"Ahhhh..." Fairy Knight Gawain, or Barghest, gives a soft sigh as she fiddles with the hem of her long skirt of her beautiful white fancy dress she is wearing while she is at the Lion King's gala that night. There is a V-cut shape on her left side, exposing her thick leg and glossy white high heel. Her big breasts look like they are ready to pop out, but rest assured, Artoria Lancer's tailor did the measurements perfectly. Barghest still isn't so sure about it. "I'm a knight and I go to some kind of fancy ball?"

It's not like she doesn't like going. It doesn't fit her standards as the Knight of the Round Table. But Morgan Le Fay insisted, as well as the other Fairy Knights to go. Barghest lets out another sigh, holding her forearm, making her large breasts stand out even more just from her arm under them.

"Ara, is someone feeling down~?" A mature, motherly voice calls from behind the big, Fairy Knight.

The blonde woman turns to see Minamoto No Raikou wearing a purple long dress with purple thigh high stockings underneath the long skirt. She looks very beautiful tonight because she has a hint of make-up on her face.

"Raikou..." Barghest looks up and down at the motherly servant's appearance. "Oh, goodness. You look...dazzling..."

"Ufufu! I could say the same for you, as you are just another Mommy, am I right~?" Raikou giggles as she cups a hand to her cheek.

Barghest blushes cutely. "W-well, I...I am not used to being called a mother...even to this day..."

"Well, well~" Raikou struts toward the taller woman. "You look and sound like a Mommy, but that's because you have your second form and Master wanted it to stay that way. And quite frankly, I love this side of you, too~"

"I, um, thanks..." Barghest says softly.

There is a few minutes of silence before Raikou speaks up again.

"Do you have a partner yet~?" Raikou asks with a cute head tilt.

"Wha!?" Barghest blushes again and shakes her head while waving her hands. "N-no! I mean, I was waiting for someone but-!"

Raikou gives a beautiful smile as she gently takes Barghest's hand. "Then, shall we dance together for the time being? I do not have a partner either~"

"Ummm..." Barghest is quite surprised that Raikou of all people are asking her to be her partner. Is she planning something?

"Ufufu! I won't force you~" Raikou says, giving Barghest's hand a gentle squeeze. "But I have my own reasons as to why I chose you to be my partner~"

Barghest blushes again and then gently squeezes the violet haired woman's hand. "O-okay. Let's go..."

Raikou smiles and nods in reply. Both of the gorgeous women get to the center of the dance floor and start taking each other's hand and then Barghest wraps an arm around Raikou's slender waist. Both of them start to sway this way and that, their long skirts and hair fluttering at every movement. Barghest twirls Raikou once and then both face each other again. They find themselves gazing into each other's eyes, as if they are already falling in love with one another. Barghest's face is the most red and tries to turn away, but Raikou shakes her head and gently caresses the blonde's cheek. She encourages the bigger woman to keep on going, so she does. Barghest tries her hardest to try and not step on Raikou's foot while they are waltzing. Raikou seems just fine, so there are no worries. The two dance for another 30 minutes before stopping and leave the dance floor.

But Raikou is on her way outside, which makes Barghest follow. What is she up to exactly? She has to know. She fast walks to catch up to Raikou until they step foot outside, under the pale moon light. Both of them look up at the clear night sky and then turn toward each other. Barghest blushes at the magnificent beauty of the swordswoman, even under the moon light.

"Barghest-san~" Raikou says softly as she takes the blonde's hands in her own. "I was doing this because I wanted to apologize for the other day."

"The other day?" Barghest raises an eyebrow.

"I mean...how's your jaw?" Raikou asks.

"Oh that," Barghest says. "Master helped me heal it. No worries."

"Oh thank goodness," Raikou sighs in relief. "Ufufu! So yes, Barghest-san. I want to apologize for hurting you like that."

"N-no," Barghest says. "It was my fault to begin with. I started that fight in the first place. I kind of deserved to be punched like that." She slightly looks away with a blush. "And besides...well...um..."

"Yes~?" Raikou encourages.

"I must admit..." Barghest says softly. "You are...more of a mother than I am. I apologize for doubting you..."

"Awwww, you're so sweet, Barghest-san~" Raikou says.

There is a pause before Barghest turns to Raikou again. She is just...so beautiful it's difficult to resist her. So difficult that in fact...

"Raikou..." Barghest suddenly gently cups both of the violet haired woman's cheeks and leans close.

Raikou gasps in surprise, not able to say anything for a moment. But then, Barghest leans in and kisses her on the lips. Raikou's violet eyes widen in surprise. She is being kissed by the Knight of the Round Table. Only just briefly though. When Barghest pulls away, she can see the surprised face on Raikou, making the big woman blush furiously and turn away to bury her face in her hands.

"Ohhhhh, no!" Barghest whines. "Why did I do that!? I got so carried away!"

"You just..." Raikou raises a hand to touch her lips with two fingers. "Barghest-san...you love me...?"

"F-forget everything!" Barghest says. "I just wanna crawl in a hole right now!"

Raikou just smiles and then giggles. She never knew Barghest can be this adorable.
