Kenji held her. He wasn't the type to take advantage of a woman. Especially not one who was a friend of his like she was. "Your birthday?" He said. "Happy birthday Yukiko." He said softly. He hadn't known it was her birthday...then she had only been in Yokohama for three days. Even if they had been an eventful three days. He looked down at her. "Yeah. For the football season. Come basketball season it'll be for basketball." He said softly. "I play sports and I'm really good at them or so other people say. I play because I enjoy them like you and Hoshi enjoy paranormal things." He explained.<br/><br/>He looked out at the waterfall for a moment. Not saying anything else until she spoke again. Blinking a bit. "I knew that." He said softly. "I never saw you as crazy to begin with. You and Hoshi love paranormal things...big deal. The only thing I didn't like at first was you trying to force it on me. Not that I mind your enthusiasm. You have great enthusiasm and its refreshing to see someone so spirited that is female about something other than makeup and boys." He kept looking at her. "I saw you as a very cute girl upon first seeing you walk into the class with the teacher. You are different from other girls but thats not a bad thing. Its refreshing to see a girl who doesn't care only about girly things. Who has a passion about something outside the norm."<br/><br/>He stopped speaking for a second. "I've noticed you as the cute and at times sexy girl that challenged me like no one else ever has. Who has spirit and spunk and a lot of go to it. Qualities I admire...like your ability to stay passionate about something even if nobody else agrees with you." He was smiling now and looked down at her more. "I like having met you. We got off to a rocky start but I still don't regret meeting you for one second. I'm happy I did. I haven't felt happy like this, on a real scale of state of happiness, before I met you. You are an amazing girl and any guy who doesn't see that there is more to you than your interest isn't worth your time Yukiko." He looked back at the waterfall.
