Chapter 10: Tell Me Now
The next day, Ibuki received flowers at her door along with a love letter from Togami. She was being giving a lot of attention, and a lot of it was getting to her head. It made her happy being kissed on the cheek and forehead, and the two shared their first real kiss under the stars together.
Ibuki was actually getting inspired to write some music words down for a love some and was even starting to write poetry of how in love she was. Today, was their first date. Togami had asked Ibuki out to go to the amusement park. Ibuki quickly went to bed so she could be fully rested for the day ahead of her.
But, she got an unexpected surprise. "Hey!" A voice called out. It was Chi Chi. "Oh, hey Chi Chi! Boy, Ibuki hasn't seen you for a wh-"
"Cut the chit chat!" Chi Chi demanded, catching Ibuki off guard. "What...?" The musician asked in confusion. "Look, this relationship is cute, but you need to face the facts Ibuki. Your first date is coming up. Look, you don't even know this guy's favorite color!" Chi Chi stated and put her hands on her hips. "All I'm saying, is to not get carried away. This guy may not be what he see-"
"Hold the phone! First Komaeda, now you?!" Ibuki asked angrily. "Ibuki is tired of everyone picking on Togami! First you tell Ibuki to go for him, now your telling Ibuki to watch out cause he might be dangerous?!" Ibuki said and crossed her arms across her chest. "Look, I'm just giving some warnings. You might want to consider finding out more about him first. And remember your friends? Yeah, they exist! You've been ignoring them!" Chi Chi said. "Oh, so these are warnings?! I thought this was a lecture!" Ibuki snarled and walked away from Chi Chi.
"...I think I wanna wake up now."
"W-wait...! Ibuki..! I-If you wake yourself up I'll-!"
"I don't want to hear it!"
"...what a friend I thought you were."
Ibuki woke up in the middle of the night, tears forming in her eyes. "What...what have I done..?" Ibuki then covered her mouth. Had she just referred to herself as 'I'...? Even worse...she just erased Chi Chi. She will never be able to see her again...
The next day, Ibuki didn't feel so great. In fact, she was scared of Chi Chi's warnings. Maybe she should take them into consideration.... Ibuki walked outside and waited by the tree, the usually meeting spot. She sat there waiting for Togami. The wind breezed by, combing through her long hair. She sighed and looked at the sky. "Chi Chi is right....Ibuki doesn't even know Togami's favorite color! Maybe he's hiding something....ugh, I shouldn't doubt Togami....or...should I?" Ibuki debated with herself.
All that sweet stuff he has done....it wasn't like him. Why wasn't it like him? Why did he change from stuck up to sweet in an instant?
"Ibuki?"
"Huh?!" Ibuki flinched and realized Togami had arrived. He chuckled and smiled. "Ready to go?" He asked and Ibuki nodded, grabbing his hand and beginning to walk beside him. They both walked in silence to the amusement park. The first ride the went on was a roller coaster, then this teacups ride. But, they were both silent.
"Ibuki...."
"Yeah?"
Togami turned to look at Ibuki and stopped walking towards the next ride. "Are you nervous?" He asked and Ibuki shrugged. "Ibuki doesn't know....Ibuki guesses you could say that." She said and looked at the floor. "Why do you ask?"
"It's just that your so...quiet. You seem to be thinking a lot and I thought it was because you were nervous." Togami pointed out and Ibuki faked a smile. "Everything is fine! Trust Ibuki."
After that, the two both talked. They both messed around, but didn't have fun. Something was wrong. But why didn't it feel the same? Finally, they came to their last ride. The Ferris wheel.
When they were on the top, Ibuki could tell Togami was going to kiss her and pop the question: "Are we official?"
But, she had to ask something before that happened. The ride started to slowly move. "Togami-Kun... I know your hiding something from Ibuki. Please. If this is going to work, Ibuki needs to know what your hiding!" Ibuki demanded and Togami was surprised. He had almost forgotten he was still undercover.
The ride was nearing the top.
"Ibuki..."
"No, Ibuki can't trust you unless you tell Ibuki what your hiding!" Ibuki demanded. She was dead serious now. As the ride got closer to the top, Togami got more nervous. This is where their relationship was going to end, huh?
"Ibuki...I'm...I'm not Byakuya Togami."
