Chapter Seven: A Date with Tamao

Me and Tamao arranged the date the next day. We would go to a movie, then to a romantic dinner, where we would exchange gift and eat cake.

It was lunchtime when I realised - the jewelry wasn`t in my pillow anymore! I searched all over the house, (except for bedrooms) and Ifound some of the strangest things, like a slinky, a cow doll, a box of film, and a boxfull of milk bottles. Eventually, I panicked!

I started searching the couch again when it plopped on my head. I looked up and saw my fiance.... err... younger sister.

"Here, brother dear, I`ll just return these. It was fun watching you squirm for a while, but..." she said.

"Anna! Do you know what that IS?! That`s something important! What if Tamao-"

"Who's at the door..." she said, pointing to her left. I looked, and she was dressed in another thing that surprised me.

She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt that had "Yoh!" written on the front, and a pair of green shorts. Her hair, instead of rushing away from her face, was pulled back. She wore a bit of lipstick, not much, just a little to increase her colour. She smiled, and I was blown away.

She grabbed my hand, and led me to the car, which she would drive, seeing as I'd forgotten how. She and I started talking.

"So, Yoh, what movie should we see? I was thinking the adventure one... but, if you'd like something else..." Tamao said. I couldn`t tell whether he was just saying that, or if she really did want to see it. I agreed anyways.

As we sat in the theatre, we whispered to eachother about things. The movie, eachother, ourselves, and other things. After the movie, Tamao was cheering, I was clapping, and everyone else was talking, heatedly discussing the hero, and the adventure we just saw.

"I think the rope scene should have been longer," Tamao said. She had loiked scenes where there had been more action, like the three swordfights, the rope-swinging scene, the gun scene and the car chase.

"I liked it too..." I replied "But the scene that should have been lengthened was the bridge scene." I had like the dialogue scenes, like the phone threat, the hero`s dreams, and the confrontation on the bridge in the storm. "And besides, Kana barely got any screen time!" I was, of course, talking about the leading actress who, bedecked in a skirt and t-shirt, still managed to deal with action.

"Well, overall, I prefer my anime to these live-action American movies," Tamao said, wrapping a hair around a finger.

"Hey, maybe sometime there'll be an anime about shamans!" I said, half-joking.

We returned to the car, and Tamao and me drove to the fancy restaurant. As we sat down, I told Tamao I wanted to show her something.

"Go ahead, Yoh," she said, amused. I paused for a second, my hands whirred, and suddenly a bouquet of roses was in my empty hand. "For you," I saqid simply, handing it to her. She blushed, and thanked me graciously. 'Ow... My leg hurts- who knew that rosethorns hurt so much?' I thought to myself.

As we ate, we talked. We discussed everything from politics, to video games, to pets. We talked for hours. Then, as the cake came, we both pulled out our gifts.

"You first," we both said simultaniously. "No, you first," we both said again. We agreed to open them at the same time.

Mine was a silver charm braclet, completely filled with little hammer tokens. The note said, "So you don`t have to lug that heavy hammer around. Love, Tamao."

Across the table, Tamao was speechless. Her eyes were shining, her mouth in a grin. "Arigatou gozaimasu!!" we both yelled, again together, as we jumped out of out seat and hugged.

After that, it was quite calm. We ate our cake, again chatting about random topics, until we were full. We headed home, and we stood at the door. Tamao looked awfully frightened, and I started, "Tamao, look, we don`t have to-" Suddenly, I was in heaven. A soft pair of lips toched mine, and the world exploded. We, after about three seconds of the kiss, shifted into more comfortable kissing osition, and it lasted almost a minute.

"Eh... Pretty good for our first real kiss, right, Yoh?" Tamao said, flustered.

"Yeah, I`d say so..." I said, trailing off. She ran to her car, and drove off, as I wandered to my bed to ponder things.

I like Anna, but I like Tamao, but I like Anna, but I like Tamao... I laid on my bed, wavering back and forth, until sleep relieved me of my mind-wanderings.

~ I opened the door, and everyone was cheering. "Come on Yoh, sit down!" said Horohoro, "It`s a joyous occasion!" he yelled a bit too joyously, and I realised whe was covering up sadness.

"Yeah... Ummm... Me and Ren are getting engaged!" yelled Pirika, happier than Yoh had heard her before. "He proposed tonight! And when you left, we thought you might as well be kept out until the party was started, so we told manta to wait at least until his beeper beeped to bring you home. Anna had to keep you off the party so you'd be surprised! Are you?" Pirik said. Yoh fainted.~
