Great…our commander turns out to be an egotistical quack with eyes like a demon. Not to mention when he screeches he sounds like a girl…wait…that's insulting myself!

This Dilandau person was annoying was the first thought to come to Hikou's mind, very egocentric too. The senior ranking Dragonslayers were sitting closely to the pale general, almost protectively as they gazed attentively to Dilandau.

When were they going to actually do some training? With those large machines they call mechas?

"I'll be sending a few slayers as representatives of Zaibach for Fanelia's annual ball for neutrality between countries. Anyone who dares crack up this day or shows disrespect will be going."

Ah…so going to Fanelia is a said punishment aye? How nice…I heard Fanelia's nice this time of year, I might just goof up a bit just to go!

Hikou frowned at his thoughts, fiddling with his gloved hands and tugging uncomfortably with the slightly oversized armor he wore. It seemed there wasn't a fitting size for him, much like Touya's predicament. Movement to his left caught his eye as he turned to see what it was; a person dwarfed in black armor came into the room quietly.

The person had short silver blue hair, a rare hair color, but it seemed to match with her wide aqua orbs. Her hair was cut boyishly short; reaching the nape of her neck with longer bangs curtaining the glittering eyes she hid.

Hikou was too busy; he didn't notice the light tap on his shoulder.

"Hikou…Hikou!" Touya slapped the blonde's head for good measure, making sure that the green-eyed slayer was paying attention to him.

"Huh?"

"You're really dense sometimes, ya know that? Sorry for thwapping you a good one but you deserved it." Touya grinned merrily, russet eyes gleaming, "What's got your attention?"

"Look someone just entered, and it's a girl." Hikou pointed out.

"Really? Mou!" Touya looked in the direction Hikou pointed and saw Yui stand in the corner. "Wow, that's nice but I don't think she's a Dragonslayer. Her uniforms all black, ours are black and blue."

"Doesn't mean she isn't one to be underestimated, she probably has a rank that can be reached for women too."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Touya questioned puzzled.

"It means that if we weren't hiding, we'd probably be in her same position." Hikou glared pointedly at Touya, green jade eyes penetrating into russet olive orbs.

Touya's jaw slacked in a gape, eyes wide with sneaking horror and suspicion.

*************

Chichiri's sight seemed to focus off into the distance as he walked with Refina in the expansive training grounds of the Zaibach Fortress; he walked numbly and almost oblivious to the tall blonde woman at his side.

"…Maybe when you're on you're next break, we can go out for dinner together! It'll be wonderful, and of course, since I'm a lady you'll bring me to a nice bistro…Chichiri? Hello, Chichiri!"

"…Da? Yes, Refina?" Chichiri snapped out of his daze and looked at Refina, his unmarred right eye was intense on Refina's dark eyes.

Refina felt shivers run down her spine, his face was almost disturbing to her even though it was uniquely beautiful. The mysterious scar that sealed his left eye shut was a story Chichiri seemed to avoid with everybody; no body was able to get his story from it. Either it was too horrible…or too embarrassing.

She frowned, keeping in mind that Chichiri's thoughts seemed to stray away from her.

"Is there something on your mind?"

"Uh…no--"

"Oi, dammit what the heck are you doing? Stop it! STOP!"

A voice interrupted Chichiri before he could give Refina a plausible answer, both her and his attention on the interrupters. "Zaghnn? Dehounne?"

Two youths looked up, a pair of green and pair of russet orbs were on Chichiri and Refina. Hikou had Touya in a headlock with the latter's arms struggling to pull away. Both had expressions of deer in headlights, eyes wide as saucers and posture frigid, as they broke apart.

"It was his fault!" They both cried in unison, pointing to the counterpart.

"No it isn't it's yours you braided-baka!"

"How's it my fault?! It wasn't me who declared General Albatou a she man! If I'm not mistaken that was YOU!"

"I can't help my impulse to tell the truth!" Hikou snapped, flushing straight to the ears.

"Well your impulses need to be told to shut the hell up!" Touya exclaimed loudly, a playful scowl on his face.

"Are you mocking me?"

Touya blinked innocently, pointing to himself and shaking his head, "Me? Of course not, why would I mock you? I mean haven't you mocked our commander enough?"

Chichiri blinked in confusion and scratching his head in puzzlement, "What the heck are you two talking about, no da?"

Instead of letting Hikou and Touya answer, Yui came sauntering up with a silly grin on her face. "Well if I'm not mistaken, it seems Zaghnn and Dehounne are going to a ball together to represent Zaibach in Fanelia!" Yui's aqua orbs glittered gleefully, "Not to mention Hikou insulted the commander! And he's really pissed off and steaming out of his ears!"

Chichiri sweat dropped, "Oh boy…that's not good." He turned towards Refina, " I wonder how many times he'll slap somebody before calming down."

Yui's eye's widened, overhearing the blue-haired soldier's words. "Wait a second, he slaps people?! That's not nice, he should treat his underlings with respect!"

Hikou and Touya nodded, ignoring the underling remark and absently hoping they wouldn't be on the receiving line of Dilandau's wrath.

"I don't wanna get bitch slapped…" Hikou exclaimed worriedly, glancing at Touya and Yui nervously.

Touya bit his nails sheepishly and rumpled his hair in anxiety, "I don't think anyone does! I've heard rumors that his last blow knocked a poor slayer unconscious for hours!"

"Oh that's a nice thought!" Hikou snapped anxiously, close to biting his nails also.

"Oh great, no da…I think I'm going to see if Lord Dilandau is…sedate." Chichiri spoke slowly, and then sighed, "Then afterwards, I'm off to get a drink."

That night…

"So Hikou you think going to Fanelia won't be as bad as Lord Dilandau makes it out to be?"

"Who knows maybe we might even have some fun, drive people crazy with our obnoxious attitudes and show how Zaibach's true colors just shine."

"That thought scares me for some reason."

"Good, because it's supposed to, now get to sleep baka."

****

"Whoa man, you're totally wasted!"

"…Da…"

"Need any help there, Chichiri?"

"Wachu talkin 'bout Kyooo? Of coursh not no da! I tink I can handle a leetle walk to mah woom."

"If you say so…man I wouldn't want to be you in the morning. You're going to have one hell of a hangover."

"Daaa…."

Chichiri stumbled down the hall, his vision blurred and groggy. His hand gripped over the handle to a door and he fell in. Heading straight to the bed he removed he stripped down to his boxers and slipped into the bed. His sheets were surprisingly warm tonight.

*******

Warm…nice warmth…

Yui cuddled closer, nuzzling her face against heated solid silk with a smile tingeing her lips faintly. Her arms wrapped around her pillow tightened, and she whimpered when two arms came to wrap her body, pulling Yui possessively towards. A thought quickly entered her mind frantically.

Wait a minute…pillows don't have arms!! They do NOT hug back either!

"Ack!" Yui's aqua orbs shot open to come face to face with a broad chest, her breath caught in her throat as she sat up quickly, stirring the person beside her. Yui's eye twitched madly when she noticed that his upper body was unclothed.

"Aaah! Wake up wake up!!! Wah! It's you!!" Her voice was an erratic whisper, aqua eyes beginning to water. Yui finally took the time to notice that the person beside her was a man, not any guy either; it was that amber eyed slayer. She almost decided to slap her face for thinking fleetingly that he appeared angelic when she took a momentary pause at his face.

"Da…" Chichiri's arms wrapped themselves around Yui's waist again, his face snuggling against her slip-clad belly. Yui shuddered when soft dark blue bangs tickled the skin her shirt revealed when it hiked up, heat curling in her belly like waves. "Eh…"

Annoyance crept up again, causing her to fling herself backwards, tumbling off the bed and onto the cold steel floor. "Owies…"

"Huh, no da? What's going on? F*** my head hurts! Argh damn hangover!!" A deep groggy voice spoke, Yui's body froze, tense with anticipation. Slowly, the silver haired teen inched towards underneath the bed, hoping to hide from upcoming embarrassment.

Chichiri yawned; ignoring his pounding head then stretched his taut muscles. He rubbed his face in his hands wearily, blinking out the sleep in his eyes. "Huh?" He felt soft fabric gliding across his lap mysteriously; the blue haired slayer leaned over the edge of his bed. Confusion etched across his handsome face.

"What the heck no da? Why are my sheets going under my bed? Ugh…this must be a hell of a hangover." His hand grabbed a fistful of the bed sheets, halting all movement of the cloth. He let out another exclamation of surprise when Chichiri was drug over the bed, crashing onto the cold floor headfirst.

"Ah! No daaaa! What the fuck? Dammit come out now! Now is not the best time to cause a mysterious phenomenon!" Chichiri launched to his feet screaming at the bed, his headache getting worse.

The sheets insistently pulled, provoking the amber-eyed slayer to pull back. Chichiri pulled at the sheets harder, bracing his feet to the ground, he comically looked heavenwards as if asking why. "Come out monster no da!"

"WAAH!!!!" *Thud*

Something grabbed at his feet, high pitched shrieks filling his ears as he tumbled to the ground, being knocked over and slipping on the bed fabrics. His head bounced twice against the steel floor, making him even dizzier and start to see stars.

Suddenly a light force pressed on his chest, and heard the 'force' screeching his ears out with obscenities and threats. The stars finally fading, Chichiri surprisingly saw that young silver blue haired swordswoman on top of him with aqua eyes promising death. "Uh…no da…?"

Yui's eyebrow twitched, her long pale bangs straying across her face, she shrieked angrily in agitation. "IS NO DA ALL YOU CAN SAY?!!"

"Ack!" Her small slender hands wrapped around his throat, efficiently halting all thoughts of air. "You MONSTER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?" She banged his head once against the floor, "TELL ME!"

"Uh…can you please stop all the screaming mommy…it makes head hurt no da…" Chichiri's face was turning purple, and the headache cracking down his skull wasn't making it feel any better.

"Oh mommy it hurts, oh no oh no!" Yui squabbled out, getting ready to pound his head to the ground again.

"Will you shuttup please, no da?" Chichiri asked, his large hands closing around Yui's small straining ones. His face softened, lips upturning into a suggesting smile and he sat up easily, as if Yui's weight was never hindering him. His head still hurt, but only to a slight ache now.

Yui growled challengingly, "Make me."

Chichiri smirked, and then tightened his grip on her hands, "Very well."

All of a sudden things went whirling in Yui's eyes as Chichiri pulled her hands away from his neck and pressed his lips against hers tightly. The amber-eyed slayer brought Yui's hands behind her back as he let his body mold to hers liquidly.

Hesitantly, Yui responded and relaxed in his arms and Chichiri loosened his grip.

The reaction Yui was expecting.

Wrapping her legs around the blue-haired slayer's waist, she clamped her limbs inwards, squeezing his midsection.

With a gasp, Chichiri pulled away quickly, "Ack! What are you doing, no da?"

Yui grinned maliciously, "Payback's a bitch isn't it?"

Chichiri's shouts of mercy and pain rang comically through the walls, entering the halls.

********

Hikou ear's perked, "Did you hear that Touya?" He continued to stuff his necessities into his travel bag. I was hoping not to have to use this bag again for a while…oh well.

Touya shrugged, "I dunno, am I supposed to?" Flopping onto his bed, his bags were neatly stacked beside the bedpost.

Green eyes looked skeptical, "I think I heard it coming from Yui's room. Let's go check it out." Packing the last item in the bag, Hikou turned and walked out of their room.

"Oi…" Touya reluctantly picked himself up and followed.

******

"Eh…" Hikou and Touya blinked simultaneously, gazing in shock at the scene before them. Touya's face flushed slightly in embarrassment for intruding, but Hikou had a sly smirk.

It was not the most compromising position to be intruded upon, thought Yui. Her arms were wrapped tightly around Chichiri's neck, and her legs had his waist in a death grip. Chichiri was lying on top of Yui; his hands close to the sides of her under arms and his legs were sprawled uselessly.

"It's not what you think!" Yui exclaimed, immediately letting her vise like grip loosen and push Chichiri off of her.

"Suuure…" Hikou said slyly, with Touya grinning widely with pink cheeks. "Then care to tell me?"

Yui pointed at Chichiri accusingly, "It's all his fault! He somehow ended up in my room and sleeping in my bed! I don't know how he got there!"

Chichiri sighed, "Must I repeat myself, no da? I told you! I was drunk and I mistook my room for yours!"

"But my room is four rooms away from yours!" Yui shouted.

"All the doors looked the same at the time!" Chichiri said angrily, running his hand through his bangs, his dark blue hair had come loose from the small ponytail at the nape of his neck.

Yui suddenly screeched indignantly, frustrated and angry beyond believe she could hardly formulate words. "Y…you stupid idiot! I'm out of here!" She stormed out of the room in a huff, leaving Chichiri, Hikou, and Touya alone.

"Um…she must have forgot it was morning, otherwise she wouldn't have just left in her pajamas!" Hikou joked, trying to lighten Chichiri's foreboding dark mood.

"This is her room, why'd the hell she leave it?! Urgh! Women are so frustrating!" The blue-haired slayer stated then walked out of Yui's room towards his.

"Well they're going to have a wonderful relationship in the future aren't they?" Hikou joked again.

"Yea…just like an old married couple." Touya smirked wryly.
