Pulling up the pot lid, Jahnavi checked on the wonton soup that she threw in with the ramen noodles. She decided to go with something simple tonight, since there would be no time for her to prepare anything, though she had a dish from her own country set aside for herself.

Wiping her hands on her apron, she let out a bit of a sigh when she grabbed a glass of water and took a drink. Taking a napkin, she also wiped off the sweat off her forehead from being in front of a stove for awhile.

"There's probably something wrong with that man," She said to herself, referring to Hiro. "He actually likes my cooking. Kishore never liked the way I cooked for him..."

Drumming her fingers against the counter, she waited for the *ding* from the egg timer.

The ride home was quite peaceful. It was still pretty cold, but the cloudless sky and naked sun made it quite a bit nicer. And either way, it felt better than being in that sweaty costume. Hiro pondered stopping at the store to pick up some more cookies but ultimately decided against it. Cavities would not appreciated in his profession.

"But they're so good..." he thought with a sigh.

He shook his head. He didn't need them anymore, at least not now.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow..."

As Hiro finished reciting that quote in his mind, he came to his driveway. Pulling in, he dismounted his bike and pulled off his helmet. He was home, and damn glad to be there.

Picking up a large soup bowl, Jah picked up the ladle and scooped up some soup and poured it in. Piping hot and very steamy, it was they best thing to have during these cold days, especially when one was coming down with a cold.

If it was one thing that Jahnavi really enjoyed doing, it was cooking. Coming from the Brahman caste back home, it was essential that she or another of her own social level be able to prepare food. Having a lower caste touch the food of a Brahman was pretty much unheard of, which is why a lot of Brahmans end up being cooks as a profession.

Though being in Japan, she wondered if that really mattered anymore.

With her back turned to the door, she didn't even bother looking back when she heard it open. "Just go ahead and clean up, it'll be ready in about...."

*Ding!*

"...now."

As Hiro walked in, he began to say hello until-

"Just go ahead and clean up, it'll be ready in about...."

*Ding!*

"...now."


And so he did.

Finally setting the cups onto the table, she placed her hands over her hips and sighed. "Just like clockwork."

Hiro returned after putting his stuff away and giving his hands one last wash. He grinned at the food on the table.

"Yosh..." he said, sitting at the table, "It looks wonderful."

"It's only something light, I'd have made something better had I the time." Jahnavi said, scratching underneath her chin as she glanced at what she prepared.

"Either way, how was the rest of work?"

"It's only something light, I'd have made something better had I the time."

"But it's sure as hell a LOT better than cookies... despite how good those are," Hiro thought to himself, scooping some of the soup into a bowl.

"Either way, how was the rest of work?"

"Things ran a lot smoother after I got back," he said, "I thought I heard you while I was out there. Did you watch some of it?"

"Some part of it," Jahnavi admitted hesitantly, rubbing the back of her neck. "Then it was getting late so I left before the filming could finish."

"Some part of it, Then it was getting late so I left before the filming could finish."

"You don't seem too impressed," Hiro chuckled as he finally took a spoonfull the soup.

His tastebuds rejoiced as the broth and noodles entered his mouth. They finally remembered what it was like to be alive.

"Alas, the dark age of untastiness is over!" they would have cried had they voices of their own.

But since they did not, the communicated this with a brief moan of approval from Hiro.

"This is very good, by the way."

"You don't seem too impressed,"

"Not really, no." Jah admitted, picking up a cup of tea and taking a small sip. "I'm actually used to more quality cinema, and believe me, I'm a rather avid movie goer."

"This is very good, by the way."

"Thanks, I thought you would." Jah said inbetween sips. "You consume so much ramen anyway."

Ryuji walked numbly out of the game, still in shock that his fellows kicked him out of a group that he helped to form. Stumbling a short distance away wandered off the sidewalk and tripped over a garbage can and fell over.

Unfortunately the can tipped over and spilled its contents on him. The young man didn't get up, but finally after a few minutes, he got up unsteadily, now covered in....wet things...best left undescribed and continued along his way, stumbling back and forth and sobbing quietly.

"Not really, no. I'm actually used to more quality cinema, and believe me, I'm a rather avid movie goer."

"Ouch."

"Well, it is a kid's show," Hiro explained, "Of course that's no excuse for being unentertaining. Not that I think my show's bad."

He took another bite/sip of soup.

"Can't win em all, I guess. Though it looks like I'm gonna be on vacation for a while."

"Thanks, I thought you would. You consume so much ramen anyway."

"Yeah, but not like this," he said, finishing his bowl and filling it again.

After a few bites/sips/somethings of soup, he spoke again, "What did you want to talk about?"

"Oh?" She blinked a bit curiously upon hearing that. "What happened? And what do you plan on doing until you get back?"

"What did you want to talk about?"

"Well," She started and clearing her throat. "I actually found a way to get home..."

"Oh? What happened? And what do you plan on doing until you get back?"

"Well, my character's out of the picture for a while, so it looks like they won't need me for a month or so..." Hiro sighed, "But I guess that leaves me to pursue other things if I want. I might see if there are any plays going on during that time."

He brought the bowl to his mouth and began to drink the broth.

"Well, I actually found a way to get home..."

"Oh," his surprise betrayed him as he set the bowl down on the table.

Really, he should've been prepared for it. It was, of course, the reason she was staying with him: to save up until she could get home. But even so, he'd really started to enjoy her company, and just when she'd come back, it seemed she might be leaving again. For good this time.

Unable to really think of anything epic to say, he asked, "Are you going?"

"Are you going?"

"You sound disappointed," She said, noticing his tone while taking a bite of her curry. She also took a sip of her tea while she glanced at Hiro, trying to think of what else to say about the situation.

"I mean, what's up?" She asked curiously

"You sound disappointed,"

"I want to say yes."
"But that could make things complicated."
"Or lead to something like last time."
"It would be easier to dismiss it."
"But that's not what I want to say."

"Spineless!"

"I'm thinking about this too much. An actor's life is far too short to worry about such reservations. On the stage, every moment could be your last. And you, Mr. Hiro Kageyama, are on."

In the end, Hiro decided to tell her more or less what he'd just been thinking.

"Well to be honest, I am," he began, "On the one hand, I'm glad for you. I mean, I know that's why you were staying here: so you could save up enough to go home."

He paused for a brief second, "But after being around you so long, I've really started to enjoy your company. Maybe I'm being a little over-dramatic, but you've just come back, and now you're going again. It's a little frustrating."

"Obviously it's not my place to interfere, but I thought I should let you know how I feel."

"That could have been better."

After he finished texting Rao, Nimbus decided to go back to town. He didn't really have anything to do that day. Except for meeting up with his friends and getting his clothes back.

Oh shit! Where did I park Victory Tornado? Oh, wait, Ill just call it. Note to self: Be more careful when parking your bike next time.

As he screamed the name Victory Tornado, the bike started accelerating towards him. Jumping up to the bike, Nimbus rode it back to town.

"It wouldn't be forever, I would think." Jahnavi said, tilting her head to the side, not totally understanding Hiro's frustration. "I'm sure my parents would allow me to visit you from time to time if I put in a good word for you."

"Besides," she added, taking another sip of her tea. "With my fiance here, it's not safe for me to stay."

"Well that was a waste..."

Were he a cartoon, Hiro's sigh would've been accompanied by a clam. He then shook his head and chuckled at himself. He still wasn't pleased, but oh well.

"Yeah, that would be great," he said through a smile, hiding his bit of distress mostly with success.

"Besides, With my fiance here, it's not safe for me to stay."

Hiro humphed, folding his arms, "I can take him."

Hiro shrugged, "Fine."

He filled his bowl with soup once again.

"But if he comes sneaking around my house, I can't guarantee anything."

For some reason upon hearing that made the young woman smile just a bit. She had no idea why, but it did.
