Chapter 1

It was a beautiful sunny day at the Yuuki residence where Rito's sister Mikan was in the kitchen cleaning dishes. Just then he came from the stairs as he stepped down with his black long sleeved button up shirt, blue jeans and neatly combed hair. He went into the kitchen to find Mikan towards to the sink

"Rito where are you heading"? She asked

"I'm gonna go for a walk around the town for a while"

Mikan scratched her head "Okay, but you're not taking Lala with you?" He looked at her and smiled.

"No, she told me she was working on an invention". Rito was next to the door putting his tennis shoes and was ready to leave.

"Try not to stay out too long". Mikan yelled

"Alright" Rito was then walking down the street with one hand in his pants pocket and the other swung out. He noticed how it was a beautiful day today by the sun shining very brightly and the birds chirping about.

He soon found himself in his small home town where he went into the field where he saw kids playing near the playground and people relaxing on the benches.

"Hmm, I wonder if there is a bench for me to relax on." Rito walked around to find himself a seat until he saw a girl sitting on a bench reading a book with a bag of taiyaki next to her. She had long and beautiful golden hair that shined pleasantly through the sun. She also had crimson red eyes while wearing some sort of black clothing. It was Golden Darkness sitting there on the bench under the tree.

Rito was walking towards her

"Hey Yami" he had a bright smile on his face

"Yuuki Rito" she looked up at him with a surprised face

"What brings you here?" Yami asked

"I was just out for a walk, when I came into town I decided to relax a little" Rito smiled again "What are you reading?"

"It's a new romantic novel; I heard it was a very good read." Rito took a look at the front cover of the book.

"Oh I see it's a book about romance and relationships!" said Rito

"Yes" Yami replied. She looked at Rito as he gave out a short laugh

"I didn't know you were into that stuff"

"I've never really been able to understand it all, love and how people feel."

"Is that so, hey do you mind if I sat up here next to you?" Yami's face grew light red as a rose.

"I don't really mind" She said softly.

Rito sat down next to her moving the bag of taiyaki on to her side. He then sat up and looked at the tree as it showed bits of sun rays coming from its leaves.

"You know" Rito said" "I think love is that feeling when you accept a person willingly, inspite of knowing all the traits that he or she possesses…because you love the one a lot and can't let go him/her for anything."

Yami looked at him with her crimsons eyes wide open. Rito turned his head back at her with another smile on his face.

"I never knew it could be that way before." Yami replied

"Yeah, that's how I think love actually is" Rito said as he closed his eyes and lifted his head once again.

After a few minutes Yami then got up closed her book and grabbed her bag

"If you want this bench to yourself then please go ahead"

Rito opened his eyes. "Wait I didn't mean to take this for myself" He yelled.

"It's fine" Yami said. I'm done here anyways so I'll be going now and thank you for telling me a little about love" As she was walking off Rito had got up from the bench and stopped her.

"Wait, you think you wanna come over my house for dinner? I'm sure Mikan would be happy about it"

Yami looked at Rito and smiled at him. To him her smile was like something you wouldn't see every day in a lifetime if you knew her well

"Sure, I would love to have another taste of Mikan's cooing".

With that said both Rito and Golden darkness walked into the town with a glowing sunset on the horizon hoping to get an amazing taste out Mikan Yuuki's dinner.
