Getting Closer

34: Meeting an Old Friend

Reimi : ririro.

She had just came back from one of the missions " Reimi. Oh oh ! Can we have fried chicken tonight? "

Reimi: the Korean version ones ?

She nods " um um. Those." Her eyes sparkles

Reimi : ok ok. You buy the chicken. Buy an extra bag this time. We have a guest.

Ririro : guest ?

Reimi: you'll know when this guest arrives tonight. Alright, go go go. Buy me my groceries.

Ririro : ok ! Oh ! I'll ask satoru to go with me. We can try that new cafe !

Gojo and her were in the cafe enjoying tea and pastries.

Gojo : do you want more ? Cake ? Pie ? My treat.

Ririro : so nice to me ? One treat after another.

Gojo ; so you'll remember I'm actually nice to you.

Ririro laughs a little " ok ! Satoru treats me the best !"

Then a girl walked over to their table " ririro ? You're ririro right ?"

Ririro ; .... Anna ?

Anna: ririro !! It is you !! Hi I'm Anna

Gojo ; gojo.

Anna : what a handsome boyfriend. And here I thought you would never get one. You know how you were in high school. Always skipping class, unpopular.

Gojo: and you must be the popular one

Anna : sadly so. You must have used some tricks to haul this one in. So what unseen things did you do ? Do tell me.

Gojo : I may look like this. But actually, I have a very disturbing personality. People who know me all say so.

Anna : so scary~

Gojo : so annoying. Maybe I'll just call this one a curse and...

" Satoru. " She shakes her head " it's ok. "

" Hmph. " And anna turns around to leave. As Anna left the cafe, they noticed she purposely walked slightly left just to avoid the tiny curse slob stuck on a chair leg.

Ririro ; she can see it.

Gojo: ignore it. She can die for all I care.

Ririro ; hehe. Disturbing personality. There it is.

Gojo ; skipping classes and unpopular and bullied ? I remembered you were trained as an assassin.

Ririro : I don't want to go around breaking people's arms or scaring the shit out of people. Plus... All she did was say how unpopular I was. Didn't do much to me, I was already sad and thought my own father didn't want me.

Gojo patted her head " you're ok now."

Ririro smiled " um. "

Gojo: so she only said mean things ?

Ririro ; carved my table too. Eh. I carved up real people. Didn't really feel much of it.

Gojo ; beat you ?

Ririro; .... She did have her gang... Just... Dodged their attacks. Gets them very annoyed. If I get hurt over that, I'll be way in trouble with my father.

Gojo laughed " they didn't try to grab you ?"

Ririro ; yes... Also tried to hit me with bats... But I...

Gojo : ended beating all of them up ?

Ririro : :p heh...

Gojo laughed " that's my girl."

Ririro ; wouldn't dare bully me after that. Sighs...

Gojo leaned back in his chair " what ?"

Ririro : I saw a curse hide in her bag... Do you think she went far ?

Gojo ; don't care about her. She's a bitch.

Ririro ; but...

Gojo: no.

Ririro: we're back with the chicken !!

Reimi: she's back !!  Asahi !! Can you get the chicken from her ?

Asahi, came out with an apron on and takes it over " welcome back. Ririro."

Reimi : asahi. How come you're here...

Asahi looks to Reimi. Reimi held onto his hand " well... I have an announcement to make. "

Ririro : that is ?

Reimi:  we are getting married.

Ririro's eyes lights up " that's great !! " She jumps up and down " since when ?"

Reimi : well...

Gojo : she meant, since when he's been coming over ?

Ririro nods enthusiastically " um um. It's always so obvious. You asahi. You always nag the people you like. "

Reimi : oh... Go away.

* Knock knock.*

Asahi : that should be for you. Ririro.

" Me ? " She opens the door of the apartment " hi. Ririro."

Reimi ; .... Dante !!!

Dante: hey. Just went toilet for a little while.

She ran over and hugged him " how come you're here ?!!
