Natalie sighed lightly as she walked to the park.

It was Saturday. Summer.

The weather outside was at a stalemate; not raining, but clouds lingered in the sky, threatening to storm. The air was warm, the temperature being in the low 70s.

Natalie was a generally average girl. She had long, straight blonde hair that fell to her waist with small flips at the ends. Her eyes were an icy blue. They weren't a cold icy blue, but they were a nice warm icy blue. She was lonely.

That's all there was to it. She had a few friends, but she never felt... in sync with them.

Like she was supposed to be somewhere else.. in another place. With someone else.

She sighed.

Near the bench where Natalie usually sat, a boy with spikey hair that had three colors to it stood there. His eyes were an unnatural crimson, like this boy Bakura, who was in Natalie's class.

When the boy saw her, he grinned.

"Yo! What's up?" He asked.

"Beautiful weather today huh?" Natalie said casually.

He blinked. "Indeed! Sunny weather has it's way to make everyone feel better!"

Natalie stepped closer. "So... who are you anyway?" She asked.

"Oh!" The boy's eyes widened. "Of course. I forgot to introduce myself to the beautiful young lady in front of me! My name's Yami. Yami Sennen."

Natalie blinked. She had heard of him before. He was one of those smart kids in her school.. Wasn't he a junior like her?

Natalie decided to flirt with him a bit. What could it hurt?

"Oooh! I've heard you're smart. Say something smart, pretty boy." Natalie said.

Yami smiled. "Something smart huh? Hm.. I think I know a few things.." He paused, thinking. "Ooh! How about a riddle?" He asked.

"Alright; bring it on." Natalie said.

"A bus driver was heading down a street in Colorado. He went right past a stop sign without stopping, he turned left where there was a "no left turn" sign and he went the wrong way on a one-way street. Then he went on the left side of the road past a cop car. Still - he didn't break any traffic laws. Why not?"

Natalie thought about it for a while. It took her about ten minutes to figure out. "He was walking!" She declared.

Yami blinked before grinning. "Ha you got it! Pretty clever huh? Ooh! I have another good riddle for you!"

"You can see nothing else when you look into my face, I will look you in the eye and I will never lie. what am I?"

Natalie blinked.

"Um... my reflection?" She guessed.

"That's right! You up for another one?" He asked.

"Heh.. I don't mind. Go for it." She said.

Yami smiled sheepishly. "Well I didn't actually have another one. I just ran out of riddles. How about we do something else?"

"Sure. What would you suggest?" Natalie asked, blinking at him.

"Well... I've heard about those sakura trees on the other side of the park... would you want to go see them with me?" He asked.

"Sure." Natalie said with a small smile.

"Great! Let's go!"

They both walked together.

"Wow.." Yami said as they got there, "the sakura trees are beautiful at this time of year.."

"Hey Yami.. can you tell me another one of those riddles?" Natalie asked.

"Haha another riddle?" Yami asked.

Natalie nodded.

"I just remembered a good one!" Yami exclaimed.

"I am just two and two.

I am warm, I am cold, I am lawful, unlawful a duty,

A fault I am often sold.

Dear, good for nothing when bought;

An extraordinary nary born,

And a matter of the course,

And yielding with pressure,

When taken by force."

Natalie knew what it was as soon as she saw in this video.

"Can you show me the answer?" She asked mischeviously.

Yami's eyes widened. "Show you the answer? W-wait.. Did you know?"

"Of course I do." Natalie spoke quietly.

"C-can you close your eyes?" Yami asked.

Natalie quickly closed her eyes.

"Are they closed?" Yami asked.

Natalie nodded.

"I am just two and two.

I am warm, I am cold, I am lawful, unlawful a duty,

A fault I am often sold.

Dear, good for nothing when bought;

An extraordinary nary born,

And a matter of the course,

And yielding with pressure,

When taken by force."

He stroked her face gently before pressing his lips to hers.

Natalie's eyes opened as he pulled apart to whisper. "I am a kiss."

A kiss... kiss.. kiss...
