The morning sun was rising on the snow people's village. The rays of sunlight were pouring into Mizore's window, shining on the two sleeping forms. Mizore sluggishly opened her eyes, squinting them due to the sunlight streaming into her room. She rubbed her eyes, and felt a cool breeze drift into her room. Tsurara was currently in her room, leaving a tray of breakfast on the desk next to Mizore's bed. She noticed Mizore waking up, and gave her daughter a smile.
"Good morning, dear, did you two sleep well?" She asked, taking note of Mizore's naked body. Mizore nodded tiredly, looking over at Nathan's peaceful form. Tsurara looked over as well and smiled. "How good was he?" Tsurara asked, sitting on the bed next to Mizore.
"He was amazing, his movements were flawless, and his skills felt like they've been used somewhere else before. And that tongue.." Mizore said nonchalantly. She moved the hair out of Nathan's sleeping face. "He is perfect. As a lover and in bed." Mizore kissed Nathan's forehead before hopping out of bed, her naked body in full glory.
"I'm glad, sweetie," Tsurara hugged her daughter. "I'm going to head out later, the Snow Priestess has requested to see me." Mizore nodded her head, and walked off to her dressers.
"I'm going to go to the hot springs while he continues sleeping." Mizore said to her
mother, pulling out a blue and white kimono. Tsurara nodded her head, and left the room, and out of the house. Mizore took her kimono and started walking to the door. Before she did however, she bent down and picked up Nathan's cloak, taking it along with her. With that, she exited the room, heading in the direction of the hot springs, but made sure to grab a bag of ice before leaving.
In Mizore's room, Nathan groggily woke up. He stretched out and yawned, smiling as he remembered about what he did last night. He licked his lips, and laughed. "I still have the taste of vanilla in my mouth." He put his hand on Mizore's side of the bed, expecting to feel her lying there, but only hit the bed. Confused, he turned over and saw that she wasn't in bed anymore.
"What the.." He got up, and searched for his scattered clothes on the floor. He found his jeans and black shirt, but his cloak wasn't anywhere to be seen. He scratched his head in confusion, but decided to think about it later, putting on the clothing he managed to find. After he got dressed he left the room, and headed downstairs. Upon entering downstairs, he noticed a sticky note taped to the front door. He stalked over and picked it off.

Hey Nathan, it's Mizore, if you wake up and I'm not with you, I am currently soaking off last night's love juices. I'll be back in an hour of writing this. Love you. xoxo

Nathan let out a large sigh. 'That's a relief. I got a bit worried there.' He crumbled up the piece of paper, tossing it into his pocket. He then walked up back to Mizore's room, and relaxed.

Mizore was sitting in the hot springs, ice cubes floating on top of the surface of the water. She exhaled out in delight, soaking up the cold water and smiling to herself. 'Last night was absolutely blissful.' Mizore smiled smally. She kept her eyes close as she heard the hot springs sliding door open. She didn't think anything of it, it was most likely another snow person coming in to bathe. As she submerged herself deeper into the water, she felt the water next to her splash onto her face. She opened one eye, but before she could, the figure put their hands over her eyes. The hand was cold, but not the cold of a snow person, rather the cold that emits off metal. She grasped the hand, and was greeted with the relaxing touch of a metallic arm. Mizore smiled as she removed the hand from her face, and saw Nathan's grin staring back.
"Hey Mizore, thought I might join you." He said joyously to her. Mizore continued smiling as she stared at his naked form once again. She blushed a tiny bit, his naked body reminding her of last night. She turned her head away, and turned around.
"Do you mind if I make the water a bit colder?" Mizore muttered out. Nathan shook his head, giving her the okay to use her ice powers. She put her finger tip on the water, and from it, a thin sheet of ice froze over the spring water. Nathan remained calm, not appearing to shiver in the slightest. Mizore eased up a bit more, relaxing and enjoying the freezing sensation. Nathan submerged himself completely in the water, the ice freezing above his head. Mizore was so caught up in the freezing temperature, she never noticed Nathan submerging himself.
"I'm going to freeze the water a bit more." She said to Nathan, not looking in his direction as she did so. The water became more dense, becoming two inches thicker. Mizore sighed and soak up the water. Nathan on the other hand, was calmly laying underneath the frozen ice, staring up at it as it started becoming thicker. He let out a sigh, bubbles protruding from his mouth as he did so. He raised his arm, and started to strike the ice. But.. in water, your movements become slower, slowing his arms speed and making the forceful impact just a soft blow, not even scratching the surface.
"..you gotta be kidding me.." Nathan said in the water. He tried again, but got the same results. He looked over at Mizore, her naked lower half laying submerged in the water. He tugged on her leg, trying to gain her attention. She laughed and caressed Nathan's hand instead. "Not now Nathan, we are in a public area." Nathan glared, "..goddamnit honey.." He tugged some more, gaining somewhat more attention from her. This time, her voice grew a tad bit more frustrated. "Nathan.. I said no." Nathan groaned loudly, before yanking on her leg, pulling her another inch into the water. This got her going. Mizore opened her eyes, and looked over in the direction Nathan should've been, "Nathan! I said sto-" She noticed Nathan wasn't there. She looked down, through the ice and gasped. There Nathan was, waving at her nonchalantly, pointing at the frozen ice between them.
"It seems like there is a barrier between us." He mouthed out to her. Mizore used her ice powers, and reduced the ice back to water, giving Nathan the opportunity to jump out of the water and catch his breath. He held his chest, and coughed out the water in his lungs. As he was coughing, he was giving Mizore a faltering smile.
"Thanks.." Nathan coughed out more water. Mizore held onto him and started crying. "I'm sorry, I didn't know! Are you hurt, are you okay?!" Mizore fretted over him. "Nathan, I'm sorry, so so sorry!" Nathan gave her a pat on the head, rubbing it gently.
"Mizore.. I'm fine.. Don't worry.." Nathan coughed up a couple more times before he got all the water out of his system. He gave her one last smile before he decided to get out of the water. "I'm going to get changed, I'll meet you outside when you're done." He waved to her, his smile still remaining. Mizore sulked in the hot springs, upset with herself and her actions. She sensed that Nathan was upset, he had to be after all. She kicked her feet around before she too, got out of the water. When she went to the changing room, Nathan was already there, fully dressed. But instead of his normal attire, he was wearing a black and gray kimono. When Mizore approached, Nathan smiled and slung his arm around her shoulders.
"Hey Snow Baby, dig the new look?" He smirked, showing off his appearance in multiple poses. Mizore giggled slightly, but her frown quickly returned. Nathan noticed this and his smile faded as well. He walked up to her and raised her chin to his face. Her sadness to his empty, dark demeanor. She looked into his eyes, hers matching his. Both filled with pure sorrow.
"Mizore.. There is nothing for you to be upset over." Nathan's expression hardened, turning to a look of guilt. "I've done worse things than you could ever imagine. There are other reasons why I had to leave all my other schools. I'm a monster, and not just species, I am a sociopathic, cruel individual who will not hesitate to harm someone. What you did in the springs, I would've done by choice." Nathan's demeanor remained dark as he bore into Mizore's soul. Mizore was trembling a tiny bit from Nathan's presence. He placed his hand on her shoulders as he went down to be on eye level with her. His face softened up, and he was back to his calm attitude. "Please don't worry about it, I'm perfectly fine now." He smiled, kissing her nose.
"But do be honest, are my bulging muscles noticeable in this?" Nathan flexed his abs and biceps. Mizore smiled a tiny bit, "What muscles? I see a whole bunch of deformities." Mizore said, grabbing her clothes and started changing.
"Ouch, my ego." Nathan held his chest, nervously rubbing his skull. He then took a look at Mizore's clothes. "Wait a second, what is that?" Nathan pointed to his cloak, as Mizore finished putting her undergarments on. Mizore smiled, quickly tossing on the kimono and Nathan's apprentice cloak.
"Thought it would be a nice touch, what do you think?" She spun around, having the cloak drape below her as she did. Nathan's eyes were wide as he hung his mouth agape. He was making incoherent noises. Mizore smiled as she walked up to Nathan, smooched his cheek, and walked out of the hot springs room. Nathan was still flabbergasted, blubbering nonsense as they walked to Mizore's house.
"I-i… u-uhh.. You look.. stunning.." Nathan managed out to her. Mizore smiled and flashed some cleavage to him, winking. "You know, maybe next time I can wear the cloak." Nathan instantly put his arms in the shape of an X.
"Yeah, not into that," Nathan said, "While you do look marvelous in that, that is still my old guardian's old cloak. It feels disrespectful to something of that deed with it on." Nathan shrugged, smirking at Mizore. "But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to do anything later." As they were conversing with each other, they passed by the church, with the doors slightly cracked open.
"Oh, what's this now." Nathan coursed off of their path, and peered into the church doors. Mizore gazed over at him, and grew worried.
"Nathan! That is where the Snow Priestess resigns, don't snoop there!" She whispered loudly to him, tugging on his arm to come away from there. Nathan smirked as he raised his ear to the wood, attempting to use his enhanced hearing.
"The time is approaching, we have less than 3 months left. What do you suppose we do?" The Snow Priestess said to nobody in particular. Then, a chilling voice slowly spoke, "Use the boy, he can be most suitable.." The Snow Priestess thought about it for a moment, "But how can he be used when he doesn't know the potential he holds?" Before Nathan could hear anything else, Mizore shoved Nathan from the door, and into the ground snow. Nathan's face planted into the snow, his butt flashing to the world. Due to the kimono he was wearing, his zebra striped boxers were shown in full publicity. Mizore bursted out in laughter, trying to contain herself, but it was all too much for her. Nathan scratched his butt, not moving from his position.
"Do you feel that breeze or what?" He put his arms in a push-up stand, then, slowly got up to his feet. He turned back to Mizore, grinning, and walking towards her. He raised his palms, and shoved her, pushing her into the snow. She fell and hit her butt against the ground.
"There, now we are even." He laughed, and then sprinted back to the house before Mizore had a chance to attack him. Mizore turned in his direction and shouted at him, "Get back here and help your fiancee up!" She rose to her feet, and ran in the direction of Nathan, tossing ice kunais at him.

Mizore and Nathan were sticking in her living room, ice kunais sticking out of Nathan's back. Mizore was cuddled up against Nathan's neck, sniffing his strong scent. She enjoyed the scent of him, it reminded her of nature. Nathan was pulling out the ice kunais from his back as Mizore relaxed against him.
"Hey Mizore, where are you parents at?" Nathan asked, pulling out the last kunai. Mizore stopped sniffing him and looked up at him. "Well, mother went to see the Snow Priestess, and father is probably out on business." Nathan nodded, contemplating back to what he heard the Snow Priestess said. 'The time is approaching, we have less than 3 months left. 3 months until what? And who were they talking about..?' Nathan rubbed his temple, struggling to process everything at once. Mizore noticed his distress and rubbed his back.
"Is something wrong?" Mizore asked worriedly. Nathan snapped out his thoughts and mustered up a smile for Mizore. "Of course, everything is alright." Nathan kissed her forehead, and returned his attention back to the room. "So how much longer is this break going to last, kinda miss Tsukune and the gang." Nathan smiled, thinking about all his friends.
"Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so we will return the day after." Mizore said, pulling out her lollipop and placing another one in. Nathan nodded, taking the lollipop she took out, and tossed it in the trash. "What do you want to do, skiing or snowboarding?" Nathan suggested to her. Mizore took it into thought, and nodded her head.
"Sure, that sounds like fun." She got up and made her way to the entrance. "We can head up to the north hill, it's the biggest hill we have." Nathan got up as well, heading over to the doorway with her.
"Before we go, is there anything we should be weary of?" Nathan asked, trying to keep Mizore's safety in mind. Mizore shook her head, "No, the only that we should be concerned about is the ravines and cliffs. Those can be troublesome to unsuspecting people." With that said, they left the house and went towards the ski resort.
