AsaChi: Beauty Marks

Chapter 7: Chiharu; Baby Sister

"You knew about it the whole time?!" Chiharu yelped as she was trying to fix her hair. She glared at Katsuki. The black haired girl nodded, "You bet!" "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought it was best if I let you two figure it out on your own." Chiharu shrugged, "Fair enough." It was about 5:30, Asa-senpai would be here in about half-an-hour. She turned, checking out her outfit. She had been going through outfits for hours, hence why Katsuki was here.

This was the outfit they had finally settled on. A cute dark blue skirt with white bird print on it, and a plain pink top that matched the pink accents on the skirt. She was burrowing her mother's silver dangly earrings, and the locket around her neck shined against the pink shirt. Underneath the shirt, she was wearing a dark navy blue tank-top as to keep too much skin from playing peek-a-boo under her shirt.

She wore a pair of white lace flats on her feet. Chiharu whipped her hair up into a ponytail and looked at Katsuki. Both girls scrunched their noses and shook their heads. She played with her hair a little bit, trying to figure out what to do with it.

There was a knock on the door, "Come in!" A little girl with bright orange hair and a pink onesie looked up at her. "Hi Nat-Nat," she smiled at her baby sister. The little girl's eyes lit up, "You look so pretty sissy!"

Katsuki giggled at how cute little Natsu was. "We don't know what to do with sissy's hair though?" Katsuki asked her. The little girl came up beside Chiharu. "Hmmmm...." Just then her little face lit up, "You should curl it!"

Chiharu and Katsuki exchanged glances. "I do have a curling wand in my desk." Natsu bounced and raised her hand up high in the air, "Can I do it?" Katsuki picked up the little girl, "How bout you help me curl sissy's hair? We've gotta make her look all cute for Asahi!"

"Katsuki!" Chiharu blushed. Natsu giggled, "Ok! I know where she keeps her stuff!" For the next twenty minutes, the three girls fumbled with the hot hair tool, creating bouncy curls and filling the room with hairspray.

Finally, as Chiharu finished putting on a little bit of makeup that consisted of mascara, brown eyeliner, and some light pink eyeshadow to make her eyes stand out, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Natsu sprang from Katsuki's lap, and ran out the room. Chiharu's heart began to skip, there went the butterflies! Oh man!

"Chiharu he's here." Katsuki breathed. Chiharu's knees began to shake. "Chi, calm down," Katsuki tried to soothe her. Chiharu took a deep breath, and took both hands and slammed them against either side of her face, just like Captain would do.

She was careful not to do it hard enough to leave marks. "Good?" Katsuki handed her purse and her jacket too the nervous girl. Chiharu nodded, taking them, "Good!" Katsuki grabbed Chiharu's shoulders and spun her around and gave her a shove. The poor girl stumbled out of her room.

She ran into the railing that over looked the living room that was downstairs. Asahi stood there, talking with an annoyed-looking Hinata. "Make sure you have her home at a decent hour!" he said. Asahi laughed nervously, "Okay, I will." He was wearing a black jacket with what looked like a nice blue and black button up shirt underneath and black pants. Natsu tugged on Asahi's jacket sleeve. He crouched down to the little girl's level "What is it Natsu?" She pointed up at her older sister, "Look how pretty she is Asa-kun!" That's when he looked up at her.

The third year stood up, he seemed to be staring at her. Where his cheeks blushing?!

"She sure does look pretty."

Chiharu swallowed the lump in her throat and made her way down the stairs. She waved goodbye to her best friend and her siblings as the two high schoolers stepped out the door and into the night.

It was warm outside, and the sun was just starting to set. "I thought I was never going to get away from Hinata," Asahi breathed a sigh of relief. Chiharu waved her hand, "Don't worry about him, he's just protective." They slowly started to walk down the street.

She found it so hard to look at the handsome third year. She was so nervous. "Hey, uh," Asahi rubbed the back of his head, "I was thinking maybe we could just go for a walk in the Orchid Forest park."

"But that's clear across town?" Chiharu looked up at him. He smiled down at her, "Well you told me to surprise you!" That goofy grin of his was beyond adorable. "How are we gonna get there?"

The area they were walked seemed to be getting more and more crowded, she didn't like this. "What's wrong?" Asahi cried. "I-I-don't know where you're taking me, Asa-senpai." She stammered, "I've never been on a date before I-" Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and gently pulled her up beside him, "Is this better?" All she could do was nod.

What was going on with him? This wasn't the same flustered boy who had asked her on a date a few days ago. "Just hold my hand tight, and we won't get separated on the train."

Two close-together train rides and a quick stop for pork buns and smoothies later, they had arrived at the park. Chiharu sipped on her Strawberry Peach smoothie. "Thanks, you didn't have to buy me all of that you know." Asahi shook his head, "Don't mention it."
