She leaned back on the couch, currently wearing a sleeveless t-shirt, along with a miniskirt that goes halfway down her thigh, and some sandals. As she sat there relaxing, the chime sounded, and she got up to answer the door.

The door opened and surprise to the young Chief Assistant of Science this was not the woman he was looking for. In his sleep derived state of the night before he mistakenly rang the door of Lt. Kikari. Her outfit made the young and shy Ensign blush. He was defiantly not prepared for this encounter. Memories of young heroines of his beloved Japanese games and shows began to breeze through his mind. His true intention was to hand over the PADD report of the shield diagnostics to Lt. Mandelo.
"Sorry to disturb you ma'am. I must of been turned around looking for Lt. Mandelo's quarters." he stuttered, her presence was infecting his youthful innocents.
He was about to turn to leave but something inside him prevented him.

She looked up at the young man, nodding at what he had to say. "Not a problem, you look like you could use some sleep though." She said, smiling at him.

Her smile, his faced blushed redder than before. She was both cute and intoxicatingly beautiful. She saw right through him. Indeed he was tired but due to his nature of responsibility he sacrificed a few nights for his duties on the ship, and his little side project.
"Yeah, been stuck in the science lab for a good day before finishing my task while assisting the crewmen with theirs." Before encountering the Lt. he did not notice his fatigue, his fortitude and concentration on the task shielded those feelings of weakness but before her smile he was vulnerable. It was then his stomach growled its protest as well.
It just occurred to him that he had not eaten all day.

"Doing your work is good and all, but rest and relaxation have their places to." she said, getting up and walking over to the replicator, "Come on in and have a seat, would you like something?" she said again with a smile,

"I do not wish to impose," he was about to decline her offer when that same heart controlling smile returned, his apparently only weakness. Not to be rude he accepted her offer of hospitality and sat down near the dining room table.
"A fig, please." His heart was pounding, he didn't have much experience with the opposite sex especially in the Academy where he mostly kept to himself. He hoped the calm memories of home associated with the small fruit will ease his pounding heart.
With all his experience and knowledge of the many realms identities of the holodeck he did not have a role, a chracter to play. Nor a costume to give him the courage to press on. He looked down upon his worn out uniform, it was disfigured folds ever which way and stains? He then recalled the little incident with a rookie crewman and his chemical mishap.
It was then it hit him, he does have a costume to fall upon. His uniform contained the experience and leadership qualities of a starfleet officer. His role was that of Chief Assistant of Science for the USS Enterprise, the finest ship in the entire fleet. His new role decided and costume equipped he was ready to cosplay. He looked up only to find Miss. Hikari's smile waiting for him.
Then again the role he was playing was nothing more then his weak hearted self, his new found courage was quickly phased away.

"You're half-asleep and worn out, and you say you don't want to impose? you need to eat." she laughed slightly, getting him two figs and some water to go with them while getting a small glass of some non-alcoholic brandy that she liked, sitting back down on the couch across from his seat. "So, I'm Lieutenant Hikari, but in here you can just call me Makoto. What's your name?" she asked with a smile, her eyes energetic but having a soft look towards him

"Thank you." The Ensign said as Lt. Hikari placed the small meal in front of him.
"My name is Andrew," a pause "Ensign Andrew Figueroa." he then noticed her eyes, they were warm and welcoming. Her eyes felt hypnotic, one could be lost at how deep it went. His head shook as if coming out of the trance he look towards the two small fruits in front of him.
Something inside him prevented his advance for the food supplement. One side felt it was rude or impolite to eat in front of such a lady, but his stomach regained control and made his way for the small fruit. He stared at it's green earthly skin before taking a small bite along the edge. The familiar mild taste returned to his tongue but the memories were not there.
His mind was to focus on the now. His heart was affected though. It began to calm.

"Well its nice to meet you Andrew-kun, I hope the meal is to your liking." She said, leaning back on the couch and looking at him, hoping that he felt comfortable, but mainly glad that she cheered him up a little. Her first impression of him was being young and shy, but his shyness was cute.

"It's nice to meet you too, Makoto-san." The suffix of -san, -chan, and -kun are honorific titles one adds to a name, each one having a different meaning. Due to his interest in Japanese culture more specifically television and games he knew some of the very basics of basics on the Japanese language.
Though it did not make him an expert or a fluent speaker of the language. More like a infant saying his or her's first words.
He was briefed on the name, picture and rank of the entire Senior Staff of the ship before leaving Starbase 135. Unfortunately that was all he knew. There was such a mix up at command about his first assignment. Originally he was supposed to be stationed on Jupiter Station but was transferred at the last second to the Enterprise. He got on board just seconds before the vessel began it's journey to the unknown.
He did not want to remain quiet and appear rude or uninterested so he began to formulate basic questions such as "What do you do?" or "What do you like to do in your spare time?" but as he opened his mouth to speak he was unable to form words. He quickly took another bite of the fruit to allow him to focus.

She took another sip of the brandy as she looked at him again, noting how he bit down on the fruit again. Poor thing, so shy and all, she thought, before speaking again, "Since I heard you were a last minute transfer, I'll go ahead and tell you a thing or two. I'm the Chief Intelligence Officer aboard this ship. Much of what I do is classified, but suffice it to say I do my part for the greater good. When off-duty I like to cook, sing, along with some other things and sometimes in the past I've modeled." she said with a smile.

Her persona changed for a second during her speech, her tone did not change neither did her body betray this change. It was her presence that changed. Before she was like a school girl calm and gentle but in that split second a sense of authority and power emerged. Her smile reappeared dismissing this other presence in my mind.
"You modeled?" indeed the proof was all ready in front of him, her very existence gave proof to that fact. It was the disbelief of a superior officer or guardian doing something outside of the known norm. Indeed all he knew was she is a Starfleet officer.

"Yes, I did. Still have the pictures of it too. I joined Starfleet, but I didn't let Starfleet take me over. While I may be a Starfleet officer...I'm still a woman." she said.

He was drinking the glass of water while Makoto began her explanation. The poor Ensign began to cough as she finished her line. It seemed at the mention of the word woman quickly made him revert to his naive self causing water to go down his wind pipe. The attack was short lived. He stated he was all right replying to Makoto's concern.
Indeed at the Academy there was plenty of free time to pursue other interests, but his was in his study of cybernetics and trips on the Holo-deck. He never actually "left" the academy while he studied there. He could have pursued a relationship or made new friends but... He decided to change the subject.
"You sing as well? If you don't mind I would enjoy a demonstration," He quickly added "if you do not mind of course."
Indeed he was curious, so far her voice has been gentle, soft and sweet he wanted to know how different if at all was her singing voice.

OOC: Its not a full length song, just a favorite one of hers that she used to sing.
"I don't mind." she said, standing, turning to the computer, "Enterprise, play file Hikari-2." "Affirmative." The beginnings of a song began to play, a somewhat fast paced one with a beat to it, and she handed him a Padd. "Read this as I sing, you'll be able to understand it." Then she stepped back, her feet squared to the side as she began to sing in her native tongue, but thanks to the Padd, the Ensign was able to understand what she was saying. After she finished she bowed lightly to him.
What was said...in English. Without a single lie, Without a single regret, ...I wondered if such a day existed? I stopped wondering the day I met you "You're no longer alone." You are the only one. The only one who felt for me... That's right! Just you! only your heart You were the one who gave me wings when I wasn't able to fly And so you made me free, right? When I close my eyes I can feel you Just you being there... Each time the wind blows, the Earth seems to smile When you're before my eyes... ...or gone or when my eyes are closed, I always feel you by my side You were the one who gave me wings when I wasn't able to fly And so you taught me about love, right? When I see heaven's skies in your eyes After the evening rains, the sky... ...when our smiles are added, a large rainbow blooms.
