Chapter 10

'Hey... Hey Same... Wake up...' Regna was in the boys room. 'Its morning sleepy head... wake up...'. Same was slowly coming back into reality. 'I dreamed about you yesterday Same' 'REALLY!?' Two heads knocked into each other. 'Owww... Same... that hurt' 'i'm so sorry! i was just suprised' 'About what?' 'You dreamedme?' 'Yeah' 'What's it about?' 'Secret' Regna shushed Same and winked at him 'i'll go and bath first' Same was starstruck.


Everyone was on the dining table except for Niax. 'Where is Niax Aunt Annix?' asked Same. 'Please call me Annix, aunt Annix make me feel so old. I'm treating her injury now, she'll be on the IV for a few days' 'You have an IV?' 'Yeah, i was a nurse back then' 'I see'. 'Okays everyone dig in!' Everyone started to eat their food. Same caught Yaru staring at him, Yaru shyly turned away. 'I sooo full!' said Lexis. 'Oh yea, Same!' called Annix. 'Yes?' 'Niax asked me to give you this' Annix handed a piece of paper to Same 'A shopping list?' 'Yea you guys need so gear if you guy wanna assasinate the emperor and here's some money to buy them' 'okay' Annix whispered to Same ear 'I made sure there's some extra money inside...' Same looked confused. 'You just follow the signs then you'll reach the shoppping district, you can come out now' Footsteps was heard from upstairs, then Same's jaw dropped. Regna was in a white long sleeve shirt, a short checkered pelated skirt and loose socks with her hair down. Same thought he was going to pass out any second. 'How do I look?' Same said nothing. 'Oh my god! is something on my face!?' Regna started to grope her face. ' Same immediatley stopped her 'No no no! you look absolutely marvelous! So marvelous, that i was momentarily stunned.' 'Really? 'Really!' Annix pushed the two out, threw 2 pairs of shoes and a jacket to Same 'Don't have too much fun you two!' Annix winked at Same and slammed the door shut. There was an awkward air around Same and Regna. 'Well, get your shoes on and let so shopping Same.'

They were walking side by side, following the signs. Same was panicking 'What should i do??? should i hold her hand? or just walk side by side?' Then Same sneaked a look at Regna, she was doing nothing so Same did just that. Then they reached what seemed like an endless street, they looked up and saw an arch with big words on it 'The Shopping District' it writes. Same walked in and saw all kinds of shops. Same Looked at his shopping list, the 1st was 6 comm devices. 'Let look for an electronic shop shall we?' 'Okay' they looked around and found a large IT depot. They went in and picked up 5 ear piece sized comm device. 'Lets see what next.... a Carbon Fibre rope and a large hook' Regna nodded and went around. They went into a hardware shop called 'The Works' and picked the stuff up. '.... and the last is' Same was speechless. 'What is it?' Same said nothing and handed her the paper. Regna was also shocked and then she recovered quickly and said 'well, what are we waiting for?' Same's eyes was wide open 'You sure about this?' 'I'm okay as long as its you Same...' Regna took Same's arm and hugged it. 'Okays, whatever you say Regna' The paper wrote 'Go on a date with Regna'

'So where do you wanna go first' asked Regna. 'I dunno where do you wanna go?' 'Lets go around till we see something interesting' Same nodded. They walked around the district. 'Hey! promote safe sex!!! use condoms!!!! avoid abortion!!!!' a safe sex activist was shouting at them. Regna's face was all red. (continued at 9th July) Same shielded Regna 'YOU WILL REGRET!!!' the activist was chasing them for a few seconds then went back to his original position. 'Wow that was awkward' Same said, Regna nodded and continued strolling in the shopping district. 'This is soo cute!' Regna let go of Same arm and ran to a stall. She was looking at a bracelet. The shoptender looked at Regna then moved her focus to Same. 'Oh a couple? we're having a special on couple accesories.' The shoptender motioned to the right of Regna. 'Oh my god! this is even cuter!' She held up the blue and looked at it. 'What is your favorite colour Same?' 'Red' 'Oh, okay. Miss! you have a Red braclet the same as this?' The shoptender seperated the red pair and gave it to Regna. 'Thanks!' 'That will be 15 credits please.' Same handed the money to the shoptender. Regna tied the bracelet to Same's left wrist. 'Let this be a sign of our relationship okay?' Same nodded.

'So you wanna eat something Regna?' 'Yeah' 'Lets try that shop over there' It was a cafe. 'Welcome home masters!' two waitresses dressed in maid outfits was greeting Same and Regna. 'Wow! we don't have these kind of cafe's back home!' said Same. One of the miads showed them to their table and gave each of them a menu. 'Same, why not we try this?' Regna pointed to a parfait named 'Cupid's parfait'. Its 3 scoops of strawberry ice-cream, some crushed nuts, chocolate syrup, some diced bananas and a few cherries. 'One of these please.' 'Of course my master'. Regna is looking at Same while he's staring at the maids. 'You like maid outfits Same?' 'Yeah, i have a few comic series about maids and Japanese culture' 'Japanese?' 'Oh yea i forgot, i'm in the future' Same smacked himself in the head. 'After this, we'll walk around and see if there's any clothing that resemble's traditional Japanese dresses' 'Okay Same, so how was it in the past?' 'Well, its quite peaceful. There's just school to deal with, there's some very asshole'ish teachers but there are a few good ones too.' 'So what are your hobbies?' 'Well, i like to cycle y'know? and surf the web, chatting with friends, hanging out with friends. I also do dancing, but i'm not that good at it. Oh yeah, i love reading comics and novels!' 'Wow, you do alot of...' 'Here's your Cupids parfait masters, enjoy your desserts' the maid interrupted. 'Well lets dig in!' Same took the first bite. 'Mmmm mmm delicious!' Regna took a bite and nodded in agreement. They ate untill there were only two cherries left. Same picked up a cherry 'Open wide Regna' Same fed Regna the cherry and Regna did the same. 'Hey Same, i heard from my friends that if you can tie a knot on the chrry stem with your tongue, it means that you're a good kisser' Regna ate the stem and started to tie a knot. Same put the stem in his mouth and started to tie a knot. Same had a hard time doing it as the stem kept going back into its original shape. 'Done!' Regna took out the Stem and showed Same. Same took out his stem and it was broken. 'Haha! i'm a better kisser than you!' 'Then can you teach me?' 'Well i never kissed someone before and i'm shy' 'Well i won't pressure you. Bill please!'.

They were back on the street. Now they were looking for clothing boutiques. 'Look there's a Yukata worn by the girls in Japan during summer' Same pointed at the Yukata. It was a shorter version of the Kimono. They walked into the store. 'Do you have a red colour for that Yukata?' Regna asked the shoptender. 'Sure we do, please wait a moment'. Same looked at Regna 'You wanna buy it?' 'Yeah, it looks cute and.. and you said you like Japanese culture right?' 'You're doing it for me?' '..... Yeah...' Same's heart was beating so fast that he thought Regna might hear it. 'here you go miss, would you come this way please' Regna went with the shoptender to the fitting room. After a minute, Regna came out. Same felt like he was hit by a sledge hammer. 'How... how do i look' 'The.. the Yukata matches your eyes' 'Ok then I'll have this!'. 'You wanna keep wearing it miss?' 'Yeah! can you please pack up my clothes?' 'Sure miss'. Same paid the money went out of the store. Maybe is because of Regna's dress, everyone on the street stared at her. Regna hugged Same arm 'Thanks Same, for the Yukata' 'No.. No problem'



Still, strolling on the never ending street. They saw a thug pass by, the thug pulled Regna away from Same. 'Hey, wanna spend sometime with me?' Regna struggled to loosen the thug's hand but her effort was futile. 'Hey dude, back off from my girl!' 'Your girl huh?' Same's vision went white for a few seconds and then he saw himself looking up at the thug then a shoe to his stomach. The thug kept kicking Same in the stomach, Regna was beggin the thug to stop but he didn't. A crowd was gathering around to see the show. 'Ahhhh! you fuckin asshole!' the thug dropped down and stinging pain came from his right foot, he looked at the foot that was not there, instead his right foot was one feet away from Same's stomach. Regna helped Same up, he was holding his anti-matter bladed knife he pulled from his jacket. He limped to the thug and held the knife to his throat 'I want you to crawl back to the cave you came from if you don't wanna die...' the thug was crawling away from Same. 'Are you ok Same?' 'Yeah, its just a bruis...' his sentence was interuptted by the urge to vomit. 'Lets go to the bench over there'. The crowd dissapated quicky, the severed foot was still on the street. Same is panting very hard, 'I'm so sorry Same' 'its not your fault, i should not have hesitated to pull out the knife in the beggining' 'Thank you Same' Regna bursted into tears. 'There there Regna...' Same lent his shoulder for her.



Same was feeling well after some rest on the bench, it was sunset. 'Regna.. Regna..' Regna was asleep on Same's lap. Same enjoyed the scene of the sunset. The foot is still on the street, the blood has dried and became a brownish red. 'Regna... its time to wake up' Regna was waking up 'uhhh.. what time is it?' 'I don't have a watch but i can tell you its sunset' Regna stared at the orange fireball 'its really beautiful' 'Yeah, like you Regna' Regna looked at Same, their eyes are locked in a never ending stare. Then both of them closed their eyes and moved closer to each other's lips. Their teeth clashed into each other 'Owww! Same that hurt!' 'So sorry! its my first time' 'Nevermind that, let redo it.' They close in again, Regna tilted her head and two lips touched. Same felt the warm heat from Regna's lip transferring to his own, Same hand acted on instict and jerked lightly at Regna's hair. Regna pulled back 'You know what Same?' 'What?' 'I love you...' 'Me too Regna, me too'.



'We're back!' Same was holding Regna's shoulder. 'Ohhhh i guess Niax was right' Annix noticed the dirt on Sams's shirt. 'What happened?' she pointed at the shirt. 'I got hit' 'Oh my god by who?' 'A thug' 'You go and take a shower fast and ima gonna treat you now quickly!' Same ran up to the bathroom. 'That boy he forgot his towel, i see you had a fun day' Regna nodded. 'Why not you pass him his towel?' Regna went to get Same's towel. Regna knocked on the bathroom door. 'Yeah what?' 'Its me' 'Oh Regna, what do you want?' 'can i help you scrub your back?' 'sure come in'. Regna opened the door and saw Same hiding behind the curtain 'Damn! i forgot to brign my towel!' 'I got it right here' She passed it to Same, Same tied it around his waist and came out. Regna was shocked to see so many bruises on Same. Same sat on a small chair, Regna took a small chair and sat behind Same. The bruises from the air raid was still visible. 'don't scrub it so hard, it stings' Regna was crying. 'Why are you crying again?' 'You always get injured when protecting me, it make me feel so.. ' Same interrupted 'Its not like i was forced to protect you, i did it because i love you' Regna didn't say anything, she was sobbing and scrubbing Same's back.



'Becareful next time okay Same?' 'Yeah i will, well i'm going to bed' 'G'night Same!' 'Nights'. Same went to Regna's room. Yaru was on her bed while Regna was on a matress on the floor. Same went and kissed Regna's forehead and left the room. Yaru witnessed the whole scene and bit her sleeve.
