Naughty or Nice

Drabble by: Sarah Slutz

"Tien, can we get away for a while? I am so freaking bored of living out here in the boonies! I don't understand how you and Chautzu can bear it!"

Tenshinhan glanced over at his blond lover, just giving her a noncommittal grunt. He kept waiting for the inevitable sneeze that would drive her away from his life yet again, but she'd already stayed for a whole week and it hadn't happened yet.

It would, though, sooner or later. That was the problem with her, or perhaps, that's what attracted him to her in the first place.

With her, there were no mushy words, no commitment, no permanence. That's the way he preferred it. After all, he lived the life of a hermit with only Chautzu as company. Chikyuu had been in peace for five years now, but he'd never stopped training, never ceased bettering himself. It was basically, his existence.

Until she'd barged into his life, with her loud attitude, tight clothes and flashing eyes. Nothing had ever been the same. Then she would sneeze and would apologize for having intruded -intruded!- into their lives and would leave. Sometimes for days, sometimes months, and eventually she was gone for almost seven years.

He'd thought he would never see her again. He had tried to forget her, but had never really been able to… and now she was back again. But for how long?

"Tien, are you paying attention to me? I want to go to town, now!"

In spite of himself, he chuckled. Perhaps… perhaps only this time he would give in to her demands. After all, he didn't know how long she'd be around this time, when would be the next time she would appear, the next time he felt her voluptuous body beneath him.

"Ok, Lunch. Let's go."

Her startled expression made him chuckle again. So, she hadn't been expecting for him to agree, huh? Well, he did have some aces up his sleeve. He had to, to be able to keep up with his demented lover.

"Great, let's go!"

She strapped on her huge revolver to her slender back and smiled at him brilliantly. Taking his arm, she led him outside, grinning the whole time.

Tenshinhan found himself grinning too.
