Nervous hands clutched and unclutched, trying so hard to hide his excitement behind a rough complexion. Natsume had all of a sudden pushed poor Watanuki into a false outing with Miketsukami and Ririchiyo, when in fact it was a date with none other than Karuta. Her pink pig tails on either side bounced playfully as she walked down the side walk. She was dressed in a cute little pink dress as her pink eyes shimmered in the beautiful sunlight that sprinkled over her soft skin, one of her hands grasping a purple lollipop and in the other a box of candy gummies. The girl was well prepared to say the least, knowing she would be out for a while and HAD to have a stock of delicious treats. However, it was still too much for the young Watanuki to take, unable to break the silence with words…until… "What are we going to do today?" A soft, chilled voice spoke through and broke the ending silence at last, Karuta's words ringing through the boy's ears.

"W-Well…didn't Natsume give us a list of errands to run or something? He said he would give it to you…or…he said Ririchiyo and Miketsukami had them." Karuta brought the lollipop up to her lips and with a soft sound put it there, sucking happily as it melted in her mouth. Her expressionless face gazed forward as she moved the sweet treat back.

"No…I don't think Natsume gave me anything." Watanuki gave a grunt and crossed his arms stubbornly.

"Then…what do you want to do?" It was hard for him, for you see he had a total crush on Karuta and though he was hard headed and stubborn she still accepted him and the way he was. They were opposites in more ways than one, but all the more perfect for one another. Watanuki would do anything to protect her.

"Hmmm…." The girl walked on, humming a moment before blinking her eyes and turning to him. "We should…go by the grocery store." Watanuki raised an eyebrow at that, giving her a curious look.

"Okay, but why do we need to go there? It sounds like Ririchiyo and Miketsukami are…" Before he could finish she broke his words.

"I've ran out of pocky and lollipops." She whispered.

"You have a lollipop there, and you really shouldn't eat so many sweets…" Karuta said nothing to that, instead, continued walking forward. Watanuki let out a sigh and walked on as well, the girl was rather confusing sometimes to others, though to the boy it was nothing new. He knew this side of the pink haired, cherry eyed girl all too well.
