A/N: There it is, the next chapter. More hilarity. More Arthas. More Kaya.

Warnings: Sillyness and things you can't unsee. Be sure to have Brain Bleach™ handy.

Kaya didn't have many things which belonged to her. It was basically the armor she wore, her runeblade and some kind of acolyt's robe. When she had picked up the robe, she looked around for signs of other people, then lifted her mattress and took out what looked like a bunch of rags in humanoid form and stuffed it into the robe. That should be it. The woman walked out of the dorm, giving it a last glance before she walked to the center of the whole complex. Besides her, there were only two people standing there. One of them was a surprisingly short-bearded dwarf, the other one was a bulky female orc. Without saying a word, Kaya placed herself next to them. Icecrown Citadel. I must have impressed him. A smile, somewhere between happy and mischievous, spread on her face. Can't wait to se-

"At least you are on time."

Kaya flinched as Arthas had appeared right behind her. The weird thing about this was, that she didn't really notice him. The constant whispering in her head had become much more ambiguous since she he had chosen her for training in Icecrown Citadel. Somehow she found that sad. She really liked that voice in her head. But if it meant that she was ascending in the ranks of the Scourge, then it wasn't that bad either. Standing higher meant standing closer to Arthas. The very Arthas who now created a death gate. Slowly, the Orc stepped trough it, followed by the dwarf and eventually Kaya. Right after her, the king followed. Keep cool. The woman tensed, trying to ignore his presence behind her, but failing utterly. The thought of him being right behind her gave her goose bumps up to the feeling of having her hair stand up a bit. On the other hand, it did feel pleasant to ha-

"The geists will show you your new quarters."

Kaya shook herself a bit in order to get that train of thoughts out of her mind before it derailed completely. Another mental slap later, she looked down to the geist creeping in front of her, eyeing her with, well, its eye and gesticulating her to follow. Meanwhile, Arthas was nowhere in sight anymore, so Kaya relaxed again and followed the minion.

Wow. She really had her own quarters, in the means of a whole room for herself. It wasn't huge, but there were a bed, a table with a chair and a wardrobe in it. It was more than she could remember having. Given that this was restricted to the dorm she had just left today, there wasn't that much to compare. This. This is going to be so awesome. The woman put on a smile that almost split her face before putting down her belongings on the bed.

Kaya stood in her room, staring holes into the wall. Suddenly, someone pulled her close to himself and held her there. Immediately, she blushed, not even asking who that person was.

"I can feel you like that, Kaya."

"A-Arthas..." She closed her eyes and focussed on his touch. "Take m-"

Kaya jerked up from her bed, panting heavily. Crap. Why do I always have to wake up? But now she was awake, it was time for actually getting out of bed. She threw herself out of it and into her undergarments. Still sleepy, she started to comb her now blood red and more than shoulder-long hair. When it wasn't the mess her tossing and turning had made it into. Normally she wouldn't have cared if she looked like a piece of bloody fuzz, since her helmet covered it up just fine. I just suck at this. She threw the bone comb onto the bed and reached for the acolyte robe which was draped over her chair. Quickly, she slipped into it, shook her hair out of her face again and pulled the hood into her face. Regarding the time she had wasted trying to subdue her hair, she rushed out of the door and ran along the corridor.

Normally, Kaya would have been on her way to the training areas, but today it was different. Arthas had decided on testing the strategy skills her educater had so praised. So she was on her way to that test. She knew exactly what she was looking for. It was one specific door... Fuck! ...she had just passed in her hurry. Kaya turned around, tried to brake and turn around at the same time, which lead to her unceremoniously falling prone onto the floor and lying there for a few moments. After she regained her composure, she crawled up again and quickly looked around. "Phew..." Glad no one saw me. That was embarassing. Brushing some ice crystals from her robe, she entered the door, only to be met by Arthas, standing behind a huge table with a map of Northrend on it.

"You know, there is a reason why it's called Icecrown Citadel."

Even tough he kept a totally straight face, she felt like he had laughed at her for th- Wait what woah? Kaya blinked a few times before she noticed that Arthas didn't wear his armor. Or his helmet, at this occasion. Her jaw dropped a bit as she just stood in the door, staring. Get a fucking hold of yourself Kaya! Blink blink. It's just Arthas! In... civilian clothes... without that helmet... wow... WARGH! I have to say something! "It won't happen again, my king." That was silly.

"I hope so. Now get over here."

Reluctantly, Kaya started to move, one step after another. "Yes, my king."

"It's Arthas for you."

What. Slowly she turned her head to him, staring.

"You heard me."

Kaya nodded hectically. "Y-yes, my k- Arthas, I mean." Aaawkward.

"Now get over here."

He pointed next to himself, his facial expression shifted from slightly angry to indifferent again. You can do this, Kaya. Breathe in. Breathe out. Why do I need to breathe anyw-

"Kaya Bloodgrasp! How, just how by Kel'thuzad's cat did you survive your training until now?"

That was definitely more than slightly angry. The echo of his voice made Kaya shiver and for a moment, all of her nervousness was pushed aside. "I will not disappoint you Arthas." With these confident words, she stepped over to his side, at the south end of the map. As Kaya finally stood next to him, she immediately slid away a few centimeters. Aww crap, there it goes again. Involuntarily, she started biting her lower lip and sipped some of her own blood. Snow. Ice. Abominations. My fight instructor in a speedo...

What had felt like an eternity later, Kaya stepped out of the room again. Immediately, she leant against the wall and sighed. She felt at her cheeks, finding them warm, so she was most likely blushing. And had been all the time. Good thing he isn't that much into my thoughts any more... Ghouls. Abominations. Kel'thuzad in a speedo. She pulled a face, but sighed as she felt much calmer now. Sure it was exciting to be brooding over that map with Arthas all the time, especially since he was standing right next to her all the time. Forsaken. Paladins. Arthas in a speedo. Gulp. Wrong thought. Kaya pushed herself off the wall, ran right back to her room, slammed the door closed and barred it with a chair.
