Chapter Two: Inquisition

As the entirety of the group begins to exit the hangar and head off to their places to finish their preperations before leaving Jura decides to put them through her own personal gamut of questions. With that thought she jumps in front of the three new men and while landing her chest jiggles causing them to stare at her puzzled at what she wants and exactly what the use of those things are.

" Alright boys, listen to me. If one of you is going to be the… umm Duelo what's it called? Ya know the male that takes part in making the child…" She cocks her head to the side and looks around the men to see Duelo.

Duelo quirks a brow slightly as he scratches the side of his head and responds a little unsure. " Are you be thinking of the word father?"

Jura smiles and straightens her posture and looks at all the men as seductively as she can. " Yes, father. So if one of you is to be the father to my child. I need to pick the best one! So… hmm… first I want your ages, height, weight, favorite color…" The men's eyes widen in disbelief. As Barnette speaks out…

" Jura, is this necessary? I mean are you picking out vegetables or just in need of a man. Why don't you just pick one and be done with it?" after speaking Barnette places her hands on her hips and looks very bothered as she awaits Jura's response.

Jura just smiles while tosses her hair over her shoulder and looks at Barnette lovingly. " Now, Barnette, I love you and you know that. I just want to make sure my baby turns out perfect. The most amazing specimen of male and female child creation." So with that she quickly turns to the men and her eyes narrow a little and her tone becomes more demanding then persuading. " Now men… tell me!"

The men look around at each other confused as hell until Renz looks at Jukkai and shrugs. " You go first… then I'll go, and Alex, you can go last alright? Hopefully she'll be so bored or something after one or two guys that your turn would be least painful." Renz smirks as Alexei shrugs a bit and grins. " Ya that works. I'm still not comfortable around these women. This will be freakin weird." After all is said and done Jukkai steps forward and looks at Jura who seems to be holding a notepad now.

Bart notices the notepad and questions it. " Hey Jura… isn't that Paiway's notepad?" Right as the words left his mouth Jura nearly bites his head off in an almost barking manner replies.

" What's it to you? Mind your own business cue ball!" Bart slumps back and mumbles a bit as Jura glares at Jukkai. " You can start whenever you feel like it…"

Jukkai a bit taken aback, nervously looks around and then looks directly at Jura. " Umm the my name is Jukkai, I'm 23 years of age, I have O negative blood, I'm 5'8" 157lbs… umm… I like sushi and dumplings… green tea is my favorite drink… blue is a good color…"

Obviously struggling Renz cuts in. " Hey Jukkai! I think that's enough, why don't you come back so the rest of us can tell her highness what it is she wants to know." Said in an obviously sarcastic way.

As Jukkai turns to change places with Renz, Jura's eyes narrow and glare at Renz. " So you're a comedian? You enjoy defying your superiors?"

Renz quickly laughs and looks at her in a nonchalant way and replies. " Superior? What makes you superior? I mean just cause you're older then most of the crew and you can't shut your mouth doesn't make you superior… just loud and annoying." Grinning as he said that, he watches Jura's face become a very bright red as she losses her temper.

" OLD! Who are you calling old you jerk! I may be a little older but I'll have you know that Jukkai is older then I am. And…" she looks over to Dita, Meia and Barnette and asks in a softer curious tone. " Am I loud and annoying?"

Dita begins to blush as she looks around still holding up Hibiki on her shoulders. " Umm… w...well… y...you see Jura… umm…" Dita gives a pleading look towards Barnette and Meia for support as they kind of start looking around trying to get out of the situation. But, Meia looks to Dita and then over at Jura and sighs. " Jura, you do have a tendency to be very loud and bossy… and more often then not it becomes harder to tolerate your presence with every word you speak. And well…" Meia glances to Barnette as to tell her, you love her, you handle it.

Barnette receives the notion and grits her teeth and smiles nervously. " Yes Jura… it is a rather unbecoming trait that you have, but once people get to know you. You're not that abrasive… I mean… I acknowledge that you are difficult to tolerate, but I still love you. And we all appreciate what you do aboard the Nirvana but to people that don't know you… yes, I can see how they would think that." Barnette cringes a bit awaiting Jura's eruption. Yet, surprisingly it doesn't happen and Jura just looks down.

Alexei looks at Jura and then to Renz and whispers. " I really hope she doesn't kill you in your sleep for saying those things…" Renz nods and feels a small sweat drop run down the side of his head as he whispers back to Alexei. " You're not the only one…"

After a few moments of silence Jura looks up and glares at Renz. " No one… has ever said those things to me! Yet, you! A man, has the gall to insult me in front of friends and loved ones. You're straightforward… and you don't hold anything back. How dare you!" She steps closer towards Renz as his eyes stay affixed on her and everyone else awaits what will most likely be a momentous slap across his face.

Jura raises her hand as everyone closes their eyes, bracing themselves for the sound and impact about to meet Renz's face until they hear something else…

What they hear is not a smack, but a cough, followed by a spiting noise every once in a while followed by him wiping his mouth as he turns and glares at Jura.

" What was that? Some kind of female seal of doom! Am I on the verge of death?"

Jura smiles and licks her lips and grins. " Your lips taste wonderful…"

Barnette's eyes open very wide. " YOU KISSED HIM!" The pitch of her voice was enough to wake up Hibiki from his otherwise unconscious state along with opening the eyes of everyone else.

" Huh? Who died? What missed him? Are we under attack?" Dita smiles and giggles a little as she nuzzles Hibiki. " Nope Hibiki, Jura just kissed Renz.

Immediately after hearing that Hibiki busts into laughter. " Poor Renz… (laughs), Jura likes him… he's in a world of trouble." His laughter continues as the others just stare at each other not knowing what to say until Jukkai elbows Alexei in the side with a huge smirk on his face. " Well Renz was right, she found the one she wanted… so you don't even have to talk to her." Jukkai laughs a bit as Alexei lets out a sigh of relief and grins a bit. " Poor guy… who knew she wanted someone that wouldn't back down from her."

Jura continues to stand over top of Renz looking very confident and sexy, all the while he's trying to get her taste out of his mouth.

" Well Renzy wenzy, looks like you'll be the one to give me a child. It'll be a strong, confident, and very attractive child. So you better find out how to do it from Duelo soon, because I can hardly wait to have a little baby of my own." Spoken in a dreamy kind of way. All Renz can do is just looks up at her in a confused and kinda disgusted way.

" Urgh… don't go making decisions before I say it's ok. More stunts like that and I won't want to do anything with you far from throwing you off the deepest reaches of the cosmos… ugh… I'm gonna be sick…" Duelo walks over to his friend and smirks a bit.

"Renz… you have no idea what you are in store for. But we'll discuss that later… when your face isn't so green." Duelo help Renz up and takes him to the closest sick bay around as Jura runs over and hugs Barnette tightly.

" Oh Barnette… just imagine what it'll be like to have a child with a man, especially one like Renz." Jura's head is in the clouds and her voice sounds like it's there too as Barnette looks bewildered.

" Ya Jura, it'll be amazing… just amazing…" As Jura and Barnette are snuggling and Renz is walking off, Meia can't help but watch Duelo and Renz walk off towards the sick bay as she smirks and then her eyes widen, quickly followed by her shaking her head.

Hibiki and Dita see Meia's sudden odd reaction and creep over to her. They gently rest an arm on each of her shoulders and they asks. " Hey Meia… what's wrong with you?" In a very weird, curious way, even weirder cause it's in stereo from the both of them.

Meia looks at them both and shakes her head. " Nothing…" As soon as that's said she takes a step forward causing both Hibiki and Dita to lose their balance making them flail about and almost fall down. Meia then turns and looks them both straight in the eye and says rather plainly. " And I would like it please if you didn't pry." After that, she heads off in the direction of the sick bay area.

Seeing the way she's going Dita and Hibiki begin to scheme and giggle thinking they know something no one else does. But what could it be…?
