A/N: A product of summer, sheer boredom, insomnia, and a new (flashy) computer. Marimite intrigued me enough to force me out of hiding under my rock. Reviews, if you may be so kind 

Youko x Sei

Shredder

Behind the settlement papers, Youko's right eye twitched at the noise.

"Sei?"

The blond didn't even bother looking up. She was too immersed in the new "toy" she found in Youko's office while waiting for her to finish up with her paperwork. The loud vibrating noise continued to drown Youko's voice.

"Sei?"

Youko called out again from behind her desk, ever so patient. When she got the same reply, she cleared her throat.

Sei looked up, as if realizing for the first time that she was not alone in the room. Youko had to stifle a laugh.

"You do know," Youko mused, "that we have one of those at home, right?"

Sei's face was blank for a second before she broke into her trademark grin.

"EHH?! We have a shredder at home?!"
