At lunch, I was invited to sit at Kaito's table. I was happy, since I didn't exactly want to sit with Rin and Len after this morning. So, I grabbed my lunch (which happened to be pizza and a salad) and grabbed a seat next to him.
Kaito smiled at me, "Hey, Miki. What's up?"
I smiled back, "Oh, nothing."
"Guys," He spoke to all the other boys at the table, "This is my girlfriend, Miki."
I blushed. No one had ever called me their girlfriend before. Everyone nodded, smiling at me as well.
"Miki," Kaito said, now gesturing to all the boys, "These are my brothers; Akaito, Taito, and Nigaito."
"Nice to meet you all," I said, trying to be polite.
"All of my brothers are going dress shopping with their dance dates," Kaito paused, "So, I wondered if you would like to come with us. You know, so you could hang with us, and find a nice dress." I thought for a second. I didn't have anyone to go dress shopping with, since Rin and Len are totally weren't on my side at the moment. Well, maybe Len was. Hopefully they just get together so I don't have go through all this stupid drama.
Anyways, I quickly answered, "I'd love to go dress shopping with you guys."
Kaito grinned and ruffled my hair, "Great, we can just head from school."
I was excited, but I hoped to god one of their dates wasn't my worst nightmare…
I walked out of the school with Kaito, smiling happily with my backpack hanging off my right shoulder. He led me to Taito's hummer. I looked at it in a kind of fearful way. It was pretty big. I just shrugged it off though, and followed Kaito to the back. There weren't enough seats, so we just got to sit in the trunk. It was cool.
Kaito smiled, "Okay, so… Miki, this is Taito's girlfriend, Kiku."
Kiku smiled (it was definitely a yandre smile), "Hello."
He then gestured to the pink haired girl sitting next to Nigaito, "This is Nigaito's girlfriend, Momo."
She giggled, "Nice to meet you." She was obviously sweet enough for Nigaito, I'm sure.
Finally, he gestured to the girl in the passenger seat, "And that is Haku, Akaito's girlfriend."
She hiccupped, "H-Hey." She seemed a little drunk, but whatever.
Momo leaned over her seat to talk to me, "So, are you excited to go dress shopping?"
I nodded, "Yeah. To be honest, I've never been on a real shopping trip before."
Kaito was listening, and he looked very surprised. Momo was surprised as well, "Really? Why not? I thought all girls liked to go shopping."
I smiled nervously, "I guess I've just never had the time to do stuff like that."
Kiku also peeked over her seat, "its okay. I never go shopping either."
"Why not?"
"Um… I'm also too busy, let's go with that." I didn't even want to know the real reason.
Kaito and I hoped out of the back of the hummer. The dress shop looked so amazing! For once, I was actually excited about hanging with people besides Rin and Len. It would take getting used to, but you know, why not?
Everyone else toppled out of the car (Haku literally toppled out of the car; Akaito had to catch her). We all walked into the store, starring at all of the wonderful dresses. Some looked sparkly, some were very fancy, and some were just plain, but they still looked pretty. All of them did.
"Attention," Akaito said loudly to get us to listen, "We guys are going to go look at tuxes and things, and you girls can go pick out dresses together. We can just meet up after we're done." Everyone nodded, heading their separate ways.
"Well," Momo smiled, "Let's go look at some dresses!"
We all laughed as we began to run down the aisles, picking out any dress that caught our interest. By the time each of us went through all the aisles, we each had three dresses picked out.
"Okay," Haku shrugged, "So, now what do we do?"
Momo giggled, "We model them, silly!"
I was confused, "Model them?"
"She means try them on," Kiku explained, "And then we can tell you how they look."
"Oh, well that makes sense."
"Well then," Momo held up her dresses, "Who wants to go first?"
After we finished modeling, each of us had picked our 'perfect dress.'
Haku's dress was a medium length grey dress with a v neck and a black tank top under it. She looked really nice in it.
"I've seen better," Kiku had muttered softly to herself.
Momo's dress was a green, frilly, and short. It had pink tulips and daisies all over it. It definitely seemed to fit her taste. She was all giggles and happy when she put the dress on. It was cute, I could say, since she reminded me of Mikio's little niece.
Kiku's dress was a red color – about the same as her hair – and was strapless. She also got a ribbon – it matched the one in her hair – that tied loosely around her neck. It was pretty cool.
My dress was a pink and went just above my knees. It had wavy short sleeves, and the bottom hem was wavy as well. There were cherries all over it. I thought it was just the most adorable thing. Everyone loved it, except Kiku who really could've cared less, but whatever. What I really cared about was what Kaito was going to think when he saw me.
"Should we go find the guys now?" I suggested. The girls nodded, and we walked off to find them.
Akaito was fixing Taito's tie, "God, this thing is-" He automatically stopped when he saw us.
"Haku, you look wonderful," He walked over and held her hand.
She blushed and hiccupped, "T-Thank you."
Taito gave a yandre smile to Kiku, "You look wonderful as well."
She gave him a yandre smile back, "Thank you."
Nigaito skipped over to Momo, "You look, um… really cute."
Momo giggled, "Thank you." She kissed his cheek. He blushed, surprisingly.
Kaito looked at me. I was a little shaky, "Um… do you like it?
The smile that appeared on his face gleamed, "You look amazing, did you know that?"
"Thanks," I smiled back at him, "I just thought it matched me."
"Well, it certainly does."
I examined his suit. It was white with blue lining and a blue bow, "You look incredibly handsome yourself."
He shrugged, "Meh."
I laughed.
"Well if we're all ready to go," Akaito said, "Let's go check out."
Then I realized that I'd never checked the dress's price. I flipped the tag over on the sleeve: $110! I gasped. I knew I'd never be able to afford this. "Wait," I reached for Kaito's hand, "I have to go get another dress." I was pretty upset now.
"Why?" He asked, "What's wrong with this one? I thought you liked it."
I looked down, "I… I don't have enough money to buy this one…" I felt extremely embarrassed, since everyone else had money.
Kaito patted my shoulder, "its okay. Why don't I buy the dress for you?"
"But it's over $100! I couldn't possibly ask you to do that."
He smiled, "I want you to have this dress, though. I know you really want this, so I'll buy it for you. No but's about it."
I couldn't help but smile back. I was happy that he wanted to buy this dress for me, even though I didn't want him to. I hugged him, "Thank you, so much."
He kissed my forehead, "No problem."
As we all left the store with our dance attire, I noticed Miku also leaving the store. She and her brother seemed to be carrying a dress and a suit. I guess they're going together, I thought to myself, though I'm pretty sure Mikuo could get someone better. I laughed to myself as well. I watched them walk away, practically tripping over each other. Then, I hopped into the back of the hummer yet again. The ride home, all we did was talk about the dance. What music we wanted to hear, what we were going to do, who we thought was the best dancer… it was fun. I even made new friends.
When we reached my house, Kaito helped me out of the hummer. He handed me my dress in a fancy blue bag with tissue paper in it, "I'm really happy that you allowed me to buy you this dress," He laughed, and I laughed with him. We just looked at each other for awhile.
Finally, I spoke, "Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Kaito-San."
His eyes sparkled, "I'll see you, too then."
I couldn't help myself, so I kissed him. It was just a little peck on the lips, though. His got wide, and he blushed.
"Sorry," I tried to apologize, but Kaito stopped me.
"It's okay," He chuckled and ruffled my hair, "Bye, sweet heart."
He jumped into the back of the hummer. I waved at them until they turned onto the next street. I blushed. I couldn't believe he called me sweet heart! I knew I didn't have time to think about it then, so I went inside to get my dinner.
