"Allow me to help you," Kyoya insists as I wash our plates from breakfast.

"Nnno, you go change~ We've got places to be." I giggle, pushing him away with my hip as I set the plates in a drying rack.

"If you insist." Kyoya says, a chuckle escaping his lips as he walks down the hall to my bedroom. Cleaning up the kitchen, I head to the bedroom myself, knocking a couple of times before walking in. Kyoya was dressed. For the most part. I mean, he didn't have a shirt on.

Feeling the heat rise to my cheeks, I don't make eye contact as I go to my closet, pulling out some clothes. As I close the closet door, I feel a presence behind me, making my spine stiffen. Kyoya lightly grabs my chin and turns my head, his face was right next to my ear, and his other hand was against the wall, pinning me in place.

"Allow me to help you change?" He asks in a husky voice, and I squeak as my face turns darker.

"N-no! I-i'm perfectly capable on my own, thank you." I talk quickly, getting out of his grip and then pushing him out the door. "D-dream on, Kyoya." 

"Hopefully I won't have to dream for much longer~" He laughs quietly, as I slam the door closed. Since we did he become such a tease?! Ugh, so flirty! I huff, changing into spandex shorts and a sports bra. Yes, it sounds sluttish, but it's for what Kyoya and I will be doing. For extra measures, I pull on my purple sweatshirt, which goes to mid-thigh. Don't want Kyoya to make me into a tomato just yet, I mean we haven't even left the house yet! Walking back out, I feel my tails swish beneath the sweater.

"Do our plans involve anymore tree climbing?" Kyoya asks as we both walk out of my house and into the woods. I lead him deeper in, where there's more shadows and overcast.

"Mmm no," I laugh, "But it involves swimming~" I chime, and break into a run. We were running up a hill and it ended at a cliff. As I was running, I took my sweatshirt off and tossed it to the side.

"Onaji, slow down!" Kyoya calls after me as I was running straight for the cliff. I laugh, ignoring him and diving off the edge.

Kyoya's POV

What is she, suicidal!? I quickly run to the edge and look over. I watch as she dives into a pond. Letting out a sigh of relief, I stand back up. I'm not necessarily one for heights, but this.. could seem appealing. Unbuttoning my shirt, I drape it over a rock, and set my glasses next to it, then dive off of the cliff myself. If Onaji did it, so can I.

It feels like slow motion as I dive into the chill water. The liquid envelopes my body as bubbles surround me. Swimming to the surface, I take a deep breath of air. The smell of wet grass and wildflowers fill my senses. Although my vision is slightly blurred now, I can still see the beauty that this pond possesses. The pond is secluded in weeping willow trees, and there's pink wildflowers growing along the edges. The water is an aqua color, but also crystal clear. I look around more, but Onaji comes and pushes me under again. 

"You actually jumped~!" She laughs as I come back up, wiping the water from my face. This girl. Honestly. 

"Why would you jump off of a cliff like that anyway?" I inquire, glaring at her lightly. "Don't make me worry like that."

"I told you Kyoya, this weekend will be full of surprises~" She giggles, "You were worried~? About me?" Onaji teases, poking my shoulder. I just roll my eyes. As Onaji dives back under, I notice something rustle in the bushes on the bank. With my blurred vision, I can't make out what it is, but it's gone. I'll disregard it.

Seeing Onaji swim towards a rock in the middle of the pond, I swim after her. We both climb onto it and lean back on our hands. I finally notice her attire. I can't help but allow the heat to flush to my face.

"Onaji what on earth are you wearing?" I ask her, looking her body up and down. Multiple times.

"Swimming in this is easier than jeans and a shirt." Ona tells me, motioning to my own jeans which clung to my skin uncomfortably. "Again, surprises~" Well these jeans are now trash. The water will ruin them. How much were these? $70 or more? I shrug it off. I can always purchase more later. 

"When did you learn to swim?" I ask after a while of peaceful silence.

"My mom taught me before we moved." Onaji laughs, pawing the air. "I'm the best at doggy paddle~"

I can't help but laugh, "I'm sure you are." Out of habit, I go to push up my glasses. Which weren't on my face.

"Ha! You tried pushing up your glasses and they weren't even there!" Onaji snickers, clutching her stomach. I stare at her blankly. "Imagine if Hikaru and Kaoru heard about this! You would never hear the end of it!"

"You wouldn't."

"Oh but I would."

"No you won't."

"I will~" 

"Onaji.."

"Hai, Master~?" Onaji teases, edging me on. Just as I go to grab her, she slips back into the water. She thinks she can get away from me. I scoff lightly, diving into the water and swimming after her.

Successfully grabbing her waist, I pull her to me as she thrashes around. "You won't."

"Okay okay, I give in!" Onaji whines, and I chuckle, letting her go. She sticks her tongue out at me, and I just wink back. Surprises surprises. What does this day have in store for us?

Onaji's POV

I'mmm still telling Hikaru and Kaoru. I had my fingers crossed~ I snicker quietly to myself as Kyoya has this smug look on his face. He thinks he's won. 

~*~*~*~*~

"Onto the next surprise!" I declare as Kyoya buttons his shirt back up and puts his glasses on. I just drag my sweater behind me. I don't want it getting wet. 

"Which is?" 

"A surprise, Kyoya~" I tell him, and began marching back into the woods. It's probably around like 2 or 3 in the afternoon. "But first we'll have a really late lunch." We go back to my place, and make simple sandwiches, eating them at the island. 

"I'm much more use to eating fancier foods." Kyoya murmurs while eating the sandwich I made for him.

I pout, "You don't like your sammich?" 

"No it's delicious, just something i'm not used to." Kyoya responds quickly, which makes me giggle. 

"It's strange for you innit~ Eating commoner food for once." 

"You don't have to put it like that, Onaji." 

I laugh, finishing my food and then placing our plates in the sink. 

"Surprise time?" He asks, and I nod. Going on tiptoe, I grab some baking ingredients from the top cupboard and hand them to him.

"Are we.. baking?"

"Correction, making~ We don't bake these." 

"And what are 'these' exactly?"

"We're gonna make some more cookie dough~" I pull out a bowl and spatula. "Grab the butter and sugar, we'll need 6 tablespoons of sugar and brown sugar."

"This is the surprise?" He asks, doing as I said.

"Hm~ Something from my childhood that I wanna share with you~" I begin mixing the sugars and butter while Kyoya gathers the other ingredients. As I go to ask him for the flour, he presses his body against my back. Kyoya's arms snake around me and put the flour into the bowl.

"Flour?"

"Y-.. yea. A-arigato.." I stutter, beginning to stir again. He adds the other baking ingredients and then places his hands on mine, helping me stir. My face must be so red, but I can feel my tails wagging. They were hitting Kyoya's legs.

"You're awfully quiet." Kyoya says, his head was resting on my shoulder, so his breath was hitting my neck, making me tense.

"A-and why do you think that is? Y-you're really close!"

"But you seem to be enjoying it, do you not?" He whispers, and leaves a kiss on my neck. "Your tails tell me otherwise~" 

"K-kyoya.." I trail off, huffing quietly and continuing to make the cookie dough. "All you do is tease me. In return, you gotta eat at least half of this cookie dough." 

"That works for me. You're a wonderful cook. Whether you're making commoner sandwiches, or raw cookie dough." He chuckles, making me smile slightly. 

"Here, try this. I added M&Ms to it." I take the spatula and scrape the edge of the bowl, and hand it to Kyoya. He pulls away from me and grabs it, taking a bite.

"Still gaggy sweet." He smirks, which makes me laugh.

"Yea, just like me~" I grab some of the dough, eating it myself.

"You can say that again." Kyoya mumbles, and I look back at him, my eyes narrowed.

"What was that, Shadow King?" 

"Nothing at all Ona, you must be hearing things." He pats my head.

"My hearing is 10 times better than yours."

"Shush. Next surprise?" 

"Fiine. You needy rich person." I giggle and dodge him as he tries to smack me. "We're gonna go look at nature's beauty~"

"It seems that's all you like to do." Kyoya says as we both walk back to the door, exiting my cave.

"Hm~ What else am I supposed to do? I don't have technology out here, I had to entertain myself somehow. I know these woods like the back of my hand."

"Speaking of hands." I feel his hand intertwined with mine. "Wouldn't want to get separated from you."

"We're almost there~ It's just up here." I push some vines to the side and step over roots of trees. A cavern appears, and I feel the smile on my face. "Okay, you gotta stay quiet, okay? You don't want to scare them."

"Who's them..? Onaji this isn't dangerous is it?" Kyoya asks, his voice full of worry. I just giggle and lead him inside. The light disappears behind us and we're walking through black. "Onaji, how do you know where you're going?"

"You'll see, just shush." We walk for a little bit longer, and I see ahead a faint blue glow. 

"What.." We take a turn and the room is full of blue glowing dots on the ceiling. There's a tree growing in the middle with fluorescent water pooled around the base. "How?"

"It's the materials in the rock, but-" I clap my hands, and over half of the dots disappear. "Half are glow worms." I giggle quietly. "I found this a few years ago, and it takes my breath away every time I come here."

"I can understand why.." Kyoya trails off, looking around. His grip loosens on my hand and he lets go. Kyoya starts walking around, looking at the walls and then coming to the tree. I watch as he crouches down and dips his hand into the water. "It's warm."

"Mm~ I think this is a hot spring actually. Further down in the cavern, there's hotter pools." I explain, stepping into the water and going over to the tree. The water only comes up to my thighs, but it's really warm~

Kyoya follows after me, sitting on one of the tree roots. "Out of all of your 'surprises' I like this one the best."

"Mm~ That's why I saved it for last. Then tomorrow, we'll make breakfast and then go back to that willow tree and climb up it again. Not to the top, just find a comfy spot on the branches, and we can talk about whatever. You're in charge of the date though, because if you entrusted it to me, we would be having a simple 'commoner' meal at the cliff." I giggle, and see Kyoya smile. He leans over and brushes some hair out of my face, tucking it behind my ear.

"I'll plan our date. It'll be one you won't forget." He talks quietly, pulling me closer and then kissing the tip of my nose. I pout.

"You tease."

"What, did you want me to do this instead?" He asks and then actually kisses me. Well durh, he missed the first time. I smile and kiss back, my tails wagging.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kyoya's POV *tomorrow evening*

"Oh my gosh, Kyoya are we going to Kouichi Diner~?!" Onaji asks me excitedly as we walk down the street.

"Mhm, it's close to the woods, and I reserved a secluded outdoor table, so you won't have to wear your wig. I'm surprised you can already tell, we've still got a ways to walk."

"My scent is of the utmost perfection~" Onaji giggles, making me smile slightly. She was wearing a forest green wrap dress with her ears covered by a wig, as usual. I'm guessing her tails are wrapped around her torso again so they aren't visible. To put it short, she looked stunning.

"I should've guessed." I chuckle, putting an arm around her waist to keep her close. Ever since yesterday, it feels like we've been being followed, but I can't tell. Getting to the diner, we get our seats and order soon after. 

"Ah I love the smell of this place~ Mm I love their food here." Onaji moans, which makes me quirk an eyebrow. She notices and then blushes in embarrassment. Ah she's so innocent. Our food comes and we're left to eat. I still have that nagging feeling as if we're being watched. 

"So, about our relationship.." I start off, and notice her cheeks turn pink. "Would you want to go ou-"

"Did you hear that?" Onaji asks suddenly, and I look up at her. Her ears were twitching, her fork poised in her hand. She takes a deep breath.

"I was wondering how long it'd take you to realize." I say, deciding to change the subject. Her attention was completely somewhere else.

"Realize what?" She questions, setting her fork down and looking over into the woods.

"It feels like we've been being watched." I glance over at the woods and see two glowing green eyes. My own eyes widen, and I stand up at the same time Onaji does. The eyes come closer and once they come into the light, I see it's a wolf. It had white and black markings, with a necklace hanging around it's neck.

"Onaji..?" I ask, seeing the two stare at each other for what seems like ages.

"... Kisumi?"

What? Did she say-!? Ugh, surprises. They ruin many things.

Ooo! What happens when Kisumi comes into Onaji's life again? What happened to Kisumi, was he captured? How did he find Onaji again after 11 years? And what about Kyoya's love? Will Onaji still feel the same after Kisumi comes into the story? STAY TUNED!
