Chapter 2448 Spell, Crook And Handle:>96
- Kat on the other hand was as subtle as Surisa was a force of nature. She seduced me in increments that only scientists use. I didn't realize how passionately I had fallen for her until she wanted me to know. The first time we made love was while we were walking in one of the many parks in Tokyo. I suspected something was up when Sora and Yuki, our bodyguards, fell back to within line of sight range. Kat led me to a nice quiet spot free of close circuit cameras, grabbed me and kissed me. What followed was volcanic and burned both of us. The sexual tension had been so high and so intense that a single kiss ignited a frenzy of undressing, fondling and body pounding volatility that left bite marks, scratches and a few claw marks on my back. I marked her in other ways that were deeper and not so easily seen. We did leave enough biological evidence for a crime scene though and that always made us giggle.
- The third month was a turning point for me. I was putting in sixty hour work weeks and needed a break. I began taking my weekends and visiting monasteries and shrines all over the Tokyo area and those close enough to drive to. It was during one of my road trips that I met and made friends with Master Kenji. The mountain shrine that he maintained was small and out of the way but perfect for my needs. We struck up an understanding almost instantly. He was very accommodating about what he called my misfortune and I was equally accepting of the fact that he was a Tengu, a mountain spirit. There were tons of stories and myths describing the Tengu and most of them were dead wrong. While a few stories touch on the immortality and great power the Tengu possess they don't know why.
- Tengu are beings native to the earth that arose prior to the birth of multicellular life. They are entities tied to certain areas and Kenji was born when the Japanese archipelago rose from the ocean floor. He had been here long before any plant or animal life arrived here and likely he would be here long after it was gone. Of all the life forms that have migrated to the islands he found man the most interesting and most destructive. He had chosen me as one of his students simply for the fact that he felt I really wasn't human. When I argued about that he explained his stance on that particular subject.
