Atsuko smiled widely at Sakamae her blush still linguring on her cheeks. "Well I was going to try the noddles first... i've never had fat noodles." she said and giggled lightly. She twirrled one on her fork adn then ate it. Chewing slowlyher face brightened up and she looked at him with excitement. "this tastes really good!" she said and then took a swig of her rootbeer, licking her soft pink lips before taking another bite. She then poked a shrimp threw and sniffed it, loving the tingle of her nose. "it smells really really good." she said softly and then looked at Sakamae.

Sakamae watched Atsuko closely "Oooh the noodles do look rather scrumsious. Hehe" He smiled softly hearing her. Grabbing his fork and gently poking his plate of food, slowly separating the shrimp from the noodles, it was a weird quirk of his. He then poked his fork through one of the shrimp and then into a couple noddles. Twirling them around the shrimp. He slowly dipped the noodled shrimp into the cup of old bay seasoning by the side of his plate. Bringing the fork close to his mouth, breathing in the entoxicating aroma. Taking the bite of food, chewing slowly to experience the full flavor of it. Sakamae's eyes lit up, a soft purr escaping him "Mmm this is really goooood Atsuko." He moves his fork to his plate, repeating the process he did the first time. Moving a hand to hover beneath the fork as he slowly pointed the morsel to Atsuko "Here try it Atsuko" Sakamae smiles sweetly at her.

Michi smiled and shook his head watching for a minute before returning his attention to his own plate. If only they knew that their little bond that they were showing infront of him gave him all the leverage in the world over the two if he needed it....
Atsuko nodded and watched curiously as Sakamae seperated his shrimp and noodles. Tilting her head cutely as she watched him, her nose wiggled smelling his old bay seasoning. She blushed as she realized what he was doing. he was offering her a bite. She had been too distracted by his handsome face to register his words at first. "okay..." she whispered softly and then leaned forward and wrapped her lips around the fork and pulled back, the food getting trapped in her mouth. her eyes glowed up in surprise and she chewed slowly nodding her head. After swallowing she smiled and licked her lips slowly. "that was soooo nummy!" she said in a high pitched squeek.

Sakamae smiled brightly watching as Atsuko wrapped her lips around his fork and took the bite of food. Unable to keep from giggling softly watching her reactions. "Hehehe" Sakamae was so lost in the moment with Atsuko, that he forgot all about Michi sitting across the table from them. Sakamae was just so happy at the moment, he was actually having fun for once, and it always made him glad seeing Atsuko smiled. Smiles suited her well. Another small giggle fit escaped him hearing Atsuko's high pitched squeak "Hahahahaha... that's so adorable.. Hehe" Sakamae returned his fork to his plate, moving his hand to slide the cup of old bay seasoning to rest between his and Atsuko's plate "Here.. we can share the seasoning Atsuko" Looking back at her, he couldn't resist extending his left hand and petting her hair.

Atsuko blushed and giggled along with sakamae as he couldn't seem to stop laughing. she smiled widely, loving the way his eyes glowed up in happieness. She then nodded and watched as he placed the seasoning between them. "tehe!" she giggled pulling it a smidge closer and then grinned at him cutely. She tilted her head as her eyes scrunched closed. She then felt his hand petting her hair and once again her blush invaded her cheeks. She opened her eyes slowly to look at him with happieness and love swimming in those deep chocolate orbs and then slowly closed her eyes and leaned her head against his hand happily. "Thank you....." she whispered softly her voice holding care and relaxation.

"Hehe" Sakamae noticed how Atsuko pulled the cup of seasoning a bit closer to her "Remember not to have too much now ok" Sakamae smiled seeing the blush return to Atsuko's cheeks, his nails gently scratching her head as he continued to pet her.. Becoming entranced with her eyes, his gaze locking with hers, his green eyes sparkling as he looked deeply into Atsuko's eyes.. His heart beginning to beat a bit harder.. longing to wrap his arms around her and hold her close and never let go. He could stay like this forever, and still enjoy every second of being near her. He manages to whisper a reply "Your.. welcome.. Atsuko". His fingers trailing through her silky fine hair

Kisuke smiled and nodded. "Um you may want to close your eyes." A puff of pink smoke appeared and he changed back into his human form. He covered up in the sheets that Isabella wasn't using. He called out to Bairai. "We'll have some sandwhiches and can you also bring me some clothes?!"

Lilly jumped with excitement. The man at running the stand bent down to her. He ran the balloon popping with a dart stand. "Well, aren't you cute? How many darts would ya like?" She held up three fingers and he placed them in her hands. She grinned and aimed carefully. With a swift flick of her wrist, she missed the balloon by a lot. She puther head down iwth embarassment.

Bairai grabs a handful of snack foods, mainly anything glazed and sweet. He always did have a major sweet-tooth. Hearing Kisuke call out he tilts his head, shrugging.. He goes about fixing two sandwhiches, one for Kisuke and one for Isabella. Fixing the type he usually saw them eating. Placing them on a plate and starts heading down the hall, quickly stepping into a room and grabbing a few items, grinning.. He reaches Isabella's room and knocks on the door "Foods here"

Isabella giggled softly. She didn't close her eyes but looked up at him and got closer. "Kisuke I have grown up around this and I am used to it and it makes no different if I love them or not" she said and closed her eyes putting her head on his chest. She wished this could happen all the time. "Aren't you worried you will get sick too?" she asked looking up at him and then sneezed into her hands.

Yoichi smiled at the worker and gave him the money needed for the darts and watched as Lilly missed on her first try. "hey that's okay Lilly, try again." he said incouragingly and petted her hair softly and smiled at her and lifted her chin. "you can do it." he said with a bright reasuring smile.

Atsuko kept her gaze locked with Sakamae's and found her heart beating a bit faster. She loved the beautiful green of his eyes and the smile upon his lips. She wanted to just press herself to him and be held. she wanted those arms to wrap around her and never let her go. She had to rememeber to keep breathing as she kept her eyes glued to Sakamae, at least until Michi cleared his throat. "Your food will get cold if you don't eat soon." he reminded them and then pulled away from Sakamae and noded to michi, breaking that beautiful connection. "Right... Sorry michi sir..." she said softly and picked up her fork again and began eating.

As Sakamae gazed deeply and longingly into Atsuko's eyes, he felt his heart beat harder in his chest, as though it would burst at any moment. Oh how he wished he could stop time in this moment.. to wrap his arms around her and hold her close against him, feel her soft warmth against him. His arms twitched slightly, wanting to do just that, to tell her how much he loved her. Yet his shyness kept getting the better of him.. His trance suddenly broken upon hearing Michi speak.. like the sound of a needle dropped in utter silence.. He quickly turns to his plate, bowing his head "Sorry Michi sir" He quickly raises his fork and starts eating his meal.. his free hand, slowly moving, laying atop Atsuko's hand.

Atsuko ate silently enjoying her shrimp and unable to keep a huge smile off of her face. She slowly blushed feeling Sakamae's hand upon hers, which wad setting on her lap. Not saying a word though she spun her fork in her noodles her heart seemed to pick up it's tempo a bit more. She then began nibbling on her breadsrick cutely and smiled at Michi and Sakamae. "Thank you for everything Michi sir... It means so much to me...." she said softly and Michi smiled slowly. "Its nothing..." he said reasuringly and took a drink of his rootbeer.

(YAY!!!!! POSTED!!!!!!!)
Sakamae kept smiling, unable to stop, focusing on quickly eating his meal. Savoring the sweet taste of the noodles and shrimp.. His fingers lighlty caressing Atsuko's fingers as he softly squeezed her hand more, blushing pink as he finally noticed his hand was resting on her lap. Sakamae had to keep his mind on his food, trying to slow his heart rate down. Looking up across the table "Yes, Thank you Michi sir.. this is all really great" Sakamae smiles, his eyes flickering. "May I ask, what are we doing after our meal?" Sakamae manages to glance over at Atsuko, unable to resist the urge to giggle, watching as she nibbled on her breadstick "Aww, your like a squirrel nibbling" Sakamae sets his fork down, moving his right hand over "Though you have something.. right... here" He moves his hand over to Atsuko, gently using his thumb to wipe at the corner of Atsuko's lips "There we go"

Michi looked up at Sakamae and smiled. "Going home of course." he said smoothly and then continued eating. Atsuko looked at Sakamae and blushed deeply at his words as she stopped in mid nibble and bit off the breadsrick. She then blushed deeply feeling him wipe off her corner of her lips and closed her eyes savoring the amazing feel of his hand on her skin. She then looked ip into his eyes and bit her lip for a second. "Thank you." she said softly her voice going very high pitched and she shook her head embarrassed before looking into his eyes again.
((yeah sorry for taking so long.... I feel so bad right now that I wish my mother wasn't making me go to school.))

Sakamae couldn't help but pout for but an instance "Aw ok Michi sir.." Sakamae's gaze fixed back on Atsuko, trying to resist the urge to giggle and glomp her, he loved seeing her blush. She looked so cute. Sakamae had to take a deep breath as he wiped Atsuko's mouth. She felt so warm.. so soft.. trying to hide his blush he responds "squeee, your welcome Atsuko" unable to keep from squeeing softly hearing Atsuko's high pitched voice.. He raises his hand up and softly scratches behind her ear, trying to get his voice calmed down "So.. what would you like to do when we get home Atsuko? We can do whatever you want"
(OH NO!!!... Hope you feel better soon)

Atsuko nodded at Michi's words and then her eyes turned back to Sakamae's. She smiled happily and then blushed more just as she was loosing a bit of the heat on her cheeks. She then giggled softly hearing his squee loving the sound. It was so funny and cute. She then put her fork down really feeling full and her eyes slowly closed as he scratched her behind the ear. Her tongue nearly stuck out had she not reeled it back in quickly and opened her eyed looking at Sakamae. "I don't know what I want to do, maybe we could find me a new room? Since I'm not living with my parents anymore." she offered softly trying not to keep her eyed from drooping closed as she felt so relaxed with him there. She was full though, even if she hadn't touched two thirds of her pasta, she wasn't used to having so much food. And she felt baf not eating it. "Its alright Atsuko, we'll just get uou a box." Michi said smoothly when she was about to open her mouth. Clamping it back shut she nodded and blushed deeply embarrassed.
((I stayed home all today and slept alot, so I do feel a bit better.))

Sakamae kept smiling watching Atsuko's reaction, giggling softly, he found her weak spot. "Hehe, your just so adorable Atsuko" His nails lightly scratching along the back of her ear. Sakamae was so content sitting here with Atsuko and talking, that he lost his appetite, even though he only ate about half of his meal. He turns to Michi "May I have a to-go box for my meal as well Michi sir?" Sakamae turns back to Atsuko, his fingers trailing up into her hair, softly petting and scratching her head.. his right hand doing it's little fingertip dance as he thought "Hmm, a new room." Sakamae tilts his head, his eyes kinda zoning out in thought, before suddenly lighting up, his body jumping up slightly "I know!!!!.. In the wing of the house where mine and Bairei's rooms are, there's a couple of empty guest rooms.." A soft blush spreading on Sakamae's cheeks "Well.. not exactly "empty" at the moment... They have been kinda.. turned into.. forts" Blushing more "Though I'm sure you can use one of them Atsuko" A smile dancing on his lips as he looked at her.
(^_^ Foxy Avi!!!)

Blushing deeply she smiled sheepishly hearing his words. "Th-thank you." she studdered her voice going high pitched once again. She then smiled and giggled hearing his words. "A fort?" she asked and tilted her head curiously. She then smiled widely and nodded. "Sounds perfect!" she said and then unable to resist she hugged him tightly and happily. The waitress came and put their food in boxes for them and handed them to Michi. "Alright you two let's go." he said lightly and Atsuko didn't wanna move.
((hehe do you like it?))

Sakamae smiles happily, his fingers trailing through her hair "Your very welcome Atsuko" Having to bite his lower lip to keep from squeeing again. His blush growing a darker tint of red "Well.. I got a bit.. bored one day... So there's currently.. mountains of pillows and blanket walls and tunnels.. in and between the two rooms" Having to speak slowly, his embarassement showing. "I'm glad you like the i.." his last word cut off as Atsuko suddenly hugs him, his arms moving to wrap around Atsuko. Sakamae hugs her back closely and tenderly, not ever wanting to let go.. Her fragrance so sweet.. Upon hearing Michi, Sakamae pouted softly, not wanting to move.. wanting to stay like this.. reluctantly speaking "we should hurry up and get home Atsuko.. So you can see the fort" Sakamae slowly parts from the hug, standing up from the table.. Looking down at Atsuko as he holds out his hand towards her.
(LOVE IT!!!! <3)

Atsuko sighed softly loving the feel of Sakamae's embrase but it was cut short. Nodding she took his hand and walked with him following him into the limo. They drove home quickly and once there Michi parted with them telling them he would take care of her parents. Once he left Atsuko freely trembled and grabbed Sakamae tightly and burried her face into his chest. "What if they come after me?" she whispered fearfully.
((well thank you. ^^ I love yours too.))

Sakamae holds Atsuko's hand firmly in his as they make their way to the limo, still holding her hand during the drive home. Sakamae bows to Michi as they arrive home "Thank you very much for everything Michi sir" Sakamae watched as Michi left "Well we sho..." His words cut off as he suddenly feels Atsuko grab him tightly, looking down at her.. "Shh, its ok" Sakamae wraps his arms around Atsuko, hugging her lovingly and protectively against him "They won't come after you Atsuko.. Michi will be sure of that" He raises a hand to trail his fingers through her hair "And if they do.. I shall be here to protect you"
<3<3<3

Atsuko looked up atSakamae and held up her pinky. "Pinky promise they won't?" she whispered softly her huge watery eyes pleading with him to take her pinky in his. She coudlnt stand the thoughts of them coming back for her... She could just imagin them now, her mother slashing her with the knife again, her father burning her.... And then them beating her and stabbing her making her scream and scream and then would be left to die alone. Shuddering in fear she bit her lip waiting for him to say something.

Sakamae looked at Atsuko intently, gazing deeply into her eyes. Looking into her thoughts.. He could see her fear, her pain.. as though it was a tangible entity. It took all Sakamae had to restrain his anger boiling up inside him.. the dark flame of hatred glinting oh so softly in the depths of his eyes. He pulls Atsuko close to him, his left hand moving to wrap his pinky around hers.. Leaning his head down to softly kiss their interlocked pinkies. "I pinky swear that no more harm shall come to you Atsuko.. No matter what.. .I shall always be here for you"

Atsuko watched as Sakamae took her pinky in his and kissed them making her sigh in releaf. She hugged him tightly and then kissed his cheek. "Thank you Sakamae.... Thank you so so much..." she whispered softly and then wiped away her tears slowly, since a few sneaky tears had escaped. She then smiled a bit wider trying to be brave for Sakamae and cupped his cheek. "Shall we go see this fort?" she asked softly, her cheeks burning as she enjoyed the sensation of Sakamae's skin under her fingertips.

As Sakamae raised his head from their pinkies he was startled by the hug, hugging Atsuko back sweetly. A deep blush glowing on his cheeks upon feeling Atsuko kiss his cheek. His heart seeming to skip a beat. He smiles and whispers in her ear softly "There's no need to thank me... I'am here for you" He looks into Atsuko's eyes, smiling reassuringly.. nibbling his lower lip as his blush deepens, enjoying the feel of Atsuko's hand cupping his cheek.. He raises his hand to rest lighlty upon her's, nodding his head "Yes.. We need to get you settled into your new room" He manages a soft giggle "Though I warn you.. The fort is a bit... chaotic.. looking. Hehe"
