The following morning, Jason woke up on his couch again since Nyotengu decided to stay at his apartment in the meantime.
"Good morning, cutie." Nyotengu said, coming in from the bath with a towel wrapped around her hourglass figure.
"Good morn-" Jason was about to reply until he noticed that she was only wearing a towel. "Aren't you afraid of that towel falling off? It looks like it's barely staying up."
"Not really, but I bet you'd like it if my towel fell off, wouldn't you?" Nyotengu asked, seductively placing her finger within the towel wrap as if she was about to take it off, all while playfully licking her lips.
Jason looked away while blushing. "I… I'm not gonna lie."
"Heheheheh, you're too easy to tease." Nyotengu giggled and provocatively tilted his head toward her with her finger. "It only makes you cuter."
"Could… could you please put some clothes on?"
"Very well."
After treating her to a meal the previous night, they went clothes shopping to find her normal clothes to wear on their date. Nyotengu went into the bathroom to change into a red and black halter top so her wings would be free and purple pants.
"So, what do you have in mind for our date?" She asked.
"A walk in the park?!" She exclaimed.
Both of them were in the park where they had first met.
"Your idea of a first date is a walk in the park?" She questioned.
"I figured a serene, quiet place would be helpful in getting to know each other." Jason said. "And the simple dinner-and-a-movie seemed a little too mundane, especially for someone who is anything but mundane."
"I suppose I'll give you credit putting a lot of effort into this. And for someone who hasn't had a date before, that's actually quite impressive. But you better impress me if you want this courtship to continue."
"So, anything you'd like to tell me about yourself?"
"Not much that you don't know. I'm a female tengu and I love fighting and defeating powerful humans. That's why I was searching for you in the first place. I thought you were one of those humans."
"Well, to be fair I'm half human. My mother was human and my father was kitsune."
"Where exactly did you learn to fight?"
"I just came up with it myself. I like to get creative with the fact I'm half human and half kitsune and apply that to my style of fighting."
"And yet you still held your own against me. I have to say, I'm very impressed."
"Now back to you. Anything else I should know?"
She looked down while they walked for a moment. "Yes, there's a certain ninja who killed Bankotsubo. I came to this world for revenge."
"Wasn't he a tengu that fled to the human world because he was a criminal in his own?"
"Yes, that does turn you off?"
"No, I'm just a little perplexed, that's all. From what I've seen, you're nothing like Bankotsubo. You just seem like you're here to have fun."
"Hmhm, well that part is true."
"But if that's your goal, I won't stop you."
"Okay, your turn. You've lived for over 60 years and never even attempted to mate with anyone, even a human. And now you're asking me out on a date. I would like to know your reasoning."
"Guess I can't hide it anymore. As a half-kitsune, I age very slowly. I could even say that I'm immortal from an aging standpoint."
"So?"
Jason remained silent for a moment until he let out a very noticeable sigh. "It's just that… Whoever I marry is going to die long before I do and I… can't deal with that again."
"Again?"
"When my mother died…" Jason stopped as if he was trying to hold back his tears. "Let's just say it was painful and made me realize I would have to go through the same thing again if I married a human."
"So that's why you decided to ask me out."
"So you've figured it out. Since both of us are immortal, I found an opportunity. But before I jump to any conclusions, I want to see if you're the type of person I'd want to spend the rest of my life with."
"Glad to know you're not shallow like most other men I've met. Usually they just ogle me and, to be honest, they bore me."
"I can understand that. That's actually another reason why I don't just hire prostitutes, neither as a form of practice or to relieve my sexual urges. I just feel it would be boring. I know that sounds weird coming from a virgin, but that's honestly how I feel."
"Hmhm…" She giggled.
"Heh, yeah, this isn't a typical topic for a normal date."
"What fun is that? The two of us aren't normal, right?"
Jason simply smiles with a light chuckle before looking up at the clear blue sky. "Beautiful day out today, isn't it?"
"Clear skies are always enjoyable for us tengu. It makes it easier for us to fly."
"I always imagined what it would be like to fly. The freedom and sense of danger must be incredibly exhilarating."
"Maybe I'll take you flying sometime."
"Thank you for offering. I'll be sure to take you up on that."
Later that night, Jason and Nyotengu returned to his apartment after their day at the park.
"Despite the mundane choice of activity, I'm pleasantly surprised." She said. "So, since you chose today's date, may I choose tomorrow's?"
"What do you have in mind?" Jason asked.
"I've never been to a 'movie' before. I know we won't have much time to talk, but I'm interested in seeing one."
"All right, looks like we're heading to the theater tomorrow."
"There's just one thing I want to do before I go to bed."
"What's that?"
Nyotengu walked up to Jason and started kissing him. He could feel her tongue lick around both of their lips and try to play around with his. So he returned the favor and kissed her back, playing around with her tongue as they both explored each other's mouths. It was getting incredibly heated until she suddenly broke the kiss.
"Always leave them wanting more." She said with a wink and a lick of her lips. "And you're a pretty good kisser."
She made her way to the bed and lied down on it to rest for the night. Jason looked at her for a few seconds before going into the bathroom so he could clean himself.
A/N: I feel like I got a really good idea for this story and the way I portray the interactions between Jason and Nyotengu feel legitimately genuine without anything feeling OOC. I will bring up the whole revenge on Hayabusa thing later on and it will actually be a major turning point in the story. Anyway, to anyone who's reading this, I hope you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for next time!
