Day 10: With animal ears.

A theme park. The noise, the screaming children, the infernal music on repeat, the constant slow traffic of people because of stupid animal thingy parade. He didn't want this. He didn't like this. The noise was unbearable, the smell was disgusting and his suit already has a cotton candy, as Yako had called the hideous looking pink goo, stain on it.

Neuro just wanted to be done with the mystery and go back to their quiet office. Just a little peace and quiet without children, that was everything he asked for.

"Are you okay, Neuro?" asked the human woman when she stopped to ask for directions. The place was enormous and nobody seemed to point in the right direction to the Haunted House, their destination. Higuchi had called her with a juicy mystery, a chain of strange murders on the park attraction that has been occurring for a few weeks, until the park decided to close the entire area. That didn't stop the other noisy attractions, of course, and people didn't seem to mind having fun beside the scene of a crime.

"Obviously, no," he grunted as he dodged another screaming child chasing whatever had called his attention. "This places sickens me."

"I can see why," she agreed looking at the merry go round. She always liked to ride with her father and mother on the colorful horses. When she grew up they went less and less to theme parks, as the adults were too busy with their respective work to take her out anywhere. "Just a little more and you'll have your puzzle. Then, we are out."

He let a breath he didn't have realised he had been holding, controlling his features and powers so as not to lash out at the next little monster human midget to cross his way. Oh boy, how he was tempted to-

"Here!" he heard the woman's voice and a warm sensation passed near his ears, a gentle pat on the crown of his head. He blinked, surprised at the unexpected contact, and watched the retreating hands of his servant from his person. Neuro felt an odd new weight on top of his head and reached to feel what it was. Something fluffy and kinda soft was there (he couldn't tell through the material of his gloves), and he looked at the nearest reflecting surface to check what the hell she had dared to put on his head. "I thought this suited you well!"

He barely saw her smile from the corner of his eyes as he watched the horrendous lion fake ears on top of his head. The colors clashed horribly and it made him look stupid. He hated them. He wanted to burn them until not even ashes remained.

"You don't have to hate them so much!" she still was laughing. "Look, I even got me one of these to match you so you are not the only one looking stupid." Yako showed him the pink piggy ears on a pink headband resting on her hands. He arched an eyebrow at her chosen item, knowing well she didn't like being called a pig.

"Very well. It seems that now you accept you position below me on the food chain, piggy." Softly, he took the cheap pig ears and carefully put them on her blonde head. It didn't suit her at all, making her look utterly stupid, maybe even more than him. A low chuckle escaped his lips.

Her smile widened before she suddenly turned her head away from him and started to walk again to the Haunted House. Curious to see what made her flee like that, he followed her taking long strides with with equally long legs and walked backwards for a while as he watched her red face with a mischievous smile. He knew this was called "blushing" and it only meant good things.

He was making some progress! This courting thing wasn't so difficult. Why so many people whine about women being impossible to persuade? Yako maybe was an exception and was an easy girl, as they called it. He turned back and walked a few steps ahead of the slave, a proud smile plastered on his face.

While he was so sure of his success, the young woman was screaming inside. What the hell was she thinking? He had to make that cute surprised face and then laugh and smile that smile which showed a bit of his pointed teeth. She wanted to die. She only wanted to distract the demon so he wouldn't kill every human around, and now she was getting those date-y vibes again, thinking again that Neuro was cute. For the love of everything good! This was the more sadistic, crazy and bossy demon on Earth and she was blushing for a cute smile?

Somebody help me...
