Chapter 5
For the next week, hung the prospect of meeting Mizore's parents. Kasai became quieter, but during the time he spent with Mizore that week, he learnt more than ever. Those "mediation" sessions were one of Kasai's favourite moments with her. not only was he actually able to talk with him one on one, but he felt like they were connected.
"so, what are you doing over the holidays?" was one of the main topics of discussion going around Yokai. on their last Newspaper meeting, this discussion arose. Tsukune announced that Moka and himself were going to meeting his parents and spend the holiday there, this upset Kurumu a little as she was spending the time alone at home. Mizore motioned the fact that she and Kasai we're going to meet her parents.
"The way I see it!" Kurumu blurted out, "is that the girl should meet HIS parent first, not the other way round!" once again, Kurumu had been totally oblivious to the fact that Kasai no longer had parents. Kasai felt enraged by this. last week when he told his story to Mizore she instructed him to tell the others so they get a small sense of what was going on with him. Kurumu didn't listen to him as expected. However, Kasai, now using techniques he had learnt, lit a fire behind his back with a flick of the wrist and calmed himself down, to let of the rage. He had gotten the hang of it outside of class, but it was still dangerous to show your "form" in class.

"bye everyone! Have a good week!" Moka said excitedly, as she exited the bus in the human world with Tsukune holding her hand.
Yukari put up a good act of not acting too jealous as the boy of her dreams left the bus behind her, however, Kurumu didn't really care about showing her envy. She scowled as the doors closed with a clatter behind them. Mizore took Kasai's arm as she got closer to him.
"your temperature is through the roof!" she whispered "calm down a little"
"I can't how am I going to explain to your parents I'm worthy of their daughter!" he whispered back.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, it's mainly my mother who is there"
"huh?!"
... after waving goodbye to everyone, together Mizore and Kasai left the bus. Kasai could not stand the cold that engulfed him on this snow realm. Even if he wore a ski jacket, cold was not his element.
"h-h-h-how m-m-m-much f-f-f-urth-h-her?" Kasai's teeth chattered.
"No too far" Mizore said ploughing her way through the snow. "here we are!" she unlocked the door and it swung open. She welcomed Kasai inside and called to to the apparently empty house "mother, I'm home" as Kasai took off his jacket. Tsurara, Mizore mother, appeared out of nowhere.
"so, you must be Kasai" he jumped in fright
"that's right". She walked towards him with a huge spike from where her hand should be. The whole effect was rather scary. She never blinked and she showed little emotion, like a cold blooded killer. Kasai was a little unprepared when she bowed in curtsy, she must have been unaware of the huge knife from her arm.
"Oh! pleased to meet you too" he pulled together. and bowed as well. After the meal she had prepared they began talking, mainly about himself "I'm a fire Sharman" he explained, "I have the ability to create *and to some extent manipulate* fire"
"interesting, and why do you think you're the person to marry my daughter?"
... MARRY!
"we'll discuss it later," Mizore hushed to him
... WHAT!
"ummm... I suppose..." Kasai played along "because I love your daughter more than anyone one else"

Kasai kissed Mizore slowly and patiently when they were excused. "You must really love me a lot to say that I'll marry you" he joked
