A/N: Ooooomg it's so short. Forgive me. Please. And I don't hate Kuchinawa...
Ok maybe I do, but that's not why I'm being mean to him. He did a lot of bad things, remember?
Sheena's mouth was completely dry. She tried to swallow, but it was like her mouth had turned into sandpaper. "You..." she rasped, one hand to her mouth as she pointed at Kuchinawa. "You..!"
Kuchinawa silently scooted to the edge of the bed and slipped into his pants. He watched her silently as she tried to find the words to even begin to describe what she was feeling right now. His eyes scanned the room quickly, spotting his belt and daggers and his pouch full of ninja scrolls and weapons... a few feet to the right of Sheena. His fingers curled up around the blanket, clutching the fabric tightly.
"...This didn't go as planned..." he muttered, finally looking away from the female ninja. Unfortunately for him, she heard this comment and it was just what she needed to get her brain jump started.
"Planned?" she demanded, visibly shaking. "Planned! You planned this? You got me.. got me drunk somehow and then you raped me!" She took a step forward, one fist held up, clenched tightly. "You're sick!"
"I planned to get myself drunk," Kuchinawa snarled. If he had been a dog, the fur on the back of his neck would have been bristling. Without warning, he made a dash for her, dragging the blanket off of the bed and tossing it onto Sheena, hoping to distract her long enough for him to get his daggers. Rolling along the floor, he came up with a dagger in hand only to find himself face-to-face with an enraged Sheena. Forgoeing weapons, she delivered a roundhouse punch that broke his nose, causing the blood to spurt out over Sheena's clothes.
Goddess curse him. Didn't he know how hard it was to get bloodstains out? Not giving him room to breathe, she let her training take over and mindlessly darted in, punching, kicking, using her memory of the human body's pressure points to aid her. "This is low, even for you!" she said, in a voice so low it could have been a growl. Grabbing his long hair, she tugged him forward and slammed him into the ground face-first, quickly taking her pink obi off and binding his hands so tightly she wasn't even sure the blood would circulate properly. "What did you hope to accomplish by-" she started, but stopped when she heard him say something.
"What was that?" she asked, knowing she couldn't have heard right.
"...You were the one who started it," said his voice, muffled from the carpet. "So let me go this instant, you crazy-"
He didn't get to finish, because she bodily lifted him and tossed him to the side, her eyes smoldering. She pointed straight at him as he staggered to his feet. "You're a liar!" she said in a quavery voice. She dropped her hand to hug herself, shuddering. "I would never- Just the thought of being with you makes me sick, Kuchinawa!" Spotting her cards on a desk pushed up agains the wall, she snatched them up and brandished them, threateningly. "So I want you to tell me what happened, truthfully! Start from the very beginning, and don't even try those disgusting lies 'cause every time you do, I'll-"
"Goddess, you are insane!" Kuchinawa said, shaking his hands once they were free. No matter how tight a knot Sheena managed to make, Kuchinawa was still a ninja and quite capable of getting out of binds. "You want to know the truth? I was drunk off of the drinks I had stolen from that shack on the beach- yes, I stole them, don't be shocked- and I found you, already drunk, knee-deep in the water."
"And you just decided to take advantage of me, huh?" Sheena spat, feeling her eyes begin to burn. But no, not now, she wouldn't cry in front of him. Goddess, she felt sick again. The meditation had only worked so much, and her hangover was beginning to rear its ugly head again. She wanted to be violently, terribly sick. "Just. Like. That?"
"No." Kuchinawa flexed his hands, as if tightening his grip on imaginary daggers. "I decided to kill you. Unfortunately, you were stronger than when we last fought... and I was drunk." For the first time, an expression crossed his face that wasn't resentment or a superior look that spoke extreme confidance. He looked confused, hesitantly placing his fingertips to his temple. "And..." The look was gone as soon as it arrived though, and he was glaring daggers at her once again. "All I know is this: You kissed me. You should be grateful I didn't take advantage of your weakness then to just kill you and end thi-"
There was a sharp crack! and Kuchinawa crumpled to the floor, Zelos standing over him with his temple throbbing visibily. While all the drama had been going on, Zelos had walked in, and since Kuchinawa had his back to the door.. He had hit the ninja with the pommel of his sword, and only now unsheathed it. "Threaten my hunny with violence, eh bastard?" he growled, lifting the sword up.
"Wait!" Sheena leapt over and held his sword hand back. "...wait. Bastard he might be, but he's still a Shinobi of Mizuho." She looked down at him, her face twisting with conflictiin emotions. "I can't kill him in cold blood like this."
"I can!"
"Zelos!"
"...Fine." Zelos made a face and sheathed the sword. "But what are we gonna do with him in the meantime?" He cocked an eyebrow at Sheena. "And why was he half-naked, and the bed's all rumpled?"
"...Don't ask."
"Oooookaaaaay..."
Lilikiofish: Umm no I'm afraid I don't know who you're talking about. I was trying to hint at it being Kuchinawa the whole time... who did you think I was hinting at? Glad I managed to make you love the first chappie though! And thanks for the fave and the alerts! You get a hug.
Fan Fan Girl: Yay! First reviewer! You deserve a hug too.
