Disclaimers apply..Blah blah.. RK's not mine.. Hail the Great Watsuki- sama... I'm just a poor high school stud..... Don't sue me! ^_^
Arashi ignited the ignition of the car, not knowing where they were going. He didn't plan this far. He just thought that once he got to Kaoru, he'd figure out what to do next.. and the next became now. He still didn't know what to do, where to go or what to say to the pretty girl sitting next to him. He decided to take the chance and ask her.
"So.. where do you wanna go?"
Kaoru stared at him, confused. "Nani? I thought you knew where we were going."
Arashi felt his face turn into a light shade of pink. "I.. uh.. I didn't think that far."
Kaoru's face formed into a big smile. And then without warning, she laughed. Her tinkly laughter puzzled Arashi even more.
"What?" Arashi faced her, his handsome face contorting with confusion. "Why are you laughing?"
Kaori gulped in some air before speaking.
"It's just that I never thought that you, Arashi, could be so spontaneous as to invite me and not know where to go to!!" Then she immersed into another round of giggles.
Even her laughter is musical Arashi thought distractedly. Then, shaking himself from his reverie, he suddenly thought of something.
"Hey Kaori.. I'm sorry for being a real jerk to you in the past." Pausing to look at her seriously, he continued, "So, today, I'll be your slave! I'll drive you where you wanna go and I'll accompany you to whatever you're gonna do." Then for the first time, he smiled a real smile without holding back. Kaori felt a chill go through her spine.
"What do you think?"
Kaori grinned. This is going to be fun, she thought. "So, what are you waiting for Arashi-kun? Let's go!!"
Their first stop was at the mall. There is going to be a dance at school in the following week and Kaori remembered she still didn't have anything to wear. What good timing! She thought. Plus it would be very amusing to see Arashi try to put up with all these girly things. She led him into a lot of boutiques and made him wait while she fitted dresses, blouses and skirts.
After walking out of the nth store without anything, Arashi still remained quiet. He didn't complain nor did he show signs of being bored. Kaori watched him with fascination. Either this man has a lot of patience or he's itching to strangle me for dragging him to all those places!!
"Arashi-kun? Are you tired already?" Kaori inquired
"Iie…" Arashi denied. "I'm actually having a nice time"
Kaori laughed that laugh again. Arashi raised an eyebrow at her.
"You know, Arashi-kun, you are a bad liar!!"
Arashi smiled slightly and scratched his head. "You are one complicated girl, Kaori." Then he grabbed her hand and led her towards another shop. "C'mon, there are still more stores here!"
Kaori was dumbfounded.
Arashi sat down and waited while Kaori tried on a black tube dress and a red poncho. When she came out, she asked Arashi what he thought.
Arashi, on the other hand, couldn't even breathe, much more try to think. She is so pretty "Um.. ahh…" He wasn't able to continue.
Kaori looked down uncomfortably. "Is it too formal? It doesn't look good on me, does it?" She started towards the fitting room. "I'll try another, okay?"
Arashi wasn't able to say anything else. For the first time in his life, he wanted to speak.. but couldn't.
Kaori came out again, this time wearing a simple long white one-shoulder bias-cut dress. The color of the fabric contrasted with her hair and it brought out the blue in her eyes. Arashi was taken aback. He stood there gaping at Kaori with his mouth half open.
"Ummm.. " Kaori blushed because of the way Arashi was looking at her. "What do you think?"
Arashi is an intelligent guy, but right now, he found no words to describe Kaori. Plus his conscience kept on nagging him to turn and look the other way. "You look really nice Kaori." And before he could stop himself, he added, "The dress brings out the intense color of your eyes and your jet black hair."
BAKA!!! Arashi scolded himself quietly. That was _NOT_ supposed to come out!!
Kaori was now beet red. "Uh.. okay, then I, uh, I'll take it…" Talking more to herself than to the waiting salesperson. Then she hurriedly turned back to the fitting room to change.
As they were getting out of the store and thanking the salesladies, the girl from the register sighed at her co-worker. "What a good-looking couple! They match each other perfectly!"
Arashi and Kaori heard this and without knowing, they both blushed deeply and got out as fast as they could.
When Arashi took her home, Kaori was feeling embarrassed and pretty delighted with the way the day turned out. After they bought the dress, they ate first and went off to buy shoes. Then they went to the bookstore to browse for a while and then after ice cream, they decided to go home.
As Arashi stopped the car in front of her mansion, she invited him to come in. But Arashi refused, saying that he needed to come home for dinner.
"Okay.. so uh.." Kaori felt an awkward pause and continued. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow too."
"Thanks for accompanying me today, Arashi-kun!" Kaori added.
"You're very welcome, Kaori."
"Uh.." Kaori didn't know what else to say. "I'll go now.."
"Okay.. take care."
Kaori smiled and punched Arashi playfully. "Arashi-kun, I AM at my house. Nothing bad could possibly happen."
Arashi realized his stupidity for the hundredth time today and grinned too. How could I have been sooooooo stupid today? He turned to say something at Kaori, but when he turned, he realized she already got out of the car and got in her house.
"I'm not only stupid, I'm also deaf and blind. Baka." He revved up the engine and headed towards home.
Okay.. this is really fun.. I had fun doing this chappie… although was it a bit rushed? Tell me please!! :)
Arashi was OOC here… was it bad? Is my self confidence down the drain?! Hehe.. maybe the heat is getting to my head or something!!
Thanks to those who commented!! Thanks7 !!! Your reviews are the only things that make me want to continue this story!! Arigatou gozaimasta!!!
Until the next chapter!!
