We Meet Again




Cye headed out for the beach the next day for some surfing time. He would have brought Kento along, but he knew that if he did, Kento would just start bugging him about Hana. It was best to leave him behind with the other guys. The beach wasn’t as packed as it was yesterday, but there were still a lot of people. Cye carried his surf board down to the ocean; to an area where four little kids were playing in the wet sand. The four kids stopped what they were doing and watched as Cye walked passed. Cye rested his board against the water and got on flat on his stomach. He paddled his way out to the deep water and waited for waves to form.

If Cye didn’t have any responsibilities, he would come to the ocean every day. Just being by the cool water and listening to the gentle sounds the waves made—it seemed that all his worries just washed away with the tide. It didn’t take long before Cye was on his feet, riding a wave that was heading for shore. Cye steered his board away from the collapsing wave and back onto shore. As Cye stepped onto the damp sand, he heard someone calling his name. He looked to his right and saw a girl running toward him. His eyes opened wide in shock at who it was.

“Hey Cye!” Hana cried, waving her hand in the air. She was wearing a pink bikini that showed off her figure and her hair was up in a ponytail again. She stopped in front of him, panting.

“Hi Hana,” Cye said, watching her as she caught her breath.

“I saw you surfing out there. You’re really good.”

“I’m not that good.” Cye blushed and turned his head to the ocean.

“You are just being modest. I’ve been here lots of times and I’ve never seen anyone who can take on waves like you can.”

Cye chuckled softly and turned to face her. She had a big smile on her face and her eyes seemed to sparkle just like the ocean did when the sun hits it. She was very pretty and maybe Kento was right about liking someone at first sight— like he would know anything about relationships. It was hard to tell at this point though.

“How about you? Do you surf?” Cye asked.

“Nah. No one’s willing to teach me,” Hana said, the smile fading into a frown.

“I can teach you.”

“You can?”

“Sure. I can do it right now, if you want.”

The frown on her face turned back into a smile as she jumped in place.

“Oh thank you, Cye!”

“No problem. We’ll start with the basics and go from there.”

Hana nodded and followed Cye to a less crowded area.

“I am so bored,” Kento groaned as he flung himself onto the couch.

“I’m sure there’s something for you to do,” Rowen said. He was sitting in one of the armchairs with his nose in a book.

“Well, I ate lunch, had a snack, made another sandwich, had a bag of chips. That’s all I could think of.”

Rowen didn’t answer or give him a look. Kento was known to eat a lot when he was bored; not to mention complain the entire time.

“I’ll go see what Ryo and Sage are up to,” Kento said and got off the couch.

Kento walked outside into the front yard where he saw Ryo kicking around a soccer ball with White Blaze hot on his tail. Mia was sitting on a blanket on the grass, watching them play. Sage wasn’t anywhere to be seen, so he decided to spend some time with Mia on the lawn.

“Hey, what’s up Mia?” Kento asked cheerfully.

“Oh, nothing. Just watching Ryo and White Blaze play with the soccer ball,” Mia said, looking up at Kento with a smile.

“Cool. Care if I join you?”

“Not at all.” Mia scooted over, giving Kento some room on the blanket. Kento sat down next to her, giving out a big yawn as he did so.

“Busy day?” Mia asked with a smile.

“Oh yeah. Real busy,” Kento said sarcastically.

“Whatever happened with going surfing with Cye?”

“Eh. He said that it was best if he went alone this time. I don’t see why he couldn’t take me along.”

“Well, you did bug him about that girl Hana for the rest of the day yesterday.”

“I guess I did, didn’t I?”

Mia simply nodded and went back to watch Ryo as he chased White Blaze around.

Hana was having trouble staying on the board. With a loud splash, she fell back into the water. She got up and rubbed her bottom with a pout on her face. It had been an hour and it seemed that all she was capable of doing was doing flips back into the water. She was sure she felt a bruise forming on one of her legs.

“This is starting to get annoying,” she said with a hint of irritation in her voice.

“You are doing great,” Cye said.

“I am? How can I be? All I’ve been doing is falling back into the water.”

Cye smiled and rested a hand on her shoulder. “No one gets it on the first go. You are doing well for a beginner. Don’t put yourself down like that.”

“I guess I can give it another go.”

“That’s the spirit!”

Hana smiled as she got back on the board. She paddled further away from where she was and waited. Cye just watched patiently for the next wave to arrive. A rumbling like sound came from behind her. Cye watched as Hana got herself ready as the wave came in. This time Hana was riding the surf board with the wave behind her. Cye clapped as she made her way back to him. The wave crashed back into the water, leaving behind mini waves.

“I did it!” Hana said excitedly.

“You did very well,” Cye said.

“Thank you for teaching me.” Hana ran up to him and gave him a hug; catching him off guard.

Cye stood in place and carefully wrapped his arms around her. He could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks. He turned his head to the side, in hopes that she wouldn’t notice. She pulled away and smiled at him.

“You’re a great teacher,” Hana said. “I feel like a pro now.”

“Just keep practicing and I’m sure you will be one.” Cye said, still trying to hide his face from her.

“You okay, Cye?”

“What? Oh, yes.”

Hana tilted her head to the side. “You seem red in the face.”

Cye snapped his head forward and stared at her. “I-It must be the sun.”

Hana giggled and checked her watch. “It’s getting late.”

“I guess it is,” Cye also checked his watch. “Mia should be making dinner right now.”

“Time goes by quick, doesn’t it?”

“You got that right. But hey, how about we meet again tomorrow?”

“What?”

“Yeah, but not here. I know a great place where we can get sundaes.”

“Like a date?”

“Yeah. I guess you can call it that if you want to. So how about it?”

“O-okay.”

“Great! It’s called the Yuki Ice Cream Parlor. It’s by where all the main restaurants are in Tokyo”

“Oh. I know where that is.”

“Great. So, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

“Bye Cye!” Hana yelled as she ran the opposite direction.

Cye waved and got his board from the water. This was going to be Cye’s first date with a girl. With being a Ronin Warrior and all— time for girls and stuff that boys usually did— it was hard for him. In his grade school life, he had a lot of crushes and a lot of girls crushed on him, but he was afraid of them getting hurt. For some reason though, Hana seemed different. He headed back to his car and drove home.
