Healing Wounds

[Oren]

Chasity leaned against a tree and sighed contently at the sky. It was an almost clear day with a slight breeze that ruffled her hair the tiniest bit. There were stronger gusts of wind up higher that kept the clouds away and the tops of the trees swaying ever so slightly. She enjoyed being alone like this. She also liked the fact that she was going to enjoy a night with Whisper later at roughly this spot. Kendryek really knew her well to hook them up. She couldn't help but wonder if he had some girl he had his eyes on. Deep inside she knew that he didn't, but there was still a small pain that she hadn't quite gotten rid of.

She smiled at a small sparrow that landed on a branch near her. "Hello little one," she laughed. It was getting easier and easier to ignore the gap that Kendryek had torn in her heart. That was a good thing. She could remember the time when her late husband and little girl had been killed in a five car pile up. She had been sad for months before Kendryek had walked into her life.

She had been in a small park that her and her family had visited before their deaths. He had picked a wild flower and held it up to her face from behind. It had startled her so much that she had punched him without thinking. It was a funny way for them to meet and for the longest time she was very wary of his intentions. For crying out loud, he had been a complete stranger that had randomly given her a flower before asking her out! What sane person did that kind of thing?!

But in the end she had still fallen for him. It was funny how fate worked. They had been together for over twenty years as simple fiance's and now they were no longer together.

Chasity stuck her hand into her empty pocket. She had found the courage to give the right back to Kendryek. Unknown to him, she had always carried it with her. It had been a large source of her courage whenever they got in fights. It had been a reminder of how much he loved her.

But now she had Whisper and that was a good thing. Pulling her cell phone out of her pocket, she smiled. It was only a few minutes till Whisper was supposed to be here. Hopefully he wouldn't be offended because she was here before him.

[tsukiyomaru0]

Whisper had taken note on where they were supposed to meet and too of the time. Amazingly enough, he walked there right on time. He was dressed a little too formal, in a black suit with a blue tie. But, peeking through his illusion, through his skin, was a fox with carefully brushed fur, making him look like a tame fox... To an extent, he was...

Approaching of her, he gave a kiss to her cheek and said "Did you wait for too long? I hope you did not...". He was smilling to her, feeling truly happy with her presence.

[Oren]

Chasity smiled as he kissed her cheek. "I like the outdoors, so I came early on purpose. Kind of like... preparation, except not in my room putting on makeup."

She laughed. It really was a bad comparison. She never wore makeup so she was never really in her room 'preparing' for anything. Nature was her covering, makeup, and perfume, all in one. A small doubt flickered through her brain. She was waring a nice, formal dress, but would Whisper mind that she didn't really try to look extremely nice for their first official date? She could tell that he had gone full out, but... she didn't really own anything to make her look pretty. No makeup, no straight irons, no curling irons, no nothing. She hadn't told any of her room mates about the date either.

She didn't voice her worries, and she hoped they weren't written all over her face. It wouldn't be good if he could read her like an open book. There would be nothing to hold his interest if he could.

She smiled at him. "You ready to go?"

[tsukiyomaru0]

"And you'd need make up? I don't think so, since you are already a goddess" he said with a nice, gentle smile.

He didn't read her, but he knew one thing for sure: her dress was beautifull. He admired it for a long while. Then her pherohormones showed something was worrying her... But he decided to not ask. He had no reason to ruin their first official date Then, as she asked if he was ready to go, he only said "As ready as you are..."

[Oren]

Chasity blushed at his compliment. She wasn't that pretty, was she? Certainly not! She mumbled a 'thank you' and smiled shyly. She always thought it better to think of herself as 'normal' rather than having a big head.

When he said that he was ready when she was, she smiled and said, "Well, I'm really ready!" she looped her arm through his and leaned her head on his shoulder. "You're taking me to diner after this, right?" She giggled. It didn't really matter to her what they did, but that fact that they were dressed this formally made her wonder what they were going to do later.

She could feel her spirit lift as they walked toward the building. Having someone to lean on felt better than she had remembered.

((The pocket I mentioned earlier is a hidden pocket in the folds of the dress. It didn't come that way, she put it there.))

[tsukiyomaru0]

He liked seeing her like that: a shy girl with a warm heart. He too liked her very own form, even if foxes and cats were supposed to be enemies. Nonetheless, they went together to the building and, as she asked the question, he said "Yes, I will take you to a dinner in a restaurant... Do you prefer japanese or european cuisine?".

Her head on his shoulder made his heart pump faster, as a faint blush covers his cheeks.

[Oren]

Her ears perked at his question. So he was taking her to dinner! So much fun! But Japanese or European? She didn't really like many of the European foods, and Japanese wasn't her favorite out of Asia, either. Maybe just an Asian buffet? "Hmm... if I had to pick out of the two, it would be Japanese, but if we could find just an Asian or Chinese place, that would be great! Are you good with that?" There was no way she wanted to do something he didn't like! They would agree on a place they were both comfortable with and that would be where they would go.

She smiled as the entered the theater. Dates were so much fun!

[tsukiyomaru0]

So, she likes Asian cuisine... "Interesting...", he thought. As she asked if he was good with her choice, he smirked sincerely and said "Normally I prefer japanese food, but I guess that expandig to asian food is much better.". He had nothing to complain, right? He was with the one that filled that blank space in his chest, the one who made him... Smile.

He thought for a while back on his first mate... He had promissed her, but then he thought over that a little longer. "Maybe if I bring her back as part of our family..." he thought.

[Oren]

Chasity giggled and faced him. She tapped his nose and smiled. "I don't really mind one way or the other. I like Chinese, but sushi has to be a favorite, and I love rice as well, so Japanese cuisine it is!" She hesitated as she looked into his eyes. Such a beautiful face... and eyes. She looked down at her hands as she blushed. Laughing nervously, she looked back up at him and said, "Ok... um... what snacks do you want?" She turned towards the snack bar and leaned up against it, hoping that he hadn't noticed her reaction.

[tsukiyomaru0]

"Makizushi, Rice, Mochi, Tofu, Ramen... I like almost everything in japanese cuisine, but chinese does too offer unique dishes." he said and chuckled to her, for she poked his nose. When he glanced in her eyes, he saw her exactly as she was behind the disguise of this human female. He saw the kitty, and he loved what he saw. A passionate smirk took his face and he distracted for a brief while, letting his tail be seen. He noticed this when a kid said "Mom, buy me a tail prop like that?". Immediately he hid his tail. The mother of the kid had his eyes on him, and he could feel that. His heart began to beat fast and then he heard her say "What tail, my boy?", as she looked to her kid. "I saw a tail on him." the kid said. "You must be imaginating things." she said. He sighed in relief and looked back to Chasity. "Hm... Let me see... I guess I'll have sweet popcorn and an orange juice... No, Strawberry juice!" he said.

[Oren]

Chasity smiled. "Good! It's decided then!" She heard the little kids remark and quickly looked over at Whisper. He was watching the kid carefully, making sure they boy's mom didn't believe him. "Tail prop my eye!" she mumbled to herself. When he looked back to her and made his decision, she looked at the man behind the counter and said, "One large sweet popcorn, two strawberry juices, and a small bag peanut butter pieces, please." She smiled at the man and looked up at Whisper. "Be more careful, okay?," she whispered, laughter coloring her soft voice. She waited a few seconds for the man behind the counter to step a few more feet away before adding, "It's not good to let out secrets like extremely real 'tail props'."

She turned back to the counter and took the peanut butter pieces and one of the drinks. She walked off towards the showing room and threw her sentences back at him. "Get your snacks and come on, Mr. Kawaii! We want to get good seats right?"

[tsukiyomaru0]

He chuckles and whispers "I will be... It is just that I distracted myself with your beauty..." in her ear, followed by a nibble "Also, you'd be amazed on how many I fooled with the tail prop excuse... Only those who really pull it will notice it is real." He snatched his popcorn and juice before following her. Her statement made him chuckle. "Mr. Kawaii? Now this is a new nickname for me, Chasity-chan." he said.

[Oren]

Chasity blushed slightly at his compliment. "That isn't the kind of thing you say out loud." She then walked off with her drink and snack. When he caught up to her, she asked, "You have a problem with me calling you cute?" She was flirting with him, but that was okay. They were dating. It was what people that liked each other did. And he was flirting to. Saying that he was caught up in her beauty! It would take a little for her to believe that one. She knew that others thought she was kinda cute, but she liked to keep her head the right size. People with big heads were always a pain the the rear!

But Whisper wasn't like that and neither was she. They were a pretty good match.

[tsukiyomaru0]

He chuckled a bit and said "Very few called me cute. Of course, in my 'childhood', I had been called cute quite a lot, but it has been so long...". Maybe she had no idea, but it has been more than years. Decades, maybe? He kissed her cheek and let out a soft murr, as they proceed to find good seats.

He had his eyes on the middle seats, for they are aneither too close nor too far from the screen, thus perfect for anyone.

[Oren]

She looked up at him with a slightly confused face. He kissed her cheek and headed towards the best seats in the whole theater. She figured it didn't matter too much, but she decided to pursue the matter.

"Not many have called you cute? Why not?! You're... okay, wait. Do you mind me calling you cute? A an old friend from my actual high school years told me guys don't like to be called cute. I don't wanna... you know... get on your nerves or anything. Not that you're not cute, cause you are!" she added quickly, not wanting to hurt his feelings by possibly implying that he wasn't cute. "And you are very handsome in that suit, too! And... I would never call a guy 'hot' to his face, but... you know..." she ended in a teasing voice, implying that he was indeed hot. Teasing him was so much fun!
