Pairing: Kyo/ OC (Rimi Takaya)

Chapter Four: First Date

It's all out in the open now,

Kyo loves Rimi, and Rimi loves Kyo,

There's no need to hide,

So they let their shields down,

Because they know,

That they would never do a thing,

To hurt the one they love so well,

And it doesn't matter,

If they look bad on the outside,

Because true love means that

You're beautiful on the inside, too.

Rimi read and re-read the letter five times in all. She blinked in disbelief and then started to hyperventilate. Omigod! Omigod, omigod, omigod! Ahhhh! H-h-he likes me! Omigosh! He's confessing!

After about ten minutes of gaga time during which she was off in lala land, (it's after school by now… she doesn't have time to do this during class) Rimi began to act and think normally again. The first thing she did was run over to her friends and start squealing again.

Kame-chan and Rika were the first to react. " Rimi-chan! What are you squealing so loudly for!" Rika asked. "Yeah! You're killing my ears!" Kame-chan added.

In breathless spurts, Rimi related her story. "He-he wrote me a l-letter! hearts in eyes H-he said th-that he likes m-me too! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'm sooo happy!"

After about two seconds of confusion, all the girls started squealing with her. (boys from far away: what's with girls these days? All they do is gather in big groups and squeal together…)

Kyo is on the other side of the quad where class lets out. He hears a high pitched screaming, and starts walking off, looking for the source of his irritation. (cat ears are very sensitive)

"Omigosh! Rimi, Kyo-kun is walking over here!" one of the girls said. The girls all peeked over their shoulders, then pushed Rimi out in front of Kyo. Unfortunately, (not!) they pushed too hard and Rimi went flying into Kyo, and they ended up on the floor with Rimi sitting on Kyo.

Rimi blushed furiously, and immediately stood up, offering a hand to Kyo to help him sit up. Kyo looked at the blush on Rimi's face, and started to chuckle. Taking the hand that Rimi offered, he stood up and brushed himself off.

"You know, you look so cute when you're blushing like that. (all the other girls have run off to find hiding places where they spy on the couple. Strangely enough, the whole seems to have emptied) You really are, did you know?" Kyo laughed as the cute blush on Rimi's face turned an even deeper shade of pink. (come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the real Rimi blush before…)

"U-um, I'm soo sorry Kyo-kun!" Rimi blurted out, then blushed even harder, looking at her shoes.

Kyo smiled gently at her, and then started to blush too. (what's with these people? They blush too much!) "Rimi-chanwouldyougooutwithmetonight?" he said, a little too fas for her to understand.

Rimi blinked for a minute, until the implications of his harried sentence began to sink in. "Wait a minute… you want to go out with me?"

Kyo nodded, still blushing, only too aware of the eyes staring straight at him.

Rimi smiled a hundred-watt smile, then glomped a startled Kyo, while shouting, "Yes of course!"

Kyo smiled and hugged her back, while telling her when he would come to pick her up. (doesn't she realize that she never gave him her address?) The two planned out the date, and Rimi went tearing home to get ready while Kyo stood there watching her as the quad became noisy once again.

A/n: I'm so so so sooooooooooooooooooo sorry! I know I took forever to d this, and I've been working on projects that I procrastinated on. I'm so sorry! Especially to those that were actually waiting for this story, I really really apologize for the long wait. I'm begging you, please forgive me!
