Neko stood in the Ninth Heaven, his hair combed and free of any blood though it was still somewhat dissheveled as normal, his calico cat ears swivveled around to pick up the sounds around him as he looked around for Duemi. He wore a black button down shirt and a pair of jeans, his feet covered with normal sneakers which were devoid of any brand name label or distinguishing features. His two cat tails twitched slightly as he stood there, wondering if Duemi would show up. The raven wasn't with him at the moment but Neko got a pep talk from the bird a little earlier which was actually quite comical to anyone who could understand it, though it was funny either way.
"Okay then, Neko! We need to come up with something so great she'll never forget it for the rest of her life!" the raven cawed as it paced and spoke in the tone as if he were a war general talking over battle strategies.
Neko stood straight as a board as he imitated the position as the cocky Private who was there to learn and his face showed he wasn't exactly sure if a raven would understand anything about dates, though then again the bird was hundreds of years old and might actually know something.
"Do you understand what I am saying?!? We NEED some kind of plan or strategy!" The bird exclaimed as he stopped in front of Neko, who instinctively performed a salute to the black feathered bird. The bird looked up at Neko, "Do you think this is some kind of game? Pull yourself together and stop saluting me like some kind of idiot! I'm a bird!" the raven cawed at Neko angrily. To the people passing by Neko had just saluted a fairly large and bad smelling crow and Neko let out an exhasperated sigh. "First of all you need to get cleaned up! Look at yourself!" The raven said.
Neko was honestly getting quite tired of this, "How about I try my idea?" he said, a little unsure of himself. When the raven got like this he was quite intimidating actually.
"You can try you're idea sure, but when it fails you'll wish you listened to my plaaann..." the raven said as he folded his wings and stared at Neko.
Neko nodded, "Okay then, see you later... Oh! I need your help with something so meet me at the Ninth Heaven maybe a few minutes beforehand, okay?" he said with a nod.
The raven rolled his eyes, obviously Neko wasn't the best at picking up on sarcasm but atleast this gave him a few hours of down time. He nodded and flitted away silently to leave Neko to figure out what the hell he was going to do for the date.
The raven flitted into the room and landed on Neko's shoulder, and cawed something at Neko. (remember, you guys really can't understand what the bird is saying...) Neko frowned and just pointed towards the kitchen while whispering something to the bird, just in case Duemi showed up early- though there was only about a minute or two before five o'clock. The bird nodded and flitted off to the kitchen, soon after loud music started playing in there which was accompanied with unhappy caws. The music was an orchestra of violins before being changed to something else, it sounded like Kiss or something of that sort. Neko rolled his eyes as he opened the door and shouted over the music, "Turn it down! And please don't mess up!" he said to the bird.
The bird responded back and it could be imagined that it was something like, "Come on, I know what I'm doing!" anyways, Neko nodded as the music quieted and he looked around for Duemi- worst case scenario was that Duemi had just seen and heard the whole catastrophe with the bird.

Duemi came down the hallway. She was wearing her specially constructed out fit. This consisted of a pair of flat black shoes, a black pair of jeans and a deep red shirt that had long sleeves and sat slightly off her shoulders. Lyra trailed behind. This did not make her to happy. They had an argument over this. It was like this.
Duemi had put on the finishing touches on her outfit. ‘I’m coming with you.’ Lyra said. ‘WHY?’ Duemi said irritably. ‘If something bad happens, you know his school is weird, I want to be close to help. After what happened to Neko… I’m a little worried…’ ‘You don’t need to be worried about me.’ Duemi pointed out. ‘I don’t care. I WILL come.’ ‘But that is embarrassing!’ Duemi said angrily. ‘Your acting like a worried mother!’ Lyra looked slightly hurt. ‘Look Lyra, I don’t want you there because it could give the wrong impression.’ ‘Will you at least let me stay out by the door?’ Lyra asked. After Duemi saw she had hurt Lyras feelings a second ago, she couldn’t say no. ‘Fine. You can come. If you stay outside. Only come in if I ask you to.’ Lyra nodded. ‘Fair enough.’
Duemi was still embarrassed that Lyra had come, but hoped Neko wouldn’t think anything of it. Lyra settled herself but the door. “So Neko, What do you have planed for our dinner tonight?” Duemi asked walking up to Neko.

Neko smiled, "It's a suprise!" He said excitedly- he had put alot of thought into this. "Cover your eyes and I'll take you there!" he said with a nod, his eyes glancing towards the kitchen where the raven now sat, messing around with a radio dial with it's beak which wasn't as easy as it sounded. He was ready to lead Duemi into the kitchen and barely seemed to notice Lyra since right now everything was all about making Duemi happy, atleast to him that was what everything was about. His bright green eyes blinked with happiness right now when he was with Duemi, obviously the raven had said more in his pep talk than was mentioned previously since he was certainly a heck of alot less nervous now.

Duemi closed her eyes and shuffled into the room. She wanted to open her eyes and see what there was but she kept her eyes firmly shut. She inhaled deeply trying to pick out any distinct scents that could give away what there was. She thought she could smell cheese but it was indistinct because of many other unknown items in the room.

Neko brought Duemi into the kitchen, he flicked on the lightswitch which revealed the various items that littered the counter which were in glass bowls, the largest bowl was empty but there was a bowl of flour, salt, sugar, and yeast, as well as several other bowls which held tomato sauce, pepperonis, tomatoes, sausage, olives, pesto sauce, mushrooms, peppers, chicken, sardines even, as well as twenty different kinds of cheeses which ranged from golden cheddar to white parmesan, even crumbly feta!
The raven cawed from some hidden location as the music switched from radio station to radio station before stopping on some song sung by The Goo Goo Dolls, the music sounded through the kitchen.
"Cause I'll stay with you The walls will fall before we do So take my hand now, we'll run forever I can feel the storm inside you..."
On the counter next to the refrigerator there was a few more ingredients which included heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, chocolate, whipped cream, marachino cherries, sprinkles, and various other small candies, two cookbooks were on the counter- one open to a pizza recipe and the other open to a recipe for ice cream- an ice cream machine was behind the books of course. "You can open your eyes now..." He said with a smile on his face. He hoped Duemi liked pizza... and he hoped she wasn't opposed to cooking, it seemed like a brilliant idea previously but now it seemed kinda lame.

Duemi opened her eyes. Her hands flew to her mouth in surprise. She saw the many ingredients, both for pizza and ice cream. Her hands returned to her sides to revel a huge smile on Duemis face. “So we get to MAKE our food? Your lucky I like pizza. And ice cream of course.” Duemi said in a joking tone. She thought it was a really sweet idea that Neko had. She had been on many dates but never had she been on one like this. This date was defiantly unique.

Neko let out a long breath of relief, "Soooo then..." He said as he walked over towards the counter, he opened up a cabinet and withdrew two chef's hats. He poofed them up and plopped one on his head and set the other one on Duemi. "Shall we get started?" he asked as he glanced at the cookbook, he hoped this would turn out okay since he wasn't exactly the worlds best cook. His green eyes glittered as he scanned over the recipe really quick. "1 teaspoon instant rapid rise yeast 3 cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, plus extra for sprinkling 1 to 1 1/4 cups water 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil"
He read the ingredients aloud and he looked accross the counter for measuring cups, his gaze moving between the different bowls. From where Duemi stood the measuring cups could be seen plainly as Neko searched for them.

Duemi smiled as she watched Neko searching for measuring the measuring cup. She spotted them easily. She grabbed them and dangled them inches from Nekos face. “Are you looking for these?” She asked in a teasing tone.

Neko smirked as he looked up at Duemi, his bright green eyes sparked as he reached for the measuring cups. "So what? You have powers over everything lost or something?" He asked playfully as his ears flicked slightly, he laughed slightly as he looked at all the ingredients, they had some work to do... hopefully the pizza would turn out a good as the pizza illistrated in the cookbook.

“I don’t have power over missing things.” Duemi said in a humorous tone “I have to amazing power of- this may scare you- sight.” Duemi said dramatically. She looked at the ingredients in the bowl. It had a paste like composure. Duemi smiled evilly before she scoped a finger full of the mixture and wiped it off on Nekos nose. She bust out laughing at the sight of the off white streak on Nekos nose.

Neko looked up at Duemi and smiled, he took a small bit of flour and flicked it in her direction playfully as he wiped the dough off his nose and tasted it, not half bad actually. He saw where this was developing, next thing he'd know there'd be a food fight- that sounded like fun actually. They had plenty of ammo atleast!

Duemi squealed happily as she was hit by the dough. She scooped some cheese out of a bowl and looked around for the sauce. Finding it, she promptly mixed it with the cheese and flung it at Neko. She grabbed a bowl of finely ground cheese and a spoon and dove behind a counter. It seemed to her that there would be no way they would get the pizza done at this rate. But who cared? This ways WAY more fun. Meanwhile Out side the door, Lyra sat. She couldn’t hear what was being said from the other side of the door, but she could sense Duemis happiness. This made Lyra happy as well. She purred and sat her head on her paws and began to drift to sleep.

Neko opened his mouth to say something but before he could the concoction splattered on his face and into his mouth- not half bad actually but that was completely besides the point. He wiped it away from his eyes as he grabbed the bowl of pepperoni and ducked behind the counter and slowly edged to where he thought Duemi was, his green eyes glinted brightly.
The raven watched for a few moments but the second sauce was brought into this he was in the cabinet and avoiding anything that could get onto his feathers- was not looking foreward to that!

Duemi popped her head out behind the counter. She saw Nekos head and sent a flurry of cheese at him. Not surprisingly, the cheese was not intended to be used as a long distance weapon. As the cheese left the spoon it separated and fell as a cloud far from its intended target. Duemi reached up on the counter and grabbed the sauce. It worked well before. Duemi mixed the sauce into the cheese and loaded it onto the spoon. She pulled back on the spoon and released it like a catapult.

The sauce hit Neko square on the heart and he made choking noises before falling onto the floor, lifeless, motionless- well, all except the slight twitching of his right eyebrow but that was besides the point. His arm wrapped around the bowl of pepperonis and in his other hand he held a few of them, as well as some dough. A smirk was accross his face as he lay there as if he were dead.
The bird watched from the cabinets with a truly confused look on his face, 'these people really are insane, aren't they?' he asked himself with a laugh. He'd known a large quantity of insane people in his life actually and knew they were just having fun.
