Destined To Love You

Chapter 7.3

"Why?! W-why is my heart beating so fast? It's like I'm gonna explode!!! But... Why am I running? Why am I crying? That was just an 'accident'... But still... That was my first kiss.." —Kagura thought as she kept on running.

"Chotto—" Sougo suddenly grabbed Kagura in her arm.

Sougo: *panting* I didn't know that.. you were.. a very fast.. runner...

Kagura: S-sougo...

Sougo: What's the problem? Our date's not over yet, but you just left me there..

Kagura: I-it's because—

- Tears started to run down Kagura's cheeks again.

Kagura: G-gomen...

- Sougo then wiped her tears and caressed her cheeks.

Sougo: Why are you crying? And why are you apologizing? That was just an accident.. But even though you didn't mean to do that, it means a lot to me because.. that was my— "our" first kiss..

Kagura: Sougo...

Sougo: I understand that you're not yet ready to do those kinds of things with me, so don't think too much. We'll do that someday, when you're ready.. So stop crying now, okay?

Kagura: *nods* Okay..

- Sougo hugged her.

~At the entrance of the amusement park..

Katsura: Wow! What a cute stuffed dog you got there! Can I have a look?

Kagura: Sure...

Kyuubei: Gomen, Katsura really likes cute animals.

Kagura: It's okay..

Katsura: Did you buy this?

Kagura: Actually, Sougo got it for me from a game booth managed by Hasegawa-san.

Kyuubei: Really?! He did that for you?! How sweet!

Kagura: Hehe.. By the way, where's Sacchan?

Kyuubei: I received a text from her. She said that they'll go on ahead so let's just enjoy our date.

Kagura: Is that so.. Hmm.. So how was your date?

Kyuubei: Well, it was fine. We went to a booth to scoop goldfish, but he didn't get any. The little kids laughed at him, then he got angry and almost picked a fight with them. So before things get worse, I dragged him to a booth that sells shaved ice to cool him down. We just laughed at what happened and went on to check more booths.
