Chapter Four
"Jin-chan!" Nani hugged Jin's arm as they left the movie theatre. "You're walking too fast!"
"Jin-chan?" He raised an eyebrow and gave a chuckle. "This is only our first date."
"I call everyone chan. Everyone except Hana. She doesn't like it when I say chan."
"Oh, really?" Jin smiled allowing Nani to cling to him. "Well, I don't mind one bit."
"Good," She snuggled her face into his sleeve. Jin had worn Yusuke's jacket, and yet to Nani, it still smelled like Jin. She buried her face into that smell and was lost for a few moments. Jin looked down, and saw her face go red.
"Nani? Why did your face turn color? Are you embarrassed?"
"No, Jin-chan."
"Are you sick? Do you have a fever?"
"No, Jin-chan."
"Have you been crying?"
"No, Jin-chan."
He stopped, puzzled for a minute. He couldn't understand. She looked healthy, and didn't seem sad in any way, so why was her face so warm and red? Jin took her chin gently between his hands and made her look at him. "Nani, why is your face red then?"
"It's red because I'm happy, Jin-chan." Nani hugged his waist tightly. "I've never been this happy in a long time." Jin felt a sliver of air escape him and his face went a little red too. He hugged her back, when suddenly, the tiniest sob escaped from her. Jin felt nervous; had he hurt her?
"Nani? Are you alright?"
Nothing was heard.
"Did I hurt you?"
"No, Jin-chan."
"Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm so happy with you."
"Tears? When you're happy? I don't understand."
"You don't need to understand. Just stay here, and everything will be fine."

"Jesus, she's just so teeny and fragile. It's like if I touch her, she'll explode."
"She's that sensitive?"
"No! Well, she's not sensitive, exactly. She just cares so much. I've never seen anything like it. To put it bluntly, she's the moral opposite of you, Yusuke."
"Oh, really?" Yusuke raised an eyebrow. "And that would be?"
"Delicate, beautiful, and perfect."
"Gee, thanks."
"It's true."
"I think it's sweet." Kurama emerged from the kitchen with a plate of sushi. "Ew, Hiei, will you take the fish?"
"Since when are you a vegetarian?"
"Since today. Here, Hiei." Kurama handed the salmon to Hiei, who stared at it for a moment, then gave it to Jin.
"So, I don't know what to do with her. I couldn't have sex even if I wanted to. I turn back into a demon. What if my power got out by mistake? Or even worse, my berserk? I don't want to scare or hurt her in any way." Jin chewed on the fish gingerly.
"Try wooing her." Kurama spoke up with a mouthful of rice. "Give her flowers and chocolate. Make her feel special. Write her a poem."
"Well," Jin retrieved a piece of paper from his back pocket. "I have been working on something for her. Here goes:
"You're as tender as beef
And as warm as pastrami
As lovely as chicken
I love you, Nani."
Jin looked up expectantly. "So, what'd you think?"
Another one of those strange silences fogged up the room. A rice ball slipped from Kurama's hands broke the faces of shock into screams and outbursts.
"What the hell!?"
"Beef? Pastrami? Chicken?"
"Can't you stop thinking about meat for three minutes!?"
"You don't like it?" Jin glanced around.
"Let's just skip the poem. Buy her some chocolates and roses, then go to her house and surprise her." "Alright."Jin stared at the ground, sullen and forlorn.
***** "Nani?" Jin opened the door, surprised that it was unlocked. "Are you home?" "I'm in the shower! Be out in a minute." Shower? Jin hadn't heard of that before. He followed the sound of her voice. "Are you in here?" "Yes, just a moment! Let me rinse." Rinse? Jin was getting confused. He opened the bathroom door, almost choking on the steam the flooded him. How could Nani be in here? He noticed a tall, box-like thing in the corner, and saw her slim outline. "Nani?" He pulled the door to the shower open. "What? What is it?" Nani glared at him, but the icy stare turned into a mixture of elation and shock. Jin gazed at her, the warm water and soapsuds pouring over her naked, perfect body. The long, black hair flowed to her ankles when it was wet, and looked like a black river before him. Her porcelain skin covered in the drops of water made his eyes grow large with excitement. Nani's eyes softened, making her blue eyes seem like the calm ocean after the storm. She placed her wet hands on his shoulders and pushed him closer to her. "You know I love you, right Jin? Even though we met, I can feel you. I want to give myself to you, because I feel that's all I can do. Do you feel the same?" Jin stood there, the water flowing over his face and body. He couldn't say yes, because he could loose her forever, but if he said no, her feelings would be hurt and things would never be the same. What should I do? Jin thought standing in the pouring water. What the hell should I do?
