Yato's POV
I woke up at the sound of screams. I opened my eyes and saw Kimiko's face inches away from mine. We had been sleeping on the roof cuddled up. My face got red, then I remembered what happened last night. She moved around, then she woke up, blushing and smiling. "Good morning, Yato," she said and I answered "Good morning, Kimiko."
Then, all of a sudden I heard female voices yelling "STAY AWAY FROM HER YOU PERVERT!!!!" I was hit in the head by a frozen bucket of ice cream and some bottles of beer. It was Aika and Catnip. At this point, Natasha and Nicollete also hit me. They all huddled around Kimiko "What did he do to you?" asked Natasha. "Did he touch you inappropriately?" asked Aika. "SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!!!!!!" yelled Kimiko. "He didn't do anything like that!" she said glaring angrily at them. Aika grinned and said "Or maybe you just gave him permission..." Kimiko smirked and said, "Yato, you know what to do."
I got all the ice cream supply and melted it with my alchemy. Aika got on the floor and cried "I'M SORRY KIMIKO I WAS JOKING PLEAAAASE!!!!" Then Kimiko nodded at me and I restored the ice cream. Aika was happy and started eating it. We all got off the roof and into the house. Then Catnip asked "What happened anyways?" and Kimiko said "N-none of your business."
Breakfast was awkward. Everyone was quiet until Sanji said, "You know, we heard everything last night." Then Kimiko and I spit out our milk. Did he know? Who else knew? Then Zach said, "We ALL heard it."
"Yup" said Aika. "Every last word of it," said Natasha. Kimiko's face and mine were probably as red as planet Mars. Sanji mockingly said, "I said it once, and I'll say it a million times more. I love yo-" then I transmuted a fist from the ground to punch him in the face.
"So," said Aika "Are you dating now?" Kimiko and I spit out our milk again. "I-I-I guess you could say that. C-can they, K-K-Kimiko?" I stammered. Her face was glowing red when she said, "Y-y-yes... I guess you c-could say that..." "Well then," said Sanji. "How about I reserve Karashi just for you two lovebirds?" We looked at each other and I said "Sounds great, wanna go, Kimiko?"
"Yeah, great," she answered.
Kimiko's POV
After breakfast, I got up from the dining table and headed to my room to get ready for my date with Yato. I heard the other girls giggling behind me and I rolled my eyes. I reached my room door, entered and tried my best to quickly shut the door before the girls could enter. But as I was closing it, Aika stuck her foot in before it could close, and Catnip and Nicolette pushed on the door. I stumbled back, letting the door swing wide open. The girls entered and Natasha closed the door quickly, then locked it.
"Don't think we'd leave you alone," Aika grinned.
"God, you guys, leave me alone," I groaned. "I need to get ready."
"And that's why we're here!" Catnip said, already rummaging through my closet, taking clothes and handing them to the sisters who were next to her.
I looked at them through narrow eyes. "I'm pretty sure I can get ready myself," I grumbled.
"Oh, sweetie, have you seen the way you dress?" Aika asked, leading me to a chair.
"And your hair," Nicolette said, walking over with a pile of clothes in her arms.
"And your face," Catnip said.
I made a face at her. "Gee, thanks, Cat."
"I didn't mean it like that I meant... There's a reason why make up was invented. That reason is so that you can wear it," she told me.
"Make up...?" I said, unenthusiastically. They all grinned back at me. Nicolette laid the clothes down in a row and they all hovered over them. They whispered and pointed, and the feeling of dread in my stomach kept getting stronger and stronger. I sighed and looked out the window. I waited for them to decide on what I would wear, since there was nothing I could do to stop them. My mind drifted to Yato and our conversation last night. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I smiled slightly.
I was brought back to earth by Catnip, who yelled frustrated, "God! Don't you have any good clothes?!"
"Uh..." I stuttered.
"Fine then," she sighed. "I'll go get some of my clothes."
"No!" I exclaimed. There was no way I'd wear Catnip' clothes. All she had was either shorts/dresses that were so short they should be illegal, and pants so tight you could hardly breath. I mean, I'm guessing. I don't actually know since I've never tried on her clothes and don't plan to.
"Um, maybe I can give you some of my clothes for the date," Aika said noticing my expression at the idea of using Catnip's clothes.
"Your clothes....?" I said, making a face involuntarily.
"What?" Aika raised an eyebrow.
I sighed and shook my head. "Nothing," I muttered. I considered taking their energy away, but that'd mean having Aika, Canip, Natasha, and Nicolette's energy. Afterwards, I'd probably just feel so tired, I'd just fall asleep before we even reached the restaurant.
"Hm..." Nicolette murmured. "I guess this'll do," she said, holding up a black dress I didn't even know I had.
I stared at it and then made my comment. "A dress?" I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh jeesh, can you never be pleased?" Nicolette scoffed.
"You could always wear my clothes," Catnip said.
"The dress it is," I stood up, took the dress from Nicolette and went to change. I returned to the girls and saw Catnip setting up a make-up box an Nicolette with hair supplies. "Oh no..." I said.
"Oh yes!" Aika grinned then dragged me to the chair.
"Just leave me aloneee," I whined. "No makeup!"
"Yes. Now hush," Aika told me.
I whined again and the sisters started combing my hair. "Ow!" I yelled as they pulled at a knot.
"Hold still. If not your face will look like a clown's," Catnip ordered me.
I sighed and stood as still as I could. After a while of Catnip poking at my face with brushed, and the sisters messing with my hair (and Aika grinning while eating a bucket of ice cream), they stepped back and declared I was ready. I walked over to the mirror and stared at myself. "Holy shit," I stated bluntly. I glanced at the girls and stood there beaming.
Aika walked over, grabbed my hand and pushed me to the door. "Now go sweetie," she said. "You're ready now." She opened the door, pushed me out and closed it quickly. I heard the lock click and I sighed. Then I took a deep breath and went downstairs.

Kimiko went downstairs and saw Yato standing by the door in a tux and his hair all combed. She said "Hi." and Yato said "Hi"there was a moment of silence. Then Yato said "Wow! You look amazing!" Kimiko blushed and said "Thanks... Let me guess, Sanji made you wear the tux and fix your hair, didn't he?" then Yato said "Yeah... did the girls fix YOU up?" and Kimiko said "Yes." then she messed up Yato's hair a little. "That's better," she said "You don't look like yourself with your hair so combed." Then they smiled and started walking towards the restaurant holding hands.
The arrived at the Baratie. Sanji opened the door having expected them "Good evening lady and Yato. Welcome to the Baratie, I hope you two lovebirds enjoy your night here. Have a wonderful time." The place was beautiful and it was jut them and Sanji. Sanji took their orders and gave them their food. They had a wonderful night and the food was amazing. They exchanged crazy stories and had good fun.
They were at the front door, Yato kissed her, then pulled back, looked at her for a moment, and said "... You know what? Screw it, our first date should be legendary, don't you think? The night is young and we only had dinner, so let's go have some fun. Go get changed." Kimiko grinned, Yato knew she agreed, and then they both went to get changed. Yato was wearing his usual clothes, his hoodie and a t-shirt with some jeans. "Sooo" said Kimiko, clearly excited about how the rest of the night would turn out. In an attempt to be somewhat romantic, I stroked her hair and said "Wherever destiny takes us, darling.Love always finds a way to the most awesome place for a first date." She giggled and they set off on a journey in search of the perfect place for the most amazing date ever.
Kimiko and Yato lived in a small city, so the best they could get for a date was bowling. After a while Kimiko said "Ok I don't want to be rude, but I don't think this is exactly the best date ever as you said it would be." "Agreed" said Yato. They got out of the bowling alley and started walking down the road. Then Yato's face shone bright as he came up with an idea. "Best date ever... In a small town like this? Yeah right. We shouldn't limit ourselves. The perfect date is just out there, waiting to be discovered, by us." he said. Kimiko looked at him, intrigued, and asked, raising an eyebrow "Sooo, if not in this small town, where can we go?" With that, Yato put his hands around Kimiko's waist, and started carrying her on his back, laughing as he said "Anywhere you want, baby!" "Camping in the mountains" said Kimiko laughing hysterically. "Let's not limit ourselves to that! How about the beach?!?!" And they set off to the unknown, laughing like maniacs.
Yato's POV
So Kimiko and I got a train ticket to the nearest yet most beautiful beach in the area. It seemes like ths first day was gonna be quite something. The ride only took 45 minutes. At one point, Kimiko asked "Hmm, shouldn't we have told the others about us leaving?" then I started laughing and said "Oh that' hilarious!... Oh wait you're serious... Nah, they're not children, besides, this is OUR special night." So we got off, and went straight to the cabin I got, then we changed and went to the beach. This time it was different than last time. Last time we were shy, and we weren't anywhere damn near as happy as we are now. We played volleyball, we went swimming, we built sandcastles, and we ate a midnight snack together. We made a campfire, and we started looking at the stars.
We looked at each other, and we grinned like idiots, then we heard a song being played at another party. I got up, gave my hand to Kimiko, and said "Good evening my beautiful maiden, would you give me the honor and privilige of dancing to this fine melody with me?" She got up, took my hand, then said "Why yes of course? Shall we?" and we started slow dancing. It was so romantic. I said "I love you." and Kimiko said "I love you too." We headed up to the cabin and layed in the amazingly comfortable king-sized beds. After a while, I looked at Kimiko and said "Best first date ever, am i right?" we kissed, she pulled back, and she said "Definetly" In attempts of being smooth and romantic, I said "Any date with you is the best date ever." She smiled, kissed me, and said "Goodnight." and I said "Goodnight." And we went to sleep.
The next morning... Yet again I was awoken by screams. At first they were just muffled and I could sort of hear them through the walls, but I didn't mind them and I kept sleeping. But they got louder and louder until the wall was destroyed, and the second time in 2 mornings, I was greeted by an icecream bucket and a bottle of beer thrown at my face. I was quickly tied to the posts of the bed and Kimiko was taken away. Kimiko was about to cut them to pieces when she realized who the people were. None other than Catnip, Aika, Nicollet, and Natasha. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU GUYS?!?!?!" i asked. Aika punched me and said "WE'RE asking the questions, pervert." I glared at her, and so did Kimiko, but she continued "Now... How, when, and WHERE did you touch and/or stare, at Kimiko last night?!?!?!?!" To which I could only replied "I looked at all of her... WITH HER CLOTHES ON... I touched only her face, and I touched it gently... Does that answer your questions? Because I have some of my own. Now, riddle me this: HOW AND WHY DID YOU FIND US?!?!?!??" Aika said "Before I answer those questions, I have to ask Kimiko if what you're saying is true. is it?" and Kimiko glared at her saying "You know the answer you idiot" then i was finally untied. "How'd u find us anyways?" asked Kimiko "AND WHY?!?!?" I asked incredibly annoyed that they came to ruin my romantic moment with Kimiko. Aika said "Oh that. I woke up in the middle of the night when Kimiko was changing to go to the beach with you so i followed you guys along with everyone else. Sanji and Zach stayed at home though because they said they "respect your relationship" and they didn't want to. We lost you when we got off the train because we stoped to get icecream and lost track of you two, but finally we found you."
We were on our way home, and I was moping because Kimiko was being swarmed by the other girls and they wouldn't let me anywhere near her. But I looked at Kimiko, and I thought of all the great times we've had together, especially yesterday. And i started thinking, I'm the luckiest man alive, i shouldn't be complaining. Besides, even if she's with her friends a lot of the time, I'd still get to see her just about every day... But back then... It never occured to me that it would all change.
