Passion Lips Vs Spike (completed)

Pash, being the wanderer that she is, found herself in a rather, well, cartoonish looking place. The place seemed colorful. Almost overly so. Other than that, it was quite nice, although she did wonder about the robots and monkeys that were wandering randomly around. They were not bothering her, so she just stayed out of their way as well. As for what they were doing, she had no idea. There was also the question of the lights the monkeys seemed to all be wearing on their heads. It was an odd sight, so Pash decided not to think too much about it.

She followed a path that, as far as she could tell, would lead her to a city. There seemed to be fewer and fewer robots and monkeys as she went along as well, so she figured she had to be going in the right direction. Then, in the distance, she saw...

Well, she was not quite sure what she saw actually. Looked like someone taking the same path in the opposite direction, but that was about all she could say about it for now.

Moves:

Love Gatling MKII: "I've got even more love then before~!" Passion Lips kisses her hand and then blows it at the target in the form of many hearts. The longer she holds the blow, the more hearts are created. Hearts surround her opponent. She can trigger the hearts immediately or later. The hearts swarm her opponent when triggered. (4-16 hearts, Minor Charm Damage per heart.)

Love Bombardment: "*giggle* Can you handle this much love~?" Passion Lips blows several kisses that take the form of giant hearts. Not used to putting so much Love Magic in her attacks, her aim is a bit off, so the hearts may hit someone other than her intended target.(2-5 Hearts scattered among enemy party, Heavy Charm Damage.)

Idol Worship: "You'll just love what I have in store for you~! teehee~" Passion Lips places a finger on her lips. She then leans forward, winks at her target, and, with a "Mwah!", fires off a kiss in the shape of a tiny heart. Lowers Charm Res of anyone looking at her. Deals Minor Charm Damage to her target, with a high chance of leaving them stunned.

Old Friend: "Get 'em, Teddy!" Passion Lips gives her teddy bear a big kiss, infusing him with a large amount of Love Magic. She then throws her teddy bear at her target, who feels compelled to catch him. If they fail a Charm Res check, then they'll waste the next several turns cuddling him.

Love Bullet: "Ready for some hard love~?" Passion Lips blows a kiss at the target. The Kiss takes the form of a heart that hovers in the air for a moment, before speeding off like a rocket aimed at her target's face. The kiss hits them hard enough to knock them off their feet and leave them lying on the ground, Deals Minor Charm Damage and Minor Physical Damage. Leaves the target downed.

Lovely Bum(downed opponent): "Mind if I sit here~? *giggle*" Passion Lips walks over to her target. She positions herself so she has a foot on either side of their head, facing the rest of their body. Slowly, she lowers her beautiful butt onto her target's head. She lets out a giggle as she rubs her ass against her victim and begins blowing kisses, in the shape of her lips, at their groin. Bind. Each turn trapped under her dual assault has a chance of giving her victim an Ass Fetish. Deals Lust Damage.

Lovely View(downed opponent): "So~ How do I look?" Passion Lips simply steps on her target's chest, keeping them pinned down. The victim's eyes hone in on her foot, before they slowly travel up her leg. Her opponent can not keep themselves from drinking in her gorgeous figure. When their gaze finally reaches her face, she gives them a playful wink and releases them. Lowers Lust Res. Chance target stays down.

Very Naughty Kiss: "I think I'm better at this now~." Passion Lips kneels before her target and pulls their crotch into a deep kiss. She breaks the kiss with a "mwah!". As she stands, her hands trail up her targets body, and she pulls them into a follow up kiss. "What do you think~? *giggle*" Deals Heavy Lust Damage.

Sharing The Love(Female Only): "Do you want to be like me?" Passion Lips' lips glow as she pulls her target into a kiss on the lips. When she releases them, their lips are glowing as they being to take in ambient Love Magic. Target suffers Overload status for the rest of the battle.

True Love's Kiss(Automatic KO): "Come here, so I can show you how much I love you~!" Passion Lips spreads her arms wide as she becomes enveloped in a corona of Love Magic, inviting her opponent to accept her embrace. If they fail either a Charm res or a Lust res check, or are stunned by Idol Worship, they will rush into her arms and accept their fate. Passion Lips pulls them into a tight, loving embrace and gives them a passionate, unrelenting kiss. For what seems like an eternity, the two stand there locked in the kiss.

Slowly, her partner goes limp as they are overwhelmed be her intense love. But even then she does not break the kiss. No, even as her arms are the only thing keeping her partner from collapsing to the ground, she keeps their lips pressed together. She won't stop until her love has consumed their mind; until their every waking and unwaking thought is filled with feeling of her lips pressing against them.

Nothing lasts forever, and eventually Passion Lips will release her partner. As they fall into an unconscious heap at her feet, she will pick up her teddy bear and go off in search of more people who will inevitably succumb to her lips. For she truly loves everyone, just as she did as a Channeler, and it would be so unfair if a love as pure and true as hers was given to only one person.

True Love's Kiss leaves the target with a Crippling Lip Fetish. Until Passion Lips' victims can find a way to purge her Love Magic from their systems, all Kisses will deal Insane Charm/Lust Damage.

Spike

Moves

Stun Club: One of Spike's most trusted gadgets, this is his go-to weapon for smacking down baddies. This is his normal attack.

Monkey Net:Another one of Spike's most trusted gadgets, Spike uses this in a bit of a different way than in the past. If he manages to capture an enemy with this, he will slam them into the ground as hard as he can in the next turn unless they can break free.

Sky Flier: A gadget originally used to help the user get to high-up places, Spike's adopted a new use for this gadget, rocketing upward with a Sky-Flier assisted uppercut.

Dash Hoop:Using this Hula Hoop from hell, Spike charges forward, slamming all of his weight(As well as whatever the Dash Hoop can constitute as) into the opponent.

Magic Punch: One of Spike's stronger attacks, this extendable boxing glove launches forward with enough strength to break metal boxes! Though it is woefully inaccurate, and has a tendency to get stuck occasionally.

Slingshot: Do we really need to say anymore? It's a slingshot. Spike DOES have explosive and homing bullets. But for the most part, he tends to only use the normal slingshot ammo.

Stun Club Overclock: With a bit of tinkering, Spike has managed to give the Stun Club a chance to boost it's power exponentially, changing it's appearance to one akin to a giant blue energy sword. This is Spike's most powerful attack, but it comes at two costs. The first is that he can only use it once every few days(Or once every RP, I suppose). The second is that, whether he hits or misses, the Overclock is only good for one attack, and then the Stun Club is rendered unusable for 5 turns while it recharges.

Spike was indeed going the opposite way as the woman. However, that was also somewhat incorrect, as it was less a "Leisurely stroll" and more...well.....

"Gah! Get back here you damn monkey!"

Yeah. Chasing another monkey, with another Peak Point Helmet on it's head. Every time he got close, the creature hopped away, laughing and hollering at him, until finally, Spike's patience wore thin.

Pulling out a glowing blue net, he hopped into the air, slamming the net down atop the monkey as it continued to laugh. With a surprised shriek, the ape flailed wildly before disappearing from within the butterfly net with a bright blue flash. Letting out a sigh of relief, the boy put the net away.

"Specter can't be back, right? So...What's with all the monkeys?"

As he ruminated on that thought process, however, his attention was drawn to another person, who seemed to be heading this way. Coughing awkwardly into his hand, he began to walk in their general direction. Maybe they were lost? If that was the case, he could probably try and give them directions.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

That figure she saw in the distance? Turned out to be a boy. She had no idea how old he was, but she guessed he had to be somewhat younger than herself. She watched as this boy chased one of the monkeys around, getting more and more frustrated by the monkey. Then he pulled out a, well, was it a butterfly net? I mean, it looked like one, but there most certainly were no butterflies anywhere near him.

Then he swung the butterfly net over the monkey, and to her absolute horror, the monkey disappeared into a flash of light! Her eyes widened and her mouth was now agape in horror.

“W...what did you do to that monkey…” she stammered. “A...and why did you do that to that monkey?”

The boy was standing there looking like he was waiting for her to ask him a question, but she was pretty sure he was not expecting her to ask him that particular question. Maybe hitting monkeys with sci-fi looking butterfly nets that made monkeys with flashing red lights on their head disappear into a flash of blue light was a normal thing here. If that was the case, it definitely raised the question of why such a sight was normal here. Where the hell was she anyways? Clearly this is not where she thought she was going.

“I really need to get better at reading maps” she thought to herself.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 30 willpower

As Spike drew closer, three things became apparent to him.

1.) The person was a woman.
2.) The woman was breathtakingly beautiful, and he needed to stop staring like some slack-jawed idiot or else she'd probably think that he was a pervert or something.
And 3.) She was currently wondering what the hell was happening. Though that was understandable. He DID just run around chasing some annoying monkey.

Tearing his eyes away from her to focus on her actual face(As well as try to quell any blush that was making it's way onto his own face. Damnit, hormones, get it together!) he coughed into his hand, trying to collect his thoughts.

"Well..Would you believe me if I told you that there was this albino monkey that found a helmet that increased his intelligence and made him evil? And that he had been sending monkeys around time and space and...well, all over the world to try and take it over and make monkeys the dominant race? And that I was capturing the monkeys so they could be sent to a lab, have the helmet removed, and be made somewhat docile?"

You know....Saying that out loud made Spike realize how much it sounded like some cheesy Saturday morning cartoon.... Letting out a sigh, he looked at her, giving her a warm smile.

"So...My name's Spike. Nice to meet you. Are you new in town?"

The boy introduced himself to her and the way his eyes lingered on her figure just a tad too long before making their way to her own eyes while making the introduction did not go unnoticed by her.

“Well, he is old enough to notice that I’m a woman,” thought Pash to herself, still trying to place a number to his age but not wanting to just ask the boy outright.

“Nice to meet you Spike, My name is Pash” she said, returning the nice warm smile he was giving her.

She took a moment to think over his explanation, then finally responded with a “hmmm, I think I saw a movie that was kind of like what you are talking about. It’s just that these monkeys look much less, well, ferocious. . . I’m sure their looks are deceiving though,” she quickly added, catching herself before she sounded like a jerk for belittling this boy’s struggle.

“So are you the only one trying to stop this monkey invasion,” she asked while taking a look at her surroundings. She now almost wished she had not asked. This place was making less and less sense by the second. “You must be quite the boy if you are singlehandedly saving your people from these monkeys,” she added with a big smile. Part of her wanting the boy to stop looking so nervous, but most of her wanting to see just how much more she could make this boy blush.

“I suppose I’m new in town, but I’m just passing though,” she added. “Say, is the town overrun with monkeys? Is it safe for me to go there?”

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 30 willpower

"A pleasure to meet you, Pash." Nodding his head at her introduction, and her words, he crossed his arms.

"Yeah....They look innocent, but then they start punching you. And using guns...And bombs...And missles....And mechs and other horrible things." Saying those words brought back horrific memories, like that one monkey who had somehow tamed a T-Rex. Some things, a ten year old boy just were NOT ready to deal with.

At her words, and that radiant smile, his face was overcome with a bright red blush. "W-Well..Yeah. I've been doing this since I was about ten years old. Been at it for....Seven years, about? As for the town..It should be fine. I didn't see any more monkeys, so it shouldn't be TOO bad. Though if you would like a tour guide, I'd be glad to accompany you."

The compliment had its intended effect. The boy was comfortable enough around her to open up. This boy has effectively been a soldier since he was ten. What kind of society sends ten year olds to fight their battles? Now that she was looking for it, she could clearly see that he was on the cusp of adulthood, but damn if he did not look half his age.

“I have got to find out what his skin care routine is,” she thought to herself.

“My my, what a charmer you are,” said Pash with a giggle and a smile, “so quick to offer to take a girl like me around town. Charm and a hero of the town. You must be quite popular with the ladies. You sure you are not going to break all their hearts by walking around town with an outside girl like me?”

She had never had someone walking around with her before. This would make it much harder for her to find someone to share her love energy with if he was at her side the whole time. It was that time again and the love energy was starting to bubble within her. Anymore of this without getting rid of some of the love energy would lead to beginning the process of a slow and painful death. She was hoping to just come across someone silly enough to pick a fight with her in the town, but now she had this boy…

Well, on second look, it was clear that he was more of a man than she had initially thought. Maybe he would do. She looked around again to make sure it was just them.

“But before we go, tell me more about where we are right now, she requested of Spike. “I’m sure there must have been some crazy stories to come out of this area, no?”

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 30 willpower

Wow. If her goal was to make the boy go red, she succeeded. At her words, he looked away, trying to get the blush off of his face. It didn't help that she was really quite cute.

"W-Well...I have a few friends who are females. One's an idol, and one's been almost like an older sister to me." There was also Casi, but she was a...robot? AI? Spike couldn't place it.

As he began to walk, he turned his head to her, somewhat surprised that she wanted to hear his stories. Back when he was a kid, everyone he told just thought he had some over-active imagination. He tended to keep it to himself for that reason. And now this girl wanted to know?

So, with a smile...He told her everything.

About the race he had with his friend Jake. About them stumbling into the lab to find the Professor and Natalie tied up, and the Professor's Time Station being activated by Specter and his goons. How Spike and Jake were dragged into it, and how Jake was controlled by Specter. How Spike went through time and space, capturing every monkey he stumbled upon, freeing Jake, and reverting Specter back to the way he originally was.

Not to mention all the adventures his cousin Jimmy had, as well as what the siblings Kei and Yumi went on.

Eventually though, he stopped what he was saying, giving her a sheepish smile. "S-Sorry. Didn't mean to talk your ear off."

Huh. There weren't many people on the road. It seemed to just be them. Was it really that late? Or maybe they didn't realize that yes, the danger had passed.

“Ah, so a girl you see as your older sister, and a robot,” responded Pash as she followed along with his stories, “but no, oh how to say this, special girl in your life?” she asked with a sly smile and a twinkle in her eyes.

She listened to the rest of his stories as well. For someone his age, he sure has done a lot already. Perhaps getting into a fight with him would be a bad idea.

“Oh wow, you have had quite the life, and you still have so much more potential ahead of you” she said. “Still finding it hard to believe you have not had all the girls throwing themselves at you.”

“So other than this Specter with his monkeys and robots, have you had to defend the town from any other dangers?” asked the girl, “I’m sure the town would immediately turn to a hero like you in the face of a crisis.”

As they walked, their surroundings seemed to get more and more secluded. Even the monkeys and robots seemed to be a rarer and rarer sight now. Either he was taking her to a perfect spot for her to take him, or he was leading her right into a trap. Either way, she was too far along now, so she kept walking with him.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 30 willpower

"N-No. No special girl. I mean, Helga and I tried to be a couple. B-But we ended up deciding to just stay friends. She had her idol stuff to deal with. And I....Well, I wanted to keep the world safe."

As they continued walking, an idea came to his mind. "You know. There's a place I would sometimes go to when I was younger. It was nice and quiet there. Not many people went there, so I had time to relax after a hard day. Wanna head there?"

Bringing up Specter caused him to grimace, and at her question, he gave a shrug. "Not really. Though the Professor did hear about these things called....Midara, I think they are? I don't know much about them, other than that they're supposedly very beautiful. I've just been keeping an eye out for them. Mainly so I can figure out what they want."

“Well, Helga is clearly missing out on such a catch,” she said with a wink towards the boy.

“Good grief,” she thought to herself, “he’s been forced to lived such a selfless life. Even after all he has done for his people. It is so unfair.”

“Your sanctuary sounds wonderful,” beamed Pash, “I would love to go and it makes me so happy that you are willing to share something so special to you with me.”

As they continued to walk, the conversation continued.

“So let me get this straight,” said Pash. “This professor of your’s. He finds out about something called Midara. Knows nothing about them other than that they are beautiful, and then he sends you to face this unknown just like that? Seems so unfair to you if you ask me.”

So he was on the hunt for girls like her. Well, that meant she should have no trouble getting him to attack first. She hated being the one who attacked first. Made her feel like such a monster. Preying on the unsuspecting and what not. Even though those that attack first usually had no idea what they were attacking or just how in over their heads their attack would make them, it still helped her to feel like less of a monster. At least she could claim self defense in her mind.

“So do you have a plan for what to do should you meet one of these midara things?” she asked.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 30 willpower

Damn, this woman was such a flirt. Shaking his head to try and stay at least SOMEWHAT focused, he eventually started picking up the pace. "It's...kinda sad, too. Would you believe me if I told you I've never even kissed a girl before?" Welp...He just let THAT spill. Great. Time to get back on track.

"To answer your question...That depends. If the Midara are hostile, then I'll fight to protect the people I care about. I've handled a psychic monkey and a bunch of other dangers. I'm sure it won't be THAT bad. And if they aren't...I'll see what I can do to at least help them on their way. Heck, even if they ARE hostile, I'd give them a chance to back off."

With that being said, he led her to the destination. It was nothing too outstanding. Simply a cliff that looked out over the city. A small bench that looked to be handmade was the only thing on said cliff, aside from a fence on the edge, a blanket, and a few trees.

"Found this while walking around. I decided to make it my own little hang out. Tried building that bench and all that. It's really beautiful when night time rolls around." With that, he walked over to that bench and sat down, his gaze fixated on the town itself. "You're welcome to join me, Pash."

*giggle* “Well, my gender has been done a great injustice with a fine specimen like you withholding your kisses from us,” said Pash with playful accusation as she gave him a lovetap on the shoulder.

When they reached the lookout point, Pash let out a small gasp.

“Oh wow! This view is amazing” she said. “I can see why you are attached to it.”

Spike then invited her to join him on the bench. She was more than happy to take him up on his offer. She walked over and plopped herself down right next to him. They were sitting shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh.

“I really hope you don’t mind me being so close,” she said. “I am feeling a little chilly right now, but I’ll understand if you are uncomfortable. If you need me to scoot over, don’t hesitate to say so.”

“It would however, make me quite sad if you were to,” she added as she gave him a cute pout.

She hoped he was smelling her perfume right now. Boys usually became much much nicer to her when they smelt her perfume.

“Ooooo, I like this bench!” She blurted suddenly. “The wood is so nice and solid. You built this you say? Truly a man of many talents you are,” she said while wiggling around a bit on the bench. While she would claim she was testing the sturdiness of the bench, she really was just looking for an excuse to squirm against him a little and jiggle her cleavage just a bit for him. Also, the innuendo of what she said was not lost on her, and she hoped it was not lost on him either.

She sat there with him, taking in the view of the city for a little bit, enjoying feeling his warmth against her. Then she felt a little daring.

“So, I could not help but notice you seemed a little regretful about not having kissed a girl yet,” she said, so softly it was almost a whisper. “I could fix that for you, you know? That is if you are willing to let silly ol’ me be the one to have your first kiss.”

“It would make me really happy to be your first,” she added, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 30 willpower

"Heh. I'm sure you lovely ladies will be just fine without i-"

Aaaand she's right next to him. They are touching. What the heck was he supposed to do now? At her words though, he rose an eyebrow. "I...I wouldn't make you move away. Sadly, I don't really have a coat to give you."

Noticing a pleasant scent, he looked over at her, just in time to see her cleavage bounce. That, alongside the innuendo and her squirming made his face almost rival a tomato. Looking over at the city, he then heard her offer.

She wanted to kiss him.
This girl, who had been a stranger mere moments ago, wanted to kiss him.

Looking at her almost incredulously, he let out an audible gulp. "Uh...S-Sure. If you want to, then that's fine, I suppose. Though I'm curious why you want to kiss me when we just met....That seems a bit weird. I mean, I'm not trying to complain!"

Pash did not even wait for him to finish stammering. As soon as she heard him say “Sure” she went for it. She quickly but surely pressed her lips against his, placed one hand on his chest to brace herself, and let their lips linger for about ten seconds. Spike felt a surge of warmth and pleasure wash over his whole body. If this was not his first, he would know that kisses tend to be a tad less pleasurable than this, but he had no frame of reference to work with right now.

Pash then moved apart from the now stunned boy.

“Well, you been such a sweetie to me,” purred Pash after the kiss, “It’s the least a girl can do to show her appreciation, no?

“That and, in case you did not know this, we girls like collecting first kisses from you boys,” she added with a wink. “It’s like a trophy of sorts to us. If you feel objectified, you are totally justified in doing so right now.”

“But judging by the look on your face, I would say you are fine with it,” she giggled.

Pash went back to sitting against the back of the bench now. She rested her head against his shoulder for a bit, hoping to comfort him through the experience of his first kiss. Then when she felt that he had recomposed himself enough, she asked him.

“So, now that you have had your first kiss from a girl, do you feel like a changed man?” Pash asked with eager anticipation, really wanting to know how he felt about it. “Was it everything you expected? I for one hope you enjoyed it.”

“Because I most certainly did,” she added, in a very sensual voice.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 29 willpower

Before Spike could even finish his comment, she had went in for the kill, so to speak. The moment their lips touched, Spike's eyes widened, brain short circuiting for a split second. It felt....It felt amazing. The moment she pulled away, it felt like he got doused with a bucket of water.

"That....That was amazing." Slowly, he turned his head to her, his face a bright red. "Is...Is a kiss supposed to feel that good? Or are you just that great at it?"

Huh....She was definitely sounding a bit more....sultry. Or was that just him? Maybe it was just an aftereffect of the kiss. But at the same time, it felt like there was something...more to it.

“Ohohoho. Am I just that great at it? That is high praise indeed,” said Pash with pride. “Well, I most certainly would like to think that I am just that great at it.”

“Either way, I’m glad you enjoyed it. You know, you may laugh at me for this, but when I kiss a boy for the first time, a small part of me is always terrified that I’m going to mess it up so badly that the boy will think he is gay. Silly, isn't it?” she said with a chuckle.

“Well, since you enjoyed that, would you like to try again?” she asked as she narrowed her eyes seductively.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 29 willpower

"Well..You don't have to worry about that. I quite enjoyed it." Smiling at her, that smile gave way to yet another blush when she offered another kiss.

"That's...tempting. Really, it is. But I question why you want to kiss someone who you just met. Is that something you do to everyone?" Raising an eyebrow, he let out a chuckle, despite still being somewhat suspicious of this. Why exactly did she want to kiss him again? Did she just suddenly have feelings for him or something?

Pash let out a sigh.

“Heh, you truly are new to this,” she said, coming to the realization that she needed to be patient with the boy. “This is just kissing. This is not sex, nor is this a vow to spend the rest of our lives together. It’s a beautiful day, the view is nice, you’ve been so sweet to me. I just thought it would make this nice day even better for us.”

“But if you think this is a bit much right now, I get it. I totally do. I don’t want to push you into something you are uncomfortable with.”

“Just so you know, from my point of view, you really seem to be underselling yourself on how attractive you are to us girl types by the way. You have a lot to offer you know? All that you’ve done for the town. All that you are doing now. All that and looks too…” she trailed off as she smiled at him.

“But hey, if this is too much, I’ll back off.”

Pash scooted away from him a bit and looked down at her lap with a sad sigh.

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 29 willpower

Well. Now he felt like a jerk. Way to go, Spike.

"Look...It's not that I didn't enjoy it. I do! And trust me, I'd love another one. It's just....We just met. And yet you want to kiss me. After I made myself look like the biggest dork by being outsmarted by a monkey. A damned monkey. It just....I dunno. It makes me think there's something more going on here."

Looking at her, he placed a hand on her shoulder. "And hey. If it makes you feel any better, I doubt I could ask for anyone more beautiful to give my first kiss to. Though I gotta say, your beauty. It feels almost...unnatural."

Almost there, Spike. You can do it.

“Geez Spike, a girl wants to kiss you and you go all Spanish Inquisition on her,” she said with laugh.

She felt his hand on her shoulder. She tilted her head to lay on it in appreciation.

“So you would love another one you say? Well, how about this. We will let this one go completely at your pace. I’m going to let you initiate this one. I’ll even close my eyes to make it less awkward for you. You just lean in when you are ready.”

She closed her eyes. Noting that five seconds had passed without him moving, she added.

“You know, you are going to have to learn how to kiss a girl eventually. Think of this as practice if you want. I promise not to make fun of you if you mess it up.”

Passion Lips - 30 stamina
Spike - 29 willpower

Huh. So she wanted him to initiate the kiss this time, huh? Very well.

Placing his hands on her shoulders, he leaned forward, his lips pressing against hers. Slowly, he closed his eyes, waiting for something, anything to happened.

(Spike has fallen for Passion Lips'...trap?)

(Spike has a hunch something is up with this girl, but heck if he knows what's going on.)

(Maybe after this kiss he'll figure it out. Here's hoping. I'm sure this isn't all that entertaining to people following along, or to you. And I apologize.)

Pash felt his lips touch her’s and she could not help but feel relieved.

“Really thought I had managed to turn him gay for a second,” she thought to herself.

When he broke off the kiss, she simply smiled at him.

“See, that was not so bad, now was it. . . You could stand to push a little. Even though you initiated, I still felt like I had to go to you. . . oh crap, I promised not to tease you about that one, didn’t I? I’m sorry.”

“Although… can’t help but feel something is up with you,” said Pash, suddenly sounding suspicious. “It really feels like you are scared of me, and not in that “I’m so nervous to be around a girl” type of scared. No, you really are terrified of me, aren't you? I can see it in your body language. I hope I have not done anything to scare you. I’m really trying my best to make this moment special for you. Is something the matter? You can tell me. I’m quite the listener.”

Pash simply stared into his eyes for a bit, wondering what he was scared of. I mean, yes, he was actively hunting girls like her, but at the same time, he had no idea what girls like her even meant. For all he knew, a midara was a creepy monster. Was she giving off a creepy monster vibe? She hoped not. She was starting to worry that it was only a matter of time before the boy panicked and started attacking her.

Yes, she was a midara, but that did not mean she liked being one. She liked having normal girly interactions with boys every now and then. Perhaps this was a bit of a facade, but she wanted to keep it going for as long as she could. She rather liked interacting with boys when they were not swinging weapons at her like they usually do.

Another wave of pleasure ran through him at the feeling of their kiss, and despite her teasing, he felt quite pleased. Though her words did give him a reason to pause.

Something HAD been eating at him, so letting out a deep breath, he answered her question. "I've been thinking. You show up. This beautiful woman shows up, constantly flirts with me, and wants to kiss me. A kiss that just blows my friggin mind. I don't know, it just seems...a little strange. So....I have a theory...Call it curiosity, and I'm sure it's stupid. But I want you to answer me honestly."

Finally, the pieces were starting to come together. Looking up at her, he asked the big question. "Would you...happen to be a Midara? Because if so, I have to ask....Are all Midara such fantastic kissers?" At that question, he broke out into a big grin. He was hunting Midara, sure. But unless they were going to be outright hostile, he had no reason to break out his weapons.

"Though, if you aren't one. I apologize for accusing you of such a thing. Probably not the best thing to say to a girl."

Whereas Spike could not help but break out into a big grin in celebration of him piecing all the clues together, for Pash, this was absolutely heart wrenching. Once again, she was offered a slimmer of a glimpse into a normal ordinary girly life, and once again it had been shattered to pieces right before her. She let out a sigh. Then she stood up, grabbed her teddy that was on the bench next to her, straightened out her dress, and faced the boy.

“Alright boy, she said, slipping back into her seductive villainess voice, “you got me. The question now is, what are you going to do now that you have made your revelation?”

Pash hated fighting, but this was the order of things. It was either wear this boy down and kiss him into a coma by force or die. As much as she hated fighting, she rather liked being alive. However, in recognition of how nice he had been to her, she was not going to attack him first.

“Go ahead and do your thing Spike. I’m ready for you. As for your question, I don’t know if all Midaras kiss as fantastically as I do. I can’t say I’ve ever been kissed by one,” she added as a sly dig at the boy who had just become her opponent.
