And I'm back...

Just for you Dying Rebel, enjoy.

"Hi, you finally picked up." Said Kurumu as she had phoned Moka and Tsukune as fast as she could. "So, who's at yours? Yukari and Ruby? Good, put me on speaker phone. There's some drama heating up over here. Here, I'll put the phone up to the door so you can listen."

"What do you mean you 'loved me'?" asked Mizore. "You used to love me?"

"I didn't mean it." Gin said as he scratched the back of his head. "I mean, I didn't mean it in the past tense. I do love you. I think."

"You think?"

"I don't know what love feels like. I've been infatuated before. But they've never lasted this long."

"So how do you feel?"

"It feels nice. Kinda like when you see a small animal and it's all cute and snuggly. I'm gonna go out on a whim and ask if I can I hold you. Is that okay?"

Mizore nodded before Gin stepped forward and awkwardly wrapped his arms around her. Mizore stood there arms by her sides before she put her arms around his hips and leaned into his chest.

"You smell nice." Gin whispered. "Kinda like peaches."

"You smell funky." She replied. "Kinda like sweat."

Gin laughed as he let go of her.

"So, can I have this shirt back?"

"It depends. Will you be back for lunch? It'll be nice to catch up after all this time."

"No, I won't be coming back into your home tonight."

The next thing Gin knew he was through Mizore's door. The werewolf had been struck by a large ice boulder. Kurumu rushed to Gin's side.

"Bloody hell." He said as he let out a cough of blood before slowly standing up and clutching his reopened wounds from beneath the bandages. "If you'd let me finish I would have taken you out. You absloutely have no patience. You're crazy, you know that?"

Mizore walked over to Gin and whispered into his ear before heading into the bathroom.

"What did she say?" asked Kurumu.

"Seven 'o'clock. Don't be late."

"So… what do I wear to a date?" Mizore asked Kurumu a few minutes before Gin was to arrive.

"You mean you have no idea?" she asked as Mizore shook her head. "Why didn't you say anything earlier?"

"I didn't want to make a fuss about it."

"Well that'll be him now." She said as a knock on the door was heard. "Just put on some jeans so he won't take any photographs of your panties."

Mizore stared a good few moments before walking into her room. A few knocks later and Kurumu answered the door where Gin was standing with a bouquet of origami flowers. He wore and open-collar shirt which was partly tucked into a pair of loose trousers. He smiled giving off a powerful F U aura.

"Nice flowers. The real one's too expensive?" asked Kurumu.

"Shows how much you know her." He said as he took a step back and pointed at the sculptures. "Look around the garden, ice-sculptures. She enjoys making things, these will last much longer than real flowers. It took me quite a while to make this many of them."

"And she'll like that? Women wanna be wined and dined. They wanna have jewelry and nice clothes. Come on, you've perved and stalked girls. You know what they like."

"And he got it spot on." Came Mizore's voice as she stepped past Kurumu and closed the door in her face. "Shall we?"

Gin grinned before linking his arm with hers. They walked a few blocks down and into an apartment building, they went up to the roof and stared at the city view.

"Great view from up here." Said Mizore. "So, how have you been since you left the academy?"

"Not much, still reporting on paranormal going-ons in the human world." He said. "Well, not exactly reporting, more like replacing it with something else. How 'bout you?"

"Advertising mother's ski resort, sorting out the accounts, trying to find a decent mate before I get old."

"A mate, you say?" asked Gin before his entire left side was covered with ice, Gin sneezed before the ice shattered.

"Don't you dare, the last thing I need is to someone like you taking taking advantage of me."

"I'm insulted." said Gin as he feigned pain. "You would suggest such a thing? I only ogle and grope. We perverts have a strict moral code."

"Touch my ass or chest and I'll shatter you." She said before resting her head on his shoulder. "You work for Yukari's Grandfather, right? I thought you worked for something bigger than that."

"It was boring." He lied. "A desk job, nothing out in the field like in Yokai."

"Like you ever did anything, all you ever did was perv."

"You really think so? I did my fair share of work."

"Sure you did, and I'm at the beaches at every chance I get trying to get tanned." She said before seeing a smile on Gin's face. "Stop picturing it!" She pushed him away

"Kinda hard not to," he said quietly as he slowly moved infront of her. "You, in a purple bikini, " He slid his hands around her waist before breathing on her neck. "Hugging your curves perfectly. I slowly go in and…"

The next thing Gin knew his lips were close to hers, he could feel the cool breath on his lips.

"So, yeah," he said as he moved back. "Weather's nice this time of year, right?"

"It's not too bad," she said as she blushed before rubbing her face. "Too warm! Too warm!"

"Come on, let's go back," Gin snickered as he patted her head. "Don't want Kurumu to think that I've kidnapped you."

Mizore nodded before they made their way outside the building. They both stayed quiet as they walked back to Mizore's home.

"This was fun, right?" he asked. "Maybe we can do it again sometime? Perhaps we can get a nice hot coffee? I mean ice tea?"

"Ice tea would be nice," she said. "I'll call you?"

Gin nodded before Mizore stepped forward and placed a hand on his chest. She could feel his heart beat underneath is shirt. She closed her eyes before kissing his cheek. She turned around and walked inside, stumbling slight before closing the door behind her. Gin smiled before running back to his apartment, climbing a building and jumping from roof to roof. He stopped as something flew in front of him. Gin stopped before looking for what it was. He picked up a small note which said three words.

'History will repeat'
