I really love how this turned out as I've never drawn the reflection off the moon on the water. I'm sure there are those who could say what to make it better but for a first try, I like how it turned out.

Kitsune Love
Exploring
The next night then came in and the guests were ready to have Nicholas show them around. This was due to being more nocturnal, most of the group were active by night. Still there were things to do during this time of the day. “So, where to first?” Sakura asked the male Kitsune with a smile.
He struggled for a moment as the memory of how she looked in the light of her room came back to him. The male cleared his throat. “I thought it was just best to look at the stuff in the main area since you’ll be living here.”
“Then what did the rulers here want us back for?” Drac asked. “I hate surprises.”
“I don’t think it’ll be anything like that. Maybe to discuss what to do next.”
“Oh, okay,” the male vampire replied.
Nicholas then took them out of the shrine and down the stairs into the streets of Loft Wing. The paper lanterns were lit and added to the mood. Other kistunes and guests from monsters to humans were also out and about. It wasn’t long before the group were in the main area with cherry blossom trees in full bloom, the lights reflecting off the petal of the flowers here. There was also a statue of a kitsune like warrior with a dragon curled around the lower base of this. Music from somewhere was playing on flutes and other instruments found from Japan. There were many shops here, some serving food, others selling stuff. “I can’t decide where to start,” Sakura said to Nicholas.
“The casino?” Frankie joked, but one look from his wife made him shut up.
“That can be done latter,” Nicholas commented. “If you’re hungry, I suggest there.” He pointed to a large restaurant. A delicious smell was coming from it. “They’ve got good monster and human food. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
The group headed inside. The place had relaxing lighting and plants to go with the wall art in here showing the element of wind and kitsunes here either riding it or fighting. The bamboo was in pots and the light came from those on the ceiling this time. The group was seated at a couple large tables next to each other as there were so many of them. Chopsticks and regular silverware was laid out. “How are we going to pay for this?” Mavis asked, now realizing they had no money.
“This,” Nicholas replied with a smirk and whipped out a card from somewhere on his body that suddenly became enough for each adult. They each took one and saw it was dark green with bamboo and vine designs on it with a kitsune face. “The rulers here were kind enough to have these made for you. Show these and the funds on them will be used to pay for things. Be careful not to lose them.”
“Coooooll,” Johnny stated and carefully pocketed his.
The waiter then came up with menus and people got what they wanted. Nicholas smiled when the bottle for his drink came out and a small bowl.
“Sake?” he asked Sakura. “It’s chilled and sweet.”
“I like that kind, thanks,” she replied. He poured her a small cup full.
“Shall we have a toast?” the male kitsune then asked everyone.
“Sounds fun,” Murray replied. “For luck!” They all did so and drank. The food was good and when it finished, after paying for the meal, the group stepped out into the streets again.
It was a fun time along with checking out the shops. Next on the list was some of the more important buildings like the art and museum, schools, court house, and doctor’s. There were other places for fire and the police along with a few other facilities. However, Nicholas did take the time to show Sakura and the others the house he grew up in. They didn’t go in, but the building had a slanting roof like Japanese homes did with a sliding wooden door. But there was one place that the male kitsune took only Sakura during the last day of exploring as the rest in the group figured they could find their way around this place and do their own thing. The casino wasn’t looked at yet still. “Where are we going?” the female Kitsune asked with a giggle as Nicholas was being secretive.
“You’ll see,” he replied.
They then rounded a corner and Sakura gasped at the sight. It was cherry blossom trees in full bloom surrounding a pound. Some of the petals had fallen into the water. The moon was full as well. There were comfortable places to sit at the trees and on the sides of the pound. “This was my favorite place to go to have peace and quiet and when I needed to be by myself,” the male kitsune said.
“I can see why… It’s so beautiful and peaceful…”
Nicholas then grinned and gathered up some power of wind. Using this he jumped and landed on the surface of the water, using the wind to hold himself up. The male grinned at her and began to skate and glade on the surface of the liquid. Sakura rolled her eyes with amusement. “Show off,” she stated.
“Well if you can do any better show me,” he replied.
The female kitsune merely stepped out and began to walk across the surface. “How’s this?”
“How are you doing that?” Nicholas asked. Both of them had never talked about powers Sakura might have.
“It’s my power. Besides illusions, my main one is that of the river. It’s life giving power. I can create water and heal others with this power. As a bonus I can walk on it.” Nicholas could do illusions to but on a much powerful scale. The female joined the male where he was in the middle of the pound.
“Well… at least if one of us get injured, you can help,” he said.
Sakura smiled with her face up and eyes closed. Her arms came out and some cherry blossom petals fell around her. Nicholas’s eyes went wide with shock and he bushed. In this moment Sakura looked even more beautiful in the light of the moon. His eyes flashed as the zing happened for him. While the guy didn’t know it was called that, but now he realized what was in his heart. The male turned on the spot quickly and that caused Sakura to come out of her moment. “You okay?” she asked.
“Oh!” he quickly replied, blushing red. “Yeah.” Physically Nicholas was so it wasn’t exactly a lie. “We should probably get going back.”
“Sure.” The two made it back but Nicholas was just doing his best to act normal. At least when the group went before the rulers again, that would distract him enough from this. But in his room thoughts about Sakura were all he could think about.
“Damn,” the male whispered. “I’m… in love with her…” Nicholas realized that as a single Kitsune who was still young like Sakura with common interests, they could be great as a couple. But that was only if she felt the same way. For now, it was best to keep these feelings in check and get hints if she felt the same way as him.

And the zing's happened for me. Was bound to sooner or latter.
