I'm going to warn everybody in advance. In this chapter, Aishiteru shows off her girly side, so brace yourself. Don't worry. As soon as this chapter is over, she'll be back to her old and tough self.

Chapter Six
Aishiteru's New Crush

"I love your silky hair. The orange looks so exotic," Chie complimented her best friend. "Well, I'd kill for your bright blue eyes," Aishiteru replied. Chie continued to ramble on about Aishiteru's beautiful features, but Aishiteru was too preoccupied to notice. Her mind was full of other matters.
"What's up? You don't seem to be paying much attention to me," Chie stated. "Well..." Aishiteru hesitated. "Come on. You can tell me! I promise I won't tell," Chie coaxes. "Like last time?" Aishiteru asked. "Well, only half of the school found out," Chie told her. "Fine. I've been thinking about Skye-kun," Aishiteru admitted. "He's cute!" Chie exclaimed. "And mysterious and strong. In other words, he's hot!" "I know," Aishiteru agreed. "I just don't know how to tell him. I'm not that great around guys." "You have bunches of guy friends," Chie protested. "They're all friends though. I'm starting to see Skye-kun as someone I like more than a friend," Aishiteru informed. Chie gasped and began to gossip and chatter about her and her many boyfriends and how they could double-date and such. Aishiteru barely listened for she was still thinking of Skye.

The next day, Aishiteru senses a demon. "Here we go again," Aishiteru stated as she pulled out the AniCom. She began to then chase after the signal. Soon, she reaches an alley. Inside, she finds Skye and a demon. It charges at him and takes him by surprise. It knocks Skye down. It is about to use its claws when Aishiteru uses her Wind Torrent. It blows the demon off of Skye. It then turned and spotted her. It began to lung at her, but before it can reach her, Skye used his naginata and struck down the demon. It fell to the floor and Aishiteru sealed it away.
"Thank you for your help," Skye told her. She smiled at him as he turned to leave. "Wait!" Aishiteru called after him. He turned. "You don't seem to be from around here," Aishiteru remarked. "No. I came from a city in Europe. I was born here, but haven't been since I was a child. Yes, I didn't live in the woods or something, but I was more thinking of my training than all of the recreational luxuries. I'm not really used to the big city life here," Skye explained. "Would you like me to show you around the big city?" Aishiteru asked. "It would be fun and you would learn more about your new home." "I guess..." Skye agreed. Aishiteru smiled. She brought him back into the city and she began the tour. They went everywhere that Aishiteru could think of. Along the way, they had a lot of fun. When it was getting late, they decided to eat. They went to MacRonald's. Skye wasn't used to the fries and hamburgers they served and Aishiteru laughed at this. Fast food was unhealthy for training. It seemed that she ate fast food almost everyday. Afterwards, Skye walked her home.
"Well, see you later?" Aishiteru asked. "I guess," he replied. He turned and left. Aishiteru smiled. She hurried up to her room, running right past her little brother and mother who were seated in the living room. As soon as she reached her room, she squealed with delight. "I've never been so girly around a guy before. I've never felt like this about a guy either. Not even around Yoji-kun," Aishiteru stated, confused. She shrugged.
For the rest of the evening, Aishiteru was in a daze.

The next afternoon, Tai and Aishiteru were trekking down the street after slaying 3 small demons. "I'm hungry. MacRonald's?" Aishiteru asked. "Sure," Skye shrugged. Aishiteru led him to the restaurant and they took their seats at a booth.
"It seems that we haven't hung out in a long time," Tai stated. "Have we ever hung out before?" Aishiteru questioned. Tai began to think. "I guess not," Tai remembered with a smile.
"This is the same booth Skye-kun and I sat at yesterday," Aishiteru mumbled. "What did you say?" Tai demanded. "You and Skye-san were here yesterday?" "Yeah. So what?" Aishiteru asked. "That Skye is bad news. I don't want you hanging out with him," Tai ordered. "Who do you think you are?" Aishiteru quizzed. "You shouldn't be getting mad! You can't tell me who not to hang out with!" She didn't even wait for his reply. She snatched her stuff, jumped up, and stormed away. She expected Tai to follow or at least call after her, but he doesn't.
Soon, she reaches her home. At her fast and angry pace, it only took her a little while. She didn't know who to vent to. She knew Chie was out. Her friend had only been bragging to Aishiteru about her date with Kito Mosinigi for a week. The only other person Aishiteru could think of was Skye. He had given her his number for in the event that she found a demon she needed help fighting. Even though that wasn't the case, she called him anyway. After 3 rings, he answered. Just the sound of his voice helped calm Aishiteru down.
"Hi. It's me," Aishiteru greeted. "Oh. What? Is there a demon?" Skye demanded. 'I feel stupid coming to him with my problems. Maybe I should just talk to him about something else?' Aishiteru thought.
"So, before you said about defeating the leader demon. What does that mean?" Aishiteru questioned. "Well, demons are stupid. They don't have enough brain power to live on their own without any direction. There has to be a leader demon that is telling them all what to do. If we find that demon, then the others will be lost and defenseless. They'll be sitting ducks; easy prey. Even if we don't get them all, they won't wreak havoc if no one's telling them to," Skye explained. "Oh, now it makes sense," Aishiteru responded. She let out a long sigh, still thinking of her argument with Tai.
"What's wrong?" Skye asked. To Aishiteru's shock, he seemed a little worried. "Oh nothing. I just got into an argument and I can't take my mind off of it," Aishiteru informed. She thought it would be best not to mention who the argument was with. He hated Tai and Tai hated him.
"I have an idea. Let's go see a movie. My few friends from my old home used to go to them all the time. I never went because I was too busy. It might help you forget about this problem," Skye suggested. "I'd be glad!" Aishiteru retorted. "You know where the theater is?" "We walked past it on our tour, didn't we?" Skye answered. "I guess so. Well, I'm going to get ready and then get going, alright? Bye!" Aishiteru exclaimed. "Hm," was his reply as he hung up his receiver.
Aishiteru put down her phone. As soon as she did, she did a little happy dance. Unlike her best friend, she had never been into the dating scene. This was actually her first date. 'I know that Skye-kun probably won't see this as a date, but I can't help it,' Aishiteru thought. She put on one of her only skirts. The light, soft brown matched with her eyes. Then, she put on a green blouse. She didn't have that much clothes that seemed suitable for a date, so these would have to do.
Aishiteru snatched her purse and hurried downstairs. She hoped she could sneak past her little brother. He would probably laugh at her. She rarely ever wore skirts. The only time were when her mother forced her to. She was heading out the door, when she heard a chuckle.
"Teru-onee-sama is wearing a skirt!" her little brother, Kero laughed. Aishiteru was about to put him a headlock when her mother appeared. "Where are you going?" her mother asked. "To hang out with one of my friends," Aishiteru replied. "Is it the same friend who walked you home yesterday?" Aishiteru's mom questioned with a grin. Aishiteru rolled her eyes and nodded. "You're going out with a boy?" her mom demanded. "I'm so happy!" Aishiteru sighed and began to leave. "Teru and a boy!" her brother yelled. Aishiteru rolled her eyes at his ignorance before exiting the house.
