Naruto shrugged. "I don't mind. It sounds like fun, dattebayo." He said.

"Great, let's go!"

Ark laughed lightly before nodding in agreement, quickly claiming Hikari's hand within his as they walked towards town, though he was curious about Blake, especially since it seemed like she was hiding something...

"So, Ark-san, where are we going, exactly?" Hikari asked.

"Actually, Blake-chan and I were going to a cafe in town that's pretty good." Naruto said.

"I was thinking we could head to the movies first, see if there was anything playing that you'd like to see, and then get something to eat later on," Ark replied to his girlfriend. That and he didn't want to overlap with anything that Naruto had planned, which was why he asked the fox in the first place.

Amaya sighed lightly as she finished her homework for the evening. Sure she had the room to herself, but that wasn't much of a consolation prize when she knew the others were out on the town. Wondering just what she could get into, she grabbed Kaze no Ryu and strapped the weapon holster to her thigh before heading out, intent on getting some practice in. On her way over to the training grounds, she saw Team CRNL picking on a new team. Weighing her options...she sighed and shook her head before making her way towards the two teams. "Oi! Save the team fights for class," she shouted.

(Ugh...Phoenix wants to know when we get to see Team CFVY in action...)

Hikari's eyes sparkled at that. "Ooh, that sounds lovely! I haven't seen a movie in so long!"

Naruto glanced over at Blake. "What do you think, Blake-chan? Would you like to go to the movies first?"

(It came! It came, it came, it came! I'm not posting the NSFW one that I mention though

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater )

Blake thought about it for a few seconds before nodding her head. "Sure, as long as you're okay with it just being as friends between us?" she asked, hoping that there wouldn't be any hard feelings. Sure she felt like something was developing when it came to the fox, but she wasn't one hundred percent sure what it was just yet.

((WHOA, AWESOME!!))

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, sure, that's fine." He said, his confident smile in place. He had feelings for Blake, definitely, but he wasn't sure yet what they were, or if she would return them. It would be better to get to know her first, be friends, and then perhaps go farther.

(I know, right? And yeah...the other one is really not post-worthy since it has Blake in a...NSFW type of pose...all I'm gonna say on that *sweatdrop*)

Ark chuckled lightly to himself as he saw how the two were acting to one another but wasn't going to play matchmaker. Besides, it would be more fun to tease the todd (male fox). Though if Hikari or Amaya wanted to play that role, then he wouldn't go against helping. Besides, as far as he knew they were still friends. Though he still had a suspicion that Blake Belladonna was a faunus, though why she was hiding it, he had no clue. Mentally shrugging, he put it to the back of his mind so that he could focus on the date he was having with his girlfriend.

((Ah...yeah...))

When they got to the movie theater, Hikari was the first to look up what was playing. "Wow, there's a pretty good selection. I don't suppose anyone else loves horror movies?" She asked, knowing that at least two of her companions had lived through horror situations. She didn't want to be insensitive.

Naruto didn't seem fazed at all. "I love horror movies! But I love action-adventure even more, dattebayo!" He said, pointing out the "Lord of the Rings" listing that was playing soon.

Ark thought for a few seconds as he looked over the selection. "I'm okay with horror films actually, though they don't scare me as much," he admitted. Then again, The Lord of the Rings and "Guardians of the Galaxy both looked cool to him.

Blake looked at the films silently, honesty okay with all of them mentioned as she remembered hearing good things about them all. Honestly, all she wanted to do was spend time with Naruto and his friends.

Hikari hadn't seen Lord of the Rings up there, and it was on her list of things to see. "I say we see Lord of the Rings!" She said happily. "Are we going to get snacks and drinks, or should we skip that?"

"We can't see a movie without popcorn, dattebayo!" Naruto said, nodding his head.

"And there's no popcorn without drinks," Blake added.

"I agree. So we get popcorn and drinks. Does everyone have enough money? I'll cover the difference if anyone doesn't have enough." Hikari said. She had plenty of money that she didn't really need, so she felt like it was better to use it on her friends.

"I'm good," Ark replied, knowing that he, too, had a vast amount of wealth...not that he was going to advertise it anytime soon. In all honestly, he'd rather have his family back rather than all the gold his clan had accumulated over the years.

"I've got just enough for popcorn, a soda and food later."Naruto said happily, already heading over to the ticket counter.

Areku chuckled lightly as he got into line for the concession stand with Naruto. Luckily it wasn't that long of a wait.

Hikari went to get tickets and snacks as well, and soon enough they were all sitting in the theater. "I can't wait, I heard this movie is supposed to be awesome." She said excitedly.

"I've heard that as well," Blake said with a light grin as she sat next to Naruto.

(timeskip to after the movie?)

((Sure.))

When the movie was over, Naruto walked out of the theater with his friends. "Man, that was awesome! I can't wait till the next one comes out!" He said happily.

Hikari nodded. "I know, right? I'll bet I could use some of those moves in battle, if I altered them a bit. Man, I have to pee. Blake-chan, will you come to the bathroom with me?"

”I have to agree with you there Naruto. All that action…just…I don’t think there are words for it, is there?” he asked with a light chuckle after disposing of the trash that both Hikari and he had in the bin nearby. ”It will definitely be interesting to see how the others cope with the challenges that will likely come…and I bet you could Hika-chan. Hell, I bet I could as well,” he admitted before telling Hikari and Blake that they would wait for them out in the lobby.

”It definitely was quite a fun movie,” Blake said after the four of them came out of the movie, clearly enjoying it. Though there were some moments that scared the ever-living hell out of her…she hoped that Naruto didn’t mind it when she squeezed his hand…

Realizing that she, too, had to go to the bathroom, she nodded and followed Hikari into the bathroom. It was quite a long movie after all…

(Phoenix would like to apologize about the mix-up )

((Phoenix of the Immortal: lol that's okay. Wolfie gets super confused sometimes.))

Hikari went into the bathroom with Blake, making sure to be out of earshot of the boys before she spoke. "So, I just have to ask...you don't have to answer if you don't want to. Do you like Naruto-kun?" She asked.

"Man, I gotta go to the movies more often. I forgot how much fun it could be. I noticed that Hikari-chan stayed really close to you for a while. What's that like?"

(oh crap...Phoenix got his movies mixed up! He is very sorry...)

Blake blushed lightly at the blunt question. She knew that she could have said she didn't want to answer the question, but honestly, she wanted someone to talk to. "Nothing I say will get out of here unless I say otherwise?" she counter asked. If Hikari agreed to that...then she would be the second person she would tell about her being a Faunus...hoping that Hikari wouldn't hate the fact she was hiding.

"It's actually quite nice. Though I saw you and Blake were very close as well..." Ark said as an observation. He wasn't teasing the fox, at least not at the moment.

Hikari held one hand over her heart. "Of course. Nothing spoken in the confidence of friendship will ever be revealed. That's just simple girl code." She said sincerely. If there was one thing Hikari was good at, it was keeping her word.

Naruto blushed slightly. "Yeah, I guess so. Listen...how did you know that you liked Hikari? Like, what was it that made you sure it was real, and not just friendship?"

"Alright then, yes I do like Naruto-kun," Blake admitted before taking the ribbon off of her head, knowing that she could trust Hikari to keep the secret. "And...I'm also a Faunus," she admitted.

"Sometimes, you just have to go out on a limb and hope you're successful." Areku said. It was actually quite hard to explain actually.

Hikari was floored. Sure, she had suspected that Blake was hiding something, but she had never guessed it was something like this. And on top of that, she certainly hadn't expected for the other girl to tell her so suddenly. "Wow, Blake-chan..I-I'm honored that you trust me with such a secret. I double promise I'll never tell!" She said, a determined look on her face. "But aside from that, ohmygosh you like Naruto-kun! That's great, because I'm pretty sure he likes you, too." She decided not to ask questions about her being a Faunus. She figured Blake had a good reason for hiding it, and she wasn't the type to pry.

Naruto's ears lowered. "So...you didn't know for sure that you liked her? But then how does anyone know when they really like someone?"
