	Defenses

A/N: I am offically totally hooked to this manga.

"Wha..?" Chika blinked. "Gopher, you're out of your mind."

Michiru willed the tears from forming.

"Stop talking nonsense and get back to making money," he added, walking away.

Her willpower gave out.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Some time later, Shito came by. The two of them were always near, they had to be, but left Michiru alone if she asked, which today she had. She had wanted to talk to Chika privately.

"How are you faring, Michiru?" Shito now asked, sweet as sugar.

"Please, Shito, leave me alone…"

"Huh?" the teen bent to the side to look at her. "Are you certain you're all right?"

"Fine, Shito," she replied, the edge in her voice beginning to show.

"Hope it's not contagious," he stated, straightening.

She eyed him warily. "Excuse me?"

"You and Chika."

"Chika's… in a bad mood too?"

"Yes."

"Did… did he say why?"

"Tch. That idiot couldn't keep anything to himself, even if he wanted to, I'd bet."

She allowed herself a small giggle."

"Michiru, he told me what you asked him."

She stiffened. "Did he?"

"Yes. I can tell you he feels the same way you do."

"Please don't lie to me, Shito. If he cared about me like that, he wouldn't have said those things to me."

"It's his defense."

"Defense? From what?"

"Michiru, you may be with us most of the time, but you're still alive. And there's no telling how long we'll be like this."

"Did you think I hadn't thought of that?!"

"No. But Chika likely did."

Realization hit the girl.

"And Michiru, there's something about us you really don't realize."

She took a deep breath before asking, "What?"

"Our bodies… they don't exactly function normally. There are some things the ferryman put an extra charge in for, things Chika and I found to be unimportant."

"Unimportant?"

"Yes. Freeing ourselves of dept and going on with our lives has been our one and only concern. Having any kind of relationship… it hadn't crossed either of our minds."

"Shito, I'm still not sure what you're saying."

"Each bodily function was a separate cost. Undead can't reproduce anyway, but Chika and I did agree this wasn't a time in our lives for any recreation." He looked down at the girl, not really surprised to see she had turned bright red.

"S-So he's pushing me away."

"It would appear that way."

She sighed. "Appear?"

Shito's only reply was a knowing smirk before he walked away.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"All right, Chika, if you're sure, just sign here."

With a faint blush on he cheeks, the pen sloppily met the paper.

Me: Hey, everyone! Say hello to my new muses!

Michiru!Muse: Thank you for the welcome!

Chika!Muse: Where's the fridge?

Me: That way, but I think you'll be disappointed.

Yuugi!Muse: Wow! A real het pairing! I've heard of these, but never saw one up close!

Chika!Muse: (mouth full) What you gawking at, Shorty?"

Yuugi!Muse: What?! Atem! Chika's being mean to me!!

Atem!Muse: (looms over Chika in a very Series 0 sort of way)

Chika!Muse: Yo! Shito! We need to change hands!

Shito!Muse: …
