It was a rather quiet day in the base today, Seto had gone to work and Mary had gone out with Momo on some kind of shopping trip which Kido declined to tag along with them for as she had quite a few things to do around the base which would be a lot easier without all the ruckus the usual group caused. Shintaro, Ene, Hibiya and Konoha also had other things to do causing the rare occurrence of a peaceful base.
Kido was just humming a tune to herself as she cleaned up the kitchen when she heard a rather loud shout disrupting the quietness come from another room. That's right Kano was the only one who had nothing to do today so he was still in the base. Whilst rolling her eyes she made her way as to where the shouting had come from wondering what on earth Kano was doing now.
Walking into the room where she heard him, he let out another shout which felt like it pierced her eardrums. Scrunching her face up in displeasure she looked to see he was shouting at the television screen that was hooked up to a Wii console they had recently saved for, seems he was playing Mario Kart and was getting really into it, his body moved along with the remote moving in the directions which his kart was moving on the screen.
"Oi Kano stop shouting you're being too loud" Her plan was just too tell him this and leave the room to get back to her chores but from making herself known Kano turned back to her grinning clearly having other intentions in mind.
"Hmm i'm just having fun Kido~ you should come join me instead of being such a bore doing housework"
"Well somebody has to do them otherwise this place would look a mess and its not like you try and help" Her eyes narrowed into a glare at him but he just laughed and shook his head.
"I always listen to Danchou when she tells me to do something, if she asks nicely~" He turned his back on her then going back to the menu area on the game, his grin never once leaving his face "I know you're really just refusing because you know i'll beat you cause you're so terrible at games"
"I am not terrible at them! what could be so hard about driving a pretend car anyway tch" Her glare only got worse looking upon him but he wasn't paying attention to her expression right now.
He knew he had got her, Using her competitive side he would lure her into play the game it really was simple he just knew Kido so well.
She knew this of course but couldn't help herself, his taunting was always so annoying she fell for it most of the time and he just couldn't help himself from pressing her buttons.
"So you'll do it? play a game against me and see that you won't be able too win" He was speaking in an amused tone and turned to her once again handing over another remote which Kido snatched from his hand whilst sitting down next to him.
"Ok so these are the buttons you need" His hand swept over hers directing at which buttons to use and telling her what they do.
She felt the weight of his hand against hers immediately and had to stop herself from blushing first before pulling her hands away from his and gave him a serious expression
"I know what i'm doing just start the game"
He paused for a moment looking at her and smiled at her reaction, of course he had just used that as an excuse too touch her hand.
"Ok then be prepared to lose though, and first we have too pick our characters" Clicking some buttons he got them to the character selection screen and straight away he pointed to King boo who was a ghost king "You should be him you're both leaders and ghosts its perfect"
Her eyes traveled over to look in his direction, glaring at him once again before moving a hand too reach up and flick his shoulder too which he just laughed at and rubbed the spot afterwards.
Of course she didn't pick King boo but instead went with baby Mario because he was quite cute and red was a favourite colour of hers so why not. Meanwhile Kano had picked Waluigi too which Kido had too speak up at "Sounds annoying, perfect for you"
Kano laughed once again and then went onto pick the vehicle he wanted to use "You're so mean Kido"
"Says you"
"Come on we're starting now you better be ready"
He was right, Kido had already picked what she wanted to use and the stage had been picked so now all that was left to do was wait until the time on the screen went down and they could start off the race.
It went just as hoped for Kano, Kido was just getting used to how everything worked though she did try her hardest it just wasn't enough for her too beat Kano this race and he looked over at her with a smug smile at the end of it "See i told you that you couldn't win"
Kido just stared at the game not falling for his taunting this time "That was just a practice run, select a whole cup and we'll see who wins that"
"Oooo so you haven't faced enough defeat yet then sure lets play a cup" he then went away selecting the necessary buttons and got everything sorted "Ok then Kido, but lets make this interesting hmm? if you win i'll clean the house for you but if i win then i get to ask you too do something for me which you can't refuse"
"Why would i agree too that?" she turned too him and raised an eyebrow.
"Well if you're so sure you're going to beat me then you have nothing too lose do you, and you wanted me too help you with the house work sooo badly right~?"
"Fine, then deal i'll show you and make you work extra hard" she turned away from him once again then and looked determinedly at the screen now she had extra motivation not too lose this, she wasn't going to let him win once again no way.
Kano smirked at her, she was lured so easily into the trap. He knew there was no way she was going to beat him, after all this was her first time playing and he had been playing at least for a couple days now. So with all the confidence he was going to win he turned to the screen and got the cup started.
It was all going quite well for Kano, he was in the lead with Kido behind him by a good enough distance, ahh he knew it, he was definitely going to win so there was no harm in using his power and taking a little sneak peak over at Kido. Making it look like his eyes were still glued to the screen Kano was actually taking a lot at the cute concentration face Kido was pulling. She had part of her tongue stuck out and her brows were furrowed paying full attention to the screen, Kano couldn't help but find it adorable which turned out too be his downfall as he stared for a little bit too long and his kart ended up flying off the road giving Kido the lead.
"Shit" he mumbled quietly as he put his attention back on the game, but it was too late and Kido had beat him that round to which she looked over at him and smirked just like he had done before but Kano didn't falter at this and smiled right back at her "I just thought i would let you win one, give you some confidence"
"Yeah yeah just start the next round"
Kano happily obliged and they got the next round going, by this time now Kido had gotten pretty into it and was making remarks at the characters on the screen, saying they were getting in her way and no you didn't just throw that banana at me. Kano was having fun just listening to her but he joined in as well throwing insults at the characters on the screen.
It was all fun and games till they got to their last race and it was tied between the both of them, this match would be the deciding race as too who wins the bet. They both looked on eagerly at the screen ready.
The race was going pretty evenly until the last lap and Kido managed too pull ahead of Kano. "Ha! see look i told you i'm going to win"
Kano was calm though, he had a secret weapon up his sleeve, the dreaded blue shell which he had been saving. The blue shell which went straight to the player at first place and blasted them so hard their kart stopped going for a good while, long enough that he would be able to pull ahead.
Just as they were getting near the end and Kido was so confident that she was going too win Kano pulled out his secret weapon and the shell went flying, and it flew right into Kido's Kart making it explode and giving Kano just the time he needed to drive straight past her and onto victory.
"Yes i won! see look Kido i told you, you're just terrible at these games" He turned to her grinning brightly.
Kido turned to him her mouth hanging partially open completely awestruck from the event that just happened "You did not just blue shell me!"
"Mmm i think i did" his grin stayed on his face completely amused by her expression "And that means you have to do anything that i ask you too~"
She just couldn't believe it, he blue shelled her! right at the last minute, victory was so close but then he ripped it straight out from underneath her "You're so annoying! I can't believe it"
This just made him laugh and shake his head "Now now Kido listen to what I've got too say hmm? because i won tomorrow you have to dress up cutely, in one of your frilly skirts i know you hide and spend the day with me doing what i want"
"What! no way!" what he was basically asking for was for them too go on a date, did he realize that, he must of right?! her face got a slight pinkish hue to it as she started at him eyes wide
"I'm sorry but that was the deal, you have to do what i want and that's what i want so you're just going to have to deal with and you better hurry up and finish those chores seen as you'll have no time to do them tomorrow" His smile was innocent and cute as he looked upon her but of course he knew that he had technically just set them up on a date which really made him feel kind of nervous, not that he showed this.
Kido put on an irritated look and then stood up, she didn't want him too see her face grow ever pinker and so walked away from him straight away to the door "Fine, but that doesn't mean i'm going to like it"
"Oh don't worry I'll make sure we have fun!"
Grumbling to herself about what an idiot he was she left the room and went back to her chores whilst Kano sat there smiling happily to himself. He was feeling a bit nervous yes but it really would be fun too spend a whole day with Kido, Just them. Yeah he was looking forward to it as well, especially knowing she'd have to dress up cutely for him. This game of Mario Kart turned out to be a lot better than expected.
