Chapter 23 - DATE

After all this fiasco the meeting ended. When the trio were returning nobody talked. Azazel and Vali were pretty down casted. And Sparda had a jolly expression on his face. Suddenly Azazel stopped walking.

Azazel: Brat you know you almost gave me a heart attack back there.

Sparda: I don't know what you are talking about.

Azazel: Good job Sparda… I am proud of you!! Just be careful of Susanoo from now on.

Sparda: What do you mean??

Azazel: Susanoo is lady Amaterasu's brother and when he comes to know about your small love story he won't be happy at all.

Sparda: That can be a problem but don't worry about the small stuff, when the time comes I will take care of it.

After that, they were making small conversations until they reached their home. Then they continued their daily life for a few days before Sparda received a message from Amaterasu. The message said that she would be free on Sunday and asked Sparda to meet her infront of their meeting venue for their date.

~SUNDAY~

Today was different Sparda woke up early, he was really excited about his first date. He then went to get freshen up and took a bath and he began to get dressed up. He wore a black pant and undershirt and wore a deep violet blazer on top of the undershirt. The clothes really complimented his looks. He quickly came downstairs to meet Azazel and Vali waiting for him with a smug face.

Azazel: I see you are pretty eexcited about the date brat.

Sparda: Hell yes I am.

Vali: Just don't do something I would do.

Sparda: Yes ofcouse I won't stare at her butt, Butt Dragon Emperor.

Vali: What did you say??!!

Azazel: Calm down and he has a solid point there.

Then Sparda went out and went towards their meeting place. He reached there about 9.40am and waited for Amaterasu to arrive. After waiting for 10 minutes a magic circle appeared and 3 people came out of it. It were 2 male guards who he met in the meeting and Amaterasu. She was wearing a beautiful white one piece dress which had intricate design braided into it. Her hair was tied behind her head in a single ponytail which made her look more beautiful.

She started walking towards Sparda and the guards went back using the same magic circle.

Sparda: You look really beautiful and mesmerizing

Amaterasu: Y- You also look quite dashing.

Sparda: Then small we begin my lady??\

Amaterasu: Yes.

Sparda: When you showed up with your guards for a moment I thought that they would also join us.

Amaterasu: They were sent by my brother Tsukuyomi to make sure that you are here to receive me.

They soon reached a mall. Amaterasu saw few dresses in the store and her eyes started sparkling. Sparda saw that and took her inside the store. At first Amaterasu was really embarrassed that she lost her calm as a goddess. But Sparda assured her that he was happy that she was behaving a like a girl should. Amaterasu tried a lot of dresses and decided to buy all of them. Sparda paid for the dresses and asked the shopkeeper to hold onto for them. Since they were on a date they cannot carry around so many bags.

Sparda may be smiling on the outside but he was crying tears of blood from the inside. He lost all his savings in one go. He decided to earn some money that he wouldn't face this problem again. Then they went to a restaurant to have their lunch and then Sparda took her to watch a movie. Amaterasu selected a horror movie. Sparda wanted to reject that but then Amaterasu decide to use a lethal weapon puppy dog eyes. Sparda couldn't deny her anymore and decided to sacrifice himself.

Then they bought popcorn and cola to eat while watching the movie. During the whole movie Sparda was holding Amaterasu's hand tightly while continuously shaking but on the other hand Amaterasu was watching the movie with sparkling eyes. After the movie ended they got out and Sparda's whole body was shaking time to time. He was still holding Amaterasu hand. When Amaterasu noticed Sparda holding her hand tighly she got beet red but didn't say anything.

Amaterasu: Do you know a place from where we can see the sunset.

Sparda then took her to a nearby park where they both sat on a bench watching the sun slowly moving towards horizon.

Amaterasu: Sparda don't you find it odd that me being the Goddess of the sun watching it set. But for some reason I find, dusk as a mysterious, almost magical time, serving as the bridge between the brightness of day and the darkness of night.

Sparda: There is nothing wrong with that. Sun sets to that it can shine more brightly on the next day.

Amaterasu then leaned closer towards him, which Sparda understood and also leaned towards her and their lips met. When the sun set completely only then they parted from each other. Amaterasu was embracing him.

Amaterasu: Let me stay like this for a while.

Sparda didn't say anything just complied to her by not moving. After few minutes she let him go and after that they both got up and got out of the park. Then they went towards to store to collect all bags of clothes. Then Sparda took her to the place where she was dropped off by her guards. Then she activated a magic circle and contacted her guards. After a couple seconds her guards arrived and waited for her in the magic circle. Amaterasu began to walk towards the circle but she quickly spun back and gave Sparda a quick peck on lips and quickly ran to the circle.

Sparda: I am looking forward to our next date.

Amaterasu: Me too.

After saying that she teleported along with her guards and Sparda started walking towards him home.
