Taru was at the local resturant"Fabrizzo"owned by a kind italian family, strangely enough he's japanese and knew nothing of italian cuisine. He's been coming to the resturant since he moved here when he was young, since his mother was busy supporting the family and she gave him money to get his own food. The owners are quite familliar with Taru now. Since most of the food at the resturant was made by scratch, the food was very good but not very crowded since not alot of people know about it. Taru wanted to spend lunch with Sakura and hoped she would like the food. It wasn't a date or anything, but he still would like to impress Sakura. He borrowed extra money from his mom to buy whatever Sakura wants. Taru started to have second thoughts now since he didn't even know if Sakura liked Italian food. Taru started to panic before taking a deep breath. He has confidence in the Fabrizzo family. He exited his shelby GT and walked into the resturant. The tables we're all nice and clean and only a few customers. He gave Sakura the adress already via text message so he grabbed a table for two and patiently waited for Sakura.

Outside the Pink Ferrari rolled up behind the brand new muscle car. It was improperly parked, and it was parked in a place where the young man hadn't paid for. So he ran the plates, saw that a 16 year old Hircine student was driving it, and found the opportunity to write for this young man his very first parking ticket. He removed the pink notepad, and filled it out accordingly. He coughed gently, wiping his mouth on his dress shirt sleeve and slapping the ticket under the window wipers. It was for $150, due to two offenses in one. "I wonder..." He looked to the left, into Fabrizzo's. He saw a young boy sitting alone, probably waiting for a date. No parents. "Actualy... At sixteen years old, he can't drive alone, either."
The officer entered the estlabishment, nodding to the family member that came towards him, alarmed by the badge on his waist. "Relax mam. You just got a young driver in here who shouldn't be on the road."
He stared towards Taru.

Taru noticed the police man lookng at him. Worried, Taru looked at his car and saw a pink slip. Taru said to himself "dammit." Taru walked toward the officer and frowned. He banged his head against the table and sighed. I have no freaking idea how to get-....That's it! I'll walk Sakura home. Oh yeah. That is good. Taru smiled and ran outside to see the pink slip. 150$?! Shit that's alot. Well I got 200$ on me, i was going to spend the extra but I get discounts from here anyways being a customer for the last 10 years. Well she still can order lots of food. Taru went back inside and nodded at the officer saying ,"I understand". Taru went back to his seat to wait for Sakura. He can get a friend of his to drive his car back home for him. Or ask his mom to come over later and drive it back home.

"Uh..."
He watched the kid whizz out of the restaurant, and nearly pulled his pistol. However, when he walked back in, said he understood, and then calmly sat back down... I... Am confused Carlos thought with a heavy sigh. "Liscence and registration?" Carlos said as he walked over to the table, holding out his hand. Simply saying someone understood didn't help the fact the kid was close to being arrested and his vehicle towed.

Taru sighed and went outside to his car and went to the glove compartment and pulled out the registration which he thought he'd never use in his whole freaking life. But apperantly had to. Then he ran back in with registration in hand and pulled out his wallet and showed the officer his driver liscence. He looked at his liscence and thought to himself, "Damn I look like a tard in that picture...." He waited for the officers approval and hoped he wouldn't get arrested nor get his car towed. His mom saved up alot for that car and he wasn't getting it towed.

"Says here this is your learners permit." Carlos turned the liscence around with his thumb and his index finger, and his index finger tapped 'Class' and underneath it, 'Permit'. "Have you not taken your road test so you can drive on your own, yet?" Carlos narrowed his eyes. "And stop walking around without me following you. Also. Keep your liscence and registration in your wallet, and not in the glove box. For cases just like this." Carlos kept one hand on his hip, and the other on the liscence. "So tell me. What are you doing driving illegally?"
I'd hate to bust this kid's balls... But... Carlos began to think to himself as he allowed the kid in front of him to make up an excuse, or give a reason. Hircine kids may start acting tough because Varron kids are in town. So everybody gets it equally.

Taru gupled.
"I'll be honest with you officer, I didn't want to drive here with a parent and my date seeing would make a mockery of myself but I'm making a mockery of myself right now driving illegally. I know I should of done it for the sake of the law ,but I know that was wrong. I took the road test but I didn't do so well. I'm attempting it again this week. I know it was foolish of me officer and I shouldn't disobey the law. I only wanted to impress my date and that was all."

"Well..."
What should I do? Book him? Wait for the date to arrive and then book him, just to be an ass? The kid seems legitimate, and there are no reported accidents... I have been having a good day today... I dunno...
The Officer sighed. "I should arrest you on the spot and impound your vehicle. So this is what i'm going to do. Five hundred dollar fine, and if I ever catch you driving without a parent again, I will make sure your record is stained. Permenately. You have 48 hours to pay the fine, file it at the Police Station." He handed back the liscence, and ruffled his own hair. "Have a nice day." He said, exiting the restaurant and opening the door to his vehicle. He slipped into the Ferrari, revved the engine twice, and shifted out into first. He was gone in seconds.

After getting out of her house, Sakura ran towards the restaurant as fast as she could, seeing that she was very late. She finally reached the restaurant and walked in breathless as she spotted Taru and sat down at the table.
"I'm so sorry that I'm late, I'll be sure to make it up to you someday."
Sakura smiled as she caught her breath and looked around to see the environment and approved. She gave a menu to Taru as she opened her own and looked at the choices.
"What are you going to eat?"
ooc: man... mine still looks like nothing compared to yours... Well, I read the nice officer's post and fixed it~ ^-^

"It's alright. You can make it up to me whenever you want. And however you want."
Taru smirked a little at Sakura. His little lunch with Reiye was hopeless. Maybe he could score with Sakura instead. Taru sighed and hope he could.
"Order whatever you want."
Taru smiled at Sakura while waiting for what she wanted. Taru would order the shrimp alfedo with extra cheese. The way he liked it. Taru was still very fond to this place even if he's been here numerous times.
"Pretty girls like you deserve good food."
Taru smiled at the comment he said to Sakura and looked in her eyes while waiting for what she wanted to order.

Sakura smiled at Taru's generous offer but shook her head as she didn't feel like putting too much burden on Taru.
"I won't buy anything too expensive, that'd be too much to ask for at the moment..."
Sakura looked through all the sections and finally decided on a simple spagetti with pasta covered with cheese. She handed the menu's to the waiter as she look towards Taru, finally being able to calm down and start a nice conversation.
"So are you a transfer from Varron or a veteran Hircine High student?"

Taru laughed at her question before looking at her with a smile. She was a little clueless but its alright. Taru thought that made her a little more innocent with her looks.
"I'm a Hircine student. How about you?"
Taru looked at her with a plain face since he didnt have anything to frown or smile about. Taru asked the waiter for a sprite then told him to wait for Sakura to order her drink as well. Taru stared at Sakura's eyes and waited for her to say something or bring something up to talk about. Anything to kill time while they waited for thier food. And drink. But Sakura still had to order her drink. So Taru waited patiently while looking at Sakura eyes locked not to be rude and not pay attention her.

Sakura ordered a simple glass of water as she placed down the appetizers they had recieved and finally she looked up as she finished setting the food.
"I'm from Varron, it's not a pretty place over there before, but I guess they get a bit of a break time now that we're gone from the place. So many gangs over there, I hope there isn't too much of a problem here like there..."
Sakura tasted the bread as it came out, enjoying the food. She liked the music in the background and the design of the wall as she let her eyes wander back and forth, both hoping to spend time until the food came out and also hoping to find something to talk about. She then thought of a conversation as she dropped her fork onto its original position.
"Where did you find out about this place? It seems that you've known these people somewhat well to get this nice spot!"

Taru frowned. Poor girl. She could of been injured alot at Varron. Taru twitched at the thought of that. He then his shook head and looked at her with a sad look on his face. Taru gently held her hand.
"You didn't get hurt or anything...did you..?"
Taru had a look in his eyes shows that he actually cared. Taru would be angered if someone did hurt Sakura though. So he still held her hand while looking at her at eyes waiting for an answer.

Sakura smiled as Taru tried to comfort her, but everything that had happened in Varron, from the whole police incident to all the fights she had gotten into, his comfort was sadly of no use considering the amount of pain Sakura had gone through there. She had no reason to scare or stress him out with her past life that she herself had decided to leave behind.
"No, not really, maybe a small cut or two from papers, but that's about it."
Sakura couldn't help but blush slightly when he held her hand, but the instant after she had taken in the fact that Taru was holding her hand, she immediately thought of Zerreth from nowhere. She wondered where he was, but at the same time, she felt that if she was to see him again, then everything from the past would come back to her again all together. She shook away the thought as the food suddenly came and Sakura pulled her hands back to let the waiters let down the plates. She picked up her fork as she started to mix the pasta with the noodles as she smiled at Taru who had ordered the shrimp as they got ready to eat. Sakura first prayed as she always did then finally picked up her fork once again and started to eat, enjoying the fine meal from the restaurant.
"So are you enjoying your meal?"

Taru smiled. But inside he frowned. She was lying. Poor girl. She's been hurt alot...Taru sighed and took a bite of his food.
"Yeah I am."
Taru twirled his pasta some more and took a bite. He couldn't get Sakura off hiis mind now. Taru looked at her with sad eyes. She doesn't deserve to suffer.
"Sakura...I know you we're actually hurt. I'm sorry I didn't meet you sooner...I really am. If I met you sooner, I would give it my all to protect you. And now your at Hircine. That what i'm going to do. I promise you that."
Taru smiled at her after he said that and waited for a response still smiling.
"I'm not lying. I promise to protect you."
Taru looked into her eyes with eyes of fire.

Sakura stopped eating for a while to be able to respond to everything that Taru was expressing, saying and keeping inside almost too obviously. She put down her fork and shook her head when he had explained about him protecting her.
"That'd be too much to ask of you. Besides, I had..... Someone, to protect me back then and if he wasn't around, I probably wouldn't be here."
Sakura looked in the distance past Taru, thinking about him and soon came back from her thoughts to talk to Taru, hoping that he wouldn't take the point she had made a bit too harsh.
"I just hope he's still somewhere around here, but having you as a guard is always nice, but don't worry about me too much! I know how to fend off people now after all those experiences..."
Sakura fiddled with her food a bit before restarting the conversation.
"Have you gotten into any fights around here? It seems like there are a few gangs here and there to fend off from what I can see..."

"There's a reason why I'm going to protect you. And i'm protecting you because my heart tells me so. And no fights yet. I'm fully prepared though. Plus...I'm willing to give my life for people that I love."
Sakura smiled at her telling "yeah thats you." Taru ate more of his pasta bite after bite.
"I'm here to protect you Sakura-chan. I promise that. With mind body and soul. I know you probaly can fend people off but...I...well...anyways I don't want to you get hurt period. I will be willing to give my life for you, but still. I don't want to your hurt, its as if i'm hurt cause your hurt."

Sakura smiled at his kind remark and nodded.
"It's always nice to know that people will be there beside you, but for me, if I do get into some fight, please try to stay out of the fight unless it seems like i'm being outnumbered.. I have experience and I don't mind getting a few cuts and broken bones, it doesn't pain me all too much, time heals all wounds."
After her word, Sakura continued to eat her pasta and smiled at Taru as she kept playing that same things he had just said over and over in her mind...

"I'll kill any person that harms you. Keep that in mind. And I got to refuse to that. I protect my loved ones till the end. Thats just how i love them."
Taru smiled at Sakura and bit a shrimp and bit the tail. Taru started choking and drank some of his sprite before putting his head against the table. Oww....Taru got up and coughed some more.
"Ouch...Jeez why do you gotta be so beautiful. I stare at you so much that I forgot not to eat the shrimp tails."
Taru sighed but smiled again waiting for her response.
