Time: March 24, afternoon

Description: Sheena and Zaki gives a try to go out for a date.

Yamazaki ran out of his apartment with the still turned on communicator in one hand. He wasn't able to think of small things like locking the door or taking up more appealing clothes. Sheena waited for him in the very building he lived. she was here! And she was ready to go out with him! His heart sang a gloomy song of a soldier leaving his homeland en route to the war and death...It did not fit to the occasion but these kind of songs were Yamazaki's favorites. When he arrived at the third floor he stopped at Sheena's door, took a deep breath, and...took another deep breath...he raised up his hand...and tugged his messy hair...and then he knocked the door very quickly and turned away!

[She reaches out and lightly touches his cheek.]

Why do you think you're an idiot, Zaki? I've never thought you were.

Am I not?

[Yamazaki always thought of himself as an idiot who came from an idiotic world since he arrived to Death City, and now he's honestly surprised there's someone who thinks he isn't. What1s more, it's Sheena, who, according to Zaki is the most normal person in the world. In every world.]

Why do you think I am not an idiot?

No, you're not.

[And she doesn't know what he considers normal, but somehow it probably isn't what she thinks it is.]

Zaki, it's normal for people to do silly or strange or as you put it--idiotic--things in their life. It's natural and all part of being human.

So, you're perfectly fine the way you are; there's no need to change at all, okay?

So...

[Sheena just gave Yamazaki a lot of things to think over! Sheena says, he's normal and she's right because Sheena's always right. But if he's normal than there's no need to wait for asking for her! It's perfectly okay to ask for her right here and now!]

I see.

[They're on the street and all, but it doesn't really count. Yamazaki kneels down in front of Sheena and looks up at her.]

Sheena Fujibayashi, would you marry me?

[No, Sheena isn't always right. She just follows her emotions and instincts--and experience--which occasionally lead her in the right direction.

And being with Zaki sure feels that way.

Although, she is totally unprepared for what he does next and can only stand there, looking at him with eyes wide and her mouth moving silently as she tries to say such a simple, one-syllable answer.]

Y- Y- Y-

[This is hard, okay?]

[So, Sheena is always right, even when she says she's not always right. She'll be a very good wife for Yamazaki if she says yes. Yamazaki is absolutely not sure about the answer, though.]

Are...are you feeling well? Sheena...if you don't want it...it's okay...I know I'm not a cool guy you'd deserve...

So is ~~Yamazaki~~ the asphalt.]

[They'll argue about that later--especially since she's still working on one syllable at the moment.

It's his comment that finally allows her to speak, but she's still not saying that word--not yet.]

I'm fine, Zaki, and so are you. And I want to.

Yes, Zaki, I'll marry you.

[Maybe she can help ~~with both~~.]

[SHE DID IT! YES!!!

Yamazaki is actually surprised that Sheena just said yes to him. Such an awesome girl...and she's his fiancee now...He does feel the butterflies in his stomach and the bones in his legs turn to lemon jelly, so he stays on his knees holding Sheena's hand.]

I...thank you. I am honored.

[Yes, once her brain got working again, she did it.

And her own legs are feeling a bit weak, so she leans against the wall for support, the smile she gives him both warm and happily derpy at the same time as she tugs on his hand.]

Zaki... Stand up. I want to give you something.

[At least they have one working brain now!]

[Zaki stands ap and takes an uncertain look at Sheena.

You...didn't buy a ring for me, did you?

[Now, cut that out. Zaki's brain works fine.]

No... I didn't buy a ring for you. I just want to give you this:

[And she wraps her arms about his neck to pull him closer so she can capture his lips with hers.]

Huh...

[Yamazaki didn't expect of this, so he stiffens for a moment before kisses Sheena back, shyly and confusedly. But he feel good - very good - and after the kiss he just says smartly]

Huh...

[And when he pulls away slightly, Sheena smiles shyly, having come to a sudden realization about Zaki. Leaning close, and with cheeks red, she whispers.]

I love you, Yamazaki Sagaru.

[No, Yamazaki doesn't start dancing and singing in the middle of the street, but he'd like to. And he'd like to fly with sheena, like Superman with that woman who could never beat Sheena in awesomeness, prettiness or in any other thing she tried to beat her.]

Thank you.

["Thank you"? That's an odd response, but maybe she had kept him wondering for too long about how she had felt.

Well, now he knows, so where's the hugging and spinning in circles? Not to mention putting the ring on her finger? :)]

You're welcome.

[Huh, why does Sheena look like she'd wait for something? She wants something else...something more. But...]

Would you like to go somewhere else, too?

[This looks harder than he thought...]

I love you, too. A lot.

[She looks like she's waiting for something because she is, but she doesn't say anything--for now.]

Hmmm... How about a walk in the park? I haven't been there for a while.

[But it's worth it, isn't it?]

[She leans up and kisses his cheek before whispering in his ear.]

I know, and I'm sorry it took me so long to say it to you.

[Yamazaki gently squeezes Sheena's hand as a response. Going to the park is a good idea, because...]

You...you'll look even beautiful in the park...that's what I think. It's like a forest or a field would fit you more than the city. because...cause you're like a flower. [Oh, no, what if Sheena would think Yamazaki just said she has as much brain as a potted vegetable?] A...a very smart flower.

[And as they're walking to the park he murmurs on a silent, ashamed voice.]

I...wanted to give a beautiful ring to you, but...I am poor. But don't worry, I'll find another job and one day when you don't even count on it I'll give it to you.

[She stops and stares at him in surprise.]

Zaki, did I tell you I was found in the forest as a baby?

[Because if she hadn't, the fact that he picked up on that is kind of sweet.

She continues on, shaking her head and squeezing his hand.]

I don't need anything expensive, Zaki; the fact that it's from you is just fine. [She does, however, want to let people know she's taken, so maybe a ring she has back at her place switched over will work.]

[Zaki stares back and he looks like he just did something bad. He doesn't remember Sheena said anything about this.]

No, it's just...I often think of trees and forests when I look at you. I hope you don't mind it. [And he asks a bit angrily - angrily at the parents who abandoned their child] And who were those...persons who left them there? Did they it on purpose? Did they want to get rid of you?

[But a shy smile appears on his face as the girl starts to talk about he ring.]

I...I'd like to give you something nice. Is it wrong?

[Sheena squeezes his hand to let him know that she's not mad--merely surprised. At his explanation, her eyebrows raise even higher in surprise.]

Do I really remind you of those things? I-- I didn't know that. [Her cheeks turn pink at what she's considering a compliment from someone who can read her very well. Maybe it's something a ninja shouldn't feel--but to hell with that; it feels nice.

The smile disappears as he continues, her own anger and questions coming to the surface.]

I really don't know, Zaki. I was only a baby when I was found by the Chief of Mizuho. But, I've always wondered the same thing. [She pauses.] They might have known about my abilities, and where I come from, people like me aren't treated very well, so they might have left me near Mizuho on purpose, since it's well-hidden.

[She looks at him with a smile just as shy.]

It's not wrong, Zaki, but anything from you will be nice.

Yes. Being with you is like taking a walk in a forest. It's peaceful and pure...like you, when you're not angry. But I like you even when you're angry. It makes you very pretty.

[Maybe what Sheena feels is not something a ninja should feel, but a pretty young girl engaged to a...Yamazaki definitely should feel this.]

I can't believe they were threatened...or if they were threatened...you were just a baby, weren't you? How could they think you'd harm anyone, I am sure...

[...and Zaki smiles at Sheena with that smile always followed by something odd thought.]

...they went on a picnic and somehow they forgot about you being with them. Maybe a big storm, or something like that...

[He's not the first one to tell her that, but he's the first one she believes.

After a moment of silence, she looks up at him, her expression worried--almost frightened. Well, she may as well tell him.

And things had been going so nicely, but of course, leave it to her to mess things up.]

On my world, people with elven blood are discriminated against. There are even laws against them, so many don't admit to being half-breeds. Since I'm a summoner, it means that I must have some elven blood as well. [She chuckles softly.] While I like some of your ideas, I can't help wondering why they abandoned me. Other parents kept their children, so what was wrong with me?

[What can those elven be? Are they like the aliens invaded his world? But then...]

In the world I lived we didn't like too much the aliens came from other planets, but we had a good reason to do so. They were...kind of guests on our planet, yet they forced us to live by their rules, they looked down on us and despised us for...

[For why, really?]

...for being human. I guess we were treated by aliens the same way you and the other...half-breeds. Forgive me for still not understanding this summoner-thing fully, but...it was not something you used for evil purposes, right? It was just something you had, like...like the color of your eyes. If they blamed you for being a summoner, they were just stupid. And...

[big gasp]

And if your parents left you because you had some elven blood than...I'm sorry, but they were just stupid, too.

[Oh, just wait, there's more...]

That sounds like the elves. See, there were only humans and dwarfs on the planet before the elves came, and they looked down on all of them. Well, maybe not the dwarfs so much since they're pretty skilled at making things the elves liked to use.

[She pauses.]

Of course, there were humans and elves who thought differently, and they had children. Children who were hated by elves because they had "inferior" human blood in them and hated by humans because they had the skills of elves as well as the ability to live much, much longer than humans.

[She looks up at the sky, her smile a bit sad.]

My parents would have also had some sort of elven blood--or at least one of them had. But, other parents kept their children; so why didn't they keep me?

Half the time she doesn't even know she's doing it.

Instinctive flirters are the best :D.

More like accidental. :D But that's Sheena!
