"It wasn't even an issue, Fuk." Oki prided herself on her wardrobe. "I just... Wow, you're really not giving me much of a choice here, are you?"

Fukurou smiled. "Perhaps not all of what I have learned from the males in my life is negative," he said with a certain pride of his own. "Seven it shall be then," he stood. "And you'll see to that, correct?" he asked Kovu...

Kovu looked from Fukurou to Oki, then back up to Fukurou with his ears pressed back. "But she'll send me back!"
"Fuk, you've got to meet me half way on this," Oki pleaded. She was feeling forced, and she didn't like that feeling.

Fukurou looked to Oki and nodded his concession to that. "Where is the half-way point that you propose then?" he asked, a little intruiged...

"Can I give you a maybe and get back to you after work?" Oki asked hopefully.

Fukurou thought about it. Everything he was trying to learn about how to treat women from the males who where in his life said no, do not let her get away with that. Take her out, get her away from her huddling in the dark. Don't take no for an anwer. Smile, say 'seven it is' and walk out. "Of course, Ms. Oki," Fukurou said, smiling and gave her a little bow...

Oki offered him a weak smile. "Thanks, Fuk. I appreciate it."

"I was not my intention to sound abraisive, Ok... I only hope that you will put only the most positive of considerations towards my invitation, and I shall return at the end of your classes to inquire after your answer, whatever it may be..."

"I will, Fuk, I promise. And I would like to go, it sounds like a wonderful evening. I just want to make sure that I'm up to it and that I don't end up putting in extra hours here."

Fukuoru bowed again. "I respect your choice, and your honesty Ms. Oki. Until the end of your educational sessions then..." Fukouru turned, and left the room...

Oki waved Fukurou out and coaxed Kovu up on to her lap. The cub purred happily, surveying the room with pride while Oki caressed him gently.
"What am I going to do, Kovu?"
"Play with me?" he offered helpfully.

The day passed no differently from any other for Fukurou. He did what training he could. He read yet another novel. He did some cleaning, hearing the rumor that Otomeken had returned, though he thought he himself would have heard from her by now if that were true... Finally, he showered, dressed in very formal wear. It wasn't a tux, but made him look like royalty straight from a Scottish court in the medieval ages, and he returned to the school to illicit Oki's answer...

Oki was hunched over her desk with a pile of marking before her, chewing on the end of her pen. It hadn't been one of her better teaching days, and to top it off she had been handed the pile of marking just at the end of the day to help cover for another teacher who was gone on a mission. And of course, it was due in the morning. Oki had barely dented the essays on chakra control...
Kovu was napping placidly under her desk, having spent the afternoon chasing anything that moved out on the grounds. He'd had a far better day than the frustrated ninja working above him.

Fukurou walked up, poised his hand to knock on the door, and realized the position Oki was in. He thought it better of him, to once again try his nice gesture. No doubt she would still be there in fifteen mintues, and so he retreated as quietly as he could, to once again procure tea...

Kovu stirred, flicking an ear at the approaching footsteps, but Oki was too wrapped up in her work to notice. She pulled her hair back with one hand, holding it in place while her eyes scanned the page.
