A/N I have no excuse for my lateness. This should be posted before the summer holidays, but...
Disclaimer: I don't own Clamp characters; I just like torturing them- especially Kurogane, because he's so cute when angry.
The same day, evening, dining room.
"… then Mokona said 'But Yuui, they are peeping at us!' And everyone went red like tomato!" the white manjuu continued with delight. "But he just said that Mokona is the cutest thing ever, and it was soo sweet of Yuui that I just had to give him a hug!"
"Ah Moko-chan, it's only true! And everyone who thinks otherwise will have to defeat me, as I will fight for the honour of my beautiful friend!" the mage said, bowing in elaborate manner.
Kurogane rolled his eyes looking warily at Souma, Kendappa and Tomoyo, who, to his immense annoyance, seemed to truly enjoy the story. Thankfully, none of them started asking difficult questions like 'did you appreciate the view?' or 'when our dear little Kurogane turned into shameless stalker?' although everything had yet to come.
"Oi, stop treating it like it was a damsel in distress," he said which caused sudden 'awww' from others. "What?"
"Yuui-chi, Kuro-meanie insulted Mokona. He called her it!" the creature cried and jumped into mage's arms (and snuggled obnoxiously as to mock him, damn manjuu). "He is such a brute," she said and made a face at the ninja.
"Hush, hush sweetie, he didn't mean it. Kuro-pon knows that Mokona is beautiful charming and delicate (icy glare – mmm, was Yuui bitchy again?) lady."
"Yeah, when pigs will fly."
"Kurogane," Tomoyo said with mock anger, "I think it's enough."
"I must agree with Tomoyo-hime, Kuro-sama; you can't say such things about Mokona. To prevent you from further insults and to fulfil my promise, I have to ask you to prepare for a fight."
"You're kidding me, right?" he said, cursing inwardly at the awful rhyme. Man, it must have been bad with him to say such thing – if only the blond would stop splitting out the nonsense from those rosy, soft-looking lips... No, don't go there, you stupid brain!
"Of course not," now deadly serious mage began unfolding his yukata, "so please prepare."
"Idiot, we can't fight here," the ninja seized his willowy opponent with disbelief. "Besides, what are you going to do with those skinny fists?"
"Oh? Skinny fists you say?" apparently Kurogane chose wrong words because Yuui was giving him a look normally reserved for somebody who just devoured the cookie you've been waiting ages to eat (and everyone knows how important were sweets for the magician) and elongated his fingernails until they were sharp and deadly.
"Well then, if you are so much better," mage's voice balanced between amusement and carefully dosed malice, "you surely won't mind if I ask Tomoyo-chan or Souma-nee for some help? Like, hmm… where exactly is Kuro-grump ticklish?"
The mage was devil in disguise; he was sure about it now. "You won't dare," Kurogane hissed although without normal conviction and looked at women for support.
"Ohohohohohoho, Kurogane, are you telling me that the most feared ninja of Nihon is scared?" Tomoyo's eyes sparkled with mischief.
"Yes, you're not the man I knew," Souma decided to rub some salt into his wounded pride. "It's really a pity," she added with barely suppressed laughter, "but what can we do? Yuui, I'm surprised that you didn't have an opportunity to found out (a very meaningful look towards the ninja), but Kurogane's most sensitive spot is his stomach - you should see him when we tried to apply some healing ointment there!"
Everyone, except ninja, laughed merrily. "Oh I remember it!" exclaimed the empress, "All servants in the castle thought that Kurogane was possessed by some sort of demon, he laughed so hard." Another eruption of ohohohohohoho filled the room.
"All right, you three are officially worse than harpies," the ninja said, trying to ignore Mokona who was happily bouncing and singing 'Kuro-oni! Kuro-oni!'
"Oh no, now you're saying mean things about my beautiful hosts! I really have to act!" Yuui's hands were now dangerously close to his belly and Kurogane stepped back.
It wasn't as the mage was that difficult to defeat, even in such small room; but then his mind (damn traitor!) reminded him about incident in the bathroom and suddenly catching mage and pressing him to the floor seemed far too intimate. In fact, everything that included him, Yuui and touching of any sorts seemed too intimate as his stupid brain decided to show him more images of naked blond man. In fear that their fight would spiralled into something definitely indecent, Kurogane quickly moved to the other side of room.
"Ach, I can't believe my own mismatched eyes! Tomoyo-chan do you see the same?"
"Indeed Yuui, it's the most peculiar thing I've seen in ages! Kurogane is clearly avoiding the confrontation," the princess shook her head.
"It's almost like apocalypse, isn't it?" asked Souma. "We saw everything, we can die peacefully" she said to Kendappa, who nodded in agreement.
"Oi, stop fooling around! It's none of your business!"
"Oh, but Kuro-shen don't say such things- aren't we one big family, now?" chirped Yuui while attempting to corner ninja. Said man only glared at him, even if it had never worked -but he liked glaring so much, it would be a pity to stop after only one (mage-sized) failure. "Now be a good doggy and let me defeat my little lady's honour, all right?"
"Ugh, quit it already! I'm not going to stay anywhere near you!" Kurogane was clearly losing his recently-improved temper but after all those lonely nights who could blame him? Surely he should be praised for all the self-control he was displaying (Yama!).
"Hahaha, Kuro-chi you must really be scared if you didn't react when I called you a doggy!"
"I'm not scared! I'm never scared you little… don't come any closer!" Kurogane was frantically looking around the room to find some possible shield or escape route. After a quick debate with his pride he ducked behind Tomoyo which maybe was not so wise, since she was so short.
"My my, Kurogane, using your own princess as a shield?" the three (four if you counted the manjuu) harpies had a grand time (obviously must have spent some time with the witch, probably laughing at his expense).
"Oh, where is the ninja honour?!"
"Oh, where is the ninja pride?!"
"Oh, where is the ninja bravery?!"
"Aww, Kuro-ki there's no need to hide from me," although Yuui tried to keep the face serious and continue his act, he was close to suffocate from suppressed giggles. "Aren't you ashamed to act so silly in front of your beautiful rulers?" he said and started moving forward (in a very manly and predatory way, as part of Kurogane's brain noticed and immediately stored into use-only-during-very-cold-nights file).
He was so absorbed that almost missed the moment when Yuui finally struck. Thankfully, ninja reflex did not flee away along with ninja pride and honour - he managed to escape by performing set of acrobatic tricks and only one insignificant squeak when the mage almost caught him from behind. He started building a shield from the nearest pillows. That action finally made him realise how grotesque the whole situation was and he stopped (even if it was a pity to waste such nice pillow-fortress).
"All right, you bastard," he gasped heavily, "I give up. Are you happy, now?"
"Noooo, Kuro-boring, you're such a party-pusher!" the blond whined. "Oh well," he shrugged cheerfully, "come Mokona!" and stretched out his arms. And soon the whole room resounded with: We won with Kuro-pon! We won with Kuro-pon!
He looked at them with tired irritation "You didn't win. I simply refused to take part in your childish games" Kurogane said haughtily. Ha, horny, aroused and he still can keep his bad-ass demeanour! Take that!
"That's not true. You've lost by default! That's the great interdimensional rule, right?" the blond looked at the women with his best kitty eyes.
"Absolutely! Do you want another cookie Yuui-chan?"
And it worked, as usual. How come that kitty eyes always worked?
They ate in silence for a while. It felt so nice that Kurogane tried to remember if there was any god of silence he could pray to and prolong the bliss. Unfortunately, said god or goddess must have gone on holidays (or simply run far far away after hearing Yuui babbling) that day because he/she didn't prevent Souma from asking that one fatal question.
"But really, Yuui-chan, you didn't mind all those ninja looking at you with such obvious sexual intentions?"
"Sexual, Souma-neechan?" the mage gave her rather puzzled look. "But it's impossible. I mean, they were only men there. And I'm a man too. So it couldn't be."
Silence. And even more silence. And then Kurogane's world felt apart making really deafening metaphorical crash. Because he wasn't waiting until that little evil spying tool known as Mokona, would finally go back to her equally evil creator, to swept the blond off his feet and kiss him senseless, lalalalala, no, certainly not.
The others (fully aware of his feelings) looked a little uncertain at themselves since it was the last answer anyone had expected from (soo gay) mage. Even manjuu gave Kurogane a comforting look that made him want to strangle somebody- blond somebody if he could choose.
Kendappa was first who overcame the initial shock. "So, Yuui-kun… should we understand that you are not familiar with the concept of homosexuality?"
"Eh?" Yuui looked even more lost.
"It means boy-boy pair or girl-girl pairing!" Mokona helpfully supplied. "Didn't they have any boy-boy love in your country?" she asked in sympathetic manner.
"What?! No, of course not!" the mage sounded positively horrified. "Is-is it even physically possible?"
Horrified. The mage was horrified. No matter how many times our poor ninja repeated that sentence, it still didn't sound better. He shouldn't be horrified, dammit! Curious or interested or surprised if he had to. Kurogane looked sullenly at a bottle of sake as it could say that it was just a cruel joke. The mage was so obviously gay! He had to be! After all, he even turned the-manliest-of-manly Kurogane gay!"
He started to drink like there was no tomorrow.
Tomoyo, the ever reasonable one, tried to make some sense of that situation. "Yuui-kun, but you know what sex is, right?"
"Of course, I do!" the blond shook his head, offended. "Sex is a sacred activity between married couple. When comes the right time, the pair finalise their union under the blessing of their families and local priest. If their intentions are pure and their hearts brave, the gods blessed them with offspring" he recited and smiled proudly.
That was… unexpected, at least for the women (Kurogane was currently in the middle of befriending with second bottle).
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your country sex was strictly connected with procreation?" Kendappa continued the interrogation.
"Naturally. It's the whole point of doing it, right? The man puts his…" At that moment Kurogane made a high-pitched noise, like he was choking. Stupid, stupid mage; how could he spoke about it so easily around the women? Around him?!
"Ok, ok, we understand Yuui-chan," Tomoyo said hurriedly while Souma tried to pacify the ninja. "And it happened only between husband and wife?"
"Right-o, Tomoyo-chan!" the mage nodded with approval. "That way, if something bad occurred to the parents, their families would take care of children."
"But you were not married?" she asked, looking slyly at Kurogane who suddenly became very silent and very focused.
"Married? Oh no," he laughed and showed his hands. "See? No ring. I wouldn't hide such thing!"
"And you never wanted to…?" now Souma was the one horrified.
"To get married?" At that point Souma tried to say something (probably perverted) but Kendappa gave her a warning glare. "I've never considered such a thing.'
"Why not?" Kurogane asked before anyone else. The intensity of his glare could melt the iron.
The mage was not married. The mage was not married and thus free to hitch off with the ninja. The mage had never been married which meant that his delicious, slender body would soon belong solely to Kurogane. At that thought, his mouth began to water.
"Uhm, I was a head wizard there, remember? It was a tradition that the person with this title stayed single to prevent nepotism. The same went to the most important generals."
"Well, that's rather harsh way of dealing with corruption," Kendappa mused. "But politics aside; weren't you curious?"
"Curious, Amaterasu-sama?"
"Uhm, about the… process of co-... I mean, of procreation?" now it was empress' turn to went red. Apparently, the Talk was difficult for everyone.
"Of course I was!" (Kurogane sighed heavily; at least the mage had normal needs- there still was some hope for them) "I've read many biological books from Ashura-ou library and naturally I wanted to know how babies are made." (Or maybe he was just a science freak.) "But," Yuui continued, scratching his head sheepishly, "it took me a while to find out."
"Why is that?" Tomoyo asked with some kind of morbid fascination.
"Well, first I wanted to find some books about it. Unfortunately, each one I managed to found lacked the most important chapters. It was rather weird... I mean, there were no missing pages in other books... Anyway, I tried to ask Ashura-ou next but he went beet-red every time I was about to start and said that he had some urgent economy problems to solve."
"So what did you do, Yuui-chi?" said Mokona trying hard not to laugh since, as one of Yuuko's creations, she was no stranger to the topic of all kinds of love (contrary to her cute blond friend).
"I asked Tsuna-san, the castle chamberlain. He was really old, had wife and many kids and grandchildren so I thought that he knew everything about sex."
"And he did?"
"Yep! Tsuna- san told everything, about the differences about male and female bodies, marriage rituals and act of procreation, all that stuff. He even borrowed a book from one of the soldiers for me, you know, with pictures, so I could understand better" he furrowed his eyebrows. "I think that it was titled 'Kami-' 'Kama-'…"
"Kama sutra?" Kendappa suggested, earning a surprised look. "What? I was once curious, too," she smiled.
"Yes, I thing you're right, Amaterasu-sama! But there was nothing about pregnancy there so I had to ask Yuki-san, the head maid."
"And it was all? No girlfriends? No dates? No kisses stolen in the closet?" Souma couldn't get over the news but mage looked like he had no idea why was she so aggravated.
Suddenly, Kurogane decided that he had enough. "That's bullshit and I'm not buying it. You're not telling me that people of your crazy country made sex only when they wanted to kids. This ain't normal!" he practically bellowed.
"It's hard to admit but Kurogane has some point," said Souma while the ninja shot her a half-glare. "How on earth your people lived as a marriage without showing any affection to each other?"
"Affection?"
"Well… when you like somebody a lot, you usually want to express it somehow and…" Tomoyo paused, not entirely sure how explain it to the clueless mage without offending him.
Thankfully, Yuui released her from dilemma by bursting into laughter.
"Please Tomoyo-hime, I know perfectly well what affection is! But I understand that it's not exactly what you meant. You're talking about love-making, right?" he said easily.
Four pairs of eyes (even Mokona didn't understand what was going on any more) looked at him quizzically while Kurogane punched the wall beside him roaring like a drunken dragon he was. "You freaking moron, you made me think that-that you… me…that we… (a small but significant pause) and all that time you were just toying with me!! (Three exclamation marks-bad bad sign for Kuro's brain.) If we were alone I would strangle you! Cut you in half! I would…"
"Kiss you to death?" sniggered Mokona.
"MANJUU!"
"Kurogane, please calm down! You'll wake the entire castle," Kendappa and Tomoyo were giving him a stern look.
"B-But…!"
"Enough Kurogane, let me deal with it", said Kendappa with royal wave of hand. The ninja looked at her sullenly and grabbed the nearest bottle. The empress turned to face the mage. "Yuui-chan, you said that you never had been married and thus never experience sex."
"Uhm, yes" the blond still looked a bit shocked after Kurogane's outburst but decided to be polite nonetheless.
"However, you said love-making in the way indicating that it was nothing new to you?"
"You're right, of course, Amaterasu-sama," said mage with a disarming smile. "But how are those two things connected?"
"IT'S THE SAME THING, YOU IDIOT!" roared Kurogane from his AA corner.
Yuui's eyes snapped wide open. "Whaaa? It is not!"
"It is, you bastard! Stop playing."
"It's not! Don't be silly!"
"It is! And you're a moron!"
"It's not and you are a mean drunkard!"
"Because you're not making any sense! It is!"
"It's not! And you're the one acting like a madman!"
"I am not! And it is!"
"You are! It's not!'
"Boys! Behave!" Tomoyo bristled, causing the two men to look at their feet ashamedly. "I suspect that we are confused by some sort of language mistake."
"True, true!" chirped Mokona and jumped into mage's arms. "Yuui-chi, sex and love-making is the same thing in Kuro-horny world and in Mokona's world, too!"
"Eh, it is? That's really strange" the blond mage said wistfully. "But if Mokona says so, well it must be true!" he added cheerfully.
"Oi, why the hell you believed her and not me!"
"Hmm, it's really strange though. I mean sex is a procreation ritual and love-making is something entirely different! People do it when they like somebody very much and want to share that feeling."
Kurogane fell silent for a moment. "And you… do you… uh, you know… m-make love to somebody in your country?" he stuttered nervously.
"Oh? Naturally; whenever I could! "
"W-WHAT!!" To say that ninja was shocked would be a huge misunderstanding. Let's put a curtain of silence on Kurogane's broken brain. It's not that he wanted to be Yuui's first so badly but to think that… And all those moments when he restrained himself from pouncing on that stupid (cute) little…
In the meantime, the blond kept counting, "…and of course with Ashura-ou since I spent most time with him, and my tutors and Sasha-kun and Dio-kun from the kitchens and Mira-sama and Flo-chan and…"
"Y-Yuui I think that we've got a picture," said Tomoyo hurriedly while her sister and Souma tried to prevent Kurogane from jumping from the window and ending his misery (alcohol, broken brain and arousal should not be mixed). "But I must admit that we're a bit surprised to hear that you did it with so many people."
"You are? But why? Is it uncommon in your country to like more than a few people? It's hard to believe- everyone here is so friendly!"
Tomoyo sweat dropped "W-well, I think that our countries are more different than we might imagine." She looked at the other women for support but they were still occupied with poor heartbroken ninja. Then, an idea struck her. "Yuui-chan, I know that it may sound weird but please pretend for a while that love-making is a foreign concept for us. Could you be more forthcoming?"
The mage squealed with delight and clapped. "Oh Tomoyo-chan, I'm so happy! It's been so long and I missed it so much but no one ever proposed it and I didn't want to be clingy and thought that maybe people in other countries don't do it with someone they know only for a while and," he paused to take a deep breath. "Well, I was a bit sad but it doesn't matter anymore! Thank you, Tomoyo-hime! I'm very grateful that you want to make love with me!
The jaws of everyone in the room simultaneously dropped
"WHAT?!" Kurogane screamed (for the umpteenth time that evening) and smashed his head against the table. There was no way in the hell he would do let that immoral mage to... gah!
"N-No Yuui, it's not what you t-think!" the little princes stuttered, holding her hands defensively and blushing - poor Tomoyo didn't predict such bluntness.
"Yuui-chan! W-what are you saying!" even growing up between (more than dirty) soldiers didn't prepared Souma to hear such words from innocent-looking mage.
Kendappa joined Kurogane beside the table, silently mourning the sophisticated wedding she had planned for the mage and his ninja. And she counted on them so much! She needed that wedding, dammit, so she could introduce her country into new era of tolerance and respecting the minority rights! Where would she find such a cute couple like them?!
And now, instead of a grand wedding they had a grand disaster.
Oblivious to their internal turmoil, the blond flopped gracefully on the floor to untie his sandals, constantly babbling how grateful and happy he was, how wonderful was to live in Nihon now and did he mention that he is soo exited?
"Tomoyo-chan I'm ready!" the mage exclaimed cheerfully and patted the pillow invitingly. The little princess stared at him, at loss about what to say. "Y-you want to do it now? B-but... Yuui-chan, why did you put off your shoes?"
"Eh? But you can't make love with your shoes on, Tomoyo-chan! It's the most important part, after all," the mage said wisely.
"Yuui-chan, I'm afraid we don't truly understand…" Kendappa frowned, wondering if they had made a mistake by inviting the blond to Nihon. True, it was good to have another magician in the country and yes, he was utterly adorable. Plus, Kurogane was so much easier to handle with him around - one smile from the cutie and the fearsome ninja would be reduced to a harmless puppy. However, it seemedthe man's sanity was something… well, to be treated with a healthy dose of wary.
Kurogane was not in such contemplative mood. He threw his (fifth? tenth?) bottle out of the window and glared hard, albeit a bit dizzily at the mage. Then he stood up and spoke slowly, like he was talking to a very very dumb child, "I've heard many stupid things you said, Kami help me, I have. And under any normal circumstances I can almost tolerate your constant gibbering. But please, just that one time, could you spare me and tell directly what the HELL IS GOING IN THAT RETARDED HEAD OF YOURS?!"
Well no one is perfect. But who could blame a guy? It was not his fault, after all – it's what too many cold showers do to a man.
"Kuro-tan," the mage said sternly, "why are shouting at me? I just wanted to make love with Tomoyo-hime. Clearly, you don't object?"
"Of course I object! You will do it over my dead body!! And what is that crap about taking off your shoes?!"
Souma looked at the fuming ninja shouting obscenities at slightly trembling Yuui and shook her head. Dear God, why they had to complicate everything? The blond should just explain those weird habits of his - unlike some other, jealous ninja, Souma had actually realised (after short, internal debate with herself) that mage was as pure (and naive) as the first snow (or fresh laundry). Then, Kurogane would have a perfect opportunity to drag him into some empty, comfortable room and thoroughly explain what really love-making means.
Men were so slow sometimes. She definitely had to help them – for the sake of a kingdom of course, since horny and unsatisfied Kurogane was probably the most dangerous thing ever. Maybe they should use him as a weapon?
Or maybe not. No one deserved such cruelty, even your enemies.
It was time to act.
"Yuui-kun, understand that our habits are completely different when it comes to some… aspects. Please, explain what you were going to do with Hime-sama."
"But I have told you already, Souma-neechan!" the mage looked exasperated. "I just wanted to make love with her!"
"That we understood, but what exactly is love-making to you?" Kendappa asked. "Just tell us the... um, physic side of that act."
Yuui sighed but complied nonetheless. "Ugh, right. I don't really get what all of you are talking about but... In Celes, when two people wanted to express their love or friendship, they would sit on the ground, like that," at those words, the mage flopped on the floor again, with his legs stretched in front of him, "and touch with their soles."
That statement left them speechless so the blond felt obliged to continue. "Our prophet said, and we followed his teachings, that it impossible to feel anything else but love and peace when people touch like that. Naturally, under the condition that their foot are clean and well-kept," he added as an afterthought.
"I'm taking back everything bad I have just said to you" Kurogane said slowly, not taking his eyes of the willowy man. "Living in a place crazy as that... there was no chance for you to be even close to normal."
"And I have absolutely no idea what are you talking about, Kuro-pii," the blond remarked cheerfully, feigning obliviousness. "So... if I've just explained everything... would you do me that honour and make love with me, Tomoyo-hime?"
"Of course, Yuui-chan," the younger princess laughed with glee; relieved, that they won't have to lock Kurogane in some dungeon and a bit ashamed of the indecent images that had popped in her mind a few minutes earlier. "Everything to make our new citizen happy,"
Tomoyo quickly slid off her sandals and positioned herself in front of the mage. "Oh stop, everyone!" she giggled at the incredulous stares of her friends. "You should always show respect towards the foreign customs," she lectured them in semi-serious manner. "Besides, maybe Yuui-kun method of love-making, as strange as it seems, is not that different from ours?" She promptly ignored Yuui's cry 'Of course!' and Kurogane's snorts and continued. "That way, I would be the first person in Nihon to feel Yuui-chan love," she teased looking at the ninja who huffed and stared sulkily at the wall, trying to look as he didn't care.
Because he didn't. It was a ridiculous idea and they all knew that. There was NO WAY that you can feel anything by touching somebody's feet! Stupid mage and his bizarre habits! Feh.
Still his eyes trained themselves at the pair sitting at the floor. God, why was Tomoyo closing her eyes now? And the idiot should stop smiling that way... He was enjoying that too much. He had probably come up with this absurd custom just to annoy him. But there was no way Yuui would get away with it without paying him back. And Kurogane was definitely going to take his sweet time with him...yeah...
While Kurogane was happily getting himself lost in particular thoughts involving hand-cuffs and writhing blonds, Tomoyo and Yuui finally parted their feet. The shy question glimmered in mage's eyes when he finally looked at his petite friend.
"...I would never guess that you like me that much, Yuui-chan," the princess said with delicate smile that made the blond rub his neck sheepishly.
"You're just too kind to me, Hime," he toed the carped a bit. "Um, thank you once again... It really feels like home, now..." the blond said softly. After hearing that, Tomoyo laughed heartily and threw herself at the bewildered mage. "But Yuui-chi, you are at home! You must never doubt it!" she said with wide smile which the blond returned hesitantly.
"Tomoyo-chan..."
"Oh no, don't Tomoyo-chan me now! Next time you return from some trip, you're going to came and said Tadaima and we all will say Okairinasai, all right?"
"Ahaha yessir!" the mage saluted with grin. "Hmm, I think I might go on many trips from now on."
"Wait, wait. Are you telling us that it actually works?" Souma was so shocked that forgot to use the usual honorific but Tomoyo only stretched her back lazily. "Oh, definitely. It's like meditation and sex and music in the same time," she winked. "You just have to try it."
Kendappa only shook her head. "You will never cease to surprise me," she said, although not specifying if she meant Tomoyo, Yuui or magicians in general. "However... it was a hard week for the council and it might be beneficial to feel some extra love. Yuui-kun, would you...?"
"Oh with pleasure, Amaterasu-sama!" the mage almost jumped with joy. "Please sit here," he led her to some comfy-looking pillow.
"No need to be so formal! It's love-making right? Call me Kendappa," she said with a grin.
"Kendappa-ou that is! Would you like to help you with your sandals?"
"Mokona will help!" exclaimed the little creature, bouncing a few times in joy before trying to untie the empress' shoe laces with her chubby paws. "And then Mokona will make footsie love with Yuui, too!"
"I'd love to make love with you, Mokona!" Yuui laughed merrily.
"Hmm, it seems that they will be busy for a while, don't they?" Tomoyo mused and risked a sideway glance at Kurogane who still stood frozen in the corner where her words 'Yuui', 'love', 'works' and 'sex' had caught him. "Well, Kurogane is still dead for the world... care for a little session of love making, Souma?"
The tanned women said nothing but the glint in her eyes spoke volumes.
Later, when everyone was nicely relaxed after Celesian version of love-making and even Kurogane let go of the bottle he had been nursing, Yuui brought up something they all had managed to push away.
"Um, from all things you said, I've gathered that your way of showing feelings like friendship and love is not similar to mine... Is it much different?" he asked in the most genuine and innocent manner.
Everyone in the room froze. And then Kurogane knew that he was absolutely doomed. Because there was no way he would be able to tell Yuui what he wanted to do with him after seeing all this. And looking at the women, nor did they. Even Mokona couldn't bring herself to say something perverted.
He needed a drink, badly. Preferably under a cold shower.
A/N I hope you did get the joke. Kudos for everyone who knows where Yuui's idea of love-making comes fromXD. I was thinking about posting one bonus chapter with short scenes revolving around Kurogane's attempts to explain his concept of showing affection, but I'm not sure. Although if anyone wanted like to write them, I would be extrmely happy.
