Chapter 10 - Approval

"I really hate to do this," Arata said looking ahead as he walked. "But you see, my friends need to make sure you are approved to be my girlfriend."

Ami giggled as she caught up to Arata before walking alongside him, "That's okay. Next week you got to have two meetings with my friends to get approved."

"Did you get distracted again?" Arata asked.

"No! I had to wait for the streetlight. I don't easily get distracted."

Arata smirked and shook his head, "Sure."

"Hey! You didn't stop when Nokia called like I asked you to do," Ami complained.

"And ruin the reveal? Naw. Than again, Nokia possibly already knows."

"I don't know, I mean she was surprised when Yasu asked her out. He showed the obvious signs."

"Like what?"

"The boy hired me to protect her and watch over her from a distance. He also wanted to know if if I was with the Rebels or not. He was protective of her, much like how Fei is with the Kamishiro twins." Ami thought about something for a while. "He acted like he does now whenever Nokia was around. Bloody nose, red face, always tried to act tough, turned to mush when she was around, you get the picture."

Arata's eyes hardened. "You never did explain as to why you considered them one of the cutest couples you've ever seen."

"Mmm, they take bronze. You really have to know both of their personalities."

"Whose silver?"

"Ryota and Sakura. You'll meet them later next week."

"And gold?" Arata saw Ami look at him. "No, it can't be us."

"Aww, why?" Ami questioned.

"Cause."

Ami giggled. "That's fine. I was going to say your parents."

"My parents?" Arata asked looking at her.

"They're so cute!"

"What did my mother do?" Arata asked as they got to the meeting spot.

"Your mother did nothing. Your parents are just so cute!"

"My parents are geeks," Arata commented.

"Which makes you a geek as well."

"Ami! You're late!" Nokia yelled crossing her arms. "Can't you ever be on time?"

"Sorry, sorry," Ami apologized.

"As usual, Sanada is early," Fei spoke crossing her arms in a more confident way. "Where's yur new gurl?"

"Please tell me it isn't your ex and you two got back together," Yuuko said almost pleading.

Arata blinked. Did Marippe - the self-proclaimed sweetest girl in Tokyo - tick off a lot of people? "It's not," Arata said. He pointed at Ami who was getting lectured out by Nokia and Yasu about being late. "It's Ami."

"Oh thank god," Yuugo said.

"Congratulations," his sister said. "Looks like we don't get to approve of anyone today."

"Glad the two of you approve," Arata said before looking over at Nokia and Yasu who didn't hear what he said. "Leave Ami alone for. She's early."

"She's late!" Nokia spoke.

"I'm early, she's early, so quit lecturing her," Arata commented.

"Wah?" Nokia said. "You and your girlfriend WERE supposed to arrive last!"

"Nokia," Ami said grabbing her friend's hands, "I am his girlfriend."

Nokia took a minute to process this and looked at Ami with a serious look. "Ami, you know you are a dear friend to me, right?"

"Yeah?"

"Than allow me to give you some advice," Nokia got her hands free. "You do not move in with your boyfriend before the first date!"

"She didn't. I moved in with her and I'm staying there until we decide to move," Arata spoke crossing his arms. "So no setting Ami up with that waiter or with Hino. Can you also please keep your voice down?"

"We are trying to keep it low-key for now," Ami said. "Just to give Marippe more time to cool off."

"Arata, I approve of your girlfriend. Ami, I approve of your boyfriend. When we have a girls night, you MUST tell us the juicy gossip!"

Ami's face started to turn red. "No, she does not!" Arata argued.

"Ah, ah," Ami intervened. "No fighting."

"Yes, mother," Yuuko tease good-naturedly.

"Funny fact: She actually mothers her own mother," Arata commented. "It's quite comical."

"Oh?" Yasu questioned.

"Don't you dare," Ami threatened her boyfriend.

"You can't leave us in suspense!" Nokia said.

"Of course we can," Ami said. "It is what we've always done!"

If Nokia could, she would strangle Ami right now, but she couldn't stay mad. Not when she finally say her two friends get together. Now, who could she find for Yuugo?
