Chapter 3: The Third Day of Kagura
The World is full of many surprises for all life to experience even if it's only the little things that matter. This being one of them as you... Yes, YOU! Here you find yourself sitting in the living room waiting for your... "I'm sorry for the wait!" Your Girlfriend! Seeing her coming down the steps from her home felt like you were in one of those sit coms on TV! Your eyes saw that she wore a grey peacoat with a wool hat. Her skirt was just above her knees while wearing a pair of pantyhoes with boots. "Hope I didn't take too long." Ikaruga... Your Senpai at Hanzo Academy and the most beautiful girl in the world!
... ... ...
"Really? Oh that's just wonderful!" She cheered before attaching to your arm. "Shall we enjoy our day?" The both of you went out to see people walking back and forth in the light snow while chatting. "So many people today..."
... ... ...
"True. Christmas is quite a magical year for many..." Why did she sound... Sad?
... ... ...?
"Uh! Yes! Please don't worry about it!" She held onto what seemed like a fake smile on her face. There was this very empty feeling that you could sense surrounding the beautiful girl. "Oh, let's get something to eat." You were hungry... Come to think of it you think back that you actually haven't eaten all day!
... ... ...
"A cafe sounds splendid." Ikaruga commented with a clap of her hands. "I know one that serves really delicious food near us! Let's go!" The beautiful girl grabbed you by the hand before pulling you in town. The walk to the cafe was beautiful due to the light snow and multi colored lights shining brightly in the night.
... ... ...
"...Huh? Sorry, did you say something?" Ikaruga... What's wrong? Christmas was known as the most happiest time for everyone in the world, but it seems that there was something bothering your girlfriend more than you thought. "Sorry, I was just in deep thought for a moment."
... ... ...?
"Y-Yes! I'm okay, really!" That was lie. Something was bothering her... Something deep. You knew you shouldn't ask but now it's your mission to give her the best Christmas ever! As the both of you headed inside the cafe to see it sorta packed with couples and family. Taking a place by the window seemed like the best place for the night as it gave a gorgeous view of the city. "The place is quite cheerful today. Well, that's silly of me to say due to the fact it's Christmas."
You chuckled at this to then seeing the waitress walking up to your table. "Welcome! How can I help you today?"
... ... ...
"I'll have some green tea please."
"Coming right up!" It took some time but your drinks came at a moments notice. "Enjoy!" The waitress left the table leaving the both of you were left alone in an awkward silence... SAY SOMETHING YOU IDIOT!
"Thank you." Nevermind... Ikaruga looked at you with her eyes down at her drink as she was stirring it lightly. "I mainly spend Christmas with my friends these days, so I'm very new to this."
...!
"You too? That's put some ease on my shoulders."
... ... ...
"I see. That must been a handful living out here... Do you call your family though?"
... ... ...
"That's good to hear." She smiled brightly. "You're mother is an incredible woman having to deal with so much on her hands during the seasons."
... ... ...
"M-Me? Incredible? Thank you!" A faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "I'm called incredible by everyone in the school, but to hear it from you makes me feel embarassed."
... ... ...
"Thank you."
"You're food is ready!" The waitress came back with hot drinks and hot food. "Please enjoy." The dish you had was meat and potato curry while a nice cup of coffee was on your right.
"Funny, I didn't really expect you to be a coffee person." Ikaruga-senpai started to which to were confused. "You seemed more like a really sweet soda person."
... ... ...
"Well, that it true. Like eating ice cream in a blizzard... That is too abnormal."
... ... ...
"True. There are times Katsuragi-san will eat a bowl of hot ramen when it's summer." She laughed remembering how many times that she passed out due to such massive happening in her body and out. "We had to rush her to the emergency room, but she still ate ramen."
... ... ...
"She can be quite a handful. Not to mention the others... Honestly, it feels like they're nothing but children."
... ... ...?
"Afraid so. I must be strict with them everyday or else they'll lose sight of what's in front of them." You couldn't help but laugh at this. Knowing now that she has to deal so many trivial things with her classmates.
... ... ...!
"A-A MOTHER?!" Senpai started to shake as some of the green tea was spilling tiny droptlets onto the table. "I-I-I don't think I would do g-good as a m-m-mother! Thank you, though!" You could see that she was brighter than any other light that decorated the town with steam coming out of her head. The cool and collected 3rd year having such an adorable side of her was quite the most amazing part of her.
It took time for her to calm down, but it was fun nonetheless. "Thank you for stopping by!" The staff waved the both of you off into the cold once again. The time you spent together was magical beyond words. The walk through town was the best part of it, seeing the lights and checking out the Christmas trees around. Some people were handing out little packs of cookies as gifts too!
After all that, the both of you found each other alone in the park enjoying the moment. "What a day." She sighed happily. "I never thought a Christmas date would be so much fun."
... ... ...
"No... Thank you. Thank you for everything." She leaned on your shoulder which was a surprise for her. "I'm sorry... I wanted to try this..."
... ... ...
"Thank you again." She closed her eyes loving the warm sensation. "Everyday is a new adventure... And every minute is a gift... I treasure every moment when I'm with everyone. Back then, it wasn't all like this. I came from a distant branch in my family... They named me heir because my older brother lacked potential, so they named me as heir when they found me."
... ... ...?
"Not many people know this. As time passed my brother began to hate me. He hated me for everything and I could never blame him." Her eyes were filled with guilt, sadness and hatred. "But then, it's like a miracle happened and my brother started to open up to me. It felt like we were a family."
... ... ...
"Yes, we were happy. I felt like I finally belonged in his life... And now, I'm happy once again." You felt her hand slowly and gently clutching yours while feeling how warm she was. "Cause I have you here with me and I want to be with you... Forever!" She stood up from the spot taking a few steps not looking your way. "I'm going to do something. Never blink and don't even look away... I want you to see everything. Who I really am." She had her hands behind her back as the gentle wind blew through her hair.
You heard the sound of a mighty screech seeing her spin around with a smile, now holding a scroll. "SHINOBI... TRANSFORMATION!" You saw being engulfed a blue flame before a mighty Phoenix appeared before you, screeching loudly. Seeing Ikaruga now completely naked until the Phoenix soared down to her body as a pair of new clothes took form. A white jacket with gold trim with a blue arm band of the school logo! In her arms she wielded a blade... A katana that had held the power of the Phoenix. "This is who I am... I'm a Shinobi..."
... ... ...?!
"A Shinobi... This is the biggest secret guarded for thousands of years."
... ... ...?!
"Because I trust you... No." She walked close to you with that same smile. "I love you. I love you so much that I don't want you in dark of what I do." Her hands were still the same, her eyes, hair and voice. "There will be a day I won't come back, but I want you to know more than any- AAGHHH!"
You stopped her from speaking anymore. Hugging her tightly, never wanting to be seperate ever again.
...! ...! ...!
"I love you too." The two of you didn't hold back as you kissed each other. You saw her tears falling from her closed eyes when you stopped. "I'm sorry, I'm just so happy." She wiped her eyes away. "No matter, let's enjoy the present. I'm ready for the future and I know I'm not alone."
That night was a night you will never forget...
EPILOUGE
The day was short... Well it felt short. The office was super busy today, so maybe that's why the day went by fast. In any case, it was finally time to head home. "Welcome home, sir." Men in suits bowed to you as you entered your home, one opening the door for you.
"Busy day. Please relax, sir."
Entering it was great as you started to hear footsteps coming from around the corner. "Dear? Are you home?" Out of the room appeared the wife, the one true love in your life. Ikaruga-senpai. "Welcome home." She kissed you on the cheek before taking your suitcase. "Sorry, I was busy with dinner that I didn't check the time." She placed your suitcase on the coffee table before giving her gentle smile. "I'm guessing my brother was putting a lot on your shoulders?" You nodded with a sigh. "Don't worry about it. Shall we eat?"
The meal was delicious as always! There's nothing better than a homecooked meal from such a beautiful woman! It was even tastier because this is your Wife's cooking! "Are you full?" She asked before piling the dirty dishes. "Dear, I wanted to tell you something... I have wonderful news." Senpai placed her hands in her pocket, not before turning away. "Close your eyes."
You did as you were told while covering your eyes. What in the world did she have in store for you? It couldn't be anything lewd! Senpai hates lewd things! Although it would be nice to see her half naked waiting for you to come home... That would so awesome! "Open!" Snapping out of your fantasies to see her holding something in her hands... A pregnancy test! "We're going to be a real family now!"
The tears didn't stop coming as you held her tightly. This was a dream come true... "Let's do our best, My Love." You kissed her again before saying the words she wanted to hear. "I love you too... Forever and ever." This was true happiness.
