Taking Rabbit Out to the Mall
It's a beautiful day with today being the weekend meaning no school for two days as Bell is sitting at the park on the flower bed, and he is waiting for Himegami to arrive for their little outing or at least that's what he keeps telling himself.
"Oh man, I'm already feeling like I'm going to sweat." Bell gulped.
"Still, I can't this happened right after I told Inaho about me and mom about the kiss. What exactly was Himegami thinking when she said that?" Bell wondered as he remembers the moment from last night.
(Last Night)
Bell and Inaho came out of the room with the white hair boy having several kissy marks on his face and Inaho hugging onto his arm between her breasts.
"Do I even need to know what happened in there?" Haruko asked.
"I'm just happy that Bell and Shinku are showing their love for each other more!" Inaho giggled.
"Hey Rabbit Boy, it's a weekend tomorrow and I was wondering if you're free tomorrow or you already have plans?" Himegami asked.
"Huh, no, I'm pretty sure my schedule is clear tomorrow." Bell said beside of the homework he has to finish.
"Good, that means you and I can on a date to the mall." Himegami said with a little smug with both hands on her hips.
"Huh, wait, a date with me? Tomorrow? And did you just say we're going to a mall?" Bell asked shock along with Haruko expressing the same reaction.
"Hold on, Himegami! What the sudden thing of going on a date with him?" Haruko asked.
"What? Did you want to ask out our little rabbit here first?" Himegami asked teasing with a grin.
"What? No, no, that's now what I was… I was just wondering why the sudden interest in a guy right now?" Haruko asked while her cheeks are blushing like crazy.
"Well, I have been hearing about this guy a lot from Shinku with how special and great he is, so I want to see this for myself upon closer inspection by going on a date with him." Himegami explained her reason.
"Mom, you're okay with this?" Bell asked.
"Himegami is a good girl, I trust her to show you a good time at your first trip to the mall." Shinku nodded.
(Present)
"Now here I am, about to go on this date." Bell sighed out, hoping that he can make a good impression on Himegami.
Unknown to him, there are three pairs of eyes watching him from close by and within a bush.
"Are we seriously doing this?" Kengo asked whispering.
"Yeah, I kind of feel bad spying on them." Inaho said getting a tiny hurtful feeling from this.
"If you don't want to know what they're doing on their date, we'll go." Haruko suggested.
"No, it's cool." Inaho and Kengo quickly said at the same time.
"That's what I thought." Haruko nodded even though she didn't like doing this, she couldn't help but be curious of what Himegami is gonna do with Bell.
"There she is." Haruko alerted seeing Himegami coming.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Himegami said as she just arrived, and Bell look up seeing her.
"You ready? It is such a beautiful day today. Perfect weather for shopping if you ask me." Himegami believed while the three hiding friends are shocked.
"Wow, she looks so adorable, doesn't she?" Inaho amazed of the outfit Himegami is wearing right now.
"She dressed up for him!" Haruko surprised of how well-looking Himegami is right now.
"Damn! That's such a great look for her!" Kengo complimented.
The reason for the reaction is because of Himegami is now wearing goth-like black outfit with a red shirt underneath and a red bow behind her waist, Bell is blushing from the sight of her in that outfit making him think she was a maid for a second.
"I'm gonna need you to follow close so you don't get lost." Himegami said, but then notice Bell is looking a little still like a statue.
"What's wrong?" Himegami asked.
"Sorry, I was just thinking of how great you look. Such a cute outfit!" Bell complimented bluntly and nervously.
"Yeah, I do, don't I?" Himegami grinned.
"(I knew picking this cute outfit was the right call, I got his face almost turning red.)" Himegami thought giggled.
"Let's go, and for a special treat, I'm going help carry some of the bags while you can do the rest. Will that be acceptable?" Himegami announced with a cute smile.
"Y-Yeah, I'm okay with that." Bell nodded.
Himegami and Bell started walking together to this mall that Bell is about to see for the first time and be surprised of the place too, Haruko and the other two quietly came out of the bushes watching the two head off together.
"Well, this is something else, more than I thought. We have to hurry and stop—I mean, spy on them." Haruko said, not like she is really starting to have feelings for Bell. That's not it at all.
"Yeah, we're right behind you!" Kengo and Inaho agreed.
All three threw off their school uniforms replacing them with cool black outfits almost like they just became spies for a top-secret mission, and that mission is to servile the dating of Himegami and Bell.
"Let the pursuit begin!" Haruko declared.
(Tenbi Mall)
"No way, so the school has its very own mall! Does that even allow for a school to have something like this?" Bell asked shock as he and Himegami just entered the mall.
"You could say Tenbi is a very special case then any normal schools. The government recognizes Tenbi as its own special zone. The laws and economy, yada yada, are all different here. Tenbi is like its own small nation." Himegami explained.
"Its own nation. I think I remember my mom mentioning about this once, that this place was built to help the power users like us to feel safe and comfort from the rest of the world who may still be afraid because we are born different." Bell recalled that little talk before.
"That's right, there are still some who thinks we're monsters and afraid of that big difference." Himegami nodded.
"It's fucking stupid if you ask me." Himegami commented on this.
But then Himegami stop as her eyes gaze upon something she always finds adorable and the only thing that she can love more than anything, a teddy on the other side of the window of a toy store.
"No way." Himegami said as she presses her face on the glass a little to get a closer look.
"That's a limited-edition bear not scheduled for release until next week by Bearly Inc." Himegami surprised to see this teddy bear here.
"(Huh, didn't know Himegami like teddy bears so much.)" Bell thought surprised.
"Everything they said is true. The delicate master craftsmanship, and extra special finishing touches really do make it unbearably adorable. My mission here has become quite clear." Himegami decided.
"So Himegami, do you want that teddy bear?" Bell asked.
"What a dumb question, let's go!" Himegami snapped and march right into the toy store.
"Guess even a serious girl like her can have a soft spot when it comes to cute things like a teddy bear, it's really cute." Bell chuckled as he follows Himegami inside.
Himegami starts dragging Bell around to some of the stores she wishes to go to get some stuff that has got her eyes such as a big bag, cute and cool outfits, good looking shoes that is cool that would look good with the outfits she brought, and a few other accessories as well.
"Hey Bell, is there something you want as well?" Himegami asked, confuses Bell of the question.
"I mean is there anything you want to buy in the mall? This isn't about me shopping for clothes, it can be about you too." Himegami stated.
"Oh, well, when you put it like that." Bell smiled and did some thinking.
The scene changes to Bell and Himegami are inside a manga store for there is one series that Bell really likes and hoping to get the next volume, and then his eyes finally spotted the very manga he has been looking for.
"Here it is, this is what I wanted to get." Bell said as he shows this to Himegami.
"What is it?" Himegami asked.
"It's a series about a boy living in a fantasy world where Gods live alongside humanity and granting them blessings to go explore in a dangerous dungeon that seems to be endless. The main character is working hard to become stronger and become a hero." Bell explained about this series.
"Really now, do the Gods do anything divine?" Himegami asked.
"No, most of their divine powers are sealed away when they join the mortal realm, but they do become leaders of their own group called a Familia." Bell answered.
"I guess the Gods found humanity to be a great race so much that they want to be closer to them." Bell believed.
"Wow, that's really something." Himegami commented as she finds this series interested.
"Oh, I think you would like this one." Bell handed her a manga book.
"What is it?" Himegami asked as she looks at the cover.
Then her eyes widen of shock to see an adorable little girl wearing a very cute black bear suit holding two cute little black and white teddy bears.
"What in all things that is cute is this?" Himegami asked.
"This one is called Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear, it's about a girl who played her favorite fantasy video games until she suddenly wakes up in the world that is like the game and has tone of adventures while the bear suit makes her powerful enough to fight the odds against her." Bell explained.
"By the Gods… I never knew something so cute like this could exist!" Himegami surprised with her cheeks blushing.
"We're getting this too!" Himegami demanded.
"I figured you would be interested in that. Let's get you the first two volumes." Bell chuckled.
Bell also got a few more mangas about adventures like one about a boy being in another world and getting himself a harem as his slaves while exploring dungeons, and it was all paid by Himegami along with Bell's share of the bill.
"I have to say, you certainly bought a lot of stuff." Bell surprised with the boxes he is carrying while Himegami is only carrying a few bags.
"That's something you'll need to be prepare when shopping with girls. Some of us would like to go shopping to get things that may seem a lot." Himegami explained.
"I'll be sure to remember that." Bell nodded.
"But I'm a little worry, are you sure you have enough money to get all of this?" Bell asked concern.
"No need to worry about that, I'm always prepared with money." Himegami assured.
"(Does that mean she comes from a rich family or something?)" Bell thought wondered.
"Anyway, we're heading to the last store of mine for the morning shopping." Himegami informed.
"Then after that, we're getting lunch." Himegami added.
"Okay." Bell smiled.
Meanwhile, the spying squad had been tailing Bell and Himegami since the start of this mall date watching them close but not too close to be spotted, and they are impressed with how Bell was able to make Himegami take an interest to a manga series.
"What now, Miss Vice-President? Our targets have just entered the 11th freaking store." Kengo informed with binoculars looking at Bell and Himegami.
"We're gonna stay here and keep watch." Haruko said.
"It was nice of Himegami to let him go to a store he wants to go." Inaho smiled while eating stuck treats.
"Yeah, guess she's not as picky about shopping than I thought she is, but at least she let him pay half for the mangas they bought." Haruko smiled a little.
"So, what kind of store are they going into?" Haruko asked.
"Uh, you know just a store." Kengo gulped a little.
Haruko is confused of that answer seeing that Kengo is hesitating to give her a straight answer until she looks in the direction they are heading towards, then Haruko realizes one store that Himegami could be going and bringing Bell with her causes her to gasp.
"How did I get myself roped into this?" Bell asked nervously with his cheeks blushing a little.
The store the two just enter is a fabric underwear store for women for both top and bottom which is making Bell feel a little uncomfortable, being in a women store like he is invading some privacy right now.
"Huh, Himegami?" Bell called out.
"What is it?" Himegami responded while looking at some tops.
"A-Are you sure it's okay with me, being a guy, in this store with you?" Bell asked as he looks around nervously again.
"Don't worry, knowing how much of a good little boy you are, I trust you completely. So, you have nothing to worry about." Himegami assured with a small smile.
"(That's easy for you to say.)" Bell thought gulped as he tries to keep himself from looking at the undergarment.
But he ends up looking at Himegami getting a sudden thought of her choosing one of those and wearing them in front of him, which causes his face to blush red.
"Hey, can you tell me which of these colors you like best?" Himegami asked holding up two underwear design.
Bell gasp upon suddenly being ask of which underwear would look great on her.
"I like this pring…" Himegami held up the white one. "But I think this shade is more flattering." Holding up the pink and black one.
"Huh, well…" Bell isn't sure of how to answer that.
"Don't hold back. I can handle it." Himegamie said.
Bell tried thinking of the best possible answer to give to Himegami with his head looking a little steamy and feeling something from the inside.
"I think they both make you beautiful!" Bell shouted a bit.
Himegami suddenly felt like something struck her heart like an arrow as her face is also turning red from the answer.
"Oh, if you think so. Maybe I could get them." Himegami said as she turns around.
"(Holy shit, why does my heart feel all shit crazy just now? He just said one kind thing about me and now it's like my legs are about to give out.)" Himegami thought freaked out.
"(Oh, I hope I didn't sound like I was offending her or anything.)" Bell thought worried.
"Hey, Bell!" Himegami called out as she is about to enter a dressing room, getting the white hair boy's attention.
"I'm gonna go in and try these on and see what I think. Be sure to stay close and don't make a move until I come out." Himegami said before going in.
"O-Okay, I'll just be here." Bell stuttered as he moves closer to the dressing room.
But then Bell would be put to the real test of willpower when lots of other girls comes into the store looking for something new and cute, he is trying his best to mind his own business without having to be reminded of being in a woman undergarment store.
Meanwhile, Himegami is taking off her clothes to try on one that is purple and black like her goth style and hearing some girls coming in.
"Oh dear, I wonder how Bell will be able to handle this now." Himegami giggled in a teasing tone.
"(Still, whenever he uses his power, I get this feeling that it's almost like my brother whenever he uses his power.)" Himegami thought recalled those feelings.
"Oh man, I hope she'll be done in there." Bell exclaimed.
"So, it is you, Bell." A familiar voice said.
Bell looks over from the boxes only to gasp in shock upon seeing that it's none other than his fellow Maken-Ki member and friend, Ais.
"A-A-Ais! What a-are you d-d-doing here?" Bell asked with his face turning red.
"I came here to buy some new underwear because my other ones were getting old." Ais answered.
"May I ask what are you doing here?" Ais asked.
"Well, you see… There's a good explanation…" Bell tried to calm down to tell Ais about his date with Himegami while moving back a little, only to suddenly trip and fell with his head into the dressing room.
"Whoa, what the fuck, Bell!" Himegami gasped.
"I'm so sorry!" Bell apologized exclaiming.
