Date. Date. MY GOD THIS IS A DATE.
Fuka Kazamatsuri mentally panicked as she was walking side-by-side with Valvatorez, she shook her head furiously. No! No! This is NOT a date! It can't be. She doesn't like Valvatorez THAT much, only a simple crush that will go away once her real Prince Charming comes over and whisks her away on a white horse! Plush, there was Artina who is clearly the true lover of Valvatorez. So this isn't a date, this will never be a date. Just a simple mission or an outing between friends or comrades! Yes, that it. Not a date. Nope.
Not a date.
A couple passed by them, "Aww, what a cute couple!" She smiled brightly, her partner had his arm around her shoulder and smiled at Valvatorez and Fuka. "It reminds us of when we were new on dating with each other." He teased, the girl playful pushed him. "Stop it, dear! You're making me blush!" She giggled.
It took all her willpower to not blush and to prevent herself from screaming her head off. She just established this isn't a date and two people come randomly passing by and say this is a date. Freakin' A! Fuka heard Valvatorez mused to himself, a hand to his chin. "A date, they say? Hmm, maybe that's a good way to come undercover. A couple, it would look strange if I was hanging around with you while we search together, Lass." His red eyes glanced at Fuka whose eyes widened in complete and utter shock.
"Whoa, whoa! A co-couple?! Are you out of your mind? Valzy, we're just friends! And, and, Artina as well as Fenfen would get pretty angry and it won't be pretty." She shivered, it was okay with Fenrich but Artina…oh God. Artina.
He raised an eyebrow, "It's nothing wrong, we're just pretending. Now, come! We shall search as a couple!" He declared, holding her hand and pulling her along. "But show me that shop you mentioned with sardines." Valvatorez nodded his head seriously.
Fuka deadpanned, "He has no idea what it means if we pretend to be a couple, doesn't he? And he still wants that sardine shop I told him about? That idiot…" She growled, having no choice but to follow the sardine addicted leader of the Prinnies. She walked next to him, does he ever do this with Artina when she was human? Of course, they were very close when long ago, if he kept that promise for so many years. She felt down, it wasn't right to put herself in the middle of their long relationship.
It reminded her of that time when Valvatorez noticed her sighing, she wanted a little bit of attention from him and during that conversation she was about to pursue Valvatorez but there was Fenrich and Artina, also the friendship rule, No stealing of someone's precious person, so she gave up. She chuckled, he was quite an idiot, but then again, why did her feelings start getting rather…weird around him? It was a crush, she admired him, nothing more, a crush is simply where you admire someone and wish that you could meet a person who is your true love like him. So would that mean, she would like a person like Valvatorez? She giggled, a person who was addicted to keeping promises and eating sardines? Sometimes, she doesn't understand her feelings sometimes.
She looked up to find herself in the middle of a crowd with Valvatorez's grip on her hand loosen. He pulled away from her hand, she unconsciously grabbed his arm and held it closely which made Valvatorez look at her in shock, she looked twice as shock. Why did she just grabbed his arm like that? Agh! All this thinking is giving her a headache, she heard him chuckle making her frown.
"What are you laughing at? You sardine freak?" She growled, if only they weren't in the human world or in this crowd she would have pummeled him for death. No one makes fun of Fuka Kazamatsuri and gets away with it!
Valvatorez shook his head, still chuckling. "I apologize, but you look like a lost child. Lass…It's quite cute." He still chuckled, if she wasn't embarrassed she would have punched his shoulder!
Her cheeks dusted red, "Wh-Who are you calling cute?! I don't mind people call me that but from you…I…I…" Her grip on his arm tightened, as they both left the crowd. "I-I will not allow it!" She stuttered, he chuckled again making her frown even deeper, why does he always laugh at her? Just watch, she'll murder this demon…he'll murder him.
"Excuse me! You two!" A young woman with soft short brown hair wearing glasses walked forward, holding her hand out with a clipboard on her free hand. They both paused as the woman walked over to them in her heels, she gave a smile. "May I ask if you could possibly fill for our models? They called in sick and we need two models for our wedding shot…I noticed the two of you and I figured you might be perfect for the role! Could you possibly…"
Fuka's eyes widened, "We-Wedding?! M-Me? And Valzy?" She felt her face heating up. My gosh! What was going on these days?! She knew Artina should have been his partner instead of her…it's more better since they have a closer relationship than her!
Valvatorez pondered, "Alright! We shall help you!" He stated with pride, Fuka blinked then turned to him. "Hah?! We are?!" She started but he looked at her, silencing her protest. He leaned in to her ear and whispered, "A wedding is a union before God, if we do this. Then we could achieve more followers for the archangel."
Okay, she thought he wasn't that dense…but he's REALLY dense. Suddenly the woman clapped her hands, "Perfect! Come! Follow me!" She pulled them both inside the building, Fuka blushed. She will REALLY die today if Fenfen found out…

Fuka stared at herself, was that her? It was a long time dream to be dressed in this sort of outfit! She twirled around, she was wearing a really long white dress with a see-though cloth around her waist that sparkled, a silk sash was tied into a ribbon that had a flower on the side, she wore silk gloves with a gold bracelet around her wrist, a diamond necklace around her neck with matching hanging earrings, her hair was flowing down like an inky waterfall that softly curled in the end, a gold tiara was on her head with a long veil attached to her tiara. She wore pink lipstick, some eyeshadow, mascara, and pink blush.
She blinked, a woman handed her a bouquet of white flowers. "Here you are Miss, I might say. Your boyfriend must be really lucky to have a beautiful girl such as yourself, you look like an actual princess." She smiled. Fuka felt fluttery at that comment.
"Th-Thank you…" She blushed, she took the hand that the woman extended as she was led out of her dressing room and towards the area where the photo was being shot.
There she spotted Valvatorez talking with a man holding the camera, he was dressed in a white tuxedo with a purple rose on the side of his shirt with a matching ribbon around his collar, she felt her blush rising up at the sight of him. He actually looks like a Prince, but he is kinda an ex. Tyrant but he really does look a Prince. He turned and noticed Fuka looking at him, his eyes widened, was that Fuka? She looked like an exactly different person, she looked more mature and adult like.
She stepped forward, "Wh-What do you think? Matching on me right? I am so be-befitting for this role, after all." She closed her eyes with a smile but her eyebrow was twitching, "Be-Being your future master, I must look n-nice." Her cheeks turned even red.
He blinked then smiled, "Yes you do, Lass. But I think I'm not fitting in white colors…" He looked at his own outfit,
Her eyes widened, "No!" She paused, "I-I mean, ahem, no, you look really handsome V-Valzy! Artina might fall for you even more!" She quickly reasoned, hiding her blush in her bouquet. He touched her tiara, "You do look like an adult."
Her eyes lit, "Really?" A smile was on her face, "I'm happy." He paused, staring at her smile.
The cameraman waved his hand, "Alright! Positions! Mr. Valvatorez, please show your girlfriend what I told you." He gestured to the area where they have to stand.
Valvatorez extended out his hand, "Now, follow my lead. My Princess." He bowed, Fuka grinned. "Of course, my King." She held his hand as he led her to the area where they would have to pose.
Fuka sat down on the chair with Valvatorez standing right next to her, she held the bouquet and was told to lean next to him which she did. The man started to take pictures of both of them, the brunette used this time to ponder about what was happening.
She had always dreamed to be a model for some wedding shot, but with Valvatorez? She didn't expect that. Some handsome person, yes, but Valzy? If Fenrich saw this, damn, he'll be pretty pissed, plus Artina! She's the one supposed to be in this pure white dress with Valvatorez and not her! They were meant for each other after all! Besides, the friendship rule was rather powerful and breaking it was not her style.
Oh great, she sounds like Adell now.
Speaking of Adell, why doesn't Valvatorez act all mature love with Artina? She knew different types of love, Mature love is something befitting for them both, they don't need to say words to each other but they stare at each other that practically shouts the words. She saw it once between the two, she remembered that strange stirring in her chest when she saw that glances, but then, it started to disappear for some reason. Does she have to step up and think of situations between the two?
Then again, that strange feeling would bother her. No, it wasn't jealousy, hell no. Why in the world would she be jealous? That's just stupid! No way she would be jealous of Artina. No, no! She only has a small crush! It's tiny! A speck! God darn it! Is she blushing?! Stupid cheeks why do you hate her so?
"Miss Kazamatsuri! Please relax, you are doing fine!" The cameraman waved, snapping Fuka out of her thoughts. She stiffened and nodded her head in agreement and started calm down by thinking of thoughts. Candies, cakes, flowers, happiness, rainbows, me taking over the Netherworld, eating ice cream…going shopping…going on a date…The image of her and Valvatorez holding hands and happily smiling popped into her head.
She started to fume, steam literally came out of her head as she buried herself in the flowers. Valvatorez took note of this and leaned down, "Lass? Are you alright? No need to be embarrassed, you look fine in your outfit." He smiled, "Besides, if you would run the Netherworld. Then maybe you would have a lot of followers, you are rather nice."
The brunette looked up, "You think so?" Her eyes sparkled, he laughed. "Of course, I lived for so many years and I've never met a bubbly girl such as yourself. You could rule the Netherworld with one arm."
She giggled, "I don't think so. People would bow down that the sight of me." She grinned with her eyes closed, looking up at Valvatorez. "Being a ruler and all, if actually took over. First thing to do is to redecorate! I mean the colors, it's so boring! Needs more frills and pink!"
The flash caught their attention, "That was perfect! You two are really perfect for being a married couple! This picture is perfect for our advertisement, you can really see the interaction and feelings in the picture! Please do continue talking!"
So they did, they started chatting about different topics, about Valvatorez as a tyrant, herself when she was 'out of her dream' (Or so she says), and basically their whole lives. He learned that she had two best friends in her school and that she had good marks on her grades despite her happy-go-lucky attitude, and that her mother died when she was only a child. She learned more about him, before he met Artina, how he became a tyrant, and other topics.
"That was perfect!" He clapped,
They blinked, the cameraman posed the camera once more. "Now would you two please kiss?"
Now this made both Fuka and even Valvatorez turn red in embarrassment, "Wha-wha-what? K-Ki-Kiss?!" Fuka stuttered, steam was literally coming out of her head as her face turned darker than a tomato. Valvatorez covered his mouth in embarrassment, his ears were literally burning red as they both glanced at each other only to gasp and look away quickly.
"Embarrassed? You two are such an innocent couple." He laughed, "No worries, just lean in real closely so it would look like it's a near kiss."
Fuka wanted to die on the spot. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, is it getting hot? She will be somewhat kissing Valvatorez? Oh! Oh! She will surely die. She just knew it, she will surely die.
"L-Lass…Look at me…"
Fuka turned her head to see Valvatorez looking determined, she turned red. "I-It's only a near kiss right? Like it's about to?" She looked at the cameraman who looked pretty amused, even everyone around looked amused.
"Yes, yes! Now start!"
They both gulped, she looked at Valvatorez with a small cute pout. "Cl-close your eyes okay?" She looked away embarrassed,
He nodded his head, he started to lean in closing his eyes. Fuka looked at him, her cheeks turning red as she leaned in as well, her eyebrow twitching. Her heart is pounding so much she just wanted to make it stop! Valzy might hear it! She clutched her chest, feeling his breath near her lips, she started to relax thinking that only a few seconds til this embarrassing time might end. She heard footsteps behind Valvatorez.
"Here is the extra-agh!" A woman tripped on a wire, and fell to the floor…
…where she accidently pushed Valvatorez to Fuka where their lips crashed together, the man took this chance to take the photo. In a matter of seconds, they both pulled away in complete and utter shock, Fuka's heart started to pound widely as she touched her lips. She just kissed Valvatorez.
She just kissed Valvatorez. Her first kiss was stolen by a sardine loving ex. Tyrant! A person who has a, somewhat, lover! Valvatorez was embarrassed as well, this time, his cheeks were red as her as he touched his own lips with his gloved hand.
"That was perfect! Please change back to your clothing, after your done, we'll give you your pictures." He waved them with a grin,
She blinked once. Then twice. Then Thirce. Trying to digest what in Hades just happened.
Fuka stood up and quickly ran away with a red face, touching her lips as she went. Her emotions ran wild as she ran, she entered the dressing room where she closed the door and sunk down to the floor. She touched her lips again, "Wh…Why do I feel…so happy? What is wrong with me today? I'm acting Out of Character!" She held the bouquet.
It felt so…warm and soft. She could still feel it, that softness on her own lips. She slapped her cheeks, "What is going on?!"

Fuka came out dressed in an entirely different outfit, apparently, as a token of appreciation, they gave her free clothes to have. They all chose it for her, it still remained her usual colors, blue, white, and yellow, she wore a navy blue frilled skirt, a white blouse, with a navy blue jacket, a yellow ribbon tied below her chest, with a yellow chocker around her neck, they managed to make a Prinny themed small hat on the side of her head with a small white veil along with it. She looked at her heels, they were light brown, like her school shoes.
They made her wear make as well, mascara, eyeliner, pink lip-gloss, blush, and eyeshadow. She looked like a cute model out for a date with her boyfriend…which they were planning from the start.
"You need to match your boyfriend! He had no need to change but you need to look absolutely gorgeous, Miss Kazamatsuri." One of the woman fastened a hanging diamond earring on her lobes with matching necklace that had the initial of V on it, followed by a ruby ring on her left middle finger. The woman giggled, "We have your boyfriend the same necklace such as yourself but it as the letter F. You have V, it stands for Valvatorez, while he has F, which starts for Fuka."
She blushed, "Yo-You don't need to do this all for me…" She trailed away,
The woman shook her head, "Nonsense! Come, come! Don't let your handsome boyfriend keep you waiting! I'm quite jealous, he's rather a handsome fellow." She snickered as she was pulled to the main area where Valvatorez was waiting in his casual outfit.
An awkward silence filled the whole room, some people around could feel the awkward for some reason.
Fuka looked at him with a red-faced, the kiss was still on her mind. She mentally slapped herself, Calm down Fuka. Pretend you forgot about it. Pretend. "So!" She started, breaking the silence. "How do I look? They decided to give me free clothes! I feel bad though…bu-but they decided it!"
The room was silence again, she fidgeted. God, it was really awkward.
He scratched his head, "I-It is there decision…" He trailed away,
…
Awkward.
The cameraman came up to them with a box, "Here, we put your photos in this box with the picture frame. We chose out the design, thank you for helping us."
Fuka gave an awkward smile, "N-No problem! Let's go? Va-Valzy?"
He nodded his head, "Yes…Uh…Lass.." They both walked out of the building while waving to the people.
The brunette held the box in her hands as they continued down the sidewalk, awkward silence once again greeted them with open arms. Fuka felt so conscious with all the people watching at them with amazement, she could hear the comments on how they looked like two idols dating. She blushed, "So…uh…don't tell Fenfen and Artina?" She started again, but it sounded more like a question than a demand.
"Don't tell them what?" He looked at her, she frowned.
She turned red, "Yo-You know! That we were models for a wedding shoot and that we…uh…accidently ki-ki-kissed." She turned red by the second, Valvatorez looked away, his cheeks turning pink as well.
"Oh..uh..al-alright."
She looked at him, "Why are you so embarrassed? I mean, I have a reason to! I bet you kiss Artina lots of times! While me…I never did got kissed by a person I liked. This was my first kiss and I got stolen by someone who didn't love me! What a waste, now my maiden dreams a crushed." She sighed, "It must be nice, being kissed by someone who wants to kiss you and meant it with all their heart. But I bet that won't happen. No one would like a dead girl, right? If I do reincarnate, then I would forget who I was before…I never did accomplish all my goals. Taking over the world was part of it but also, spend a day with someone I love. It wouldn't work now since then, I would disappear and if I reincarnate back, I won't have memories…" Her eyes glanced down, her grip on the box tightened and Valvatorez noticed it. "N-Not that I accepted I died or anything! This is still a dream! By not remembering I mean that I…I…I won't remember the person that I fell in love in my dream!" She quickly reasoned, staring at Valvatorez. "I didn't accept I died just yet! The promise is still on!"
He chuckled, "You do know how to make something rather awkward disappear, Lass."
She pouted, "You've been chuckling a lot, Valzy. Seriously, it's getting in my nerves!" She barked,
"Where is the sardine shop you told me about?" He looked around, his face serious. "I lack sardines right now."
She rolled her eyes, "Oh jeez. Here we go again! Just follow me." Fuka grabbed his hand and pulled him along, he looked excited at the thought of eating the sardines again.
"…Hey, isn't that Fuka? Yuki, I think I saw Fuka." A short blond haired girl looked at the pair who was walking, A girl with charcoal hair raised an eyebrow, "Fuka? She's dead, Rin, remember?"
Rin frowned, "But seriously. I think I saw Fuka."
Yuki pushed her glasses up, "Maybe she's wandering around as a ghost. You know she wanted to take over the world." She chuckled, Rin smiled. "I guess so. Let's go visit her grave again." They both walked down the sidewalk, towards the flower shop. She fist-pumped.
"Alright! What are best friends for?"

Author's Note: That concludes chapter three! I think I'm making them a bit too OOC, ugh, I haven't played Disgaea 4 yet and I don't want to spoil myself. Plus I don't want to be sad that Valtina is canon, ValFuka is my OTP.
You know, I actually thought Artina was a little sister or mother or the one who adopted Valvatorez when he was young when I saw the opening, then she turned into an Angel. Also, I saw Fuka and I was like…'ARE THEY GOING TO BE A CANON COUPLE? YAY. FIRST HUMAN AND DEMON RELATIONSHIP FOR THE MAIN CHARACTERS!' *finds out Valtina* Why dis. I thought ValFuka gosh darn it! Oh well! More headcanons for me to make!
Plus, I'm happy Chou Nikko is making so much ValFuka-ness for me to read happily.
