Destined To Love You

Chapter 16

As the couple walked towards the riverside, a group of girls approached them. They handed them some flyers.

"A fireworks display?"

Girl 1: Yes. It's for the celebration of our good harvest this past month.

Girl 2: We will also have some food stalls and booths.

Girl 3: Everyone in the village will join, so please do come.

Kagura: *Looks at Sougo with puppy-dog eyes*

Sougo: *Looks at Kagura* You want to go?

- Kagura nodded.

Sougo: Okay..

Girls: Thank you! See you later~

- They waved them goodbye.

Kagura: I'm so excited!

Sougo: Hmm.. You've never been to a festival before?

Kagura: Well, I did.. when I was little.. My brother and I would go to festivals with our parents. *sigh* I miss those days..

Sougo: Hey.. Don't you want to be with your brother? He's your family afterall.

Kagura: Well.. I want to... It's just that... I don't know what to do..

-Kagura looked down. Sougo looked at her. He then patted her head.

Sougo: You shouldn't overthink things. Everything's gonna be alright, believe me.

Kagura: Yeah, you're right. By the way, you said you're gonna take me to your favorite place. Where is it?

Sougo: Oh right.. I almost forgot.. It's over there. Let's go.

~ At a Dagashi Shop..

(Note: Dagashi refers to cheap Japanese candies)

"Woah~ So many candies! And they're prices are very cheap!" - Kagura exclaimed.

Sougo: Yup. Nee-san and I always go here after school when we were kids.

Kagura: I've never been to this kind of store before.. Woah, yogurt~

Sougo: Here, try this.

- He handed her a *insert dagashi here* Kagura then quickly took a bite (she was really excited).

Kagura: Mmm.. Oish- WAAAH!!!!!!

Sougo: That's my sister's favorite. You know how much she loves spicy food. *smirks*

- Kagura quickly grabbed a ramune bottle and drank it.

Kagura: YOU'RE SUCH A SADIST!!!!

Sougo: Well, it's your fault for swallowing it so quickly.

Kagura: Hmp!!!

- Kagura walked out of the store.

Sougo: Oi, we haven't paid yet. Oi!

- Kagura didn't even took a glance at Sougo. The latter let out a sigh and paid for the dagashi. He then went out to chase after Kagura. Unfortunately, she was nowhere to be found.

Sougo: Where did she go? She couldn't have gone that far in just a minute.

-He looked around but there was no sign of her.

Sougo: *sigh* Maybe she went home already.. Too bad, I found some sukonbu on that Dagashi shop..

-Suddenly, he noticed something moved beside the old vendo machine. He then slowly walked towards it and took a peek. He then saw Kagura sitting behind the machine, her hands covering her mouth as to not make any noise. The brown-head smirked and poked Kagura on her head.

Sougo: Found you..

- Kagura looked at him with a disappointed face.

Sougo: Are you still mad?

- Kagura just pouted. Sougo then got something from the plastic bag he was holding.

Sougo: Here..*hands her the sukonbu*  Sorry about earlier..

- Kagura looked at him.

Kagura: You know me too well, huh.. *takes the sukonbu*

Sougo: Ofcourse. You're my future wife afterall. *smirks*

- Kagura's cheek turned red. Sougo then offered his hand to her.

Sougo: Let's go..

- Kagura then took his hand and stood up. She then gave him a sweet smile.
