Here, have a short ficcy, Saha <3

~**~

Spoiler for Short Shana ficcy:

Shana opened the front door of the Sakai household and stepped into the cool air, out of the summer heat. Her shoes were slipped off and placed to the side before she stepped up onto the hardwood floor and began to search for her goal. Only a few moments passed before she saw Chigusa in the kitchen and she trotted the rest of the way to her. “Chigusa!” The greeting made the older woman look back and smile.

“Hello, Shana-chan,” the mother replied in kind. “You’re here a little early for training?”

“Ah, I was wondering if I could talk to you a while?”

“Certainly,” Chigusa wiped her hands off on a dish towel before walking with Shana to the living room. “What about?”

“Well…” Shana stopped in her tracks when she saw Yuji enter the room.

“Shana.” The male took a step forward but was quickly rushed by the girl, who started pushing him out of the house via the back sliding doors. “Oi, Shana!?”

“Train by yourself for a while!”

“But-?”

Shana took off her necklace and placed it around Yuji’s neck. “I said it’s okay, so it’s okay!” After a final push, she closed the doors and glared at him, daring the boy to come back into the house that doubled as her second home.

Yuji scratched the top of his head before turning around and stepping down onto the grass of his lawn. “What was that about?”

“Who knows…” Alastor spoke lightly from the pendant.

Shana turned around and blushed at Chigusa’s curious face. “Ah, you see…” Looking down, she fought a small battle with herself while debating if she should ask the question that was on her mind or not. Before long, a kind hand was placed on her shoulder and she was lead over to the couch. Sitting, the young girl finally took a deep breath and began. “You know, a while ago, I asked how babies were made…?” The mother stiffened a brief moment before nodding and smiling again. “I asked Kazumi and she told me that it wasn’t something I should ask in public… so I looked up babies in a book and it said they came from procreating… which I looked up and it said fornicate… but I didn’t know what that was either.” She looked sideways at Chigusa and suddenly felt her own face coloring darkly at the look she was getting. “A-anyway, I looked it up and it said to have sex or make love and… well... those lead me back to fornicate.” She fidgeted with her hands, suddenly getting the feeling that she was asking something that she should already know. “Um… Alastor said that I needed to ask a female and I think Wilhelmina would only confuse me more so…”

“Arasu Tor-san said so?” Chigusa got a short nod. “Well, if I have his permission…” She looked at Shana, who was suddenly looking up at her with wide, thankful eyes. “Okay… Remember how I told you that a kiss was something special?” A curt nod came paired with red tinted cheeks. “Well, when you make love with someone, you are taking that a step further. It is something that you should only do with someone you love very, very much. Someone you are willing to give yourself to completely, who you trust above all others.”

Shana nodded again, taking comfort that Chigusa was explaining to her. “I told Yuji how I felt, and he chose me… Is the next step making love?” She blushed more and looked down shyly. “Making love with Yuji… how do you do it?”

The mother faltered briefly but picked back up in an attempt to not embarrass the girl anymore. “Shana-chan, please listen carefully, and ask any questions you have okay?”

“Okay?” Shana blinked and tilted her head to the side.

“You see, making love is…”

Yuji exhaled loudly while resting his wooden sword on his shoulder. “The weighted sword really starts getting to you after a while.”

“You did well, Sakai Yuji.” Alastor gave a rare praise. “I feel you will be able to fight on your own soon enough.”

“Thank you.” Yuji closed his eyes and released the training spells on his sword. “I’m starving, I wonder if Shana came to help make breakfast…” Upon walking back into the house, he met Shana as she was walking by. “Sha-“

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” She yelled at him angrily, face so red that even the tips of her ears were burning. Her hands grabbed Alastor as it was being taken off and she stormed off to the kitchen to get out of her friend’s sight.

“What’s… wrong with her?”

“I wonder,” Chigusa giggled out, a hand covering her mouth to try and hide her smile. “Maybe you’ll find out one day.”

“Find out…” Yuji put a hand on his hip and looked at the entrance to the kitchen, where Shana glanced over her shoulder, saw him, and quickly turned back around. ‘I’ll never understand them.’
