HEY ALL! I have some how returned :)

So here is the next chapter and I shall explain my absence to you all. You see, this laptop that i have is now four years old and it has decided that is too old to work and likes taking huge breaks. Long story short every time the charger moves (even a bit) the whole thing shuts down... so i've been losing parts of this chapter continuously and it just takes forever to turn it on again to find that it shuts down within moments of being turned on. So yes I am looking into getting a new one, but it won't be until at least a few weeks till I get it. So I apologize in advance and for this and I hope this chapter is fun enough to make up for it :)

So hope you enjoy!

Flashback

"I have an idea" he stepped back and pulled on his hoodie and shades. "Get disguised Misa, we're going on a date."

"What? At this time of night?" she asked noting the darkness outside.

"Yup" he responded putting a hat on Misaki's head. He grabbed her hand and looked her up and down and nodded to himself. "It's a good thing we're not wearing the uniform. That would make it more difficult."

"But Takumi…"

"No buts! Let's go!"

End Flashback

Takumi dragged his unwilling girlfriend outside the school and down the street. The car would stand out too much, so he had decided to go on foot and once again experience the life of a normal person.

"Takumi… where are we going?" Misaki finally asked after she had been dragged for five minutes by Takumi.

"You'll see. Just be patient Misa" he said in a soothing voice. After another five minutes of walking down a major road Takumi slowed down and led Misaki to the train station. Misaki looked around curiously as Takumi paid quickly for two people and led her to the train. It was a good thing that they were late at night as most of the rush had dissipated and there weren't that many people heading on the train now.

Takumi and Misaki got onto a car with less people and stood close to the door. Misaki sighed and leaned against the post. Takumi smiled at the small glare she sent his way. "I really don't get you sometimes…" she said with defeat.

"Well if you did that would ruin the fun wouldn't it?" Takumi asked mischievously. Misaki rolled her eyes at her sometimes childish boyfriend.

A few stops later the two stepped off the train hand in hand and walked out into the night. They were now in downtown Tokyo. Misaki looked in wonder at the busy city with bright lights and people streaming about everywhere. Being raised in a small town, she was not used to the city being so lively. Even though she had been here for almost a year now it was still strange to see it so bright even at a time like this.

Takumi led Misaki into the throng of people and into a side alleyway after crossing the street. Misaki wondered where on earth he was taking her as she was led into a quite side street with almost nobody around. A few minutes of walking further Takumi led Misaki into a small door which opened into a drab looking lobby.

"What is this?" she asked confused.

"This, my dear Misaki, is an ice cream parlour, the greatest one in the city in fact." This caused Misaki to look sceptically around the drab looking lobby which had a sunken foyer after which there was a few tired looking seats with sagging cushions. Beyond that there was a single gray sliding door which is where Takumi walked towards.

"Uhm… this doesn't look like an ice cream parlour…" Misaki paused in mid sentence as Takumi opened the door to reveal a cute looking shop. Misaki stared in awe at the yellow and orange themed store with pictures of the different ice creams offered posted all over the wall.

There were little tables set with a cute decoration in the centre. Each table had its own setting and decorations. In front of the large glass display of the different flavours of ice cream there was a bright cherry red counter with matching blue bar stools.

"Whoa…" Misaki said as she stared at the bright colours and the astounding look of the entire store. "This really is something else…" she said in awe.

Takumi smiled at her amazed expression. When she did that she looked like a little kid, with her eyes bright and wide open and her mouth slightly agape. It really did make him want to kiss her again.

"Takumi… is that you?" a soft voice asked from behind the counter. Misaki turned to see an older lady standing behind the counter.

She was a small with a worn face that still shone radiantly. Takumi walked over to the old lady still holding Misaki's hand. "Hello Mrs. Hiroshi. This is Misaki, my girlfriend."

Misaki bowed to the old lady at the counter. Takumi spoke to her very respectfully and as if he cared about her a lot. "Nice to meet you, I am Ayuzawa Misaki."

Mrs. Hiroshi smiled and bowed her head back to Misaki as well. She then turned to Takumi with a little twinkle in her eye "Is she everything I told you she would be?" she asked in her whispery way.

Takumi smiled a radiant smile which Misaki hadn't seen before and it left her in a daze. "She is all you said and more." Mrs. Hiroshi smiled and stepped forward to give Takumi a hug.

"I'm so happy for you my dear." Misaki was about to step back to leave the two in their intimate moment when she was pulled into the hug as well. "And for you as well my dear, Takumi is a great boy and will become an even better man. Take good care of him."

Misaki blushed but nodded her head none the less and responded "I know he is. And I hope I am able to do so." Mrs. Hiroshi smiled happily at the couple as she watched Takumi squeeze Misaki's hand at what she said. She watched Misaki's face turn slightly red even as she squeezed his hand back as well. The two really were meant to be, she thought to herself.

"Well then, let me get you two some ice cream, it's on the house so don't you dare try and pay Takumi" she said with a warning gaze. Her soft little eyes hardened slightly and as she warned him.

"But Mrs. Hiroshi…"

"No buts" she said interrupting Takumi "My little boy has finally found someone that he loves and that loves him back, for an old lady like me I need to cherish this moment. And if you pay that ruins it for me. Now sit back you two, and watch an old hand at work" she said pulling her sleeves up.

Takumi and Misaki sat on the stools in front of the large display with all the different flavours. "Now what can I get you?" she asked pulling open the glass.

"I'll have the usual" Takumi said "What about you Misa?" he asked looking over at Misaki.

Misaki surveyed the large display for something that she might like. She picked the first thing she thought looked interesting "I'll have a small cone with one scoop of uhm… World Class Chocolate and one scoop of Splish Splash Sherbet" (A/N these flavours are from Baskin Robbins).

Mrs. Hiroshi nodded and pulled out a cone and scooped in the ice cream. She wrapped a napkin around the cone and passed it over to Misaki. She then pulled out another cone and pulled out Takumi's favourite flavours, which happened to be a scoop of Gold Medal Ribbon and Rock n' Pop Swirl Sherbet. She passed that over to Takumi as well then politely excused herself to give the couples some privacy.

Misaki took a lick of the ice cream and closed her eyes as she felt the delicious flavours melt in her mouth. "This is so good!" she exclaimed in surprise. "How on earth did you find this place Takumi?" she asked turning over to look at him.

Takumi licked his ice cream as well before answering "Well, the five of us were fooling around one day and were skipping lessons from school. We were in our last year of elementary and we were just exploring the streets of Toyo."

"Just a second" Misaki interrupted "You were in elementary and you were skipping class?" she asked outraged.

"Yup" Takumi said while taking another lick of his ice cream.

"You…" Misaki paused "Never mind… it's not even worth bringing up" she said rolling her eyes.

Takumi smirked and continued "Well, I had just jumped over the wall and was waiting for the rest of them to follow when I saw a couple walk out of the store talking and holding massive cones. I was curious when I saw the plain door they came through and then when everyone else had jumped over I came in to explore the store. When I walked in there were quite a few regular customers and when Mrs. Hiroshi saw us she welcomed us and gave us free ice cream as new comers."

Takumi paused for another lick of his ice cream. Misaki followed suit as she had been absorbed in his story and her ice cream was beginning to drip a little. "Well after that we kept coming back. Since it was the best ice cream we had ever tasted, and that's pretty much it…" Takumi became silent and was absorbed in his thoughts. Misaki did as well but she was trying to imagine a young Takumi, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Misa-chan I know you like how I look, but staring at me while eating ice cream does make you a bit of a pervert no?"

Misaki blushed bright red "You idiot! That's not what I was thinking of… I mean I was thinking about you but not in whatever way you were thinking of… you idiot…"

Takumi chuckled and turned to face her again and he grabbed her right hand (which held the ice cream) and bit off a piece and let it melt in his mouth. He looked thoughtful before he pronounced "Hmm I'll try this one next time" but when he turned to see Misaki's face he saw it frozen in shock.

He waved his hand in front of her face and was relieved to see her eyes focus on his face. "Are you ok?" he asked.

Misaki glared at him "You ate some of my ice cream you jerk!" she whined. Takumi raised an eyebrow at an estranged Misaki before he burst into hysterical laughter.

"Stop laughing! It's not funny!" Misaki yelled as her cheeks began to light up, but this time not because of embarrassment. Takumi ignored her and kept laughing Misaki glared at him and almost threw her ice cream at him. To retaliate she leaned over and bit off his ice cream, but since Takumi was moving due to laughter some ice cream got on her nose.

"Aw man…" she groaned which caused Takumi to look up. And of course (A/N like I would to my friends) he laughed even harder.

Misaki pouted cutely and was about to wipe it off when Takumi caught her hand. He leaned in closer and automatically Misaki's eyes closed. But instead of a kiss, Takumi licked the ice cream off her nose.

"Ahh! You… you!" Misaki was now furious that Takumi had made a fool of her twice and her explosive temper (which was normally under control) now blew up. "YOU IDIOT! DON'T JUST…"

"Don't what Misaki?" Takumi asked his face still close to her.

"Don't make a fool out of me like this…" Misaki muttered her voice quietening down.

Takumi smiled and leaned forward to properly kiss her this time. Their lips connected and they could each taste the flavours of their respective ice creams.

Mrs. Hiroshi smiled as she peeked curiously from behind the curtain. She had her doubts at first but now she knew that Misaki was perfect for Takumi. She was the spark to his normally dull eyes. She had brought life into them and she prayed that they stayed that way. She left the couple alone to let them enjoy their time alone.

Once they had pulled apart both of their cheeks were slightly red. As Takumi was about to take a lick from his ice cream again to cool himself down he heard Misaki mutter something under her breath.

"Sorry what was that?" he asked.

"You… you tasted sweet…" she whispered.

"So did you Misa-chan, so did you" Takumi responded and they held hands as the two of them continued eating their ice cream, Takumi once in a while stealing some from Misaki. I meant ice cream not kisses… in case you were wondering; though he probably stole some kisses while he was at it… you know how Takumi thinks.

So I hope you all enjoyed that :)

In case you're wondering the flavours (Canadian spelling) of ice cream are all from Baskin Robbins

BTW my if any of the spelling seems off (favourite and flavours) that's cause its the Canadian spelling :)

So that all :)

Peace out
