First Date
Akira and Zaki had early classes today while Yurika's didn't start until the afternoon. She took the opportunity to be lazy and unproductive. She slept late and then woke up to read on of those women's magazines that Akira flipped through from time to time.The phone rang. Yurika groaned, forcing herself up from the bed. The phone kept ringing.“I'm coming, I'm coming!” She muttered. She picked up the phone and yawned a sleepy “Hello?”“Did I wake you?” Kyosuke's voice snapped her out of her sleepy haze.“Sorry! I didn't mean to yawn!” Yurika was mortified. “I just slept a little late!”“It's alright.” Kyosuke sounded like he was in good spirits. “I was wondering if you would like to meet up with me later today, after classes and all.”“I'll think about it.” Yurika was all for it. For some reason, she didn't want to sound too eager. “Where would you like to meet?”“Well the fountain where we first met would be nice.” Kyosuke offered.“Alright then. I'll meet you there.” She smiled. “I have to go now. Have a good day, Kyosuke.”“You too, Yurika.”*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Yurika joined the other girls for lunch. A smile played on her lips while she hummed a tune from no song in particular.“Hello!” She sang, sitting down beside them.Zaki scoffed. “You're awfully chipper.”Yurika shrugged. “What wrong with being happy?”Akira popped up from behind, pulling Zaki's cheeks until she made a funny face. “Maybe you should lighten up, too.”“Get off!” She batted the shorter girl away. “Next time you do that, you're gonna pull away stumps.”Akira stuck her tongue out at Zaki. The other girl promptly flipped Akira off, while shifting her attention to Yurika.“So you wanna grab some dinner later?”Yurika refused. “Actually, I'm meeting someone today.”Both girls looked at her with wide-eyed surprised. “Eh?!”She looked up at the clock. “Actually, I must be going! I'll see you later.”She scooped up her book bag and violin case and hurried off.“...Yeah...” Muttered Akira.“...Later...” Grumbled Zaki.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Kyosuke sat on the edge of the park fountain, waiting. He wore his usual black sweater with some khaki pants. At the last minute, he decided to forgo the jacket.He had been waiting for about fifteen minutes. Why was he here? Yurika hadn't called back. When they had spoken, she didn't give any indication that she was interested. So the question remained. Occasionally, he would crane his head over to see if she was coming from either direction but he didn't see her. He began to tap his foot, nervously.If it were anyone else, it would have been easy to remain calm—but Yurika wasn't anyone else. He remembered their first meeting. She was about to throw herself in the river and he had interrupted it. Then they fought and after that he found himself defending her.Raking a hand through his hair, he gave a frustrated groan. “What the hell is wrong with me?”“Kyosuke-san?”Kyosuke snapped out of his thoughts to see Yurika standing before him. He didn't even hear her approach. He had heard that Kirishima ninjas were good at sneaking up on people. Yurika wouldn't be an exception. The woman was clad in a light blue sun-dress with a pink, button up sweater. She seemed to have an affinity for light blue.He cracked a smile. “I almost thought you wouldn't show.”Yurika shrugged. “I had some free time so I got permission to leave the campus.”Kyosuke stood up and dusted off his pants. “I was thinking we could go back to the amusement park...”Yurika agreed, so the two headed there. They were both quiet during the walk. Neither of them were very good at conversation. Finally, Yurika spoke.“So what made you ask me out?”Kyosuke shrugged. “I guess I just like your company. You seem to understand me a lot more than most of the people I know.”“I'm just surprised that you like me at all...” Yurika looked down at her feet. “...after what happened to Hyo-san...”“...About my brother...” He pinched his brow to brace for the slight headache. It would be too difficult to explain his feelings but he was sure forgiveness was in there somewhere. In fact, he wasn't even sure if he quite understood it himself.He looked up into Yurika's nervous face.“...Never mind. Would you like to ride the ferris wheel? It's pretty low-impact so I'm sure that I can handle it.”Yurika merely nodded.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Kyosuke stepped into the car. It has stopped a little high off the ground so he offered his hands out to pull Yurika up. The girl pulled on him, using the bottom of the car to hoist herself up. Kyosuke pulled a little too hard and she ended up tripping onto him. Kyosuke grunted, feeling the cold steel his his side. Pain shot up to his old wound.“Are you alright?” Yurika tried to help him up but only held on to him for fear that she'd end up applying pressure to some place painful.“I'm fine.” He gave a feeble grin. “I just hit something.”She pulled the door shut, while he sat upright. After a few moments, the ferris wheel kicked into motion.The sun dipped behind the hills. The sky was streaked with the oranges and purples of sunset. Even with the rumble of the roller-coasters and the squeals of patrons, it was a beautiful sight.Suddenly, the wheel gave a miserable groan. It slowed to a halt. The two looked around, baffled.“What happened?” Yurika grew anxious.“It seems that we've stopped.” Kyosuke peered over the edge. “I think something happened with the power.”Yurika made a worried groan. She looked down at her fidgeting legs. They were pretty high up, nearly at the top. There was no way that they could get down on their own. Kyosuke watched her. He was worried too but did his best to hide it.“I'm sure we'll be fine.” Kyosuke reassured her. He put his hand over hers.“Alright then...” Yurika muttered.A few minutes passed. They hadn't moved but the initial anxiety had eased.“You know, it's pretty nice up here.” Yurika brushed a stray lock of hair from her face. “I feel like I'm safe. Nothing bad can touch me up here.”Kyosuke nodded. “I know what you mean.”The clunk of metal caused them to jump in alarm. The both gave surprised gasps, looking around frantically. The ferris wheel had kicked into motion.“We've started moving....” Yurika voice was tinged with disappointment. She looked down at her hand to see that it was still entwined with Kyosuke's. An icy breeze blew over them. Yurika shivered and scooted closer to Kyosuke. In turn, he pulled his hand from hers and wrapped his arms around her.For the rest of the night, they played more games but Kyosuke and Yurika steered clear of the rides. Before they knew it, the P.A was announcing that the park would be closing soon. Beaming with childish felicity, they both bolted out of the park.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*They decided to stop at a restaurant to divide up their spoils. Between the two of them, they had one nearly a dozen small, stuffed animals and a large teddy bear. After a mild argument, it was agreed. Kyosuke would take the smaller plushies while Yurika got the largest one. Not only was the bear large but its fur was an obnoxious shade of copper-red. It stared back at him with sad, brown eyes.“Bah, good riddance.” He muttered. “The think looks like it's about to burst into tears.”Yurika turned the bear around to look at it. “I think it looks a little like you.”Kyosuke clicked his tongue. “Like me?!”“Yup.” She turned around the bear, gesturing it so that it seemed like it was talking. “I'm surly because I don't have my glasses.”“You brat!” He growled.The waiter arrived with their food. Surprisingly, their banter had caused them to develop quite an appetite. Their attention shifted to their meals and they ate in silence.Kyosuke's watch chirped a couple of feeble beeps.“What time is it?” Yurika asked.“Ten.” He raised his wrist to turn off the alarm.“Seriously?!” Yurika grew distressed. “I have to get back! I'm past my curfew!”Yurika jumped up with Kyosuke following behind her. He paid for their meal and they rushed to the train station.*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*The train chugged along, blurring the scenery beyond recognition. Kyosuke and Yurika had nearly missed the train, squeezing into the doors before the cars shut for good. They sat beside each other, silent. Yurika held the over-sized teddy bear in her lap.“Um,” Kyosuke licked his lips. “Do you think that you'll make it back in time?”“No. I'll probably be a little late.” She pulled the bear closer to her body. “Thank you, though.”“Sorry,” Kyosuke sighed. “I should have been paying attention. I guess I was enjoying myself a little too much and--” He stopped himself at the last statement. “What I meant was...um...”Yurika turned to him with a smile. “I had a good time tonight.”Kyosuke smiled back. “So did I. It would be nice to meet up with you again. Maybe you could bring your violin and we could play something together.”“Of course!” Yurika concurred. “I would really like that.”The train screeched to a halt. They stepped out and walked to the dock. The ferryman slouched against his seat. He stirred upon hearing the approaching footsteps.“Sorry.” Yurika apologized. He merely responded with a nod and started up the boat.“Well, I suppose this is where we part.” Kyosuke shrugged. “I suppose I'll let you go.”Yurika walked up to him. “Thank you, Kyosuke.”She stood on her tiptoes and planted a small kiss on his lips. Kyosuke stood there, motionless. Yurika frowned.“Did I do something wrong?”“Oh...no. No, no!” Kyosuke laughed nervously, backing away. “I just, uh..” He nearly tripped over his own feet. He forced his composure back.“Sorry,” He blushed. “Good night, Yurika.”The girl hurried on to the ferry and the two parted ways. Kyosuke watched as the ferry plodded away. He brought his hands up, letting his finger graze his lips.“...Yurika...” He whispered. “You're welcome.”While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
