The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo] 

"So, who are you going to propose next?" Dora asked as she ran her fingers over my chest. She had a Cheshire cat-like grin marring her face. I wasn't expecting anything less as I spent a couple of days worth of time fulfilling Dora's bizarre fetishes. Well, I obviously had to accelerate the time inside our room. 

"I do have someone in mind" I answered vaguely with a cheeky grin on my face. Dora glared at me and moments later, her lips started to tremble and her eyes started to fill up with tears in anime style. 

"Come on, Dora. That is not going to work" I deadpanned and Dora harrumphed cutely and puffed out her cheeks like a child. I started to chuckle and poked her cheek with my finger. Once again, Dora glared at me and then she decided to laugh. 

"Fine… you don't have to tell me. I am going to sleep if you don't mind, my whole body is sore" Dora moaned as she stretched her body. I simply rolled my eyes. 

"I remember someone screaming 'Don't Stop' at the top of her lungs" I said in an amused tone and Dora gave me a filthy look. 

"I wasn't complaining, I was simply pointing out how you ravished my tender body" Dora said with a goofy grin on her face and once again I decided to ignore her teasing. Slowly the two of us started to fall asleep in each other's arms…

<Line Break>

I woke up the next morning and found that Dora was still deeply asleep, so I slowly and gently extracted myself from the bed and made my way towards the bathroom. I needed to be fresh before meeting the next woman I was planning to propose to. 

After a nice and warm relaxing shower, I quickly got dressed in some casual clothes. Dora was still fast asleep, I leaned down over her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. A goofy smile appeared on Dora's face and she snuggled into the bed. After casting some warming Charms over the bed, I disappeared from the room. 

Moments later, I found myself standing in a Zen Garden. "Shoes are not allowed in here, Danna-Sama" Yachiru said in a monotone and continued to sip her tea. I quickly got rid of my shoes and the dirt I brought inside. 

"Would you like some tea?" Yachiru offered with a pleasant smile on her face. 

"Yeah, sure" I muttered as I sat down on the opposite side at the small table placed in front of Yachiru. She beamed at me with a bright smile on her face and started to pour me some tea like a traditional housewife. It was a beautiful sight… Yachiru gently pushed the cup towards me after the cup was filled. 

I picked up the cup and took a small sip. I wasn't a tea enthusiast, so I didn't know how to rate a tea, but it was surely delicious. "I like what you did with this place" I said as I looked around. Yachiru smiled politely and gave me a grateful nod. 

Yachiru had decided to transform an empty room into a Zen Garden. "It helps me relax, you must try it out some time, Danna-Sama" Yachiru said in a polite tone and I simply decided to agree with her. 

"By the way, are you free today?" I asked Yachiru and after that, I took another sip from my cup, but my eyes were fixated on Yachiru. 

"I was supposed to train Sona and her peerage today, but I can call it off" Yachiru answered with a small nod. I simply nodded my head in agreement. "Please wait here, I will be back in a moment" Yachiru said and disappeared in a wisp of red mist. She went to visit the Sitri Mansion to leave a message. 

Yachiru appeared in front of me after a whole minute. "So, where will you be taking me?" Yachiru asked curiously and I finally finished my tea. 

"I have a few places in mind, but do you have something in mind?" I asked Yachiru as I placed my cup on the table. Yachiru tilted her head with a contemplative look on her face, and moments later, a gentle smile appeared on her face. 

"Yes. I always wanted to visit an aquarium. I have heard a lot of interesting things from the others" Yachiru answered and I internally shrugged as I didn't mind taking her to an aquarium. It has been some time since I have gone to an aquarium myself. 

"Sure, let's go then" I said with a grin and slowly stood up on my feet. After that, I gently extended my hand towards Yachiru. She gave me a kind smile and accepted my hand. Moments later, both of us found ourselves standing outside the entrance of Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. 

Like always, the normal humans completely ignored us. Georgia Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the world housing more than 100,000 sea creatures. Since Yachiru wanted to see an aquarium, I decided to take her to the best and the biggest aquarium. 

"Where are we?" Yachiru asked softly as she eagerly looked around, taking in all the sights. 

The Georgia Aquarium in this World was run and maintained by Fallen Angels. It was one of their biggest money makers. I quickly led Yachiru towards the entrance. After paying the entrance fee, I led Yachiru inside the building. Both of us were holding hands, but all the others were doing the same too, so anybody could hardly complain. 

But Yachiru was starting to get weird looks from everyone around us due to her clothes. I was dressed casually, but Yachiru was dressed in her usual getup. She was wearing a black shihakusho with a reddish-black obi along with a matching haori. Yachiru skillfully ignored all the looks and after some time, the others also stopped giving her weird looks. 

Both Yachiru and I really enjoyed ourselves in the aquarium. I have seen all the aquatic creatures in the World, but it was still interesting and Yachiru was having the time of her life. She was looking around at everything like a curious child while asking some questions about those creatures from time to time. 

Hours later, the two of us found ourselves sitting inside a restaurant inside the aquarium building. Of course, it would be bad business if the tourists need to go outside to have lunch or some snacks. Currently, Yachiru was intently looking through the menu card as she wanted to try some seafood available here. Unfortunately, none of the dishes were appealing to her. 

I smiled wryly at the waitress, who returned a similarly wry smile. I suppose the waitress was quite used to this kind of scene… I can't imagine that Yachiru was the only one who acted like this. Yep, there were others too who were taking their time to choose a dish. 

"Can we have fried lobster along with a goan crab curry?" Yachiru finally made up her mind and it took her more than 5 minutes in total. The waitress nodded her head and quickly made her way towards the kitchen. 

"This is a great place, I never knew there were so many types of creatures living under the sea" Yachiru gushed out, looking somewhat excited, but she was trying to act normally. 

"I am glad that you like it" I answered with a grin and Yachiru slightly blushed and she meekly nodded her head. 

"Thank you, Danna-Sama" Yachiru whispered in a low tone, but my hearing was extremely good, so I clearly heard her words. After that, I slowly grabbed her hand under the table and gave a gentle squeeze. Yachiru's blush intensified by several levels and it was pretty amusing to watch. 

After that, the two of us kept talking about random things. All topics were welcome, but since Yachiru was in her gentle and kind persona, all the murder happy topics were thankfully avoided. The waitress finally arrived with our orders and Yachiru's eyes grew wide when she saw the size of the Lobster. 

It took us some time to finish the food, but it was extremely delicious. After clearing the bill, we decided to continue our trip as half of the aquarium was left for us to explore. We finally arrived in the shark enclosure and Yachiru was taken by the sharks… weirdly, she found them cute and cuddly. Anyways, I didn't have any grounds to complain… 

"Can we have some candy floss?" Yachiru asked cutely when we finally walked out of the aquarium. Yachiru was tightly hugging her shark stuffed toy. She looked so cute right now!! 

"Anything for you" I said as I bought Yachiru some candy floss. The two of us sat down on a bench outside the aquarium. After some time Yachiru finally finished the candy floss, and I decided to store her stuffed toy inside my Storage Space for now. 

"Where are we going?" Yachiru questioned, she looked slightly sad as she had to part from her cute shark toy. 

"Right now, we are at the finale of our date, my dear. From what I remember, a certain purple mist user displeased you some time ago, didn't he?" I asked and slowly Yachiru lost her gentle and kind smile which was replaced by a cruel grin. Her gentle and kind eyes became gloomy and menacing. 

Before she could say anything, the two of us appeared near the Tokyo Bridge. We found that the bridge was barricaded by purple mist and a dozen tengus were fighting some humans. Yasaka could be seen standing in front of her daughter Kunou in a protective manner. 

"Yachiru, why don't you show them the error of their ways?" I offered and a twisted grin formed on Yachiru's face and she slowly started to release her bloodlust. The fight stopped as everyone finally noticed Yachiru's bloodlust. 

"I would love love to" Yachiru said hoarsely and started to cackle in mad glee…
