Cottontail: How are all my fans? I'm good because I just got a brownie! My "husband" made them. (We're really just good friends.) But hey, I found a guy that is willing to make me chocolate dessert. I can die happy. Okie, back on topic, I don't own Demon Diary. I'm sure you've all figured that out by now. Strega, hehe, I'm so evil. Do you realize I never start a new chapter until you've reviewed? Coincidence? Yes.

"Today was a living nightmare. Our plans for a picnic were canceled due to rain, and I still tried to take Prince Raenef to see the sights. Luckily most of the stores were opened, so I took his shopping. My treat of course because his expectations for the day were ruined.

"There was a little shop that made kimonos, and he wanted one to try and blend in. I wandered around the store as I let him pick one out. Then I heard a scream. The lady that was helping him dress didn't realize he was male. I had a silent laugh at the poor girl's expense. When he came out, he was dressed in a woman's kimono. The woman had gone all out with his make-up, hair, and everything. He was stunning, and I couldn't believe my eyes. I wanted to complement him, but all I could do was yell. Yell at the woman for making him so appealing, and yelling at him for letting her.

"After he was properly dressed in a man's kimono, I took him to a local restaurant. It wasn't fancy, but the cuisine was worth it. An old woman and her daughter own it, and I took every opportunity I could to see the young beauty. I think the prince's presence confused her though.

"Her name is Erutis, and we weren't exactly lovers, but I'd been with her one more than one occasion. Of course she knew that I was with other people, but if it bothered her, I couldn't tell. But she was an Irish woman, auburn hair and an adorable figure that she hides under many layers of clothing. I believe that she's engaged to a local monk.

"As I was saying, her green eyes met mine with great confusion. I suppose because my current company was an adolescent, attractive male. And though it was not uncommon for a man to have a boy as a lover, I had never been known for that. She acted in her usual manner with sarcastic remarks that you'd never hear from a proper Asian lady. But she was always kind and good-natured. I believe that's what made her appealing.

"Raenef had never eaten Irish food, and something in it gave him food poisoning. His new kimono was ruined and had to be removed. I spent the rest of the day at his bedside with a nurse trying to make him well again."

"After several hours, of trying to convince him that he wasn't dying, he still didn't believe me and asked for me to hold him so he can grip to something when Death comes. I found his request ridiculous and rather humorous, but I went along with it to make him feel better. He fell asleep in my arms, and I stay in his room the rest of the night. I'd never felt so content before, but Krayon's words kept ringing in my head. And I began to wonder. I had everything I wanted, but only with this child did I feel complete. Maybe it was just paternal instinct. Is now the time to start a family and have children of my own? Or am I in love?"
