-1"I hope you like action and adventure, An-chan," Sengoku said with a winning smile.

"Those are two of my favorite things," An-chan said with a giggle. She felt like such a stupid girl, giggling after everything she said to Sengoku, but she couldn't help it. He made her feel so... high?

Whenever An-chan looked at him, the Yamabuki teen felt his stomach get light and tingly. I wonder if she feels the same way, he thought. His thoughts were interrupted with a wide grin, "We're here!"

An-Chan stopped in her tracks. A smile slowly spanned her entire face. In front of her was a large park, shaped like a bowl. In the bottom of the bowl were a soccer field and a baseball diamond, but along the rim of the bowl there were playgrounds and pavilions. How did he know this was my favorite park?

"Here, you'll need this," said the boy as he handed An a large towel. Her confused expression made him laugh. She looked even more confused as he pulled a large block of ice out of the cooler he'd been dragging. "We're going ice-blocking," he announced triumphantly.

"Hey, Fujiko. How about we play a little tennis?"

Fuji smiled serenely. "Only if we spice it up a little."

"What do you have in mind?"

With that, Fuji's serene smile turned slightly more mischievous.

The two boys got to the court and began warming up. I really can't lose this match. Saeki laughed audibly at the idea of what would happen if he did lose.

I really must make you lose this match Saeki. Fuji smiled even broader at the thought of the bet.

Both boys played well, but in the end Fuji overwhelmed Saeki. "Utterly defeated," the silver haired boy mumbled, but a smile crept on his face. He cast a look over at Fuji. Both boys looked in one another's eyes for a moment with stern faces, but they couldn't keep from laughing. Both youths collapsed. Fuji wiped a tear from his eyes; he hadn't laughed this hard in a while.

After their laughter subsided, Kojiroh looked up and shrugged. at Fuji "I guess it's now or never," he smirked. Fuji only smirked back in response.

Ice blocking? thought An. Sengoku just grinned even bigger at An's confused face.

"Yup, what you do, is you take the towel," An handed him a towel, "And you fold it like so," he folded it about the size of the surface of the ice block, "and then there ya go." He put the towel on the large block of ice and sat down. The block wasn't as wide as his rear, but he could still easily balance on it. An-chan followed suit and got on her block.

"Now the fun part." Sengoku pushed off the ground with his hands and pulled An a long with him. The two slid all the way down the hill.

"So it's like sledding, but with out the snow and sled?" said An laughing.

"Yup, want to go again?"

The two slid down the hill several times. An-Chan couldn't remember having this much fun in a long time. As they reached the top, and began to go for another run, Sengoku smiled mischievously at An.

"Race?" An nodded in agreement. Sengoku looked even more mischievous. The two lay down with the ice block's under their stomachs and the race began.

Half-way down the hill, the redhead reached out and pulled on the winning An-Chan's leg. An looked back, laughing and put her foot on the boy's shoulder and pushed, knocking him right off his block. He managed to grab her foot and take her out with him.

The two tumbled a few feet and ended up in a jumble of legs and arms. Both could not stop laughing.

"Hahaha, it's good to know that beside cheating, there's no other way you could beat me." laughed Sengoku.

"Oh, I'll beat you," said the smiling girl with a flash of fire in her eye. In an instant she had pinned the redhead on his back and was straddling him victoriously.

"If this weren't so hot, I might actually try and fight you," said the youth.

"Yeah, you could try, but I'd still win," An-chan smirked. Sengoku quickly rolled An-chan over and off of him. They both laughed even harder, tears in the corners of their eyes.

"I don't think I've laughed this hard in awhile!" said Sengoku, a grin plastered to his face.

"Me neither, " giggled An-chan. As the laugh died down there was a semi-awkward pause, almost expectant. I really want to kiss her. I think I just might...thought Sengoku. The two were sitting with their hips touching, Sengoku facing uphill and An facing down. The redhead was leaning on his arm behind him and his other arm was on the ground next to An's other hip. Their shoulders were only inches from each other and the closeness was almost too much to bear. I hope he kisses me already though An-chan beginning to get impatient.

Sengoku couldn't take it anymore; slowly, he leaned towards An-chan. She closed her eyes and so did he as their lips pressed together. Sengoku's kiss was firm, yet still soft. His lips moved in a slow rhythm, making them almost sultry; he used just the right amount of pressure.

An felt her head spinning, she'd never felt a kiss like this before. It was as if electricity was moving between them. Her skin felt like it was on fire and her stomach jumped.

This was the best kiss Sengoku had ever had. His lips felt tingly and his heart beat so fast he thought it would explode. Slowly, he tentatively dipped his tongue into An's mouth, letting it slide slowly across her lower lip. Her mouth parted and her tongue greeted his as they began to tease each other lightly. The kiss had gained momentum and passion, when Sengoku suddenly pulled away.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean... I just... I'm not usually this forward-" An cut the redhead off mid-sentence by pressing her lips back onto his. This time she initiated the intimacy and coaxed Sengoku's lips open.

After a minute or so, the kiss ended slowly with the two pulling their lips apart like two pieces of bread with honey in the middle. The pair looked at each other for a moment, then broke into laughter.

"Lucky!"
