Turning Point

“Shukaku’s here for the *hic* party! Where’s the food?!”

“You’re kidding me,” I said, annoyed and Isonade still hugging me from the waist.

“Teme? That *hic* you? What are you doing here with Suki and… Isonade?”

“Long story,” I replied, still on the phone.

Shukaku was led to a table on the other side of the room, thank god, but Isonade was still hugging me and I was not gay. I told Sosha about my situation and he told me to go to the bathroom, to avoid Isonade. “I’ll be over there in a minute,” Shane said, “Just stay on the phone.”

“Right,” I said to Shane, “Um Suki I’m going to go to the bathroom...”

She nodded, I shoved Isonade off, and ran to the bathroom. I shut the door and stood against it. “Kyuubi? You still there?” Shane asked.

“Yeah.”

“Okay, I’m coming up to the place, you can come out now.”

“All right,” I got out of the bathroom and then Shane came into the restaurant.

He grabbed Isonade and dragged him close to where I was. “You listen to me, Isonade Sanbi, Suki has this one chance that she asked Kyuubi out, you are going to make this work out or I’m going to break your arms in a hundreds of places. GOT IT?!” Shane snapped.

Isonade nodded and Shane kicked him out. I walked back to the table and Shukaku went back to his, because his buffet was waiting for him. I sat down and started to look at the menu. “Hey Kyuubi they have a lollipop cake!” Suki exclaimed excitedly.

‘Huh… Maybe this wasn’t so bad I guess…’

I looked at the menu, and Suki was right, they did have it. “Hm... what ’ya know, they do... I’ll have that for dessert probably and some steak.” I said looking over the rest of the menu.

Once the food was over, it was silent for about ten minutes, but… “Kyu-kun *hic* how could you kick your *hic* lover out?!” said a loud voice.

‘You gotta be kidding me!’

I looked at the door. He was back. Isonade ran up and hugged me around the neck and shoulders. I really felt like crying because I really didn’t like this guy. Then, something really unexpected happened. Suki growled lowly, stood up, and grabbed Isonade. She threw him on the floor and managed to pin him. “Suki? What are you *hic* doing?” he slurred.

What really surprised me was that she punched him in the face. “What the hell Isonade?! I'm on a date with Kyuubi. I need to spread my wings. I need a break. If you even get within a 10 ft radius of Kyuubi in the next week I’m gonna rip your arms off!” Suki yelled.

A lot of the people were in the restaurant, staring. Even Shukaku stopped eating and gaped at the sight. Sosha heard what was happening from Shane and hurried over here. Sosha entered the restraint and was looking at Suki and Isonade. Suki looked as if she was biting his arm.

Sosha approached with caution and then stood beside them with a smile on his face. “Suki, is it okay if I could talk to Isonade for a minute?”

Suki nodded, saying ‘gladly’ and got off. Isonade stood up and Sosha led Isonade to the door. “Oh thank god. Thanks Sosha… uh what are you?-“ Isonade was saying before Sosha got an evil smile on his face and kicked him in the gut.

Isonade went flying out the door. “Huh, I’m impressed, best kick that I’ve ever done. Enjoy your time guys,” Sosha smirked and then left.

Shukaku just kept eating once he got bored. Once that was over with, I started to smile, but I started to eat again because I think I was smiling too much. She sat back at the table and smiled too. Once dinner was over with, I got the lollipop cake. "Thank who ever invented this" I mumbled, staring at it.

Suki started to giggle. I looked up. “What’s so funny?”

She took some icing off the cake and tapped my nose. I looked at my nose a little confused, but I started to chuckle too, but then after realizing I was laughing, I stopped. “You know Kyuubi-kun... I heard that there is a chemical in your brain that fights against depression and every time you laugh or give someone a compliment the chemical has a higher rate of fighting against the depression,” Suki said.

I took a napkin and wiped the icing off my nose. "Hm... that is interesting,” I said, giving Suki a slice of cake.

I got my own piece and shock was on Suki’s face. She noticed a lollipop on her cake, but she took it off and put it on my piece. I looked up and she just smiled. “I don't need too much sugar now do I?” she said.

Once she started to eat her piece, something seemed funny to me. Suki seemed a lot calmer, but not like she was full of sugar. “Kyuubi?”

“Huh?” I said, returning from my space out.

“Anything wrong?”

“No, nothing, just thinking,” I replied.

She nodded and returned to her cake. ‘Well, no use thinking about it now.’

We both finished our pieces of cake and I put the lollipop in my mouth. I was going to pay the bill, but Suki took care of it (with Shane’s money). Once that was over, I noticed Shukaku was gone. Oh well. “Hey, Kyuubi-kun, I know a nice park that’s around here, can we go there?” Suki asked.

I sighed. I guess it couldn’t hurt. “Sure, let’s go.”

I walked beside Suki and we went to the park.

“Should we follow?” Sosha asked Shane.

He nodded and the two followed without being noticed.
