Though Kyouya always had confidence in everything he did he found while looking out his limo window at the small tea house that he was scared.
"I wonder what she thinks of me now." Kyouya thought as he mustered all his strength to get out of the car hoping an idea of what to do would come to him as he entered.
"Hey there mister money bags. I can't help but wonder exactly what's in those lips of yours to make her act so strange but id be willing to find out tiger." Suka said sitting seductively on one of the tables as Kyouya realized the tea house was empty.
"I doubt there is anything wrong with my lips and though I'm flattered by your offer I must decline." Kyouya said as politely as he could.
"Oh good answer!" Suka said with a smile as she got up and nodded for Kyouya to go to the back.
"If you two don't work out I would be happy to mend your broken heart." Suka said as Kyouya walked by.
Kyouya ignored the older woman's idea of seduction and headed to the backroom.
"Also if you break her heart I'll make sure no one finds your body." Suka said with all seriousness which made Kyouya stop and turn to look at her.
Suka gave him a big great grin and wink which succeeded in scaring the never scared Kyouya.
Kyouya ducked his head under the mats wondering what exactly how Nika would be acting but was startled by what he saw.
The usual calm and even somewhat sarcastic and observant Nika was racing to and fro dropping things here and there with a giggle or a small shriek. Kyouya had to hold in a small chuckle as a small smile fitted his lips. He walked over silently sneaking up behind Nika who was now at the stove putting in herbs muttering something along the lines of:
"Who does he think he is!.. My first kiss in front of all those strangers!...i bet he's worried to….why did I have to slap him?...he was getting into it, it was for his own good..yeah his own good." Nika decided.
"My own good you say?" Kyouya whispered in her ear.
"AHHH!" Nika screamed almost jumping 4 feet in the air clutching her chest as her hair fell down over her face and she strove to catch her breathe.
"If one kiss could affect you so much I should of kissed you sooner. You're quite amusing." Kyouya said with a smirk as he leaned back against a counter his hands in his pocket.
"What are you doing here?" Nika said obviously annoyed that she was caught off guard.
"I was going to come to apologize with possibly dinner but it seems you're in no state of mind for it." Kyouya said leaning forward and lightly brushing her hair away from her face.
Nika looked Kyouya in the eyes searching for something as she slowly leaned forward. Kyouya was surprised at first but leaned forward as well positioning himself for another kiss his heart beating wildly in his chest.
"SUCKER!!" Nika laughed as threw some ground clover in kyouya's face.
Kyouya was visibly startled and remained with his head tilted and eyes closed for a heartbeat before he cleared his throat and cleaned his glasses.
"I assume I deserved that but did you have to yell sucker as well?" Kyouya asked putting his glasses back on and looking at Nika with a blank look.
Nika put her hands behind her and waved side to side innocently smiling trying not to snicker.
"And what's so funny?" Kyouya asked as he took a handkerchief from his pocket to clean his face.
"You look like the gingerbread man with glasses." Nika said holding up a shiny steel teapot for Kyouya to look at himself in.
"I do look a bit tanner." Kyouya said matter-of-factly while he looked at his face.
"Ha ha ha ha that's what you get for stealing a girls kiss!" Nika said putting the tea pot down.
"You know of all the cooking ingredients to throw in someone's face I must suggest flower as a better alternative to clover." Kyouya said reaching behind him and grasping some flour, flinging it at Nika.
"Ok why the hell do we have flower in a teashop?" Nika coughed as she tried to wipe some of the flower of her face.
"I was planning on making some sweet buns!" Suka yelled out from the front making Kyouya and Nika both laugh.
"So I hope no hard feelings?" Kyouya asked as Nika handed him a damp towel for him to wipe his face with as they both sat down on stools at the counter of the kitchen.
"Now why would I be upset that my first kiss was by a cute, rich, smartass acquaintance in front of a bunch of strangers?" Nika stated rhetorically.
Kyouya looked over the damp towel at her feeling a bit sorry. Nika looked at him and a warm smile spread from her lips to her eyes as she smiled.
"A very cute, rich, smartass acquaintance who came all the way to my job to apologize with dinner only to have ground clover thrown in his face and still winder if were on good terms. Thank you Kyouya, thank you so much. I needed that." Nika said gazing distantly with an awkward smile.
"You needed a kiss?" Kyouya asked somewhat surprised she hadn't been kissed before.
"Ha ha never mind." Nika dismissed as she got off the stool and cleaned up.
Kyouya watched her get up with interest. He noted how her eyes seemed to sparkle whenever she smiled and the way her hair when it was down seemed to fall around her like a curtain for a relic that decides who sees its beauty. She was of medium height tall enough to not have her age confused or be of any trouble but also short enough to need to stand on her tippy toes to meet kyouya's eyes when they stood. She was graceful as she mopped the floor and Kyouya noticed that puberty had endowed her with just enough not to be considered "flashy".
"You know if you keep checking me out you'll get dirty thoughts and I might have to hurt you." Nika said splashing some water at the staring Kyouya who had stopped in his ministrations of wiping his face to truly take a look at her.
"Weren't you the one who offered that if you entered my limo you would be in a bikini and pigtails living out your days as what did you say?.. Oh yeah living out your days as my sick sex slave. Has a nice ring to it I must admit." Kyouya said pushing his glasses up with his index finger.
"I will gladly pay you for your silence." Nika said somewhat mocking the tone Kyouya had with her when he said the same line last time they met.
"Dinner." Kyouya stated.
Nika leaned her head on the end of the mop in thought.
"I guess it cant be that bad you don't look like a sloppy eater." Nika said looking kyouya up and down.
"I assure you I take appropriate sized bites and do not drool." Kyouya informed her.
"Oh but drooling's the dinner entertainment! So what are the conditions?" Nika asked standing straight.
"Conditions?" Kyouya asked wondering exactly what she meant.
"I'll go to dinner with you on the condition that I choose the place. So it's only fair you get a condition as well." Nika said putting the cleaning utensils down.
"I see you have a business like flair, all right you can choose the place but you have to let Suka dress you." Kyouya said with a smirk.
"Deal!" Nika said shaking Kyouya's hand a little to quickly making him wonder if he got the bad end of the bargain.
"You can pick me up at.." Nika said looking for a piece of paper.
"No need I already am fully aware of where you live." Kyouya assured her as he prepared to leave.
"Ok could you at least try not to be stalkerishly creepy?" Nika asked as Kyouya headed under the mats.
"And ruin my charm." Kyouya said with a grin as he left the image of the smiling Nika playing in his mind as he happily passed Suka with a wink and went to his limo.
