Her flesh was on fire.
Her body twisted underneath his, her fingers clawing at his back and her voice belting out a symphony of pleasured sounds amidst the heavy breathing that she could not place which one of them was producing. In all likelihood, it was both of them. The sensations her body was generating were almost painful with their intensity, a tightness and heat in her neither-regions that pleaded desperately to be satisfied, driving her to fallow suit.

“Haji, Please,” she heard herself choke out, although even she didn’t know exactly what she was requesting.

“Please?” came the oddly calm voice, sounding as cool and collected as ever even under such circumstances, his hips showing no sign of stopping their motions.

“Just, please,” she nearly begged, finding it difficult to speak with her shortage of breath coupled with a particular distraction, “I.. I’m going to, to…” came her stuttered half-statement.

“Saya, is something wrong?” The concerned undertone most definitely seemed out of place to her.

“Of course not, I just..”

She trailed off as her eyes fluttered opened, realization dawning on her upon seeing a somewhat worried Haji, donning some comfortable-looking sleeping attire she’d bought him earlier in the day, leaning over her bed and awaiting an answer from her. Her cheeks flushed as her lust-glazed eyes stared up at him, unsure of what to say. When he didn’t receive the answer he was looking for the chevalier seated himself at the edge of the bed, pulling the flustered girl into a half-sitting position and holding her so she leaned against his chest.

“A nightmare?” he asked, coming to the conclusion that she’d been talking in her sleep, cupping her cheek gently in his hand.

“…No.” she answered after a moment, then, wrapping her arms around his neck and dragging him down to her level, closed her eyes and pressed her lips firmly against his own.

Taken aback, it took Haji a brief few seconds to piece together what had happened. He couldn’t help but smile into the kiss, both amused and flattered by the idea of Saya having ‘dirty’ dreams. When he hadn’t responded to the simple kiss, The queen parted her lips slightly and meshed them against his, gingerly but insistent, determined to gain some kind of reaction.

Bending to her encouragement, he gradually imitated her ministrations, the pair creating a delicious friction between them. After several minutes, Seeming to be unsatisfied with the tame show of affection, Saya let her tongue slip out of her mouth and rub purposefully against Haji’s lower lip, her heart pumping as though she were running a marathon. Fallowing some diminutive hesitation, her request was granted as his mouth unfastened to allow the small pink muscle to slip inside the unexplored territory. Taking her time, she ran the little appendage against his teeth and across his tongue, delicately coaxing Haji’s own tongue to reciprocate and glide over it’s houseguest.

Eventually the meticulous investigation developed into a passion-laced indulgence, the pair clinging to each other amorously. Slowly, the queen guided the younger down until they lay on the bed, herself pressed comfortably into the mattress under Haji’s weight.
‘What a fabulous feeling’ her brain told itself subconsciously, her attention being a little otherwise occupied and she could feel his quickened pulse beneath her fingertips.

Her body was buzzing with desire, and she was all too ready to start removing clothing as their mouths worked over each other. She let one of her hands wander, creeping up her companion’s side somewhat and under his shirt to feel a small fraction of his warm skin, causing him to shudder slightly from the unfamiliar contact and his grip on her only tightened. Their breathing grew heavy and difficult to manage, neither feeling it appropriate to stop long enough to satiate their lungs’ slight burning for the oxygen they needed. Fallowing the girls example, Haji’s thumb absently found it’s way under the hem of Saya’s tank top, rubbing in little circles against her bare stomach. A small whimper drew itself from her lips, encouraging him further and slowly working to break down his resolve. The rest of his hand fallowed after his thumb and collectively slid further under her nightshirt, her back arching to press her torso into the touches, came to a stop on her ribcage, several inches below her breasts (as he IS a gentleman), and stroked her skin affectionately.

Naturally, that was when Kai threw the door open.
“Saya, it’s early, you shouldn’t be going to bed yet!” He yelled as the abused slab of wood slammed against the wall loudly.

The pair on the bed parted at the lips and Saya did a lovely imitation of a deer in the headlights of a fourteen-wheel semi-truck, despite her flushed cheeks, kiss-swollen lips, and Haji resting on top of her with his hand in her shirt.

Kai gawked at the scene, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

The phrase “I’m getting the damned gun!” could be heard in a scream throughout the household, and Kai evacuated the room in search of said object before either of the surprised party could make an excuse. After a short pause, they could hear the twins’ irritated voices ringing out, babbling about knocking on doors and how there wasn’t ammo for the shotgun anyway, and Haji elected to stand and move across the room, shutting the door tightly before returning to the bedside.

Sitting up in the bed, Saya couldn’t help but laugh at her brother’s reaction.
“Well, at least it looks like the girls have him under control.”

“Yes. They do appear to have him wrapped around their fingers.” The chevalier commented, rubbing his bandaged thumb over her damp lips to absorb some of the moisture resting there from their somewhat sloppy activities. “And contrary to his opinion, you ought to be getting back to sleep.”

She sighed, having hoped to get out of sleeping in favor of some more pleasurable activities, and blushed when she realized it.

“Alright.. Could you lay with me though? I’m feeling attached.”

The male slid into the bed with her, having no reason to complain about the request, and wrapped the covers around the both of them as Saya nuzzled herself into his chest.

“I’m sorry for that..” she began, shifting to get comfortable.

“There’s no need to apologize, Saya. If I had any protests, I would have voiced them.” He planted a small kiss on the top of her head, folding his arms around her warmly.

She grinned and tilted her head up, her lips stealing his away for a last, chaste kiss before she curled back into him, prepared to go back to sleep for the night.

Kai glared at them from the kitchen, still irked from the night before although a long talking to from the twins had forced him to realize there was nothing he could do about his little sister’s love affairs. Haji was obviously unconcerned with Kai’s attempt at looking ominous, but he was pleased to notice Saya’s discomfort as she ate her breakfast.

The twins came into the room giggling up a storm, Suki clinging to Saya’s arm and rambling about being proud of her as Seiko patted Haji’s shoulder with a thump, wearing a large grin. Kai was all the more insulted to have his ‘daughters’ encouraging the unwelcome behavior of his sister. He ushered them out the door quickly after handing the their bags and lunches, and Saya sighed in relief as they left, her cheeks slightly flushed.

“So. Care to explain the situation? Or at least come up with an excuse?” Kai asked accusingly after a moment or uncomfortable silence.

“I.. had an unsettling dream and Haji was helping me to.. feel better?” The girl supplied, hoping it would be an adequate answer, but doubting it, and feeling a lot like a teenaged girl getting a lecture from her father.

“If that’s his response to a nightmare, I’d hate to walk in on what happens when you’re sick!” Kai’s mood seemed to lighten a little at the poor reasoning, cracking a small smile.

“It did a satisfactory job of helping Saya to feel better.” Haji stated coolly.

For a moment, Kai just stared at him.
Then he laughed appreciatively, unable to suppress it, until he was on the verge of tears.

“Has anyone ever even told you about the birds and the bees, Saya?” Seiko asked as she and her twin lead their aunt towards the school, although she already knew the way.

“Well, yes. It’s not as though I’ve been locked in an ivory tower.” The phrase reminded Saya of her sister, the twins’ mother, although neither of the girls had really been told the full story about Diva, and so were not cursed with the same thought of the words.

“But you were probably told a long time ago, right? So do you know about.. you know… protection and things like that?” Suki asked curiously.

“Yeah, do you know how to put on condoms or insert a diaphragm? Does Haji? Are you on birth control?” the other twin offered, much less subtly.

“Or maybe you want to try and have a baby?” The darker-eyed girl tacked on

“I-I know how. I was in highschool before I slept, and there was a sex education course. I don’t know for sure if Haji-”

“Well you better find out! That stuff’s important, you know.” Seiko cut her elder off.

“I’m pretty sure we don’t need to worry about those things..” Saya almost mumbled, feeling uncomfortable.

“Why? Are you sterile or something?” the blue-eyed girl asked bluntly

“Seiko! Don’t say things like that!” The other girl lectured her sister for her tactlessness.

“What? I just asked a simple question!”

“Actually,” Saya interrupted them, hoping to keep their argument from escalating, “It’s something like that.” She lowered her voice so just the three of them could hear.
“Since we aren’t human, having children works a little differently for us.”

“How differently?” Suki inquired, knowing that this was probably applicable to herself and her sister as well.

“We don’t like.. asexually reproduce, do we?” Came the other young girl.

“No, that part works the same, it’s just.. a little bit more complicated. I’ll explain it to you in a couple years, alright? It’s time consuming. Anyway,” Saya continued, “Haji and I aren’t able to produce children together.”

Although the girls were very curious on the subject now, they had picked up the barest bit of pain in their aunt’s voice as she’d spoken and decided to just leave that exact subject alone.

“Well… okay, I guess. Maybe it’s not important if he knows how condoms work, as long as he hasn’t been a man-whore in the past or anything.”

“Seiko!”

Saya laughed as they approached the schoolyard gate, her nieces beginning to argue over weather or not Haji could be ‘used goods’, as Seiko so nicely put it.

Saya sighed and set her messenger bag on the diner counter as she came in, the twins running through the room towards the stairs, giggling and talking loudly.

“Have a rough day, sis?” Kai asked her with a grin.

“No,” Saya smiled, “It’s just kind of exhausting to be with Seiko and Suki all day. They hardly hold still.”

“Yeah, they can be pretty nerve-grating sometimes”, Kai laughed, drying his dishwater-soaked hands on a towel.

“They aren’t that bad. Where’s Haji?” She asked, feeling that he wasn’t in the house at the moment.

“Your puppy ran into town a while ago. He wanted to get some polish for that big violin of his or something. He’s been gone a while, so he should be back soon.”

“It’s a cello, Kai, not a violin.” Saya chided and smiled.

“You two should go get cell phones. Ya know, so everyone can keep track of everyone else.”

“That’s a good idea. I should ask him to go with me and get them tomorrow.”

The front door made a little ‘ding’ as it opened, the chevalier stepping in and looking a tiny bit strange walking around without his cello case attached to him.

“Speak of the devil.” Kai said as Haji approached the counter, standing close to where Saya had seated herself and quirking an eyebrow just the slightest bit (a habit he was picking up from Kai and Seiko unknowingly).

“I was talking about getting us cell phones tomorrow after school.” Saya explained, brushing the back of her hand against Haji’s shirt sleeve for the sake of contact.

“I see.” He said simply, taking her hand and lightly touching his lips to her knuckles before releasing her. “I’ve made reservations at a dinner-theater production for tonight.”

“That’s great!” She smiled excitedly and pivoted in her stool to face him. “Is everyone going, or just us?”

“We’ll be on our own tonight. I’ve been informed that everyone else has previous engagements, although I’m not sure that I believe them completely.”

“Well, if everyone wants us to spend time alone together, We should probably oblige them and take advantage of it, huh?” Saya shrugged and giggled, catching Kai trying to look innocent out of the corner of her eye.

not very fluffy, but I decided to go a different way then I initially intended with this chapter. The next one should pan out better for the fluff department, but no guarantees.
sorry for it being kinda a cock-tease at the beginning, too. p
