In the early hours of the morning, when dense mist brought on by the shrine's altitude still drifted through the grounds, not a sound could be heard.
Within a room in this shrine, Son Wu lay in his bed, shifting softly. His body, finely tuned to a warrior's discipline, began to wake of its own accord. Admittedly, on days like these, he would damn his conditioning and sleep in, but he had made a promise...
Son Wu sat up in his bed, the blankets falling off his bare chest.
He wondered when Miko would show, rubbing his eyes as he-
He moved his hands from his eyes, finding Miko sitting on the side of his bed.
"Did you get a good night's sleep, grumpy...?" Miko asked.
"I haven't been grumpy in a while..." Wu murmured. "And yes, I did..." He said, and Miko rose, giving Wu space to leave the bed. "How are you already so cleaned up?" Wu asked, his gaze flicking up Miko's form, seeing her already pristine, dressed in her usual shrine maiden getup.
"I have my secrets...~" Miko said, her eyes sparking with delight at Wu's wandering eyes.
Wu walked past Miko, leaving the room, but keeping a slow enough pace for her to follow
"A date, huh...?" Wu asked her.
"A date, yes..." Miko said.
----------
"...Pardon...?" Wu asked quietly. We have returned to the night before.
Yae Miko snickered, shaking her head.
"Did you think I would drag you down into the covers and let you ravish me here and now? After I've shattered my carefully curated persona and poured my guts out to you...?" Miko asked. "No... If and when that happens, it will happen the right way, under my control... I won't confine myself to a one-night-stand..." She said, her voice laced with a particularly bright flash of her inherent fire. "I have much more to share with you than my flesh... That I promise..." She declared.
...
"O-Okay..." Wu muttered, his arms uncurling from Miko's form.
"I'll be here first thing in the morning... Don't you try to run from me... Not yet..." Miko said, huffing as she smoothed down her hair, rising to depart.
Wu watched as she left the room in a hurry.
...
"Hm..." He made a noise of simple acknowledgement, lying back on his mattress.
------------
"Haven't we already gone out together a few times? And I spend almost all my time on the shrine here with you somewhere in my proximity..." Wu reasoned. We are back to the present...
"You see my agony now, you tease..." Miko hissed. "I still believed I am owed a real outing now that we are both very in-tuned with what we desire of each other... A true date..." She said.
"I thought you were a cynic...?" Wu asked.
"That's just who you are, Wu... You've brought the magic back into my life..." She sighed, almost annoyed.
"Hm..." Wu nodded. "I'm not sure we'd have any sort of experience when everyone has something to say about He Who Dared..." Wu muttered.
"I've a remedy for that." Miko said.
----------
Wu, after a brief bath and further hygiene ministrations, was sat down by Miko in her room, seated on a stool before a mirror. Miko took a seat to his side, and Wu was forced to crane his neck down, allowing her to give him what she called a "makeover".
