As soon as he flew in, steel doors closed behind him. The guards were a little freaked out by seeing a mythical beast there, but they kept their mouths shut. Zataku folded his wings, and set upon the task of making himself look somewhat like a human once again. The process had sped up since Zataku now had experience in the art of shape shifting, but it was still pretty slow. He helped haul Saki onto a table so that she could be examined, and then stepped back to let the professionals work. He wasn't one of those people who pretended to know what he was talking about and fucked things up.

A technician said," Seventeen areas severely damaged. Add that to the areas of moderate compromise. Seventy two in all"

Amagi said," Alright. I guess we should all get started gentlemen"

'Can Saki be repaired?" Kurumi asked.

"Fortunately most of the damage was away from the central areas. She'll be fine"

"That's great! Thank you, doctor!" Kurumi said, excited.

"Nakahito, this procedure should take about a week, so I'm going to have to trust you to take care of Kurumi and Zataku"

"Why me?"

"Because you're the only one who is actually human, and thinks clearly instead of biased towards senseless destruction," she eyed Zataku," or is way too hyper for her own good," This time, she looked at Kurumi," I'm going to be staying here, so I'm going to have to trust you to take charge. Understand?"

"I guess so"

"Biased towards senseless destruction? Too hyper for her town good?" Zataku repeated, a popped vein mark appearing on his forehead.

Before he could take revenge, Kurumi hugged him close, and said," Yay! That means you and I can finish fixing up out little love nest"

"You don't understand," Amagi said," The military has given us special permission to use their convalescence facilities; so we'll be staying here"

"But, doctor," Zataku protested, which was kind of hard for him as he couldn't inhale or exhale with Kurumi hugging him so hard.

"Mm, you feel good," she said, pressing her breasts into him.

Later, Kurumi and Zataku ate lunch ate a mansion surrounded by military personnel.

"Master," Kurumi asked," Listen, wouldn't it be nicer if it were just the two of us?"

"You don't know the half of it," Zataku sighed, looking towards the door where there were two guards on station," Ever since I got this new body, I've had an increased desire to... you know. On the other hand, we need to lay low. We've caused a lot of attention. Especially with me looking like this and flying all over the countryside as a gigantic reptile. Kurumi, there are people looking for us"

"Well, you know what? I'm looking for something too! A little (giggle). A little... hmmm.... And a little (Laugh). Know what I mean? ... ... I just want to be alone with you!" she sobbed. Sweat drop. "So, come on."

"What do you mean by 'come on?" Zataku laughed.

"Oh, Come on, master, do I have to spell it out for you? I want to have a date with you"

"Are you crazy?! I can't walk around in public looking like this! Besides, Nakahito would snitch on us, and things would just go downhill from there"

Kurumi laid on her back and began kicking and screaming," We can't do this; we can't do that; we can't go here; we can't go there. Do you know how frustrating this is? I have needs! Lots of needs!"

"Kurumi! Stop! Stop! That is a direct order!"

"No! I want to go on a date!"

"What? You're telling me no?"

"Because I want to go out on a date with you! Don't you understand that? Your love has to do amazing things like beating Karinka, and I want t celebrate that love with you! Get it? Got it? Good! We're leaving!"

"But Kurumi..."

"But Kurumi nothing! Let's go!" Kurumi picked him up, and jumped out the window.

"I hate it when she does this," he thought. She leapt into the courtyard, where two guards yelled at her to stop, and then she went strait over the mortar fence that would've stopped an assault from even Karinka.

As Kurumi jumped, bound after bound, Zataku said," Kurumi, you can't be jumping around like this. You gotta act normal"

"But I am acting normal"

"That's not what I... forget it. People will probably take on look at me and freak out anyway"

Kurumi stopped at an absolutely enormous carnival. "Kurumi, did you have to choose the most populated area in all of Japan for our date? Couldn't you have just gone to a quiet café or something?"

"No! I want our first date to be special!" They walked in, and, very surprisingly, no one said anything about a demon amongst them. "Wow! Have you ever been at a world's fair before?"

"No, and I don't think I should be at one now. So many humans. So many people that could see what I really am"

"Oh, just ignore them, master. If we're having fun, then who cares what anybody else thinks?" She pulled him along, which is ironic since Zataku could run faster than the speed of sound. "Oh! Let's ride that!" She pointed to a large log ride.

"Oh no. Nothing with water. Please, for the love of god, nothing with water!"

"Come on!" Kurumi said.

"Damn! Who's the master here? Oh well, gotta get over that fear sometime"

They got on, and as the ride reached it's peak, Zataku gulped. He absolutely hated water. He didn't even like to drink water. He went wide-eyed as it came down, and slammed into the water. Zataku's clothes and tail got completely soaked. Afterward, Zataku shook himself dry, making his hair and tail look like they hadn't been combed in weeks.

"Never again will I ride anything with the word water in it!" he sighed.

Kurumi grabbed his hand, and said," Let's ride something else, master!"

Zataku sighed again," Waaaaaay too much energy"

As they went through the ride exit, a girl with glasses, brown long hair, a red robe, and a wrap of paper on her shoulder that identified her as park staff asked," Hello there, did you both have a nice ride?"

"Depends on your definition of nice," Zataku said, shrugging.

"Would you mind if I took a little bit of your time?"

"Wouldn't matter anyway. I'm immortal"

"Are you talking to me?" Kurumi asked.

"Yes!" the girl said, a little angry, but then corrected, sweetly," I mean, yes. I'm from the world's fair guest relations committee, and we're asking today's visitors to fill out a survey to find out what people think of the park. It won't take a moment, I promise. Just fill out this form and write legibly"

"Hold on a sec," Zataku said, getting a little closer to this girl and sniffing," You're scent is familiar. Have we met before?"

"I don't think so"

"Go away, freak show! Go away!" she thought.

"You look like someone I really hate," Zataku said, slowly," Small world, huh?"

Kurumi took the form, and, before she was even able to read it, the wind blew it completely out of her hands.

"Boy, that's a strong wind. So sorry about that. Bye. Come on," she said, grabbing Zataku's hand again.

"What wind? I didn't feel any wind!" the girl whispered, much more hoarsely.

"Strange. That girl sounds just like... Naw, I'm imagining things. Maybe I needed this more than I thought"

The next ride they went on was a circular ride that went around in circles, and was intended to mash people together. This, quite simply, was a ride for lovers. Once they got off, they encountered that strange girl again.

"Well, hello again! I'm sorry about last time, but would you mind filling out my survey?"

"Okay, do you have a pencil?" Kurumi asked.

"Yes. Here," the girl said, handing her a green pencil with a sharp tip. Just before she wrote on the paper, Zataku saw something blur by, snipping the end of the pencil.

"What the hell was that?"

"Where do I get my energy?" Kurumi read" Strange question. This survey's easy! I get my... Hey, wait a minute. Can't write with this"

"Yeah, do you have a pencil sharpener or something?"

"What?" The girl asked," Oh goddammit! I sharpened this thing my self just a minute ago!"

"Are you sure we've never met? You certainly sound familiar"

"No, I'm sure, damn it!"

"Hmm..."

"This just isn't your day is it now?"

"Just a suggestion here, but maybe next time you should think about using a pen?"

"Hey! Wait! Wait! Shit!"

Kurumi and Zataku walked on, looking for something else interesting.

"I could really use a mountain dew or a cup of coffee," said the caffeine addicted demon.

"Me too. I'd just love a ramune"

"Well, what a coinkidink! We just keep running into each other! It must be fate drawing you to my little survey!" the girl said from under a large pink tent with a desk.

"She has got to be on commission."

"I'm sorry, but the only thing I can think of isn't her income. It's getting some ramune"

"See ya," Zataku said to the girl.

"No, wait! No!" The girl picked up the entire tent, moved it in front of the couple, and said, while catching her breath," I've got free bottles of Ramune and mountain dew if you fill out the survey! Please!"

"Ramune for free!"

"It's gotta be too good to be true," Zataku said, deadpan but excited both at once.

"Here. Just let me give you a blank form," the girl said, digging into a large chest full of surveys. Here, the paper's weighted, so the wind's no problem. And the pencil's gone, I found a fountain pen, k? Now write"

"You've thought of everything, now haven't you?" asked Kurumi as she put the pen to the paper. Then she said," Something's wrong" She tried to move the pen, but it was stuck to the paper! "Gross! It must be gel! I hope you kept the receipt to that pen," Kurumi said, giving it back to the girl. She tore the paper trying to get the pen free, and then noticed a think gel like covering to the tip. She went to get it off, but then it was stuck to her hand. Zataku was busting up laughing. She struggled to get it off, and then smashed her hand strait though the bottles of ramunes, mountain dew, and then broke the desk itself. All that it one strike.

"Holy shit!" Exclaimed Zataku, who was now high on caffeine, and, because of that, in a much better mood.

The girl laughed sheepishly, and said," Sorry. I've been working a lot"

"Well, good job" Kurumi said. Then, she walked away, dragging the mind-numbed demon king behind her.

They had fun all day, going on different rides, and not seeing that annoying girl anymore until night. Then, they sat down to eat some dinner.

"It was so much fun today, master"

"I agree, and Amagi never lets me have any caffeine, so today was great in my book. Although we really shouldn't have done it"

"Oh sure we should have. There's nothing wrong with us being together. Everything was wonderful. Though I kind of feel bad about that survey girl. It just wasn't her day, was it?"

"No, but it was funny when she got that bad pen stuck to her hand. She tired to get it off, but then it stuck to her other hand too. I swear, that girl should have a show or something"

"You know what? I'm going to carry a pencil around from now on, just in case we run into her. Poor kid"

"That's nice of you. But I could've sworn I met her somewhere before. I wish I could figure it out. It's driving me nuts. Hey, waiter! More caffeine! I'm still conscious here!"
