1st Official Date

These were... probably the most unusual of circumstances Yami had ever found herself in. She was no longer just a weapon, she'd come to terms with that idea when she finally confronted the inner weapon inside of herself. Nemesis no longer could influence her life against her own will, and in many ways was indebted to Rito and intended to act in his 'best interests' whatever she thought those might be. In all of this chaos, all of these romantic rivals... somehow Mikan had convinced Yami to ask Rito out on a date. Even more surprising to Yami was that Rito had accepted, since she was unsure if Rito still thought of her as someone who wanted to kill him.

Were it not for the fact that Mikan was her best friend who she loved more than anyone or anything in the galaxy, she wasn't sure if she'd have had the courage to do this, yet here she was in the park in a pink top, a skirt, and sandals, waiting for Yuuki Rito. Mikan had assured her that she was the closest person to Rito, so if anyone could be trusted in getting Rito to go for her it was her. She wasn't sure if she wanted Rito to 'go for her' since most of the time that entailed him doing ecchi things to her, but there was a more warm and honest side to him that she did want for herself. Was it selfish of her that she wanted him all to herself when so many girls wanted him? Was it okay for her and Mikan to try to skew things in this direction away from the machinations of the other women in his life?

Yami didn't have the answers she was looking for, she barely even had the answers to what it was she was looking for from Rito or if a date was really the way to find it. She just knew that she wanted something to change and she trusted in Mikan that if she felt these feelings she felt towards Rito, this was the way she should act upon them. The most important thing that Mikan had said she had to do was to try to change Rito's perception of her from intergalactic assassin hell bent on killing him, to a cute, shy girl who he'd want to be with. Apparently the best way to do that was to start off with changing from her normal attire to something a bit more cute that she'd tried once before her life had become a bit more settled down.

She tapped her sandals together as she sat on the park bench, wiggling her toes as she nervously waited for him to show up. She wanted to look good for their date, but she didn't really have much experience with dating other than what she'd read. Mikan had given her all sorts of advise, but she just wasn't sure how much of it she could actually follow, and more than anything else she wanted this date to go well.
