Harumi's eyebrow raised at the mention of a nickname, but otherwise she stayed silent as he explained the situation.<br/>"I've never seen anyone who's able to break her out of that mood before, but if you say so, I'll just have to take your word for it." She looked up the stairs to Yukiko's room for a moment.<br/>"She seems happy. I may not know you very well, Kenji, but something tells me you're a good kid. Do me a favor.. Take good care of her," she responded with a gentle smile, walking away before the boy had time to respond.<br/><br/>A few minutes later, Yukiko finally walked out of her room. Gone was the lazily chosen outfit she had worn earlier, replaced by a lavender halter top tied to her neck just under a black choker, along with a pair of white form-fitting jeans and black flip-flops. Her hair was no longer tied into a messy ponytail; it had clearly been washed and brushed out, and now hung naturally down to just above her shoulders, still looking slightly damp.<br/>"Hey. Sorry that took so long," she said as she walked down the stairs to meet Kenji. "I wanted to do something more with my hair, but I figured I shouldn't keep you waiting too long. I needed a shower though; I hope you weren't too bored."<br/><br/>Once she was standing in front of him again, she giggled a little bit; "Too much?" she asked, twirling around and showing off the outfit. As was expected from a halter top, a large amount of her back was showing, although it wasn't particularly low cut so her front was well covered. "If you want, we can just leave the car here and start walking. You can come pick it up again later.. besides, you wouldn't let a girl walk home by herself, would you?" she said with a wink as she walked over to the door, already knowing what answer his chivalrous nature would lead him to.
