An Evening of Romance
Evening had fallen again, and outside the Honky Tonk, an impatient chibi Ban was waiting for Himiko to arrive. Wearing a rather nice tuxedo he and Hevn had purchased earlier during the day, he looked rather fetching. And with his hair down (rather than that spiky, unruly do that he usually wore), he was a sight for the ladies.
"I can't believe she dumped me..." Ban muttered. "And to think I made an excuse with Hevn just to get this expensive tux!" He took a light from his pocket and began puffing on the tobacco.
He was just about to take another puff of smoke when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Himiko wearing a black dress that hugged her curvaceous body tightly, emphasizing her nice figure (and full breasts) to her date.
"Are you ready?" Himiko asked with a smile.
Ban couldn't help but stare at her and drool, but he clapped a hand to his forehead and awkwardly said, "Y-yeah! Let's go!" He opened the door for Himiko and they both got in.
"So where are we going tonight?" Himiko asked Ban as she put on her seatbelt.
Ban did the same and threw the cigarette out of the window. "I'm taking you tonight to Ma Maison. It's a really nice, classy French restaurant in the city."
Himiko closed her eyes and said, "Mmm...French! Ou la la! Sounds good!"
Ban smiled at her and started the car. "I know you like French food, so I decided to make our...erm...first date special."
Himiko fluttered her eyes and said, "Oh Ban, you know, for a jerk, you can be so romantic at times."
Ban turned chibi as he drove the car with smoke coming out of his ears and muttered, "I'm trying hard not to be a jerk tonight so don't remind me!" He turned back to normal and unconsciously made contact with Himiko's fingers as he attempted to shift the gears.
Himiko blushed and said, "Oh! I...sorry!" She removed her hand from the vicinity of the driving stick and thought, 'I'm not sorry actually. Do that more often Ban!'
Ban shifted the gears and thought, 'Why should you be sorry? I thought you liked that.' He continued driving until he reached the parking space of an extremely opulent building.
"Wow! This must be expensive!" Himiko exclaimed as she looked at the building above. "How are you going to pay for dinner tonight?" She looked at Ban and he just smirked and adjusted his glasses.
"Oh no! You're not thinking of using Jagan are you? Ban! You can't do that! This is a date, not a mission," she began barking when Ban suddenly put his thumb over her lips.
"Hush. I'm not going to use Evil-Eye on them. I just got paid a million yen for that last mission and decided to spend some with you," he told her nonchalantly. He went out of the car and opened the door for Himiko. "Shall we?"
Himiko let out an affirmative grunt and took Ban's arms as he brought her to the restaurant. It was an absolutely classy establishment, with men in suits and women in dazzling dresses to boot. After the woman in front had showed them to their seats, they received their menus and began scanning the sheet of paper for their dinner.
"So what are you having?" Ban asked Himiko.
Deep in thought, yet not quite, Himiko answered, "Uh, I'll have the Sole poached in the white wine butter sauce. You?"
Ban licked his lips in anticipation of some good meat and said, "I'm having the French pepper steak with wild mushroom ragout (sauce)." He pushed a button in the middle of the table to signal a waiter to come and take their orders. When the waiter was done, Ban faced Himiko and watched her place bottles of perfume inside her handbag.
"What?" Himiko said as she noticed him watching her. She didn't notice the blush creeping on her face.
Ban rested his chin on one hand and stared at her. "I think it's cute how you handle those perfume vials..." he mindlessly said.
Himiko chuckled and said, "Ban, I always handle my perfume vials like this! There's nothing so cute about that." 'Say it again Ban! What else is cute about me? My hair? Oh! Maybe I should grow it longer! Oh he looks so handsome tonight! Wait, he always looks handsome! And hot! Ah! Shut up brain!'
"Everything about you is cute..." Ban continued as if he weren't thinking. Himiko blushed redder and thought, 'Yes! He said I'm cute! But isn't that vain? Say more Ban...what about my eyes? How do you like purple eyes? I know your favorite color is purple.'
Ban moved his hand closer to hers and took it in his own, caressing her palms softly with his fingers. "Himiko, do you think we can be more than friends?" he finally asked after hours of wondering whether he should declare his true feelings for her.
Himiko looked back at his sapphire blue eyes and answered, "Ban, you don't know how long I've been longing for you to ask that. I...PERVERT!!!"
She slapped Ban's face when she felt Ban's hand exploring regions which he shouldn't be touching (ahem...her inner thigh). "Ow! Himiko! Why did you...ooh! Who's that? Himiko look!" he said when he saw a beautiful, slender, young woman entering the restaurant. Wearing a sleeveless white dress that covered her from top to bottom, her tall figure only accentuated her wonderful looking curves.
Himiko looked over to where Ban was looking and muttered, "Pff!! It's gay man and his boyfriend." She pointed to the door and Ban noticed Jubei accompanying the pretty lady.
"Ah! That's thread spool?!? What's he doing here? I thought he doesn't know how to eat fine dining!" he said as he averted the direction from which they were going.
"Ban, come on, let's just talk and concentrate on our meal," she said as the waiter brought their food to the table. After she took her first bite, Himiko exclaimed, "Mmmm! This is good! How's your steak Ban?"
Ban was eating his steak, masticating the deliciously flavored, twice dead cow in his mouth, but was staring at Himiko's body. "Yummy."
Himiko noticed that he was looking at her breasts, blushed and said, "Ban, I...oh stop looking at me like that! Look at your steak! That's yummy! Not my...oh I don't want to say it!"
Ban took a forkful of potatoes and said, "Whatever."
After a few minutes of silence and food chomping, Himiko said, "Uh Ban, I'm sorry."
Ban jerked his head on his side and said, "For what?"
Himiko sighed and answered, "For hitting you." She slowly brought her leg against Ban's and began rubbing it with hers. "Will you forgive me?" she seductively asked him.
Ban rolled his eyes and shut them tightly, letting out a soft moan. "Y-ye- s! Himiko!" His eyes shot open and he placed his hand over Himiko's leg. "Later, okay?"
Himiko giggled and said, "Okay." When both of them had finished their dinners, the waiter brought the pastry cart over to their table. They didn't see the koto string tied to one of the wheels.
"So after dessert, where do we go to next?" Himiko asked Ban as he chose Himiko's favorite fruit tart and an elegant chocolate cake for himself.
"You want to go to your apartment?" he asked her.
Himiko beamed and answered, "Sure!"
Ban smiled gave her the tart. "Any plans for the night?" he asked her with a wink.
Himiko smiled and poked him in the ribs with her foot. "Naughty!"
They both laughed and slowly ate their desserts as they talked more about the evening.
A few tables away, Kadsuki drew the string back from the cart being pushed around by a well-disguised Emishi and took out his cellphone. "Shido-kun, they are going to Himiko-san's apartment. Ready your crows okay?"
On the other end of the line, Shido smiled mischievously and said, "Okay."
Kadsuki made another call and said, "Hevn-san, are the cameras ready?"
