I entered the kitchen where Tohru was preparing breakfast,

'Oh Tohru, Kyou and I won't be eating breakfast,' I told her as I saw the quantities.

'You won't? Oh dear I'll have to put a lot of this in the fridge.'

'Actually, could you pack up our quantities and we'll eat the later. I was thinking of a picnic in the park with Kyou.'

She clasped her hands to her chest and beamed at me, 'that's so romantic Haru-kun! Is it your first date today?'

'Yes it is, and shh, no one else knows remember!'

Her hands whipped off her chest and she pressed them to her mouth, she looked around anxiously to see if anyone was nearby.

I sighed, 'don't worry no one heard you.'

She relaxed and asked if I wanted her to make any more food. 'No thank you, that looks delicious and plenty enough,'

I took the bag she presented me with and yelled up the stairs for Kyou.

He stumbled down the stairs still ruffling his hair with a towel. 'I'm here! God you're so impatient.'

He dumped the towel in the pile by the washing machine and we set out.


We were walking along in perfectly comfortable silence and I thought it was safe to hold my hand and brush his fingers. He started before gingerly sliding his fingers between mine; I gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

'Um... Haru?'

'Yes kitten?' Momentarily he scowled before continuing

'Where are we going?'

'Lots of places kitten but they're all surprises.'

'That's not fair! I wanna know!'

'Now, now, kitten you have to learn patience! I thought that was key in being a martial artist?'

I grinned at him and he stuck his tongue at me.

The silence resumed and we soon reached town. He tried to slip his hand away from mine but I clung on.

'Remember Kyou, it's not shameful. Also, none of our family are here so let's be a proper couple and enjoy our date!'

First, I took him to the cinema. I asked him to pick a film but he said he didn't watch many so didn't know what ones were good.

So I picked a scary film.

I picked the Ring.

The Ring is very scary and who knew that Kyou was a big scaredy cat at heart.


The television crackled and a well in the middle of the forest appeared on the screen. The man sat back in his seat. Something started to ascend from the depths of the well. A face covered almost entirely by straggly black hair started to be seen. The television crackled. The girl was nearly completely out of the well. The television crackled. She now stood infront of the well. The television crackled. She now was half way to the screen. The television crackled. She stood in front of the screen.

Kyou was giving little small jumps every time something remotely frightening happened – It was too cute ^^. I was just waiting for the moment that he jumped and grabbed onto my arm. It was doubtful that that would ever happen.

There was a pause – everything stood still. Crackle. The angle changed and the girl surged grotesquely into the room.

Kyou started, slammed his eyes shut and grasped my arm.

I was so happy, I could have died.


'Shut up!' Kyou huffed after the film had finished.

'Kitten, I didn't say anything,'

'You're mocking me! I can see it on your face!'

'... you were just so cute! Grasping onto my arm like that and whimpering!'

'I DID NOT WHIMPER!' He yelled.

'Kyou we're in public. You're making a scene,'

'SHUT UP YOU STUPID OX!'

He looked down and the ground and clenched his fists, that was a sign that he was trying ever so hard not to hit me. I grinned, reached out and patted his head.

'Come on, let's go and I won't say any more about it.' I took his hand and whisked him out of the cinema.

I was guiding us (somehow) around the town to the next location and Kyou was still fuming slightly.

'Haru, I wouldn't have been scared if was remotely realistic.' I heard him force out through gritted teeth, 'I'm not scared of anything in the real world! Anything this world can throw at me, I can take it!'

'I know kitten, I know. I didn't doubt it for one second.' I didn't mention that I heard the fear in his voice last night when he was dreaming about me leaving, but I suppose that a dream can't really be considered the real world either.

Everyone's scared of something though, and even though he won't admit it, Kyou's no exception.

Review Please! Also I'm sorry if I didn't get the Ring perfect because it's been a long time since I've seen that movie but it was the scariest I could think of.
