pt. 2 "Match Maker"

Kiri thought another moment. "Then we'll just have to figure out what he thinks!"

Touya went from red to a sour green. "We?"

"Well, unless you think you can do it by yourself."

Touya didn't answer, which Kiri took as a no. "I didn't think so, so I'll be your match maker!"

"Uh...Kiri, it's okay, you don't..."

She cut him off. "It's okay, Touya, I want to! It'll be fun!"

He was afraid she'd say that.

"And maybe having a boyfriend will force you to lighten up," she added as an afterthought.

He sighed; no turning back now.

And without saying anything else, Kiri ducked through a curtain of vines to her kitchen.

About halfway through their meal, Kiri decided to re-bring-up Jin.

"So, Touya, what's Jin's favorite restaurant?"

"I don't know," he answered with a shrug and slurped up another spaghetti noodle.

Kiri gaped. Then, one of the many vines in her kitchen opened a drawer and brought Kiri a pad of paper and a pen. She muttered a thank you to the plant and started scribbling on the paper.

"Do you know his favorite food at least?"

"Chocolate," Touya answered.

Kiri grinned; she knew that too, and scribbled something more on the paper.

After several more questions, she stopped and handed the pad and pen back to the vine, which put it away. "I think that's all I'll need for right now.

Touya finished his spaghetti and watched as Kiri rummaged through all the drawers in her kitchen, looking for something.

"Damn it, I had them three days ago," he heard Kiri mutter as she dug through drawers in an adjacent room. "Found them!"

Kiri returned with two slips of paper in her hand. She gave them to Touya.

Touya immediately recognized the name printed in ornate lettering as a more expensive Japanese steakhouse.

"They were originally for me and Souji," she explained, "But Souji has to say more than 'go away' to me before I want to use them. And that's going to be a while." She winked at him. "And you need them more anyway."

Touya's pale complexion went considerably paler at the idea of Jin in a high society restaurant. "Kiri are you sure..."

Again, she didn't let him finish. "Touya, don't worry about it; they were going to expire before I could get Souji to go with me anyway. Take them."

That hadn't been what he meant, but once Kiri had her mind set to do something, there was no turning her around. There was no use in trying to convince Kiri that the excitable wind master and a five star restaurant might not get along very well.

He sighed, "Thanks, Kiri."

"No problem."

After an awkward silence while Kiri washed dishes Touya decided it was time for him to leave. "I'm gonna head home now, Kiri."

"Alright, see ya," she answered with a stretch and yawn as she walked him to the door. "Oh, and good luck, Touya-kun."
