"So, what'd the boss want us to do again?" The first voice asked from the darkness.
"We've been ordered to guard the prison cells of those that didn't pay their debts to him. He's heard news that some of the prisoner's comrades are planning to break them out. So we have to guard it and assassinate anyone that tries to get near, got that?" The second voice said, emotionless.
"Ok. But do we really have to assassinate them?" Said the first voice, a little unhappy at the thought of assassination. She never really liked the thought of blood on her hands.
The lights glared upon their faces. It was Miki and Kiki.
"Orders are orders, Miki. You either take them or he will kill you! You've been in this business as long as I have; you should know what we have to do. We have to do this, in order to get our…families back," the second voice yelled with anger and discontent, but got softer and soon calmed down.
"Ok. But how much longer do you think we will have to do this, Kiki? I want my family back now!" Miki said with so much sadness in her voice.
"I don't know. I…just don't know," replied Kiki. She looked down at the ground, then up at the prison cell opening. "Come on; let's just get this over with. I don't mind the assassination part; I just want my family back."
Morning came, as Kiki woke up in the apartment. She started grumbling at the sun that was glaring in her eyes. "Ugh, stupid sun! Go away, no more sun, sun is evil," and she pulled the blankets over her and moved around a bit to get comfortable again. Just then, Kiki heard a noise. It was the sound of someone creeping up in her room. It was Miki sneaking up to give Kiki a wake up call. See Miki could never sleep, and when she does she gets up very early. Before Miki could pounce, Kiki yelled with anger, "Not so fast! Don't you even think about jumping on me!" Miki just froze in mid-air.
"Aw, you ruined all the fun. Kiki no fun in the morning," Miki sat down beside Kiki on her bed. She just looked around for a little bit, still waiting for Kiki to wake up.
"Oh, that's right. We have to go somewhere today. Have-to get-motivation-to get-up," Kiki slowly crawled out of bed with her black and red satin pajamas. Miki wanted to know where Kiki had to go so bad. As she walked over to her dresser and got out her clothes. She dragged out a pair of green baggy army paints she bought at Hot Topic not too long ago. They had two straps hanging from the back of then. Then she walked to her other dresser and grabbed her favorite shirt, which had a skull on it. It was a belly shirt and had mesh sleeves. It was completely black except for the skull, which was white. She then put on all her jewelry, which contained mostly spike bracelets and necklaces. Miki just watched patiently thinking about what she meant by 'we have to go somewhere today'.
"Hey, where are we going?" Miki asked getting up and walking to the door.
"Huh? Oh, just somewhere I have to go you're coming with me though, because you dragged me to all those stupid flower shops within a twenty-mile radius of the city! " Kiki said while zipping up her pants.
"But where? Why do I have to go?" Miki started to jump up and down impatiently wanting an answer.
"You'll see." Kiki just left it at that and then motioned for Miki to go on outside and that she would follow.
As they walked down the street, Miki's shirt glimmered in the sunlight. It was white and dark green with flower designs on it that had glitter all over it. Her shirt was sleeveless and was also a belly shirt. She had on green army pants, except they were much tighter than Kiki's and had no straps. They just had little star designs on them, and flared out at the feet. As they walked down the sidewalk, they passed many people who just stared at them. Kiki didn't really care that they were, but Miki got kind of concerned. But she just kept on walking alongside Kiki.
Meanwhile, Omi was at the coffee shop getting the table ready for later on. "Uh, where is Ken? I told him to be here at 12:40," Omi just sat down at the table and waited for everyone to show up. While he was sitting, he couldn't get the thought of Kiki out of his head. He kept imaging her smiling face, and those dark, mysterious eyes she had. He wondered why they were two different colors. But he didn't find this strange; he found it quite, alluring. He started saying things to himself; "I wonder where she lives…what kind of movies does she like? Does she like…me?" Omi was staring into the abyss of the walkway not noticing that Kiki was walking right in front of his view. He quickly noticed she was coming and got up. "Hey, glad you could make it. Ken's not here yet, but he should be soon," he said looking at Kiki with a blushed face.
Miki noticed that Omi was here and knew that Ken would be too. But wherever she looked, Ken was no where to be found. She soon got a sad look on her face.
"Cheer up Miki, Ken will be here soon," Kiki said with an enthusiastic voice.
"KEN! Where!?!" Miki jumped up looking around, but then soon calmed down knowing she probably looked silly doing that. She had a bad habit of this. For some reason she always got over enthusiastic when someone or thing she liked was coming. She did not like that part about her.
"Chill out for a little while, okay? I'll order us some drinks. What do you want, Kiki?" Omi walked over to Kiki's side for a minute.
"Dr. Pepper will be fine, thanks Omi," Kiki said looking into his eyes, then looked down at the ground, blushing.
"And what do you want, Miki?" Omi walked over to Miki's side and looked at her.
"I'll take Dr. Pepper also. Thanks." Miki looked down at the table, then at Omi and smiled.
"Ok, I'll be back in a sec with your drinks," Omi said as he walked off, but looked back once more at Kiki. Then he stopped at the counter, waiting for the tender to take his order.
Kiki and Miki sat down and just started chatting about useless things. These useless things just happened to be about Omi and Ken. Suddenly, Ken walked up to Omi
"So Kiki, do you like Omi?" Miki asked with intent of getting her to confess.
"Yes! But do you like Ken?" Kiki asked but before Miki she was Ken over with Omi.
"Hey, I'm here. Sorry I took so long." Ken said with embarrassment in his voice. His hair was all wind blown, because he had came on his wicked cool bike.
"Finally. They're over there, why don't you go and sit down with them and I'll bring the drinks in a minute, ok?" Omi looked at Ken nodded his head towards the girls, then looked back at the bartender.
"Ok, and I will take a root beer." Ken said as he walked over to the table the girls were sitting at. The first thing he saw when he walked over there was Miki. There where two sets open the one in front of her, and the one to her right. Ken sat down right beside of her, and to her right and said, "Hey, long time no see." He smiled at her then continued, "so, how are the flowers doing?"
Miki's face perked up instantly. Her eyes had a gleaming sparkle in them as she looked at Ken and smiled. Kiki just sat there and shook her head even more. "They're doing fine! Thank you so much for showing me how to dye them like that!" Her tone was not as loud as usual.
"So, why did you need them so bad?" Ken asked with intent of knowing every little thing about her.
"Well, one of my friends, she was getting married and I needed a gift for her. Why not the thing that made us friends. The Green -Tipped Rose. But she did love them. I gave them to her this morning on the way here." Miki said in a sky voice.
"Well, I'm glade I could help you out. If there is any thing..."Ken was cut of because just then, Omi walked up with the drinks. "Here's yours, Kiki…" he handed her the Dr. Pepper, "and here's yours, Miki…and here's yours, Ken," then Omi sat down beside of Kiki.
"Thanks Omi, so…." Ken tried to think of something to say, or what he was saying, but he had totally forgot.
"Oh, Ken and Miki…I don't want to be rude, but could you two go talk over there for a sec, I have to talk to Kiki. Alone." Omi looked at Ken then at Miki with a hinting tone.
"Sure, I guess," Miki started to freak out a bit, but in a good way.
"Yea, sure…" Ken got up out of his chair, then helped Miki out of hers and walked over to the other open table. This table was in the far-left corner. It sat facing the large side glass window. The window that over looked the parks flower's garden and the pond. It was one of those tables that where 3/4th your body height. Miki loved those kinds of tables it made her feel big. Even though she was already taller then Kiki, and Omi. And just about as talk as Ken. Ken and Miki both looked over once more at Omi and Kiki, but soon looked over at each other again.
There was a moment of silence between Omi and Kiki. Kiki just stared into Omi's dark blue eyes, getting lost in his soul. Omi did the same, looking into her red and green eyes. He too, was getting lost within her soul. "Hey, Kiki…why are your eyes two different colors? Usually, someone with eyes like that would have one blue eye and one green. But you, yours are different. Why is that?" Omi looked at her eyes with even more content.
"Well, to tell the truth, I really don't know. People find me strange and weird because of it, and they often stare at me and are afraid of me. But I really don't care. I like my eyes. I like yours too…" she smiled at Omi with a blushing face. He looked at her and smiled too.
"Thanks. But the reason I wanted to talk to you alone was because; I have this other job that sort of cuts into my life a bit. I work with Ken in it. Its called...something I can't tell you right now. But we are hunting down some people that have hostage. So we have to go and get them. I just wanted you to know this; because…well, it's just…" Omi was starting to stutter and couldn't find the right words to say.
"Just what, Omi?" Kiki asked looking sad into his eyes even more.
"Ever since you walked into the flower shop with Miki, I've noticed something different about you. It's like, I've known you for a long time, but never knew it. And the more I think about it, the more I think about you. (Note: that's a given.) I've never seen anyone quite like you before. That's why I asked them to go away for a bit. It's because I want to get to know you more, before I have to go back to my job." Omi stopped, looked down at his drink and swirled his straw around in it. He looked at Kiki and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, she stopped him.
"It was the same with me. I've felt like I've known you for a long time and didn't know it too. And I get what you're trying to say;" Kiki smiled and blushed some more.
"Y…You do?" Omi looked up at her, with a sort of confused look, but happy.
"You want to ask me out, don't you?" Kiki cocked her head a bit while looking at Omi.
"Well, that's if… you want to. I just thought--" Kiki stopped him before he could finish.
"Yea, I will." Kiki nodded her head and smiled at Omi with a truly happy face, which she hasn't felt in a very long time. "But I too, have another job I have to work for. It's a night job, I can't tell you much about it. I'm sorry, but I wish I could," her smile quickly turned to a frown.
"That's great, but it's ok. I understand what mean. We can't tell anyone about our job either. Although I've told it to you, but I feel as if I can trust you. So you don't have to tell me, I won't force you;" he looked down at his drink again, then back at Kiki. Omi started to lean over slowly to Kiki, getting closer to her face. Just then, their lips touched. Kiki was startled at first, but gradually gave in. After a minute or so, they finally let go. "So, um…do you want to go to the park? Then can I walk you home?" Omi set his hand on top of Kiki's that was on the table.
"Su…Sure…" Kiki was cherry red by this time. She looked down at Omi's hand on hers. She felt a sense of contentment. Her heart was racing in her chest. This was a feeling that she had not felt in years. Her loneliness seemed to melt away within his eyes. For once in her life, she had found true happiness.
Meanwhile, as Kiki and Omi were talking, Ken and Miki were having a conversation as well. Ken was sitting close next to Miki, swirling his straw in his drink. Miki was sitting with her legs crossed, and her elbows on the table, as she took her straw and picked up drink in it then let it go in her cup. She couldn't help but keep staring into Ken's eyes. "Miki, do you believe in…true love?" Ken looked at Miki and smiled. "And do you believe in....love at...first site?" Ken stated to get really nevus.
"Um, yea. I do. I believe in it with all my heart. Do you?" Miki started to blush. She didn't really know how to answer that question. So she answered it with the truth.
"Yes, I do. When I was helping you dye those flowers, I had a sense that, well, and I knew something about you. Something that I don't have for other people, or other girls for that matter," Ken slowed down his tone.
"Really? What's that?" Miki questioned, with a tone that was unlike her. Slow, low, and calm. She was starting to blush more.
"I started to feel or more so sense that you have a great amount of love, but no one to give it to. So you have a lot of sadness in your heart as well. I feel the same way, but I never had anyone to give my love to. That's why I think I like kids a lot. They give you love and they don't fight their heart. They tell you plane out if they like you or not. So, I was thinking, after you left. Well, I wasn't thinking but, more so hoping that you where the one I am meant to be with. We feel the same way. Don't we? Ken turned his whole body to Miki. "I wanted to ask you…will you, go on a date with me? Today? We can go to the park." He touched her hands softly.
"You're…asking me out? Um…well, ok!" Miki seemed excited at first, then calmed down and grasped his hands also. For some reason unknown to her, she didn't feel alone anymore. She knew that someone loved her. She felt warm inside, and she felt…happy. "Ken, I must tell you.... I feel the same way as you do. I want to love someone with all my heart. But I never can. I'm too afraid of being left alone, or getting forgotten. That's why I don't so much a fiction for many guys. But, you. You are so different. I'm not scared of showing how much I like you. And I do think and hope that we are meant to be with one another." Miki smiled a sweet smile that Ken could not help but fall in love with. He smiled back but then it turned in to a frown.
"Miki, I must tell you. I have another job besides the flower shop. I work with for a group of secret agents." He could not bring himself to say he killed people. "And I have a mission tonight, which concerns life or death. So if I don't make it.... I just wanted to tell you now that…I.... I…love you;" he leaned over towards Miki. She leaned back a bit and turned her head to the window. Ken looked sad but knew she had good reason to do this. He put his arm around her. And turned her head back to himself.
"Miki, why?" He asked with sadness in his voice. Miki just looked at him with tears in her eyes. Ken was taken back at this and wiped them away as they started to roll down her face.
"Ken I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I don't think I can take another loss of someone I love." Meaning she could not take the pain of someone being taken from her. Like her family. "I love you too. But if it means you will leave then I won't love you. The tears kept coming and Ken kept pushing them away.
"Miki, listen to me." Miki looked at him clear in the eyes; he took his hands and cupped her face in them. "I will not leave you. Never!" With Ken's words she felt comfort. She smiled and rubbed the last of the tears out of her eyes. "You know Miki; I still owe you a kiss." Ken said this as he lined in. His hands still holding her face. Miki put her arms around him. He moved in even closer. Right before their lips touched. He said "I would never leave you." Then their lips locked in a sweet kiss, of true love.
"Ahem, are you guys ready to go?" Omi and Kiki walked up to them. Startled, they jumped and looked up at them both.
"Uh, yea. We're ready. Ready Miki?" Ken got up and held his hand out to help Miki up.
"Yea, I'm ready," she blushed even more and grabbed his hand and got up. As they all walked out and to the park Omi took Kiki's hand in his then he kissed her hand. Kiki blushed but just smiled. She looked at him and then laid her head on his shoulder. At the same time Miki and Ken where holding hands as well she had not let go of his hand sense he took it in the shop. It was kind of weird to see Ken and Miki compared to Kiki and Omi. Even though their heights where different, but with in reason to one another. Miki's hand was so small compared to Ken's. Miki almost had to hold his fingers instead of his hand. Kiki's hand and Omi's hand where the perfect guy-girl hands.
"Kiki, do you want to ditch them and go somewhere on our own?" Omi asked as he looked back and winked at Kiki.
"Well, I guess. If you don't try any thing!" Kiki yelled. With that they where gone. Leaving Ken and Miki to one another.
"I wonder where they went? I guess I don't care too much as long as you are with me Ken." Miki said with a smile. She stopped and turned to Ken and hugged him feeling so warm and happy in his arms.
"I will stay with you forever." Ken smiled and put his hands in Miki's hair. Taking the clip she had out. Her hair fell to the side of her face. Miki looked at him; being made at the fact her hair was down. She loved long hair but hated it down. Ken just smiled and kissed her. She forgot all about the hair clip now.
Mean while Omi and Kiki where walking down a hidden path in the park. Soon they stopped and just looked in to each other's eyes. Happy to be alive and with one another. Omi put his arms around Kiki's waist and pulled her to him. Feel so great to be with him Kiki did not think and put her around him and sliding them up the back of his shirt. Slowly they kissed.
"Ken you know I have always wanted to do something..." Miki carried off.
"What is it?" Ken asked with joy of what it might be.
"I have always wanted to lay under a big tree in a nice park with someone and fall a sleep there." Miki started to blush feeling stupid. Ken just looked at her and smiled.
"Very well, We will. I know a nice tree. And I think you will like it." Ken took Miki's hand, and ran with her to the place he had in mind. It was on the top of a hill overlooking one of the ponds. It was covered in flowers and beauty. Ken sat down and Miki came with. He moved closer to her, and whispered in her ear.
"Go on and lay down, and go to sleep." With a kiss on her cheek she did. She was so happy and comfortable she fell right to sleep. Ken looked at her and smiled moving her bangs out of her eyes. He kissed her again.
Omi and Kiki were doing the same. Sleeping soundly right beside one another. Kiki had her arms pulled up close to her as she laid in Omi's arms. His arms where resting nicely on her back. Like that they stayed until the rain came.
