The Opportunity Arises
"You're impossible."
Hitomi tilted her head innocently.
"How do you mean?"
Amber sighed impatiently.
"You drag me out of my house 'cause you think I need to 'chill out' and that I need to be less 'picky' to go to of all places an arcade centre."
Hitomi nodded.
"Yeeaahhh…?"
Amber waved her arms frantically.
"WE'VE BEEN HERE AN HOUR AND STILL HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING!!!"
Hitomi was absolutely flabbergasted.
"Wow… you do need to chill."
"…"
Amber grabbed Hitomi's arm and dragged her to the closest machine.
"Tekken?"
Hitomi looked as if she had just been slapped in the face.
"I hate Tekken. Beside, why play it when I can do those moves for real?"
Amber sighed.
"Basketball?"
Hitomi smiled sheepishly.
"I'm flattered that you think I can actually reach."
Amber clenched her fist.
"House of Dead?"
Hitomi opened her mouth.
"No-,"Amber cut in, "I'm not even asking you this time. We're going in." With that Amber dragged Hitomi into the booth.
Hayate leaped from the branch to the closest tree and silently somersaulted onto the ground. He stood up. There she was. Haruka. He couldn't see her face as she had her back to him, but he could tell that she knew of his presence. Haruka turned around slightly and warm emerald eyes meeting his. Hayate was taken aback. She was beautiful, her auburn hair played with the wind, as if waltzing to a gentle melody. Hayate silently cursed himself; he couldn't allow himself to like this girl. Haruka smiled and bowed.
"Master Hayate,"
Hayate snapped out of his trance and bowed.
"Lady Haruka."
The two girls climbed out of the booths ten minutes later shivering. Amber slumped on Hitomi's shoulder.
"Girl, that was some freaky- arse shit."
Hitomi laughed.
"I know, I don't think I've ever heard anyone scream as many times in game as you just did."
Amber noticed people staring in their direction; her's in particular and pouted.
"Hey, I was okay with those zombie dudes, but those frogs were just off."
Hitomi rolled her eyes and laughed.
"At least you didn't shart yourself"
Amber looked blank.
"Huh?"
"Oh it's when you fart and accidentally shit yourself." Hitomi replied knowingly.
Amber was about to pull a face at Hitomi when her eyes diverted a crowd gathering in around the centre of the arcade. She, instead, whacked Hitomi on the arm and nodded towards the crowd.
"Lets go."
Hayate massaged his temples wearily. The last two hours had been hell. And yet, he was relieved. The less Haruka thought of him the better the chance they could call of the marriage. After all, she was human. How could she possibly marry Hayate? No, that was wrong. She could marry Hayate, but she can't marry the crude arrogant egotistic bastard front Hayate was imposing. No, and with some luck, her elders will think the same. He felt guilty for doing this. Haruka was one of the sweetest most loving people in the world, it pained him to see her disappointed every time he made yet another rude and sarcastic remark. He felt childish for putting his clan in jeopardy over his personal life. But then again, love is an emotion you cannot control; one takes over logic and common sense. It was inevitable.
Hitomi and Amber made their way towards the crowd. Music was thumbing through the boom box. A young man around Hitomi's age was jumping around on the DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) machine. Hitomi was impressed; this guy was pretty damn good. It seemed that the rest of the world agreed with her as they cheered and roared as he completed the final stage. The crowd slowly disbanded but Hitomi decided to stick around for a while.
"Hey that was really good," Hitomi said, trying to attract the young man's attention. The guy turned, gave Hitomi the once-over and smiled.
"Thanks," he said, leaning on the bars on the front of the machine.
"Anyway," Hitomi said, trying to get to the point, "you mind if I verse you?"
The guy smiled, he hadn't expected this. "Sure why not, but I'll need to get some change first."
Hitomi nodded, "Sure,"
"The name's Nate by the way," the guy said, extending a hand.
Hitomi took it, "Hitomi."
Amber watched Nate walk off and whacked Hitomi on the arm when she made sure that he couldn't hear them.
"He's hot!" she screeched
Hitomi raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, "You can have him."
Nate came back and the two competitors placed their coins into the machine. Nate set his mode to heavy. Hitomi did the same.
"You any good at this?" he asked, amazed that someone was actually going to play head to head against him.
Hitomi shrugged, "I dunno, never played before."
The game roared on and the result was a draw. Nate was absolutely flabbergasted. He had never drew before. Not once. And to a girl who never played before? Strangely enough, Nate didn't feel resentment for Hitomi. He was intrigued. Curious, if you will, at how an ordinary girl who has had no previous dancing or DDR experience could possibly match his skills.
Hitomi's cheeks were flushed and she smiled broadly at her results.
"Not bad for a first timer eh?" She asked elbowing Nate gently.
"Not bad? That was terrific!" he exclaimed, "How did you pull it off?"
Hitomi shrugged nonchalantly. "Call it reflexes."
"So what are doing now?" Nate asked, praying he didn't sound atypical.
"Going to get something to eat." Hitomi said, patting her stomach.
"Do you wanna come?" asked Amber, who obviously heard the eagerness in Nate's voice.
Nate blushed slightly and looked at Hitomi.
"Yeah, come join us," Encourage Hitomi, oblivious to the innuendo.
Nate smiled.
"Why not."
The trio sat in the food court and bonded through sundaes and pineapple fritters. They shared embarrassing stories and secrets. Though Hitomi still interpreted Nate's friendliness as, well, friendliness, Amber made it her job to set two hopeless romantics up. Little did she, her friend still had her heart set on a certain brunette shinobi…
Hayate trudged towards the pagoda. His plan was so close to completion. So very close. Just one last obstacle stood in his way: Shorai.
Shorai was already waiting for Hayate when he arrived. Hayate bowing briefly at Shorai before taking a seat inside the temple.
"Now, Hayate-san the wedding will be held on the twenty second on November, two after the tournament come to an end. That way you'll have time to rest before-,"
"I can't marry her." Hayate interrupted.
Shorai was astounded. Not once in his twenty years of being an elder had anyone argued against him.
"I beg your pardon, Hayate-san?" he asked, shakily trying to suppress his anger.
"I can't marry her." Hayate repeated, calmer this time.
Shorai smiled falsely. "And why is that?"
Hayate looked up and tried to sound professional. "I can't marry someone I don't love."
Shorai almost laughed. Hayate was an excellent leader, but he was too naïve. He was an idealist, not a realist.
"Haruka is a fine lady," Shorai said,
Hayate nodded. "She is, but I do not love her."
Shorai sighed heavily. "You realise this marriage is more than just your personal affair. The entire clan is counting on you to keep the peace treaty between the Mugen Tenshin clan and the Otori clan. This marriage is the mark of alliance, allegiance and mostly importantly, peace. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for years"
Hayate bowed his head.
Shorai smiled.
Hook line and sinker.
"Your are tired, this has been a big day for you," Shorai cooed in a more reassuring voice, "why don't you think about it and tell me your decision before you depart for the tournament."
Hayate sighed and nodded.
So close, yet so far.
