After waking up in a messy state, I Immediately shed my clothes and went directly into the shower. Still bewildered by the previous night's dream I remember getting an erection just thinking about the impossibly beautiful woman as I washed myself clean. usually great dreams like that usually disappeared when you wake up... like a bubble on a pinhead, But her face seem to be permeated in my brain, almost as if she was linked to me somehow...
I asked myself for a second time; 'Was she real?'
I emerged from my hot shower and immediately dried myself off. Taking the time to do the necessary, grooming and preparation for the date that I had with Aisha. but before that, i decided to do some research...
After showering and donning some fresh clothes, I immediately got out my MacBook and decided to lookup information on what Aisha told me about the 'Inari Kitsune'. With just one search, I had over 100 stories and definitions for what I was searching for. some links led me to stories about how they were beautiful trickster fox demons, who sometimes had more than one tail; depending on their age and power level. Most were gifted with the powers of projecting illusions and fox fire, The most powerful ones actually had powers of pyrokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation. they often feared being close to dogs and would usually flee once their identities as a Kitsune were exposed. some were known for quietly leading young men astray. And sometimes to a bad end; where the man was disgraced by his family, or stripped of their wealth and status... or even a more worse fate like death.
but other stories told of a lighter side of the spectrum, where the female Kitsune were actually devoted companions and even loving wives to the human men they entranced. sometimes staying with their lovers for life and bearing children with their human husbands. and sometimes guiding their husbands into expanding their wealth a hundred fold!
I leaned back in my chair and contemplated what was happening to me.
'Could it be that Toshio was right about that fox being something else? Am I possibly being seduced?.... nah, couldn't be...'
After my early morning online brainstorming I was feeling a little bit peckish, so I decided that I would get some breakfast!
You'd likely be surprised that they actually have a 'McDonald's' nearby! i was easily able to get the breakfast I wanted, Then I headed back to my hotel room just in time to get a call from Aisha. She told me of a famous amusement park in fujikyu highlands, so I agreed to go and spend the day with her. She agreed to pick me up outside the hotel in 15 minutes.
As soon as I put the phone receiver down on the cradle, I immediately heard a voice as clear as crystal right behind me:
"Don't forget me..."
I immediately spun around to see who it was behind me, finding that no one was in the hotel room except for me!
I started to get an uneasy feeling that something weird was going on. I've never been known for hearing things that weren't there, and I wasn't sure if my hotel room was haunted. but I know I clearly heard a woman's voice speaking to me just a moment ago!
After standing there for a moment, I grabbed my room key and my travel wallet with my alternate spending card (FYI, It's never good to carry all your ID's and money while walking around or sightseeing when abroad.) and headed to the door.
As I walked out of the hotel Aisha had just arrived. As I got in the car she seemed to be all smiles and said she would be sure to show me a great time since she was a roller coaster junkie. (Like I wasn't... bring it on!)
From spinning seats to extreme angle drops and speed, the roller coasters there had it all! It was almost as much fun as magic mountain or six flags, and about the same cost wise. I even took time at a toy booth and won Aisha a large stuffed animal! This was the first time in awhile that I had that much fun!
Around close to lunchtime the park was starting to get crowded, so we went to the in-park restaurants... we ended up getting some Yakitori from one place and for dessert we each had a candy apple. I wanted to make sure that I had eaten light in case Aisha had any more secret ride surprises for me.
As we sat and ate lunch, she had so many questions about my life in the United States. What my home was like and what not. She was surprised to find out that I was originally a country boy from a small farming community. I showed her pictures of my family and our farm, videos of our family picnics and archery competitions. Including one where my father and I had a one on one archery challenge against each other for speed and accuracy.
After seeing the video, Aisha was a little disappointed with my dad... mostly because I kept winning, so he kept demanding that we replay the challenge until I let him win...
"Demarco-San, Your father is a sore loser and a cheat..." Aisha said flatly.
"That's true, he's highly competitive..." I replied while smiling. "But you saw for yourself that I won fair and square 3 times... I just let him have the last win so he could feel like he was still on top! But don't let his competitive attitude fool you. other than that, he really is a great dad who has taught me a lot!"
"Oh, you have Horses, they're so beautiful!..." Aisha said as the video changed to showing me and my brothers on horseback in our field.
"Yep, we have 8 of them!" I replied. while finishing my food. "Hey, Your Yakitori is getting cold..."
"Oh yes..." she handed my phone back so she could continue eating her food. While she was eating, I began putting the phone into my hip pocket when suddenly, I heard a woman's voice whisper in my ear again:
"I'm waiting for you..."
I spun around quickly, but again Saw nobody was there.
This was not lost on Aisha, who was looking on and began to be puzzled by my actions...
"Is something wrong, Demarco-San?..." she asked. "...you're looking kind of agitated..."
"I'm not sure," I replied. "I think I need to go to the restroom for a minute..." Which wasn't exactly a half truth... my morning breakfast was catching up with me, So I did actually need to use the restroom... But at this point, I think I also needed to splash some water on my face to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.
"Oh, sure! The restroom area is right over there, Demarco-San!" Aisha said, pointing in the direction of the nearby men's and women's restrooms.
"Thanks Aisha-chan! I'll be right back in a few minutes!" I said, as I went to the direction of the restrooms.
The first thing I did upon reaching the restroom was splash cold water on my face. I looked at my face and examined my eyes to make sure that I didn't look like I had any type of drugs or weird psychedelics in my system.
Was I tripping out?! What was wrong with me?
While I was contemplating my situation, my original call of nature reminded me of why I was in the restroom to begin with; so I proceeded to the toilet to finish my original business.
