Between Two Hearts
Chapter 17: A Perfect Night
~~~~~
Saino slowly opened the door. When she opened it, the room was so silent and dark. She turned to Wakaba confusingly.
"No one's here," she said.
Wakaba was staring at her watch, smiling. Party poppers suddenly popped.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAINO!!!" everyone exclaimed. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"
Saino, eyes wide in shock, turned and saw everyone there.
"Happy Birthday, Saino. We've prepared a party for you," Tsuzuki said, smiling.
Her eyes were brimmed with tears. The young girl, bursting into tears, suddenly dashed toward Tsuzuki.
Tsuzuki asked hastily and worriedly, "What's wrong??? Don't you like it???"
She shook her head, "Iie! It's just that… Nobody, not even my parents, ever greeted me nor celebrated my birthdays when I was young!"
The brunette softly stared at her, smiling, "Daijoubu desu. You should be happy now."
Saino stared at him and nodded. A smile hanged on her face. She looked at everyone and noticed only one person was not there, Hisoka.
"Are? Where's Kurosaki-kun?" she asked.
Watari said, "AH! I think he went to his GIRLFRIEND to give her a gift."
"Watari!?!" Tatsumi softly said.
"I see…" Saino disappointingly said.
Wakaba suddenly told her, "Let's go and get changed!"
"Huh???" Saino said, with question marks over her head.
Wakaba pushed her towards a room, "Oh, com'on. You can't wear normal clothes when it's your birthday. Also, this is a grand party for New Year! You should look nice!"
They already went inside the room and changed.
~~~~~
Hisoka finally went out of another room with Yuma. He's wearing a tuxedo with a blue tie. Tsuzuki went towards him.
The young boy asked, "Has Saino already arrived?"
"~Saino~!!!" Tsuzuki said in singsong.
"Urusai!?!" he yelled, blushing. Reia: You call a person who is not that close to you by his or her surname. But if there's something between the two of you, you call the person by his or her first name or nickname! ^_^
"Ano, she already did," he said. "And do you know what was her reaction to Watari's excuse?"
"Watari's excuse???"
"Watari's excuse was that you're not here because you gave a late Christmas gift to your past girlfriend."
"NANI?!?" he exclaimed again.
He whispered, "And hearing that from him made her look depressed. ~She cares about you~~~!!!"
"Urusai!?!" he even more turned red.
Saya suddenly went to them.
She told Hisoka, "Hayaku!"
He sighed, "All right…"
~~~~~
Saino told Wakaba, "I'll be going now. Arigato Gozaimasu!"
The young ebony was wearing a simple cerulean blue dress paired up with blue sandals. Saino finally opened the door. She noticed Hisoka in front of her, about a meter away. The two were staring at each other surprisingly.
"K-Kurosaki-kun…" she softly stammered.
He smiled and reached out for her hand.
He asked, "Would you care for a dance?" Reia: WAI!?! This makes me remember Tsubaki-hime!?!
Her cheeks turned pink. She nodded smilingly. She put her hand on his and they went near the center, the dance floor where the others also danced. Saino put her left hand on his shoulder and Hisoka's right hand at her slim waist while her right hand and his left hand were together. The two were both having a wonderful time, especially Saino. The music turned softer and lights turned dimmer. Saino put both of her hand on his shoulders while Hisoka, on her waist. Saino leaned closer to his chest and closed her eyes. Hisoka was staring at her, smiling.
"I wish it would be like this forever…" Saino smiled. "I'll never forget this… never…"
"… Arigato, minna…"
As the two were dancing, Tsuzuki, Watari and Tatsumi were sitting at one of the tables. Tsuzuki was staring at Hisoka and Saino.
He sighed, "Saino's such a cute girl in that light blue dress… And Hisoka, he also looks cute in that tuxedo…"
Watari added, "And they looked cute couples while dancing!"
Tatsumi told them, "Will you give them some privacy?… The two lovers need it. At least for Saino."
"Two lovers???" Watari asked. "Is Saino Hisoka's…?!?"
"Ehh???" the brunette butted in. "I didn't know that!!"
Tatsumi sweatdropped, "Just give them some privacy, ok?"
Saya suddenly went to them, "Would you care for a dance, Tsuzuki-san?"
Tsuzuki nodded. They also went at the dancing floor.
----------
The two were already tired from dancing and decided to go to the balcony at the second floor. The two sat on the balcony and had a private talk.
The young girl begun, "Arigato… I really didn't expect that all of this would happen. And I'm very glad about it."
Fireworks suddenly appeared at the starry sky, adding beauty to its site.
Saino turned and said, "Kirei…"
Hisoka was staring at her with a smile etched on his face.
"I really don't know why but I'm feeling comfortable when I'm with her right now…" he thought. "I guess I shouldn't have judged her at first…"
He suddenly remembered and pulled something out of his pocket.
He gave it to her, the cerulean gift, "This is for you. I'm sure you're going to like it…"
"Ehh??" she got it. Before unwrapping it, she told him, "I haven't received any gifts until now…"
"Yeah, I know…" he said.
"How did…???" she asked.
"I also have the powers called empathy," he told her.
"I see…" she smiled. "Anyway, thanks!"
Saino unwrapped the gift, revealing a small black box. She opened the box and saw the sapphire studs. Her eyes were wide open, remembering something. Images started to run on her thoughts.
A twelve year old boy, who was wearing a school uniform and with a silhouette face, was staring at her. Another was Sakura, when she was four, staring outside a store. She was staring at the silver bracelet displayed near the glass window.
What kept on ringing in her thoughts was the boy with silhouette face.
"Kageyami, daijoubu?" he asked and put his hand on her shoulders.
He also saw what was in Saino's thoughts.
Saino finally got rid of it but ended with a little headache. Hisoka caught her.
"Who was that, Kageyami?" he asked.
"I… I don't know… I can't remember…" she said.
She smiled, "Anyway, I'll try it now…"
She turned around. She took one of the studs first and, removing first the lock, pierced it on her ear. Then, the next one followed. When done, Saino turned back to him. As Hisoka stared at her, the studs looked like sparkling stars, which made the finishing touches on the young girl. Hisoka blushed a little.
"Y-you look kawaii…" he told her, turning away to hide his blush.
Saino looked disappointed, her eyes were narrowed.
She sighed, "… I don't think so… you're not staring straightly at me. You could be just bluffing…"
She pulled out her tongue a little, smiling, which made her look like a kid but was cute. Hisoka slowly turned to her and she stopped making that silly tongue-out.
Hisoka said, "It fits you perfectly. You look kawaii…" Hisoka turned redder as he was being stared by Saino.
She smiled in delight, "That's better!!!"
"I like you to wear that all the time. Will you?"
"Sure. Just for you…" she softly smiled.
He suddenly remembered, "By the way…"
"… Thanks for your gift," he smiled.
She blushed and turned away, "So, you knew…"
He nodded, "And I'm already wearing it."
He jumped to his feet and stood in front of her.
He said, "I want to show you something. Would you come with me?"
She nodded and also stood up. They went down the first floor then secretly went out of the place.
*****
Oh my, where could Hisoka be taking her??? I guess, somewhere nice? ^_^
