Enchanted in the Moonlight; The Cursed Ayakashi

You Idiot!

Seika's Pov

"Seiji?"

"Seika...who are these people?" Seiji asks.

No way. Seiji is standing in front of me. While all these ayakashi are here! And while they're not in their human forms!

I begin to choke on my food but I quickly gain my composure, "Seiji, what're you doing here?"

"I came to pick you up like you asked. Don't you remember?" Seiji asks me.

Take note: Scold myself for letting this one slip up later.

"Yes, I do remember." I reply.

"Sorry for walking in without knocking. The door was slightly open, so I became worried. I didn't know you had guests tonight." Seiji says with a confused expression.

"Oh. No. These are Kimura Seo's guests. They're modeling a new fashion line based on the supernatural. She's using ayakashi as her main muse." I say as I make up an excuse on the spot. Okay Seika, that was a great explanation! There shall be no scolding later!

"I understand." Seiji says with a smile, "But are you sure you'd like to leave your guests unattended while you go out to dinner?"

"They'll be fine. Besides, Samon is here as well." I reply, putting Samon on the spot.

"Oh, hello Samon! It's a been a while, hasn't it?" Seiji says kindly.

"Indeed it has." Samon says with a warm smile.

"Well, I shall be on my way now." I say as I pick up my purse.

"Why don't we eat here instead, Seika?" Seiji asks as I freeze in my tracks.

"W-what?!" I ask in shock.

Seiji, don't give them any ideas!

"Yeah. Why don't you guys eat here instead?" Miyabi asks with a smirk, making my eye twitch from anger.

But before I could give my answer, Seiji was plopped beside Samon, already in a full conversation with the guys. I sighed as I sat between Seiji and Miyabi. Guess I wasted a good dress on nothing.

"Seiji, right?" Chikage asks.

"Yes. That is correct." Seiji replies.

"I am curious to know what kind of business purposes you have with the miss." Chikage says, his glare turning to me.

"I am an anime producer and writer." Seiji says with a professional tone, "I would like to use Seika as my main inspiration in an anime series I am currently in the process of making."

"Seika's going to be drawn into an anime character? Are you sure your men audience is going to like that? I mean she is a little flatter in the chest area than most average girls." Miyabi whispers to Seiji, obviously knowing that I'm sitting between them.

"You act as if I can't hear that. I am between you, you doof." I say with a calm aura as I eat my food.

"How odd." Miyabi says with an eyebrow raise and smirk, "I was hoping you'd flip out on me for saying that one."

"I have more self control than you may think." I reply sweetly, while in reality, I wanted to flip him onto the table for that crude joke of his!

"I'm surprised." Kyoga says, "I never knew you could be so calm."

"Well, she is a grown women. But I could be wrong, she could still be an immature girl after all." Chikage says with a smirk.

Okay, now I'm starting to get pissed off! "I am at the age 25. I'm sure most humans would have matured by my age." I say kindly, through my teeth.
