Tales of the Hagane Family

Chapter 8: Questions

"Hey Ginga?", Madoka asked while they laid on the couch enjoying a warm summer afternoon cuddling, a refreshing change after the horror that was the Nemesis War.

"Yeah?", he responded.

"What would you if I was a giantess?", she asked point blank, making him blink in confusion.

"That's…a really weird question, babe.", he said.

"Just answer it, will ya?", she pouted. He closed his eyes and pictured Madoka so giant that she could sit on the Earth and hold the moon in her hand. He opened his eyes and looked at her.

"I'd stand on your shoulder and give you kisses on your neck.", he replied. She giggled at his response and gave him a soft peck on the neck, which made him blush just the slightest bit.

"You'd also hide yourself in my panties if you were given the chance, I bet.", she teased, causing him to blush even more and turn away.

"Well, I uh…ahem, that is to say…yes.", he admitted. "I mean, they are really soft.", he said as he placed a hand gently on her skirt and ran it along the hem. Madoka grinned seductively and grabbed his hand.

"Sorry, but you're gonna need to answer more if you want more.", she said in her best 'sweet and innocent' voice. Ginga hated it when she used that voice, it drove him wild and always brought up images of her being a naughty schoolgirl.

"Alright, fine. Ask away.", he sighed.

"What would you do if I was three inches tall?", she asked.

"I'd keep you in my pocket and feed you nothing but cookie crumbs.", he replied.

"What would you do if I was hypnotized?", she asked.

"I'd kiss you and hope it breaks the spell.", he said.

'What would you do if I was turned to stone?", she asked.

"I'd go to hell and back to cure you.", he said.

"What would you do if I grew cat ears and a tail?", she asked.

"I'd dress you up and make you my personal maid.", he smirked.

"What if I broke Pegasus by mistake?", she asked.

"Ha, that would never happen!", he laughed.

"Thought I'd catch you off guard with that one.", she chuckled, "Fine, what would you do if I turned against you?", she asked.

"I'd fight with every fibre of my being to bring you back.", he said.

"What if I lost my soul?", she asked.

"I'd catch the creep who did it and tear them apart limb from limb to save you.", he said.

"How about if you saw me in my underwear?", she asked.

"I'd bleed to death out of my nose.", he said.

"Remind me to never take you clothes shopping again.", she sarcastically scoffed, "Where would you take me if you wanted us to have complete privacy?"

"Koma Village, of course.", he answered smugly. She frowned at this and racked her brain for a question that would stump him. She then snapped her fingers and pointed right in his face.

"What if I made you give up Beyblade?"

"W…what?", he stammered in disbelief. How could she ask him such a thing? She knew Beyblade was his passion, his whole life, his purpose for living, his world, his…

It suddenly dawned on him. It was her. She was the reason he had trained so hard to become the legendary hero the people now hailed him as.

"You wouldn't.", he said straight faced and serious. She then blinked and jerked her head back.

"What do you mean? How do you I know I wouldn't?", she demanded.

"Simple, Madoka.", he explained while cupping her left cheek in his hand and gazing deep into her beautiful blue eyes. "The only reason I've been able to make it this far is because of you. Knowing you were always by my side made it worth getting up from even the most gruelling battles, just so I could hold you, see your smile, and hear your voice on more time." Madoka's entire face was burning red by this point, her head struggling to find words to say in response to all this.

Ginga then took her by surprise and pulled her into a passionate kiss, crashing against her pillowy lips and locking them in an embrace with his arms. Madoka began to melt, her head swimming and heart fluttering. After several minutes he released her, and gently laid her back down on the couch.

"Ginga…", she began before he placed a single finger over her lips.

"Silence is golden, my love. Let's cherish it.", he said as he laid down and shifted her so that she was lying on top of him. He placed a hand on the small of her back and rubbed it in a soft, circular motion. She moaned softly at this, being one of her greatest weaknesses, and he lightly snickered before kissing her on the top of her head and settling down. Both of them closed their eyes and let the gentle breeze whisk them off to sleep.

A/N: Hey guys, I'm really sorry for making you all wait so long for this update. I've just been going through a lot of stress and anger lately with my sibling, it's been preventing me from getting into the zone to write these works. But now that he's gone, I can safely say I'll be updating more often. In fact, some hints for future chapters might be in this one, but I won't tell. This was an idea that popped into my head this evening, and I made it to tide you guys over until the next big update, which should be ready to go in a week. Until then, stay safe and let it rip!

And thank you for all your support and reviews! ;D
