Well, one person reviewed, and it made me in a really good mood! So, I updated just for them! And a little surprise...-grins-
The next morning, Kurogane woke up with a grunt. Syaoran was also awake, and was going to go check on Sakura. Fai woke up a couple minutes later, with a grin on his face. "Ne, Kuro-chi, lets all go somewhere today. I talked to the lady down stairs at the main counter yesterday, and she said there is suppose to be a carnival today. Syaoran and Sakura said they wanted to go and so did Mokona." Kurogane stayed emotionless and grunted again. "Hmph, whatever. I'd probably be forced to go with all of you anyway." Fai grinned and went to go in the other room to tell Mokona. Kurogane just that there with his arms crossed, and then thought of something. Just as a way to say 'thanks', he decided to invite Midori to go along with them. He got up and walked down the hall. He stopped in front of her door, and knocked on it.
Midori was putting half of her hair up in a bun, when she heard a knock on her door. She walked over lazily. "Wah….who be here at this time? No one ever knocks on my door…" She opened the door, to see Kurogane. "O-oh, hi there." She smiled nervously, not expecting him at all to be here. Kurogane looked down at her and blinked a few times. "You look different with your hair up…." He crossed his arms again. Midori smiled and opened the door more. "I decided to do something new with it, and you can com in if you want." Kurogane shrugged, and walked in slowly, and looked around her room. Midori closed the door, and walked over to her bed and sat down.
"What is it that you came here for?" She looked up at him, still smiling. Kurogane looked back at her. "My group…is going to this carnival thing…I wanted you to come. I don't want that stupid mage to be bugging me the whole time anyway…" Midori blinked a few times, and her eyes widened. She wasn't used to being asked to go somewhere with someone. "I heard that carnivals are wonderful…" She grinned. "And sure…I'll go with you…" Kurogane nodded, and leaned against the wall. "I guess we're going somewhere to eat first though." Midori stood up. "That's fine." She grabbed the key to her room, and walked out with him to his room.
As they arrived back in the room, everyone else was about ready to leave. Fai noticed the girl and smiled. "Hm? Who might you be?" Mokona jumped on Kurogane's head, and chimed in. "That's the girl Kuro-pii was with yesterday!" Kurogane twitched and grabbed Mokona and pulled its ears hard. Midori smiled, but was too shy to say anything. Syaoran then said that they should go now. They all walked out and went to go to a restaurant.
When they were seated at a table, Midori sat next to Kurogane. She looked at the table, and her cheeks were tinted red. This was because she was still shy. The waitress arrived and took their orders. Syaoran and Sakura were talking to each other, and Fai looked at Midori and smiled. "So, how did you and Kurogane meet?" Midori looked up and smiled a little. "I, uh…bumped into him I guess." Kurogane just twitched remembering her running into him. Fai smiled more. "Hm? Really?" Midori nodded, still having a blush on her face.
Later, the food arrived and everyone began to eat. Mokona was starting to eat Kurogane's food, and he grumbled, and yelled at it. Midori smiled at them, and ate her food quietly. Kurogane looked at her, and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so quiet..?" He then smirked. "And your face is red again…" Midori blushed more. "Yeah I know…I'm just shy, okay?" Kurogane smirked more, and ate his food again, but only to see that half of it was gone already. "Why you little!" He grabbed Mokona and pulled its ears hard. Mokona pouted. "Ow! Kuro-pon that hurts!" Kurogane grumbled. "You should have thought of that before you ate MY food." Fai laughed and smiled. "Now, now you two…lets not get us kicked out." Kurogane threw Mokona at Fai, who caught it carefully. Midori was laughing quietly and smiling.
Midori looked up at him. "You can have some of my food…" Kurogane shook his head. "No, I'm fine." He ate the rest of his food. Midori finished hers, and pushed her plate towards the middle of the table. Everyone else finished after a while. They paid for their food and left. They then headed for the carnival. Midori looked up at Kurogane and smiled. "You've never been to a carnival have you?" Kurogane shook his head. "No…Never heard of it either." Midori looked away, but grabbed his hand. Kurogane blinked a few times, and was confused. He didn't say anything, and let her hold his hand. He looked away though, and tried to keep himself from blushing.
After a long walk, they arrived at the carnival. Syaoran was soon dragged away by Sakura, who was amazed by everything. Mokona and Fai went there own way, laughing and smiling. Which left Midori and Kurogane together. Midori was still holding on his hand, and began to walk with him. She looked up at him and smiled. "Does it look a little weird to you?" He looked at her and grunted. "Everything here does…" She laughed softly, and walked with him to a cotton candy place.
She bought a blue one, and got Kurogane one too. He stared at it, and blinked a few times. "What the…cotton isn't suppose to be eaten! This should be used for making clothes!" Midori couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, but it's really good! Try it!" She ate some herself, and smiled. Kurogane hesitated, thinking it might poison him, but looked at Midori and saw that she was fine. He ate a little, and he thought it didn't taste that bad. He didn't normally like to eat sweets, but he made this as an exception.
They both continued to walk around together, and ate their cotton candy. Kurogane noticed later that she was still holding his hand. He closed his fingers around hers, and looked away, now not being able to hide his blush. Midori didn't really notice, so she just kept walking. She noticed this one game, where you had to throw rings and try to get it around the bottle. She grinned up at Kurogane. "Do you think you can do that, and win?" Kurogane smirked, and grabbed the rings. "This should be too simple..." He threw the rings and each went around the bottle. Not one missed it. Midori stared in awe. "W-wow!" Kurogane smiled a little at her (which looked like his normal smirk), and looked at his prize, which was a teddy bear. "This is the prize…?" He took it and twitched. Midori smiled at him. "Yeah, this usually is a place for couples and little kids…" He blinked then handed it to her. "Then I'll give to you…" Midori blushed and took it, and smiled. "Thank you…" She looked at it. Kurogane started to get this odd feeling again, and couldn't help, but lean down, and brushed his lips on hers.
Aww! A lot of fluffy moments in this one! Please Review!
