Feather Two: Sword Play

"Gods, hmm?"

The golden eyed one gently placed his cup of...something (whether is was tea or wine he wasn't sure; his trail of thoughts had wandered far from what he was drinking) on the table. He had thought that maybe, once he had reached death, he wouldn't be the same person he had been during life. Contrary to this believe, almost everything was very much the same. He was still as thin as a beanpole, unnaturally beautiful, and utterly obsessed with the man who was seated across from him. The exception was that he was no longer a king. Actually, he had graduated. He was a god.

“What compelled you to make that wish, I wonder?”

Yasha's voice was like molten butterscotch mixed with a deep husk and cleverness, and Ashura practically melted. It was truly very silly, but he had never heard the other king speak much. Its rather hard to form complete sentences when you are concentrating on trying to slice off someone's head and avoid hurting them altogether. Yet after countless nights of battles, they had come to understand each other to a degree. They were people with dreams and aspirations, and for one of them to do anything with less than full effort, it would be disrespectful to the other. It was almost a bond of kinship, of love, even if they would destroy the other person. They were both at a loss now that their mortal rivalry was relatively null and void in the afterlife.

“I don't know,” Ashura answered calmly, successfully concealing his thoughts as his eyes flickered to Yasha's face. His lips pulled into a witty yet diplomatic smile. “An ego trip, perhaps.”

Yasha-ou chuckled a bit, once again making warmth crawl down Ashura's spine. “And you traded our swords to the witch for this. It sounds like 'make love, not war'.” His tone was almost playful.

The choice of expression startled Ashura; his first instinct was to rebuke that statement while blushing like a child. He found himself laughing however, a real smile replacing the shock on his face.

“Sounds like a plan.”

Well, here's the second of many drabbles to come. I hope you liked it.

Squee! AshuraxYasha...sorta XD I appologize for the extremely OOCness. Their personalities are difficult.
