Div: Lol I'm writing on a plane! I feel sick-ish
Kazune: Girls are so sensitive.
Karin: Not again! Just shut up Kazune-kun! The girl is still trying her best to write this chapter for everyone
Div: I think I'm gonna puke..
Kazune: NOT ON ME!
Karin: *rolls her eyes* What a sissy
Kazune: Just get on with the chapter already.
Div: *WARNING: Kazune will be a bit perverted in this chapter.
Kazune: O.O WHAT?
"A d-date?" Kazune asked very surprised and embarrassed.
"Yeah why not? Well, it will just be like two friends hanging out," Karin explained, "That is... If you don't want to go? It's okay if you don't want to.. I can just make you my personal servant for the week."
Karin grinned playfully at the last sentence, it was meant as a threat and a bribe, in a way.
Kazune scoffed and replied, "Like I would agree to being your personal slave!"
"Yay! Then it's a date!" Karin exclaimed gleefully.
She jumped up and skipped away, 'I can't believe I got a date with Kazune-kun~ I'm so happy!'
Confused Kazune thought, 'What have I gotten myself into...?
Karin paced in her room in distress.
"What have I gotten myself into Shii-chan?!" Karin exclaimed as she threw her hands up in the air.
Shii-chan (Nyake/Nike) sweatdropped as she sat on her bed, "A-re? Karin-chan aren't you the one that suggested the idea?"
"Yes! I did," she admitted before falling into her bed, "I don't know what I was thinking!
Her cheeks were as red as cherries, while her heart beat a million miles per second. She grabbed her pillow and covered her face with it
"I'm so nervous! I don't know what to do! Or what to say! I don't even know what to wear," she confessed, she lowers the pillow, "Help me Shii-chan! I don't know what to do!
"Alright Karin-chan! I'll help you," she sweatdropped, "Just calm down. It will be fine."
Karin starts to tear up, "What if I mess up?"Shii-chan let out a sigh, Karin was really over thinking things. It was cute in a way, but on the other hand it was a pain because of all the unnecessary things she was thinking. She really wanted things to go well, but knowing these two there would be some bumps along the way. But it would always end happily.
Shii-chan patted Karin's head soothingly, "Karin-chan. It will be fine. Everything will be fine. Don't think too much. I'm sure you it will go great! ~nya!"
"But.." Karin trailed off.
She had so many doubts and worries about today. The idea of going on a date with him seemed like a great idea at the time, but now it seemed pretty selfish. She didn't even consider his feelings about the situation and the thought of him hating the idea bothered the heck out of her distress Shii-chan gave a suggestion that would hopefully take her mind off things, "Come let's go choose something for you to wear."
Karin's eyes momentarily brightened up. The thought of dressing up lifted her spirits.
"So do you have anything in mind?" Shii-chan asked as she watched Karin rummage through her giant pink wardrobe.
"Hm.. Anno... Let me see.. Yatta! I found it!" She smiled brightly when she spotted the dress.
She carefully took out the soft fabric and brought it to her body to show Shii-chan how it looked on her.
"How's this?" She asked intently.
Shii-chan's opinion was critical at this point. She thought this dress was perfect for the event but she couldn't rely on her opinion solely."It's perfect!" Her eyes shined with approval, "Kazune will love it!"
Karin's cheeks reddened at the sound of her crush's name. The thought of him seeing her in this dress made her even more fidgety.
She really wanted him to like it. Or to like her, at least. Karin's daydreams were full of what if's. What if he liked her back? What would happen then?
Her cheeks reddened even more thinking about him liking her back made her feel like she had won a life time supply of eel bread. She was so in love and she hoped he was too.
Himeka sat on Kazune's bed in a lady-like position being careful not to show anything 'unnecessary' to the distressed blonde in front of her.
She fidgeted slightly, as Kazune started at he intensely.
"Himeka..." He left her name hanging from his lips.
*B-dmp B-dmp*
Himeka could feel her heart speeding up.
"What do guys do on date's?" Kazune asked making it come out a bit shy and naïve-like.
She heaved a silent sigh of relief and smiled at him sweetly.
"Well I know they open doors for the girl and hold out chairs for them to sit on. And they act very kind and gentlemanly," Himeka started huffed, "That won't be easy. Karin isn't that much of a girl."
A bit confused about the sudden mention of Karin left her a bit puzzled. The black-haired beauty sighed, "You should really stop bullying her Kazune-chan. You know all too well how much of a girl she really is, don't you?"
The memory of what had happened that day Karin demanded for a date replayed in his head. The image of his hand touching... So soft...
"OH GOD NO!" Kazune burst out as he fell off the bed.
"Kazune-chan!" Himeka exclaimed as she looked over the side of the bed, "Daijoubu?"
Kazune lay on the floor with a deep scarlet covering his face. He huffed, and cursed himself for thinking of the feeling of her in his hands. He felt so dirty and disgusted with himself.
"I can't believe I could be such a pervert.." he muttered out of nowhere as he ran his fingers through his blond locks.
Himeka looked at him completely confused. Kazune looked very conflicted with himself and she was reluctant to admit that she really wanted to know why he suddenly asked her about what guy do on dates.
After helping him up she decided to proceed by asking him the million dollar question.
"Kazune-chan.. Why are you asking about all of this?"
The boy looked into his cousin's big brown eyes that pleaded him for a straight answer. He didn't want to lie to her. So he decided to just leave out the part of who he was going with.
"Uhh.. I'm going on one today.." he trailed like someone had just punched her heart she said, "Oh.."
"Yeah.." Kazune responded feeling the tense and awkward atmosphere.
Kazune wondered why they were like this. They were never awkward with each other. They've been with one another for their whole lives! This situation left a big impression in his mind. What is going on with her?
Just when he thought about breaking the silence the ringing phone beat him to it
Suddenly the sound of a distant ring broke the silence.
"I better go answer that," she mumbled before getting up and walking out the door.
Kazune was left sitting in his room alone and not knowing what to do when someone decided to knock loudly on his window pane.
"Who in the heck-?" Kazune muttered as he pushed back his navy blue curtains, "Nishikori?"
"Hey Kazune-kun!" Micchi saluted and stepped into his blond friend's room.
"What are you doing here?" Kazune asked.
"I heard about your date," he grinned as he wiggled his eyebrows, "with Hanazono-san."
The sun god blushed, "How did you find out about that?!"
Micchi smiled as he walked around his friend's room, "It wasn't that hard since you announced it in the courtyard. I was there you know, I saw everything," he emphasized the last word and grinned before continuing, "I saw that moment when you were feeling her up in public."
Kazune felt his temperature rise, as well as his temper, "SHUT UP NISHIKORI! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
Before Micchi could protest Kazune shoved him out of his room and slammed the door in the older teen's face.
Heaving heavily Kazune grumpily walked back to his desk when he heard a whining coming from the other side of the door.
Micchi knocked desperately on the white door, "Kazune-kun? I'm sorryyyyy. Please forgive me!"
Kazune rolled his eyes on the other side, "Liar. I'm not opening the door for annoying people."
"Hidoii! How mean Kazune-kun! That hurt you know," the red-head feigned hurt as he put a hand over his heart.
"I mean it, now go. Get out. I can easily sue you if you don't." Kazune threatened.
"Your really no fun Kazune-kun. I guess I'll just leave and take my dating advice with me," he chided before pretending to make fake footsteps.
There was a pregnant pause before Micchi heard Kazune's response.
"Wait a second Nishikori," Kazune said hesitantly. Micchi had offered him advice, dating advice. He was desperate and needed all the help he could get.
"Get in." Micchi smiled as his younger companion who ushered him in.
"I knew you would change your mind," Micchi flopped on to Kazune's chair and stretched out his fingers before putting them neatly in his lap, "Now. Whadda ya need to know?"
It was finally time for the date and Kazune had just finished stopping by at the flower shop. He arugued with himself the whole time he was walking there. He fiddled with his jean pockets thinking how unusual his behavior was during the hours before he and Karin's scheduled date.
He could barely stand the awkward silence between them at breakfast and when he had caught her in his arms before she tripped on the stairs. He couldn't get e feeling of her in his arms when he held her like that. When she did something stupid, instead of snapping at her he would just pat her head and say it was okay. He constantly caught himself looking at her bedroom door each time he passed it.
He was getting creeped out. Was he becoming a pervert?! Or was it something else entirely?
"Keep my advice in mind, is what he said," Kazune grumbled to himself as he held a bouquet of pink and white roses and groaned, "But why flowers?! They're bug magnets!"
He threw his hands in the air whilst bumping into a stranger and accidentally letting them go. He caught them in time before letting them fall to their death, "Shit. That was close," he sighed in relief.
"Oi. Kuyjou," a familiar voice snapped, Kazune glimpsed two pairs of black supras in front of his nose.
"Kuga. What are you doing here?" Kazune asked bitterly.
Jin smirked and shoved his hands in his pockets, "I was just out for a stroll in town, why? Is that a problem for you?"
"Yeah it is," Kazune answered bluntly, "Since you decide to carelessly parade around in your dark 'badass' sunglasses without giving a care about who or what you're bumping into."
"Ohh touchy aren't we Kuyjou," he teased but his expression changed when he saw the blonde's outfit, "Why the fancy get up?"
"I'm going somewhere. It's none of your concern Kuga." Kazune answered.
"Oh with who? That chick with the quiet voice?" Jin prodded.
"She's my cousin idiot." The bushes near them shuffled, but the two boys shrugged it off.
The idol lifted his hands in defence, "Sorry man. No need to be so snappy!"
Kazune rolled his eyes and walked away, leaving the boy hanging.
Unsatisfied Jin shouted, "Fine! Be that way! Brat.." He muttered the last part under his breath.
'What unfortunate girl would be going on a date with him?' Jin thought, 'I wanna see this for myself.'
With that he got up and followed, when he suddenly felt a strong vibration in his left pocket.
He sighed, "Hello? Jin Kuga speaking."
Micchi's loud and energetic voice answered on the other line, "Kuga-san!"
Jin groaned inwardly. How did this guy get his phone number?!
"What is it Nishikori-san?" The idol asked uninterested. He had better things to do, like follow Kazune on his date with some unfortunate woman.
"You really want to know?" Micchi squealed into the phone with delight.
"Whatever, I don't really care. Just tell me already!" Jin snapped as he frantically watched Kazune's back getting further and further from him.
"Kazune-kun and Hanazono-san are going on a date! I'm so excited for them! It took her long enough, now she can finally confess to him!" The red-head practically shrieked into the speaker, nearly rendering Jin to deaf.
"Kuyjou with my goddess... ON A DATE?!"
"Yeah. That's what I just said. Isn't it just wonderful-"
Jin started speed walking to try to catch up to the little blond bastard while hanging up on Micchi in the process. 'Ha! He thinks he can just go on a friendly date with Karin after hurting her? NO WAY IN HELL! What is she thinking?!'
"Where did she say we'd meet again?" Kazune muttered to himself as Jin hid behind a bush observing him.
He continued to walk further down the street and into town square where he spotted Kazune talking to his date in front of the fountain, Jin followed him closely behind.
He watched as she hugged him with her arms around his neck. Karin wore a frilly pale yellow sundress that reached a few inches above her knees and Jin could see a dandelion shaped bag slung over her arm, small yellow wedges adorned her dainty feet.
Kazune clearly in shock at the hug, unconsciously let his hand rest on her milky cream colored skin, while his other dropped the bouquet in the fountain unknowingly.
The idol could see the curves of her legs and couldn't help but stare. 'Damn. I didn't know I could get so turned on by just seeing her legs..'
Finally she pulled away from Kazune and Jin realized that he had made a big mistake. Karin didn't wear yellow, and she didn't have auburn hair.
That beautiful girl sitting with Kazune wasn't Karin. It was someone else entirely.
