Chapter 63 - NIKASU'S DATE (Side-story) (Part-2)

"Sorry i got caught up while fixing by hair, so couldn't come down sooner and took so much time. " apologized Nikasu in a soft & warm tone as his face still carried in indifferent and uncaring expression. Even though Nikasu didn't show it he actually cared a lot about Erza as he was deeply in love with her. Same could be said for her.

Ever since Erza came into his life ,it was like she brought warm emotions and warmth which Nikasu thirsted for since his previous life as only Ichizu was his family or to saw he was his hope, his SUN and his reason to live after being discarded from his family.

But now he had another reason to live and return back home as someone would always be waiting for him at the the door the moment he enters his house. She slowly slowly was able to breach inside of his shell which he made around him so that no one except Ichizu will become close to him and he wouldn't have to fear that they will abandon him like his parents someday.

"Let's go .....!!!!" shouted Erza like a little kid as she ran towards Nikasu ,interlocked his arm with her own and started dragging him as they exited Namikaze Compound and started walking on the streets of the village.

Many people smiled after seeing two youngsters behaving like couples and whistled in order to raise the spirit of these two youngsters wearing attractive clothes as they realized that the male in front of them is the child of the 4th-hokage. Everone loved and respected Minato as he was a great shinobi who saved the village from the 9-Tails even sacrifising his own live for it.

So when they saw that the child of their Hero has finally manned up they naturally were happy for him even though the effects of their efforts yielded opposite result.

Erza felt her face burning up as she became as red as a tomato and clenched Nikasu's hand tightly. Whereas even if there was no expression on his face his reddened neck told something else.

They picked up the pace and arrived in front of a giant restaurant owned by the Akimichi family who are famous for their pill making talent.

They entered the restaurant while holding each other's hand and we're surprised to see that there were not many costumers in the restaurant.

'Looks like we arrived at the perfect time.' though both of them simultaneously as a small smile crept on Nikasu's face while the grin on Erza's face threatened to spilt her mouth into two.

They searched for a minute as they found an empty table at the end corner of the restaurant ,it looked detached and private to both of them as they took their seats.

After a second a waiter holding a pen and note came towards their table to note down their order and also passed them a list of dishes available today.

"Hmm.....please bring '4-Makizushi' ;'5-Yakitori' ;'2-Tempura' and some water for both of us." said Erza as she ordered the food.

Nikasu had been maintaining his stoic look while thinking about how will she react after knowing what will happen in the future and how she can travel to more different places and live her life with him.

After hesitating of another minute Nikasu spoke when the waiter left the couples alone after seeing that they would like to be left alone with each other.

"So tell me Erza what will you do this the village was in extreme danger of being wiped out." asked Nikasu .She spoke after some time as great determination could be seen embedded deep in her eyes as she replied "I would die for the village so no matter how much stronger is the enemy as i will fight for what i want to protect till my death."

'I while never allow anyone to hurt you .....never.' thought Nikasu with a smile on his face as he looked into the determined eyes of his love.

"You know Erza this world may soon be engulfed into darkness and there while be chaos everwhere...but that isn't necessarily a bad thing maybe everyone be learn something from it...maybe they will put aside their differences and work together to win."

"Maybe their will be a long lasting peace after the storm ends....sorry I got carried away." apologized Nikasu.

But Erza didn't react as she was too caught up by the words Nikasu had just spoken. She replies "What a wonderful way of thinking...I really wish in this could change into reality....a long lasting peace."

"Erza I what to ask you something...." asked Nikasu as his voice trembled a little.

"What is it Nikasu????." replied Erza.

"If.....if I were to leave here and travel to a far away place while.....while you accompany we...we you be their for me...." asked Nikasu as he was thinking nervously about what would Erza say.

Erza replied with a smile "I will follow you anywhere ,even in death.....I will love you forever ,even if you became the worst person...I will always be with you ,even in another world...."

This time it was Nikasu's turn to be stunned after listening to what she just said and after recovering from the shock she gave him, he smiled....yes smiled with extreme happiness for the first time after a long time.

Erza and some other people who saw his smile were captivated ,it was like a heaven's angel has just descended before them and is spreading happiness.

"Thank you....." even though Nikasu said only two words ,the smile on his face and the warmth in his tone conveyed his feelings and emotions.

"Do worry about it...." replied Erza with a smile.
