Hanazaki City

Yoichi nods with a grin.

"Heh...if you put it that way...well I'm happy to."

He also starts walking next to her to a stand.

"Do you got enough money..I can give you some..if you need it."

Hisako nods happily before taking a small basket from the front and picks out a basket fulll of vegetables and fruits before looking up at Yoichi and shakes her head.

"hmm... nah it's okay.... Hisako has enough.... besides the lady that owns this stall was friends with my grandmother when she was growing up so it's fine..."

She says with a grin before walking to the counter where a black haired woman who looks to be in her 20's is standing and she immediately looks at Hisako when she comes to the counter and she smirks at her.

"Well if it isn't the young Suzuki-sama. . . how are you?"

The woman asks and Hisako looks a little flustered but shakes her head.

"N-No I'm not Suzuki remember? I'm Moutou Luna oba-chan. . . my grandma was Suzuki. . . and I'm not a sama. . . "

Hisako explains while Luna sighes and shrugs.

"hmm.... right...."

She murmurs before Hisako puts the basket onto the counter and Luna begins to pack it up into bags.

"so who's the boy? You've never brought anyone with you before..."

Luna says before looking up at him in the corner in her eye and Hisako grins.

"He's my friend!"

Hisako says happily and Luna chuckles.

"I see.... well I hope he's a good friend then.... don't want you getting hurt now dear..."

She says as if a warning to Yoichi and Hisako grins.

"He's a good friend! here you go oba-chan!"

Hisako says before giving her money and Luna passes her the bags.

"Hmm.... thanks deary. . . see you next week. . . "

She says before Hisako nods with a happy expression.

"Thank you!"

Hisako says before looking up at Yoichi.

"Come on! we still need to get some meat and drinks!"

She says with a grin before walking out to the sidewalk and looks around.

Yoichi shows a small smile when Hisako says that the lady who owns this stall was friends with her grandmother.

"Ah..okay then."

He followed her to the counter and listened to their conversation with a calm yet serious expression as if he was listening for any important information. a slightly suprised expression went across his face when he hears hears Luna's warning and a small smile went across his face and he turns around.

"..Heh..thanks."

Yoichi sighs when he notices the other assassin not far away behind them on the sidewalk.

"He's still following us?"

He thought when he looks behind him but he quickly turns back to Hisako when he hears what she says.

"Yea! I'll follow you."

Yoichi says when he quickly follows her with a happy expression.

Hisako looks at him confused when she saw him look behind them and she looks behind to see the other man and she smiles before looking up at Yoichi.

"Is that your friend that you were talking on the phone with on the train before?Kisa....ragi was it?"

She asks with happy expression before walking over to a small food market right across the street and walks into the store.

Yoichi nods with a small smile before he follows her into the store.

"Yea...I guess it was him...but stay away from him he's kinda weird..and..dangerous."

He says in a serious tone while he looks around the store for anyone else that's following them.

"Anyway so..what do we got to buy?"

Yoichi asks in a slightly worried tone because he knows Ragna (Kisaragi) is waiting outside.

Hisako looks up at Yoichi confused but nods with a soft smile.

"Tay. . . Hisako will stay away from him. . . "

She says with a smile before walking to the meat section and pouts in thought.

"Hmm...."

Hisako thought aloud before looking between the meats.

"We're looking for dinner. . . what would you like Senpai?"

She asks with a happy smile before a worried expression goes across her face when she notices he was looking around and she looks down with a weak smile.

"it's okay Senpai... you can wait outside if your embarrassed to be seen in here with me. . . Hisako will be quick..."

Hisako says before looking up at him with a small grin before looking back at the meats.

Yoichi nods when she said that she would stay away from Ragna and when he follows her to the meat section he still looks around until he hears what Hisako says and a suprised expression went across his face before he chuckles.

"Heh, I'm not embarrassed...how could you even say that.
We're friends remember? and friends aren't embarrassed about each other."

He says while showing a soft smile.

"Hmm...so...meat huh?...I don't know your going to cook right?
Suprise me.."

Yoichi says with a happy expression while Ragna waits outside the store.

Hisako looks up at him surprised when she hears him chuckle and she looks up at him confused. But her eyes widen she hears what he says and she looks down hurt.

"I'm sorry...."

She murmurs apologetically, before smiling weakly at what he says next and nods.

"Alright.... guess I'll make burgers then.... I never had burgers with rice before. . . "

Hisako says with a grin before picking up the ground beef and puts it into the basket.

"So now I'll need burger buns. . . and we still need drinks. . . "

She murmurs aloud before walking over to the bread section and picks out a package of burger buns and sticks them into the basket before looking up at Yoichi.

"How about Senpai goes and pick up drinks while I figure out what else we need?"

Hisako asks with a happy smile and tilts her head cutely.

Yoichi shakes his head when she apologizes

"You don't have to be sorry..it's okay."

He says with a smile and he looks down in thought when she says that she will make burgers and he follows her to the bread section and nods when he hears what she says.

"Sure I'll get something to drink."

Yoichi smiles before he turns around and he walks to the drinks section and picks up a large bottle with cola and walks back to Hisako.

"Is this okay?"

He asks with a raised eyebrow.

Hisako nods when he said he would get the drink and looks towards the door worriedly, before turning back to Yoichi with a smile when he comes back and nods.

"Sure! thats fine! I'll just pick up a package of rice then we can go. . . "

She says with a happy expression before taking the bottle from him and puts it in the basket, she then goes to another section of the store and picks up a large package of rice and puts it in the basket before she starts walking to the cash register.

"So. . . how long have you been looking for your brother?"

Yoichi smiles when she said that the cola's alright and he followed her to the other section of the store and walks next to her to the cash register before a suprised expression went across his face when she mentions his brother.

"My brother?...well...a few months ago...but I haven't seen him yet."

He says with a small smile after he puts his hands in his pockets

"But...I'll find him...someday... eh...anyway so do you live far from here?"

Hisako looks confused at his expression when she mentioned his brother and she looks up at him in curiosity before nodding at what he says.

"Ah I see.... but what do you mean you have never seen him yet?"

She asks confused but smiles at what he says next while she pays for the food and carries the bags in her other hand and she starts walking out with Yoichi.

"Hmm.... I see.... I hope w-. . . you find him soon. . ."

Hisako says with a happy expression before hearing what he asks and she points to the left of them when they are outside.

"i live a few blocks that way. . . it's closer to the next station. . . err. . . the station the train stopped at before stopping at the one we got off. . . but I like walking from here. . . it's nice. . . "

Yoichi doesn't say anything back when she asked him what he means that he has never seen his brother yet but chuckles when he hears what she said after that and he starts walking out with Hisako.

"Yea..."

He whispered when they were outside and he listens to what she says and nods.

"Ah...well guess a little walk would be nice."

Yoichi says with a smile while Ragna was watching the two from the roof of the store.

"But...about what you asked before about my brother...it's...complicated... lt's like..I have to keep an eye on the rare kind so I can meet him again.."

He looks back at her with a soft smile.

Hisako looks up at him confused while she begins to walk in the direction of her home.

"Keep an eye on the rare kind? rare kind of what?"

She asks in a confused tone while a crowd began to form on the street.

Yoichi walks next to her with a small smile.

"I don't know..."

He yawns with a calm expression but it also looks like he's hiding something from her.

"Anyway...is there anything I can help with...like dinner?"

Yoichi asks while he looks around at the crowd.

Hisako looks at him confused when he says he doesn't know, but she notice his expression to understand that he was hiding something from her and she looks away.

"Nah. . . I can handle it. . . besides your my guest I couldn't let you help anyways. . . all I want you to do is relax and enjoy the food!"

She says with a grin before sticking her hand into the bags with fruits and vegetables and she pulls out an apple and hands it too him.

"Here! have one, there delicious!"

Yoichi looks down at the apple suprised but quickly takes the apple with a happy expression.

"Thanks!"

He takes a bite out the apple, chews and swallows.

"Your right they are delicious..."

Yoichi whispers when he looks back at her.

"Okay...then I'll just relax.
But if you need any help then just tell me later."

Hisako grins happily when he said they were delicious and she giggles.

"Course. . . who would lie about something like that?"

She asks confused but smiles at what he says next and nods happily.

"Fair enough. . . "

Hisako says before taking out an apple for herself and takes a bite out of it.

"mmm..... my grandma used to feed me tons of these. . . tey were my grand fathers favorite fruit. . . so she always had them in the house. . . that and strawberries. . . then grandpa would say grandma tasted like strawberries. . . but I never understood how he would know what grandma tasted like. . . "

She thought aloud before taking another bite.

Yoichi shrugs when she asks who would lie about the apples but smiles when she nods happily and he listens to what Hisako said and he chuckles.

"Haha well...maybe because they kissed and always eated their favorite fruit?
Like...if I kissed you now...your lips would taste like this apple right?"

He asks with a grin before he takes another bite out the apple.

"Right?"

Hisako looks up at him with a confused expression and shakes her head.

"Hmm.... I don't think it works like that but maybe. . . "

She says with a shrug before taking another bite of the apple.

"guess we'll never really know. . ."

Yoichi nods slightly before he takes another bite out the apple.

"Yea...I guess your right."

He slowly looks down in thought before he raises his eyebrow and turns back to her with a grin.

"Well there is a way...we both just took a bite out a apple...so why don't we give it a try?"

Yoichi looks away before he looks back at her while he tilts his head with a soft smile.

"Just kidding."

Hisako nods at what he says before taking another bite of the apple. But she starts coughing up the apple when he asks to give it a try and she forces it down before gasping for air and, she looks up at him with a bewildered expression.

"Are you nuts?we've only known each other for a few hours!"

She exclaims while a blush forms on her cheeks. But the blush gets brighter when he said he was just kidding and she looks away embarrassed.

"B-Baka! You sounded so serious about it! thats not something to joke about!"

Hisako shouts before looking around surprised to notice some passer by's were staring at them and she looks down even more embarrassed, while a hint of a hurt expression could be seen.

Yoichi chuckles when he still looks at her with the same expression when she yells at him but a suprised expression went across Yoichi's face when he sees that a hint of a hurt expression could be seen when she looked down embarrassed.

"Hey...I didn't...mean to....."

He looks at her with a sad expression.

"I'm sorry..I didn't want to hurt your feelings or anything like that.."

Yoichi takes another bite out the apple and swallows before a weak smile went across his face when he remembers Hisasko's reaction after she heard his question.

"...But that was kinda funny..."

He thought when he looks at her with the small smile.

"Are you alright?"

Hisako keeps her gaze at the ground but her eyes widen in surprise when she hears what he says and she just looks down embarrassed.

"S-Sorry. . . i didn't mean to show that. . ."

She says with a weak and apologetic smile before looking up at him in the corner of her eye. Another surprised expression crosses her face at his question and she nods with a confused expression.

"Yea I'm alright. . . why?"

Yoichi nods with a small smile but a happy expression went across Yoichi's face when he hears her question.

"Eh...no reason..."

He whispers softly before he raises his eyebrow.

"Anyway...so are we almost there?"

Yoichi asked after he looks around him.
