Chapter 1: It can't be.
Kira and Rei, happily married, and starting to think about little one's running around the house. (No Kira's not pregnant they are just pondering the idea)The couple has been married for a year now, and they couldn't be happier. Or so they thought.
"Rei! Rei! Where are you? We were supposed to be their half an hour ago. What is taking you so long?"
"Do I really have to wear this tie?" asked Rei as he pulled on the silk fabric strangling him.
"Yes, we're going to dinner with Harumi and Tatsuya so we have to look our best." Kira said.
"But-"
"No 'buts'. It's just for one night, I don't think it'll kill you." she smiled
"Fine." Rei bent down and gave Kira a light kiss on the forehead and headed into the bathroom, so he could finish getting ready.
The two set off down the street toward the restaurant where Harumi and Tatsuya were patiently waiting. When they got to their table Harumi and Tatsuya didn't even acknowledge their presence. They went about their conversation like no one was there. Soon a waiter came and took their orders and gave them their drinks. But, Harumi and Tatsuya were still being quiet as a mouse. Kira caught on quickly to their game of 'silent treatment' but Rei was starting to get irritated. So, before he lost his temper or something Kira quickly spoke up.
"We know we're late, Rei had a fuss with his tie. We're sorry."
"Well, I guess its okay, we can forgive you. Right Tatsuya?" asked Harumi.
"I donno. These two were pretty late. They'll just have to make it up to us." Tatsuya looked at Harumi and she instantly knew what he was thinking.
"What?" asked Rei. "What kind of friends are you, so we were late what's the big deal?" said Rei. He looked at Kira who was smiling. But her smile quickly faded as it turned into puckered lips making a puppy dog face. He looked at her and smiled to himself, he couldn't resist 'the face'.
"So what do you want?" Tatsuya looked to Rei and smiled.
"You'll see."
The previous waiter came back with their dinners and everyone dug in. Light conversation began as the four friends were happily stuffing their faces. But, little did they know that someone unexpected was watching them. After everyone was done eating the waiter came and took away their empty plates and the four resumed their conversation. When it was over Tatsuya brought up the matter of the couple who was late, and how they owed them.
"Okay, Rei. You want to know how to make up your late arrival?" asked Tatsuya.
"Hmm. What is it?" After he spoke the waiter came back with the bill and handed to Tatsuya, who happily handed it to Rei.
"What? You want us to pay for the meal? That's not fair."
"We know, that's why since it wasn't Kira's fault both of you were late you'll be the one to fit the bill. But hey, I'm a good friend, I'll leave the tip." Tatsuya smiled at his words. Rei on the other hand wasn't smiling, instead his brow was scrunched up and his mouth was a little distorted as he looked at the bill. Their dinner had cost $154.75. That was more than Rei had brought with him. He leaned over to Kira and whispered. "Do you have a hundred bucks on you?"
"What!" she yelped.
"Shhh! You're louder than you were in high school. Now, I asked if you had a hundred dollars on you?"
"No. I only brought fifty with me. How much did our dinners cost anyway?"
"$154.75."
Just then someone walked up behind the whispering couple and tapped Rei on the shoulder. He looked up to see who it was and was shocked. The figure standing in front of him was none other than-
(A/N: Ha! A cliffy. I know I'm cruel. But, hey all you gotta do is review. All I want is five reviews then I'll post chapter 2! So R&R! Also tell me if I should continue this story or not I need to know from the people who read it. )
