August 22nd: The Bon Festival

The afternoon is reaching the evening. I spent all afternoon in the inn preparing myself to be ready for one great event. Saki-chan was nice enough to help me to adjust my new yukata. She's a really good seamstress.

"Alright, there you go. Take a look." She said.

I look at the mirror, I whistled when I got impressed. The royal-blue and white yukata with ocean waves drawings on it, it really made feel like royalty.

"I feel like a prince, the Prince of the Pacific Ocean." I commented.

"I hope that does it. I better get myself going, my Toshi-kun is waiting for me." Saki said and left the room.

I'm so nervous, Kouya is coming to meet me up at the inn and then got to the shrine where the festival is held. This is the same feeling I have from my very first date. There were things I've learned so much from the past, maybe I have improved.

Outside the entrance, Toshi and Saki left, but I'm still with Torahiko and Hiroyuki, they were also on a date. The sun is setting.

"So... you're hanging out with Kouya?" Hiroyuki asked.

"Y-yeah... just hanging." I blushed and my hands holding behind my back.

Torahiko whispers to Hiroyuki, then he nods. I wonder what they're talking about. Is it about me and Kouya? I think so. Tora spoke.

"I hope you'll enjoy it, Kelly. This could be your best night you ever had." Tora winks at me. Then I see a figure. "Oh! He's here! Have fun!" Tora and Hiro left the inn's entrance quickly.

When I turned at the figure, I didn't expected this. Kouya is wearing a yukata, dark-blue colored. At first I didn't understand why in japan considers a yukata and/or kimono as sexy or attractive. When I think about it, Kouya does look stunning.

"G-Good evening, Kouya." I softly said. "You look nice." I smiled.

"Hey, that's my line, but, since you've said it. I'm gonna said: You look great today." He smoothly said.

"Thanks." I replied and look away while blushing and smiling. "Shall we go?"

"Come with we and I'll show you." He said.

While walking side by side. Kouya explains what will I expect at the festival. There will be food, candy, games, music, special traditional performances and fireworks. All that sounds really exciting! I feel like "tourist mode" had just been activated. Kouya will be my tour guide for the evening, and I'm ready.

When we got to the place... Wow! Cheery festival music plays somewhere. Dazzling lights illuminates from the lanterns. People are enjoying everywhere and children playing at the stalls. There were a lot of people what the village could not hold. Most of the people must be tourist from other towns. This was so exciting!

"Wow... this is grand, really grand!" I cried.

"You haven't seen more yet." Kouya said with his hands on his hips.

"I don't what to do first." I randomly said. There was so much to do here! There were a lot of stalls of different kinds of offerings.

"How about we grab a bite." Kouya said. Now that he said that, I'm kind of hungry. Kouya leads me to one of the stalls.

"What would you like to eat?" Kouya asks.

"Can... can you surprise me?" I said and Kouya thinks.

"Alright, I'll surprised you." He smiled and waited in line and I sit on a near bench. For a short while, Kouya comes back with two bowls on his hands. He gave one and I take a look at the bowl and I was already surprised.

"Takoyaki! It's been awhile since I ate one!" I cried.

"After watching your home video, you were eating some for the first time, and I thought this was a good choice." Kouya said.

"Thanks." He thinks of me. I take a bite and chew it and then swallow. "Oh man, I forgot how it tasted." During the first half of my original vacation, I've been exploring a lot of Japanese cuisine. I even tried the most bizarre dishes. Except blowfish...

After eating, Kouya and I went to play some of the games from the stalls, I'm gonna try one of those shooting games. Let's see if I can win a prize.

...Bang!... Bang!... Bang!...

"Darn it! I almost had it!" A familiar husky-boy curses.

"You lack of discipline, Masashi." A husky-girl said.

"Oh, shut it! I can do this. One more round!" Masashi paid the man on the stall and gave him another toy riffle.

"Good luck, Masa-chan." Yukiharu said.

"Hmph, I don't need luck." Masashi muttered.

...Bang!... Bang!... Bang!... Bing!

"We have a winner!" The man on the stall cried.

"Yeah! Masashi number one!"

"Here's your prize, kid." The man on the stall gave him a stuff animal.

"Oh... thanks... here Kimiko, you can have it."

"Aw, thanks." She cried, Masashi blushes.

"Yeah, whatever." He turns to us. "Oh, hey, Kouya-san."

"Hi, Masa-kun. Are you two on a date?" Kouya smirks at the two huskies.

"Not funny, Kouya." He growls.

"No, Yukiharu, Masashi and me are hanging out while Onii-chan and Saki-san are for themselves, we promised we will meet them at the time when the fireworks starts." Kimi-chan said.

"Well, have fun kids." I said.

"You look nice, Kelly-san." Kimi commented.

"Thank you." I said and the three already left to another stalls. "Let's play." I said, we were already in this stall.

...Bang!... Bang!... Bang!...

"Oh! I almost knocked it!" I tried to knock down one of the prizes. This is my third time... I suck!

"Sorry, kid, better luck next time." The man on the stall said.

"Must be your arm, Kelly." Kouya said. "I see you're not holding it firmly."

"Yeah, I've realized." I sighed. I thought I could.

"Let's try another game." Kouya said.

We went to the next stall, this game requires a good arm. Is this game that you throw a ball and knock a pile of bottles all stacked up in a triangle form. Kouya paid the red panda-man and holds three balls.

"Wanna try this game?"

"Kouya, I'm not left-handed." I said.

"Hmm, I thought you were. I have seen you eating with chopsticks with your left hand." Kouya assures.

"That's because I was forced to do everything with my left hand, Kouya. It was a headache." I explained.

"Huh... are still gonna try?" I know what happens when you use your non-dominant arm. Is a disaster.

"Well, I've been using my left for a while... I'll guess I could try, just one round." I said and pick one ball from Kouya. I'm not sure how to throw it, my left arm is on a weird position to launch it. I throw my first, then second, then third and... it didn't even reached it... awkward... still intact, all 6 bottles still standing.

"First time seeing someone doing it with the weak arm!" The red panda-man laughs. I feel embarrassed.

"Don't worry Kelly, I'll make it up to you." Kouya confidently said. He pays three more balls and throw the first one, then the second and finally the third. He knocks all three 6 piled bottles. I did not see that coming. But still, I'm impressed.

"Wow, we have a winner!" The red panda-man cried.

Kouya won a prize and gives it to me, is a small stuffed animal, a husky.

"Um, thanks... it's kinda cute." I smiled.

The next stalls were offering sweets, I could use some desserts after eating dinner. There were snow cones, big lollypops cotton candy, and... others.

"Is that chocolate-coated-bananas?" I asked.

"Yeah, you should try it."

"Okay."

"Two please." Kouya paid and gives me one.

I've seen these before but I've never got a chance to try it. I quickly took one bite to avoid any obscenities. This is really good! I have eaten sliced fruits with some chocolate dip on it. But I've never put something that stands out in front of me on a stick and coated in lustful chocolate that could give me all the ecstasy, elation, bliss, pleasure, and lust on my mouth and swallow it.

"Is good, huh?" Kouya said.

I waked up from my thoughts and replied to him. "Y-Yeah, is good!" With a smile. Then a thought came. "Didn't you said that they were going to have some special performances?" I asked.

"Yes, I think Tatsuki and Tappei's Taiko is coming up." Kouya said.

"Let's go then."

"I think the others are there." He said.

Walking along, we arrived to a quite of a crowd of people. But there's some familiar faces. Hiro, Tora, Toshi, and Saki.

"Kelly, Kouya, just in time for Tatsuki's Taiko." Hiro said.

"Glad we made it." I said.

"Kelly, how far are you enjoying this?" Tora asked.

"I'm having a blast, I really wish my family were here." I said. Originally, I was supposed to be on a Bon Festival in Tokyo, with Sylvia, Ashley and Ashton. But that never happened.

"Guys, the show's about to start." Toshi-san announced.

Two dragon-men stepped on the stage, in front them were their instruments, the two holding a pair of thick drum sticks. They stayed in silence until they lightly hit the drums rapidly until the sound got louder and heavy. An abrupt pause silences the stage. Then, a rhythmic sound of the drums mix up the ambiance.

"This is crazy!" I cried. The rhythms are so loud and motivating.

"They're really good, aren't they?" Kouya said.

"Yeah."

Their spectacular show, cheered everyone in the crowd. Tatsuki and Tappei are really hitting off. We applauded after they finished their show. The two dragons bow to the audience, and we continued clapping. This was so awesome!

"That was rad!" I said.

"Can wait for Shun-kun's ceremony." Hiroyuki said.

"What his talent?" I asked.

"He's the Miko, he'll do a traditional dance." Kouya explained.

"Oh! It's about to start!" Saki cried.

A familiar wolf-boy step on the stage with a big smile. Wearing a kimono. He's standing by himself and clasped his hands and started a prayer speech. After that, Shun-kun's gentle body moves as traditional music plays. I'm really learning something new every day of Japanese cultures and experience it at first hand, is great. Shun-kun finishes his ceremony and bows to the audience, and everyone applauded.

"That was beautiful." Saki cried. She's wearing a red velvet kimono with golden colored blossom drawings on it. She's also holding a traditional umbrella of the same color as her kimono. Her hair is all fixed up with a pair of luxurious chopsticks on the back of her hair. While Toshi-san is wearing a golden-white yukata with a rising sun on his back.

"Saki-chan, aren't we suppose to get Kimi-chan and Masashi-kun?" Toshi said.

"Oh yeah, we told them to meet us here before the fireworks." Saki said. "Torahiko-san, have you seen our siblings?"

"No, I haven't, Saki-chan."

"Hiroyuki?"

"No, Saki-chan." Hiro replies.

"Kouya? Kelly?" she continues.

"We did saw them with Yukiharu-kun at the game areas." Kouya said.

"Kimiko-chan did said to us they were coming to meet you two here." I said.

"Well, there you have it, nothing to worry about." Tora said.

"I hope, I can't stand leaving her too far away from me." Toshi said.

"Oh, there they are!" Hiro cried. We look where Hiro was pointing and see a little tanuki, two little huskies runs toward us.

"Haah... we made it!" Kimiko panted.

"Hah... haah... whew!" Masashi panted.

"No... no more... running... just walk... haah..." Yukiharu panted.

"Guys you made it!" Tora cried. "Did you kids got lost on the crowd?"

"Yeah, almost." Masashi said. "Good thing, Nee-chan's big umbrella help us to find you all." He smiled after catching his breath.

"Yeah, without her umbrella, we could have been lost." Yukiharu said.

"Oh, I'm glad that helped out." Saki said and spun her umbrella.

"Yukiharu-kun, where's Kounosuke?" Hiro asked.

"He's around, I thought he was with you guys by now." Yukiharu said.

"That's okay, you can hang out with us, Yukiharu." Hiro said and he thanked.

A high-pitched whistle rings my ears drums, all the sudden a loud explosive sound brightens where we are and colors changes. I turns around and see more stars exploding.

"Come on, guys, let's go." Hiro said. The others began to move ahead, but Kouya puts a hand on my shoulder, stopping me from going.

"What is it Kouya?"

"Let's go someplace else, Kelly." He said with a slight grin.

"Oh... alright then."

...

We left the festival. Kouya guides me to the bridge, we had a nice view from here. We were standing the middle, and under us, is the river slowly flowing. There was a full moon tonight. The lights from the temple or the shrine can be seen and fireworks continuously pops the dark-blue sky. Kouya and I watch the event all by ourselves.

"What a beautiful sight." I said. "Is like the New Year's Eve."

"Personally, this never gets old." Kouya said. "It'll always be special every year."

"This one is been special to me."

"Really?" I turned to Kouya to my right. Let me see what... I... can say.

I feel this is a good time to say something.

"Kouya, I really appreciate for inviting me here tonight. You really made me feel more welcomed than being stranded here. Thank you." I said with a slight smile.

Kouya smiles, "No problem, Kelly. I thought this is what you needed. I... really didn't... want you to be all alone tonight." That's thoughtful of him. After he said that, a short silence, he gently holds my right hand that's resting on the railing of the bridge. Kouya's left hand is so warm, my heart is pounding from normal. I really let out a blush.

I look at him. "Kouya... I... I wanna say some-" Kouya steps closer to me.

"Shh," Kouya presses his right index finger on my lips. "Don't say a word, Kelly." He softly said. He looks at me in the eye. His eyes are glowing by the full moon. With the same hand, he caresses my left cheek. It felt really warm before my skin adjusted the temperature. Kouya, who is slightly taller than me, his eyes are getting closer without looking anywhere, but me.

"Kouya..." I whispered, but ran out of words.

"Your eyes are so beautiful." He softly said. I felt I was hypnotized. My eyes slowly narrows, looking directly at him. I slowly closed my eyes as we approach. First; I felt the tip of my nose touching his nose. Then I adjusted a little to get it right. Finally, Kouya's warms lips presses mine. It feels so different, out of the ordinary. My hands rest on Kouya's shoulders. His hands, one on my cheek and one on my right shoulder. One of my hands reached down to his chest and feel his rapid thumping. Kouya didn't mind at all as the two of us enjoyed this passion together as the night shines above us by the moonlight.

...

My right hand feels better when Kouya holds it gently as we walk together to the inn. Once again we were outside the entrance.

"Thanks for this wonderful night, Kouya." I said. Kouya again steps in and kisses my forehead.

"Good night, Kelly. Take care." He said with a smooth smile.

"I will." I said and smiled and open the door and enter inside after having one last glance at him.

I feel all sparked up! I'm so alive! This is the best night of my life that I'll never forget. Ever!

Trying to relax, I went upstairs to the second floor, walk through the hallway and arrive the door. I fetch my keys but... only to realize that is already opened. I could have sworn I've locked it. Is Toshi-san still fixing up my room a little? It's 11:30 of the night he already done that. I open the door, the room is dark, and I hear some strange noises. I switch the lights on and look at the bed...

"AAAAAHHH! OH, MY GOSH!" I screamed.

"Huh?" Two confused heads looked at each other and then look at me... "AAAAHHHHH!" They shockingly said.

Torahiko and Hiroyuki are on my bed, wearing nothing on their bodies, all their clothes are everywhere on the floor. The two quickly pick the bed blankets to cover their privates.

"OH, MY PACIFIC OCEAN! What the hell are you guys doing in my room!?" I shouted outta my mind.

"This your room!?" Hiro cried. He turns to Tora. "Tora, you said no one rents this room!"

"I did! I didn't know Kelly was staying in this room!"

"You're the one who gave the key on the first day, how could you have forgotten where I am staying?" I cried. Torahiko gave me a nervous smile. "How did you get access? I'm the only one with the key." I cried.

"Ah... I kinda used the master key." Tora said, still with a nervous smile.

"I think we should go." Hiro said.

"Yeah, good idea." I said and cover myself from them, they're still naked. Tora and Hiro quickly pick up their clothes and left the room.

"Sorry for the inconveniences." Tora stick his head out from the door with a nervous smile and blush.

"Never mind, just go!" I cried and Tora closed the door.

The bed already suffered the damage. I better ask the staff to clean it up or replace it. Because I'm not sleeping on dirty sex bed odors! This is worse than I've accidentally caught my parents doing it when I asked them for a glass of water when I was seven.

"Haah... I better call Toshi-san for some new beds." I sighed.

After removing the bed's clothes, something caught my attention.

"What's this?"

A small portable table is placed near the bed. It's holding a bucket filled with ice, and in it, two bottles of ramune. There's a note written on it. I pick it up and read.

"This one on the house. I hope you two get along well. Sincerely, Toshi." I read it aloud.

Well, that's nice of him. I feel like it didn't go as planned. Because there's a condom behind the letter. Good thing I didn't brought him over.

*yawn*... what a night...
