Isuzu Tsukume ; Under The Mistletoe!

Rei Ryuugazaki

Isuzu let go of the bow, watching the arrow fly and strike the center of the human target, right where the heart was. She, Sachiko, and the Iwatobi swim club (minus Gou) were at an outdoors store, and it had a shooting range. The swim club was invited by the two girls just for fun, and they even attempted to shoot a bow and arrow. After seeing their pitiful attempts, the brunette female decided to show them how it was done. She did have a hunting license after all. Seeing that the arrow hit the target, she turned to her 'audience'. "That, my friends, is how you properly shoot a bow and arrow.", she mused, giving them a victorious smirk. They all clapped, except for one. Rei was in his own little word. The scene of her shooting kept replaying in his head. He noticed how her muscles tightened when she stood in place, how when she drew back her right arm her cheek was pulled back a bit, how her eyes seemed to sharpen and gleam with and unknown emotion. Her overall stance was perfect, and only one word escaped his mouth.

"Beautiful..", he murmured, causing Nagisa and Sachiko to giggle. Isuzu chuckled as well.

"Eh, not really..", she sighed, scratching the back of her head. Rei stood up, a new found determination in his being.

"Tsukume-senpai, teach me how to shoot the bow and arrow!", he exclaimed. She was taken aback by his sudden request, but it soon faded away as she gave him a lopsided smile.

"Alrighty then!", she chirped, glancing at the other four. "You guys are probably going to get bored, go look around or something.", she added. Nagisa jumped out of his seat, grabbing Sachiko's and Makoto's wrists.

"C'mon guys, I wanna see the fish tank!!", he whined, dragging them along. Haru sighed, following after the three. Once they were gone, she looked back to Rei. "Ready, Rei?", she questioned, a knowing smirk on her lips..

.."Well, you're hopeless at learning how to use a bow and arrow.", Isuzu claimed, looking at all the arrows on the floor, not even near any of the targets. Rei cried comically at his failure.

"I will never be able to achieve perfect form!", he whined. Sighing, Isuzu grabbed the bow and set an arrow on it. She pressed a button.

"Don't worry Rei. One day-", she started, closing her eyes and turning around, letting the arrow fly. It hit an advancing bear target in the heart. Rei watched her in awe. "-you'll be as good as me.", she finished, going into the area and picking up her arrows, placing them back in her quiver. Putting the bow on her body like a messenger bag, she looked over to the blunette. "C'mon, the others are waiting for us.", she mused. He nodded, still in a daze. The two walked out of the archery range, and before they could start walking downstairs, one of the employees cleared their throat. Confused, the two teens turned around with raised eyebrows. The employee pointed to something above them. Isuzu and Rei looked up, and saw the familiar holiday plant. They blushed, Rei's being darker than Isuzu's. Taking a deep breath, he gave the brunette a shy peck on the lips before rushing down the stairs. Isuzu stood there, caught off guard, before regaining her focus and following after him.

The others were confused as to why Rei was blushing madly and to why Isuzu had a creepy smirk on her face.
