Another two weeks passed, and day by day, things seemed to get less and less tense between Yanagi and Irina.
Well, on Yanagi's side at least, there wasn't any tenseness at all when it came to his twin tailed lover.
After he threw around Hyoudou, he'd met Yanagi at her place and they'd revealed the news that they were dating.
Though not that Irina was involved as well…yet.
The Uzaki family took it quite well…except for Fujio, who'd had some form of mental break down and wailed weirdly and got all defensive.
Honestly, Kaito was more amused by it than anything else. Especially since, the man couldn't help but rush to his 'aid' to spot him at the gym whenever they were both present.
And considering how much time he spend there that was a lot. It was so amusing seeing the man give him the stink eye, before praising him on instinct when he got a set of reps down.
…Course then Yanagi had to ruin his fun by telling her dad that Kaito himself didn't have a father and that when they got married, Fujio would be his father in law and well, technically his dad.
And ever since then he'd taken to badgering Kaito into calling him papa.
He of course, did not do so.
Which led him to now, sitting on the floor in his apartment with a familiar dark, corrupted holy blade laid across his lap.
Yanagi and Irina were currently bustling around the kitchenette area of the home and the television was blaring with some magical girl anime of some sort.
He ignored it all and stared down at the blade.
'…What to do with you?' he wondered, drumming his fingers atop his thigh in thought.
Just by wrapping his hand around the hilt, he could feel his physical prowess and magical power soar upwards.
It was truly a potent weapon for sure.
The problem lay in one thing.
He could not use its absorption ability, not while within it, currently resisted the cursed black flames of Canis Lykaon.
He was in quite the conundrum in that regard. If he wanted to use the potent absorption ability, he would have to get rid of the flames in it.
But at the same time, the cursed black flames were powerful, incredibly powerful. They were flames that could burn even a god after all.
The only option he could think of to keep the flame in some form, beyond letting it stay in the sword, was keeping it inside his Sacred Gears, or having one of them absorb the flame like he did with Satanael's corpse.
…Or.
He'd discovered something odd over the last two weeks while continuing his training to sense magic with Irina.
He'd gotten it down.
And in the process, he was able to call upon his magic power. Though, there was something…odd about it.
When he first called upon it, he'd instinctively coated it around his entire body somehow, cloaking his body in an aura of bright crimson power, a lot like his Touki, but not his Touki.
…And just like his Touki, it had increased his physical abilities quite substantially, around the same amount as his Touki.
'Which isn't normal according to Irina.' he mused. According to her, one simply spreading their power across their body did not empower them, it didn't for humans and it didn't even for devils.
And when he was using it, he could freely control it, change its shape and extend it beyond his body.
Honestly, according to Irina, it gave her a similar feel as his dragon fire did.
So, his best guess, was that it was some kind of dragon magic?
With it…could he perhaps, absorb the flames? Devour them and add them to his dragon fire?
"Oi, meat head," the voice of Yanagi broke him from his thoughts and he looked up to see the short white haired girl was standing above him with a toothy grin, "Put that sword away will ya'? Dinner's almost ready."
Huh, he hadn't even noticed her approaching. Had he been that deep in thought?
"Alright." he shrugged and agreed. He grasped the sword with his Twice Critical clad hand and with a thought, stored it back inside the Sacred Gear.
And then blinked as Yanagi promptly took its spot on his lap as soon as he did so, her grin turning cheshire.
"I thought dinner was ready?" he snorted, but didn't stop himself from wrapping his arms around her waist.
"It is, and I cooked most of it, Irina agreed to put it out for us, so I've got a few minutes to cuddle with you." Yanagi leaned back and rubbed her nose against the bottom of his chin, like a cat preening and searching for praise.
And wiggled her backside into his crotch.
…This girl.
He could feel himself beginning to harden from her motions and it definitely didn't help that all she was wearing…was a tight pink sweater and tiny white shorts that didn't even reach mid thigh.
"You tease." he growled softly down at her, before tilting his head and capturing her soft lips with his own.
Yanagi moaned into his mouth as he slipped his tongue between her lips, and then moaned even louder once more as his hands came up to cup her absolutely huge, soft tits through her sweater.
As he fondled her huge tits and kissed her silly, he ground himself into her backside and noticed, the hard nubs poking through her sweater.
She wasn't wearing a bra.
He slid his hands along her tits so his fingers could reach and gently pinched and pulled on her hard nipples through it.
She broke the kiss, a soft squeal of, "Ah~!" leaving her pretty and pink moist lips.
"Mou, seriously?" the pouty voice of Irina made the both of them pause and look to see her balancing a plate of steaming food in each hand, "Stealing a march like that while I'm setting the food out isn't fair Yanagi-chan!"
