Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Samurai Deeper Kyo, not the characters, not anything.. Except my idea.. So there!!! You can't take my pride I tells ya!! NOT MY PRIDE!!

I got more reviews!! YAY!! (does a happy dance)

Thanks to:

Tigeris Kitty: Ooooh, they're polished.. (rubs the blade and cuts herself) It hurts so much but it's all worth it… (rubs the blade more) Oh and Kyo says, he fears no man, not even the doughboy. He says he will torture the dough man within an inch of his life, by having at least fifty little children poking him in the stomach.

Thistlemarie: Oooh, you have given me such the idea. (thinks evil thoughts for the enslavement of Kyo) And thanks for liking my crappy fight scene! (beams)

Yuya: Oh but don't you understand, hun? I'm lazy….(whiney voice) My puny little brain is unable to function after two paragraphs….then I begin to write crap….(whiney complainy voice)

Scarlet Moonlight: WOOHOO!! YAY!! GO ME!!! (cheers herself on) WOOHOO!!! And the crowd goes wild. . . (floats away)

Yuki Haitani: Thanks for loving my crappy fight scene!! (beams happily) I could just float away again… (floats away again)

Eirah: Ooh Ooh!! (bounces up an down happily) I couldn't remember the name of Kyo's muramasa… and you gave it to me!! I am ever so happy now!!! I feel power tingling beneath my fingertips, I can now control Kyo with every ounce of my being!! (laughs maniacally) I now know the name of his Muramasa and it is known as Tenryou!! YAYAY!!! Err, sorry about that. . Got a bit carried away.

Recap: Kyo fought Akira and fell down. Yuya steps in and burns Akira while he split's the ground. Akira flees while Yukimura and Benitora are stuck on their knees.

Yuya only has one muramasa, I just say muramasas because I lack writing skills. Two daggers= One muramasa. There we go. Now that's all settled. (nods her head)

Venus vs. Ares

Chapter 7: Bath Time Blues

" You are near to the dark…

I will tell you about the sun…

You are here no escape from

My visions of the world…"

Yuya sat leisurely upon the forest floor, sharpening her daggers. With each brush, a spark of energy would fly into the air momentarily illuminating the area around her. Clashing the two steel blades against each other she reveled in the hidden power that would simultaneously erupt from the muramasas.

Kyo sat on the far side of her, occasionally glancing at her. Though his face didn't reveal it, he was thoroughly intrigued on how Yuya had grown so strong in such a limited amount of time. Of course, some of the power could be contributed to the fact that she was now an owner of a muramasa. But besides that, her skill in wielding her katanas and controlling talisman energy had increased dramatically. He had always known that she had some strength considering she was a respected bounty hunter but he had never thought that she would actually be able to meet up to their level. Not his, of course, he was the slayer of a thousand men. But she could at least rival Benitora. He had to admit, it was funny as hell to see Akira get his ass kicked by someone he had always figured to be weak or a simple distraction. Well she definitely showed him just how weak she was.

Kyo smirked inwardly and stared blankly over at Yuya, who had just finished sharpening her daggers.

" Miss Yuya?"

Yuya turned slightly, her eyes falling upon Yukimura's grinning façade.

" Yes Yukimura?"

Yukimura sat down gracefully next to her, his eyes grazing across her muramasas.

" May I ask you a question?"

Yuya nodded her head in silent affirmation. Yukimura's grin widened.

" Just how did you come across your muramasa?.."

Yuya glanced up at him, her emerald eyes sparkling indifferently.

" Found them, in a cave."

Yukimura smirked at her and held out his hand.

" May I see them."

Yuya's eyes narrowed slightly, but handed them over to Yukimura. She didn't like anyone else touching what was hers. For some reason she couldn't stand to be far away from her muramasas. It was like an obsession, every now and then she would have to brush her fingers across the blade just to feel the tingle of power, the rush of adrenaline that would course through her spine. It was highly addicting, she finally understood Kyo's obsession with his own Tenryou and why he always had it close to him, not just for protection but for his own need to satisfy his urges for power.

" Yes, okay."

Yukimura carefully examined the dagger's hilt, noticing the carefully carved engravings around it.

" These are Western Symbols.." he trailed off.

Migeiria's head snapped up slightly, his eyes glancing around frantically.

Benitora, who was oblivious to Migeiria's sudden mood change, stared over at him.

" Hey Migeiria? Aren't you from the West? How did you happen to overlook---…?…"

Migeira suddenly stood up with a huge swoosh.

" I need to….uh….bye."

Migeira sped off into the woods, his ragged coat billowing behind him.

Kyo arched an eyebrow and stared after him nonchalantly, his interest peaked.

' He has something to do with this…..'

Yuya sighed to herself, and got to her feet.

" May I have my muramasa back now please?" she asked politely.

Yukimura smiled and handed her daggers back to her.

" There you go Miss Yuya, they are gorgeous."

Yuya smiled back at him.

" I know.."

Yuya started to walk off into the forest.

" Where do you think you're going woman?"

Yuya glared over at Kyo.

" Well if you don't mind, I was thinking I'd go take a bath. Is that a problem with you?"

Kyo stared at her.

" Yes, you must ask your master before you do anything… You should know that by now. "

Yuya scoffed and walked over to him, her hands fisted at her side.

" Well then… MASTER…. Can I go to the hot springs to bathe myself?"

Kyo tilted his head to the side, sipping sake.

" I don't know, can you?"

Yuya gritted her teeth and hissed at him.

" Fine then, MAY I got the hot springs to bathe myself?"

Kyo waved his freehand nonchalantly.

" Fine, but be quick about it. You already made us fall behind with your being captured. "

Yuya twirled around on her heel and stormed away, muttering under her breath.

Benitora shook his head at Kyo.

" You should stop messing with her like that.."

Kyo shrugged and took another sip of his sake.

" Keeps her in line." he muttered.

Benitora stood and began to walk in the direction Yuya had stormed off in. Yukimura arched an eyebrow, while flashing a blinding grin.

" And what are you doing Benitora?"

Benitora grinned back at him.

" I'm going to check up on Miss Yuya… You know to keep her safe while she's vulnerable…"

Kyo opened his eyes a smidget.

" Oh so this doesn't have anything to do with her being naked?"

Benitora placed a hand over his heart.

" It's the sacrifice I must make…" he spoke tearfully and then rushed out after Yuya.

Yukimura settled his head back against the tree behind him.

" 5... 4... 3. … 2.….1..."

A loud scream elevated through out the forest and a huge crashing noise followed. Seconds after, Benitora came flying through the trees, a wooden watering bucket on his head. He smashed into a tree and fell down unconscious with a bar of soap in his mouth.

" HENTAI!!!"

Yuya stood looking infuriated, her blond strands of wet hair plastered to her forehead. Around her body was a small white towel that only down to her upper thighs. In her right hand she held one of her katanas loosely.

Kyo raised an eyebrow at her and glanced over her. Yuya glared at all of them and stormed away again. Her towel gently swaying in the breeze.

Sorry I got lazy again… So this chapter is short. I just wanted to update.
