Disclaimer: I'm tired...It's 12:30 AM right now...Sorry for the short chappy. I just saw up to twenty, which I had already seen before on TV. The first episode I ever saw to be honest. It hooked me instantly and I had a mad rush to see the rest of the series. Currently working on that, still. This is prob. my second/thrird fav show.
Kantaro held on to Yomi, the white goblin's, Sugino, daughter. The woman trying, and succeeding, to seduce him. She looked at him curiously. He pulled her back down. She sat next to him.
"I'm not done yet. What were you going to get out of this deal?"
"I just want to settle-down. I've watched these beings in the world, looking for someone. I found you. You are kind, funny, sexy, mean, cheap, a scam-artist, but a good-hearted man all around."
"It doesn't sound good when you say it like that ." Kantaro put his free hand behind his head.
"On a side note, Yomi, are you rich?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Please just answer the question."
"Hai. Several men have fallen for me, and in hopes of courting me, have left me large sums of money. I've saved it all."
"Then you, my dear, are my new best friend."
Her mind flashed to Haruka, "So, you don't want to court me for my money?"
"If you put it like that, hai."
"Whatever your motivation, I will let you court me. It works out for us all. At least, most of us." She looked behind her.
The door was slightly open and Haruka was listening in to the conversation. He stared her in the eyes. Both tengu reflected sadness. Yomi was pulled back to Kantaro. He tried to kiss her. She pulled away and stood.
"I should be going to bed. You never know when someone unexpected will steal your heart. Even if you swore to never use it again."
"What was that?"
"Nothing." She thought that she saw Haruka slid away with a small smile on his face.
"Kantaro-kun, I do not kiss on the first date, so nemuri kitsui!" (sleep tight)
She left to her own room. She lay down and went to bed after a long yawn.
