Alex took the time to practice with his nunchaku, and then laid out his clothes. During his preparations for the date, he thought about what this meant. This meant going out on a date with a girl since he left the temple.
The temple where he trained since he was cast out for his not as pointy ears.
He was a half-elf, no now a half human. Half human was better, his parents were killed for his birth; himself hunted by elven purists.
No matter, he had a future; and thanks to living among the monks, he was now undetectable by his hunters.
Whistling a tune that had inexplicably got stuck in his head, he pulled on his gloves and checked that his weaponry was safely ensconced around his body.
Time to go to the Tendo's, he left his home and took a deep breath of air.
There was a full-blood near him. He walked down the street and whistled. Alex new that he needed to take out this purist for a long time. An arrow whizzed, by his head; he began bobbing and weaving. He dove over a concrete wall and moved his nunchaku to his wrist and a jo staff to his other wrist.
He popped up, wrapped his weapon around an arrow and flung the stave along the line of fire. He kept catching arrows and saw the high elf body fall. Ducking behind the wall again, he waited for a count of three and retrieved his staff. He took the stunned elf and dragged him to a wall, propping him up and rushing to his date. He wasn't too late, it was only eight oh one.
He gently knocked on the ricepaper walls and stood back as a young woman opened the door.
"Good evening, is Nabiki Tendo home?"
"Yes she is come in and join us for tea."
I stepped into the mudroom, exchanged my shoes for house slippers and entered.
A man in a brown gi came up to me.
"So you want to take my daughter on a date?" the father asked.
"Yes, Tendo-san; I promise I will take care of her and promise I can do that." Alex spoke in an even tone.
"Well, then let's see your skills in the dojo." Soun spoke
Alex picked up a staff and went through basic staff forms adding embellishment as needed to impress Soun.
"You seem very skilled, can you handle my daughter?" Soun asked
"I assure you little escapes my notice Tendo-san, for example approximately thirty minutes ago you ate something with a red sauce, probably noodles and cleaned it well."
Alex said
"Incredible, you can take my daughter out on a date, but have her back before ten o'clock." Soun said
"Hai Tendo-san. Domo Origato." Alex bowed and then straightened.
He exited the dojo and looked to the top of the family's stairs, there in a black dress stood Nabiki.
"Oh my god, Nabiki you look even more beautiful than at school." Alex said, his eyes as big as dinner plates.
