It was like something he'd never felt before, when she'd answered, saying that yes...she wanted him to be her boyfriend. It was like an energy within him had lit from within, lighting his eyes and setting him free, even if it was just one of many chains having been broken, a little bit more room to move, a little bit more room to feel. And the things he felt for Hikari, if not extremely deep just yet, were beginning to grow, his fears of attachment, at least to her, were falling away. And it felt...good. Really good. He smiles a small smile at her, his eyes twinkling lightly. "Well, alright then..." He murmurs, returning her soft squeeze with one of his own. He could feel the nudging of thoughts at his mind, about how this was a bad idea, about how he would regret what he had done, about how this wouldn't work out...it would all turn to a memory, something he couldn't return to. But for now, he shoves those thoughts away, ignoring the feeling that this was not his future. Something he usually never did, since he always acted on those things he knew accordingly. And yet, here he was, denying those sensations, just to please himself, despite the outcome he absolutely knew would come to be in the end of it all.<br/><br/>For a few moments they simply walked, hand in hand, silent, not saying anything. It was pleasant though, so there was no problem with it at all. After a bit though, they stop at a food stall, and seeing what was offered made him realize he hadn't eaten for a few days, in fact, the last thing he had to "eat" was that supplement pill that Shizune had given him. Hikari offered to get him something as a treat, and he nods. "Thanks." He steps up to the stall, ignoring, once again, the look he was given. Choosing something he could eat while walking, he accepts it when it was finished, and takes a bite as they turn to walk again.<br/><br/>To be honest, he was fine with just walking around and looking at the things there were to do around them, rather than doing them, but once more Hikari pulls him to the side, rather forcefully and with much eagerness from what he could tell by the way she almost literally dragged him along. Taking the owl and the rest of her food as it was handed to him, he watches quietly as she stepped up to one of the games, and from what he could see it was one of those strength testing games. The man who was running the game seemed skeptical as she picked up the mallet that went with the game, but Kuronotsurugi smirked, knowing she'd do fine. And, as the results showed, she did much better than fine. She did great, the ringing of the bell doing all the talking. He almost laughed at the expression on the man's face, he seemed shocked. Though why the guy was surprised was the question, since she was a Shinobi...then again, right then she was dressed like a regular civilian of Konoha.<br/><br/>He took his turn in being surprised next, when she turned to him, telling him to pick something. He points at himself, a slightly dim look on his face, something not often seen as an expression for him. He blinks, not quite sure what to say or do, but...he decided to humor her, and looks up at the prizes. Spotting a stuffed owl similar to the one she had gotten, but it was black with orange eyes. Pointing it out, he trades her items, turning the owl over in his hand, the softness of the plush pleasant against his skin. Just like it was nice to him, he wondered...that moment earlier, when she'd done something he'd never thought she'd do. Touched his horns, ran her fingers through his hair...touched his face...what did she think? Was it nice? From what he'd seen in her eyes as she'd done it...there was something he wasn't quite sure of. He'd seen the smile on her face when she'd done it, and in her eyes there wasn't anything negative. Just kindness.<br/><br/>He was snapped from his train of thought by her speaking, saying that there was somewhere she wanted to take him. Her timid voice had come in to play, and she was smiling, he could see hope in her eyes, along with a bit of excitement and happiness. He wondered where it was she wanted to take him, but he was okay with not knowing for once. Maybe this one time, he would be better off with a surprise. "Sure, where do you want to go?" He asks, offering her his hand, giving her the initiative to guide the way to wherever it was she wanted to go. At this point, even if it was through hell and back, he'd follow her wherever. Right now, he felt as if being by her side was his saving grace, as she was his light in the darkness. She was his sun, his daytime. Even as little time as he'd known her, it felt like he couldn't think of what life would be like without her.
