The Secrets of Past Lives (Closed; Hatter94 and Rackie; M)

Anna laughed with Raicheal happily, enjoying their little jokes. She quickly got rid of the cursed kompot and put it in the fridge. Instead, she took a bottle of cola out of the fridge and placed it on the table. She then filled her glass with the sweet beverage and sat at the table next to Raicheal. Her stomach was full, so she couldn't eat any more pierogis even if she wanted.

Well... We can start from some nice little dinner somewhere then... Hm... No, no, no I can't spoil my ideas to you!" Anna said smiling widely. "Still, I want it to be the best it can be." She said as she looked out of the window. It was getting late outside. Anna looked at Raicheal smiling. "By the way, Raicheal, I think I'll need your help with new clothes. I guess I should get myself more skirts and dresses to be cuter for you. Let's leave that for later though. Well, perhaps we could go shopping together some day and... uhm... nevermind, I'll think about it later." Anna said. At the end of her sentence, her cheeks turned red. Apparently, she got embarrassed by her ideas. Well, after all the main idea behind going shopping was to get clothes that would make Anna look cute for Raicheal.

Anna obviously started cleaning off the table with Raicheal. Once they were done with the cleanings, the white-haired girl sat down on a table and folded her arms on her chest. "Well, actually a picnic sounds really fun! You know what? Let's have a picnic then!" She said enthusiastically. The idea really seemed way more interesting than what Anna originally had in mind. The girl's cheeks became way redder when she was about to reply to Raicheal's words about shopping. "I want to, really. I wouldn't even suggest it if I didn't. Also, I'm not going to change completely... Just... well... wearing something different than kimonos and sportswear... sounds... r-refreshing... I'd like to try something different..." Anna said, stuttering, imagining herself in a cute black dress in a gothic-lolita style. Her imagination only made her embarrassment worse.

"I swear I'm not a tomato! Tomatoes don't have white hair! Wait... what if they do..? MUTANT TOMATOES! OH NO!" Anna said loudly with her hands on her cheeks and with a terrified expression. A moment later though, she started laughing "Just kidding, just kidding... " She said, once she calmed down. That's when she noticed Raicheal started washing the dishes. With a frown, she gently placed her hand on her girlfriend's hand and shook her head. "I'll deal with the dishes and with the broken glass later." Anna told her calmly and shook her head. "Also, a picnic obviously should be outdoors so... Hm... I think I know a few places." The ninja said with a warm smile, trying to recall all the interesting places she'd visited during her lone practices. Most of those places were meadows and glades near the woods of the training grounds though.

Anna shook her head at the first statement. "But you're my guest. Guests don't do household chores." Anna told her calmly and turned off the water. She then smiled slightly and folded her arms across her chest. "But yeah, spending time with you is really fun." The white-haired girl admitted, nodding. "I love being outside too! Sitting indoors is just boring to me." She added winking and grinning widely. Well, it was one more thing they had in common!

Anna's level of enthusiasm was rising very quickly. Especially after Raicheal's last statement. "Yeah! Living outside would be totally awesome. I've once set up a tent in the woods and tried to spend an entire night there, but my brother wasn't very happy with that idea, so I had to return home. Come oooon camping in the woods seems so exciting!" Anna said and from her words, it was easy to guess that the girl will definitely carry out her little plan one day.

The white-haired girl cleaned her throat and calmed down a bit after getting a little bit too excited. "Is there anything you would like to do now? I can always walk you back to the dorms if you want." Anna said as she looked at the wall-clock to check the time. Her hands were on her hips and it seemed like she still had lots of energy to spare!

Sparks of excitement lit up when Raicheal shared her idea. A huge smile appeared on her face as she started nodding at her words. "Yes, yes, yes! This sounds awesome! I love this idea!" The girl said not hiding her excitement. Sleeping in a tent, exploring, swimming in a lake, sitting by a campfire and all of it with Raicheal- it all seemed so great.
Anna once again looked at the clock and crossed her arms on her chest. "Well... Okay... I see... hm... let me at least walk you home." Anna said as she looked at Raicheal with a barely visible smile. She wasn't too happy about her having to leave either, but well, they were going to see each other on the next day so it was okay.

"Oh, Mark's workshop? It's in the basement" Anna said as she approached the exit from the kitchen. "I'd show you the way, but... hm... it's better to not interrupt Mark when he's working. His inventions can be quite... delicate." Anna explained, remembering that one time she jumped into her brother's basement, causing him to drop his experimental smoke bomb, which caused... well... the entire basement to be unusable for two hours.

"Oh, hey, were you looking for me?" Asked Mark, who'd just entered the kitchen. He was carrying his empty plate to the sink. As Raicheal had hoped, he just appeared out of nowhere when he was needed.

Mark shook his head with a smile present on his face. "The pleasure was mine, Raicheal. I'm always happy to take care of everyone who my sister likes and trusts." He said, bowing slightly.
Anna smiled at the interaction between Raicheal and Mark. She was happy to see that her brother accepted and even liked Anna's beloved one. With her eyes closed, the little ninja let out a pleased sigh. It was a very, very great day (despite the painful beginning). "Alright then! I'm ready when you are!" The girl said enthusiastically. It seemed like she couldn't wait to have another little walk with Raicheal.

They quickly got outside, where Anna smiled widely and took a deep breath. "Ah... I love the air at night... so refreshing..." Anna commented happily as she started slowly leading Raicheal towards the dorms. It was a rather calm night and the air was a bit chilly. In fact, the night was Anna's favorite time of the day

Anna giggled quietly. "The right company, huh?" The little ninja repeated after her girlfriend with a smirk on her face. She very gently touched her arm with her elbow. A quiet giggle left her mouth after that. "Well, I mean, I usually spend most of my time on my own... So spending time with someone, especially with you, feels great." Anna admitted, as she gently touched Raicheal's hand with her hand. She probably wanted to hold her hand, but she didn't want to force anything.

Anna shook her head a bit. "You are quite unlucky with men then... But it allowed me to steal your heart though." She said as she shrugged slightly and winked at her. She then remembered that most males she knew were rather nice people. "But thank you for the compliment! Uhm... and yeah... I know my brother is a cool guy..." The girl added, grinning happily. To avoid awkward silence, Anna decided to start some sort of a conversation. "Hm... I'm curious about one thing actually. We were talking about food, but I forgot to ask you what's your favorite dish, am I right?" Well, Anna simply wanted to know more about Raicheal's favorite things, it would surely be useful in the future.

Anna immediately connected the dots when Raicheal cut off. It was obvious what she was about to say and the little ninja was glad her beloved girl didn't finish her sentence. It was a great thing that they changed the topic, and what they started about next would probably turn out into something very enjoyable. When Raicheal mentioned that beef stew was her favorite dish, Anna rubbed her chin with her fingers. "Wait, I remember... hm... Oh... " The girl suddenly realized what was Raicheal originally planning to eat that evening. Her face started turning red very slowly. "I-I'm very sorry... Because of me you... well... didn't get to eat your favorite stew..." Anna said quietly, stuttering a bit as she looked away. She was obviously referring to the stew that found itself on the floor because of her own accursed curiosity.

Anna sighed in relief when Raicheal hugged her. With her eyes closed, she hugged her back tightly and when she started talking about food and pierogi an idea came into her head. With a wide smile, she looked up at Raicheal and winked at her. "I have a better idea, you could teach me how to cook beef stew!" Anna said enthusiastically. Certainly, the idea of surprising Raicheal with some delicious food made the little ninja really, really energetic. After all, who wouldn't be happy if your girlfriend cooked your favorite dish?
