~This Starry Sky...

Hey guys xD First fanfic =P Don't be too harsh please ;A;
Err…this fanfic's based on Episode 12 of Bakemonogatari xD
I just thought that that episode had a lot of meaning xD
So, I expanded it ^^ Enjoy! =D Read and Review please! ^o^

"We're here," Senjougahara had said as we pulled up in a parking space. It was approximately 8 pm. The place seemed deserted and isolated. Her father has offered to give us a ride to the so-called date that Senjougahara has set up. However, the atmosphere during the car ride was awfully awkward and tense. Maybe it was because of Senjougahara's relationship with her father? Whatever it is, I shouldn't go further into it. Perhaps she'll tell me when she's ready.

"Stay here," Senjougahara said…wait, let me rephrase that, Senjougahara commanded. "I'll make sure everything's ready. It won't take long." She opened the car door, allowing some cold air to slip in, and then she stepped out and closed it once again, leaving her father and me in absolute silence. There was nothing but the sound of crickets chirping and the wind howling, I keep on thinking whether or not I should make conversation. However, before I can speak, Senjougahara's father has already broken the silence.

"She's a good child," he stated.

"I know. Despite the fact that she has a sharp tongue, she's perfectly fine," I answer back.

He gave out a low chuckle at my response. "She's like that because of me. I don't seem to be able to spend time with her. That's probably why she talks like that. She's gotten so used to scolding me it became a normal habit."

I stayed quiet as a response. I honestly did not know how to answer what he just said. So, I fidget with my jacket zipper instead.

"But I know you won't leave her because of that," he continued. "I can see how well you treat her. Please know that I approve of your relationship."

Shocked and surprised, I stammered. "I didn't know you had such high expectations of me, sir. But, thank you."

"I don't expect you to. I trust you to. I trust you to take care of her, spend time with her, and be there for her. I trust you to do all these things that I couldn't," he told me as he turned around to face me.

"Yes, sir. I promise I won't let you or your daughter down." It was true. I had to do it for the both of them. Heck, it could even heal their relationship slowly by slowly.

He hummed in contentment and nodded towards a distant figure approaching us. "Well, it seems that she's back. Have fun and take care, you two!"

I hear the car door open and I get dragged outside by Senjougahara. "Let's go!" she exclaimed.

"Thank you, sir. For the ride," I said and gave Senjougahara a look saying, 'Be respectful and thank him for the ride.'

She rolled her eyes in return and for a second I was scared that she'll shake her head no. But she didn't. Instead she said, "Thanks…Father," before closing the car door.

Senjougahara's father rolled down his window and replied, "Any time. I'll be here. For both of you." And with that, he rolled his window up and drove out of the parking lot.

We stare off at the distance and linger in the silence that surrounded us. I felt a tug on my shirt sleeve and looked towards my right.

Senjougahara was looking me straight in the eyes. I seemed to be lost in them for a while until I noticed her lips were moving and that she was saying something.

"Come on. We don't have all night, you know? Which I find to be a pity," she said whilst accompanying it with her mischievous smile.

I nodded my head and let her drag me into the forest...
