[Her chin goes to rest in her hand, not pleased at this announcement. Anyone but him.]

I mean, I guess you two are friends, and he's not gross or anything, maybe. [She sounds annoyed, there's no doubt- she'll deal with it, trying to keep in mind they were all shifted, but still. Him.]

[Saori swallows hard, barely suppressing a sob at the irritation in Yuuna's voice.]

We...he...I...

[She's at a loss for words, her whole body beginning to shake. She knew how her beloved felt...even if Yuuna wouldn't say it. She did like Vegeta, she trusted him, she even loved him in her own way. Not...like that, though. Not enough to share those moments together, beyond the odd hug. But she can pretty plainly remember the lust she'd felt, too. And how natural it'd seemed.]

[She can tell, Saori doesn't even have to say it. She knows the other woman feels bad, but that isn't stopping her from acting the way she is now.]

You had sex. Right?

Yes.

[And in a smaller voice...]

Twice...

[She's going to need a second. Twice. This really wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't that guy out of everyone in Luceti she could have slept with, even the succubus would have been better.]

[She's got to keep reminding herself that she has done the exact same thing to Saori with guys before, and it was a shift, but it's still hard because she just doesn't like this guy.]

Okay, well, do you like him then? I mean, I know you do but I didn't know you liked him that much.

I...like him. Sort of? I don't...love him that way. I...appreciate him. He's a good man, and my friend. But...maybe the kind I'd only want to hug?

[She lets out a sigh, her breathing ragged.]

I don't...want to do that with him again. He...is kind in that regard, but...he's not you. It was different, with him. But I don't love him that way.

You mean boyfriend, don't you? He's your boyfriend. I've had boyfriends too, it's okay, you don't have to be that upset about it.

[Even though Yuuna herself sounds a little upset.]

If you don't want to do that with him, you should probably break up with him before he gets the wrong idea.

[Saori squeaks and shakes her head, though tears do start falling now. Hearing that from Yuuna...it was...perhaps the most awful thing Yuuna'd ever said to her.]

No...he's not my boyfriend. He...never will be my boyfriend. He's...my friend, nothing more. Never anything more.

[She looks up, hands clasped together.]

Please, please believe me. I don't...want him. We just...it...I...he's not my boyfriend. He's married! And I...love you. I want to make love only with you. I want to marry you...

Saori, stop freaking out, it's okay. It was a shift, we had sex with Helios, it could have been worse.

[She doesn't want Saori to cry, because it's obvious she feels bad enough as it is. But there was a little satisfaction knowing she made Saori feel bad for having sex with that atrocity.] Sorry I called him your boyfriend, I just got a little angry. It's just because I don't like him very much. I love you too, I just don't like the idea of you and him together like that.

No...no no...it's not okay...

[She shakes her head, genuinely shaken about it now, realizing just how much Yuuna didn't like him. And needing to tell the whole story.]

He's...not my boyfriend, and I shouldn't have done those things with him once, let alone twice. It just...it was nice, feeling cared for like that by more than just you. I can't lie to you and say I didn't enjoy it. Even if...it was wrong.

I'm sorry that you...don't like it. And I swear on my soul I'd...never do it without a shift. But...it doesn't mean what I did was right. And it doesn't mean I haven't hurt you.

[She breathes out a heavy sigh, looking back at Saori from the bed.]

Saori, I forgive you, I know it's hard to deal with those shifts. I suffered too, remember? And he's not...so bad...I guess. If he's willing to be nice to you like that, then it's okay.

We have a little agreement anyway, you can go out and mess around a little bit, and so can I. He's the one in trouble with his wife, not you. I'll get over it Saori, stop worrying, okay? This won't mean anything in fifty years. I'll just get to tease you about it.

[Saori lets out a long, slow breath and looks up at Yuuna.]

He is nice to me, and he was very loving. Much nicer than the other man I was with. And I...know we have our agreement, and I know in even a few decades it'll be like it never happened. He...may even be dead then. [Which would make her very, very sad.]

But...when we...his wife is gone now. And...I think part of me just wanted him to stop hurting.

[Yuuna gives Saori a sad look, and not even Yuuna wouldn't wish it upon anyone to lose their loved one. She gets up, puts an arm around the goddess and holds her close.]

If he treated my Saori well and you did something to help him, then it's alright with me. He can have one pass from me, so you stop feeling bad about it. If the Malnosso are going to make us fall in love with random people then I'd rather it be with someone that I know who will take care of you than someone who is going to hurt you. Cheer up, see? I'm not mad.

[She kisses her forehead, smiling warmly back.]

[Saori rocks her head against Yuuna's chest, arms wrapping around her beloved kannushi, still feeling incredibly guilty. She didn't really want a pass for this, because it still wasn't what she wanted. She'd be the first to admit she liked Vegeta, but...wanting to bed him was not something that'd normally cross her mind. And, there's another bit of guilt there too.]

I...yes. But...I want to tell you...I...took him as a champion. Because he's strong, probably the strongest fighter in the enclosure. And if...if there's need for a fight, I'd rather send him than you.

[One hand goes up to her locket, holding it tight.]

And...I...mean for him to be a failsafe. He has a second shard of my mirror, now.

You really trust him that much?

[As much as she appreciates Saori thinking of her and not wanting her to have to fight if someone else could, that's a part of her mirror, and not just anyone gets to be named her champion.]

I do.

[She looks up, right into Yuuna's eyes.]

I trust him with my life. If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't have slept with him even if I was in love with him. He's a stubborn man, and he made me a promise. I know he'll fight to the death to keep that locket safe.

[She stands silent for a second, thinking, before she breaks it with a tighter hug and a kiss.]

If you really trust him that much, then I do too. But if he doesn't live up to his title, I'm going to do something to him that'll make him wish he never even met you. [It's partial teasing. But only partial.]

[Saori can't help but moan slightly into the kiss. She'd really, really missed that the past few days.]

I know you will. That's why you're my kannushi...and my fiance.

[She closes her eyes a moment and blushes.]

But...there's one more little thing. Something I'd like to ask you to do...something he showed me...when we were...together.

What's that? [Color her surprised. What else did that man do when they were together?]

[She blushes even more profusely.]

He...when we were...having sex. He'd...touch my locket. I...would like it if, when we...if you would...please...try that...

[She lets out a little gasp, shocked that she'd managed to even say it.]

That's very sacred, he touched it? How did he touch it? [She'd never even thought to do that, you don't just touch a god's mirror. But if Saori was asking? She taps her chin thoughtfully.]

No wonder you had such a good time, that must of really got you going, what a good idea.

[She smiles dreamily at the memory...]

Just...with his fingers. Very gently. And...he'd breathe on it. You know how nice it is when we do things to each other's wings, but the mirror...it's something completely different.

I bet, with that look on your face! Now I have to outdo him. But I can use the big mirror, he only had the little one. So it should be a lot more fun.

[Wow, the man was good for something. Now she can please Saori even better than she was before. Who would have thought.]

[Shivering, Saori nods.]

I...will let you. Stars, I never really even thought that might be something to try. [But, it's something nice that's come with experimentation, at least.]

And...I'm grateful...you don't find my asking strange.

Guys are tricky like that. They'll think of things that you'd never expect out of them. I don't find it strange at all. It's no different than what everyone else does, they have to find what works for them, yours just happens to be something very close and dear to you. It's more intimate, and far more supernatural, but it works just the same. And if you like it, then I don't want to deny that to you.

Plus, I like teasing you too, so that just gives me one more thing to work with.
