A/N: Masochism?! ZOUNDS!!! Sorry it's short, tho...I'll try to make a better one, with more focus on romance, less on humor...

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!


Iku Nagae had only been in a relationship with Tenshi Hinanai for about a month, and yet every day seemed to start off with the same strange routine.

"...Hit me." Tenshi whispered quietly, rays of sunlight peeking in through the blinds of the musty bedroom. Rubbing her eyes and letting out a yawn, Iku sat up in bed, and gave her lover an incredulous look. Neither girl currently had a single article of clothing on their beings. A small bird began chirping outside. Tenshi just sat there, waiting patiently for a response.

"...What?" Iku finally spoke. She was never much of a morning person.

"I asked for you to hit me..." Tenshi repeated in a more thorough explanation of her words. She leaned a bit closer, and licked her lips lustfully. She planted a tiny kiss on Iku's upper lip, but the girl wasn't fazed by it in the slightest.

"...What?" Iku still didn't get it.

"I need a nice, powerful slap right to the face...right here..." Tenshi replied calmly, pointing at her own left cheek.

Iku scratched her head. "Do I...do I really have to?" she asked in between another heavy yawn.

"Yes!" Tenshi cried, a bit too loudly for Iku's tastes, "I can't fully wake up without a well-placed smack!!! It's like my alternative to caffeine!!!"

"Oh...I guess that's why when we have sex you always want me to be the dominatrix..."

"YES, EXACTLY!!! NOW...GIVE ME THE BITCH-SLAP THAT I SO TERRIBLY DESERVE!!!"

"Fine..." Iku raised her hand, and slapped Tenshi across the face as hard as she could. The celestial girl staggered for a moment, before collapsing onto her side. A large red hand-print was now evident on her cheek, and Iku waited for some sort of response.

"...Tenshi-chan...?"

Tenshi remained silent. She didn't move a single inch.

"Tenshi-chan...?"

Still nothing. It seemed that the slap had knocked the poor girl unconscious.

Shrugging her shoulders, Iku curled herself up underneath the covers and drifted off back to sleep once again...
