Kenji looked at her and shook his head. "Don't care what anyone else thinks. Me and Hoshi don't look at you weird so that should be all that really matters." He pointed out. "We aren't a gang then. Just a small group of friends...who won't ever judge or hate one another for any reason." He said with a smile. He had said that sixteen years ago was when the spike in paranormal activity in Yokohama occured. That is what the old lady at the factory had said. He wasn't sure what to believe on that matter. For now it wasn't important. All that was important was spending time with Yukiko for her birthday. Right now...that was all that mattered.<br/><br/>He looked at her. "She was doing most of the talking. She said she wasn't sure if she should be grateful or sitting us down with your dad for 'the talk'. She said she never could get you to listen or come out of the funk you were in when I found you. I didn't get much in otherwise except to say we didn't need the talk. We are just friends of the good nature at the moment." He smacked himself on the forehead again. "There I go with at the moment again. What the hell is my brain thinking?" He said more to himself then her. His cheeks actually got a faint tint of pink for a split second before he went back to normal hue. Again the smack to the forehead came close but missed the big bruise on his head. He looked at her seriously. "No. I would never do that to a friend. I would never do that to any girl. I'm not that kind of guy." He said seriously.<br/><br/>He watched her grab the bag once they were there. He looked around his secret place. This was only the second time he had brought someone to his secret place. Again another first because he had never brought someone at dusk going into night. It was a magical place and one he could fall asleep at with little help the later into the night it got. He had done so many times before. He watched her with the bag. Almost going to offer to help then thought better of it. He decided she would probably not wish his help carrying something as simple as a snack bag.<br/><br/>He watched her eyes go wide. Stretching as he looked around the surroundings. It was a beautiful scene...this place at sunset. The little lake the waterfall formed leading into the river was just as beautiful in the night sky. The moon reflecting on the waters would make it shimmer and ripple while the stars would reflect like tiny diamonds upon the surface of all the water. Mainly the very little lake that was more the size of a big pond and the river. He followed her over and dropped himself to the ground. Laying back on the grass beside her. Folding his hands together behind his head. Looking up at the darkening sky. "The moonlight, especially when it is full, is breath taking." He said softly. He looked to the waterfall. Should he tell her about the cave? Maybe later. Right now...right now it was just a peaceful place to end her birthday. He looked back to her then up at the sky. "I've fallen asleep here quite a few times. Got questioned the next day but the serenity of this place is...so peaceful. It is easy to fall asleep here. Especially at night when the owls start hooting and the crickets start singing." He spoke softly. "When all that is here besides them is the sounds the river and waterfall make."
