Promise is a Promise -Jindai-

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina smiled as she starred out over the water as she stood on the sandy beach. She placed one of her hands on her fore head to try and block some of the sun out as she watched the waves come in onto the beach before going back out again. Today was the day she was to be going to the beach with Jindai. After all she had successfully allowed him to sleep in class and this was her reward for helping him. She did not want to go to the beach on her own. That would just be silly. She wanted someone to come with her and since her parents had canceled she had now dragged Jindai to the beach. Well it was the deal she had made with him. She allows him to sleep in class and she makes sure his sleep is undisturbed and he takes her to the beach since her parents had canceled.

Sarina was wearing a pair of shorts that hug against her leg. Her shorts were a dark blue color while her sleeveless shirt was a light blue color. She was wearing a sun glasses that she had pushed up so they were resting on the top of her head. "Jin-Jin isn't it so peaceful here?" Sarina asked him. It was a nice sunny warm day that was perfect for going to the beach. Sarina was glad that Jindai had kept his side of the deal. She had no doubt that he would bail on her. She knew he was one who would keep his promises. Sarina had laid down a blanket on the sand so they could sit on it if they did not want to sit on the sand. Sarina knew she was going to end up going for a swim and sitting on the sand while you are wet just lead to the sand sticking to you.

"Thank you Jin-Jin for coming with me here," Sarina said with a bright smile as she glanced towards her friend. She adored Jindai for he was one of her greatest friends that she had at school. Sarina soon removed her shoes before running down to where the waves were coming up onto the beach. She smiled as she felt the cool water against her feet. She moved her toes among the wet sand. A few strands of her brown hair were dancing with the breeze as she looked out over the water. "I always loved it here at the beach. Some place where you can forget your worries for me," Sarina said with a light smile. She rather enjoyed it at the beach. One of her most favorite places to go to.

[Jindai the Calm]

The sun had lit his eyes, and his hands went towards the bag that Sarina wanted him to carry with her swimsuit and tanning lotion and things, and since he said yes and made his promise, he would never run away from it and do it to the letter. "Pretty good winds today, the gods are dancing on this place where water and sand meet." He stood as he watched her with a nod. "You should relax enjoy yourself in your own way, as long as I don't have to do much but stay put."

"You know my motto, A Promise is A Promise, that and, No Work, Hurray!" He said yawning as she laid the towel down on the sand, and he watched her. "Well, I guess I need to go find some shade..." He went towards a close by large tree trunk and smiled as he went into it and laid, though he was close enough to hear her, and with this walked back to her.

"The beach is the perfect place to reflect and release stress, because most people want to relax and enjoy themselves, so people come around to swim and play with friends... Quite the place indeed." He sat by her on the large towel and placed both his hands behind himself watching the ocean feeling the breezes push off his head and blow his hair backwards. "Ah, that's what I like, the elements corresponding and working together." He sighed happily.

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina smiled enjoyed the breeze that was carried out. Jindai was carrying her bag for her so she did not have to carry it herself. "Don't worry Jin-Jin. I purposely choose this place so you did not have to do anything other then stay put and keep me company," Sarina told him. She had purposely chosen this place for those reasons. She knew that Jindai did not like work and she was not going to choose some place where he had to do a bunch of work. Personally Sarina liked to be able to relax on the weekends herself. She worked hard in school and likes to have her weekends clear to do what she wants and not have to do work. Of course chores around the house back at home did not count. She would still do those regardless but she did not see that as work. She just saw it as her way to help her parents out since they were the ones who were raising her after all. Her way of saying thanks without voicing it.

Sarina was excited about being here at the beach. She had always enjoyed it here. That was something she had always enjoyed greatly. She liked being outside when the weather was nice as most people do. She was no exception to that. "Shade is nice to have. Can't stay out in the sun all the time," Sarina said. You could never stay out all day in the sun when it was dead hot without some side effect to it. You also had to keep hydrated as well when you are outside in the heat on top of that. Sarina laughed lightly as she spun around in one spot. This was the spot where you can see a lot of her smiles. It was where she did not have to have a care in the world. Where she could just relax and be herself.

"Well that is my plans here for today. To just plain relax after a long week of school work," Sarina said with a smile. She was glad that Jindai could enjoy himself as well here. They might have to do this again another time down the road as well. "I will be right back," Sarina told Jindai before she picked out her swim suite from the bag. She then walked off towards where the bathrooms were located. Stepping inside she closed the door before shredding her clothes and put on her swim suite instead. Sarina tied her hair back so that it would not get in her way when she decided to go swimming. Sarina was wearing her swim suite which was a two piece but she wore a pair of shorts over top of the bottoms of her swim suite. Made her feel more comfortable. She soon made her way back to where her and Jindai set up their spot on the beach. She put her clothes back into the back nicely before sitting down on the towel. She had taken out the sun lotion so she would not get a sun burn as she started to apply it to her legs, arms and stomach.

"Will Jin-Jin swim with me later after you relax here a bit?" Sarina asked as she glanced over to Jindai. She enjoyed swimming and was not half bad at swimming. She could keep herself a float and swim over her head but she was no professional swimmer. "I'm sure the water is really nice since its been so warm lately," Sarina said. She smiled towards Jindai before she sighed happily. She closed her eyes as she enjoyed the breeze against her skin. The sound of the waves hitting against the beach. It was all very peaceful here.

[Jindai the Calm]

"That's a nice swim-suit, you look like a super model, your breasts are formed greatly and your body is curved, bet when you get a boyfriend they will love for a woman to be as beautiful as you." He said with a simple tone of voice, not one to leave behind words or need to hide his words, speaking what he really thought, and being too lazy to lie, which is also a reason why he was the "King of Slackers" as well.

"I don't swim, never learned, and it's too much of a hassle, I work out everyday by running and walking, though that's about it." He closed his eyes, placing both hands behind his head with a smile on his face sighing once again as the wind blew again, his leg went up, holding up by the leg on the bottom. He was now relaxed and perfectly still, grasping a hat he had brought and placed it over his head. He laughed to himself once again, and opened his eyes to look up to her.

"I like staying here, and in the shade is where I'm most comfortable, forgive me, I'm a bore, that's my main drawback." He laughed once more silently groaning to himself as He snuffed and sighed once more.

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina blushed at Jindai's comment about her swim suite. She was not expecting him to say much about it but he did. "I am just going to take that as a complement," Sarina said as she shook her head. She was trying to rid of the burning feeling in her cheeks. "Words like that embarrass me..." Sarina muttered lightly. She gave a light sigh as she put some more sun lotion on her chest and neck. Again she did not want a sun burn. "As for the boyfriend thing I don't want one who will just like me because of my body in a swim suite," Sarina said as she closed her eyes. Girls did not want a boyfriend who was someone that just liked them for their looks. They wanted someone who could get along with them and make them laugh and like them for who they are not the looks. For not everything was about looks.

Sarina glanced to Jindai with a surprised look on her face. She did not expect him to say that he did not know how to swim. That he never learned how to swim. "But learning to swim is not something to do for exercise. It is more to do that you know how to swim in case you fall into deep water or something. Like if you are on a boat relaxing," Sarina explained. Swimming also was something useful in case you ever get into a situation where you fall into water that is too deep for you to stand in. Sarina moved closer to Jindai lifting the hat up from his face. "I can teach you to swim you know," Sarina told him with a light smile on her face.

Sarina smiled lightly as she dropped Jindai's hat back on his face. She shook her head at his comment about himself. "You are not a bore Jindai. I like hanging around you and you are not a bore to me," Sarina told him with a grin on her face. "So don't say you are a bore when you aren't," she added as she crossed her arms across her chest. She found him rather amusing. He always had something to say and she liked how if you have something to say then he will listen to what you have to say. There was nothing boring about Jindai. At least none that Sarina can find.

[Jindai the Calm]

"But of course, intelligent answer as always Sarina-chan, never let a boy come near you just for sex..." He said scratching his head and then his cheek, yawning once again. "It's all about three things, in my opinion to have a great relationship. "Have a deep understanding for your needs, and how you think, be opposites in terms of personality so the other make sup for it, usually for the work..." He closed his eyes and smiled. "Love them unconditionally, and never regret that you are together with them."

"Eh, I'm not worried about that, I'm not going anywhere near the ocean, I can stick around here and be safe, I'm not the kind of person who does everything everyone else wants to do unless I'm obligated to, you know that." He opened one eye watching her as he closed his eyes shortly after. "Besides, learning to swim is such a drag, and is too much work, either way I'll have to pass." He said with a simple gesture.

"I'm glad somebody thinks so, because I'm certainly not the eventful type, I love to sit and relax, and maybe help with problems and give advice." His hands went to his sides and he gasped as he began to laugh. "Thanks Sarina-chan, I'll definitely remember that, we've been friends so I guess we have grown fond of each other, besides that I like you a lot because your personality and helpful attitude and motherly protection over me."

"I like you a lot Sarina-chan, and I hope that we stay friends forever." He nodded, and watched her. "Even when we grow up and become adults, I'll keep in touch indefinitely."

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina nodded her head. "Well if sex is all a guy is looking for from me he most certainly barking up the wrong tree and will just end up with him getting hurt," Sarina said. She was simply referring to the fact she would hurt him. She was not just going to be some toy for some male. That certainly was not something she ever planned for herself. If she ever got a boyfriend she would want him to be someone who she can hang out with and speak to. Someone who will be there for her. Someone who she can be there for them as well. She glanced towards Jindai when he mentioned about the things he finds that make a relationship work. "You will make a girl very happy some day Jin-Jin," Sarina said with a light smile. She likes his out look on what a relationship should be.

Sarina sighed lightly at the mention that Jindai just was not going anywhere in situations that will lead to him needing to know how to swim. "Well if you ever do get in a situation like that you are lucky I am not bad when it comes to swimming," she said with a smile. She knew that Jindai was just going to keep away from deep water. "Alright I won't force you into learning how to swim. I will just swim today then," Sarina said with a smile. She had not problem with going for a quick swim before coming back to sit with Jindai. Of course that would be later. Right now she just wanted to hang out with Jindai for the moment. She soon laid down next to Jindai but she was laying on her stomach resting her head on her arms.

"I will be the one who has the adventures for the both of us," Sarina said with a smile. She was the one who was much more active then Jindai was. She was the one with the stories of the times when she was younger. Getting lost in the forest or getting stuck up a tree. Sarina was the more adventurous type while Jindai was the more laid back type who was just happy sitting there and enjoying life pass him by. "Jin-Jin I never want us to not be friends. We will most certainly keep in touch but we can stick together through school that is for sure. I like Jin-Jin too much to just walk away and forget you," Sarina told him with a light smile. "And I protect you so I don't ever have to loose you," Sarina added.

[Jindai the Calm]

"The way of life is, a guy, even a guy such as me can think about sex and how to make a situation to get into a girls feelings, and make her become emotional and feel the "moment" of having sex." He sighed and laid backwards as she laid with a laugh he heard her, he knew what she meant, and it made him happy. "Hm, if something like that were to happen, even if it was unexpected, I'll take care of you, and protect you, as always, A Promise is a Promise" He watched the sky.

"Good, maybe we can go on the boat one day, and you can protect me and save me from drowning, then give me CPR, won't that be a first kiss type situation?" He said to himself sighing as he closed his eyes once more, and with his hands going back to his head, with a grin. "Either way, I know you will be their to protect me because you are my closest friend and i trust you the most, and if anything happened to me for you, truly I'd have no regrets." He said his eyes still closed.

"Your adventures are weird to me, you are always getting mixed up in weird stuff for a high school lady." He placed his head to the side cracking his neck, as his lips spread and released a gasped. "I think you actually make up some stuff just to have it entertaining." He watched over to her.

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina shook her head slightly as she sighed. "Guys shouldn't manipulate girls into thinking that getting that intimate is a good idea just to get their way," Sarina said. That was the truth though. Some guys know how to do that and girls often become over emotional on top of that which did not help things. It can confuse them and cloud their minds so they think that is what they want. Then later after everything is over they will soon feel regret. Something Sarina did not want for herself. "Girls are too blind to catch on in till its too late on top of that," Sarina said as she sighed. Sarina looked to Jindai as she smiled. "Its a good thing you like to keep your promises," Sarina said.

Sarina laughed as she smiled when Jindai mentioned about going on a boat one day and she would save him. "Many would say that is a first kiss situation," Sarina said with a light blush on her cheeks at that thought. She shook her head before glancing back to Jindai. "However I prefer first kisses not to be because of trying to save the other's life," Sarina added. She found that the idea of CPR being the first kiss situation to be silly. It was because of saving the other person's life. A kiss should be because the two like one another. "Guess that means we will be protecting one another through our times together," Sarina said with a smile. She trust Jindai and he trust her in return so it made sense that the both of them wanted to protect on another.

Sarina scrunched up her nose before shaking her head. "There is such thing as being a bit on the too curious side that causes them to be a little bit adventurous," Sarina told Jindai. Sarina sat up and moved before she laid back down again this time on her back. She now rest her head on Jindai's stomach. "Now you can be my pillow for its part of taking me to the beach," Sarina said with a smile as she closed her eyes. Sarina put her hands together interlacing her fingers on her stomach. She was enjoying this little trip to the beach. It was rather peaceful and relaxing.

[Jindai the Calm]

"It happens all the time though, you will admit that won't you?" He said in a simple gesture of his head nodding and smiling. "It can even happen to you, it happens every time, all I can say is that if a guys to handsy, you have to be really careful, otherwise the maidens heart is doomed to become broken and torn... the sorrows of the world we live in." He closed his eyes once more his head swaying as the leave hit his nose, and he smiled, it stayed on top in the middle, swaying as well.

"When do you think we would have our first kiss, if we ever started to date, where do you think?" He said in a whisper towards her as his eyes closed all the way, his lips in small whispers as he listened to her words nodding to himself. "Hm, save my life, a priority one situation, same goes for me on that one though in a reverse, I would stop being lazy and try to save you as best I can." He said in a slow tone, humming to himself, as he sighed once again.

He listened to her words as, he allowed her to lay on his stomach, he slowly began to arise, the slow movements and motions lifting her head. "Cool." He closed his eyes once again after this, relaxing with her head on his stomach. "So, are you gonna tell me some of the things you have been holding inside, promise I won't tell anyone." He said in a sort of excited tone.

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina knew what Jindai was saying was true. "Yes I will admit that it does happen," Sarina said with a light sigh. It was the sad truth but it does happen. Sarina sighed lightly at the mention that it could even happen to her. She knew that was true. There could come a time when some boy sweeps her off her feet only trying to get one thing. "That is why your heart can sometimes lie to you," Sarina said sadly. She did not like that thought but it was true. "I will try not to jump to what my blind heart might be thinking or it will just lead to being broken," Sarina said. She sighed lightly. That certainly would not be a very good thing. She really did not want that happening to her. That would not be a pleasant thing and she would certainly make the boy pay for what he had done to her.

Sarina had to think about Jindai's next question. She was not sure about that. "If we ever started dating our first kiss..." Sarina said trailing off trying to think of where their first kiss would be if they had ever started to date. "...its hard to say where that would be but if it would ever happen I believe it would come natural. That the place would not matter but more that its just a natural thing that happens because we like one another," Sarina finally answered. Sarina smiled lightly as she closed her eyes. She listened to Jindai speak about protecting one another. "I know I am in good hands then," she said with a smile at the mention that he would try and safe her the best that he can. It meant a lot if he was even willing to give up being lazy to help her.

Sarina was glad when Jindai had allowed her to us him as a pillow as she rest her head on his stomach. She had closed her eyes and was rather comfortable laying here. She then heard Jindai's request for her to open up to him. She opened her eyes as she stared up towards the sky. "I know you won't tell anyone Jin-Jin I trust that you won't go around spreading what I say," Sarina said with a light smile. She sighed lightly as she closed her eyes again. "You are one of the only friends that I have here. I actually haven't been living here for very long. When my papa got a job the whole family moved here. My parents I think just wanted to get me into a different environment," Sarina laughed lightly. "Truth is when you came to this school I quickly latched onto you because I didn't have friends. I had started a fight within the first week I was here which caused some not to want to go near me because who knows many girls who actually can throw a proper punch. I have a bit of a nasty temper," Sarina said with a sigh.

[Jindai the Calm]

He only listened to her words smiling at what she said, her being so right about these things, learning from situations and adapting them for a healthy life style, she was thinking like him in a sense, maybe she got that thought around her head because of him, though she was exceptionally smart, and that made it all the more easy tot talk to her. The wind blew once again as his eyes opened once again, he laughed. "You aren't blind follow your instincts and you will know what to do."

"Interesting, nature will take its course and we will find a way, am I right in saying so?" He listened to her words more so, his hands went to his hat once more lowering it. "The twilight arises as the two lovers progress one another, the simple glance into the eyes as emotions run deep with each movement towards one another comes true within flickering lights of the moon, the lips become betwixt and both exchange their love for one anther." He sighed openly stretching his body backwards cracking his lean frame.

He still felt er head on his stomach as he felt her lips moving with the tongue across them, her story intriguing him. He began to pet her head slowly and smiled. "I haven't regretted our friendship since the day we met." He watched the skies now his eyes wide open as he talked, still petting her head. "Fighting is not always the answer Sarina-chan, you must have known that, or you wanted to act out." He smiled and arose her cheek to him. "It's ok to let out anger, but take it out on something such as an inanimate or none feeling object, not people nor animals."

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina smiled lightly as she enjoyed the breeze that had started to blow past them. She liked the feel of the wind brush against her skin. It really was peaceful here at the beach today. She was not a dumb girl she had some smarts to her. She just tend to do some things without thinking sometimes. "I will follow my instincts," Sarina said with a light smile. She usually was one who followed her instincts. Just sometimes she did not think before she acted. That was the only problem she had with herself. That was part of the reason she sometimes got into fights with others. Acting before thinking once again. It is just something that she was working on but still made some mistakes. She was starting to learn how to think before reacting. Another reason she kept around Jindai. He kept her out of trouble.

Sarina nodded her head. "Yes you are correct. I do believe nature would just happen to take its course," Sarina said. She never put much thought to those kind of things. She figured that if she were dating one then the first kiss would just come naturally. You can't plan those type of things after all. Sarina closed her eyes as she listened to Jindai speak about the passion between to lovers. When their lips meet with one another. Of course how Jindai explain things it had a more poetic sound to it. "You have a nicer way to explaining what I just said," Sarina said with a light laugh. She liked listening to Jindai. He was always a joy to listen to and she never knew how he might say things. It was always a surprise for her.

Sarina soon started to tell Jindai a little story about her that he did not hear from her before. She sighed happily when she felt him start to stroke her head slowly. "That makes me happy to hear. Sometimes I can be a bit of an handful," Sarina said as she glanced up towards the sky. There were times when she could be a bit on the unruly side of things and rather difficult to get along with then when she becomes grouchy. She frowned slightly at the mention that fighting was not the answer and that she should know that. She let him raise her cheek so she was looking to him. "If it was as simple as that I would not have the temper problem that I do have. I like you so you do not get on my nerves but there are those who do get on my nerves and know it so they push me. Since I was young I solved things much like how elementary boys solve things. Punch them out and then get over it," Sarina said with a sigh.

"I do not have the calm nature as you have," Sarina said with a weak smile. Sarina frowned slightly at the times that she had just tackled someone for when they hurt her feelings are became too much of a bother. "I thank you though Jin-Jin. There were times when your words calm me so I don't start a fight where it should not be started," Sarina said with a smile. Sarina rolled so she was laying on her side with her head still resting on Jindai's stomach. She was facing him looking up towards his face. "Does Jin-Jin ever become overly angry?" Sarina asked him.

[Jindai the Calm]

"Have I ever gotten angry is what you ask, on a serious note, I have never truly need to be angry, for one short burst their is the thought of becoming so stressed and enraged that you overwork and mess with your brain, so no, even at the most vile things I have never gotten angry." He pet her head with slow strokes as one hand was on the back of his head, he began to whisper. "Evil has no fury like a woman's scorn, but a woman's scorn can be her undoing..."

He said nothing as after a few minutes of talking he had decided to lay in her lap as he watched the seas, and the oceans in the sky, a whole kingdom filled with the clouds and the castles of kings in his own eyes. "Beauty besiege thee, how to recognize the seriousness of the world, to come to live where no mortal should dare, in the world of the heavens, lies a light of which no man should ever see..." He smiled at the warmness of her legs and thighs. "It's so nice to see that you are getting more used to the school, and have had less fights." He said happily.

"I need your beauty to keep me relaxed as well Sarina-chan." He closed his eyes beginning to lull to sleep, silently sighing and tiredly resting.

[Sarina Kikushi]

Sarina listened as Jindai explained that he never has gotten truly angry before. That was hard to believe. Sarina on the other hand knew she was easily angered often so she could not see when one does not become angry easily. She was rather surprised actually. But then again Jindai had always been rather calm around her. Even when she was getting a little hostile with some of the class mates he would tell her to calm down and she would listen to his words. Of course she would still be on edge but she at least did not tackle the other students to the ground anymore. It would be kind of hard to do with the school uniform that the girls had to wear. With the skirt and all. Made movements a little more difficult actually. "You are lucky. I often feel ashamed when I loose my temper after," Sarina said with a sigh. She wished she could solve that little problem that she had with herself. However it was part of what made her well here. Not everyone had control over their temper as others. "Women's scorn is going to be my undoing if I am not careful," Sarina said with a light giggle.

Soon Jindai had moved so that he was no longer her pillow but his head was resting in her lap. Sarina had sat up as she watched out over the water. She did not mind Jindai's head resting on her bare legs. She was resting her head on his stomach just a few moments ago. Now it was her turn as to lightly run her hand along his head through his hair. "Your hair is soft for a guy Jin-Jin," Sarina pointed out as she laughed lightly. Soon Jindai started to speak about the beauty of the nature around them. This place really was peaceful. She was glad she choose it for Jindai and herself to go to. She knew he would like it here. It meant he did not have to do any work and was able to relax all he wants. Just what he preferred. Sarina likes to choose things that they could do together that meant he would enjoy himself as well. Of course she made sure she was enjoying herself on top of that too. She was not going to bore herself to death. "....yes it is nice..." Sarina said softly. She was getting use to school more and was in less fights which was always a good thing for her at least.

Sarina blinked as she glanced down to Jindai. She blushed lightly at his words. "You keep saying words that just embarrass me," Sarina said as she shook her head. She was always not use to hearing things like beauty mixed with herself. It was like the same thing with what he said about her being in a swim suite. Sarina just kept on running her hand through Jindai's hair as she watched out towards the ocean. Since Jindai was going to sleep for a little bit Sarina grabbed her bag that held her clothes lifting up Jindai's head before moving her legs out from under him and laying his head down on the bag. Saeka was going to go for a quick swim to cool down because it was really warm out for her. She smiled at Jindai before she walked down to the water jumping into the waves. She had went under the water to make sure her hair was all wet before returning to the surface of the water.

After having a quick swim Sarina walked out of the water back to where Jindai was. She had picked up her extra towel she had to dry herself off a bit before she sat down next to Jindai. She smiled as she glanced down to Jindai. She ran her hand through his hair once again before she laid down beside Jindai once again. She glanced up towards the sky as she moved her toes slightly. She was rather enjoying this trip to the beach and now she was nice and cool because of her quick little swim.
