[Day: Friday, March 21st. Time: 8:30 p.m.] [Weather: Cool, clear night sky.] [Kyon's on a date! He arrives in Harajuku, where Kaoru is supposed to be.] [Mini Start!] * Kyon parks his bike up on the curb near the station, and trades his helmet for a dark red bowler hat. He's not wearing a jacket, but instead a dark brown button-down shirt open halfway with a matching t-shirt underneath, and a pair of dark, dark red jeans, with his dark grey boots. He stalks towards the entrance to the station, and takes a look around. * Kaoru is there. He's got a blue and white windbreaker, blue jeans and a brown shirt. Not every exciting attire, all things considered. * Kyon waves tersely at him as he walks up. "Hey." * Kaoru looks up at Kyon, "Hey, you came." * Kyon smirks down at him. "There's a way to start things off. Challenge my honor." I've been stood up before. * Kyon shakes his head bemusedly. "Can't imagine how that could happen." He pulls off his hat, reaches into his pocket, pulls out a silver cross necklace on a black satin string, and puts it around his (own) neck. * Kaoru shrugs. "So, where shall we go?" * Kyon replaces his hat and looks down at him sidewise. "Hungry?" * Kaoru nods. "Sounds like a good idea. * Kyon nods quickly, and moves smoothly over towards the street, waiting to cross it. "Anything you'd like?" * Kaoru follows. "Nothing in particular. Not in the mood for seafood, though." * Kyon looks down at him sidewise as he crosses the street and turns to the right. "Italian OK? Know a good place on Meiji." Sure, that'll be okay. * Kyon nods, turns the corner to the left, and strides down the street, trusting Kaoru to keep up. "Seem excited." * Kaoru follows. "Ehhh... I've got a lot on my mind. Sorry" * Kyon turns and smirks at him as he walks along. "Yeah? What?" * Kaoru shakes his head. "It's my sister. She's been... agitated, recently. More than usual." * Kyon looks forward, and crosses the intersection, then waits to cross again to the opposite corner. "Yeah? Any reason?" I have no idea. * Kyon looks down at him for a second, then crosses the street again. "Anything you can do?" I don't know. We try a therapist, but... Eh, you know. It's got something to do with Arcana. Doubt any therapist in the world could help. * Kyon smirks. "Yeah. Probably just don't believe anything. People tend not to." You can't blame them. I doubt I'd believe it it I didn't already know. * Kyon goes down a short flight of stairs, then into a building with a bunch of stores in it. "How'd you take it when you found out?" * Kaoru follows. He thinks about that for a second. I guess I was a little surprised. * Kyon walks up a flight, and stops in front of the restaurant. He looks back over his shoulder with one eyebrow raised. "A little?" Well, it's not the sort of thing you can understand that easily, but when you see it with your own eyes... * Kyon opens the door, and heads in. "So Matthias showed you?" * Kaoru shakes his head. "Wasn't him. I'm not even sure he knows what his own powers are. * Kyon nods tersely, and waits for someone to show them to a table. "Oh? Then who was it?" Takashi Ogiwara. He's got lightning powers. * Kyon looks around for a waiter as he says, "Yeah? Haven't heard of him. Friend of yours?" [There happens to be one there.] Kind of... I had a crush on him for a while. * Kyon waves tersely at the waiter, hoping to get his attention and a table. [The waiter comes over and does what he does best. To avoid costs, the camra doesn't show his head at all.] (Sneaky camera tricks!) * Kyon follows the waiter to the table, then, and sits down. He takes his hat off and puts it on the table between them. "Yeah? What changed?" He smirks. "Or is that too personal?" Turns out he's not actually into boys. He just looks like it. * Kyon nods quickly. "Happens. Lost touch with him, then?" He's around. Goes to the same school. * Kyon tugs over a menu, and scans it. "Must be hard." * Kaoru shrugs. "I get by. Kind of have to, you know?" Happen to you a lot? No more than anyone else. * Kyon inclines his head a bit towards Kaoru at that, and scans the menu one more time. "Me less than most." Really? I'd have thought you'd be pretty popular. * Kyon looks halfway up with a smirk. "More the other way around. Don't find myself interested often." Oh. * Kyon barks out a laugh, and closes his menu. "That's all that gets? Oh?" [The waiter comes back and takes orders.] Well... I don't really know what to say to that. * Kyon orders a plate of fettucine with a light red sauce, onions, and grilled tuna. * Kaoru orders.... somekinda Italian food? Um... (He's that distracted? ^^) ( No, I just don't know any Italian food outside of Spaghetti, ravioli and pizza :P ) * Kaoru orders something with chicken. * Kyon looks up fully, smirking, and rests a finger on the rim of the hat, pulling it around in a circle. "Could blush and take it as a compliment." I'll do that. * Kyon shakes his head bemusedly. "Go on, then." The compliment part, not the blushing part. * Kyon nods quickly. "Can't get everything." So why did this lightning guy show you his powers? Just goofing off. Not so careful, then. [The waiter returns with food.] * Kaoru eats! * Kyon takes the food, moves the hat off the table, and starts eating. "Good?" It's not bad. * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Not the best food in the world, but it's decent, and near the club." * Kaoru nods. * Kyon eats a bit more, then looks at him sidewise. "Really worried, aren't you." Well... Yeah, who wouldn't be? * Kyon nods quickly. "Right. Natural." He takes another bite, swallows, then says, "Could give you a reading for her." * Kaoru nods. "Thanks." * Kyon waves a hand dismissively. "No problems. Just want you to be calm. Have some fun." He looks to his food. "Make up for cancelling last time." * Kaoru nods, and does relax a bit. Know Matthias has some resources, but I do, too. If you need something, you can ask. Thanks. It means a lot. [Mini End!]
