Beautiful Arrival [Kiba/Natsumi]

[Marilen Yoshida]

"I'm talking about dinner," she said, "What are you talking about?" she questioned Natsumi.

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Her eyes narrowed at Marilen, "Dinner as well." she said, then muttered under her breath when she didn't think Kiriha or Marilen would hear, "Kiri-kun you have some strange friends." she said in a very soft tone to herself.

[Marilen Yoshida]

Marilen raised an eyebrow when she heard what Natsumi said. She looked at Kiriha, "So, "Kiri-Kun", can I come with you?" she smiled, attempting to mock Natsumi's choice of words and use it for her own gain.

"Fine," he said, "Join us for dinner, I'd love to have you come with us for that."

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Little did Marilen know that she was being watched from behind the mirrors...the two watchers would have had frowns if they could make facial expressions...but Natsumi just shook her head and went on ahead towards the restaurant, ostensibly to find seating.

Kiba had heard what Natsumi said, and Marilen's responce to it... "You know that human likes him...and was jealous." "Yes, I know Horse....but this woman seems a little too conveniently placed." But, Kiba kept pace with them, amid the mental deliberation in his mind.

[Marilen Yoshida]

Marilen followed her, with Kiriha and Kiba behind her. She walked faster to catch up to Natsumi, "Is something wrong?" she asked, "You're moving fairly fast."

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

"I just went ahead to find seating so you could reunite with your friend." Natsumi said, but the jealousy remained in her

Kiba takes in a good view of Marilen, "Well maybe she's not completely bad." "And what do you base that on?" "True enough, that's my human side coming into play." he thought back before whispering to Kiriha, "I get the feeling something's going on up there." he said indicating the girls quietly.

[Marilen Yoshida]

Kiriha shrugged, "I've known Marilen a long time, nothing's going to happen...I hope."

"My friend?" she smiled, "I like your choice of words there. You have any others you want to suggest?"

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Natsumi looked at her for a moment, "Are there any others I should know about to suggest?" she said

Kiba shrugged a bit, "You know Natsumi-san is jealous, right?" he whispered this to Kiriha.

[Marilen Yoshida]

"That's up to you to figure out or decide," Marilen told her simply.

Kiriha didn't see it; he was blind to such things, "She is? Over Marilen?" he got a big smile out of that one.

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Natsumi just looked back at her and shrugged, "Ah well, I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later." she said, turning away from Marilen and heading closer to the restaurant,

"It's a gut feeling, I don't know." Kiba said as he moved to catch up.

[Marilen Yoshida]

Marilen slowed down, having had enough with Natsumi, so she fell in line with Kiriha and Kiba, "Kiri-kun," she said loudly enough for Natsumi to hear, "who's your friend here?" she directed to Kiba.

"This is Izumi, Kiba," Kiriha said, "I just met him a few days ago."

She gave him a smile.

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

A smile formed over Natsumi's face as she was also engaged in a little mental deliberation...

while Kiba rolled his eyes a little at the mocking remark before nodding with a slight wave. "That's me." he said, "And you're Marilen..." he added, since he was introduced in a first name last name kinda deal...

[Marilen Yoshida]

"Yoshida, Marilen," she said, "I was born in America, hence my name."

Bluntly, she said, "I think I like you, Izumi, Kiba."

[Natsumi Sonozaki]

Natsumi ordered a table for four, and seating, then sat down by herself.

while Kiba looked back at her, "Well now, that's good to know Mari-san..." he replied easily, giving her a wink in return.

[Marilen Yoshida]

She frowned, "I like that you care enough to give me a name like that, but I prefer my name as it is."
