It was a bright Saturday morning and the whole Yadomaru household was already awaken except for one person. Lisa stirred in her sleep and after a couple of minutes she slowly opened her eyes. She had worked overtime the previous night and was so tired that she had to drag herself into the washroom to take a bath. She gave her teeth a quick brush before throwing herself onto her bed and entered into a deep slumber immediately.

"Good morning." She said and yawned loudly as she came down from the stairs and approached the dining hall. "Had a late night yesterday?" asked her mother. Lisa nodded and took her sear before reaching out for the glass of orange juice. "Poor thing. Well, you should have a good rest today since it's the weekend." Her mother told her and went into the kitchen to make some breakfast for her daughter.

"Good morning sis! I'm going to the bookstore now. See you later." Nanao said to Lisa as she was walking down the stairs from her bedroom.

"The bookstore? What day is it today?" Lisa asked. "It's the second Saturday of the month. Why?"

"Yes! It's out already. Could you please help me buy that magazine Nanao? I'll repay you the money later."

"What? That magazine? No way! I'm not going to help you again!"

"Please Nanao. Just help me this once again. Please." Lisa pleaded.

"No! I'm not going to. Why can't you just go down to the store and buy it yourself? I don't want to do it!" Nanao cried out.

"I'm tired. Please, I got home only after midnight yesterday. I still want to sleep later. Please Nanao. Just help me get it okay? Alright, I will make a deal. I will repay you the amount that you spend on books and my magazine later. I will pay everything for you. Is that good with you?"

Without any second thoughts, Nanao readily agreed and left the house on her errand.

She took half an hour to walk to the bookstore from her house. As she pushed open the door the bell tinkled and the storekeeper who recognized her greeted her.

She nodded and made her way quietly to a corner of the store to look for her book. She spent the next hour scoring the bookstore for self-help books on cocktail drinks to familiarize herself with the drinks at the bar.

Occasionally she would turn towards the magazine section to check if there was anybody there. It was a rather quiet day at the bookstore that day.

There were a group of high school boys in the magazine section and a few other customers looking at the cookery book section and home décor section.

Just then she saw the storekeeper motioning to her to come towards the counter. "Are you looking for this?" he asked and pulled out a magazine from below the counter table.

"Yes. That's the one. It's the latest issue right?" "Yes it is. Do you want that too?" He pointed to the other books that Nanao was holding on to.

"Yes please." As she was preparing to take out money to pay for her purchase she heard a voice from behind her. "I didn't know you were interested in that type of book."

When she turned around she almost jumped out of her skin at the sight of Shunsui standing behind her.

After accepting the change and taking her books she left the store with him following closely behind her. "You… what are you doing here?" she spluttered.

"I'm just taking walk around. I didn't expect to see you in there. And you even bought an ero-magazine…"

"That's not mine! It's for someone else!" she said hurriedly and she felt her cheeks redden. She couldn't believe that she was seen by someone buying that sort of magazine.

"And of all people why must it be him? Oh my god. Lisa is going to owe me big time for this". Nanao thought.

Shunsui chuckled as he saw her expression on her face. "Come on. You don't have to be shy about this kind of stuff. Everyone has read that kind of thing before. Even the high school kids were looking at it! But I guess the saying is true, don't judge a book by its cover. You never know that a wolf may be hiding in a sheep disguise." He told her.

"What? Am I a wolf in sheep clothing? " she thought and felt offended about his impression of her.

"I'm sorry; I can't talk with you now. I've got to go back home. Bye." She told him curtly and went her way.

Shunsui watched as the young woman walked away and smiled to himself. He didn't think he would meet her again so soon.

"See you at the bar Nanao." He said and turned to leave the spot where they stood for the past five minutes.
