Chapter Forty:
Party Alone:
-Meifu-
April knocked on
Kyosuke’s door.
“Babe!” she
shouted. “Come on, let’s go.” She knocked again. This time, the door opened.
Kyosuke greeted. April had a confused look on her face.
“You’re wearing
that to the party?” she asked. Kyosuke looked down at his jeans and black shirt.
“Yeah,” he said.
“What’s wrong with it?”
“It’s well…
okay…” she said. Kyosuke frowned.
“It’s that’s
bad, huh?” he asked.
“No!” April
said. “It’s fine. Just come on.” She grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him
along.
“Whoa!” Kyosuke
shouted. They hurried out to the street.

April made a
cute cat with her costume. She was the one who invited him out. Kyosuke started
to blush.
“Thanks for
inviting me out,” he said.
“Come on,” April
said. “You don’t have to be so formal. We’re dating after all.”
“Oh, yeah,
yeah,” Kyosuke said. “Of course.” This felt new to him Kyosuke never had a
stable girlfriend before.
“So where are we
going?” he asked. April smiled.
“To a downtown
party,” she said. “Charlotte and Takashi will be there.”
“Ah,” Kyosuke
said. He has his eyes on her long black tail. His cheeks reddened.
So cute…
He cleared his throat.
“Where exactly
is the party?” the shinigami asked. April glanced over her shoulder.
“A small new
club that just opened up last week,” she said. “I think you’re going to like
it.”
“But I don’t
party much,” Kyosuke said.
“I know,” she
said. “That’s why this will be perfect.” The couple stopped at a cross light.
Kyosuke gulped.
“April-san?” he
asked. The kitty glanced over at him.
“Hm?” she asked.
He lowered his eyes and gulped.
“Can I… hold you
hand?” the shinigami asked. April smiled.
“Sure,” she
said.
“Thank you,” her
boyfriend said. He grabbed her hand. The warming sensation formed in his chest.
“I know what you
are thinking,” April said. Kyosuke about jumped.
“Why?” he asked.
She broke into laughter. Kyosuke’s face turned bright red.
“What?!” he
wailed. April didn’t stop laughing. The light changed to walk. Kyosuke lowered
his head. He felt her tagging him along.
“Come on,” she
said. “We have to get going.” Kyosuke didn’t get a chance to speak as they
disappeared into the crowd. His face turned bright red. April smiled to herself.
She still loved to mess with him.

Charlotte smiled
at herself in the mirror. She loved every detail of her pink fairy costume. The
woman turned when she heard a knock on her door.
“Ready to go?”
Takashi asked. She smiled as she opened her bedroom door. The blind angel stood
dressed in black. Charlotte smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
“Let’s go,” she
whispered. Charlotte took him by the arm and they headed out to the door.
The party just keeps on coming for Halloween.
