Accidentally On Purpose

Rima POV

I bounced on my toes, impatiently waiting. My small height made it almost impossible to see anything in this big airport. I walked forward looking for gateway N8. A smile formed on my lips as I thought of the man I would be picking up. Kairi Sanjo, my oldest friend, no wait. Best Friend, and the one person who could make my knees buckle. I walk until I saw a sign, N8 neatly printed on it. I waited, keeping my eyes open for a familiar head of dark green hair that I loved. I stood rooted to my spot, cat-like eyes staring at the door or the plane. Suddenly a warm pair of hand reached up and covered my eyes. "Ahhh!" I screamed. I quickly spun around to meet a pair of bright, dark green eyes that seemed to hold the mysteries of the universe.

"Hello Rima" said a deep voice.

"Kairi!" I could feel the happiness swelling in my voice. Worries of work and a certain new employee seemed to vanish.

"How have you been?"

"Fine..." I paused, "Is is true you really want to help work with me?" My voice was eager, a little too eager.

"I did say so didn't I?" He said playfully.

"Here, let's get your luggage and I'll drop you off at your apartment." I glanced over at the baggage claim, "Which one is yours?"

"I'll get it." He was such a gentleman. Pretty soon, we were in my car talking about little things, catching up, and laughing like old friends. When we reached his apartment, the car slowed to a stop. I helped him inside. I hadn't been in his apartment for a while now. It was dusty, but still looked the same as I remembered. The neat little living room with the Kitchen just beside it and then the small hallway leading to the bathroom and his bedroom. There was even an extra bedroom for guests. I plopped down on the coach, exhausted from the day. I watched as he took his suitcase to his bedroom and started rummaging through the kitchen.

"I guess I'm gonna have to go shopping Rima, there's nothing to eat!" I really didn't want to go shopping, it was our first time seeing each other for a whole year.

"Why don't we go out?" I said, "I pay." I watched as he thought about it.

"Okay," He replied closing the fridge, "Where?" I smiled, I knew this perfect little pasta place located in a forested area. "I got it."

Nagihiko POV

"Come on Fugisaki-san,"urged Tadase.

"Yea, Nagi-kun, a little fun can't kill anyone, besides, we're not even going to a club or anything, its just a restaurant." Kukai smiled. I could sense a trick coming along. First they would take me to a restaurant, and then take a detour and go into a club or something. I shook my head firm. I wasn't the type to party. I didn't have the easygoing-ness of Kukai and Princly-ness of Tadase. Besides I wasn't really interested in girls at the moment.

"Wrong answer." answer Kukai and Tadase together. There was alot of struggling as I tried to pry their hands off me and as they heaved me out of the apartment, into the elevator and into the car. Who knew Tadase was that strong. I crossed my arms around my chest as we drove to a restaurant of Tadase's choice.

"You'll like it, trust me. I went with Amu, Ikuto, and Utau once." I pretended I didn't hear him. I didn't even want to go in the first place, who cared. The rest of the car ride was silent. I looked out the window as the scenery changed into a forested area with lights on the trees, the path changed from asphalt to a dirt road. I watched as lights started appearing on the trees, giving the place a warm and friendly glow. I started smelling delicious scents of food and thought, maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.

Rima POV

I watched as waiter brought us bread and butter. The warm fall air completed the feeling of family as was that little Italian Restaurant's theme. My eyes grew wide as I stared at the small lights hanging above us, they resembled little fireflies. I giggled as I remembered a distant memory.

"What's so funny?" asked Kairi.

"I was just remembering when we snuck out of Katie's Halloween Party and went to catch fireflies instead." Katie was a good friend of mine through High School. She looked out for me and we were inseparable. I smiled, I had kept in touch with her, but it was kinda hard with my busy schedule. Kairi laughed, the sound rang through my ears, making my stomach do a flip flop. A small blush crept to my cheeks. I didn't bother to hide them.

Kairi POV

I watched her smile. She was happy, that was a good thing. Her Mother would be pleased when I called her later. Hopefully she wouldn't meet anyone that would trigger her memory. (What? "trigger her memory"? What does that mean?hmmmmm....) I sat back in my chair enjoying the moment, until my eyes caught glimpse of a familiar long indigo hair. My limbs froze, as I casually turned my head to get a better look. He was with two other people. I hadn't seen them since grade school but I done enough research to know that it was Tadase, Kukai, and Nagihiko.
