Chapter 2:Date
Oh,God,Yu thought as he did up his shirt,I've done it now.I lied to a hypnotic serial killer who'll kill me if she smells anything suspicious.
He tied his tie,and looked at himself in the mirror,making sure the tape recorder he had in his pocket was recording.
I gotta be careful...anything could happen tonight.
He walked out the door,and locked it,like he always did,and knew that in order
for his plan to go right,he had to get Rei to talk more about Rabbit Doubt.
How to do that without raising suspicion...now that was another story.
He had chosen a nice resturant,since he wanted to seem nice,plus it would have been a good way to gauge how far she was willing to play her little game.
"That sounds wonderful!",he remembered her saying."Pick me up at eight,OK?"
Yep...nonchalantly playing this off as a date to try and trap her probably wasn't the best idea...but Yu had asked her,and she said yes.
When he picked up Rei,she had actually dressed relatively fancy,albeit in a frilly Gothic Lolita dress,complete with a pair of white gloves.
"Wow,"Yu said,"You actually look...really nice."
She smiled a cutesy smile,and said,"You expected less?"
"Well,no...I just didn't expect...",I pause.I try and find a word for how I expected her to look,but fail miserably,and simply say,"I just didn't expect this,Rei."
She giggles at that,and says,"Well,shall we?"
She holds out her hand,and I cautiously take it.
"You don't have to be so stiff...",Rei says,pouting."I'm not gonna kill you or anything."
I raise an eyebrow,but grasp her hand more firmly to show her I believe her.
We walk to the restaurant,and I tell the waiter about my brings us to a table,and we sit across from each other.
"So,how have you been,Yu?"
I scowl slightly,since she knows how I've been locked in an abandoned medical facility,trying to figure out who the wolf was,and losing to her.
Well,this time,I'm going to win this game of wits.
I smile,and say,"Oh,you know...pretty good,I guess...how about you?"
"Well,"she says,smirking,"I've been thinking of making a new game."
"Oh?"
"...But I can't tell you about it,"she finishes,waging a finger at me.
"Come on,Rei,I survived Rabbit Doubt,can't you tell me,if just for that reason?"
She contemplates this for a minute,and finally says,"It would ruin the mood."
,I guess that's-
"But...",she continues,"If you come to my place after,maybe..."
My eyes widen at that.
My God,she...she wants to pillow talk about killing people?
"Your face says no...",she pouts again.
I'll be honest,if she wasn't a severe sociopath with a major chip on her shoulder, her pouting would get me.
Thank God for rationalism.
And besides,I think,shaking my head,if I don't do this,I might never bring Mitsuki out of suspicion.
Sleeping with the enemy...dangerous,but has to happen.
"No,no...I just didn't expect you to say that,"I say.
"You didn't think you were getting away that easy,did you?",she smirks cutely.
As the night goes on and we talk,I realize that her hatred of the world is actually pretty rational.
I mean,if you could do something amazing,and everyone didn't believe that you could actually do it,wouldn't you
despise the instigators,the non-believers,the haters,the world?
"I guess I should have expected no less from a girl who made a group of people think you were a helpless little girl
stuck in a wheelchair and first killed,when you were the
actual culprit,huh?",I say to her as a joke,and,thankfully,she laughs.
"Yeah,I had you fooled,didn't I?",she smiles."No one expects the weakest to be the culprit,but I had everyone
fooled,even the police!It's great to be a genius."
She leans back then,and I catch a glimpse of her pink polkadot panties,which I immediately reel back from.
"What is it?",Rei asks.
Then,she realizes what happened,and smiles whilst blushing."Oh,Yu...you perv..."
"No,you don't understand,Rei,I-!",I begin to explain,but I stop suddenly when I realize that everyone's looking at
me as I raise my voice and get out of my seat whilst explaining to Rei that I didn't mean to look up her dress.
She laughs while I sit back down,blushing of embarasment."Oh,Yu...,"she begins,then stops,and takes a deep
breath.
I look at Rei,and she looks into my eyes and says,"I love you,Yu."
