The Samurai and Girl with Aqua eyes

10: The Spring Festival

Previously:
That calm zen in his eyes turned dark. "How dare he hurt my beautifur cherry brossom." He let me go and grabbed his katana. "No!" Just as he grabbed the door I grabbed his leg. "Kiku if you fight him, it'll be for the death this time," I was on my knees begging, "please, just stay in here with me."

🗾the next day🗾

Aqua's POV:

I woke up and looked around, we slept in the dojo all night. "Oh my god." "Oh my god indeed." I looked at the door, Ella was there with Alfred. "It's not what it rooks rike," Kiku said. "Dude we know, or else you'd both be—"
"That's enough Alfred, Aqua let's go you should be getting ready." I bowed to Kiku, "I'll see you tonight," then I said goodbye to Alfred and left. "If your dad asks, you were at my place, and to prove it, tell me what happened in that dojo last night," Ella said. "You won't believe me, it all started at dinner. . . "

🗾time for the festival🗾

Japan's POV:

Different stands of food, fried or not Alfred wanted to try them all. Other stands had jewels and accessories, it was your typical spring festival, Alfred had a blue and white kimono, while mine was red and white, and like always I have my umbrella. "Dude the stage is this way." We found Ella right behind lord Takeshi. "Ah, you both at right on time, please take a seat," Takeshi said. Then the bon dances began.

"Your daughter dances rovry," I said. "She always does," the lord said. "Pardon me but why are we still here?" Alfred ask. "Because now my daughter changes in the kimono she will have on for the rest of the night, it's a small tradition she started ever since she's started dancing." Aqua came out the curtains, my cherry blossom in cherry blossom pink with some accessories on the waist, and some blue at the hems.

Aqua's POV:

"You were amazing as always." "Thanks dad, so what did you guys think?" "I give it a ten out of ten," Alfred said. "Amazing as always," Ella said, and now for the response I've been waiting for. "It was beautifur, you rook beautifur." I wish I had a fan to hide my blush. "Thank you, Kiku." "What are you four still doing here, go off and enjoy the festival," dad said. "Boys fallow me," I said, "we're off to the cherry blossom lake." That's really where we grow the rice, we just put big cherry blossoms in them. "You see this open space in between these two rows of water . . . Well." I took off my shoes and started walking down it, holding up my kimono so it didn't get wet.

Japan's POV:

"Erra-san why is she doing that?" "Well here—only in the spring festival—do they make the rice look beautiful so you can sorta walk between them, it's really pretty and fun, just don't slip and hurt the rice," she said. Aqua came back, and she did almost look like she was walking on water. "Did you have to take off your shoes," Ella said. "What, it's fun that way," Aqua said, "now come on let's—"
"Actually me and Alfred are gonna go right, you stay with Kiku, we'll meet back later at the park. Are you ok with this," kiku?" Oh boy. "Hai, I am ok with it." They must have planned this, because now I'm alone with the most beautiful girl in the village. "Hey Kiku, I'm kinda starving." "I think I have enough yen for fried rice balls and tea, but that's it." She smiled. "That's ok, let's go."

🗾time skip🗾

For the past two hours I've been able to open up more. We take turns with our umbrellas, I let her stand closer to me, we even walked to the park pinky in pinky. "So this is the best place to see the fireworks," Alfred said, "sweet, you know in America we—"
"Ella told me about the forth of July, and New Years, Alfred, and they sound amazing," Aqua said. People started to gather around as the sun set. "Kiku can I talk to you alone." I took Aqua out of the crowd, but then she was taking me somewhere else.

🗾the house🗾

Aqua's POV:

"Aqua why are we here, the fireworks are about to—"
"I wanted you alone, Kiku." One went off. "Besides you forgot something this morning." I dropped my umbrella and kissed him—making him drop his also. There weren't just fireworks going off outside, also inside me, then I needed air. "You haven't kissed me since I told you I felt the same, do you still love me Kiku?" He closed his eyes, I thought it was a no . . . Then he pulled me in and whispered. "I wourd'nt sreep with any one erse in that dojo bot you, my beautifur cherry brossom." He kissed me back with passion, I could hear fireworks, but my heart beat louder then them. He separated then took my hand. "Kiku where we going?" "To show you the rove you deserve." We went inside.

Cliffhanger 😈 you all should know what's coming.
