12 : 10 pm

Kawaki was sitting with sumire on a sidewalk cafe .

"Actually , kawaki" sumire whispered .

"Hmm?" Kawaki said , resting his chin on his hand .

"I actually called you here , because - there are some guys who've been bothering me" she said , nervously .

"Good" kawaki , who was lost in sumire beauty , didn't grasp her words .

"Yeah--what?--kawaki?" she called him .

"Yes?" kawaki blabbered , a nerve popped on Sumire's head .

"Kawaki" she yelled , kawaki yelped .

"Are you listening to me?" She asked in frustration .

"Yes , I'm all ears" kawaki said , removing his goggles .

"Sigh -there are some guys have been troubling me . They bother me , and I am the only japanese sketch artist in this area -So , they also pass racist comments" Sumire explained .

"Really?" He asked .

"Yeah" she whispered and yelled .

"Tell me , where I can find these bastards?" Kawaki asked , barely holding out his anger .

1 : 40 pm

"-they need to be wrapped and they are sold so just be careful--" Sumire was explaining to her customer .

"Hey there , japanese girl" a group of men came .

"Did you sketch that one?" one of them pointed at a sketch . "You want to make a portrait of me . I'll give you a kiss in return- Come on , don't be shy" he said , laughing with others .

Sumire rolled her eyes . Kawaki came and stood in front of her .

"What's your problem? Get the fuck out of here" the guy cussed .

Kawaki stayed silent , and slowly moved his jacket , exposing a pistol . He chuckled and signalled them to look beside them . Sai and Ino moved their jackets , exposing their guns .

The man threw his hand in the air , stepping back . Sumire gave an impressed look , but she wasn't going to let them go .

"What happened? Where are you going? What happened to all that attitude? Nothing to say? Huh" she asked , pointing at the man "and you - you wanted to kiss me , right . Go ahead" she said , pouting near him .

Kawaki gave him a look 'I'll kill you' and showed his pistol again . So the guy wouldn't kiss sumire .

"No" the man said , trembling .

"No? Who's the man now? Me , the man" she mocked him . "Yeah , and you want to see , how japanese do it? Huh? Touch me , just touch me" she yelled , turning back , kawaki gave them a glare .

The men ran away "Oi , sumire" kawaki called , she ignored him . "Sumire" he called her again , taping her shoulder .

She opened her eyes . "What?" She yelled .

"They are gone" he replied , she looked behind .

"They had to-- follow me" she said , leaving .

"Okay" kawaki followed her .

"Martina , just wrap up please , goodbye" she said to her worker .

"Hah , i taught them a good lesson - and thanks to you too" she said to kawaki .

"No , no , what did i do?" kawaki replied "Sumire , you were saying about those hospital bills . If you gave them to me , I'll pay for them" he added .

"No- don't worry about it . Today is your lucky day" sumire exclaimed .

"Really , why?" He asked .

"You helped me out , today . So , scores settled" she answered .

"Wow , you're so fair , sumire . I must admit" he said .

She hummed "You must- take today for instance , I had to interfere after all" she said , proudly .

"Yeah , the way you interfered with 'Me , the man' is very impressive" he said in a mocking tone .

"It's important to make them fear you" she made an excuse "if only , they had stayed a minute more , i woul---" kawaki cut her off .

"No , no , no , sumire , forsake your anger" he said .

"You don't get it , kawaki . You have to adapt to the worldly ways , there's no point in living like a coward . Cowards are the one wh--" she freezes , a fluffy dog comes running toward sumire "Eeek , oh my god , oh my god" she cried .

The dog came to her legs and smelled her feet .
Kawaki wrapped his arms around her . "Don't move , sumire . Freeze" he said .

"Why?" Sumire asked , whining .

"If you move , he'll feel threatened and bite you . looks like a wolf . But don't be scared" he said , she cried even more now .

"Just be still , breathe with me . Breathe in and breathe out - yeah , bad doggie , good sumire- keep breathing , nice" he said , comforting her .

The dog moved away . But kawaki still had Sumire in his embrace .

"Is he coming back?" She asked .

"Hmm , Who?" He replied .

She pushed him lightly and moved away .

"I think you scared the dog away too" kawaki joked , they both laughed .

"Sumire , I wanted to know . If you can have lunch with me , today?" He invited .

"I've to visit dad's art gallery today" she answered .

"No problem- dinner tomorrow?" He asked .

"Tomorrow is Mom and dad's anniversary" she replied .

"Oh , damn" he muttered under his breath .

"What?" she asked .

"I mean good , congratulations-- breakfast , day after?" He asked .

"The day aft--" kawaki cut her off .

"Don't say no . All i need is five minutes" he said .

"Five minutes?" She asked .

"Only five minutes" he answered .

"Okay , done" she agreed .

Kawaki chuckled "give me a high five" he said .

She gave him a high five "bye , se you soon" she said , leaving .

Kawaki just stared at her walking away .

"See you soon" he whispered and left .
