Disclaimer: I don't own Vandread I just own my characters.

Suddenly the Vandread splits and Kagen's Vanguard spins out of control toward the Nirvana. Camina says, "What happened? Kagen!" She attaches a tow line to Kagen's Vanguard and tows it back to the Nirvana's Vanguard bay. Then his Vanguard is automatically docked and Duero arrives at the cockpit with a stretcher and catches Kagen as the cockpit opens and dumps Kagen out onto the stretcher.

Later in the medical ward

Duero notices that Kagen is awake and says, "I told you that you weren't well enough to pilot the Vanguard much less a Vandread. Now you'll just have to stay here while you heal." Camina comes in and sees that Kagen is awake so she runs over and hugs him and says, "Don't you ever do that again!" Then on impulse kisses him passionately on the lips, then she slaps him and storms out of the room. Kagen says after a moment of being dazed and confused, "I guess I'll never understand women." Duero laughs at that and says, "I doubt any of us guys ever will." Kagen tries to laugh but she bruised his ribs when she hugged him so he settled with a slight chuckle. Duero asks, "What's wrong? Are your ribs hurting you?" Kagen says, "Yeah, they hurt a little, Doc. She almost crushed me with that hug. Now I remember! She was my babysitter." Duero asks, "What is a babysitter?" Kagen laughs and says, "A person that watches a child for the parents but is not a parent." Duero says, "Oh, kind of like Pyoro." Kagen looks confused so Duero explains. "Well pyoro was a navigation robot before the male and female ships merged but he now watches Kalua, Ezra's baby." Kagen says, "Oh ok. I think I'll take a nap."

Meanwhile in the lounge

Camina is being flirted with by some men from Tarak that volunteered for the experiment aboard the Nirvana. One man says, "I like the color of her eyes. They are a nice shade of jade." Camina blushes as another man says, "I like her hair. The shade of black reminds me of the freedom of space. Camina blushes further as yet another man says, "I like the way she dresses. Very conservative, unlike the other women around here." Jura walks in hears this statement and says, "And what may I ask is wrong with the way I dress?" The first two men say, "Nothing at all." Then they leave as the third one says, "I don't have respect for women who dress like that." As he says it he pokes her in the chest to make his point. One thing was wrong with that, he poked her in the left boob. Her face turned red and she backhanded him so hard he flew across the room and hit the wall. "Come on Mina we don't have to stand here and be insulted." She says as she leaves the room. Camina says, "My name is not Mina, it's Camina." Jura runs back to her room and starts to go through her closet saying, "If he wants conservative, I'll give him conservative. Now where did I put it? Oh, here it is!" She quickly changes into the outfit and orders some more like it. Then she leaves the room and halfway runs into Camina. Jura says, "Hi, Mina. Where are you going?" Camina says, "My name is not Mina, it is Camina!" Then she starts to cry and runs to her new room. Then a comm. window opens, it's Kagen he says, "Hey Camina, why are you crying?" Camina says, "I told you to call me Mina. Now everyone is calling me that! Well I'm sick of it. Is Duero there?" Kagen says, "No, I'm the only one here, Parfait dragged Duero away for something. That's why I called. I don't know anyone else on this ship. And Mina…" Camina says, "Yes?" "I don't know how to say this… I… I…I can't say it. It sticks in my mouth when I try to say it. Oh, I give up!" suddenly the comm. link is cut and Camina says, "I wonder what he was trying to say?" The comm. link opens and Kagen says, "I liked the kiss by the way." Then he cut the link so that she couldn't say anything. Camina says, "I am going to go slap him." She leaves the room and stops at the lounge on the way and listens in on the conversation between Jura and the guy that insulted her before. Jura says, "How does this look?" as she shows off the dress the covers most of her skin. The man says, "So you finally decided to get some self respect I see. I might just consider it now. But you have to stop trying to seduce every guy on the ship. And if you really want to make a baby with me then we have to be in a relationship, which means no dumping me after the baby is born." Jura says, "Barnette is not going to be happy with this." Camina walks on laughing to herself about the thought of Jura changing her ways and the thought of how mad Barnette is going to be. She forgot why she went to the sickbay until she got there. Kagen braced himself for a slap when she got near but instead she kissed him passionately again and said, "I enjoyed it too." Then she walked out of the sick bay leaving Kagen speechless once again.

I never thought that I could write 6 chapters but I have. I should throw a party, but right now I'm broke. I wrote this in 2 hours at most.
