After a very serious tense moment with escaping from Kuzan and emotional reunion with her family, we finally see Ikuto and Yuki having some fun together and we get a little flashback on their previous date.
Picnic
Saturday afternoon comes along and Yuki walks around the forest, looking forward to a picnic with Ikuto and she needed a good time with him after all that she had been through with Kuzan and all and it's just what she needs...an escape from all of this. When she finally made it over to Ikuto's house, she saw him holding a picnic basket while standing under a shady tree and he's wearing only a black tank top to keep himself cool and she came over to him and she said, "Hey, Ikuto."
"Hi, Yuki. How are you?" asked Ikuto.
"I'm doing good. You?" asked Yuki.
"Pretty good. Hungry too." Ikuto said, chuckling.
Yuki giggled in response to that and she put on her sun hat and said, "It's getting pretty hot out here."
"Yeah, I feel it too. I know a place where we can cool down as we're enjoying our picnic." Ikuto said, grabbing his picnic basket.
Before they set out to leave, Lei comes over and brought in a extra bag of food to bring for the picnic and places it in the picnic basket and Ikuto says thanks to his mom for that and then Lei kisses her son on the cheek and did the same for Yuki and afterwards, Lei said, "Be good, you two!"
"We will, mom." Ikuto said, as quickly as he can.
"It's hot out there, so take a swim. And I put in some fresh pairs of underwear for you." Lei said.
Ikuto just couldn't believe that his mother said that out loud in front of a very shocked and silent Yuki and just didn't really say anything as they went on their way and Yuki was still shocked at all of this and she asked, "Did she really just say that?"
"I don't even want to know." Ikuto said, while walking.
Sometime later, they finally reached the place Ikuto was walking about and when they came in, it was completely amazing for Yuki to see this with her own eyes and said, "This is amazing."
"I had discovered this place a long time ago and this is one of the most coolest places to go into. Plus...it's got something extraordinary." Ikuto said, bringing Yuki over.
"What's extraordinary about it?" asked Yuki.
Just then, as soon as they turned left, Yuki was surrounded by mounds of diamonds all over the place and that really took her breath away as she couldn't believe the amount of diamonds in this cave and she said, "Oh my goodness..."
"What do you think?" asked Ikuto.
"It's wonderful. I've never seen that many diamonds before in my life." Yuki said, pleased.
Ikuto smiled in response and he told him, "I had hoped that it'll be a place for you and me to spend time in."
"I'm definitely looking forward to that." Yuki said, smiling.
Soon after, Ikuto brought in his picnic sheets and placed it around the ground and set his basket down there and sat down with his legs crossed and Yuki sat down as well and they opened up the basket and mounds of food were inside; some noodles, spicy mongol dumplings, sushi, tempura, snow peas, veggies, some fruit and mango juice. And Ikuto brought out some mango and orange chicken to go along with it and Yuki was amazed by the amount of food Ikuto brought in and said, "Wow...that's a lot of food."
"Me and my dad made it this morning." Ikuto answered.
Yuki widened her eyes in total surprise and she said to him, "I'm excited to see how it tastes. You must be a good cook."
"I try." Ikuto replied.
Yuki tried out some of the noodles and sushi and her taste buds felt like they were in heaven and just savored every single bite and she said, "So good..."
Ikuto tasted some of those as well and started out with a few veggies and snow peas and he said, "You like it?"
"I love it. This beats my mom's cooking by a landslide. Don't tell her I said that." Yuki said, with a chuckle.
Yuki reached in for some of those spicy mongol dumplings and once she tasted them, they were not only good, but pack in some heat and she said, "Whoa...those are really hot."
She sipped some of the mango juice to wash it all down and she breathed in relief and just ate some of the sushi and tempura as they were both eating, they couldn't keep their eyes off of each other and exchanged a few giggles here and there and talked with each other for a few moments. Ikuto asked, "Hey, remember when we dated a few years ago and it was almost ruined because we were spied?"
"Oh, yeah...I remember that. It was your mom and Lulu, Sally and Jeff that spied on all of us and they thought that we were mating when we were actually swimming." Yuki replied.
"And you had your swimsuit on the entire time while mine had just fallen off because I did a cannonball and I was so embarrassed when my mom saw my butt." Ikuto said, completely nervous.
Flashback; 2 years earlier
Ikuto and Yuki were having some fun at a river, just splashing each other and seeing who's the better swimmer and it was like the perfect swim date and they had thought that it was a good way to put a cap on the date by cooling off in the evening and both of them were having the time of their lives and Ikuto thought of a great idea to do a cannonball in hopes to impress Yuki.
Ikuto climbed up towards the rocks behind the waterfall to attempt his dive, yet both of them were unaware that Lulu, Jeff, Sally and Lei were spying on them the whole time watching Ikuto dive and Lulu said, "I bet they're fully clothed."
"I doubt it. Have they even mated yet?" asked Sally.
"They're both too young to mate." Lei whispered.
Soon enough, Ikuto jumped down as he did a cannonball and splashed down the river and Yuki couldn't believe what she just saw and she was very impressed by this and Ikuto popped out and just laughed and said, "What do you think?"
"You did so awesome!" Yuki cheered.
She swam towards him and just felt so proud of her boyfriend and said, "Looks like you definitely impressed me."
Ikuto smiled in response to that and he kissed her on the lips and Yuki wrapped her arms around him as he wrapped his arms around her, evoking a very semi-passionate kiss and after that, they looked into each other's eyes for a while and he said to her, "This night is so perfect. Nothing could mess it up."
Ikuto then swam towards the right as he steps out of the water...without his trunks. Yuki was a little speechless and shocked and saw his trunks floating out of the blue and out of nowhere...
"Ikuto! Where are your trunks?!"
Ikuto looks up and sees his mother standing there and he was shocked to see her there and said, "Mom! What are you doing here?!"
"Did you swim naked?" asked Lulu, laughing.
Ikuto was then confused by what Lulu meant and when he felt a little breeze from behind, he looked down and realized that his trunks fell off and he yelped in shock and embarrassment and whined, "MOM!"
Yuki quickly came over to Ikuto, bringing his trunks and Ikuto immediately yanked those out of Yuki's hands, then runs off to put his trunks back on and Sally said, "You guys weren't mating, were you?"
Yuki was definitely embarrassed for Ikuto because the one part of the date was messed up a little bit because they spied on them during this moment and she just buried herself underwater for a while in deep embarrassment.
Reality
"How long did you stay underwater?" asked Ikuto.
"For 10 minutes." Yuki answered.
Ikuto sighed at this and he just felt completely humiliated by what just happened and said, "Why my mom spied on me, I will never know. And bringing Jeff, Lulu and Sally into the mix made it worse."
"Well...they're not here right now." Yuki said, smiling.
Hearing those words made Ikuto smile with reassuring relief and he said, "You're right. We're both having fun with each other...enjoying every moment we have."
"I'm so happy that you're my boyfriend." Yuki said, nudging close to Ikuto's forehead.
Ikuto's forehead got closer to Yuki's and he said, "Not as happy as I am to have you as my girlfriend."
Both of them kissed each other on the lips very tenderly and it was one of those moments that would never ever end and after just a few minutes of tender, they went forward passionately as their tongues explored each other's mouths for a good 10 minutes and the embrace made Ikuto's tail wag very slowly, but he was happy regardless that he has Yuki by his side.
After 10 minutes of passionate kissing, Ikuto said to her, "I want to make a promise with you; that I'll always stay by your side and protect you forever. I'll do anything for you to make sure you're loved...even if it means spending the rest of my life with you."
"I know you'll fulfill that promise, Ikuto." Yuki said, in a half-whisper while stroking his short hair.
Ikuto smiled and he whispered in her ear, "Let's skin dip together."
"Sounds like fun." Yuki said, smiling.
How awesome was that date? Next up...Kuzan and Ikuto meet face to face!
