"What can I get you?" I asked, looking at Mahiru Koizumi, as she sat at the desk. It was strange, having her in my room, but a lot of people tend to find there selves in here now. Still, she was a beauty, reminds me a lot of Mukuro. I can't say for certain, but if they stood next to each other, they would look like twins almost. Just change the hair, add some freckles, and the eyes, then you have the twin. It had been a long time since I had even seen Mukuro. One likes to smile, and the other didn't.

"Black coffee, please." She responded with a smile.

"You want ice?" I questioned as I took two mugs out, trying to not sound so rude.

"No, thank you. I'm not much of a fan of iced coffee. I feel like the flavor is distorted, and for some reason it doesn't seem to have as much of an effect."

I nodded my head as she had a point. "Black coffee it is." I said as I couldn't help but notice that she was staring at me, like she was trying to figure me out. When I handed her the coffee she nodded her head.

"Its a good day outside." She said with a smile.

"It is, but so far, it has yet to have anything special." I said as I took a seat on the bed and drank my coffee.

"Special?" she asked, frantically touching her camera. "What is your definition of "Special"?"

"Special, something unique." I said, thinking about it. "Something or someone who is different or amazing at something."

"Uh I see, like ones eyes? Like how Edwards eyes are green from Twilight? I've never seen eyes that green before." She said, with me looking at her like she was crazy.

"You do know that was done by special effects, right?" I asked.

"I know, I've never seen his real eyes before. I mean who knows, I bet he's got blue eyes." She said, thinking about it.

"You're really serious?" I asked, shocked. "Maybe you should look him up, without the make up."

"Well, there are better looking people who don't need make-up. You're one of them, you've just got natural features that would make most men jealous. Besides, he's not worth it now days."

"Thanks, I guess." I said softly, tilting my head to the side, trying to process her calling me handsome, it was just how I hide my embarrassment.

"Dakota, would you mind if I took your picture like that?" She asked. "It looks perfect, like you're wondering about something but at the same time knowing what it is." She asked, with me giving her a thumbs up, watching as she quickly took a picture as I relaxed.

Later

That afternoon, we walked around, with her trying to find something that I would find "Special" and take a picture of it. Should I tell her that I didn't find anything "Special"? Should I tell her that she was "Special" in her own way? Would that be considered a flirt? That last option had me a bit confused, I wasn't awkward when it came to the opposite sex, I just didn't care for it at the moment. It was my nature, I wasn't a flirty person.

"Come on, there isn't anything you find "Special" out here? You're going to have to give me something." Mahiru said, trying to push my though my wall.

"Not really, why don't you take one you like instead? I mean, why dose it have to be what I find "Special"? I hardly find anything "Special"." I said, crossing my arms as I followed behind her.

"Oh don't be like that, you must have something "Special" to you, right? Family, or something from your childhood would work, there has to be something. No one has nothing." She said, placing her hands on her hips.

I let out a sigh as she was right. "What difference does it make anyway? There isn't a way to get the photo."

She rolled her eyes at me. "I don't like that attitude, so tell me what it is, and we'll just go with the flow." She said, with me rolling my eyes.

"If I go with the flow, I'm gonna say something stupid, something that you will laugh at, something I don't want laughed at. Now IF I say this, you must promise me that you wont laugh. no matter what, Ok?" I asked, pointing at her face.

"Promise!" Mahiru said with a nod of her head.

"Friendship, I find Friendship "Special" to me." I said, with her staring at me with wide eyes. "You ok there sunshine?"

"Yes." She said as she smiled, and I could tell she wasn't going to laugh, which made me feel better. "Friendship is "Special", and I know just the photo to get you."

"I, uh, what, I'm lost as I don't understand what you're talking about." I stuttered out. "So, um, what is it?" I asked, curious.

She raised an eyebrow at me. "You mean you don't know?"

"Huh?" I said baffled. How was I supposed to know what she had in mind?

"I'm going to get a photo that resembles Friendship for you." She said, covering her face as she cave off a small laugh. "After all, you came to the right person about Friendship."

"Right..." I said nodding my head, with her grabbing my arm and pulling me over to the reserves area. "But, how are you going to get a photo that resembles Friendship?" I quickly asked, confused by how she was acting. before I could continue on, she laughed.

"I suppose it would be hard for a normal Photographer. With me being the Ultimate Photographer, I instantly found the perfect person." She said as she smiled at me "How would you like to meet my best friend?"

"Your best friend?" I responded, not sure how to that had anything to do with what we were talking about.

"Yes, her name is Sato." She started.

"Sato, she's in the Reserves?" I questioned, with her nodding.

"Yes." She replied, and I could tell that she was proud of her, even if it wasn't as an Ultimate.

"Ok, sure, I wouldn't mind meeting her." I said, not really caring. "How is she with strangers?"

She tilted her head back up and gave me a questioning look. "What do you mean? She meets new people all the time."

"Never mind." I said, knowing that I wasn't getting to her. "Are you sure? She might freak out, even think that we're a new found couple."

"A couple?"

"Yes, a couple. Dating, isn't that how girls think when they see there friends with a guy they never met? I don't know much about girls." I said as I shrugged. "I've only been with one girl and I haven't talked to her in a long time."

"Really?" She asked, surprised. "Well, I can guarantee that she wont think that. She would be cautious, but after she gets to know you, then she'll open up to you, and by the way, not all girls are like that."

We came to a stop once she started waving her hand in the air, with a girl running over to us. "Mahiru, what are you doing over here, whos this?" The girl asked, looking me up and down.

"Dakota." I said, bowing to her. "Feichko, Dakota."

"Sato, this is a classmate of mine, he's the Ultimate Pessimistic." She said smile. "I'm sorry to have as this of you, but can I get a picture of us?" She asked, with Sato nodding her head.

"Sure." She said Mahiru handed me the camera, confusing us as she pushed Sato to my right and placed herself to my left. I was confused as to why she handed me the camera, but then she suddenly hugged me around my neck, shocking not only me but Sato as well. "What's going on, I thought you were taking the picture?" She questioned as Mahiru chuckled a little.

"I never said I was going to take the picture." She said as she grinned at me. "Alright, I need you to point the camera down at us and take the picture, Sato, hug him as well!" She said, still grinning.

"Ok? Like this?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around my waist. "Don't get any ideas!" She said, looking up at me with a glair, then moving her look back to the camera, smiling.

"I wont. I'm not good with camera's, so I'll give it the best I got. I swear, this day just jumped to wired." I said, muttering the last part to myself. "Ready?" I asked as I got ready to take the Picture, not really sure how it was going to go.

"Everybody say Cheese!" I said as I was ready to take the picture.

"Cheese!" They both said, with me taking the picture.

"Let me see!" Mahiru said as she took the camera from me, smiling as she looked at the picture.

"Show me!" Sato said as she moved over to look at the photo, smiling as she saw it. I slipped around them and looked at it my self, seeing all three of us standing together, looking into the camera from below. "Not bad, you should of been in photography class with us." Sato said as the camera was put away.

"Ya right, with her?" I said as I pointed at Mahiru. "Compared to her skills, I look like...a paint splatter?" I said, not sure if that would work as a comparison. "Whatever, point is, I'm not much into photography, Art is beautiful, even Time is, but I wouldn't be able to capture both in there best forms." I pointed out.

"True." Mahiru said, after they both gave a chuckle. "You really do have some skills though."

"It's not bad, really." Sato said waving me off. "She was born for that role, we just have to work for it." She said with a shrug. "That's how I ended up in the reserves." She said, sounding less than thrilled about that fact. "I'm happy where I am."

"Well, I really do appreciate this, especially since I came all this way to distract you from your school work." Mahiru said, looking at Sato.

"Its ok, today's been slow really. I get to actually have fun." She said with a smile.

"Oh yeah, having fun taking pictures with me." I said as I rolled my eyes. "I'm sure you had would of had much more fun if it was just you two. For a guy who is left out most of the time, it was nice to be involved."

"So dose that mean that you'll hang out with us?" Mahiru questioned, with me looking at her.

"Don't push it." I said, confusing her. "She is your "Special" thing, cherish her." I said, her eyes widening. "I'll see you two later, I had fun." I said, walking away, smiling.
