The whole gang was having a happy time all together. Except maybe for Tokiya, whose face was as cold as always.
It was Halloween for goodness sake… and instead of being ecstatic… he was sitting on the couch of Recca's garage.
"C'mon, man! You have to lift your body from that couch and dance!" he shouted at the ice-man who was sitting uncomfortably and looking the other way.
Yanagi was dancing with the now-teen Kaoru Koganei. Ganko was dancing with a pissed Fuuko on the other side, with Domon behind her dancing as well.
Recca shrugged and went back in front of Yanagi and pushed Kaoru away from her. Yanagi smiled at Recca and blushed. Recca stared at Yanagi scratching the back of his head and blushed as well.
Kaoru sat beside Tokiya, "Ugh! Look at those two! All mushy and stuff! Bleh!" he said with disgust.
Tokiya took a glance at the corner of his eyes. He made a secret smile. At least I know Yanagi is happy. Hmp! If that sea monkey made her cry, I'll cut his head off with my ensui. He wondered.
"Yo! Tokiya nii-san, why don't you dance with Fuuko nee-chan…" he commented.
Tokiya snorted. "I'd rather dance with a pole." He answered simply.
"Hey I heard that!" Fuuko shouted. She was just standing in front of Kaoru. The silver haired bishounen didn't notice, because he was faced back at the teen fang boy.
"Hey what's happen—ing—waa!" Ganko was cut off as Kaoru pulled her towards the dance floor.
"C'mon we're dancing!" Kaoru shouted at the struggling fourteen year old.
"What were you saying?" Fuuko asked with a brow curved upwards.
"…" Tokiya replied.
"Silent treatment... You remind me of that sexy bishounen from the game I've been playing…" Fuuko remarked giving the silver haired bishounen a smirk.
"Oh. Really?" Tokiya said in a sarcastic tone.
"C'mon, Mi-chan! Let's dance!" she shouted cheerfully, pulling the ice-block from his seat.
As they got themselves at the dance floor, Fuuko started dancing crazily. Tokiya, in the other hand, stand like a pole. Not even bothering to move a muscle.
"Mi-chan! DANCE!" she said. Fuuko held both of Tokiya's hands, trying to make him dance.
I will not be tempted, I will not be tempted. Tokiya thought. Hm… I can't believe him. He's actually good… not with the dancing though, but with his inner deep feelings towards Fuuko. He had actually hidden it for a very long time. For four years…
Tokiya leaned forward to Fuuko's ear and whispered. "Stop it. I don't know how to dance." He said simply.
"HAHA! That's ok! Who needs to know how! You just have to move your body to the beat!" she shouted.
Ah. This monkey... I think I'm partially deaf to even hear the song that's been ringing around in my delicate ears. He thought.
"Mi-chan, you look stunned. Just move that bodéh!" she said to the tall man with a big grin while turning around gracefully.
Tokiya had been thinking to run away from Fuuko, but his feet were glued on the floor. He can't budge. Somehow, something was stopping him.
Domon suddenly came out from nowhere and interrupted Fuuko from her dancing. "HEY FUUKO-CHAN!" he shouted cheerfully. Then he stared at Tokiya, "HEY! GET OUT OF HERE! FUUKO-CHAN'S MINE! YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!" he shouted at the silver haired man beside him.
"Domon, if you don't get off my back right now… you're going to see the sun soon while flying in to ORBIT… better yet, if you want to see the heavens so early…" she said practically trying to hold her raging temper.
Domon, who's already having lots of sweat coming out from his face moved away slowly. But, before he can be out of the picture… he gave Tokiya an infuriated glare.
It's been fours years after UBS, as to Tokiya's surprise… the purple haired monkey he had his eyes on forever was now much prettier and mature looking, quieter… he'd continue with his flood of thoughts but, he'd halt when she's going to look his way and smile.
"Oh! You know Domon, right, Mi-chan? He's always been jealous to any guy he see me with." She said simply giving him a smile.
Tokiya made a discreet smile. Just looking at Fuuko's smiles can make his day right.
"I better get back there." He said pointing behind him, on the couch. He was starting to walk towards when…
"C'mon! Just try to move your hands." Fuuko had Tokiya's arm being pulled towards the dance floor again.
As to what anybody didn't know… just Kaoru… Recca was already in front of the stereo and he put another disk on the CD player.
Fuuko who was holding Tokiya's arm stopped at her tracks. She looked at Recca and said. "Oi! Recca! Why'd you stop the music!" she shouted at the raven haired ninja boy.
Recca's respond was just a BIG, CREEPY grin.
As to Fuuko's dismay, the song was much calmer. It was a slow song.
Tokiya's look was stuck on the violet haired girl. The girl suddenly looked at him, "Um… I think your right… I think you should go back to your seat…" she said nervously.
She let go of the tall man's arm. "I better break those two up. They're getting closer at each others faces." She made an excuse referring to Kaoru and Ganko.
Tokiya suddenly felt the urge to pull Fuuko's hand…and…he did so.
Fuuko was stunned. Their position was awkward. Tokiya was holding her right hand and he has his left arm behind Fuuko's back.
"You're right… let us dance." Tokiya said plainly.
Tokiya put both of Fuuko's hands behind his neck. He put his arms around her waist. Dancing to the slow music...
The tall man let Fuuko's head rest in front of his chest. At first Fuuko felt uneasy. But, then as the sound of the song started gathering inside her head, she closed her eyes and felt her beloved's warm touch. The tall bishounen also closed his eyes as both of them sustained their composure.
Domon, was out. That's good. But, the ones inside the room were staring unbelievingly. All of their mouths agape… except for Ganko. At first she was shock as to see the two in that position. But, returned calm and pleased. She knows her nee-chan's secret.
Just as the song finished... The four stepped away from each other slowly and towards the couple steadily standing in each others arm in the middle of the room.
They were in that still position. Not even bothering to move an inch or two.
BANG A loud noise was heard behind them. All four suddenly moved away fast and sat down on the couch immediately.
The two opened their eyes and stepped away from each other swiftly.
"I need water!" the both of them shouted in unison.
They both looked at each other. "On second thought." They said again in the same tone.
Tokiya tried to walk pass by Fuuko, but she wants to walk pass by him. But, if they do that, they'd bump at each other.
So, both of them just turned around and walked opposite from each other instead.
What is this I'm feeling? They both thought the same as they walked away from each other.
Domon was holding lots of food in front of him and asked stupidly. "What did I miss?"
Recca stood up. "Nothin' much... Right you guys?"
"Anyway, since its still Halloween night… why don't we go to the amusement park?" Recca suggested while glancing at his hime. "Right, hime?" he asked with a wink.
Yanagi who instantly got the point nodded energetically at her ninja. "Uh… yes. Exactly." She stammered pointing her finger to the air.
"But, what about these food I got from your fridge, Recca?" the gigantic monster asked.
"Put it down… or else… I shall have you pay all the food you've eaten inside our refrigerator…" Recca replied with his eyebrows furrowed at the food-hogging beast.
"OK. FINE." He said. He put down all the food on the nearest table. "Goodbye chocolates. Goodbye cheese. Goodbye chips. Goodbye candies. Goodbye all…" he cried out as tears flowed down freely from his eyes.
Kaoru and Ganko looked annoyed.
Tokiya walked out the garage from Recca's door to his house and followed the couple. Fuuko kept avoiding his gaze. She just walked a few feet behind him.
Kauro and Ganko pulled Domon's shirt and pulling towards the outside of Recca's house. Domon who was struggling to get back inside the garage and wanting to hold all the food in his arms one last time, cried and cried. The teen couple just glance at each other and shook their heads.
At the amusement park…
"We're here!" Recca shouted happily. "Since, this was my idea! I shall choose the one I want to go in first!" he shouted and made an eerie smile.
"But, of course everyone should be in…" he paused, he looked at Domon. "Ah. Domon, why don't you go get us food and ice-cream. My treat!" he told the giant with his arm on his shoulder.
"OK!" Domon grinned and ran off.
"Ok. Let's go to my ride!" Recca said swiftly.
"But, Recca-kun... Shouldn't we wait for Domon-kun?" Yanagi asked in concern.
"I've got a big surprise! Let's go!" Recca just replied and pulled his hime with him.
Ganko and Kaoru walked briskly behind Yanagi and Recca.
Fuuko and Tokiya were left there. Both of them looking the other way...
"C'mon Fuuko nee-chan! Let's go!" Ganko called and pulled Fuuko with her.
"Yea! You too, Tokiya nii-san!" Kaoru too, pulled Tokiya with him.
Recca stopped at his heels when they finally got to there destination. He had his hands linked at the back of his neck and he had his mischievous grin on his face. And TRUE, it made all of them SURPRISE indeed.
Yanagi's eyes grew wide with despair, her mouth agape. She pointed her shaking finger on the place they're in front of. "We're not going in there… are we?" she questioned.
"I'm sorry hime… but, you have to come with me…" Recca pulled Yanagi and sat her at the first vehicle to come out… he sat right next to her. Yanagi glanced at Fuuko and Ganko, her brows furrowed… 'HELP…' she whispered under her breath.
Another vehicle came out.
Ganko glanced at Kaoru. Then they both looked at the couple behind them.
"You guys' turn!" they both shouted in unison. They pushed the two in the vehicle and made them sit down.
The two felt hopeless and… well… they both thought there's no way out. And they both know there's no getting out from this one.
The two were still stunned, the vehicle moved inside. And as the ride started, things came coming out from nowhere and went in front of them. Making the stunned Fuuko to jump from her seat every now and then.
If it's still unknown to you… Recca had brought them in to the 'Haunted House' in the amusement park.
I'm going to bite Recca's head off when me, and Mi-chan got out of here! She thought cursing the flame-master.
Tokiya in the other hand was off guard from his calm demeanor, and as things came out… he started jumping from his seat as well. If he had a cardiac arrest, it'd be in that place at that time.
Recca and Yanagi's ride
"RECCA-KUN!" Yanagi hugged her companion immediately as a thing came flying in front of them out from nowhere.
"It's ok, hime." He said comforting Yanagi. And it seems that he's hugging her too.
"WHY DID YOU PICK THIS—AHH!" Yanagi was cut off short from her sentence and hugged Recca tighter. Leaving the flame-master really pleased.
Coz, I know this will happen. He thought and grinned to himself.
Although, he didn't plan this to his own pleasing ways… he did this too for Tokiya and Fuuko.
I wonder how their ride's going on right now… he wondered.
Yanagi screamed again, for the umpteenth time and never let go of her ninja.
"I'm here hime, don't be scared." He said protectively.
Recca and Yanagi's ride (part end)
Back at Tokiya and Fuuko's ride…
A skeletal hand fell on Fuuko's shoulder, making her to scream real loud.
Tokiya was looking at her bemused at his companion's sudden reactions inside the ride.
I need to get out of here! FAST! Fuuko thought.
A woman stood in front of them wearing all white, with red stains…then, as the vehicle was driving towards it. They thought they were going to hit it… Fuuko looked back.
The woman came in front of her face and she screamed her lungs out.
Tokiya was jumping too… jumping every time Fuuko screams her head off. He never knew Fuuko was such a jumpy person… she wasn't like that in the UBS…not at all.
It's amusing to see her at this state… he thought and smiled.
Fuuko sat uncomfortably. Especially because, it's known to her that she's sitting beside the man she had always love. Even before and after SODOM.
As soon as I get out of here, I'm totally going to rip Recca's head off! She thought. "AHH!" she screamed as a chair came out and flew in front of them.
Both of them were silent as the ride was starting to be much reassuring than the earlier moments.
"I didn't know, you were scared of these rides…" Tokiya started to break the silent.
Fuuko made a secret smile. "Well, I didn't know you were such a jumpy person…" she countered.
Tokiya smirked, "That's because of your screaming, monkey…not the ride." He answered simply.
"Yea rig—AAH!" she screamed for seemed to be her millionth time as a Dracula dummy came bobbing from above them.
Fuuko closed her eyes… Please finish this ride already! She thought. She want it finish right here, right now! She's desperate. Unknown to anyone, the only one who knows she's scared of this ride was RECCA…and now Tokiya knows it too…
Oh how she wants to curse him for this.
"I'm totally going to rip Recca's hair and feed it to him!" she shouted angrily.
"Do as you like, monkey." Tokiya said under his breath.
Wow. Can you believe this two, it's like nothing happened in Recca's house just awhile back. They seemed to be talking to each other again.
"You know what?" Tokiya said to Fuuko.
"Huh?"
"You changed." He whispered to her ear.
"I did?"
Tokiya nodded.
"Is it physical change or mentally change?" she joked.
"Both."
Tokiya's face started leaning towards Fuuko's. Making the purple hair to fidget anxiously at her seat. She readied for what she thought was a 'kiss'.
"Spider…" Tokiya said simply.
Fuuko's eyes open. "Huh?"
"Spider…" he repeated. He pointed the thing on Fuuko's shoulder.
Fuuko who was now in her pale skin, then white…can't move. She did not move...she was paralyzed as to what she thought is a 'spider' on her shoulder.
"Monkey?"
Fuuko who just stared at the thing on her shoulder didn't move, didn't even reply.
Tokiya then took hold of the "spider" and pocketed it.
Fuuko who was baffled and frightened at the sight of a spider… she stared at Tokiya stunned and unable to say anything.
"Wh—what d—did yo—you just do with tha—that THING!"
"Simple. It's not real. Don't tell me you're afraid of a toy spider." He answered plainly.
"Huh? It's not real?" Fuuko asked unknowingly.
Tokiya answered nodding his head, and started laughing.
"But, I… I thought…" she stammered.
"I put it on your shoulder when you weren't looking…" Tokiya said. What? Tokiya pulling something like that! Un-Tokiya like…
"WHAT!" Fuuko shouted.
She started hitting Tokiya screaming…
"AH! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT ONE OF MY GREATEST FEARS ARE SPIDERS!" she screamed on the top of her lungs and kept hitting our beloved silver haired bishounen… (A/n: not to mention… even 'she' loves him. XD).
Tokiya suddenly held both of Fuuko's wrists then leaned his face towards the now stunned Fuuko Kirisawa's face. The wind goddess just stared at Tokiya not knowing what to do next… she kept blinking her eyes unable to move. What the heck is he doing! She thought.
Tokiya's lips touched the staggered Fuuko's lips. As their lips touched… the fujin-wielder closed her eyes. Both of them deepening their kiss…
Outside the ride
"Are you ok, hime?" Recca asked Yanagi.
"I'm ok…" she answered.
"You sure?" he asked again.
Yanagi nodded. "I still can't believe you drag me in that ride."
Recca scratched the back of his head nervously. "He he…"
Yanagi pinched Recca's nose playfully. "You and your dirty plans!" she teased.
"Huh? Hey! This was the first time I thought of that, mind you…" he replied.
Yanagi stuck out a tongue.
"Hm… I wonder what happen to Mikagami-sempai and Fuuko-chan…"
Recca put his arm on Yanagi's shoulders. "Their fine. I'm sure of it. Something must've happened between them by now…" he said.
"Huh?" Yanagi looked at her future-dirty-thinking-husband… "Recca!" she shouted at him.
"Just kidding…" he said and chuckled.
(part end)
Just around the corner, their ride will finally be done and they can finally get off of their seat.
The light swallowed both of them as their vehicle stopped, back at the beginning of their ride.
"Fuuko-chan! Mikagami-sempai!" Yanagi called cheerfully. Just behind her was Recca waving his hand to the air.
Both Recca and Yanagi ran toward them.
"So, how'd it go?" Recca asked grinning and coughing lightly.
"It was great!" Fuuko replied, elbowing Tokiya at his rib.
"Uh…yea." He answered as well.
"Oh… I thought you would be mad at Recca-kun…" Yanagi said.
Recca pulled Yanagi immediately. "Uh…hime… don't think that way. Fuuko's happy."
"So, what happen?" Recca asked suspiciously and kept bobbing his brows up and down.
"What in the world do you mean?" Fuuko asked as she madly started blushing her face in embarrassment.
"Are you… you know?" he asked again, putting both his index fingers together.
Yanagi blushed, "Recca-kun! Stop that!" she shouted at her boyfriend.
Tokiya suddenly put his arm on Fuuko's shoulders. "We're officially together." Tokiya said calmly.
HUH? WHAT! Is he SERIOUS! Fuuko thought.
All three were agape at Tokiya's actions.
"Really!" Both Recca and Yanagi questioned in unison, with an unbelievable look in their faces.
