Going on a Date in Little Garden
Shadow is putting on his school uniform shirt while sitting on the hospital bed, he's getting discharged from the hospital as he is already healed up from the tag duel yesterday and it was the experience he will never forget now realizing how tough these Slayers are, especially against the Savages. He even thought to himself of why he wasn't sent here a long time ago.
"Hey Shadow, being an early bird, I see?" Rouge asked, waking up from her sleep in Shadow's bed and covering her naked body in the bedsheet.
"Well, my body is feeling better from the fight and you keeping me company, of course." Shadow smirked, leans to Rouge giving her a quick kiss as she kisses him back.
"Man, last night was wild maybe more than usual hopefully we'll be able to do more." Rouge hoped as she wraps her arms around Shadow's neck from behind.
"Maybe we will in my room next time." Shadow said
"Hey, you have day off today, how about we go to the Central?" Rouge suggested.
"Central, what's that?" Shadow asked.
"It's a business distract with tons of great restaurants, and there's also another place I want to check out." Rouge answered.
"Hmm, sounds like a good place to start if I want to get to know more about Little Garden." Shadow said getting into the idea.
"Alright, let's go." Shadow agreed to the plan of today.
"Great, then it's a date." Rouge said as she gets up from the bed and pick up her nurse uniform.
"Wait, don't you have work?" Shadow asked, wanted to be sure.
"Nah, I have the day off too." Rouge answered putting on her clothes and walk out.
Shadow looks out the window seeing the city of Little Garden floating through the ocean as a giant ship, he wonders this will be the future for other cities and countries in case the earth gets overflow with the sea someday, but for now he'll just have to worry about getting use to the place as his new home until he graduates. It won't be so bad though, he made some friends like Hayato and Emile, and got to fight some strong opponents like Claire and Liddy. Wondering what other exciting things will happen next.
(Central)
"Wow, the place sure is pact almost makes you forget that this is actually a boat." Shadow commented, walking with Rouge while holding a bag in one hand and a strawberry crepe.
"I know, Little Garden could be considered a country too when you moved here, and you can travel the world without having to take a plane." Rouge agreed, holding her own strawberry crepe too.
As Shadow and Rouge are walking around seeing all the restaurants and the people living going about their own business, this place may in face be a country despite it being a school for those who wish to become Slayers to protect the world from all that is evil like the Savages. Plus, it's just any other schools with homework and meeting new people to be friends with, though Shadow never actually went to any schools before in his life and would find them boring compare to Little Garden.
"You know, I'm actually starting to feel relax for the first time in years." Shadow admitted.
"I can tell, back with G.U.N. you were always serious wanting to go on more missions and do training most of the time, even with me around." Rouge pointed out.
"Sorry if I made you feel lonely." Shadow apologized to his girlfriend.
"Don't worry about it, you always made up for me whenever it's just us." Rouge said before kissing his cheek.
Shadow also notice that everyone like some civilians and the students are staring at him with aw looks.
"Why is everyone eying on me?" Shadow asked, wondering if he did something wrong.
"It's because of the tag duel yesterday, silly, everyone has been talking about you and Hayato nearly defeating Claire and Liddy that you became popular overnight." Rouge explained, having very good hearing that she heard some whispers among the people.
"Really, I bet some would want to challenge me." Shadow smirked.
"If they have the gut to even talk to you, you were the most standup guy than Hayato." She stated.
Speaking of Hayato, Shadow then spotted him along with Emile, or Emilia since she's a girl dress up as a boy, walking together in the Central too.
"Well, it looks like our little princess in disguise is having her date with Hayato." Shadow pointed at the two.
"Oh, now that's an interesting sight. How about we make with fun with a double date." Rouge suggested with a wink.
"Why not, I've been meaning to ask him to be my training partner anyway." Shadow said, on board with the plan and they follow them.
Hayato and "Emile" arrived at location with a water fountain and a great view of the sea.
"Isn't it beautiful?" "Emile" asked amazes of the place.
"Yeah but isn't this…" Hayato looks around seeing most people are couples on a date coming here realizing this is a hotspot for dates.
"I say it's a great place to get a great view of the sea." Shadow said surprising Hayato and "Emile" as he and Rouge walks up to them.
"Hey Shadow, I see you got out of the hospital too." Hayato greeted.
"Thanks, glad to see you're feeling better too and hanging out with a "friend" today." Shadow glanced at "Emile" making "him" feel nervous.
"Yeah, I thought I would show Hayato around Little Garden though only some places I've seen so far." "Emile" explained, chuckling in a nervous tone.
"(Oh, this is going to be fun.)" Rouge thought with an evil smile.
"Hey Shadow, is this someone you know?" Hayato asked curious about the new girl.
"Yes, as a matter of fact this is my girlfriend Rouge Kōmori, she started working at the hospital we were staying at." Shadow introduced.
"Hey there, I already know you two from the duel, but I wanted to meet you in person." Rouge said offering her hand to "Emile".
"Oh, well, it's nice to meet you Rouge. I'm actually surprised that mister grumpy here already found himself a fine girl such as yourself." "Emile" teased as "he" shakes Rouge's hand.
"Trust me, he may seem all dark and edgy but he's a good man at heart." Rouge said as Shadow sighs. Rouge pulls "Emile" closer to her with her mouth near the ear.
"And I hope you can get along well, Emilia Hermit." Rouge whispered making Email jump in shock.
"You alright, Emile?" Hayato asked.
"Uh, oh yeah, it's nothing. Rouge just told me joke, that's all." Emilia lied as her cheeks blush.
"Say Hayato, doesn't Emile's face look more girl than a boy?" Rouge asked causing Emilia to worry more.
"Really I haven't notice." Hayato said, then heard his phone ringing checking to see his younger sister is calling and answer.
"Hey, Karen." Hayato greeted.
"I'm still surprised that his sister is allow to come here." Shadow said.
"Karen got sick with an illness and Little Garden has first class medical treatments that can help her, that's the reason why he came here in the first place." Rouge explained.
"How do you know that?" Shadow asked.
"The friend I mentioned is Karen's caretaker, I actually meet her when I first came here." Rouge answered.
"Oh, so you already got to meet Hayato's sister?" Emilia surprised.
"Yeah, by the way; how long are you gonna keep up the acting?" Rouge asked, Emilia gasps a little before looking to see Hayato still talking on the phone.
"Please don't say anything to anyone, if they find out I'm a girl pretending to be a boy then they'll have me move out of the dorm." Emilia begged.
"I fail to see why you needed to cross-dress just be close to Hayato, it kinda sounds like you two had history together." Shadow stated.
"Well, we did as little kids for a while until we went our separate ways until now, he saved my life back then and you could say I fell in love with him." Emilia explained.
"But you and Hayato could still hangout together at school and in the city, I can tell that Hayato would feel the same despite you true identity." Shadow said.
"Really?" Emilia asked.
"Even though I only known him for three days, he's the kind of guy with a big heart." Shadow nodded.
"Hey guys!" Hayato called out. "Karen said she wants to meet you guys." He informed.
(Bus Stop)
At the bus stop, the gang met up with Hayato's younger sister who's in a wheelchair; she has fade-pale skin, black hair like Hayato's, and purple eyes. She wears a black dress-like clothing with a purple vest on top as the end of the sleeves are colored white and black shoes. Breasts sizes: B-cup.
She is also accompanied by her caretaker Rouge mentioned; She has blue hair and purple eyes, well elbowed figure. She wears a white-blue shirt with a small black jacket, blue jeans, and brown shoes. Breasts sizes: H-cup.
"I didn't think you would come here." Hayato surprised.
"Oh, they gave me permission to go outside today. And these must be the friends you told me about." Karen said, looking at the three.
"Hey Karen." Rouge greeted.
"Oh, Rouge, I see you're here too mentioned and he must be boyfriend." Karen said looking at Shadow.
"Hello, I'm Shadow Chaos. It's nice to meet you." Shadow introduced himself.
"Shadow Chaos, that's a unique name." Karen commented.
"I'm surprise you're here as well." Rouge said to the woman.
"Well, I got curious when Karen said your name over the phone and that you have a boyfriend, I had to come see this for myself." The blue-haired woman explained.
"Hello Shadow, my name is Miharu Kashiwagi." Miharu introduced.
Hayato couldn't help but blush he stares at Miharu's large breasts and try his best not to think of anything perverted, keyword: tried. Emilia notice this punting her cheeks and pat his side with her elbow.
"Hey, quiet starring at her boobs." Emilia said snapping Hayato out.
"Oh hello, you're also a friend?" Karen asked.
"Yeah, my name is Emile Crossfode. Hayato's roommate." Emilia introduced with her fake name.
"And you're a boy, interesting." Karen suspected making Emilia feel nervous that she's seeing right through her.
Rouge chuckles and lean close to Karen's ear.
"Just play along, the girl said she was a friend with your brother when they were little kids." Rouge whispered.
"Really?" Karen surprised, guessing that makes her a childhood friend and seem familiar for some reason.
"Okay." Karen nodded, decided to ask Emilia about herself when they're alone.
(Later)
"So, Karen, any specific place you want to see on this fine?" Shadow asked.
"Well, I have always been curious to see what the school is like." Karen mentioned.
As everyone stop at the street light, a music is playing of a female singer.
"Oh, it's Sakura. That's my favorite." Karen excited.
"Who's Sakura?" Hayato asked, Shadow also thinking the same question.
"The famous pop idol, Sakura Kirishima. Duh! I heard some of her songs at the hospital today." Karen said.
"Yeah, she's really popular right now." Emilia said, also likes her songs.
"Sakura Kirishima…" Shadow said, feeling that she seems familiar somehow and suddenly felt a slight headache as an image of a young girl with pink hair.
"Hey Shadow, you alright?" Rouge asked as the group notice this.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just had a weird feeling I know that girl but can't tell why." Shadow said looking at Sakura in the corner screen.
"Oh yeah, you mentioned that you have no memories of your past." Hayato recalled.
"Really, that's sad." Miharu said.
"(Come to think of it, I'm starting to think I seem Sakura too.)" Hayato thought.
"Anyway Karen, what were you saying?"
"Oh yeah, that place I wanted to go to!" Karen excited.
(Outdoor Cafeteria)
"Of all places this is where you wanted to go?" Shadow asked as everyone is sitting at two tables put together outside of the cafeteria.
"I never really got a chance to go to school because of my condition, it's something I always wonder what it's like." Karen explained as she finishes eating her pork as she squeals of joy from the taste.
"The girl sure has a big appetite, makes me wonder if all that fat will go to breasts." Rouge teased.
"Hey, no need to make it sound so weird." Karen covered her chest with her arms and Rouge chuckles.
"Well, I think this has been a wonderful time with people you know sharing a moment like this." Miharu smiled.
"Yeah, makes you think the world should be peaceful like this." Emilia agreed.
"Oh, Hayato Kisaragi." A familiar voice called out.
Everyone turn their heads as the three students are surprise to see Claire and her two Vice-President with a young boy by her side out here.
"President?" Hayato surprised.
"President? So that's the blonde with the huge chest who put you two through all this?" Karen guessed.
"Hey, don't say is out loud." Hayato whispered worry.
"It's a little too late for that I'm afraid." Claire said, she heard her.
"And this foul-mouthed girl, is she a friend of yours?" Claire asked.
"She's Karen Kisaragi, Hayato's younger sister." The boy informed.
"And who the hell are you?" Shadow asked.
"I see you're not afraid to speak out loud, I'm please to meet you. Name's Chris Steinbelt." Chris introduced himself to the group as second-year middle schooler and Claire Harvey's personal assistant.
"(Wow, he's the same age as me and an assistant this Claire girl who I heard is the strongest in Little Garden.)" Karen thought finding herself staring at Chris.
"Love at first sight?" Rouge asked with a smirk.
"Wh-what, no, I was just, huh… surprised to see someone my age" Karen blushed looking away.
"This is excellent timing, I'd like to talk to you and Shadow Chaos about something." Claire stated her business here.
"What, you want to recruit us for something?" Shadow guessed.
"Yes, as a matter of fact; I invite you to join what we call Selections." Claire said with a grin.
