Paradise of Infinity

"Nik~ Tch, tch~ Have I taught you nothing? Two more complaints already? You let your customers do anything they want!"

"Time to enter the abyss~!"

---

Nik's eyes snapped open but he remained motionless not out of calmness but he was frightened straight. He didn't wake up on Mitsuko's bed like yesterday but the bedding he had laid down in the living room. Feeling his lips dried and throat parched, his gaze darkened for a moment before he shook his head and closed his eyes once again. He didn't even want to think about it.

He hadn't gotten a chance to apologize to Kurumi yesterday and now she had already left for her school so it would seem that he wouldn't get any chance at all. After all, while he is leaving this location for only a week, the actual passage of time will clearly be different. This much he understood.

He turned around and stayed under the sheets for a few minutes, recollecting his thoughts. It was only when Mitsuko called out for him from the kitchen did he sit up and rubbed his eyes.

He began his day like usual. Folding the bedding and placing it within its rightful location before washing his face, Nik entered the kitchen as Mitsuko glanced at him and smiled, fully clothed at that, "You're going to be late," she chimed. For a moment forgetting about his condition.

But anyway, he wasn't going to Yuuko's bookstore today so it didn't matter when he would have woken up.

Unlike usual, she hadn't prepared soup but bread for breakfast. Although people here drank a serving of soup commonly, it wasn't unheard of skipping the staple diet once in a while. It was a well-cooked sandwich with the spread of butter on the top portion of the bread still glistening with freshly cut vegetables in between the two faces of bread.

Silently sitting down, he ate with a full bite and scowled a little, not liking the taste of the tomatoes within.

"I was worried a little," Mitsuko smiled and quickly began typing into her cellphone as she brought her plate over, too, while mumbling out loud what she wrote, "Kurumi and Sayoko are really picky eaters. But it's nice seeing someone not raising a ruckus for a few odd slices of cucumber."

'Oh, that's the fresh hell I just munched into,' Nik realized silently, not particularly fond of such a 'fresh' sandwich either.

Mitsuko then showed him the translated texts as he nodded. He could, and would still eat it. It was completely unknown what he would be facing in a few hours so it's only logical to eat fresh and nutritious food right from the get-go and pray for the best.

Fully knowing about his appetite, Mitsuko had made a considerably greater number of sandwiches for Nik while she was full with only two of them. But seeing him eat away so heartily, Mitsuko finally couldn't help but recall yesterday's events and question herself for a moment.

'Is it possible that he got irritated because of the dinner being disrupted?'

Then more she thought on this matter, the greater her confidence grew. It was all well while she was underneath him, ready to gobble him up, but he only took sudden action when Kurumi forcefully tested his attention. But whatever it could have been, Mitsuko grew silent once Nik ate and raised an issue by translating a simple sentence into her cellphone.

"You're leaving for a week? What happened?" She inquired, her reaction slightly greater than Yuuko.

Nik explained in the exact same way as he did with Yuuko. And Mitsuko's response was similar, too. If it's dangerous, then, of course, logic dictated going to the authorities but she was much easier to persuade, too.

"Can I know where you're going? That way I will be to point Genta-san in the right direction."

She inquired.

Nik shook his head slightly and Mitsuko continued, as if a little confused.

"If you remembered something... and still plan to return within seven days, and considering you're not lying... Nik, you don't have a family, do you?" Mitsuko had a complicated look on her face as she showed the screen to Nik and he shook his head once again.

Mitsuko's worry also happened to be slightly greater than Yuuko's. For Yuuko, Nik was only a temporary employee that she now planned to have full-time if possible but for Mitsuko, well, this meant much more for various reasons but none came even close to the aspect of attachment towards someone. This was simply a genuine worry for an individual she had helped for almost a week now and while these motives were derived from selfish reasons, that didn't stop her from trying and be caring enough. After all, she's a mother, too... a strange one, but still.

"Then what do you plan to do after you return? Now that you have remembered something..."

Nik blinked. His first order of business would be, of course, finding a place to stay and live and that's what he replied with. There was nothing strange about it and Mitsuko nodded in agreement. contemporary romance

"When will you be leaving exactly?"

"Around 4 in the evening," Nik replied and saw Mitsuko smiling, "Enough time for you to have a bag readied for yourself, right? I'll cook you some food and pack some snacks for you."

Hesitating for a moment, Nik nodded eventually, more than willing to accept the kind gesture since he already owed the woman a great deal.

Just like the day when the duo left to purchase some clothes, Nik helped around with the chores wholeheartedly.

But...

"Oh~ I seemed to have dropped my shirt," Mitsuko called out in surprise but what surprised Nik more was that she was actually wearing a bra. But then again, she should while working around or it might only exhaust her later on.

Seeing the dark green bra holding her assets, her skin slightly damp, especially around her cleavage that Mitsuko revealed more than enough by bending down in front of him while picking her top, Nik could only look. Picking her top up, Mitsuko smiled as she walked towards the kitchen and slipped out of her tights, too, revealing a similarly designed pair of green panties as she swayed her butt for a moment.

"Come here," she turned around and beckoned Nik with the curve of her index.

As he got closer, she abruptly caught his hand and pulled him closer while leaning against the counter.

"Does this excite you even a little?" She whispered while blowing a hotly against his neck. Her half-naked body pulling him closer as Nik once again recalled the night before yesterday and just how great Mitsuko felt.

Seeing his reaction, a slightly pleased expression touched her face and she typed into her cellphone.

"When you return in a week, let's have some fun once again, yes?"

This was a trap, of course. And Nik now realized it as Mitsuko pushed him back with a wink. She was truly planning more and more fun nights for the future and Nik felt like learning a little from Mitsuko.

After all, the woman had multiple children, just like Esta. She was equally depraved and lustful, he reasoned. But when it came to Mitsuko, probably because of her upbringing and the difference in culture, she wasn't the kind to enjoy permanently 'breaking' someone. Kind and caring and Nik was sure that if he had a lizard on his head at the moment, that poor guy dying wouldn't even be considered at all.

And this behavior was naturally out of the norm and even with his actions yesterday, Mitsuko hadn't changed her approach towards him at all. Maybe all of this is a lie and she's just saying all this because of some sexual formality but Nik liked to believe that she meant it.

Having fun, that is.

"Oh, and I just wish you somehow remember speaking japanese, too, because if you are punctual, maybe I'll wrap someone else for fun, too~!" Mitsuko chortled while turning back towards the counter and beginning to prepare some meals.

And seeing Nik so easily sit behind her and observing her cooking in her underwear, and now an apron on, Mitsuko grew slightly jubilant, performing a little 'extra' as she would move around with a soft hum of her lips in a captivating tune. And with how collected Nik looked while enjoying the show, Mitsuko grew a little more confident in her theory that last night's incident occurred not because of her own actions but her daughter's impatience. Recalling the heavy scent and firm press of the delightful shaft against the fabric, Mitsuko became even more sure of her conjecture.

Hours passed quickly and Mitsuko changed into various clothes to move around as she helped Nik pack some stuff up.

With how little she had to pack for him, it just became an excuse to fully present herself and give Nik a reason to return and even he felt quite convinced with such a 'persuasion' but in the end, all of it depended on his 'landing.'

If lucky, he will surely return.

But what made Mitsuko feel strange was the fact that as he left through the door, Nik specifically asked her to quickly grab a bottle of soap from the bathroom and replied that he will meet her outside.

This she did.

But the moment she entered the bathroom, the red mark around his left arm flashed and all his clothes and the small bag on his back disappeared and the screen that remained in front of him with a perilous countdown changed.

With that, Nik disappeared in an instant as if he wasn't present in this world in the first place.

*Click*

Mitsuko heard a click of the door as she walked out of the bathroom.

"Why would he want a—"

"Mom?"

Mitsuko stood still as she looked towards the door with a surprised expression, seeing Kurumi taking off her shoes.

"What are you doing in your underwear?" She inquired curiously. Given that there were no unfamiliar sets of shoes, Kurumi felt that there was no one else around and it was strange for her mother to get down to 'it' alone. She always preferred a partner.

"I'm... nothing? Anyway, Nik is leaving for some work so you should try and talk to him. He's just outside."

"What? There's no one outside. I stopped by Megumi's Mom but she had given Nik a short leave to give him some time."

"There's nobody outside at all? Not even by the corner of the block?"

"No?"

"Strange... I did not even hear the door open before you came in..."

Mitsuko frowned, feeling a little weird. Quickly picking her overcoat from the coat rack by the entrance, she covered herself and walked out around the entire block but failed to find even a single hint of Nik.

'Seven days... huh, now why do I doubt that someone who ran so quickly will even return?'

She grew a little depressed. All this time, she felt that they were getting along really well. But still giving Nik a chance internally, she figured that she would wait for seven days or she would truly have been used by a just a lovely youth to have her act as a sugar mom for him.

***

A/N: No point in dragging in this world since the avatar is going to be the major one and I already have developed most of Nik's issues to take care of in the next world.

Now, this avatar world is going to be an au that I felt quite intriguing due to a cbr video YouTube. What if Ursula somehow took both Zuko and Azula when she left?

This will be the main premise.

And the other change will be that all the characters are 18 and above and will be the same way. For instance, Princess Yue in this one may already be married and still be alived.

So consider this an Au where aang 'wakes' up a few years later instead? If I take this premise to keep in line with the growth of the age of the characters then what happened in Ba Sing Se and what happened to the hundred years war in the general?

Now, I admit that I'm a little iffy in changing the entire premise of the show because of the difference in age but... I just feel like not following the canon, you know. with the characters already above 18, they can use language inappropriate to a Nickelodeon show, especially toph... well, let's go.

First Volume: The Saga of Women Bender, begins.
