Date Night

Miko gladly climbed inside and greeted Ei, “Well good evening to you too, Ei, I never took you as the hard-to-wake type. Do you have any idea how long my poor claw was even tapping for?” The kitsune held up a finger towards Ei, “Kiss it better?”The kagemusha leaned in closer to the kitsune to take a better look. Upon her expert inspection, she deduced that the finger was in perfectly fine condition, however Miko proved to be a difficult one to say no to. In a barely audible whisper Ei finally spoke up, “Miko, why did you journey all the way from the shrine to wake me?” Ei didn’t mention the potential dangers the other could have faced on such a journey at night, yet the stammer in her voice implied her concern. The finger was pushed closer to Ei’s face, when she looked past it, she realized Miko was staring her down with the saddest puppy dog eyes in the world. The shrine maiden whimpered pathetically when they made eye contact. Quickly glancing away, Ei compromised, “Answer me first, please…” A hopeless romantic, whose entire knowledge of love comes from cliche romance novels, and a shut-in body double, whose hobbies include sparring and blacksmithing, go on their first date together.
