A Nice Day Out

Zaki leaned against the bathroom door. “Yurika, you've been preening for the past hour! I wanna go!”
Akira rolled her eyes. “Zakirin, you know that Yurika-chan takes forever to get ready. You need to learn patience.”
“I'll patiently stomp you into the ground, Akira.” She growled. The knob turned and the older woman pushed herself off of the door. Yurika exited wearing rather normal clothes. She was clad in a blue blouse, a dark skirt, and purple leggings.
Zaki's eyes pinched up into a hidden grin. “Oh, looks like somebody is expecting to meet someone today.”
Yurika fidgeted, putting her hands behind her back. “I-I just wanted to look a little normal for a change. Y'know, blend in a little...”
Akira stood up. “I know what you mean.” She looked down, realizing that she was still in her uniform. “Lemme go change really quick and I'll be ready to go too.”
Zaki groaned. “You're just as bad at her!”
“Shaddap.” Akira muttered, rummaging through her dresser. “Maybe you should take off that mask, you'll scare children.”
“Good.” Zaki folded her arms. “Fear is healthy for them.”
The two continued their light banter while Akira changed into her fatigue-patterned tank top and ripped jeans. Zaki's attitude and status made a good match for Akira's rough upbringing. The two acted more like sisters than classmates. A pleased look came over Yurika's face.
I have good friends…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Due to the discount fare, Ziggy Amusment Park was filled with students. The three girls had to practically swim through the crowd to get to a free area.
Yurika looked up. Much to her surprise, there stood Kyosuke, surrounded by Taiyo students. She froze. Zaki ended up tripping over herself and bumped into Yurika.
“What the hell?” She snapped. “Yurika?”
Yurika slunk past the two girls, attempting to shrink in the crowd.
Akira quickly grew concerned. “Yurika-chan, what's the matter?”
Zaki's eyes slid from Yurika to the redhead, some distance away. Her concern melted and once again, her eyes were crinkled up into that knowing smile, hidden behind her mask.
“So you were expecting someone.” She jeered. “He sure is a looker, isn't he? He's all distinguished, just like you.”
Yurika crossed her arms. “We barely know each other.”
“Ah, Yurika-san!” Kyosuke waved to her. Yurika's uneasiness increased when he and his friends drew closer. Zaki was enjoying this way too much. “So, we meet again.”
“Again?!” Akira exclaimed. Suddenly, Yurika was on the spot.
Zaki peered into her face. “Are you wearing lipstick?”
“No.” Yurika sucked in her lips to hide them. She winced at the waxy flavor. Everyone turned their attention to Kyosuke.
“Um, so...” Kyosuke tugged on his earlobe in response to the tension. “...what brings you here...?”
Yurika's eyes darted to the side, searching for an answer. Just then, the P.A. Blared with campy carnival music.
“ATTENTION! ATTENTION! OUR SEA-FRIEND EXTRAVAGANZA WILL BE STARTING IN FIFTEEN MINUTES! COME SEE DOLPHINS, SEALS, AND KILLER WHALES! DON'T BE CAUGHT HIGH DRY COZ IT'S SURE TO MAKE A SPLASH!”
Yurika grinned. “We've come to see the dolphin show!”
“We did?--” Akira received a sharp but discreet elbow to the ribs from Yurika, correcting her. “Yeah, I, uh, love dolphins and shit.”
“We should all go!” added Hinata.
Making their way to the auditorium, Akira turned around and gave Yurika a swift punch to the gut. The girl hugged her stomach, doubling over in pain.
“...Why...?” She growled.
“Payback.” Akira shrugged. “A simple poke could have done fine.”
“Alright.” Zaki rubbed Yurika's back. “C'mon, pick yourself up. Don't wanna keep Kyosuke waiting.”
Yurika whimpered. Coming to a stand, she lumbered after them.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All the seats had been taken except for the last two rows. The sudden influx of people separated her from Akira and Zaki and she found ended up alone.
Kyosuke sat down behind her. “So you got pulled away from everyone too?”
“Yeah,” Yurika averted her eyes.
“You look a little strange without your violin. Do you take that thing with you everywhere?” He asked.
Yurika nodded. “It's kind of my security blanket...and insurance. You can never be too careful.”
The show began with a couple of seals playing “Sukiyaki” on an arranged set of horns. Though the song sounded a little simple and stiff, it was still decent. The people applauded, even Yurika, and the seals got a fish as their reward. Next, came the dolphins. They jumped through hoops and a girl stood on the tip of one of their noses. A couple of them jumped up and clapped. Finally, the killer whale came out.
“I think you should move.” Kyosuke suggested.
“Why?” Yurika turned around. He was already gone. Just then, a wave of water crashed over them both. Drenched, Yurika sat there in horror. Ashamed, she got up and ran out.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yurika wasn't sure how far she had ran but the fact that she was in the woods showed that she was far from the park. The sky was growing dark, the stars coming to life.
“Yurika!” Kyosuke was running up to her. Had he been following her this whole time? He stopped short and doubled over, breathing hard. “Sorry...running isn't my forte...”
She clenched the handle of her case. “It's alright.”
He looked down at the instrument. “Is your violin okay?”
“Yes.” She held it up, inspecting it. “The casing is airtight and waterproof.”
He stood up. “Good.”
Kyosuke realized that he had been staring at her for an uncomfortably long time. Her shirt was partially transparent from the water. He could see that she wore a lacy, lavender bra today. Warmth crept up his cheeks. Kyosuke immediately turned away from the girl in an attempt to keep from staring at her too long. Yurika could sense that he was looking at something that he shouldn't have seen and crossed her arms over her chest.
“Lucky your hair didn't get wet.” Kyosuke put a hand on her head in a playful gesture. “It looks cute.”
“Thanks.” She fought off the urge to shiver. “It takes a couple of hours to set...”
“Um,” Kyosuke pulled off his jacket and offered it to her. “Don't want you to catch a cold.”
“I'm fine.” Yurika hugged herself tighter.
Kyosuke put his arms around the girl and draped his jacked over her shoulders.
“You should really learn how to accept things.” He chided.
“Now, let's see about getting outta here.” He scratched the back of his head. “I think I can see the lights.”
Yurika nodded while slipping her arms through the sleeves of the jacket. It was so long that it came down past her hands but she appreciated the warmth it provided. She pulled the jacket closer around her.
“If we end up catching a show, we should try to sit in the back.” She suggested.
“Good idea.” He made an about-face. “Um, are you having fun with me?”
“Of course.” Yurika spit out the words, startled by his abruptness.
A glint of metal caught Kyosuke's eye. He flung Yurika to the ground and attempted to block. The blade landed in his shoulder, sinking into the flesh. The redhead cried out and held his arm, stumbling back. Yurika scooped up her violin without any word. She pulled the bow down with a sharp motion. The attacker stumbled out of the woods with his hands pressed to his head. His body contorted in agony before he flopped to the ground. She immediately recognized what he was.
“An assassin...?” She breathed.
“Behind you!” Kyosuke barked.
Yurika spun around, bringing her bow up to block. The projectile connected with the reinforced wood and bounced out of the air. The second assassin charged full steam at her, brandishing a large sword. The man stabbed the blade at her. She quickly ducked down underneath the weapon and rose up, jabbing her elbow into the bottom of his chin. Blood and teeth flew into the air. The assassin reeled back in pain. Kyosuke came in from the side, finishing the assailant off with a vicious roundhouse kick.
“Bastard.” He spat.
“You're hurt.” Yurika ran up to him. The shuriken was lodged in the meat of his arm. Yurika raised her hand to touch it.
“Don't!” Kyosuke flinched.
“I wasn't going to do anything but get a good look at it.” Yurika was eerily calm. “Let me see.”
Hesitantly, Kyosuke shifted to give her full view of his injury. She studied it for a moment. She then grabbed it and pulled it out with a quick motion.
“What the hell?!” Kyosuke pressed his other hand over the wound. “You made it worse...You...”
His knees gave out and he fell to the ground. He could feel blood seeping out from between his fingers. Yurika dropped to her knees and placed a hand over his shoulder.
“As I thought,” She watched the bloodied shuriken on the ground. “...Poison...”
“Yurika...” The man's vision began to fail. Everything morphed into indistinct shadows. He could hear more voices. All his nerves prickled with a sensation akin to being dunked in ice-water. Everything had spun into darkness. Within a few moments, all that remained was silence.
