"Tsubaki, you're a girl right?"

Said weapon sighed in defeat and kissed goodbye her normal afternoon as it bungee jumped out the window.

"Thank you for noticing Black Star." She replied testily, once again trying to remind herself why she even bothered staying in the insane asylum.

"And you know you said you'd do anything for me?"

"If you're going to suggest painting half of Kid's house orange again-"

"No!" the ninja was on his feet now, his arms flailing wildly above his head in protest against her perfectly valid accusations, "this time I'm being serious. I need you to help me Tsubaki."

She blinked a few times and wondered if she'd accidently taking her meister's ADHD pills.

"What for?" Black Star sighed and sat down once again at the breakfast bar and gave her the most serious expression she'd ever seen, she was so stunned by the sudden change in demeanour she barely register the next few words to leave his mouth.

"I need to borrow your uterus."

"You-I…my" she took a deep breath, "what?!"

"Your uterus."

"I heard you the first time but why!?" Not that this was the strangest thing the ninja had come out with but she was rather attached to her internal organs.

"Tsubaki you love me right?" she blushed slightly before inclining her head, still stunned into silence by this unexpected turn of events, "and you want us to be happy…right?" she nodded again, "well I don't see what the problem is!" he slapped the table and laughed, Tsubaki resisted the urge to throttle him.

"I…my uterus is not for your…your whims!" insisted the horrified, and slightly nauseated, weapon.

"My what?"

"How would you like it if I asked to borrow your genitalia?!" Black Star smirked slightly.

"Well actually-"

"No! Oh god so much no." Tsubaki floundered slightly, waving her arms in front of her face as if she might develop the ability to wipe that memory from all plains of existence.

"I don't see what the problem is…I'm giving it back. I said borrow." He emphasized the word with two air quotation marks, unintentionally imitating his arch rival to a scary level.

"I don't care if you said 'donate to starving Amazonian chipmunks' my uterus is not for…squandering!"

"They have starving chipmunks in Amazonia?"

Tsubaki slapped her palm to her forehead and instantly regretted adding to the killer migraine.

"The chipmunks were an analogy Black Star," she may have well been speaking fluent Turkish for all the good it was doing her.

"So the starving chipmunks are from Analogy?"

"Forget the chipmunks!"

"But the chipmunks are-"

"Stop saying chipmunk!" Black Star looked completely bewildered, as if Soul had just shown up at his house doing naked ballet.

"But-"

"Never mind!" She seethed, before taking a few calming breaths, desperately trying to remain as composed as possible.

"So can I have your ovaries then?"

"wha- NO!" she was going to snap, this was the day and she could see it coming…damn Liz would win her 10 bucks…

"…womb?"

"Are you planning some sort of gender change without telling me?!" the smile on Black Star's face made Tsubaki almost inhale her own tongue, "You are?!"

"Of course not!" he replied snippily, "I just don't see what the big deal is…it's only 9 months."

"9 months?! Why on earth would you…" sudden realisation dawned and Tsubaki's skin tone now matched spirit's hair, "Oh."

"Yeah."

"…wanna borrow my uterus?"
