"Sit still!" Elli exclaimed for the fifth or so time. I couldn't help it if I kept twitching slightly- I was nervous. Nervous for two reasons- that I had an actual date with Kohaku later on, and nervous about how I looked. Elli had been working on me for about an hour now, and she had forbidden me from looking in a mirror until she was completely done. It's not that I didn't trust her with making me look good or anything- it's just that sometimes she over done it a little.
"Almost done," Elli said, applying something to my lips; I had my eyes closed, so I had no idea what she was using," Done!"
"Can I look now?" I asked, slightly terrified at what I might see when I opened my eyes.
"Yes," Elli laughed; I opened my eyes and was speechless. I couldn't even recognize myself! She had straightened my hair, and applied a sparkly coat of glitter spray to it- my lips had a coat of pink lip gloss, and it was very shiny. My eyes had a blue shiny eye shadow, eye liner, and some mascara- I was completely amazed at how I looked.
"Oh my…" was all I managed to say.
"Do you like it?" Elli asked, and I could tell she was wondering if I hated it.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, hugging her," You did wonderful Elli!"
"Thanks!" she smiled, hugging me back. We walked out of the bathroom and down the stairs.
"Kami- you look wonderful!" Tohru exclaimed, and everyone turned to look at me. I blushed as they all stared at me, but they probably couldn't tell- Elli had applied powdered blush to my cheeks, so it probably covered my blush.
"You look absolutely beautiful!" Shigure smiled, and both Kyo and Yuki hit him over the head.
"Pervert," they muttered, but I didn't mind.
"Thank you," I smiled, and then walked to the front to put on my shoes. Sitting down, I began to wonder where Kohaku was taking me tonight. As I finished tying the last bow on my tennis shoes, a knock came at the door. Standing up, I took a deep breath, and opened the door. Kohaku stood there, and when he saw me, he took a step back.
"Wow…Kami," he breathed.
"I hope I look alright…if not- I can go change-"I began, but he shook his head.
"You look beautiful," Kohaku smiled," And it's alright- it's casual anyway." I nodded, and he extended his arm; I smiled, and took his arm.
"So- where are we going?" I asked him, as we walked down the trail, away from Shigure's house.
"You'll see," Kohaku told me, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
We walked into town holding hands, fingers entwined. Kohaku led me through the city, and we came upon a movie theater.
"A movie?" I asked him, smiling.
"Yeah," he nodded, and then added," If that's alright with you- if not, we can go someplace else…" I shook my head, smiling.
"A movie sounds wonderful," I smiled, and I could tell he relaxed. We walked in, and he bought to tickets to one of the movies. I had no idea what it was about, because I paid little attention to what was out. He walked me to the right room, and we sat sort of in the middle of the room. A couple other people where in the room already, but they paid little attention to us- which I was completely fine with.
"So, exactly what is this movie about?" I asked Kohaku.
"Are you serious?" he asked me, a smile curving his lips," You've never heard of Twilight?"
"I never really paid much attention to movies," I told him, shrugging.
"Wow," he breathed," Twilight is also a book- and is about vampires, werewolves, romance, and adventure."
"Wow," I replied, wide-eyed.
"It's very good- trust me," Kohaku smiled, and I nodded. The lights dimmed, signaling the start of the movie. I happened to look toward the back of the room, and quickly turned back around, my eyes wide in disbelief at what I just saw.
"You'll have to ignore some of the people in here," Kohaku whispered to me, holding my hand. Obviously he knew what I had just seen, and was used to it. I nodded, and rested my head on his shoulders; then the movie started and I became entranced by what was going on in the movie.
We walked out of the theater about two hours later; I was completely shocked at how amazing the movie had been, and Kohaku couldn't stop smiling at my reaction.
"Come on," Kohaku laughed, leading me to a nearby restaurant. He opened the door for me and I thanked him, walking into the building.
"Table for two," Kohaku told the waitress, who nodded and led us to a table. I noticed the looks she kept giving Kohaku, and felt a feeling inside of my chest. I couldn't tell what the feeling was, but I was happy how Kohaku seemed to almost ignore her- keeping his eyes on me.
"Coke please," Kohaku told her, and she wrote it down, nodding and smiling; almost unwillingly, she turned to me.
"Pepsi please," I told her, and she wrote it down, and then walked away.
"So- how are you enjoying yourself so far?" Kohaku asked me, tilting his head to the side.
"Pretty well," I smiled," This is definitely more fun then I thought it would be- Not that I thought it wouldn't be fun…it's just…um…"
"It's alright- I understand what you mean," Kohaku laughed. The waitress returned then with our drinks, and we ordered our dinner.
"So, I'll see you at school tomorrow?" Kohaku said an hour later, as we walked up the path to Shigure's.
"Yeah," I nodded. Kohaku stopped walking, and turned to me; which made me stop and face him, slightly confused. Then I became aware of his intentions, as he silently leaned toward me; he kissed me on the lips, for the first time, and I became breathless. After a minute or so, he pulled away, his usual mischievous smile on his face.
"Good night, Kam-kam," Kohaku said, smiling and using my childhood nickname.
"Good night, Koko," I replied, smiling. He walked away, and disappeared into the night; I walked into Shigure's, smiling to myself, and walked up to my room that I shared with Elli- hoping that it wouldn't be too obvious of what just happened.
