Chapter 12: Nagisa and Kaede's Date

Takes place after the final chapter of Assassin's Journey; but ain't part of the main story entirely.


Nagisa woke up at 8:36 AM in his bed, prepping to get ready for his first date with Kaede.

He looked to his surroundings to see Blue sleeping below his bed peacefully.

Nagisa smiled as he looked at a picture of him, Class E, Fairy Tail, the Straw Hats and the Substitute Shinigami group at the Class E campus building.

It was the picture they took before they went back to their worlds.

"Someday… we'll meet again." Nagisa thought.

Nagisa stretched his arms and got out of bed, grabbing Korefuji along the way.

Hearing her master move, Blue got up from her sleep in an instant and followed her owner.

"Morning, Blue." Nagisa said.

Blue smiled.

Nagisa grabbed a few clothes and went to the bathroom to change.

Blue waited outside, waging her tail.

A few minutes later, Nagisa came out dressed in a light blue hoodie with a turquoise wolf symbol on the bag and white strings, over a white, short-sleeved dress shirt, tan jeans held by a black belt with a silver buckle, and white and red sneakers. He also has Korefuji's sheath held with a red strap on both ends of the sheath.

"All set." Nagisa said.

Nagisa headed out to the door.

"See you, Mom and Dad!" Nagisa hollered.

"Have a good time, son!" Yusei hollered.

"Be sure you're back by 1!" Hiromi hollered.

"I'll watch Blue while you're gone!" Kotomi hollered.

Blue barked in agreement.

"Thanks!" Nagisa hollered.

Nagisa opened the door and closed it as soon as he got out.

"Have fun on your date, Nagisa." Blue said.

Nagisa jogged to Yoyogi Park, Shibuya to meet up with Kaede, who was there waiting for him.

Today was his and Kaede's first date since the Four Islands incident, using today until the afternoon to reinforce their relationship.

Nagisa was already there, waiting for Kaede to show up.

"Guess I'm early." Nagisa thought.

"Hey! Nagisa!" Kaede hollered.

Nagisa turned to see Kaede coming from the left, and boy he became surprised by her appearance.

She was dressed in a lime green sleeveless dress that extends to her knees with ruffled edges, with a sky blue windbreaker jacket over the dress and black calf-length sandals. Her hair still styled in the usual cat-ear pigtails.

"H-Hey, Kaede-san." Nagisa said.

Nagisa's face became tomato red.

Kaede giggled.

"Loss for words, Nagisa?" Kaede asked.

Nagisa couldn't say a word.

"Come on, we have only until 12!" Kaede hollered.

Nagisa snapped out of his "red face" and followed Kaede, who went to run around the park.

For the next two hours, Nagisa and Kaede jogged around Yoyogi Park for a whole hour before taking a twenty minute break.

For the next hour, Nagisa and Kaede had a picnic Kaede set up near her seating place while they were running. It consisted of two bento lunches with four bottles of spring water each.

Nagisa and Kaede were eating and chatting in between as they caught up on each other's progress. They really had a blast for their first date.

An hour later, it was 12 PM as Nagisa walked Kaede home.

They reached the door to her house as they began to say goodbye.

"See you next week, Kaede-san." Nagisa explained.

"You too, Nagisa." Kaede said.

Nagisa and Kaede gave each other a soft kiss on the lips for a ten seconds before releasing it.

Kaede smiled as she entered her house.

Nagisa genuinely smiled as he began to jog back to his house.

Nagisa entered the door to his house, where he is greeted by a joyful Blue jumping on him.

Blue licked him without rest.

"Okay! Okay, girl! Give me some room!" Nagisa hollered.

Kotomi grabbed Blue off Nagisa with a giggle.

"You know being more than three hours away from you gets her like this." Kotomi explained.

"Hah, hah. Very funny, sis." Nagisa commented.

Nagisa stood up and took a look to the horizon.

Nagisa smiled as he entered the house.

What awaits Nagisa's future, will be decided on his own terms.
