Back to You - Dan Heng IL, Blade

7. A Glance of His True Self

"Oh my... This is SO..." he cleared his throat "It's... okay" he said as they entered in a big room with a pool full of warm water. The steam was coming out and the scent was actually so good. 

Everything was better, Dan Heng actually was shouting inside to have a warm shower. He cried inside as he could have washed himself while Blade was on a mission, but he of course didn't know and didn't ask because too focus on his plan to get more information about the world he was in.

"What are you waiting for?" Dan Heng turned as he noticed Blade undressing himself from the armor. 

Dan Heng turned his stare and sighed nervously. He smiled happily as he noticed a room divider. He walked, trying not to fall again on his tail and got behind it.

Blade couldn't help but laughing "What's wrong? Back to the Sanctuary you weren't used to people bathing you?" he asked to then look at the ceiling "Oh right, you don't remember anything yet"

Dan Heng gnashed his teeth "Currently I am willing to protect my image from anyone of these Lands as I am an outsiders" he said to then try to remove his kimono. He sighed heavily as he looked at the garments on the last layer and finally when he was almost naked, the fabric got stuck in the tail.

"C'mon" Dan Heng started to jump a little "Fucking tai... Wo wO!" he opened up his eyes as he didn't notice his jumping led him to be close to the pool till of course he fell in it. 

Blade was laying his armor in a place, he then heard the thud and turned. He noticed Dan Heng coming out the water.

"Damn, my back" he cursed feeling like the fall on the water was an awful slap to his back. He got shivers for a moment to then release a sigh of relief as the water was so warm and good. The pool wasn't that deep, the water was mostly covering a little bit up his chest.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed a lot the fact he was finally get his body clean. He heard a thud and opened his eyes, seeing Blade getting back to the surface. The body was tonic, with actually some scars a bit around the whole body. 

In silence, Dan Heng tried to swim towards a corner to avoid to be close to the Prince. If he was Yinxing he would have just tried to improvise a WWE move to start a fight like they used to do whenever they were having a break in the swimming pool trainings, but he couldn't risk to get drowned.

He almost shouted to then recognize his tail shining thanks to the clean water. He grabbed it and looked at it "It's so sensible" he muttered annoyed to then touch a little the last part that had a bit of fluffy azure hair. He couldn't help but laugh "So sensible" it was the same feeling of someone tickling your toe.

Blade was focus for a moment on himself, but he then turned as he heard Dan Heng laughing. He was confused on his reaction that looked too real to be an act. It seriously looked like he wasn't recognizing himself. He was curious and surprised of his own tail, and he was even playing with it to try to understand how sensible it was.

"Why do you look less worried about bathing with me now?" Blade asked and Dan Heng in that moment got back to the real world and remind there was actually another person there.

"Oh? I am used to see naked men. After Physical Education, you could see all my classmates along with Yinxing do weird things with their..." he blocked himself and Blade tilted his head. Dan Heng smiled "It's all good, as long as we keep this distance" he said.

Literally Blade was on the entrance of the pool on the extreme side opposite as his.

Fair enough.

"Why do you speak in such a weird way" Blade left an annoyed glance "In the ancient tomes it's told you've never been close to any man" he left a smirk and started to walk towards him "Nor woman because you dedicated your life in the sanctuary I destroyed" and Blade felt satisfied as he noticed Dan Heng opening up his eyes in terror.
