Nasuko arose after grasping his hand, the warmth from his palms felt rather strange to her. Once standing she adjusted her surfer grab then proceeded to the edge of the water. The beautiful sapphire hues amazed her while she watched the tides roll in and then drift back out.

In her many travels the Mutt had seen many oceans and seas; but none seemed to hold a candle to this. The people who were hip deep in the ocean seemed like an aquatic race, the way they seemed to guilde through the water effortlessly. For having seen so many bodies of water; Nasuko had never really tested her skill in the art of swimming. This would surely be interesting.

With a hair-band she had kept around her wrist she tied her hair back into a high pony-tail, leaving a few bangs to frame her delicate face. "Last one in is a rotten bat heart~!" She exclaimed afterward then barrled off past the beach and drove herself through a wave as it reached for the shore. Her thin, pale body soon vanished underneath the surface.

Despite how warm it had been in the sunlight, Nasuko hadn't prepared herself for the water to be so chilly. She felt her body tug with the current of the ocean, along with a few twitches as it began to adjust to the cool liquid. Breaking the surface with a small intake of air Nasuko reappeared a short ways out.

It probably helped that since they were on a alien planet, it helped the males appreciate Nasuko's body a bit more. Of course Allen was pretty sure even back at home she got all sorts of attention, it was just that most of the time she probably wasn't even aware of it. She was a much more pretty girl then she gave herself credit for.

At her question, Allen couldn't help but give that warm smile of his. This was the entire point of the trip anyway; to spend time with her. The fact she was in her current state of dress was just a bonus.

"Sure. It beats just sitting here and being looked at." He offered his hand to help Nasuko up. This would also be a good time just to talk to her, but naturally something's wouldn't be brought up since they were in a public place. Her parents for example he was curious about since he never got the chance to know his biological parents himself.

Nasuko could feel the scummy eyes that fell upon her glorious body as it dazzled men even in the warm sunlight. Of course she looked stunning in her surfer grab but why these filthy-woman-hungry men were looking at her was way beyond her. No Human had really been interested in her before; then again no one seemed that curious about dear old Nasuko.

The Mutt blew a heavy sigh out between her lips and enjoyed Allens pressence as he rejoined her at her chosen location. "Perhaps that would be correct...or..." Nasuko trailed and turned to face Allen with her sunglasses tilted on her nose. "...They never saw a guy like you before. No?"

She then turned away from Allen, realizing just what the women saw in him. He was stunning in all the right places, she had just never seen it before. Ever since she left Nasuko couldn't get her mind off Lance. Sure he was with Dani now but it stung. Her idol, her beloved Lance...Gone and out of her reach. That was, until recently. These little adventures with Allen had really made a good impression on her. She no longer dreamt of Lance nor wondered how Dani was liking that Vampire/Demon.

A crooked smile spread across her paled lips as she turned back to Allen. "How about a dip in ze sea?"

Allen managed to get away from the girls soon enough luckily and went to go find Nasuko, who he didn't see at first. He could always track her Ki or scent but he hoped she wasn't upset at him..

..Where did that line of thinking come from? It made no sense for her too, but it had to have come from somewhere.

And probably somewhere he didn't really want to think about right now.

Out of everything though, Allen hardly expected to see Nasuko like she was. Okay that was dumb, it was a beach. Of course she would be getting dressed like that logically but seeing her like that made him look at her a bit differently then he was before. Almost like a light bulb was slowly turning on, only he was too stubborn to flip the switch--or rather he really didn't want too see where it would go once he turned the light on.

It was a strange analogy, but it worked.

Allen sat down not to far from Nasuko, deciding to just enjoy the scenery with Nasuko. He never really liked getting that kind of attention."Good grief, they act like they never saw a guy before or something." The other guys looking at Nasuko annoyed him for some reason, but he didn't comment about the thing.

The sun on Nasuko's naturally cold, pale skin felt a little out of place. Her eyes, having changed to a more ruby hue in the sunlight, gleamed with the reflection of the oceans waves at the edge of the beach. But then something distracted her and away from the beautiful sea that called for her. Women in small slips of clothing. They were flocking some where and Nasuko was determined to find out where.

The Mutt blinked however when she found they were after Allen. Just like the Succubus' of Hell to Mephistopheles. She rolled her eyes. What was so great about him anyways? Yeah he had a great body but it wasn't like a forgotten Greek God or something.

She blew out a sigh and left Allen to his new found glory. The sand under her feet was like walking on applesauce with her black leather boots. Soon she stopped, sinking in a few inches, then layed out a towel she had nabbed from the Inn and began to remove clothing. First her jacket than her jeans. All that remained was a black and blue bikini top and black surfer shorts to show off her milky white body.

The men scattered around the beach immediately homed-in on this unusual scene and all began to gawk and stare blankly at Nasuko Moxington. Whether she knew this or not was unknown.

(OCC: Going to do a minor time skip to the beach)

Allen didn't realize his mind had sort of..drifted to other things when Nasuko came back in her outfit where he could see more skin. It didn't help that he could see the lower part of her bathing suit such as the black under-garment. What she was wearing or lack of was drawing attention to her shapely hips, he didn't think he noticed them as much before...

'Damn it stop it.' He scolded himself mentally. Allen wasn't sure the last time his hormones had been acted up like this. They hadn't been this bad since Dani..

Wait. Was that the reason? Allen remembered hearing that Alusarian's tended to act this way around people they considered 'mates'. So if he was acting like this, then did at least subconsciously have deeper feelings for the other half-breed then even he knew? Whatever the case may have been, he was going to figure it out eventually on his own.

* *

They arrived on the beach in style, and when they got there, other girls and boys were already walking around and enjoying themselves. Allen had choose to wait until they got there before getting dressed, figuring that made the most sense out of all the options he could have taken.

Allen came back in some swimming trunks, he looked pretty handsome with them. Not to say he wasn't normally but it made people notice him a bit more, in fact some of the other girls seemed to and flocked to Allen. Whether he wanted too or not, he had gotten their attention. They seemed to be ignoring Nasuko, for the most part.

By the time they were ready to head out, Nasuko was dressed in a blaze orange jacket, a black under-garment and blue jeans. She slung the dufflebag over her shoulder then turned to Allen. "Alright. Beach party here we come!" She exclaimed happily, giving Allen a wink and a thumbs up.

They traveled down the road from the Inn a short ways first in order to pick up a critical object for their trip. The Shop where her bike was being fixed. The shop smelt of oil and sweat; only people with a true passion for mechanics could enjoy such an awful stench.

It was Nasuko alone who went inside to pay and retrive said bike then drove it through the garage door after payment. Under the burning sun she could see the metal gleam like it had when she first rode it. Like looking into a lake of Quick Silver. It dazzled and amazed her. Several times before allowing Allen to hitch a ride she shouted with pure enjoyment and continued to push the engine into a roaring rage.

"All aboard!" She finally said, putting on a pair of sunglasses that she had stored for the occasion.

Allen was tempted to say that Nasuko should wear her swimming clothes to their destination, but thought it best not to say it. For one good reason and that was the fact he was likely going have to hold onto her again while riding with her on the bike may not be the best thing. For obvious reasons.

By this time, he gathered the rest of his things, not that he really needed all that much to begin with."I think you should wait until you get there, but I marked where the beach is at on the map while you were asleep so we won't have trouble getting there."

There was one thing he wasn't looking forward to, and that was guys looking at Nasuko. Whether she thought so or not, the young woman was a very pretty girl and he knew guys would be flocking to her once they got to the beach.

While Allen made most of the conversation Nasuko began stuffing her face, somehow managing to keep it graceful. She reached for something to drink, swallowed it down, then turned to look at Allen again. "Well I'm glad it's not just for my wealth, or my awesome super-powers, or even my dashing good looks." Joked Nasuko. "I'm glad to be traveling with anyone other than Raziel at this moment. Though you have definately made this trip worth while. I would probably starved by now; not to mention my bike situation. I guess I'm not all that All Powerful as I believe I am." With that stated, she once again began to eat and devour the delicious food at hand.

Once that was finished she helped with the dishes before gathering her things from around the bedroom. The map was stowed safely with her belongings which was carried in a small dufflebag. But then a thought bubbled through. "Hm...Should I put my swimming attire on now or when we arrive...??" She questioned herself out-loud. Nasuko hadn't been planning a trip for swimming but for some reason or another had brought a suit with just in case. Or was that just another mis-used outfit?

Allen knew there would be other girls at the beach with little clothing on but what he was really looking forward to but wouldn't say out loud just yet was seeing Nasuko in a bathing suit. It was probably going to be one of the bigger highlights of the trip there, the beach and the things up there would simply be gravy on everything else.

"Yeah, I kind of understand what you mean. Back in high school you had a lot of shallow girls like that. I didn't understand the point. I mean, beauty fades eventually for most people so once it did go away, where would you be left with?" Allen took another bite of his food, swallowing then went on. "If they only use their looks to keep their partner around, it won't last. Because there's always someone better looking so there has to be a deeper bond there in the first place."

He then shrugged, but smiled. "That's why I like hanging around you, you're hardly anything like girls like that. But I'm probably thinking too much on this again."

Nasuko slunk out of bed like a dreary cat awaken from it's peaceful slumber. Each step was light like that of a cautious deer in the forest. Then her liquid steel hues fell upon the food set out for them. Immediately her stomach lurched and growled in a starving fit and her mouth began to water. It had been a while since she got to taste Allen's cooking. Though he did most of it; lately she had been throwing cash around and they would go out. If the village or town they were at had a place to eat. Luckily enough this was a planet that took her money. Gold coins all around!

Nasuko snatched a chair, which ever one was in reach, and sat herself down. When Allen began talking to her there was saddness in her heart, because she would have to look away from the food and at Allen. But the face Allen had was comforting enough to surpass even food.

Leaning forward on her chair she smiled. "Yes I am. The beach. As long as those boob-flaunting girlie girls aren't there..." The last sentance was a grumble under her breath of course. Everyone knew Nasuko hated girls that used their body like a piece of bait to attract fish. Or the 'OMG' kind....Oi.

Allen was still busy slaving away at the kitchen, he didn't even hear Nasuko at first until he turned around to greet her. "Good morning. And yeah this is for the both of us. You've been a really good friend since everything so this is the least I can do. Go ahead and have a seat."

'You're not going to say that she looks delicious instead?' A mental voice said, undoubtedly his evil half of his conscious.

'Shut the hell up.' Was the simple response from his more sane half.

'..I think it's a bad sign when I'm talking to myself.'

Allen mentally sighed and hoped he wasn't going crazy. He instead focused on what needed to be done, setting himself and Nasuko a plate before sitting down himself. "Pretty excited about today?"
