Kami smiled as she tried on her nicer shirt. "What do you think?" She asked the mirror. She turned around and smiled. "It's perfect." The shirt was a light blue with a snowflake design covering it. She wore a pair of jean pants. She grinned. "It's perfect."
"What are you doing?" Natsuki asked. She stood in the doorway.
"I'm just… getting dressed. I'm going out for dinner with a friend." Kami smiled. "What about you? What are you doing here?"
"I came to invite you to dinner with me? But I see you're going on a date yourself." Natsuki smiled.
Kami blushed. "It's not…. We… You won't tell anyone!"
"I won't tell." Natsuki chuckled. "And good for you. Who is it?"
"….H…Hatori." Kami smiled. "He asked me out on a date yesterday. We are going to dinner tonight…. Do you think this is a good outfit for that?"
"Yeah. It's pretty." Natsuki smiled. "And I'm happy for you."
"Thanks." Kami smiled. "Well… I'd better get going…" She smiled. "If anyone asks I'm out for dinner myself."
"Got it." Natsuki smiled.
Kami grabbed her bag and then left. She managed to leave the Kibaru land quickly, without getting spotted by any that knew of the curse. She checked her phone for the location and time and hurried, not wanting to be late. She found Hatori standing outside the restaurant and smiled. "Hi!"
"Hello." He smiled. "I was worried you forgot."
"Sorry, I was running a little late." She chuckled. "Yukio isn't the biggest fan of relationships as I told you… I had to be careful he didn't find out."
Hatori nodded. "I understand. Come inside, we have reservations." He held out his hand.
Kami smiled and took it and followed him inside. She blushed a little as a couple people looked at them. The two sat down at a table and looked at the menus. "So… Uh… Hatori…. You're a doctor right?"
"Yes. Mostly for the Sohma family, but I am a doctor." He nodded.
Kami smiled. "That's pretty cool. Have you ever thought about becoming a doctor for anyone? Not just your family?"
"Yes, but I have to take care of my family." Hatori said calmly. "I know that is what I have to do." He looked at the menu. "Our head of the family is sadly sick and I have to take care of him."
"Oh that makes sense." Kami smiled. "I bet you're a great doctor."
Hatori nodded and smiled. "So what do you want to be when you finish school?"
"I'm not sure…" Kami looked off. "I've never fully thought about it." She smiled. "All I've wanted to do is take care of my family. My cousins have always been the most important part of my life." She smiled and chuckled. "You and I are similar."
Hatori nodded. "Yes. I think that is part of why we get along so much."
The waiter came by. "Can I help you two?"
Kami ordered and Hatori ordered. The waiter took the menus and walked off. Kami watched him leave and chuckled. "It feels so stranger to be on a date."
"Is this your first date?" Hatori asked shocked.
Kami nodded. "This is my first time." She blushed and looked down. "I guess you have been on a date before."
Hatori nodded thinking of Kana. "It has been a long time."
Kami smiled. "You're a really sweet guy."
Hatori looked at her and then blushed. "Kami…"
"I'm glad we met." She grinned. The two of them began to talk about their family members and their paths. The two of them compared some of their cousin's attitudes and personalities. She laughed as he explained a story about Ayame when they were in high school.
"I think the school board had no idea what to do about Ayame."
"And then you stepped in and saved the day?" Kami chuckled. "You were a good cousin, but it sounded like you should have been the president instead of Ayame."
Hatori smiled. "I didn't want to be, and Ayame made a good president."
Kami smiled. "You are great." She giggled and looked up as the food came. "That smells great!" She smiled.
Hatori nodded and started eating. "The food is good."
Kami nodded.
"Thank you…" Kami flushed as they left the restaurant. She looked at Hatori as they walked. "It was fun."
Hatori nodded. "We should do this again."
Kami nodded and smiled and grabbed his hand. "Yes, we should do this again. I gave you my number so when you're free you can call."
Hatori smiled and looked down at her. "I would like that."
Kami paused as they came to the separating area. She looked at him and smiled. "I guess we'll be separating now…."
Hatori nodded. "I will call you later."
Kami looked at him and then leaned up and kissed his cheek before jogging off to head home. She blushed as she walked home. I just kissed him…. I have a boyfriend…. She grinned excitedly.
