At first Konoka didn't do anything, dropping the cards she was holding. Then Setsuna forced her backwards, pushing her against the back of the couch. She'd moved her hands down her lower back. Konoka cried out in surprise as she felt sharp fingernails prod the skin near the base of her spine. Then Setsuna suddenly stopped, moving backwards. She looked shocked, frozen with wide, wide eyes. A tinge of red crept across her face.

Electricity seemed to crackle between them.

"Whoa," Asuna broke the silence. She was staring at them, open-mouthed. "I think I saw tongue…"

"Royal Flush," ChaChamaru said. "I believe I win this round."

"What?" Asuna cried out, turning her attention back to the gynoid. "Oh no way…I was so close to getting a full house."

ChaChamaru gave a faint smile then glanced at Setsuna, "Your heart rate is approaching an incredibly dangerous rate Setsuna-san. I suggest you sit down."

Setsuna mumble something incoherent then spinning on her heel, hurried out of the room. She was looking at her hands. Konoka ran after her but she moved even faster, heading for the stair-case.

" Secchan wait up!" Konoka called.

She broke into a sprint. Konoka frowned, matching her pace. It was hard because Setsuna was naturally faster. When she reached the top of the stairs though, she tripped over the top step. As she quickly scrambled to her feet and headed for the nearest bedroom Konoka darted forwards, grabbing her hand in a vice grip. As Setsuna growled, whirling around on her with a hand raised she tugged her closer and kissed her without hesitation. There was a moment when they both froze. Konoka could feel her lips quivering. She was afraid.

"It's ok," Konoka whispered. "You don't have to be scared."

Setsuna slowly slipped around her arm around her waist, jerking her up against her. Konoka was the one pushing her back and she didn't realize that she had Setsuna up against the wall until she heard wood crack. She could feel Setsuna's fingers running through her hair, her tongue in hers. It sent shivers up her spine, electric jolts dancing across her skin. Her head buzzed. Setsuna's hand had trailed up her back, lifting her singlet upwards. There was a shredding noise as the singlet was ripped apart. Konoka leaned into her, her heart pounding.

They were in the storage room on the first floor rifling through some stuff inside. There were heaps of boxes of the shelves and deformed dolls and weapons like swords, daggers and even a spear as well. Asuna was checking out some a package labeled "pills" on it and took out a small blue capsule.

"Net Capsules: Courtesy of Chao Lingshen Corps. United…," Asuna read.

"Master usually has a storage room full of things like this. She used to use them as motivation for training occasions with Setsuna-san when she wanted to make her fight to her full potential," ChaChamaru said.

"What do they do?" Asuna put the capsules back in the box hastily.

"They are used to explode things. Each capsule has the impact of a stick of dynamite," Chachamaru explained.

"…Tell me that next time why don't you," Asuna stared at her, gulping, "Geeze…why would she need something so dangerous lying around?"

"Master likes to keep things handy in case of emergencies," ChaChamaru said.

"What kind of emergency would someone like her have?" Asuna gulped.

"Sometimes she gets lazy and just likes to throw things at people for fun."

"Things that explode?"

"Yes those are her favourite. Then she likes to watch them scream and run when she throws them."

Asuna stared at her, "Really?"

"Yes she once used this method to terrorize a group of pirates who were hunting her for a bounty," Chachamaru said. "They thought they were being attacked by aliens."

"I guess that's one way to use it," Asuna said blankly. "So where do you think Konoka and Setsuna went?"

"Judging by the hormones that the both of them were producing and Setsuna-san's lust as exhibited by her increased heart-rate, her blood pressure rising and her body language she may be attempting to have sexual intercourse with Konoka-san. Konoka-san, who also possesses an interest in Setsuna-san, as seen through her behaviour and mannerisms around Setsuna-san, will most likely respond positively," ChaChamaru replied.

Asuna fumbled with the box of capsules as she put it back on the shelf, going red.

"…Right," Asuna headed towards the door, stretching. "Well I'm going to go make a call. See how my brother's doing."

She walked out, heading for the kitchen. When she went into the foyer she heard thuds above her coming from the top of the stair-case. Frowning Asuna climbed up the stair-case. She heard clothes rustling, someone that sounded a lot like Konoka speaking in a frantic voice and a door slam. When she reached the top Setsuna was leaning with her back against the door, her face flushed and panting. At her feet were the remnants of a singlet.

"What are you doing up here here Asuna?" Setsuna asked.

"Heard noises…where's Konoka?" Asuna replied, eying the singlet.

Setsuna flattened herself against the door. Her hands were out of sight behind her back. She said, "Inside. She's changing."

Asuna looked from the singlet to the door then said, "Were you two making out?"

Setsuna's face became redder than a fire hydrant. The doorknob rattled suddenly and the door flung open from the inside. Yelping Setsuna tumbled backwards into Konoka who caught her. Konoka who was wearing nothing but a night gown.

"Hey Asuna," Konoka said brightly.

"Hey…was I interrupting something?" Asuna said blankly.

"Nah we were just talking about that kiss isn't that right Secchan?" Konoka said.

Standing up Setsuna touched the back of her shoulders uncomfortably, "Yeah sure. I'm going to go eat something. I'll see you guys later."

Asuna watched her go, a little wary. The redhead had seen fangs exactly like Evangeline's. Konoka's face told a different story. Her eyes were wide with worry.

"You guys were making out weren't you?" Asuna accused once Setsuna had disappeared down the stairs.

Konoka twisted her fingers together nervously, "Well…we were kind of…yeah we were. It just kind of happened. Don't tell her I said this but she needs a little bit of practice just a tiny bit."

"I don't want to have to say this but you should be careful with her," Asuna said.

"What are you talking about Asuna?"

"Well…," Asuna hesitated. Walking over to the brunette she put a hand on her shoulder, smiling at her, "I'm happy for you and all but just…be careful."

Konoka lowered her eyes, pulling out the googly fluffball mascot from inside the bath robe that she'd created for the fortune telling club before they'd began this whole crazy adventure. Looking at it fondly she said quietly, "I know Asuna."

A.N: Hmm...one thing to say and that is next chapter will contain [b]lemons[/b] so if you don't want [b]lemons[/b] then well, you'll just have to do without [b]lemons[/b] and go to those nice other fics that doesn't have a single [b]lemon[/b] in it :). Oh and another thing this chapter marks the start of the final "arc" which involves well...you'll just to read to find out.
