Velvet- I hope you're all enjoying, please keep reviewing- if you haven't so far, you still can- it would be much appreciated. :) Also I'm adding in some Japanese words and phrases to make it sound prettier. I also have a glossary at the end so you know what I'm talking about. If you see a star () next to a word, that means there's a meaning in the glossary at the bottom. It's in every Chappie from now on. Also, i've decided not to update untill i get AT LEAST 20 reviews, that means you tell ALL your friends to R&R or I won't put up the next chapter. On with the story!
Chapter Four: An Almost Perfect Date
Matt pulled up outside an old movie complex. Kagome looked up at the chipped building with its peeling paint. She'd never been here before, and no wonder, it looked disgusting.
"Uh… This is where you're taking me for a romantic date?" asked Kagome taking off her helmet and giving it to Matt who had jumped off the bike.
"Yeah, its one of Tokyo's best kept secrets- surprised you don't know actually- oh well, makes it all the more brilliant" said Matt putting the helmets away.
"Secret?" asked Kagome worriedly as she got off the bike.
"Hai, come on" said Matt walking ahead. Kagome didn't move. Matt sighed "it's a GOOD sort of secret!"
"Oh?" said Kagome in a squeaky voice.
"Here" said Matt offering his arm to Kagome. She clung to him gratefully. They pushed open the rotating door. Kagome gasped.
"Wow" she whispered letting go of Matt carefully and looking around her. They were in a beautiful- yet romantic restaurant. There were a few other couples whispering amongst them selves at little wooden tables along the walls and throughout the whole room. A waiter came over to them.
"Table for two sir?" he asked Matt who nodded.
"Onegai- roses" said Matt and the waiter nodded back. He led them to a table behind a screen- it was like a small room.
"Roses?" said Kagome once the waiter had left "What the hell does that mean?"
"You'll see" grinned Matt as he looked out of the doorway from their little room. Kagome peered through the gap too and gasped.
Their waiter was wheeling over a food cart filled with tall vases of roses. Quite deep coloured, ruby red ones (roses, that is, red roses). He came in to their room and put one in every corner. Then finally a tiny little vase in the center of the table on top of its red tablecloth.
"Oh Matt!" whispered Kagome leaning towards Matt. Matt leaned towards Kagome and kissed her softly on the lips. Kagome sat back in her seat as the waiter handed them menus.
"So much food…" said Matt apparently not knowing what in the world to choose.
"Wow, you're right!" said Kagome looking at her own menu. She thought about Matt as she chose her dish. I wonder what it would be like to be with him… forever, in our own little world away from everything… Matt looked up from his menu and saw Kagome watching him.
"Are you… Okay Kagome Chan? What's wrong is there something on my face?" Matt flustered. Kagome shook her head,
"Eie, I was just thinking" she went back to looking at her menu. Matt didn't ask what she was thinking about- Kagome was grateful, she'd be too embarrassed to tell him and too taken aback to make up an excuse.
"Chosen your food yet?" asked Matt closing his menu.
"Hai- I think I'll have… Nira tama" said Kagome closing her own menu.
"Oh good- I was only gonna have onigiri, but now I'll have… Shikora! delish!" said Matt laughing at his own foolishness.
"Heh heh- Matthew Kun" giggled Kagome. Matt stopped laughing. He raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Matthew kun?" he said quizzically
"You called me Kagome Chan!" she protested
"Fair enough- I'll stop it"
"Arigatou"
"Are you ready to order madam?" said the waiter who had come back and was looking at Kagome.
"Hai!"
--- (Line) ---
"This food is delicious! Thank you Matt" said Kagome swallowing a munch of her Nira Tama- which she greatly enjoyed (I don't get how you could like that stuff! Bleah!- hey what the hell, aren't I writing this?).
"Glad you like it" replied Matt lifting his chopsticks in agreement "We should have some wine- they have nice stuff here"
"Oh no I couldn't, it's so expensive!" said Kagome looking at the menu in shock
"Nothing's too expensive for you" said Matt sweetly, he turned around to find their waiter, after finding him standing nearby he called out to him "Waiter! A bottle of your finest for the lady" he nodded and walked away to the kitchen returning shortly with a bucket of ice in a stand, in which he placed the bottle
"Your wine" said the waiter opening the bottle with a pop. Kagome held out her glass which he filled. Matt had his filled with the crimson coloured liquid too and the waiter walked away.
"This is great Matt, I'm having a wonderful time" smiled Kagome
"I'm glad you are, it gets better though" said Matt draining his glass of wine
"What? you're kidding! This is amazing enough for me thanks" said Kagome hurriedly
"Nope- it's not, I've come to your place, what say you come to mine? Tonight, after dinner?" asked Matt. Kagome looked away from him slowly oh no! He wants to take me home- that's always a bad thing! What should I do?
"Ummm…" trailed off Kagome
"You don't have to if you don't want to Kagome- I just thought it would be nice" said Matt pushing Kagome's mind in to agreement. He can't be THAT bad, he said you didn't have to if you didn't want to- how many murderous sex addicts say that? Go on! go home with him!
"Alright, sure! I'll come home with you tonight" said Kagome smiling. Matt smiled too.
"Brilliant"
---(Line)---
"It's not much" said Matt unlocking the door of his apartment "But it's home" They stepped in to a small room that appeared to serve as the lounge. There was a doorway leading in to the hall where there was a bedroom and a bathroom and on the other side of the lounge, a doorway to the kitchen.
"Nice place!" said Kagome admiring the curtains. Which were black with white snowflakes on.
"Thanks" said Matt "Drink?"
"Okay" said Kagome sitting on the sofa- it and the coffee table were the few pieces of furniture in the room.
"White or red?" said Matt holding up two bottles of wine.
"I don't mind" shrugged Kagome "Whatever'll get me pissed faster" she laughed
"Red it is then!" said Matt grabbing a bottle opener (It is not an actual fact that red wine will get you drunk quicker- please do not take my word for it, in fact- stay off the booze altogether).
"So, how long have you lived here?" asked Kagome
"A few months" replied Matt pouring out wine in to a couple of glasses
"Cool" said Kagome absentmindedly fiddling with her fingernails.
"Here you are mi lady" said Matt handing her a glass
"Many thanks dear gentleman" grinned Kagome taking the glass carefully so as not to break it.
"Lets try not to get TOO drunk tonight okay?" said Matt raising his glass in a toast
"Okay" said Kagome raising hers too
"To not getting drunk!" they said clinking them together and laughing. Matt took a swig of his wine then placed the glass on the table. He went over to the mantelpiece and turned on the stereo.
"You like BoA?" he asked putting in a CD. Kagome's eyes lit up as she put her glass down on the table.
"Are you kidding? I LOVE BoA!" squealed Kagome getting up. Matt moved the coffee table up against the sofa carefully so there was a large space in the middle of the room.
"Care to dance?" said Matt as "No. 1" started playing.
"Love to" said Kagome taking the hand that Matt offered to her
(I do not own this song- BoA is a real Jpop singer and this is her song. Listen to her- She rocks!)

Kagome groaned and looked around at her surroundings. It seemed she was on the floor- next to a coffee table. She was naked, and lying next to an also quite naked Matt.
"So much for not getting pissed huh?" said Matt opening one eye. Kagome's eyes widened in shock as she realized something, for what other reason would Matt be lying naked with his arms around her?
"You- did we- I- I didn't want" Matt clapped a hand over her mouth.
"Nothing happened, I swear, I remember everything- apparently… you don't?" he said smiling. He took his hand away so as to let Kagome speak.
"No- if we didn't…do that… Then what happened?" said Kagome grabbing her dress and covering herself up.
"This" said Matt leaning over and grabbing a messy pile of cards
"We played…" started Kagome
"Strip poker" finished Matt "We both lost, then you downed a couple of these…" he produced an empty beer bottle "And fell asleep in my arms- I didn't want to wake you- so I didn't bother moving"
"Gentleman? Or not…" said Kagome spotting a small plastic packet between them; a condom. Matt blushed when he saw her looking.
"About that…" he trailed off
"No" said Kagome "Just don't say anything- You'll make it worse"
"How? It's un opened!" said Matt holding it up
"Not the point! It's the fact that you even THOUGHT about it without even asking me, but I guess if you DID ask me- I would have been to drunk to remember, YOU GOT ME DRUNK ON PURPOSE!" Kagome was shouting now
"Hey, hey! Not so loud- I have neighbors, I'm one more hit away from being evicted cause of noise already" said Matt hurriedly. Then he gasped realizing what he had just said.
"There's been MORE?" growled Kagome
"Oh no- of course not! Just you my love, no-one else!" he said in a rush. He grabbed a towel and put it around himself. He caught sight of the clock and froze. Kagome saw him looking.
"That's it isn't it? That's why you changed the time of our date, your other whore finished up earlier than you thought!" she screamed.
"Shouldn't you be going soon?" asked Matt timidly.
"I will!" shouted Kagome angrily. She put on her dress quickly and grabbed her handbag. The doorbell rang as she got to the door.
"Or, maybe you should take the fire escape out?" said Matt making a grab at her. Kagome dodged his hands and kneed him in the groin. She flung open the door as he doubled over in pain. A girl with long blonde hair and a rather busty chest stood there. She frowned when she saw Kagome.
"Who the hell are you? Where's my Matt?" she demanded pulling down her miniskirt that was short enough to be called a belt.
"Doesn't matter- you want that cheating, lying son of a bitch?- take him" said Kagome pushing the girl aside and storming away.
"Ah…! Lucinda!" said Matt walking towards her as best her could with sore bits.
"Haha- Who was she?" Lucinda asked softly.
"The… cleaner?" Matt lied.
"Nice try sweetie" Lucinda smiled. Then she slapped him across the face, turned on her heel and flounced out of the room slamming the door behind her.
Glossary! (The word is in bold, then the meaning follows, I also put in pronunciation of the word just for fun :P)
Hai- Yes - Hi
Eie- No – Eee Eh
Onegai- Please –Oh Neh Guy
Arigatou- Thank you – Ah Ree Ga Toe
Nira Tama- A dish with leeks and eggs – Nee Ra Tah Mah
Onigiri- Rice balls- not a very big meal, more of a snack – Oh Nee Gi Ree
Chan- a word used for loved ones, or small children- I figure a good way to explain it is "Childish cuteness" – Chan
Kun- pretty much the same as "Chan" normally used for boys- but can be used for girls too. It's all very confusing! – Koon (Not like 'cool' where you drag out the 'o', it's said quickly, Kun!)
Shiokora-Salted Fish Guts- She oh core a (Roll your tongue on the "r" a little to get a sort of "l" sound- then you're perfect!)
