Cherry Blossoms Grove

Yuu carried Kimiko in a piggy-back position. Due to Kimiko's figure and weight, Yuu carried her with ease. He can feel the warmth of her body through her not-so-wet anymore clothes. He can smell her sweet scent. He was so mesmerized that it seemed like he was not carrying someone. He sniffed and sniffed her scent wanting to get a hold of her scent. Like he wanted to continue carrying her forever.

"Move iiiit." Kimiko groaned, pinching both of his cheeks hard when he was being so slow in walking, as though he was actually enjoying this. "I don't have all day, senpai." She just wanted to go home, have a fresh bath, eat something sweet, and, well, go to school. She frowned of the last part.

Yuu felt Kimiko's pinch that got him back to his senses that made him walk faster.They reached the entrance of the grove without any trouble. He might be sad but he is also happy that Kimiko is all right. "Well hime would you want me to carry all the way to your place?" He offered seriously but it still might sound as if he was teasing her. He does not want to put her down now.

"Hime?"

Kimiko raised an eyebrow of the term. She knew it was Japanese but it could also mean a lot of things in different languages. "And no, I'm fine. I can take care of myself, thank you very much." she stated jumping off his back and dusting her hands.

"Well, I suppose I'll see you later. Hopefully not." she rolled her eyes. "You've got me into enough trouble."

"Okay..." Yuu was a bit sad because it ended so fast. He put down Kimiko. "Well, I suppose I'll see you later. Hopefully not." she rolled her eyes. "You've got me into enough trouble." That made him sad but he can't do anything. "I'm sorry for the troubles..." He said. He started to walk away but as he remember the past night he turned and said, "You know you are really beautiful specially when you are asleep." He smiled and turned away.

Kimiko placed a hand on her hip when he suddenly became this poor innocent meek-looking boy. Her eyes narrowed. It wasn't that she had any particular hate on those kind of men. She just preferred the normal him with a lot of confidence. Kimiko wasn't one who shows compassion or mushy things like that, especially to men.

She shrugged and turned around. She then heard his last comment and she felt her cheeks warm, but composed herself quickly. After looking at her watch, Kimiko walked away.

Yuu then realized that he was going the wrong way, he scratched his head and headed toward the same path of Kimiko. They are on the same way home. He saw Kimiko not far from him so he followed her without even realizing. He stalked Kimiko all the way home then and there he realized something, "What the hell am I doing! Stalking her!" Then when he looked around it was just a block away from his house. "What she is my neighbor?!!!!!" He exclaimed in surprise.

Rime led Ophelia to the Groves and smiled to her. "Here we are Ophelia. This is the place I usually come to when I want to be alone and think." He said, smiling at her.

She had let go of his hand by accident when he let the door open. She gasped seeing the cherry blossoms close up.

"R-rime..." she said "It's... It's beautiful here.."

Rime smiled at Ophelia's reaction as she saw the area. "I'm glad you like it here." He said as he walked in. "I come here to draw usually. It's always so beautiful." He told her.

"I bet.." she said smiling following him to take his hand again so she won't get lost. "This school is so much bigger then I thought.."

Rime smiled as she held his hand, leading her to the center of the grove. "It's not so big when you get used to the layout of the school. I have to admit one thing though, this school have very beautiful locations in it and around it." He said, smiling at her.

"Hmmm Maybe you should spend the day actually showing me around?" she said following him in content. She didn't feel so nervous after awhile after all they were getting to know each other a little each day.

"Do you want to have a look around the school first or relax her first?" Rime asked her as he turned to face her.

"Huh?" she was already starring at a cherry blossom tree and blushed a bit coming back to reality "Oh um... we can relax first and then go around the school?"

"God I really need to stop daydreaming...." she thought " But this place would be so cool for a photo shoot with the new outfits...

Rime smiled to her and sat down, patting the ground next to him. "Come, sit, and we can relax for a while. If you have your sketchbook with you right now, we can share our sketches with each other." He said, smiling to her.

She nodded taking off her gir backpack and unzipped it taking out her sketchbook and a few pencils.

"Here we go" she said with a smile "I hope they don't freak you out... and I know they're bad... specially the smut filled ones"

She blushed a bit again sitting down more comfortable moving her tail.

Rime smile at her, thinking that she was cute. He took out his sketchbook and opened it, skipping the first twenty pages. "Here we go, and don't worry, the sketch that you showed me the other that was really wonderful, I liked it." He said with a smile.

She giggles and looked through the book for a blank page before realizing she got out the wrong book.

"Oops... wrong sketch book I got a brand new one since i finished the other one a few nights ago with cosplaying ideas"

She pulled her bag closer and looked for the other book pulling out as the other went away.

Rime smiled and looked at her. "That's cool. Hey, once we finish sharing our sketches, would you mind if I drew you?" He asked her, blushing a bit.

Ophelia turned bright pink.

"W-what? w-why me?" she said timidly looking away from him as her nervs started to return again.

Rime chucklea bit and smiled at her reaction to his question. "Well, for one, you're cute and beautiful. Two, I like what you're wearing now, and you would be the first person I'd sketch wearing such an interesting outfit." He said, refering to her tail and ears. "You don't have to let me if you don't want me to, I'd understand perfectly." He said, looking down.

"...N-no one has ever asked before... I should say yes.. Everyone says I should allow people to take more photos and sketches of me... Instead of being behind camera..."

She nodded taking a deep breathe in and out.

"Okay you can sketch me" she smiled blushing a bit

Rime smiled at her and moved away so he could get a better view of her. "It'll probably suck, so I'm sorry in advance." He said as he began to sketch Ophelia.

She gave her head a little tilt feeling a bit awkward so she sat on all fours getting more comfortable looking at him as he worked.

"I wonder whats going through his mind" she though as she starred at him "Is he wondering what I'm wondering? Is he excited that I said yes? Oh gosh there I go thinking to myself again... I seriously need to stop thinking to myself... Oh look a blossom fell on my nose.. Is that a sign? Guh you're taking everything to serious... just relax.."

She let out a sigh watching the blossom fall off her nose and land on the ground forgetting Rime was sketching her for being so deep in thought.
