White Day Darlings
By: Amethyst Beloved
Dedicated to everybody who took the time to review. It makes writing a whole lot easier.
Chapter 3: Memories and Kisses
~*~*~*~*~
Chiharu Mihara knocked on Takashi Yamazaki's door and waited. Finally, it opened. She smiled.
"Hello Koishii," she said to the little five-year-old girl standing in front of her. "Is your brother home?"
Koishii grinned. She adored Chiharu and already loved her like a sister. Sometimes she combed her own black hair in pigtails just to be like her favourite person.
"Tak told me to tell you that he's going to be down in five minutes," she informed. Chiharu smiled at the nickname she had for her older sibling. Before she could respond, Takashi came clambering down the stairs, and didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Chiharu and hold her in a loving hug.
"Happy White Day, Chiharu," he murmured in her ear making both girls giggle. He raised an eyebrow at his little sister.
"What are you giggling about, Koi?" he asked with a smirk.
Koishii let out another fit of giggles before she could answer him.
"You look so silly!" she squealed clutching her stomach. "You act funny when you're around Chiharu!"
Takashi swiftly broke away from Chiharu and went to pick up Koishii to keep her off the ground.
"Just wait until you fall in love," he growled playfully. "Then we'll see who's the silly one."
Chiharu smiled at the scene. Takashi was always good with kids, and she couldn't wait to have their own. The thought made her blush furiously. Okay, maybe she could wait.
"Are you ready to go, Takashi?" Chiharu asked sweetly. "I've got the whole day planned. This is going to be a great White Day."
The seventeen-year-old placed his sister on the ground and patted her on the head.
"I don't want you to cause any trouble now," he warned. "If you're good, I'll give you a surprise."
Koishii's face lit up. Tak always had the best surprises.
"By you two, have fun!" she cried out pushing the couple out of the door. "Come back soon!"
Takashi and Chiharu laughed as they left, but not before tugging playfully on Koishii's pigtails. Then they were off.
"So where are you taking me?" asked Takashi innocently. "You're place?"
Chiharu blushed at his brazenness, but she couldn't argue that they've been spending more and more time together alone.
"The opposite, actually," she began. "Do you remember all the places that we use to go to as kids? It's been so long that I think we should go visit everywhere again just for fun. You know, make a day out of it."
"Does this day include kissing?" he whispered in her ear with a smile. Chiharu laughed as she turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then she went on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on either side of his mouth.
"What day wouldn't?" she asked as she leaned forward to caress his lips with hers. "Why don't we head to the park?"
~*~(Penguin Park)~*~
Takashi pushed Chiharu on the swings and realized that they were never too old to play. Her laughter reminded him all the times they shared together as children. He knew he was lucky to have someone like her in his life.
"You want to know what that slide always reminded me of?" she asked all of a sudden. Takashi stopped pushing her to turn her around to face him.
"Enlighten me," he said as he sat down on the sand and rested the side of his head on Chiharu's lap. When she started to run her fingers absentmindedly through his hair, he let out a content sigh.
"It was that day when I asked you to come shopping with me and I picked up this really cute penguin toy," she began. "Then you told me that Emperor Penguins grew up to five feet and eight inches tall."
Takashi smiled at the memories.
"Then when you said that I was lying, I just told you that it was the truth," he said.
"After that you said when they say emperor you know they have to be big," Chiharu continued. "And that the biggest ever sighted was over nine feet."
The teen looked up at the girl he loved and grinned. Who would have known she remembered that day? Well, something strange did happen.
"So that girl we saw that looked like Sakura, wasn't Sakura?" he asked. His friend would never push down a display of toys, put it looked so much like her.
"Nope, the other day Sakura told me that one of the cards that was called Mirror was pretending to be her," she said. "Sometimes I still can't believe that we live in a world of magic."
Takashi lifted his head up and tugged Chiharu off the swings, and she nestled herself in his lap.
"I believe in magic," he said softly as he rubbed Chiharu's back in circles. "There has to be some explanation why you put up with my stories, so I guess I can pin it on the supernatural."
Chiharu's laughter tinkled as she stood up and pulled Takashi up with her.
"Come on! I have somewhere else to take you," she said. "First we have to pick up some things, and then we'll be off."
Takashi let Chiharu take his hand to lead. He had no idea where they were off to, but he'd go anywhere if it meant kisses.
~*~(Beach)~*~
"We should come here more often, because you look gorgeous!" Takashi exclaimed when Chiharu came back from changing in to a yellow swimsuit. "However, I think you look beautiful all the time."
Chiharu blushed. She had to admit that he was smooth. Well, it was time to thank him for his compliments. She handed him a bottle of sun tan lotion and made herself comfortable on a towel. Takashi looked back and forth from her and the bottle, and then he blushed.
"Y-you don't m-mind?" he stuttered as he knelt down beside Chiharu on the towel.
"What kind of fiancé would I be if I didn't?" she asked harmlessly. "I'm ready when ever you are."
Takashi poured some of the lotion on his hand and kissed Chiharu lightly on the shoulders before he started to slowly rub her back. When that was done, he made her sit in between his legs as he rubbed the lotion on her stomach and started to drop soft kisses on her neck. Chiharu stretched her neck so he could have more access. Nothing felt better at the moment as she was in pure bliss. Takashi turned her around so she was facing him and sitting on her lap. His kisses traveled up to her jaw, visited her cheeks, and finally ended on her waiting lips. Chiharu moaned as Takashi deepened the kiss; sun tan lotion long forgotten. He leaned forward to rest her back on the towel as they continued to kiss. When the finally broke away, they looked in each other's eyes and exchanged impish grins.
"Someone's going to catch us one day," Chiharu said simply. "Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"It doesn't matter because you're mine and I'm yours," he stated stubbornly as he lifted Chiharu off her feet. "Would you like to go swimming?"
"Sounds like fun," Chiharu replied as brushed the sand off her skin. "Do you remember when we came here in the fourth grade?"
"That was a really fun field trip," Takashi reminisced. "Didn't I come up with a great story about beach volleyball?"
"I think it began with starting long ago in Hawaii where they would play on the beach with coconuts," she informed.
"Coconuts? How did I ever come up with that?" he asked dumfounded. "Aren't they too heavy?"
"That's what Sakura asked!" Chiharu laughed. ""You just told her that whenever they would play beach volleyball, there would always be a lot of injuries."
"Oh well, maybe that wasn't such a great story after all," Takashi said sheepishly. "What else happened that day?"
"After asking Syaoran if he wanted to play volleyball, he swam away, you started telling another story about long swims," Chiharu began. "You said that long ago in the Edo period the samurai started long swims."
"Oh, I remember that," Takashi recalled. "Then you took my hand and dragged me away! You know, that was one of my favorite parts of telling stories. I knew that you wanted to be alone with me!"
Chiharu splashed water on him playfully. Still, they both knew it was true.
~*~(Tsukimine Shrine)~*~
After the beach, Chiharu though it would be best to take Takashi somewhere peaceful. There wasn't a more serene place in Tomoeda than the shrine. The couple was walking hand in hand on the grounds until they got to the flowers. There were all kinds, but in their opinion, the Freesias and the Manju Shages were the prettiest.
"I can still remember the one time Syaoran wasn't fooled by my lie, um, I mean story," Takashi stumbled even if he knew that she knew the truth. "It was about convenient charms."
"That's right," said Chiharu. "You said that charms began in China, where they'd take a good luck charm and seal it in a bag. You should have stopped there because that could of passed."
"Why stop when I was already on a roll?" he asked. "Everyone believed me!"
"Because then you said that the ancient seals were incredibly big and that they were about ten yards long," she continued. "Then you said that they were so hard to carry around that they made bags for them."
"It wasn't until I said that the bags were also big and everyone had to drag them around," Takashi said. "That was when Syaoran claimed that he never heard that, and I figured out it wouldn't work with him knowing about China."
"I still thought it was funny," Chiharu comforted, making Takashi surprised. "What? You thought I didn't like your stories?"
"I guess that was unexpected," he confessed. "But I guess it does make sense in the end."
"It's one of the reasons why I love you," she said. "Your kisses are wonderful too."
Takashi smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and began to nibble delicately on the contour of her ear. Chiharu always smelled like the sweetest Freesias flowers, and sometimes she was so irresistible.
Chiharu smiled as her enjoyed the feeling of Takashi's mouth on her ear. It was as if nibbling her ear was a habit that he never got tired of. She enjoyed it too. He was always gentle.
Takashi moved away from her ear and moved towards her kiss-swollen lips making himself as tender as possible. Kisses were definitely one of the sweetest parts of being in a relationship. What could be better?
When they broke away, Takashi reached over to pluck a Freesia from its stem. After twirling the flower with his fingers, he carefully tucked it in Chiharu's mahogany brown hair. He always loved her hair. It always glistened in the light, but it always looked the most beautiful in the sunlight. He loved to run his fingers through her silky tresses because it was always soft.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked him quietly, not wanting to disturb the peace.
"Oh, just about how much I love you," he answered with a smile.
"I have one more thing to show you," she suddenly said. "Come on, I don't want us to miss it!"
Takashi grinned. What more did she have planned.
~*~(Takashi's House)~*~
"You're back!" exclaimed Koishii as her brother and future sister-in-law came through the door. "Okay Tak, where's my surprise?"
Takashi patted his sibling on the head.
"Now, now Koi," he began. "Where's your patience?"
Koishii cross her little arms and frowned, but she couldn't hide her laughter when Takashi started to tickle her.
"All right! I'll wait!" she finally said so she wouldn't be tickled any longer.
"Come with me on the back porch, Takashi," Chiharu said as she took his hand. "You'll have your surprise soon."
As soon as the couple stepped outside, a plane was heard from above. When Takashi looked up, he couldn't believe his eyes. The plane was flying in the sky with a huge banner at its tail that read:
HAPPY WHITE DAY, TY! LOVE YOU! CM
"Wow," was all he said as he read the message. "You did that for me?"
Chiharu smiled as she wrapped her arms around Takashi's torso after closing his jaw.
"Only the best for you, darling," she murmured, nuzzling his neck. "Happy White Day."
