Struck dumb I merely sat there on my bed, a wild blush breaking across my face as I think of some images that I really shouldn't be thinking of, yet here they pop up. Running my fingers through my hair I can't even look at their faces, I mean I know that they talked about it but it's such a…well…I'm still absolutely shocked. When I finally manage to look up at them, they're sharing a look which could only mean that they've figured out that I'm really not sure on the idea. I mean I am, I want to but it's really soon and well, I've never had any experience in things like that. I wouldn't know what to do!

Choosing to wind my fingers in my soft satin duvet instead of ragging my hair out, I seem to be comforted by the relaxing feel of the material on my skin. What startles me from this calm reverie is Dei-Dei's aqua eyes popping up in front of my face literally millimeters away, it sends me sprawling backwards onto the bed in a vien attempt to escape getting whacked on the nose by his chin as he moves away.

"So that's a no un?" Dei-Dei grumbles, turning to go and beckoning to Zetzu to follow him

"Wait!" I cry, so they both turn around with shocked expressions on their faces, it's almost as if they expected me to say no, deciding against my better gut feeling I take a deep breath trying to steady my tremoring heart for a minute, to stutter out.

"You're not seriously saying yes are you? SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Zetzu yelps

"Well, I would like to. I just, need to get myself hyped up for it, like prepare for it."

"You're, you're serious un?" Dei-Dei whispers, shocked that I actually agreed but I can hear a slight husky tone to his voice

"Yes, I'm serious." I sigh, hoping that I don't decide to go back on my word, I mean I'm so nervous and it's not even that big a deal, or is it? For a while I just lie on my bed trying to get the mental images out of my mind long enough to have a decent conversation with someone.

"Uh, fuck. Well that's awesome; we really didn't expect you to say yes un."

"Same here don't get us wrong we're real glad you said yes. Like you I think I need some time to let this settle in. Don't think just because you said yes today that you can't say no tomorrow or whenever we decide to do this – WHAT DID I SAY? SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU'LL TALK HER OUT OF IT AND THEN WHERE WILL WE BE?" Zetzu cries, I smile lightly when he has a little mini argument with himself, I look at Dei-Dei with a faint blush still on my cheeks.

Dei-Dei sits next to me on the bed, sliding closer to me as the bed dents underneath him. He places an arm around my shoulders, giving them a re-assuring squeeze as he stares deeply into my eyes as if to reiterate what Zetzu kind of just said. Feeling a little better about the whole ordeal, I instead focus on the feelings that I feel for these guys in order to get me 'in the zone' but as hard as I try it's just not working while they're around. The guys seem to pick up on this, but not taking the hint to leave Zetzu also sits down on the opposite side of me. An uncomfortable feeling of claustrophobia begins, so I shuffle slightly backwards so that empty space surrounds me on all sides.

"I hate to be the one to cheapen this moment, but if we aren't doing it now when are we doing it?" I ask, looking at the dried blood underneath my fingers which confuses me a little because I don't know how it got there.

"I don't know, I guess whenever is good for you. I'm free all of the time." Zetzu smiles "OH GREAT JUST MAKE US SEEM LIKE A LOSER! Stop it; I'm getting sick of you talking all of the time just because you want to make us seem more masculine." Zetzu argues almost slapping himself in the face, but he stops when he realises that he's about to whack me in the face with his elbow.

"How about you Dei-Dei? When are you free?" I smile

"I'm not really that busy, I've got to go and make some more clay bombs but they come second to you, everything comes second to you un."

"Will you stop being such a smooth talker?" Zetzu growls standing up suddenly and squaring himself off to Dei-Dei

"Hey, will you just leave it alone Zetzu. It's fine." I grin, secretly enjoying the attention that I'm receiving

Dei-Dei takes off so he can go and make his clay bombs, the 'event' scheduled for tomorrow night, giving me a slight wink as he walks out much to Zetzu's annoyance. His blonde hair flipping behind him narrowly escaping being caught in the door as he silently closes it behind him. Zetzu opted to stay here with me and watch a couple of films, as I root through the cupboard of video's and DVD's and even a few Blu-Rays in there. Eventually I pull out a few choices for Zetzu to pick from, as soon as I picked them up they're scattered all over the floor. Hands loosened by the shock of what my eyes are taking in.

Zetzu is laying spread out over my bed, in his underwear. IN HIS UNDERWEAR! I can't help but take a peek through my closed fingers at his chest, which is surprisingly chiselled but not like he's been chowing down on a diet of eggs and protein shakes for the past three years. A nice chiselled chest, just the type I like. For about the millionth time today I beetroot blush erupts across my cheeks, even my ears are privy to it this time, they radiate the heat from my burning face. Still peering through the gaps in my hands I see that he's looking at me with an evil smirk on his face, this different Zetzu is so…different. In a good way, the look he's giving me sends chills down my spine but he welcomes me into his chest with his usual warm friendly way.

"Zetzu, what are you wearing?" I stutter as I place a random DVD I'm not even looking at in the player, I guess its lucky dip tonight as to what we're watching

"My underwear, that's what you're blushing about isn't it?" He laughs as I curl up underneath the covers to avoid being untoward to him, I mean apart from the overwhelming desire to snuggle up to him, it wouldn't be fair to Dei-Dei.

"Yes, that is what I'm blushing about but I was more angling at why you are in your underwear?"

"Because it's comfortable, and if I'm going to sleep I don't want to wear my uniform it's very uncomfortable and it gets a little toasty in there. To tell the truth I'm pretty hot already."

"O.K. Zetzu this is freaking me out." I stammer, sitting up suddenly in my bed and glaring at him

"I'm sorry Abi-kawaii, but I'm going to be…well you know tomorrow night I just thought I'd get you used to it because I can be a bit of a shock." Zetzu blushes trying to focus his attention on the credits rolling up the screen, it turns out I picked Interview with the Vampire, which may be a bad thing because I normally start drooling over Lestat about half an hour into the film.

"Why? Just because you're black and white?" I ask, a little confused as I settle back down onto my feather pillows put instead of my head sinking into soft feathers it rests on a muscle bound arm as Zetzu swiftly holds it out to catch my falling head.

"No, not just because of that. It's been happening already as you might have noticed."

"You keep going black more often?"

"Yes, it's going to be awfully hard to control tomorrow so I just wanted to get you used to it. I guess if he creeps you out that much I'll try to control him but I'm giving you no promises. If you've changed your mind then I totally understand."

"No its fine Zetzu don't stress about it, I'm sure it'll be great."

I smile as I finally feel able to relax into him, laying my head on his chest so he plays with my hair as he tries to keep up his confidence as he hears me keep going on and on about Lestat and Louis until I think I saw some blood come out of his ears. For the first time since I got here I can safely say that I can not hear a sound in the base, wait, that's odd, there's normally some sort of obscene fight going on or at least someone practicing sparring on each other yet there's nothing. Putting all this down to the fact that they've all gone to bed with a substantial hangover I turn my gaze back to the TV screen which blurs as my tired eyes try to focus on it.

"You know what I think you have to go to sleep now, you have a big day tomorrow."

He gently kisses my cheek and he lies himself down on the pillow so my head is violently jerked backwards so that it thuds back onto his chest yet again leaving a red mark on the white side and a darker black mark on the black side. I hope that doesn't bruise. Shuffling back under the covers I smile as my eyes close and the feeling of sleep over whelms me and I drift off thinking about the events of tomorrow and the consequences of them. Wishing that tomorrow would hurry up and become today I shuffle for about 15 minutes hoping that I can get to sleep. In these restless few minutes it's the first time since I agreed to go through with Dei-Dei's and Zetzu's ideas that I think about Hidan, for a millisecond before he vanishes from my mind in a puff of black smoke which turns into a red haze and many more images of a more…explicit nature…seep in.

What will happen tomorrow? Will everything run smoothly? Or will Hidan get in the way?
