Please come back to me: Jin's date
This isn't a new chapter but more like of a spin-off to the story Please come back to me.
Jin’s date : 喜びの歌
Jin leaves Ueda’s flat. He’s got a date with Ichihara-sensei and has to meet her in front of the Tokyo tower. The idea is a little old-fashioned but why not? Plus, he’s helping Ueda out. Ok, he must confess it doesn’t hurt that the young woman is so cute…
Once he reaches the Tokyo tower he has a good look round and his eyes meet a hand waving in his direction. Ichihara-sensei is waiting. She’s wearing a kimono and that surprises him. What a contrast with her pre-school teacher clothes! Maybe he should have dressed up a little.
“Konnichi wa Akanishi-san.”
“Domo”
“As it’s our only date, what about making the most of it? Shall we hold hands?”
She’s smiling and offering him her hand. Strangely enough, and it’s hard to explain, but he reaches out and takes her hand.
“Where would you like to go Ichihara-sensei?”
She starts laughing.
“Ichihara-sensei is my mum. Call me Naoko ~”
***
It’s been quite a long time since he last went on a date and he didn’t remember there were so many interesting and funny things to do in Tokyo. Moreover, he has to admit that he’s having a good time. Ichihara-sensei, - well, Naoko-chan is cute but she’s lots of fun too. She’s always surprising him. Each time he thinks he knows her, she does something unexpected and he’s taken aback - in a good way that is.
“What about dinner?” he asks.
She nods. Everything’s so easy with her.
“Any preferences?”
“Not really… is ramen ok?”
She really is easy-going.
“Oishii ~” she says after tasting the food.
“Ma ~ Naoko chan, I almost forgot. Can I ask you something?”
“Fire away.”
“It’s about Ueda… he can’t find his fairy and he’s quite gloomy again… Maybe you…”
She’s laughing now.
“You think that maybe I know where she is?”
She puts a finger on her lips as if lost in thoughts.
“Well, I suppose I could tell you but I’ll need something in exchange of this piece of information.”
Her smile is very malicious now, so malicious he can’t help but smiling too.
“Have you any idea of what I could offer you?”
“Ma ~ I might have an idea indeed.”
“Then, maybe we’re thinking about the same thing, ne?”
***
She cuddles up to him a little more. He smiles and plants a tender kiss on her forehead. She smiles.
“Ma ~ you live up to your legend ~ you’re a fantastic lover ~”
“Kochira koso (you’re not too bad yourself).”
“There’s just a slight problem…” she adds.
“Eeh?” Now he’s a little worried.
She places her head on his shoulder.
“I think you gave me too much in exchange of the fairy’s location … so now, I’m the one who’ll have to compensate you…”
His heart misses a beat. He holds her a little tighter. This girl - he must absolutely not let her go!
