Kamui was walking alone in the road with his parasol held by his hand to shield himself from the rays of the sun. His usual smile plastered in his lips. He seemed to be ecstatic at that moment. He was playing with his umbrella by rotating it alternately to the right and to the left.
*whistle whistle*
His mouth was protruding as he produced a whistling sound. It was some random hymn he just thought.
He was headed to that tree. Yes the tree that became his and her meeting place.
He didn't care of the consequences that could happen if ever someone would see him there; walking in the open without anyone else with him. He's kinda 'wanted' after all, since he's an ally of that Takasugi who is the most dangerous, radical man in the Nationalist Faction. Well, he's strong he could deal with such problems using his own strength.
So he just kept walking; without a care in the world.
"I wonder what we'll be doing today." Kamui thought to himself.
He was getting nearer to the designated place; that tree. Sensing the short distance between him and that place; his mood became better; he's more excited than a while ago. His antenna was moving on its own again just like a dog's tail; his hands kept swinging that harmonized with the movements of his antenna.
It was a great start for him, with the good weather that just added to his pleasant mood. He may hate the sun, but he still preferred that kind of weather than a rainy one. It just gives him memories that he doesn't want to remember anymore.
He looked up and stared at the sky; all of a sudden, he smirked; that smirk that depicts enjoyment.
He stopped his movements.
He closed his umbrella; looked back and opened it once again with a position that could shield his whole body.
It all happened in split seconds. His hands were so fast that even the naked eye won't be able to see it.
"So you were here huh?" Kamui said grinning from ear to ear.
It was Nobume Imai. She came from behind attacking Kamui as she tried cross slashing him while she jumped in the air.
Just as the usual, she was not responding; instead answered him with an attack.
She flipped back and landed on the ground. The moment that the tip of her boots touched the soil, she sprinted towards him. She kept on moving her blades randomly, slashing the bushes and even the trees around Kamui. She was actually using her two swords. Once again she leaped in the air while she formed her stance to cross slash him once again. She dashed towards him as she kept that pose. When she reached him, as usual he just defended it with his umbrella. But instead of flipping back, she somersaulted and landed on his parasol. She sat down with only her feet supporting her weight; knees apart; the lower part of her uniform hanging down on that umbrella. She pointed the blades of her swords to his neck.
He just smiled at her; even with the life threatening position that she's doing to him.
"Kamui..." she started.
He kept his attention to her.
"Let's buy donuts." She continued.
That seriously surprised Kamui; and here he thought that she would just ask him to fight with her until they take away each other's life. He kept his smile.
She just jumped down from the umbrella and landed safely on the ground while standing. He opened his parasol once again; with its shade protecting his back.
He tilted his head, "So... Where do we go?"
"Miss donuts." She replied.
They were walking side by side on that road where no one else but them was around. It was too quiet there; just the chirping birds or cicadas; the sounds that their steps produce; can be heard.
With the short distance they have between the two of them; they were like a couple. But no, they're not. Nobume won't even look at Kamui; she won't give her attention on him. They would just walk. No one was talking; but that silence doesn't seem to bother them.
With the current circumstances that they are in right now; Kamui suddenly thought,
Is this what they call a date?
That contemplation kinda excites him, but when he looked at Nobume who was just staring ahead; her eyes as uninteresting as usual; he just concluded...
Nah. Of course not.
She then stared back at him, still expressionless. She was looking straight to his eyes; though they were shut due to his stupid smiling. They both stopped on their tracks.
"Isn't this what they call a date?" she asked him.
He got surprised, was she reading his mind or was it just a coincidence? Was he not the only one giving such meaning to their current situation? His antenna began moving; more enthusiastic than a while ago. He opened his eyes; not the psychotic ones that he always had when he shows his blue orbs. It was those big round eyes that seemed to be shocked.
"Do you think we're on a date?" he asked back.
She was still staring at him, "I think so."
Now he was grinning like an idiot.
"Then, it's a date." He concluded as he smiled with his eyes wide open.
They continued moving. Just the same scene a while, no one talks, they just walk.
Before they knew it; the store was already near them, maybe just about 3 meters away. They both stopped once again.
She pointed the said place as he faced him, "That's the store. Treat me lots of donuts."
"Hehhh..so that's why you dragged me here." He said, "And if I don't want?"
His question was ignored. A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them; he was approaching that donut store. Light brown hair that reached his neck, crimson bored eyes, with a red sleeping mask on his head and wearing a Shinsengumi uniform. Boredom plastered all over his face.
She can't be mistaken, that was the guy she crossed swords with back in the Baragaki arc. He's the same as her having those eyes that only knew killing though he still seemed to be kind of different from her.
Well, he was also the one whole ate her donuts in front of her. How could she ever forget that?
And she wants his OOOO.
She stepped her foot and turned around her face to that guy immediately after seeing him. Remembering how he sadistically ate the donuts in front of her makes her mad. He has to pay to pay for it, ONCE AGAIN.
She tried moving another step.
But then, somebody grabbed her hand.
She looked back, just to see that it was Kamui.
He was smiling at her though this time it was different. It was a smile that hid his deepest darkest intentions.
He saw it all. He saw how her expression changed right away just by seeing that guy. It was very different from the usual face that she wore, it was like...she's excited? Or like, she really wanted to see that guy. She's with him; right? So why the hell would she leave him just to be with other guys? This is THEIR date after all.
He got so irritated, with the thought; though he still can't figure out why.
Squeeze.
Nobume felt his hand, pressing against her palm. It was so soft. She kept staring at it and somehow, it became too addicting to hold.
Squeeze.
Kamui held her hand. It was too small but still, it perfectly fit his big hand. It felt so soft, like a stress ball or a newly cooked manjuu that he won't stop squeezing.
Squeeze. Squeeze.
Now, they both pressed each other's hands; no one was letting go. They just sat and stared at their tangled hands; positioned like they were having a handshake.
They were like kids who were watching the group of ants moving on the ground; getting amazed with what they were doing. It was just the two of them in that place.
Minutes have passed but they're still there; the same position and the same scene from a while ago. They seemed to have forgotten their real goal coming to that place.
"Nobume, what about the donuts? " Kamui asked; still staring at their hands while he smiled like a child.
"Yeah, later." She replied, focusing on pressed palms as she kept squeezing him.
He did the same; he just pressed and pressed it though it was just gentle that it felt relaxing for her. It was the same with as he felt her soft palms softly touching his. Her skin was so smooth; it's too addicting.
Squeeze. Squeeze. Squeeze.
They just continued that squeezing thing.
Kamui suddenly stopped and so did Nobume. She stared at him. She was disappointed after all. She enjoyed it a lot though it won't show on her face. She wanted to press his palm more.
He moved his hands slowly as his fingers crawled hers. Their hands were pushing each other just like when they are pressing it against the mirror. They had the same size of hands. He then clasped it to her, filling the gaps of her fingers. He stood up and rested his fingers on back of her hand.
She just copied him as she stared at that part of their extremities that connects the two of them.
She just can't get enough of it.
"Ne China, do you have a brother?"
Sougo asked out of the blue. He was with Kagura who was eating the donuts he bought. He lost to their fight so he had to treat her something and at that moment, she craved for donuts.
They were walking side by side on the road. Just the two of them, Kagura holding her parasol and a box of donuts while Sougo placed his hands on his pockets.
"Nah. I don't have one."(He won't ever meet him anyway.) Kagura replied as she munched those donuts, she was not looking at him.
He faced her, "Ohhh?" then stared in front, "Must've been my imagination." He just said.
They continued walking. Silence filled the air.
He stopped his movements and stared at Kagura who was still busy with her food.
She was chomping another piece of donut, the usual donut that had a hole in the middle. She had only bitten the upper part of it.
He leaned down and took a bite on the left side of that confectionery that was currently on her mouth.
"You should get from the box if you want it, stupid sadist." Kagura said staring at Sougo who was just inches away from her face.
Azure and crimson ones locked onto each other; both having uninterested eyes despite their shoujo-manga like situation.
He had already swallowed that donut but his face was still near hers.
"Nah. This tastes better." He replied.
ooooo
