"Momiji, you're teeth are going to rot out of your head if you keep eating this crap" I told him.
He laughed at me. "Oh H'ari, you're so funny" he said running off to play.
I sighed and decided to go too the store so I don't have do deal with the rabbit continously asking for the candy.
I couldn't help but wonder if Miss Ito had gotten my note. I had taken time out of my night to write it, I hope she received it.
Once I arrived at the store I found the candy Momiji liked and picked it up. I then looked at the can of tomatoes and just looked at it for no reason. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Miss Ito, or it looked like her anyways. I go to her and make certain it is her.
It was her. "Miss Ito, are you alright?" I asked noticing she had pulled her hat down.
She took a while to answer and we both watched the can of peaches fall to the ground. I pick it up and put it on the shelf turning it several times to get it the way I wanted it. Finally satisified with the results I leave the peaches alone. I was still awaiting her answer.
Miss Ito asked if I found everything alright. I think she is avoiding my question. I try again with a different question.
"What time do you clock out?"
"Six..."
"I do hope we can grab that coffee, I know we just recently went out, but I cannot turn down coffee no matter how hard I may try" I said trying to crack a joke and a smile.
I refrain from smiling, after all a person of my stature doesn't smile, well not anymore anyway, not since Kana...
I didn't bring up the letter, I wasn't going to do that until we were together in person.
"It was lovely to see you Miss Ito, I will see you around seven" I tell her leaving the aisle.
I pay for my purchase and head back to the estate, where I find Momiji, Shigure, and Aya waiting for me.
"So H'ari, 'Gure tells me you went on a date" Ayame said nonchalantly.
Momiji's eyes lit up. "Hatori, you went on a date?! Is she pretty like Kana?" he questioned.
Both Ayame and Shigure looked at Momiji.
"Go home Momiji, take your candy and leave" I said in a scolding voice.
He whined like he normally does but left quickly without to much complaint.
How on Earth did Shigure find out about the date?
"Shigure, do you know how to mind your own business and not spread mine around?" I asked with a bit of ice in my voice.
He laughed that nervously laugh of his. "Well...you know...Haru saw you sneaking out and taking the limo" he told me.
"So it was up to you and your mouth to tell Ayame?" I threw back at him.
"H'ari, I want you happy, happier than you ever were with Kana" Ayame came back at me with.
"Are you going to see the pretty girl again?"
"It's none of your business, either of you...Shigure aren't you due for your flu shot?" I asked looking at him with my good eye.
"Oh...look at the time, I have to go, Ayame good to see you again, you must come over and have Tohru make you some of her delicous stew" he said getting up quickly and getting ready to leave.
I look at Ayame and narrow my eyes at him. "And I think I shall have snake for dinner tonight, save Yuki the trouble of skinning you"
Ayame laughed nervously and left as well.
Idiots, both of them. I can't believe they would come into my home and harass me like this. I look at my watch and decide to get ready for that coffee date with Miss Ito. I jump in the shower and clean up, and go to the market to pick her up.
