Airi was 15 years old and Yosho 12. As you may know, girls age much faster in their early years than boy and the both of them like looked sister and brother.
'Ok. Lets go!' studying a schedule paper which Yosho made.
Airi went on and on with no problem at all showing him around. There was another reason that he planed his date of course. Since he arrived at the academy, he found that several spies were chasing him. During the date, he attempted to find them by using Funaho scanning from above. He knew that it will be difficult for him to find all of them in one day but he made up a schedule which would take several days to clear. However, Airi was going on in a tremendous pace, which made him worried. If she finished all the courses in one day, his plan would have been meaningless.
'Er--, next will be-. Yes, lets go to this one! How about it?' not knowing of Yosho's plan, Airi grabbed his had and moved on.
'Oh please Mis.. Airi. We don't be in such a hurry.'
'Oh what are you doing! Keep moving We can't finish all, today if you keep being so slow!'
'We don't have to get it done in one day.' Yosho tried to explain but she never lost her pace. 'Ok, next, next, and next!'
Yosho suspected that she might have known about his plan and was purposely doing this. But watching her bright smile, he threw away that idea, her smile was so great. On the other hand he felt guilty for what he was trying to do.
After all, they accomplished the date by that evening.
'Poof.'
Ending in the park where they first started that day, Airi laid on the lawn she was out of breath.
'Are you all right?' Yosho gave her wind with his fan and asked her.
'Yo-Yosho.'
'You look - foo- all right.'
Still breathing heavily, Airi looked at him a bit mortified at it and tried to wake up.
'It is best to rest a bit more.'
'It's so hot!' she crawled inside the shadow of the tree.
'Give me more wind!'
'Yes.'
Lying again on the lawn, Airi ordered him to wave. Having the wind and the sunshine though the leaves she murmured.
'You think I'm a good old lady, don't you?'
'..huh?'
'It's ok. After all I'm older than you by 3 years and 4 months. No wonder you think so about me.'
Just before she was angry and now she was dwarfness.
'I didn't say such a thing.'
'But you think so inside, don't you?'
'Of course not,' said Yosho calmly and gently.
People like her often looked for someone and play with it till they were satisfied. All you would have to do is to patiently hang out with her until she was done.
'It's no wonder you are so tired, running all about like that.'
'Then why are you all right? You haven't even lost your breath.'
'I am trained.'
Listening to Yosho's words, anger disappeared from Airi's eyes. She then looked at him in silence.
'Oh, show a bitter face, at least just a bit, you look like you know every thing. you fool`' gently nipping Yosho's cheek Airi smiled sadly. She understood well what kind of world this 12 years old boy has living in and the way he acted seemed very aching to her.
'Poor Yosho.'
He couldn't say anything to her and he had to let her do what she wanted. He didn't think that the word 'poor' applied to him. He was the prince of Jurai. Of course there was conflict with his mother and others but, he wanted to protect her from it.
Does that mean poor?
Watching him think such thing, Airi suddenly woke up.
'Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. LAUGH!!!' she stroke his head.
'Cry!!' screaming she tickled all over him.
'Get angry, you shit! Ahhh!!' crying out she grappled him. What she was saying and was doing was absolutely opposite. Those who were watching odd and noisy Airi just gave them a word, like.
'Ah. Airi is doing it again.'
;Who is the poor guy this time?'
'Oh my, Airi, you are always noisy.'
Those words Yosho could hear. It seems that acting like this was a popular thing for them.
'You are only 12 years old! So just show your emotions like a boy, get iiiiiiiiit!?'
Next skill was the "cobra twist". All of these things were unrelenting.
'Every one is watching! Please stop it. It's indecorous.' Yosho whispered in pain.
He could easily get out of it with a bit of his strength without hurting her, but he didn't accept to because he somewhat understood Airi's feeling.
'Nuts. Say something, at least yelp a bit.' Puffing her cheeks out crossly, as Airi sat down beside Yosho.
'I cannot yelp in front of everyone.'
'Ok then that's that. - Say, why?' pointing at Yosho's legs she asked why Yosho was sitting in a way called 'Seiza'*.
'In these cases, I have to wait till the senior accepts it.'
Hearing this, Airi straightened her skirt.
'Oh, siting with you, it's me who looks embarrassing.
'Huh? I am sorry but I could not hear you. Would you mind saying again please?'
'Oh. No, nothing. It's my story.'
'Oh. I see.'
'Yeah.'
Then suddenly the conversation paused. Silence went on and then bell rang telling them that it was 5 o'clock.
'He-Hei. If you have nothing to do right now, how about having something to eat?' some time to talk, Airi asked him in relief.
'Then let go to the restaurant we just visited.'
'I know a nice place around here. You can go to the expensive ones when you want to impress your girl friend.
after her rest, Airi recovered and yanked Yosho before when she gave him the tour.
'Mis. Airi. You do not have to hurry.'
The more Yosho called for her, the fast she ran, they ran and threaded through the crowd.

* SEIZA: An official and polite way of sitting used in Asia. You fold your knees and sit on your leg nice and neat. It hurts until you get use to it. (^-^)
