"You...want me to dominate you?" Kazuma said. He picked a piece of lint off her shoulder, dusting her jacket, carefully. "Because I could," he said. His eyes flicked upwards, meeting hers. "If you want me to."
Bishamon laughed. "Kazuma. No offense, but I'm a god. There's no way you could dominate me. I'm stronger than you."
"There are other ways to subjugate a god." Kazuma looked at her, calmly. "If we're going to do this, Veena, we need to establish some boundaries. I don't want to hurt you. And I'll need to know when you want me to stop."
"You seem pretty sure of yourself if you think I'd need a safeword," Bishamon said. "Alright. For sake of argument, let's say my safeword is 'Yatogami.' Because like hell I'd be screaming that bastard's name otherwise."
"Veena," Kazuma said. "I need you to take this seriously."
"I am taking this seriously, Kazuma. So you stop if I yell 'Yatogami.' Because only another war god can subjugate me." She grinned. "And it's been centuries since another god has overpowered me."
He took a step closer. "Need I remind you, Veena," Kazuma said in a low voice, and he brushed back a strand of her hair. "That is only because of my guidance."
"Ha."
"Tonight," he said. She felt her heart beat just a touch faster.

"Yato I need you to teach me bondage knots," Kazuma said.
"Eh?" Yato said.
They were standing on Kofuku's porch, but Kazuma looked more frantic and harried than usual. "Why?" Yato said. "Who the hell are ya gonna tie up?"
"N-no one." Kazuma's face turned red. "I just...I need to know, Yato."
"Why?" Yato said.
"Because," Kazuma started, and he reddened. "Because, er, well..."
Yato's eyes widened.
"YOU'RE GONNA TIE UP THAT SKANK!"
"Y-Yato!"
"Oh man, Kazuma! I knew you were a hentai hafuri before, but now-"
"Yato, please, not so loud!"
(Later, after much pleading and cajoling from Kazuma, Yato finally relented, on the condition that Kazuma keep his hentai hafuri sex life to himself.)
