RokugatsuShichi, finally here! Sorry about uploading this chapter a day late! I couldn't upload it yesterday for some reason...I ended up typing this again at school. This chapter is about the rest of Hikari's and Kei's date. I also mentioned a bit of Episode 6 at the end, Chapter 12 (I think) for people who read the manga. As always, enjoy! :)
Previously…
"Congratulations, Hikari. You got your period," Kei said.
Chapter 8
Hikari looked at Kei with a dazed look. She looked so out of it that Kei started getting worried. Suddenly Hikari broke out into a huge smile. She squealed in happiness and jumped at Kei, hugging him.
"It's here! It's here!" she yelled. Kei tried his best not to look at Hikari's lower body, but Hikari was straddling him. Kei sighed and peeled Hikari off. He had to control himself, at least until they were married.
"Put on your skirt," Kei commanded.
"Why?" Hikari asked blankly. Kei smacked his forehead.
"You have to go to the bathroom to take care of your period," he replied.
"Okay, okay," Hikari said. She put it on quickly.
"Let's go," Kei said, starting to go out.
"Um, Kei…" Hikari started to say. Kei stopped.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Um...how do I...take care of my...period?" Hikari asked innocently. Kei smacked his forehead again. This meant he had to teach her EVERYTHING?! Kei sighed at the task he had to do.
"Wait here," he said as he left the drying room. The crowd that had once surrounded the Challenge was now in line riding it. Kei looked around and spotted the gift shop that Hikari had been in before meeting up with him. 'I have to ask Hikari what that guy gave her,' Kei noted as he made his way over to the gift shop.
"Excuse me," Kei asked the clerk girl, "does this gift shop sell pads?"
"Pads?" the clerk girl repeated as she gave Kei a strange look.
"Yes, pads for my girlfriend," Kei said in annoyance.
"Oh, that's right! Sorry sir, this shop only sells tampons for our female riders. Would that be alright?" the clerk girl asked. Tampons?!
"That'll be fine. I'll take them," Kei said while pulling out his wallet. The clerk girl rummaged through the cabinet under the cash register and pulled out a box. Kei handed her the money.
"Oh, and one more thing!" the clerk girl called out.
"Yes?" Kei said.
"You forgot the shirt that you and your girlfriend earned," she said, holding up a "I rode the Challenge!" shirt.
"I'll take a green one and a baby blue one," Kei told her. The clerk girl nodded and handed him the two shirts.
"Have a nice day!" she said, smiling. Kei nodded and went back to the drying room, where Hikari was standing outside.
"I thought I told you to wait," Kei said.
"I did, but a group of people who rode the Challenge came in dripping wet, so I left. They need the drying room more than me," Hikari explained.
"I see. Well, let's get to the bathroom," Kei said.
"Um, Kei…" Hikari began, twiddling her fingers.
"Yes?" Kei said.
"How do I put on tampons? Okaa-chan only taught me how to put on pads in case, so…" Hikari finished. Kei looked to the side, a blush spreading on his cheeks. If only Akira, Megumi or Sakura were here! Even Finn would be better than Kei! Oh, that's right! Hikari had the cell phone that he gave her!
"Go to the bathroom and call Akira, Megumi, or Sakura. If they don't answer, call Finn," Kei directed her.
"Got it!" Hikari said, as she ran to the bathroom. Kei leaned against the pole and waited for her, checking the time. 3:14 p.m. The movie started at 4:00 p.m. and lasted two hours. Then it would be a thirty minute ride to the restaurant he made reservations for, arriving at 6:30 p.m. Takishima Kei always made sure to plan things perfectly. Kei peeked in the bag with the T-shirts and Hikari's gift. He couldn't wait to see Hikari wear the gift he picked out. He especially designed it for her himself.
"Kei!" Hikari called out, catching his attention. Her face was flushed as she bounded over to him- damn, why did that shirt show so much cleavage?! Every bounce she took made her boobs bounce up and-
Damn. Kei felt a nosebleed coming.
"Kei, the tampon went straight into my, um...you know...Won't that take my everything?" Hikari asked. Kei zipped up her jacket. He couldn't take the sight of her cleavage anymore.
"No, Hikari," Kei said, smiling, "I'm going to take your everything." Hikari instantly turned red and dropped into a defensive karate pose.
"What are you doing?" Kei asked.
"Eto...protecting myself?" Hikari replied uncertainly.
"Let's get out of here!" Kei said in amusement as he smacked her head with her baby blue "I rode the Challenge!" shirt.
"I'll be right back!" Hikari promised as she dashed in the lingerie store. Kei glanced at the mannequins as he sat down on the bench. Why did Hikari want to come to this store again? Kei scrolled through his flawless memory.
"I need new underwear, since the one I have is red now. I'll be right back!" Hikari promised as she dashed in the lingerie store.
Ah, that's why. Hikari better hurry up, or they'll miss the movie. Then again, that wouldn't be such a problem. As Kei was the future CEO of Takishima Corporation, and he happened to own that particular movie theatre, he could start the movie anytime he wanted to. He also made sure that he and Hikari had a movie room all to themselves. Perfect. Kei noticed Hikari walk out of the store and come towards him.
"Ready?" Kei asked, standing up.
"Yup. Let's go," Hikari said, starting to walk towards the theatre. Kei grabbed her arm and reached inside his bag, handing her the item in his hand. HIkari's eyes softened and touched the silky blue fabric.
"Thank you, Kei!" Hikari said as she hugged him. Kei smiled at her reaction. He had saved the dress that Hikari had worn at Yahiro's party. Rather, he saved what was left of the dress. He had skillfully made the rips on the ends into ruffles, and also modified the dress a little, as Hikari had grown a bit.
Hikari looked at the dress that had once been a floor-length gown. Now it reached above her knees. The dress brought back memories, as the party had been the first time she realized that Kei might have been in love with her. And he was.
"Thank you Takishima!" Hikari said once again. She clutched the dress to her chest.
"Let's go now," Kei said. Hikari nodded and followed. Kei smiled. She had called him 'Takishima'. Hikari's personality was still the same, even know, when they were engaged.
"Takishima Kei and Hanazono Hikari," Kei told the ticket collector. He nodded and let them inside.
"Wow, so fancy!" Hikari exclaimed.
"It is a new movie theatre, after all. If you want, you can change into the dress," Kei said. Hikari nodded and sped to the bathroom. She came out two seconds later.
"Oyasumi," Hikari said.
"Hai," Kei replied. Hikari took his arm and they made their way to the theatre room.
"When did you change into a tuxedo?" Hikari asked.
"Don't worry about it," Kei replied.
So there it is! I wanted to add details about their dinner, but I thought that focusing on Hikari and Kei too much would be...too much. Next is about Ryuu, Finn, Jun, and Megumi! Thanks for reviewing and reading! I also will accept suggestions if you want a chapter on a certain pair. Ja ne! m(_)m
