Hikaru frowned at the invitation in her hand. It was to Sophie and Julian's wedding. The worst part of it is when Sophie called her and said her ex Ryuga would be the best man and she wanted Hikaru to be the maid of honor.
I have to find someone to go with so I can show Ryuga i'm over him.
She picked up her phone and searched through her contacts. Then she dialed Madoka to ask her for advice.
"Hey Karu what's up"Madoka asked.
"You got an invitation to Sophie and Julian's wedding right"Hikaru asked.
"Yeah i'm glad they finally decided to get married I hope i'll be next"Madoka said.
"Well I have a problem"Hikaru said.
"What is it"Madoka asked.
"Ryuga's the best man"
"Oh well i'm sure he'll keep to himself so you don't have to worry about it"Madoka tried to assure her.
"I need to find a date for the wedding. Do you think you could help me"Hikaru asked.
"Of course let me just make a few calls"Madoka said hanging up.
An hour later Madoka called Hikaru back.
"Ok well I finally found someone"Madoka said.
"Really who"Hikaru asked.
"He should be on his way to your house now"Madoka said.
"You did what"Hikaru yelled. Then she heard a knock at the door.
"I'll call you back later"Hikaru said. She hung up not even waiting for Madoka to say anything. She went to the door and was surprised to see Bao.
"Bao what are you doing here"Hikaru asked looking around Bao to look for the guy Madoka was talking about.
"Are you looking for your date to Sophie's wedding"Bao asked.
"H-How did you know"Hikaru asked.
"I owed Ginga a favor"Bao said.
"So you're my date"Hikaru asked.
"Yeah is that a problem"Bao asked.
"No not at all to be totally honest I just didn't expect you of all people"Hikaru said.
"Well if that's how it's gonna be i'll leave"Bao said turning around.
"Wait I didn't mean it like that. Please come inside"Hikaru said smiling at Bao who just looked at her before slowly walking inside. He sat down on the couch and crossed his arms.
"Would you like something to drink"Hikaru asked.
"No i'm fine"Bao said. Hikaru just came and sat on the couch opposite from his.
"Did Madoka by chance tell you all the details"Hikaru asked.
"All I was told is you needed a date to Sophie's wedding"Bao said.
"Well do you have any questions"HIkaru asked.
"To be totally honest I really don't care to hear the details"Bao said.
"Oh ok well do you have a bag packed"HIkaru asked.
"Yeah"Bao said taking a backpack off his back.
"Ok well we have to ride a train to meet Sophie and everyone else so are you ready Ryo has a jet waiting for us and some other bladers"Hikaru said.
"Let's go then"Bao said standing up.
"Ok i'll be right back"Hikaru said running into her room. She came back out with a backpack and they walked out of her apartment and met up with Ginga,Madoka,Aguma,Tsubasa,and Yuu then they all got on the train.
Bao sat across from Hikaru but he pulled out a book and started reading making no effort to talk. Hikaru sighed since the silence was bothering her.
"I'll be back in a sec"Hikaru said getting up.
"Whatever"Bao said not even looking up from his book.
"Madoka can I talk to you for a minute"Hikaru asked.
"Sure what's up"Madoka asked.
"Alone"Hikaru said looking at Ginga who was too busy eating cheeseburgers to even notice her.
"Sure"Madoka said getting up and walking to the food car with Hikaru.
"What's wrong"Madoka asked.
"You set me up with a guy i've only ever met once is what's up"Hikaru said whispering in case someone was around.
"He owed Ginga a favor so I kinda took him up on it"Madoka said.
"You could have at least told me who exactly it was or picked a little bit more social guy"Hikaru said.
"You asked for a date and I got you one plus Ryuga always got jealous easily"Madoka said smiling.
"I guess you're right he is handsome but you can tell he doesn't wanna be around me no one will ever believe we're a couple"Hikaru said.
"I'm sure everything will work out now I have some repairs on Pegasus to do so I gotta go"Madoka said
"Thanks"Hikaru said. "For nothing"she mumbled once Madoka had left the car. When Hikaru got back to the car she saw that Bao was still reading his book. Hikaru just frowned and sat in her seat looking out the window. A few hours later Hikaru woke up and Bao was still reading. She watched him as he read until he looked up at her.
Is that all he ever does.
"What"he asked clearly annoyed.
"Nothing I just don't understand how you read for so long"Hikaru said.
"It's a good book and reading passes time"Bao said before he stuck his nose back in his book.
"What's it about"Hikaru asked.
"An ancient samurai and a…..never mind it's not like you care"Bao said scowling at her.
"And how do you know what I do and don't care about"Hikaru asked.
"It's getting late you should get some sleep"Bao said closing his book and putting it in his backpack before he picked up his backpack and left.
"Wait a second don't change the subject"Hikaru said going after him. Bao didn't say anything until he got to his room.
"Goodnight sweetie"Bao spat slamming the door in Hikaru's face before she could say anything else. Hikaru frowned and hmmphed before she stormed off to bed.
