Disclamer: not mine.... Oh well... Life goes on.

A.N. This is Tasuki/Chichiri fic. If you don't think that two men should be together in any relationshipy sense, then Don't read! That was easy now wasn't it? Sorry about the whole Japanese and English words thing. I keep forgetting the right words. Also, thanks for the reviews... Keep them coming!

Swimming Lessons

Chapter six

By Lady Firebird

After a long and wakeful night that was full of tossing and turning for the two senchi, breakfast was brought in by a smiling Miaka.

"Morning you two! Ready for a fun day of protecting me?" Miaka laughed and set the tray down. "I know how you two used to enjoy it so much!" She laughed inwardly as she looked towards the bed, the two men were as far away from eachother as they could be. She knew that they loved eachother, and every little thing that they did confirmed that. Even sleeping very far away from eachother.

"Morning Miaka!" Tasuki bounced out of bed, and raced for the food. Chichiri followed him more sedately.

"Good morning Miaka. Did you sleep well?" Chichiri asked.

"Oh yes. The room that Taiiskun gave me is wonderful! Did you two sleep well? Miaka smiled knowing the answer.

"Like a rock!" Tasuki lied

"Very well, no da!" Chichiri nodded, and smiled, and turned a bright shade of red. "Will you join us for breakfast?" Chichiri held out a peice of fruit that he knew that Miaka liked.

"Ohhhhh... No. No food... Morning sickness." Miaka turned a nice shade of green, and turned away from the sight off food.

"Wow, that was a first. Miaka actually turned down food!" Tasuki laughed and laughed, and then choked on the peice of bread. Chichiri thump him on the back chuckling.

"It's not funny. All food makes me throw up! But I'm sooo hungery. I'll just have to eat a bigger lunch!" Miaka returned to her normal color and smiled happily. Her two senchi sighed and started to eat.

A few hours later, Miaka was watching the first swimming lesson for the firey warrior. Chichiri started the lesson by making Tasuki hold his breath and put his head under water. Next was how to float.

"Don't worrk Tasuki. I'll be right here. Just let the water support you." Tasuki did as he was told, and was soon floating. But that all ended when he started laughing at the faces that Chichiri was making at him. Chichiri reached down and fished his friend out of the water for a second time. They both had a good laugh out of it and went to the shore to dry off. Miaka noted that they spent a few to many seconds touching when passing the towel on, and she grinned. She knew that Taiiskun would be pleased. She left the two men alone to talk and entered the house.
