Fallen Scales

Trouble in Paradise

It would be any mans dream for a beautiful woman is crying tears of joy on their chest. But for Issei, he wasn't sure about his feelings. A part of him wanted to enjoy this but at the same time he was nervous, almost scared. He felt like if he opened his heart to Kuroka she would, much like how Rias attempted to do, use him for her own goals. Yet he had a feeling that Kuroka was being sincere. He didn't feel anything sinister coming from her. The longer he was in her embrace he almost felt....happy. Almost.

"You should probably go take a shower before you sleep" Issei suggested.

Kuroka hesitantly removed herself before looking out the window. He was right. It was closing into dawn and they both still needed to eat. She nodded before she made her way to the bathroom and take a shower.

After a few moments Isse began to realize he suddenly felt a bit cold. He looked down to his body then had a major realization. He was still in his towel.

[Scene Break]

Once Kuroka had finished taking her shower, she and Issei both got dressed and made their way to the lobby of the motel. Whilst they were walking Issei asked her why she chose to come to his room to crash in. Apparently the aura of a Dragon is an attractive one.

When they reached the lobby Issei noticed that the old man from before eyed him before walking over. "Not even a few hours and you already have a girl with you hehe" The man joked.

"There was a change in plans" Issei said.

"Hmmm" The man stared towards Kuroka, almost as if he were analyzing her. Issei hoped he wouldn't suspect anything but because of the way Kuroka wore her kimono it was unlikely. "You see my boy, this motel has a rule against bringing a "special" type of woman"

"That wouldn't be a problem because sh-" Before Issei could finish, Kuroka cut him off and dug Issei's arm into her breast.

"I'm his betrothed nya" Kuroka interrupted.

Issei mentally slapped himself after letting Kuroka cut him off. He would have never expected her to come up with that explanation.

"His betrothed?" The man asked.

"Y-yeah. She came in last minute so we decided to share a room" Issei said convincingly.

Issei prayed that the old man believed the story Kuroka made him make up. Fortunately for them it seemed that their plan was a success when the old man gave off a perverted grin.

"Oh I bet you're gonna enjoy sharing that room my boy" The old man said while nudging Issei's side. "I'll make sure to leave something very special in your room" With that, the old man ran to the room behind the register, grabbed a box and ran down the hallway.

Issei sighed in annoyance while Kuroka held onto his arm. "You're enjoying this aren't you?" Issei asked.

"What gave it away nya?" Kuroka replied.

Issei sighed in annoyance while Kuroka rested her head on his shoulder. Issei didn't other to attempt to remove her head so he let it be for now. After a while of wandering the streets of Kyoto the duo finally found a decent restaurant. But when they had to pay for the food they quickly realized neither one of them had money and so Issei once again had to use one of his scales.

Instead of wanting to sit and eat in the restaurant, Kuroka convinced Issei to go and eat in their room. Issei was curious as to why she wanted this but realized that innocent or not she was still a wanted criminal so going back to their room was for the best.
