Chapter 7 - Sushi

Recap: haruki is alive!

Hori:....my deepest condolences towards Matsumoto San.

She was talking about the owner of the hot springs who was Haruki's friend.

Haruki:oh...

Haruki:(who's Matsumoto?...I think I forgot)

Haruki starts walking out of the burnt down hot springs and hori follows.

Haruki: yh I was actually heading to the med bay to check for you.

He was referring to the hospital branch of SHO were hori was.

Hori: awww how thoughtful of you.

Haruki: nah it's the least I could do,yh about hospitals, how did you get a dark frame?!

Haruki: you caved that guy's entire nose in!

Haruki: and how didn't you injure your arm,is it because of that contract with a sin shit you talked about?

He was referring to the thug hori asked to apologize....who she later punched.

Hori:oh it has nothing to do with a sin haruki san.

She denied the statement .

Hori: I've always had strong hands since I was little.

Haruki:oh....

Hori:.... not very lady like is it?

She said with an embarrassed expression feeling shy for having such strength.

Haruki:are you kidding?! that was fucking awesome!!

Haruki: shit was hilarious when the guy taught the dark frame was his.

Note:Dark frame is the term given when someone is about to do something impressive, the backgrounds saturation reduces to zero leaving only the character and the opponent with color.

Hori: you..... don't find it unattractive?

Haruki:huh? Attractive?

Hori:.....*gasp*oh goodness me! please forgive me for saying such an erotic word!

She said bowing down with her face bright red.

Hori:(why did I say that?! attractive?!, what a lude word! I must be punished!)

Haruki:(I'm not sure attractive is an erotic word,... this girl's giving pure a whole new meaning)

Haruki:*pfft*

Haruki: hahaha!

He laughed at hori's earlier statement.

Hori:(he's.... laughing?)

Hori's face was still red.

Haruki:nah I find it hella attractive!I love strong women.

Haruki declared proudly.

Hori:*blush*oh... that's good to hear....

Hori:*growl*

Haruki:ah

Hori:*punch!*

She punches her stomach telling it to shut up.

Hori:*blush*(what's your deal?!)

Hori:ehmm please ignore that-

Haruki: giiiirl your obviously hungry!! C'mon let's go eat!

Hori:oh I wouldn't want to impose, besides my clothes are dirty-

Haruki quickly removes his black sweater he was wearing and hands it over to hori.

He was wearing a dark red shirt underneath.

Hori slowly collects the sweater.

Hori: thank you haruki san.

Hori wears the black sweater, although it was too big for her.

Haruki: looking good! now let's go eat!

Hori: understood!

Haruki: you like sushi?!

Hori: yes sir!

They walk into the sunset

The time is now 6

Haruki: were here!

Hori:oh my, how marvelous

Hori exclaimed because of the alluring aroma emanating from the restaurant.

Hori began salivating accompanied by her stomach growling.

Haruki: woah do you usually eat often?

Hori: I'm sorry if it's making you uncomfortable.

Haruki:quit apologizing and let's gooo

Haruki pushes hori into the restaurant.

Chef:oh haruki kun long time no see!

She said bowing her head.

Chef: good evening to you young lady!

Chef: your as quick as always eh haruki?!

Haruki:nah were not dating, she's my new PA

Hori:pa?

Haruki: didn't you say you wanna work for me?

He was referring to what hori said at the hot springs.

Hori:oh yes sir!

Haruki: you don't have to call me sir

Chef: so what's your order?

Haruki and hori headed towards were the chef was standing,it was a counter that had a conveyor belt that displayed different varieties of sushi.

Haruki: I'll have the regular.

Chef: what about you lady.

Hori: I'll have the same please.

The chef brings out their orders and places them on their table.

Hori:(oh my,it looks and smells delicious!)

Haruki picks up a chopsticks and divides it into 2.

Hori:(this is bad,I'm not good at using chopsticks)

Narrator: hori's father, father jiro always adapted to western styles of tradition.

Narrator: so despite growing up in Japan,hori isn't accustomed to using chopsticks.

Hori:(enough, It doesn't matter if I'm good at it or not, haruki san is paying for this meal,I must eat it properly!)

Hori divides her own chopsticks into two.

Haruki and hori: thank you for the meal!

They begin chowing down.

Haruki:oh my God this is so freaking good!

Hori closely observes haruki and tries to learn how to use the chopsticks.

Hori:(oh dear,it isn't working!)

Haruki:.... you having issues?

Hori:oh, please continue with your meal haruki san.

She said with a smile but was interrupted by her stomach growling.

The entire restaurant pauses as they were shocked by the sound.

Hori:....*blush*

The restaurant continues their meal.

Haruki:(she's a really mysterious girl, what kind of Japanese person can't use chopsticks?!)

Hori still seems to be struggling with her chopsticks.

Haruki carries a little bit of sushi with his chopsticks.

Haruki: here,say aaaa....

He said while smiling, pointing the chopsticks with sushi at hori's mouth.

Hori turns and looks at her sides wondering who haruki was talking to.

Hori:....meeeeee?????!!!!!!

Haruki: c'mon it's getting cold.

Hori:*blush*please sir!, there's no need for such a thing!, surely I can at least feed my self!!!

Hori yelled with a flushed face.

Haruki: my hands getting tired.... and don't call me sir.

He said with a sad look.

Hori slowly opens her mouth and eats the sushi haruki fed her.

Haruki: how is it?!

Hori:*blush*.... it's delicious!

Haruki continues feeding her.

The chef smiles.

Chef:(wtf am I looking at?)

Time passes by and haruki finishes feeding her.

Hori:(I want to die from embarrassment!!!)

Hori:(I can't even look at him!!!)

Haruki pays for the meal.

Chef:see you guys later!

Haruki and hori:bye bye!

They leave the restaurant.

Hori:...I promise to help in paying for our meals haruki san!

Haruki: you better

He said with a grin.

Haruki:no seriously tho, you better, you freaking ate 12 plates of sushi!

Haruki: what are you some cartoon ass character?!

Hori: I'm sorry!I eat a lot!

She said repeatedly bowing down and apologizing.

Haruki:*sigh*anyways let's head back to my place.

Haruki: were gonna carry my stuff then rent a hotel or something, it's pretty late.

The time is 7:00 pm

Hori: understood! haruki san!

They walk to Haruki's house that was in the middle of the forest, that rusty old shack that sinner of lust broke through.

Haruki: never taught I'd leave her....

Hori: have you been living here for long haruki san?

Haruki:nah,I moved here after I got into a huge fight with my mom....

Hori:oh.... my apologies....

Haruki: the hell are you apologizing for, it's not your fucking fault.

Haruki said with an annoyed look on his face.

Hori:....ehm.... I've been meaning to ask you something haruki san....

Haruki:... go for it....

Hori: what does "fuck" mean?

Hori said with an innocent expression.

Haruki:...huh?

Hori: I've been hearing not only you but others say it a lot since I was disowned.

Haruki:.... the fuck?

Haruki said with a confused look.

Hori:see? Even now you just said it!

Hori: please what does it mean?

Haruki:....(Hmmmm this opportunity has so much potential for my humor!)

Haruki:(better not waste it!)

Haruki: "fuck" means.... expression.

Hori: expression?

Haruki:yes, expression! You say it when you feel strong emotions.

Hori:oooohhhh

Haruki: like when your angry, happy, sad,or determined.

Hori:.... so I should say.... fuck yes! When I want to do something?

Haruki: that's correct! but it's better to say fuck yeah than fuck yes.

Hori: understood!

Haruki:now go carry those boxes! were going to a hotel!

Hori: fuck yeah!

Hori rushes to carry the boxes and luggage.

Haruki:....(This fucking hilarious!)
