Returning a weapon isn't easy (V, closed)

[nshansen]

"Trust me...this time I feel 100% NOT uncomfortable!"

"Thank god," Shiro thought. He wanted to take her on a date before they left, and he was glad she wasn't uncomfortable.

Watermellon smashing??? They smashed watermellons sometimes...? It sounded like an odd event. "No. I never really heard of it. Why, would you like to start this evening off there?" he asked with a smile, yet confused tone.

[ayama]

V'a eyes went wide, "never heard of watermelon smashing?" she said surprised. "Well we have to now!"

She laughed, and letting go of his hand she ran to the door. "Let's go! I'm sure you'll enjoy it, it's really fun!"

She ran back towards him, and jumping like an excited child added, " Come on!" V then smiled so was so excited, it had been awhile since she had felt this way.

She felt like a real person standing before Shiro, for some reason he just brought her feelings to life. She took his hand, and waiting for his reply stood their quietly.

[nshansen]

V seemed shock when he told her that he had never heard of watermelon smashing. She then started to act like an excited child, which made him laugh. She must really love smashing fruit. Honestly, he thought it would be a waste of good fruit, but he knew he should never judge it before he tried it.

He sighed and smiled, looking at the beautiful V. He let out a small laugh and replied, "Yes, we can go, my love." Wait. What did he just call her? He didn't plan on saying that, it just slipped out of his mouth. Well, he hoped she didn't mind being called that. He didn't want to say or do anything that would make her uncomfortable. She fell in love with him today. He fell in love with her a month ago. He then led her to the door and opened it for her, waiting for her to exit his house and show her the way.

[ayama]

Excited, V automatically exited Shiro's house once he opened the door. She looked behind and shouted towards him.

"Well!? What are we waiting for? The watermelon isn't gonna smash it's self!"

She laughed, then went into a dash forward. But then came to a complete stop once she was a couple feet away.

"Wait..." she thought confused, she looked around and seeing how she didn't know where she was, ran back to Shiro's side.

"I forgot!" she said embarrased, "I don't know my way around this city... hee hee, you can lead the way." She let out another laugh, and looking up at Shiro, waited for him to make a move.

[nshansen]

Shiro laughed at V's reply. Good, she didn't mind being called that. First, he thought there was going to be a huge akward silence. Thank god that didn't happen. Though, he didn't know if she was listening or not when he said that. She might've just been thinking of watermellon smashing and only heard the word "yes", since she she seemed so excited about it.

"Well, I wish I could help, but..." he replied to her. "I don't know where watermellon smashing is...? I know where the market is, if thats what your asking. I know theres watermellons is, just not where you smash them..."

[ayama]

V laughed, "Silly! There's not a certain place for watermelon smashing!"

She took his hand, "Dont worry! I'll show you what to do after we buy the watermelon. So show the way, oh wise one. To the grocery store we go!!!"

[nshansen]

He laughed at her comment. Then, without thinking, he started to lead her to the market. Watermellon smashing... What a weird thing to do.

When Shiro and V finally reached the market, he took out his large amount of munny from his backpack and bought one watermellon. He, sadly, couldn't hold her hand anymore, since he had to carry the huge watermellon back to his house. Maybe he should've gotten the smaller one.

When they got back, his arms were sore. Now he had to smash the watermellon? No, he would let V do it first. Wait, if the two of them both smashed a watermellon, then wouldn't they need two watermellons...? Damn't. He then remembered his arms, so maybe... His mistake wasn't so bad after all. He then looked at his love with a smile on his face, "Okay, V. So we got the watermellon, what do we need to do?"

(If you really want to see Shiro smash a watermellon, tell me, then I'll modify the post)

[ayama]

(Shiro will be the one smashing the watermelon)

V laughed, she got out a bandana from her pocket and standing on her tippy toes tied around Shiro's eyes. "Alrighty! Let's start shall we?"

She took the watermelon from his hands, and placing it about a foot in from of him smiled. "Now all we need is a bat...."

She looked around, "hmmm..." she hummed, suddenly something caught the corner of her eye. She turned to see what it was, and found an old steel bat.

"Ah!" she shouted happily, "Stay right where you are." she told Shiro, and running towards the bat picked it up and brought it back.

"Its a little bent..." she said, "But it will do."

She placed the bat in Shiro's hands. "Alright...the watermelon is exactly 1 foot infront of you...see if you can smash it."

[nshansen]

(Steel old bat at his house? Hmm... I guess I can explain that in this.)

Shiro smiled as she tied the bandana around his eyes. Though, it was odd how she had it in her pocket. He listened to her as she talked, and waited for her to get something. When she came back, she put something in his hands. The way she described it, and the way it felt like, it sounded like his old bat. He had to use something to practice his fighting when he didn't have a sword.

He listened to V as she told him where it was. That was it? 1 foot? He could easily smash it, but then the whole thing would be over. Well, he could atleast make this event longer... An idea popped in his head. Well, now since they were kind of a couple...

"How about a kiss for good luck?" he asked V with a smile and then a laugh.

[ayama]

V laughed at Shiro's comment, she sighed sarcastically. "Well if I must!"

She let out another short laugh, then leaning towards him, she kissed him on the lips. "Alrighty then!" she shouted happily, breaking away. "Lets start!"

(Sorty if it's short, didn't know what else to say)

[nshansen]

Now with V's luck, he could now swing. Wait... Unless there was something else he could do to make this last longer... He decided not to think about, since he didn't really want to make this watermellon smashing event too long. So, he thought about where it could be, then thought about how to swing, and then... BOOM!!! The watermellon was smashed. Again, didn't mean to brag, but perfect aim.

He then, with one hand, took off his blind folds and looked at V. He smiled and asked her, "Did I do it right?"

[ayama]

V clapped as Shiro perfectly smashed the watermelon in two.

"Dis I do it right?" he asked her, taking the blindfold off.

V nodded her head, "Perfectly!" she said excited. "Now let's see how your year will be this year!"
She took his hand, "Look at the smashed bits of the watermelon..." she said in a calming tone, "What do you see?"

V alwaysed loved this part, it's what made watermelon smashing so much fun!

[nshansen]

How his year would be...? He listened to V speak. Look at the watermellon...? Umm... And odd request... But he guessed it would be okay. He looked down at the smashed watermellon. He looked back at V and told her, "V... Um... I don't see anything but a watermellon...."

(Sorry for the short post)

[ayama]

V smiled, "Awww come on Shiro! You gotta think outside of the box." she looked up at him, and seeing the questionable look on his face laughed.

"Alright, how about I look for you." She looked at the watermelon pieces. "Hmmm..." she hummed, "Well I see..." she said crouching down.

"A sword." she pointed at the pieces that were shaped sort of like a weapon, "I guess you'll have a lot of battles...and I see..oh! I see a smiley face!"

Again she pointed at some pieces that looked like a face smiling. "that means you'll have full enjoyment, and be happy. And....I see..."

She examined all the pieces, and pointing at a shape in the middle she said softly. "A heart...." She picked the piece up, and showing it to him she said. "And this means you will find love." she let out a small laugh, and placing it in his hand, smiled up at him.

[nshansen]

(Placing his hand where?)

He smiled as she pointed out that he would have alot of battles. Well, he knew his life wouldn't be that perfect. She looked down again and told him that she saw a smiley face. He let out a small laugh and smile when she told him that he would be happy. Good. He liked knowing that he would be happy.

He then listened to what she saw next. She took a piece and showed it to him. It did look like a heart. He smiled at her as she told him that he would find love. He blushed a little, "Find it? V, I can tell you that I already found it," he told her as he looked her in the eyes. It was weird... It was weird that a watermellon could show that much.
