"A Special Gift":
The sun had set a couple of hours before and Allura didn't openly admit but she's sure Yukio knew already. She had actually enjoyed herself so far and she had a lot of fun going through the festival and playing different games, the two of them making a competition out of who did better at what game, not really caring for the small prizes they received from the ones they tried. This showed Allura a different side of Yukio she never even thought was there, but the same could easily be said in the reverse.
They had walked past a few games that they knew were rigged and Allura looked beside her seeing Yukio was gone, she turned and saw him standing at one of the stalls and she back tracked to stand beside him.
She raised an eyebrow and placed a hand to her hip, "What are you planning?"
She glanced to the stall and saw there were several items on display and a sign that said Knock down a prize and it's yours! Her eyes scanned it and saw that the game was nearly impossible to win.

Yukio grinned at the rigger and smirked, "I'm going to win one. I will."
He looked towards his date and smiled, "Kiss for good luck?" He turned back and chuckled, "Or a high five? That'd work, don't hit me!"
Yukio couldn't help but move away slightly, as he expected to get decked for the joke.

A blush rushed to Allura's face and she stepped forward to hit Yukio after he dodged away from her first hit, "I said you got a few free passes." She couldn't help a soft giggle though at how he tried to avoid getting hit.
"How do you intend to win one though? You know these are rigged."

He looked towards the rigger once again as the seemingly old man gave him a bright smile, "Easily, watch."
He slid the man 572 yen, "Give me three throws, old man."
Once he gave him the three balls, he glanced over the prizes. Yukio caught one massive prize that would be perfect, a massive bee, maybe the size of his chest, "Hey, Allu-"
Yukio smirked as he realized Allura was looking elsewhere, as something caught her eye.

Allura was listening to their conversation but a child that had run into her caught her attention as they ran off. She could only shake her head as she started to remember for herself moments like this from when she was younger.
She was so distracted by her thoughts that she didn't hear Yukio say her name.

Yukio smirked at her once more, "Alright, I guess I can work with this."
The soul reaper quickly threw one ball, nailing a stuffed animal, not knocking it off. He sighed and shook his head before nailing another toy on the bottom shelf.
"Alright old man, I guess you conned me out of my Yen, my friend. I guess you win," He shrugged and sighed, though his eyes narrowed as he whispered something under his breath.
The old man was laughing, though it quickly ceased as he heard a thud, "What the!" The old man exclaimed in surprise.
"Bingo!" There was a bit of smoke coming from his fingertips, "Easy. Now hand over the bumblebee."
Yukio grinned as the old man grabbed it and handed to him, "Thank you."

Allura looked back just as Yukio threw the last ball but she was more focused on him than what he hit. She couldn't help a soft laugh as she realized what he had done to win and she shook her head.
She blinked in surprise as she was handed a rather large stuffed bee then almost immediately burst into laughter. Gaining her a very confused look from her date and the game merchant.

Yukio shook his hand and then looked back up at Allura, "The hell are you laughing at?"
Allura managed to stop laughing for half a second to speak, "It's a bee!" She then couldn't help but laugh again.
He stood there and thought for a second, "Okay? And? Come on. What is so funny about it?"

Allura took a moment to breath and finally calm her laughter as she looked to the bee she held then Yukio, "You asked earlier why I'm so quick. Part of it is due to training with Makino since I got my ass handed to me by her. The other part has to do with my Zan spirit."
As Yukio raised an eyebrow she continued, "Kumabachi is a humanoid wasp, but when I first saw her I mistakenly referred to her as a bee because of her name and she got really pissed. Since then, anytime we bicker I refer to her as 'The Queen Bee' which just fires her up more." She couldn't help a slight giggle at the thought.

"I... I was racing a bee?" Yukio shook his head and then sighed, "The bee matches you. Cute but stings like hell."
Yukio turned and looked at the game merchant, "Good game old man, but I win." He turned back to his date and turned her so they could continue walking.
"Well then it is a good ass present," He chuckled to himself and looked towards the prize, then to her, "Alright, bumblebee, what is next?"

Allura smacked his arm lightly, "Wasp, you were racing a wasp." The rest of his words sank in and she blushed darkly and looked away from him.
"I take it no matter what though I'm stuck with the nickname?" She ducked away from his arm and ended up bumping into someone, she quickly turned around and looked to the woman behind her, "I am so sorry, ma'am. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing."
As she turned around she was caught off guard by the bright pink wig she saw and she blinked some in surprised but gave an apologetic smile.

Kotaro smiled at the redhead. "No issues, dearie but I a man not a female." He grinned at her. "Just because I am a little on the feminine side I always get mistaken for one."
Allura's face flushed with embarrassment as she bowed her head, "My apologies."
He smiled with a tilt of head as he patted her head. "None needed, kitten. All is well."

Allura blinked as she was patted then when she heard the tone he spoke in next she froze up a little. Why does he seem so familiar? The question buzzed in her mind as she smiled to the man, "Again, my apologies for running into you." She turned and began to walk away, still bothered by the familiarity.
Yukio turned and followed, he put his arm around her as a protective symbol. He leaned in to whisper into her ear, "There was something odd about that, thing."
Allura didn't even notice his arm around her, she mostly tried to focus her mind on where she had heard the voice before but the memory was so faint, she spoke in a barely audible tone, "Something about them was very... familiar. It's making me feel anxious."

Kotaro grinned as he watched the redhead walk away with a guy, his arm draped over her shoulders.
Meow~
Kotaro looked down as Ai poked her head from his kimono. "Yes, I know Ai. I wonder where her friend is?" Kotaro looked around thinking he might spot the noble close by. When he did not see her he started a path through the festival once more. There were so many more girls to consider as well. He could not get caught up in finding just one. Maybe he would get lucky with the noble like he did red, and she would find him.

Allura had practically watched the ground as Yukio walked away with her. It wasn't until they were right on the outside of the gaming alley did she come out of her thoughts and look around, noticing it was a bit quieter here.
She looked to Yukio and raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
