I take constructive criticisms. They don't really hurt me.
Hikaru's fingers gently traced the surface of the assignment sheet that belonged to them. Ryuga glanced over at her, then down at the sheet.
"So what are we doing?" He asked.
She shrugged, but flipped open the folder's left edge.
Written in Ryu's messy caligraphy were these words. Hikaru read aloud:
"Your assignment, if you if you accept it, and you had better (What do ya think I'm payin' ya for?!) is to infiltrate the innermost workings of the female mind. I need a date.
Sincerely your's,
The most wonderful of creatures, the beauty found in ashes,
forever reborn,
The grand, almighty Pheonix."
"He's kidding, right?" Ryuga asked.
Hikaru shook her head. "I'm not so sure he is."
"Well, what are we suppose to do about this?"
"I have no clue."
"Maybe we can call and ask."
"Yeah, trust me, that'll only get you more confused. No. We need to do this without any help from within. We need to go to a date-finding place."
"You've got to be kidding me! How we gonna get in?"
"I think we pay the entrance fee. No biggie."
"Do we have any money?"
"No, but-."
"Then, yeah, I think it's a 'biggie'."
"Stop the car."
When the car continued, Hikaru leaned down, and hit the palm of her hand onto the breaks. The car came to a screeching halt.
"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN US KILLED!"
"We're going the wrong way," she said calmly, like she was reading a book aloud.
Ryuga exhaled in anger. "Just do me a favor, and DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN."
"Well, I'm sorry, but you were going he wrong way."
He shook his head in frustration. "How do you even know were a dating parlor is anyway?"
She held a hand up, showing the map she was holding. "Feeling like an idiot, now, Dragon emperor?"
"Yeah. So glad that you brought it up. Thank you, just ever so much."
They continued in silence until they came to a fork in the road. "Go left," Hikaru said.
Ryuga steered onto the left road.
"So what's the stupidest thing you've ever done?" He asked.
"I'm not telling you."
"Aw, come on. Why not?"
"Because I don't like , the sooner this thing is done, the sooner we can go back to our old lives'. You being a free criminal done with his community service, and me; a WBBA agent. It's what we do best."
A few more minutes of silence, and then, "Oh, turn here."
Ryuga pulled the car to the a large parking lot full of cars. He found a space, and cut the ignition. They got out of the car.
"Oh, this is gonna be fun." he said.
"Yeah, a real hoot. Just wait here for ten minutes, then come on in after that."
"Why do I gotta wait? Why can't you wait, and I'll go?"
"Because I'm the lady."
"Really? That's not what I'm looking at! I'm looking at an overgrown poodle that thinks that she should be the leader, just because she's bossy."
"That's not at all why, and you know it!"
"Then why can't we go in together?"
"Because if we go in together, and we were in the same car, people will think that we are dating. And dating parlors are for single people."
"Fine, go right ahead, Miss." he said through gritted teeth.
"Thank you so much, Good sir," she responded in much the same manner.
She went inside, and in ten minutes' time a sulking figure followed her.
Did you like the fight scenes? The Ryu part? Anyway, you guys can tell me how you're doing. I love hearing from you. Thank you for reading this.
