"O-oh! So...sorry," she said weakly, covering her mouth. Ushio hauled herself up and started brushing her teeth. She sniffed, and, her back to him, watched in the mirror as tears started to pour down her cheeks.

He hugged her from behind " shhh its okay honey "

She spit into the sink and rinsed her mouth with some mouthwash. She shook her head. "I will die," she said simply. "And I'm scared you won't believe that I love you anymore."

Kaji hugged her tighter " you wont die " he said kissing on her neck

"I always do." She whimpered when he kissed her sweet spot, and the nightmare came up in her brain. "...and you'll cheat on me, leave me one day."

no " he said groping her " Never again ... but you will always come back just like if I die Ill always come back to you... mylove"

"Why do you..why do you still stick with me..? Girls throw themselves at you, they want to bed you regardless of your useless girlfriend. They have bigger chests, bigger hips, taller, older...so why me?" She covered her face with her hands and repressed a moan.

" Because My 'useless' girlfriend has three times the heart of any one of those hussies "

"But only one-third part sexiness," she said sadly, pulling down her pants and looking at her Mew g-string.

" Ah thats nothing ... remember Ive seen what you will become and its worth the wait ... plus I find you attractive and kissable as you are anyway " he whispered licking her earlobe

She squirmed in his hold a bit and her breath hitched, turning ragged. "Kaji....you...pedobear..."

" If you call me that Ill stop " he said freezing his actions

"Okay," she sighed. It was just a joke to tease him. Ushio flushed the toilet and pulled her pants back up.

" well its morning get dressed Ill take you out for breakfast " He said walking out behind her

"No." She grabbed a set of clothes and headed for the shower. "I'm staying in today. If you want to go, go ahead. Don't forget to feed Nami-chan."

" we are in a ryoukan in the star village " he chuckled " Nami is staying at a friends "

"Then remind her to eat," she said, and snapped her fingers. On the futon appeared a little green box, saying, 'No touch'. It looked like the exact same box in Kaji's dream where Ushio pulled out her toy.

He made a face like O,o and sat down beside her " instead of having a nice meal with me followed by love making your gunna stay here and diddle yourself "

"Can't change what you do," she said simply. "If you don't go soon, there's gonna be a big crowd in the market." Ushio propped herself on a pillow and took out the toy from the box.

Kaji sighed " Come with me sweetheart "

"Why?" she asked, confused. "Fine, then. But gimme a piggyback ride." She smiled and got on his back. "Where to eat?"

" What are you hungry for " he asked " and me isnt an option yet " he said teasing her

"You taste sour down there, it kinda makes it icky," she informed, poking him. "You choose."

" I taste sour " he said dejectedly " I think they have a pancake house around here "

"Sour," she agreed. "Okay, to the pancakes, then!"
