Kenshin turned his head when he caught a flash of long black hair and smiled as he spotted his girlfriend. Kaoru was in the arcade, standing next to one of the plethora of games within and his eyebrows rose in amusement as he neared. She had her fingers pressed against the glass of a claw game, eyes scanning the contents with intense scrutiny.
He crept up behind her and slid his arms around her waist, hugging her close as he gazed over her shoulder. Tiny black and white stuffed bunnies lay within, each holding a small heart in their tiny hands. Kaoru smiled and leaned into him with a happy sigh as her attention left the prizes, fingers sliding down until they left the glass altogether.
"I'm no good at these games," Kaoru murmured.
"How much did you spend this time?" Kenshin asked ruefully.
"Only 600 yen," she replied easily, though her eyes looked wistful.
Kenshin kissed her cheek softly. "If I had any change, I'd try for you."
Kaoru laughed and pulled out of his embrace, taking hold of his hand to tug him toward the restaurant they had agreed upon for their date. "I appreciate the thought, Kenshin."
