Eima bobbed her head slightly as she listened to the music in her ear phones. "Walking in the park today was a great idea." she said to herself turning a corner. "?" she looked up to see Kazuna. "Hey!" she yelled waving at him, turning off her music. "Hey Kaz." she said running up to him.

At the time, Kazuna hadn't paid much attention, as he was just resting back on the bench, staying quiet and watching the passers by. Upon hearing the familiar voice, he slowlyly opened his eyes and raised his head, noticing Eima standing in front of him. "...I told you. Don't call me Kaz..." he said abruptly.

"But, it's my nickname for you." Eima said sitting down beside him, tilting her head slightly. "What are you doing?"

"Relaxing." he replied simply, putting away something into his pocket. It hadn't been too long since Kazuna had met Eima at his school. But ever since she invited herself to eat lunch with him, he'd seen her around a lot more often.

Eima sighed and rubbed her head. "How about you come with me shopping?" she asked looking over at him, smiling. "It'll be fun."

Still not looking at her, Kazuna just sighed. "Do I have to?"

"No, but I'd like for you to." Eima replied resting her head on her hands. "Well, will you?"

Taking one last look at the vast amounts of green in front of him, Kasuna swiftly got up to his feet, turning to look at Eima. "Well, you coming?"

Eima smiled and nodded her head, standing up to her feet. "Lets go." she said grabbing his hand. "I'm in need of a new skirt. So, you're gonna help me with that."

"PLEASE don't tell me I have to watch you undress or something..." he replied in a distant tone.

"No." Eima said blushing slightly. "What's going threw your mind? I just need help finding a new skirt." she said pulling her hand out of his crossing them. "So lets go, you perv."

"I'm not a perv..." He said, but left it at that. He knew better than to keep arguing in this situation.

Eima didn't say anything else. "Alright, here we go." she said looking up at the clothing store. "A black skirt, okay?" she said as she entered the store. "You look over there, alright?"

Kazuna followed the direction in which Eima pointed, and noticed the area he was supposed to search in was already crowded with a lot of teenage girls. Each of them browsing for new clothes. "Oh great..." he said flatly as he walked over. His presence went noticed by a few customers.

Eima found one skirt, then looked over at the crouded area. "Jeez." she said rubbing her head. "Maybe I should of...sent him over here." she commented running towards the opposite side where he was. "Kaz, do you need help?" she asked pushing her way up to him.

"I need help to get out, that's for sure..." he said, trying to make some space for himself among the crowds.

 "Give me your hand." Eima said plainly.

Doing just that, Kazuna felt Eima's hand grab at his. He couldn't quite figure out just how many girls there were in just a small area. 'I guess all girls love shopping...' he thought to himself.

"I hate crowds like that.." Eima said getting out of the crowd. "There we go." Eima said pulling her hand out of his. "So. Wait here, I'll be right back..I'm gonna go try this on"

"...whatever you say." He calmly replied as he saw Eima go toward the changing room. He looked around again, finally he had some space to himself. Which above all, is what he valued. Some girls were still giving him some suspiscious looks due to him being around the girls' clothing area.

"It's a little lose, but it's fine." Eima said appearing out of no where behind him. "I'll check out then we can go, okay?"

"Wha... oh right. Sure." Kazuna's surprise of her sudden appearance showed in his voice.

Eima chuckled slightly. "You're silly, Kaz." she said walking to the checkout, and paying for the skirt. "Let's go."

Silently, Kazuna followed her out of the store. "...so what next?" He rubbed his head as he looked around.

"Bookstore, if that's okay." Eima said looking back at him. "I need a new book to read."

"... I'll probably get something too." He added as he began walking. "Reading is... fun once you get into it."

"Yep." Eima said smiling over at him. "No one else I know thinks like that though. They think it's a waist of time." she shrugged and looked ahead. 

"It's only a waste of time to those who don't fully appreciate literacy..." he replied non-chalantly.

"Heh, yeah." Eima said slowing down slightly to walk beside him. "There's the bookstore."

Entering it, the two stopped in the main aisle, looking around at the walls, notcing a few people searching around. "Book-hunting time..." he said, going to the left.

 Eima went to the right, and began looking on the shelves for a good book that would ketch her attention. "Hm..okay, this one looks good!" she said taking off a romance novel, and a fantasy one. "...Now where's Kaz." she wondered walking around the corner.

Meanwhile, Kazuna was looking at some books of his own. He'd already picked a book that was Mystery themed. But as he went past a  few more shelves, he noticed the manga section. he noticed and pulled up a copy of 'Love Hina'.

Eima stood there raising an eye brow. "Not a pervert right?" she asked him, looking at the manga he was holding. "Isn't that an 'ecchi' manga?" she asked looking up at him.

"It was the first one that came to hand, for your infomation..." he replied, though promptly closing it and putting it back.

"I'm only teasing. That's a good seris to read." Eima said looking away. "Sorry."

"Yeah well..." he replied, averting his gaze. "...apology accepted."

Eima smiled "Here." she said handing him 'Love Hina.' "Go ahead. I'll read this."

For the first time in a while, Kazuna looked directly at Eima. "Well, if you say so..." he said. He wasn't quite sure how to finish his sentence, since his intimacy skills were somewhat lacking.

Eima looked at him, then looked away blushing. "Y-Yeah." she said as she began to read her manga.

Wondering for a moment, Kazuna opened up his own book and traversed a few of the pages. 'This Eima girl...' he thought silently.

"Done." Eima said five minutes later, and she closed her manga. "Another one.." she said taking the second book to the seris out. "I really quickly." she said opening it, smiling slightly.

"I doubt you'd ever have to buy a new book..." he replied. "... if you read that fast."

"Yeah." Eima said looking down at the book. "I'm gonna go check out okay?" she said standing up, and fixing her skirt. 

"Right." he asnwered as she walked away. He looked back at the shelf at the manga collection again. As he saw, Eima leave and stand just outside the door, he picked up a novel and headed towards the counter. Paying, he left the store, joining Eima again.

"I'm done shopping." Eima said looking up at him. "You want to go anywhere?"  

"Hmm, I'm hungry..." he said simply. "Are there any places that are good to have lunch at around here?"

 "There's a shack in the middle of town. Weird I know, but it's a good place to eat!"

"Okay..." he replied. "... my treat."

"I can help pay." Eima said looking over at him. "Okay?"

"But.... I said it's my treat." Sighing again, he allowed Eima to lead the way to their destination.

Eima blushed. "Okay...okay." she said pointing ahead. "There it is."

The two entered and saw an empty table near the main window. Kazuna sat down, putting his jacket to the side.

Eima sat down and looked down at her menu. "Here. I'm just gonna eat something like a burger." she told the watress. Ignoring the fact she was sort of flirting with Kazuna. "Kaz..you know what you want?" she asked in an mono tone

Somewhat put off by the waitresses 'advances', Kazuna also had a quick look at what was available. "The Moz Burger sounds good." he said.

Eima smiled to herself, as the waitress walked off. "...So, you did notice." she played with her napkin. "She was flirting with you right?"

Kazuna looked at her blankly. "...what's that mean?"

"The waitress." she said looking away. "Was flirting with you."\

"She was?" He dismissed it and looked back to his menu for a second time. "Hmm, I never noticed."

 "Really? Girls I guess are the only ones who notice." she said softly, taking a sip of water. 

"...Not that I didn't notice... I just wasn't interested." he said, scratching the side of his head. "I'm not interested in girls who dig for attention like that..."

Eima looked at him curiously now. "That type of girls..do you like then, Kaz?"
