Star Ocean Till the end of time
Not so Innocent

The hot water of the shower that fell upon the body of its occupant, Mirage Koas, felt good.

She was currently on the Canis shuttle to Klaus, her home planet to visit her father, it was going to be a long trip and even at Gravitic Warp it was going to take them just over a week to get there maybe even longer because the shuttle was going to have to make twelve different stops along the way

'Considered the company I've got all to myself it might not be such a bad thing.' She thought to herself as a wicked grin spread across her lips. Her hands traced her body and a slight grimace as her hand passed over her ribs and the large bruises that marked her stomach, she'd picked them up a few weeks ago in the final battle with Luther and considering how powerful he had been she knew she was lucky to walk away with only toughs bruises and a couple of bruised ribs, ah well she'd just have to get someone to rub ointment on to them and she had just the person in mind to do it.

After turning the water off she stepped out of the shower wrapped a towel around herself and exited the bathroom but was disappointed to find the sleeping area of the cabin was empty

'Oh well, I'm sure he'll be back soon.' She mussed as she began drying herself off as she awaited the return of her roommate, friend and now lover Fayt Leingod.

She hadn't on planned it but now they were together she wasn't prepared to let him go, she couldn't help but remember how their relationship began. Mirage had just entered the cabin and found Fayt in his seat wearing the clothes he'd worn when she first met him staring out the window at the vast expanse of space

"What's wrong, Fayt? What are you thinking about? She asked Fayt who'd been in his own little world and didn't notice her walk in so he got quiet a shock when she spoke to him

"Mirage! Oh, sorry, I meant..." he stammered

"Don't worry, Mirage is just fine. No need to be so formal." Mirage replied tying to suppress a giggle

"Uh, sorry. It's just hard to get used to..."Fayt said slightly embarrassed at the idea of calling the blond woman by her first name in her presence,

"Don't worry about it. You'll get used to it eventually." Mirage said as she sat next to him

"Anyway... What were you thinking about? Come on, please tell me." Fayt shrugged his shoulders and went back to staring out the window

"It's not that big a deal. It's just, well, my mind was wandering. I was thinking about all sorts of things." There was a long pause Mirage then used her hand to turn Fayts head so he was facing her before covering his hand with her own

"Fayt. Do you really think you can sum up all of the things you lost from your previous life, the new life you're about to start, and the fear of leaving for Klaus, a planet totally unknown to you, as 'not that big a deal'? It is a big deal isn't it? Can't you at least tell me what you're really feeling, and what you're hiding deep down in your heart? We'll never get close if we just show each other our strengths! I don't mind if you show me your weaknesses either, every once in a while." Fayt regarded her for a few moments before saying in an unsure voice,

"You want to know what's on my mind?"

"Yes Fayt, we've been together for a while now. If there's something bothering you I'd like to try and help." Mirage replied

"OK." Fayt said before he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers,

at first Mirage's eyes widened in surprise but then she surrendered and embraced him as she returned the sign of affection.

The two of them transferred themselves from their seats to the bed she was laying on top of him before physically ripped off his shirt and running her hands over the now well-developed muscles of his chest whilst he managed to slightly undo the zipper on her shirt and run his hands along her back taking note of the fact she wasn't wearing a bra.

"F…Fayt, why are you doing this?" she asked him

"Isn't it obvious, because I love you Mirage. I have since the moment I first saw you. I've waited for this for so long and I can't wait any more." He replied in a breathless whisper before kissing her again. He removed her jacket and threw it roughly aimed at the chairs they'd just been sitting on whilst taking in the sight of her bare flesh taking a moment to run his hands over her smooth skin before rolling over so he was now on top of her. He then began working his way down her body pausing a minute to lovingly caress her fairly large breasts carefully suckling on her right nipple whilst toying lightly with the left which caused Mirage to moan in pleasure, resuming his journey he ran his tongue over her stomach and eased off her shorts before removing her panties and massaged her thighs.

What he did next however was unbelievable and done with such expertise the only way Mirage knew it wasn't a dream was the waves of pleasure that passed threw her, the way he used his fingers, his mouth and tongue to caress her most sensitive area Mirage had to fight hard not to scream out loud which didn't last very long as her juices soon began to flow which he tried to catch mainly in his mouth, at any other time her brain would have told her that this was wrong but the primal urges of her body had taken over drowning out all rational thought she didn't want this to stop enjoying the waves of pleasure that passed through her body like volts of electricity.

They then spent the next few hours being 'intermit' at first Mirage was doubtful that the Earthling genetically altered all or not, would be able to keep up but soon all the all thoughts of that were drowned out by the primal ecstasy that resonated through out her body and she relished every second of it. Not even the men on Klaus, who were meant to have greater stamina then humans had made love to her with such fire and passion.

A warm feeling resonated from Mirage especially between her legs (making her all the more impatient for Fayt to return) as she remembered that incident but it also left her slightly confused she prided herself on being able to read people and when she first saw Fayt she got the impression he was slightly naïve so when he did…toughs things and did them so expertly it left her wondering where he'd had learned to do it?

Sophia, no she wasn't the type. Maria, she barley made time to sleep let alone sleep with someone else which left a certain red head as the only suspect but Mirage somehow doubted or at least hoped Nel hadn't had any kind of physical relationship with him.

'Will we listen to yourself. Who cares if he and Nel had a fling he loves you, he told you so if he loved Nel he would have gone off with her instead of you.' But yet she couldn't believe how wrong she'd been about him how she failed to see through the act when she first met him.

Cliff and Fayt had transported from the surface of Vanguard VI and entered the bridge

"Welcome back." She'd said as she turned in her chair to great the two

"Sorry to keep ya waitin'." Cliff said flashing her a grin, he then indicated to the blue haired youth behind him

"This is my navigator and partner in crime. I leave the day-to-day operation of the ship to her. Mirage, this is our target." Looking at Fayt she could tell he was slightly nervous

"Yes. I knew right away. Nice to meet you, Fayt. I'm Mirage Koas." She said trying to ease his fears

"N-nice to meet you, too." he replied she then turned back to the controls but she could feel his eyes upon her somehow she felt flattered by this

'She's beautiful...' Fayt thought to himself trying hard as he could not to let any inappropriate thoughts about her enter his head,

Cliff looked over from his seat and caught Fayt staring at his co-pilot

"Fayt, you okay? Oh, and listen, don't fall for her-She may look pretty but she's a Klausian. Any funny ideas, and yer liable to meet a swift, yet painful, death." He advised,

"Hey, w-wait a sec! Who said I was falling for anyone?" Fayt protested,

"Relax! I was just warning ya." Cliff replied.

Mirage smiled at the memory 'Poor Cliff, of only he could see us now.'

The door opened and Fayt walked in, he was wearing her jacket but that was to be expected as she had destroyed his shirt and not knowing how to sew it seemed only fair plus she also thought he looked kind of cute in it. Fayt walked over and kissed her

"Hey."

"Hey." She replied

"Need me to rub ointment on your bruises?" he asked

"Would you?" she replied he smiled deviously at her as he sat down on the bed digging in the pocket of the jacket he was wearing before taking hold of the towel and pulling it away revealing Mirages naked form underneath.

He squeezed some of the pale purple cream from a tube into his hands and began massaging it gently onto the dark patches on her skin as she stood there in front of him grinning as he heard her moan quietly

'I wonder if things had been different maybe if I'd have spent more time alone with him would like when we crashed on Elicoore if Fayt had stayed with me or maybe I'd gone in Cliff's place you'd he have confessed earlier and we would have had more enjoyable evening then just the ones on this shuttle!' "Maybe it would be easier if I sat down." Mirage offered

"Maybe your right." He replied,

Mirage then sat down…in his lap took hold of his face and kissed him passionately and removed the jacket he was wearing before running her fingers threw his hair as she felt his strong arms wrap around her waist feeling all the more aroused as she felt something hard growing beneath her separated by only the fabric of his shorts

'No, he certainly not as innocent as he seems. But then again neither am I.'

AN- As you can tell I've some slight changes, its still however a one shot so all you guys who hate it and me can take some solace in that. Well there you go I know it was pretty well graphic but you were warned so don't send me death threats...more death threats. As you can tell it is based off the Fayt & Mirage ending Anyway Mirage & Fayt why, well the pairing is virtually non existent only hinted at in The Power Within by Belgarion 11 and What an mistake can lead up to by Nasuren (what ever happened to toughs guys?) Oh well just me trying to be different I guess. Next chapter of Reunion is receiving its final touch up and I'm news I've working on another Star Ocean one shot which is called Return to me so look out for them. Later.
