I Can't Kill Him [Akabane Karma]

23 | My Second Kiss

A/N: You'll see soon which choice I chose ;) I am still considering whether or not I will add the ball game because it is not really needed in my story plot, but maybe it can when we see Asano's debut into the story XD What do you think?

"You know, I have no idea what you are talking about," I replied.

"Hmm, it seems it has been chosen," Karma muttered, but it was loud enough for me to hear.

"What exactly is it..." I sighed.

"Come on, Haru-Haru," Karma chimed and grabbed my hand.

"Ok..." I replied, but I was kind of uncertain. Isn't he the one I have to kill?

+++

"Isn't this... An amusement park?!" I exclaimed, trying to hide my excitement. I had never been to an amusement park before after all. Strict lifestyle and all, we did not get to go out and have fun at all...

"You never been to one?" Karma asked, giving an amused smirk.

"No," I replied, kind of annoyed. I cannot assassinate him here. An amusement park is a completely unknown venue for me. I mean, I have had assassinations at parks before, but they are always different. I have to go to assassination location a day before just to plan it all out. Assassinating him today will be tough.

"Come on, let's take the rollercoaster," Karma said and grabbed my hand. I immediately froze and asked, stuttering, "Wh-What do you think you are doing?"

"I am holding your hand, it's normally at dates," Karma replied.

"But we aren't dating!" I replied bluntly.

"Ouch, that burned... Just kidding," he replied and stuck his tongue out. For some reason, that really ticked me off. "There should not be any problem, after all, you will get lost without holding onto me."

"No I won't," I replied, trying to get my hand out of his, but his grip only tighten. I sighed in defeat and allowed him to drag me to the queue to the rollercoaster. It was pretty short considering that it was a weekday and we were skipping school. There were a couple of delinquents, young adults and couples. For some reason I also felt a that a lot of people were staring at me. Strange...

My stomach rumbled a little and Karma burst out laughing. I blushed and turned away, digging through my bag for sweets, but found none. Why aren't there any? I should have eaten my breakfast before I left...

"Are you hungry, Haru-Haru?" Karma asked in a teasing tone.

"N-No," I lied, kind of embarrassed. He let go of my hand and replied, "Wait here, I'll go get food for your hungry stomach." He left to a food store as I held on my growling stomach. I'm so hungry...

I wonder why he asked me out on a date... We don't even like each other... We have a target and assassin relationship, but I have really slacking, haven't I? Why am I being so soft? Do I feel not up to the task? Or am I waiting for something? A miracle that will make me kill him.

In a few minutes, he came back with two sticks of ice cream, one chocolate and one vanilla.

"Chocolate or vanilla?" He asked.

"Uhh... Vanilla," I replied and took the vanilla ice cream. I started to lick on it and bite off small bits. It's so sweet and good... But, ice cream at 11 in the morning? Well I'm not complaining.

"How is it? This brand is pretty good," Karma asked.

"It's good, I should bring Hari-chan some when she wakes up," I replied. "She loves ice cream and sweet stuff just as much as I do."
