Hey everyone! I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter posted. I've had major writer's block with half of this chapter.

To GoldenLombaxGirl: Well, that kind of fun won't come until a bit later.

To karina00: I believe that's at least three, if not four books that he's been hit with. Lol. Ryanna has a really good aim, as previously mentioned.

To sanguineoverlord: Sorry it's taken so long. You know how it is when the muse doesn't want to cooperate.

To Guest: Hehe. Glad you like what I made him into. Here's the new chapter.

I don't make any profit from this fic! This is purely for entertainment and fun! Most characters belong to Katsura Hoshino. The rest of them belong to me!

Chapter 4 – The First Date

The word to describe the following few hours was 'stressful'.

Ryanna had eventually managed to shower and eat some breakfast, getting dressed into a white peasant blouse with an Egyptian blue vest overtop it, and her skinny jeans from the day before. While brushing out her hair, she only half listened to her ipod-speakers, vaguely listening to Queen's 'Somebody to Love' as it played, more focused on trying to wrap her head around what had happened earlier. She'd summoned a demon, more precisely an Incubus. She'd unintentionally wished for said Incubus to stay and be her boyfriend. And now she had to find a way to void the contract that had formed which offered up her soul as payment. Still, for now, the blonde teen would just have to deal with it until a solution could be found. There was really nothing else that she could do in the current situation.

Heading downstairs, Ryanna was still somewhat lost in her thoughts as she made her way to the living room. The blonde teen quietly glanced over at her new boyfriend, (it still felt strange to call him that) seeing him sitting on the large sofa, channel surfing for something that would possibly catch his interest.

Kanda stared at the television set with practically no interest. Cooking shows, boring. Sports, yawn. Some movie involving high speed car chases, no thanks. He clicked through a few more channels. Politics, not interested. An animated cartoon involving talking animals, childish. A vampire movie, how corny. The Incubus just snorted as if insulted by the human society's interpretation of demons and other dark beings. "You humans actually watch these mindless things?" He asked boredly as he heard Ryanna re-enter the living room. A few more channels and he finally gave up, turning the television off. "Didn't you say this thing was supposed to be entertaining?"

"Well, it's supposed to be. Can't control everything about it, unfortunately. Time and days can usually dictate what's showing on what channels." Ryanna said, shrugging lightly. "If you don't want to watch TV, then I guess we can always go out and do something in town."

"Something more entertaining than this thing?" The incubus muttered a bit. He shrugged ever so slightly as he turned to look at Ryanna. "What do you have in mind?"
"It's called a television. So unless you want to watch a movie then yeah. We can go out and I can show you the town, since you are going to be stuck here for a while." The teen girl said.
Kanda just frowned. "Don't remind me." The demon hated being reminded that he couldn't return. Not unless the deal was fulfilled, or somehow nulled.

"Well, do you want to go outside or not? There are a lot more options but…" Ryanna trailed off. Her parents had left her money that was primarily intended for food. Not for shopping or fooling around at things like movies. Granted, there was still plenty for her to enjoy herself, since her brother had left all the money when his friends took him out of state.
"But what?" Kanda asked. "Going out anywhere is better than staying here." He added.
"Well, there's an issue of money. I can't just blow it all on anything in town. My parents are going to be back by Sunday night, so I need to make it last." Ryanna explained. "So, that means I can show you around but buying anything may be limited."

"Why not just summon a demon of wealth?" Kanda suggested, as if the answer had been obvious. "If you wish for enough to last you a week or month, the price won't be that bad."
"Are you completely nuts?! Summoning you even by accident was bad enough for me. I'm not about to sell of the rest of my body to other demons." Ryanna snapped.
"Humph. I was attempting to help, but if you don't want the help, it's fine by me." He shrugged as he stood up, stretching.

"Well, it doesn't sound like you're trying to help me." Ryanna said, blushing as she watched him stand up. "First and foremost, you need to change your clothes. You look like some sort of male stripper."
"I'm an Incubus. We're supposed to look like this." He walked over to Ryanna with a smug smirk on his lips. "We're supposed to attract attention, to stir up desire and longing. To make women like you lose their minds over us." He said the last parts in a seductive whisper as he leaned in close.[1]

The human girl felt her heart speed up and her face flush at his seductive whisper. "Y-yeah. Well, you have a girlfriend now. And you're not supposed to be attracting other women." Ryanna pointed out, somewhat glad that she'd wished for a 'faithful' boyfriend. Incubus or not, at least he wouldn't go sleeping around with other women.
Kanda simply stood up straight again. "Don't forget, tempting women is what I do. It's part of my nature. It's how I survive." He reminded the mortal woman.

"Tempt them all you want. You're mine." Ryanna said, her tone surprisingly possessive for a moment. "I-it's part of my wish, remember?" She added, trying to hide her tone.
"Then it's your responsibility to feed me. And I don't mean human food." Kanda smirked. He had noticed the possessive tone in her voice. He could sense she was already feeling the full effects of her wish. Both good and bad.
"…You can eat human food, can't you?" She asked, honestly curious if he could eat something other than energy.
"I can, but I've never really had to." He shrugged casually. "I've heard Incubi, and demons in general, can eat human food. But we Incubi thrive on energy. Personally, I've never stayed long enough other than a simple dinner date, but even that is cut short half the time to get to the 'main event'."

"Well, now you can. Since you're going to be here for some time." Ryanna said, taking a few steps back. "Anyways, do you need to actually change your clothes or can you… Ya know? Magic it yourself?"
"Magic." Kanda said simply, as though the answer were obvious. "But removing it is done the long way." He whispered in her ear, reaching behind her and tugging lightly at the bottom of her shirt. He was a bit hungry, but his intent had been to make her nervous, or piss her off, whichever came first.

"Kn-knock it off. It's not even noon." Ryanna said, her face turning a deeper shade of red as she put her hands on his perfectly defined chest. Kanda himself had been the one to point out that she was a virgin, and she wasn't ready to just jump into a bed to change that fact.

"There's no such thing as a wrong time." He continued to whisper. The demon wondered how much she could take until either she gave up, or put great effort into putting some distance between them. If he was stuck with her, he might as well try to have some fun out of this from time to time. His hand moved under her shirt and moved one finger lightly up her back.

"S-stop it." Ryanna said a bit more firmly. She shut her eyes tightly, pushing him away as best as she could.
Kanda sighed at her reaction. "You really are still a virgin." In a swirl of dark power, his clothing had changed to something less obvious. A red tshirt, black jeans, a black leather jacket and black boots covered his body, hiding most of his skin but giving off that dangerous but sexy appeal that many women loved. His demon horns vanished, and his ears had rounded out to that of a human's. "Better?" He asked her, not that he felt he needed her approval regardless.

"That's not funny, Kanda." Ryanna said, opening her eyes and quietly approving of his new look. "I mean it. Too many men nowadays don't care if a girl wants sex or not. They'll just rape her regardless. Then they'll make claims like 'Oh, she was asking for it' or 'she wanted it'. "
"I just wanted to see how long it would take until you cracked." The demon shrugged. "I wasn't really trying to get you to give up your body."

"Don't do it again," Ryanna said with a small glare. She didn't want to admit it but the demon had done a good job of getting her hot and bothered at least. But she wasn't the type of girl to just jump into bed with a guy. Let alone a demon. "Let me get my purse and sunglasses and then we can go."

"I'd never force myself on a woman. I'm not that type of man." Kanda told her calmly. He could see her start to visibly relax at his words, as if comforted by them. 'But that doesn't mean I can't tease you.' He added to himself.

The demon's words did calm the girl down a little. But she knew that sooner or later they would have to 'consummate the deal'. "Do you know what a car is?" Ryanna asked, as she gathered her things to head out. While it was just her, she didn't mind using her bike to get to and from town. But if she was going to drag her new boyfriend around town, it was better to call a taxi.
"I know what a car is." Kanda said. Although he had never been in one. "Why do you ask? Is that how we're getting to...wherever you have in mind?"

"We can go into town and just wander around from there. So I'll call a taxi. ...When was the last time you came to this... realm?" The mortal dared to ask him. Even though Kanda looked to be close to her own age, maybe 20 at best, Ryanna didn't doubt that he had to be a lot older than he really appeared to be.
"I don't remember. It's been awhile." He shrugged, not bothering to really think about it. "I don't make it a regular vacation spot. So I don't really bother to keep track of my visits."
Ryanna rolled her eyes slightly, heading to the front door. "Well, I'll be glad to show you around town, as I already said." She repeated, leading the demon outside.

The trip into town had been short and pleasant enough. The pair dropped off at Main Street and wandered up and down the street, the human girl giving small history lesson as they walked. She pointed out a few particular places as they passed, though why she wasn't entirely sure. She could tell that Kanda was not interested at all. While she had tried to make things feel like a date between them, the tension between the pair made it obvious to Ryanna that this was almost anything but a date between a couple. They walked down the street and let the girl admire some of the store displays but little else.

Somewhere close to an hour later, Kanda grumbled as he and Ryanna sat in an Asian food restaurant. The incubus looked completely and utterly bored as he glanced around the establishment. It was decorated in a typical Oriental style with some statues of Buddha and a few Lucky Cat statues at the register. He was mildly impressed with a live koi pond in the style of a miniature waterfall towards one section of the place. It was unexpected if anything. After another few moments, his eyes glanced at the menu in front of him. "Tch."
"Make all the annoyed sounds you want, Kanda, you're not leaving until I have some lunch," Ryanna said, frowning ever so slightly at her new boyfriend. "You may only need energy to survive, but I need actual food. And it wouldn't hurt you to try something."

"I don't need anything," the incubus said in a rather curt tone. Despite himself, he began to take a sip of the green tea he had ordered when they had sat down. If nothing else, he had a slight appreciation for the flavor and could tolerate it as a drink every now and then.
"Even if you don't need it, you can at least try it. I can't give you your usual and preferred food all the time, so you're going to have to learn to make do with human foods in the meantime." Ryanna looked back at her own menu, taking a long sip of her ice-free Coke as she did so.

Kanda put down his cup and studied the blonde. On the one hand, he wanted to argue about the fact, yet again, that it was her fault he was stranded in the Human Realm and as such it was her job to care for him. Yet, on the other hand, she did make a point earlier that she was not ready for a full intercourse, and Kanda had openly stated he would not force himself upon her to feed himself.
One thing he hated was depending on others for anything. And now he was bound to a virgin girl, who could not only fully summon demons but even bypassed some of the usual 'stages' of summoning. That train of thought caught Kanda completely off guard. It was something that he had somehow overlooked during the past hours. Normally, summoning a demon to the Human Realm required the demon to first appear in a spiritual form, restricting their powers to the bare minimums of their species. After that, their physical body would pass through the realms, regaining their powers in the process. And such a process could take weeks, even months, depending on the strength of the summoner. And yet, Ryanna had managed to call him, a high-ranking demon, who was also a warrior in the Black Order on top of that, with only a few drops of blood? For a flash of an instant, Kanda held something akin to fear of the human woman. Such natural talent meant one of two things. One, that it was just that, natural talent and a huge amount of dumb luck. Or two, that the girl was a descendant of powerful magical heritage.

The latter would be more difficult to determine if that were the case. While Kanda wasn't one to recall vast amounts of knowledge like the idiot rabbit was, he did always pay attention to details when it came to certain things. Summoners and mages in the Human World were one of them. And he remembered that many powerful magical families had all but died out by the end of the 19th century. 'About one in ten families today can still use the magical skills their ancestors could,' the redhead had mentioned once. The dark haired Incubus made a mental note to do some research into the girl's family when they returned to her house. If even one of her parents had magical lineage, that would at least start to explain things. He would've been rather annoyed if the teenager had natural talent. But still, to be able to call an S-rank demon like himself, in full physical form, with all of his powers intact, in a summoning ritual that she did as a mere joke?! Kanda shuddered at the thought of it. Heritage or not, this meant that Ryanna had powerful magic of her own, and clearly knew nothing about it. That, in and of itself, would make the female a target for the Akuma and the Noah clan. That thought caused Kanda to audibly growl in frustration.

He hadn't even really stopped to consider how he was going to keep fighting Akuma if he was bound to a human. He'd never heard of such an instance happening before. Kanda made a note to get a message to Bookman for some help and find out if this had ever happened before. With any luck, the older demon would at least know of something to explain Ryanna's power, or how to break their deal. Or, with a lot of luck, both. Still, how was the Incubus to explain about Akuma, the Black Order and his enemies to her? As anti-social as he was, he had his own responsibility to keep her safe, since they were now bound together whether he liked it or not, and he most assuredly did not like it in the least. Still, the thought of the Akuma, the Noah Clan and worst of all, the Millennium Earl, caused him to frown, growling ever so slightly. While he personally felt that she had no reason to know about the war between the Earl and the Order, Kanda was no fool. He knew that sooner or later, Ryanna would not only see an Akuma, she more than likely would be attacked by one. Her contract with him marked her with a bull's-eye for his enemies.

"…nda? Kanda? ….KANDA!" Ryanna shouted, snapping the Incubus out of his deep thoughts, almost spilling his tea.
"What?" He snapped, half-glaring at the blonde girl in response to her shout.
"…The waitress has been waiting to take your order," The girl said, crossing her arms. 'What the hell was he thinking about that made him half-deaf to me for a good three minutes?' She thought to herself with a mild pout and low growl of her own.

Kanda looked at the waitress with a bored expression. No doubt another human woman who was eyeing him up like a piece of meat to pounce upon. He could feel the desire radiating off of her like a heat. Normally, he would have been more than willing to indulge himself and feed on the free energy. But now, he couldn't. Looking at the menu again, he pointed to a random food choice. The waitress looked over at his selection before jotting it down and leaving the table, and the couple.

"You wanna talk about it?" Ryanna asked once the other woman as gone, taking another sip of her soda while resting her elbows on the table. She could care less about manners for the moment.
"Talk about what? I didn't say a thing," Kanda said, crossing his arms and leaning back into his seat.
"My point exactly. You were so deep in thought about something that you were zoning out," The blonde said, frowning again but looking genuinely concerned all the same. "So what were you thinking about?"

The demon just scoffed, looking away from her and glancing in the direction of the koi pond. "It's none of y-" He stopped himself, rethinking his statement. Technically, it was her business. It concerned her safety if nothing else. He wouldn't bring up the issue of her potential magic until he had more evidence to support his theory. But as far as his job as a hunter, that was her concern and her business. Begrudgingly, he looked across the table at the purple eyed girl. "…I will tell you about it when we get back to your house." His tone was slightly less 'leave me the hell alone' than normal.
Ryanna simply blinked in surprise for a few moments. He was actually going to tell her? That was shocking. "Uh, okay." He was going to tell her. She could leave the topic alone for the time being.

The rest of lunch seemed to fly by rather quickly. It wasn't long before their waitress returned with drink refills before bringing out their meals. Ryanna had ordered a deluxe sushi plate, to indulge in her love of seafood. Kanda, shockingly enough to both of them, found himself enjoying the soba he had randomly picked out. There was a point when Ryanna swore that her eyes were going to bulge out of her head. Kanda not only ate and finished his plate but ordered a second helping. The blonde girl made a note to pick up some instant soba in the next few days to keep her boyfriend satisfied in the meantime. 'Well, at least I found something that he'll eat without complaining.'

By the time they finished eating and where ready to leave, Kanda felt a bit strange. Why, he had no idea. The Incubus just brushed it off as his body trying to get used to human food. However, as Ryanna paid for their meals, the demon had to partially admit that something was most assuredly off about him. But what? Why? It didn't make any sense. Placing a hand to his forehead, he didn't find anything off about his body temperature, but he did find the slightly cool breeze that greeted them as they left the restaurant and headed outside very welcoming.

It wasn't long after they began to head down the sidewalk that the demon felt what could only be described as a pain in his stomach. Kanda stopped in mid-step, shutting his eyes for a moment as it felt like his head was genuinely spinning. His throat suddenly felt dry and scratchy, as though he had been dehydrated for days or weeks. Why, why did he feel… sick? He never got sick. He couldn't get sick. So why did it seem like his stomach was ready to rebel against him somehow?

He couldn't think straight. For a few moments, he was almost sure he couldn't even breathe. His vision began to turn black.

The last thing Kanda remembered was seeing Ryanna all but screaming his name as he passed out on the sidewalk.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this. Date scenes are not my strong point so I really suffered with this chapter. It really took me FOR-EV-ER to get this damn chapter finished. -facedesk- I hope you all appreciate how I suffer for this fic for you guys!

[1] Okay, yes, I know Kanda seems rather OOC in this chapter. But try to keep in mind, as he pointed out, he's an Incubus. He needs to seduce and attract women to get sexual energy from them in order to survive. So while he is still his usual sour, grouchy self, when he's around women, his 'survival instincts' tend to kick in and make him a real charmer.

So, in regards to the Earl and the Noahs, we'll learn more about them soon enough. I just need to iron out the details of how to explain the way they work in this fic-world.
Please review! Reviews give me motivation to write! So do follows!
See ya all next time!
