Mello waited at the table. He soon saw a girl in long black sleeves with chin-length hair and a sort of purple eyes. She was pale and short. She was cute and pretty with pale skin. Her skirt was green but short. She was shyly holding her card to her chest as she looked around.
Mello greeted this pretty, shy, Japanese girl. He then pulled a seat for her at their table. She put her finger to her chin still holding on her card. Cursed was so different from Linda because her actions looked cute and maybe shy. He gently pulled the card out of her hand and gestured her to take a seat. She took the seat and smiled softly. "So tell me about yourself," he said in Japanese as she sat down demurely.
He sat down across from her and passed her card back. "I'm Hotaru Tomoe daughter of Doctor Tomoe." She said introducing herself.
"I'm called Mello. I won't say who my parents are or my real name at least not on the first date my school is strict." Mello replied. Their water came and both ordered some chocolate Chai tea. The waiter smiled as he took their orders which ended up being a plate of sushi. Mello was glad to have someone to eat the exotic food with him. She smiled softly. She was glad someone was able to take some of her culture because right now, she was so nervous, she didn't think she could eat anything foreign and it stay down.
"So hows your school?" he asked. She looked at him. "Is it strict?" he asked.
"Yes academically it is strict but I don't struggle with that it's more of an attendance issue," she said evading the fact she was a social outcast in her school. Their teas both came at the same time and she looked a bit confused as the cup was one not like the water cups or her teacups at home.
Mello saw her looking confused. He took her hand and used his hand to wrap her fingers through the handle. There was the electric feeling he had barely felt before when he pulled the card from her hand. She was blushing as well but got the idea and with her grip on the tea, she took it towards her mouth and smelled the aroma before taking a polite sip somehow not burning her mouth in the process.
"How's the tea?" he asked as she gently put it down.
"It was sweet, and creamy with some spice notes in it. " Mello took a savoring sip from his cup, understanding exactly what she was meaning. She then took her cup, blew on it and took another sip smiling.
"So Mello do you like history?" she asked the cup still steaming in her hand as she put it down.
"I have some fascination with history as those who don't learn from the mistakes are doomed to repeat it." He replied getting into her intellectual side.
"So if Hitler hadn't asked the Japanese for help in World War two do you think he would have won?" she asked
"He would have because he would have asked the Chinese and Russians. It would still be Russia turning on him but then having China who was being traded with by the United States would have made it hard to win. Japan bombing Pearl Harbor was what made them more than neutral it that never happened, they would be neutral and not get out of its depression. " Mello responded and she hummed.
"The other possibility is China being on Hitler's side and Pearl Harbor still happening but the bombing could put America against England. " she said and their sushi plate was brought down in between them.
Mello grabbed the chopsticks and tried while failing to grab the sushi. Hotaru grabbed his hand sending electric feelings for both of them very strong.
She then adjusted his hand and grip to the chopsticks. She smiled and her hand lingered as she helped him grab the sushi with his chopsticks. He soon got the mechanics and she let go saying "Itadakimasu as she grabbed her own. They both had little different bite-sized sushi pieces. It was an enjoyable meal. After the plate was cleared, each ordered the chocolate Mochi. Mello liked this and paid for the meal that they had split.
He then took her to a church it was sunset so the colors and the garden looked like some kind of dream. He pointed to each of the stars and the planet Saturn was extremely bright. Mello told her which ones were which. She sat down on the bench looking up where the blond was pointing. She might have had some different constellations but they seemed to be the same stars. It brought a smile to the Japanese girl's face.
Mello saw and was having so much fun as she watched and listened to him with interest. His anger was melting away with the pretty girl. She even at the end of his lesson taught him some of her own. It wasn't history but she still seemed fascinated. He and she got close when a cell phone rang. Hotaru answered it embarrassed. It was her father who now was coming to pick her up. After telling where she was, she hung up and apologized. Mello said it was fine and they waited.
