Kamui had always been positive that if she were to die it would have been one of two ways. On the battlefield or of old age.

Either one sounded honorable to some degree, and both ensured that she fulfilled her purpose in life to the best of her ability.

However at this moment there was nothing she wanted more then for the earth to swallow her whole. Just to end all her suffering.

In fact death actually would be a mercy at this point.

Feeling Aqua sympathetically pat her head, Kamui tried to recall exactly how and why she had ended up having this discussion.

10 minutes prior.

Marx raised his hand to silence his present siblings babbling.

"Once more, okay? I promise then we can begin. Ryoma?"

"Present."

"Camilla?"

"Here."

"Hinoka?"

"For the 4th time, yes Im here."

"Leon?"

"Sadly present."

"Takumi?"

"Here."

Finally pleased with his own quadruple checked off checklist, the oldest Nohrian sat back down. Save for Elise and Sakura, who had been sent into town for an hour, the rest of them were now officially ready to have their much needed meeting.

With a wave of his hand he ordered for Joker to go fetch his little sister and her partner.

The butler obeyed immediately and departed. Though the minute he exited the room, the young boy prayed to the gods that Kamui would forgive him once he lead her into this sure demise.

No one should go through what she would be soon.

Once certain that the white haired servant was gone, the blonde eldest directed his attention back to those present.

"Now we all are ready for this, right?"

Ryoma nodded. While Camilla lazily rolled her eyes.

"Yes brother. You've drilled us on what to say 7 times now."

"I just dont want Kamui to feel as though the situation HAS to be awkward!"

Leon actually scoffed at that.

"Really? You don't think the moment she realizes what is happening she won't be mortified?"

Takumi nodded along in agreement.

"It probably is worse seeing as how Leon and I are present too."

The lobster of the group shook his head at their skepticism.

"Its crucial to the foundation of this family that she knows we care. Hinoka don't you think she'll understand?"

The redhead actually was quite unsure of how her dear sister would react. Though at the same time she understood deeply why the two oldest brothers saw this as a necessary discussion to have.

Before Hinoka could respond, Joker arrived back with Kamui and Aqua in tow.

"Yes Joker I promise never to stay mad at you? Why do you keep asking-"

Noticing her siblings all siting amongst each other, the half dragon princess raised a suspicious brow.

"Wait whats-"

Turning back, the princess barely caught a final glimpse of the young man before he left. Locking the door on his rush out.

Okay now she was terrified.

Camilla made a motion for the two to sit.

Aqua, while keeping her best poker face, lead them both to the designated seats. Directly in front of everyone else.

Intervention style it seemed.

Successfully nervous now, Kamui turned to Marx and Ryoma.

"Okay what is this? Where are Elise and Sakura?"

The blonde waved his hand dismissively.

"They're out shopping with Flora and Felicia at the moment. We needed them out of the castle while we talked."

"...why may I ask..."

Ryoma now took the lead.

"Kamui now that you and Aqua are more or less officially a couple, the six of us thought it'd be best to have the...the talk with you both."

"What talk?"

"You know...THE talk?"

It took one second for the princess to catch on.

Present Time.

Low and behold the room had successfully fallen into silence after the admission. Kamui's face had made a large aray of emotions in the span of a single minute.

First shock, then disgust, then anger, then back to disgust, then dread. Until finally she settled on a look of horror mixed with heavy amounts of embarrassment.

Kamui leaned forward in her seat and barely whispered that this had to be a sick joke.

Aqua merely smirked and leaned back in her chair slightly. Patting her girlfriend's head in comfort. This was going to be beyond amusing for her.

Noticing his little sisters discomfort, Takumi gave her an encouraging nod.

"We just want to make sure you're being smart sister."

The white haired girl's eye twitched. Suddenly she jerked back up.

"WHY ARE LEON AND YOU EVEN HERE? IM OLDER THEN YOU BOTH!"

The two boys shared a look. Before Leon crossed his arms.

"Technically yes, but Takumi and I surpass you in terms of actual intelligence and responsibility. No offense."

"How on gods earth am I suppose to not take offense to that?"

Marx quickly defused the three's arguement.

"I asked them to attend because Leon is right Kamui. You are a fantastic leader and we respect that, but for this...specific meeting, we'd thought itd be best for added input from them."

The half dragon placed her head in her hands again.

"This is something I don't even want to discuss with any of you, much less my little brothers!?"

Seeing as how stubborn her Kamui was beginning to get, Camilla began to fake a few tears.

Making an extra show of how "heartbroken" she was.

"Oh sister have you really started to hate us so much that you cant even feel comfortable letting us help you?"

It was a low blow and everyone present could feel it. Kamui hated making Camilla cry, even if she knew 99% of the tears shed were for the sake of guilt tripping other.

Sighing heavily, the half dragon moved to grip onto Aqua's hand.

"Thats not fair and you know it sister. Uhg, fine lets just get this over with."

Seeing as how she was willing to listen now, Camilla straightened up and smiled. She knew her dear Kamui too well.

Clearing his throat with an air of authority, Marx gave his thanks to the purple haired woman.

"Now then, while this talk is more or less the main point of our meeting, I would like to start off on a lighter note. To ease us all past the tension. So Aqua may I ask what exactly your intentions are with my little sister?"

Smacking her forehead, the princess actually prayed to be struck down. This was painful already.

The blue haired woman though simply smiled with ease.

"My intentions, Lord Marx, are to make your sister happy."

"Is that all? We want to assure there are no ulterior motives here. Its no secret that while Ryoma and I hold the title, Kamui is technically the ruler of an overwhelming amount of the kindom."

The dancer raised an eyebrow.

"Had we not spoken of this matter at dinner all those months ago? Money is irrelevant, hierarchy means nothing considering I grew up in Hoshido's castle regardless, and any other concerns make little sense. My intentions are to love Kamui. Nothing else."

After politely shutting down any rebuttal, Aqua smiled charmingly. Marx nodded in respect and nudged Ryoma. It was his turn.

"That was very well said Aqua, and I thank you for your honesty. Now the next matter at hand. Until her 21st birthday Kamui will be unable to marry unless given away by Marx or myself. Is there any rush within the next few years that you should want to quicken the process?"

Aqua thought for a moment.

"No."

Leon gave a look of suspicion.

"Does this mean you never intend to marry, or that you wish to wait until her coming of age?"

"Neither, I simply mean that we have never planned so far ahead. The matter hasnt even been discussed between till now. So im unable to say whether or not there should be any reason for us to rush into anything."

Kamui nodded. However Ryoma wasn't exactly keen on her answer.

"Planning in advance is important though. We need a substantial amount of time to ready things should the event ever be held. Guests would have be brought in ahead of time, flower arrangements, dresses, musicians have to be payed, and the dinner has to have a certain amount time to be prepared. Thiugh Id prefer we skip any kind of shellfish-"

"Ry, I love you dearly but if you continue to try and play my wedding planner I might strangle you."

Ahh there was his sister that he loved so dearly. She hadn't really spoken much yet.

Realizing he had gone a little too far with his musing, the red armored knight smiled apologetically back.

"Forgive me Kamui. You're right. But just assure me, this is not a simple fling with Aqua. You very well may marry her some day?"

The white haired girl turned to her girlfriend and smiled.

"I certainly hope so."

Okay two successful talks done.

Next was Leon and Takumi, who both merely spoke of terms regarding Aqua's personal history within Hoshido's borders.

"She has a clean record, no complaints, has payed her taxes perfectly each year, many people have complimented her for her skills as a dancer-"

"Takumi I don't see how any of this is relevant to-"

"Hush sister. Where was I? Oh yes she has a ranking of 9 from the war, placing her in the top percentile, is a

especially loved at the orphanage where she goes occasionally to sing to the children, has a 2% chance of possibly breaking up with you-"

Kamui had tuned out a while ago. Instead she turned her head to her girlfriend.

"Orphanage?"

The blue haired woman smiled a little shyly.

"Years ago the woman running it had heard me singing in town and had asked if I minded stopping by now and again. The children there adore learning to dance as well as sing."

Kamui's heart melted at the admission.

"Why have you never told me such a beautiful thing?"

"I never knew what your thoughts would be on the matter. I suppose though it'd be lovely for you to come with me next time. Its been nearly two weeks now..."

Smiling happily in agreement, Kamui placed a peck on her girlfriend's lips. Then another.

Before they could continue however, Hinoka cleared her throat.

"Not to break up the moment, but now that we have gotten the facts such out of the way. There is still an important matter to deal with."

While yes, the redhead looked about as reluctant to speak as Kamui may be to answer, it had to be done.

"Thankfully or not, I only need to ask one question Kamui, and then Camilla will be taking over."

Gods Kamui knew exactly where this was going.

"Hinoka its not really ness-"

"Have you been intimate with Aqua since you've started dating?"

Welp the dragon princess's face now successfully matched her older sister's red hair. Pulling both of her hands up to cover her face, Kamui began to groan like she had earlier.

She had known it would lead to this, they had warned her, but just hearing it out loud made her want to hide.

Aqua merely smiled feigned innocence.

"My dear are you alright? You appear flushed."

"Don't act coy. This is something I never wanted to discuss in front of my family..."

Camilla took the lack of admittance as her cue to assume they had in fact already been with one another.

"Well if you two aren't denying this, we can all assume what that means. Now Aqua do you have any history of sexual diseases?"

It was the blue haired girl's turn to be caught off guard.

"I-Im sorry what?"

"Sexual diseases. Has there been a time or place where while having sec with with another you were transmitted a possible form of illness. That along with the question of how safe have you and Kamui been when engaging?"

The way Camilla said it with such unapologetic ease, was terrifying. It was as casual in tone as though talking about the weather.

Kamui felt like her soul had left her body.

This was officially the worst day of her life...and she had been in a war for gods sake!

"Sister this is not the time or place to ask her such a personal -"

"Kamui is the first person I've ever been with."

Snapping her head over to look at Aqua, the half dragon saw that she had completely regained her composure.

And she was not finished either.

"Unless she lied when telling me I too was her first, I doubt there is a chance either of us are at risk. Yes we are as safe as we can be, and while the matter isn't one I'd speak if willingly, no I do not have any type of illness sexually."

A beat passed.

Kamui worried her lover's bluntness had broken her siblings.

Suddenly though, Camilla began to laugh. Actually and whole heartedly laugh.

"My! That's such a relief. Now that we are all on the same page, do you two need anything for the next time you wish to have sex? Theres a very reliable shop towards the back end of the market that sells rope enchanted to feel like silk -"

Hinoka had to physically jumped to get the purple haired knight to get her to shut up.

"OKAY OKAY! Camilla you've made your point!"

Marx, who was now deeply pale in the face called for Joker to unlock the door.

"I think...we've all had enough talk of our private lives for today. Perhaps forever. Kamui and Aqua I'm glad you're both being smart."

"I wish I could say Im glad we had this talk but thats a lie. Come on Aqua..."

Kamui began to lead them out.

The blue haired girl snickered slightly and bumped shoulders with her lover.

"I suppose it's somewhat nice to know they care right?"

"I wish they didn't...I think I just ended up getting more information then I ever wanted to know."

"Well-"

Turning to lean down and press a chaste kiss on Kamui's forehead, the dancer smiled mischievously.

"-at least I know where we to go shopping next time we go out now."
