It was happening again. Stratos sat on his chair glaring at Mizuhime. Glaring at that smug grin he always seemed to get. He had a deep urge to punch her and wipe that smug look out of her holier-than-thou eyes. But he didn't. He held back, because he knew that he wouldn't win. Every time they fought Mizuhime's smod fans always seemed to beat Stratos's nerd-rage. So he just sat there glaring at the e-girl. Mizuhime liked this, the feel of the glare from Stratos. So full of hate and malice. Yet underneath it was a different feeling. One she doubted the nerd was even aware of.. lust. That was the source of smug look at the moment. Her eyes locked firmly with his ones. Then Mizuhime motion for Stratos to come closer. Stratos didn't know much about romantic hints, just enough to roughly communicate with Mizuhime. He knew that Mizuhime wanted him closer but he stayed put. He watched Mizuhime's look turn pouty as Stratos sat there. He watched Mizuhime sign again for him to come closer, and again Stratos ignored it. Mizuhime tried signaling once more and got the same response. So she asked a question. "Why won't you come over here?"

"Don't wanna." Stratos spoke.

Stratos watched her eyes turn angry as Mizuhime stood. She then walked; vary dramatically, the few feet between her and Stratos. The poke-girl stood in front of Stratos with a glare of her own."Why do you have to be so dense?" Mizuhime asked angrily.

"I don't understand women." Stratos admitted honestly.

"BAKA!!!." Mizuhime yelled.

"I'm not stupid." Stratos objected. Mizuhime then sat on Stratos's lap facing him.

"Really?" Mizuhime asked. Mizuhime then traced her index finger along Stratos's jaw. Mizuhime then leaned in for a chaste kiss, quick but certainly not innocent. Stratos immediately leaned in to make the kiss last longer. But Mizuhime placed a finger over Stratos's lips. With a smug look she did a simple sign: "Punishment". Stratos twisted his face into a mix of a pout and scowl. Stratos was somewhat a masochist (hence why he still browsed smogon dot com) and Mizuhime was definitely a sadist. He liked what Mizuhime called 'punishments'. But the small woman liked to make them drag on. Thread after thread of 'punishments' were dished towards Stratos, and he ate them up. But it was already out of Stratos's control to stop. Mizuhime dragged her finger nails down Stratos's neck. With just enough pressure to leave a steady red line. She watched as Stratos bit his lip with a defiant look. Mizuhime's grin widened as she grabbed a hand full of Stratos's precious hair and pulled. Causing Stratos to tilt his head back and to the side. Stratos both grunted and whimpered at Mizuhime's actions. Mizuhime kissed Stratos along the neck starting at his jaw down to his collar bone. Then Mizuhime lightly bit the clef of Stratos's neck, just hard enough to leave marks. Mizuhime slipped her hands under Stratos's shirt to touch taught muscles on his stomach. Methodically scratching her nails in between the ridges of Stratos's abs.

"You win." Stratos moaned. "You win Mizuhime."

Mizuhime sat up as the newly dubbed "Doubles Queen" and looked at Stratos with a smug grin. She leaned in and kissed Stratos's chin.

"Mizuhime." Stratos moaned again. Mizuhime tilted Stratos's head down and looked into his eyes. Mizuhime shook her head slowly, which earned a grown from Stratos. Mizuhime then leaned in and quickly brushed her lips against Stratos, not long enough to even be considered a kiss. Followed by a small bite on the tip of Stratos's nose. Stratos tried his best to stay both patient and still, but he couldn't any longer. Stratos gripped Mizuhime firmly at the hip and pulled her closer. Stratos then went for a kiss, which Mizuhime dodged as easy as one of his punches. Stratos growled slightly at this. Mizuhime pushed Stratos back into the couch.

"You're being punished. Remember?" Mizuhime said."Come one."

Stratos pleaded. Mizuhime just shook her head. "You're going a little far don't you think?"

Mizuhime started doing a motion similar to laughing, but without sound. She settled herself and began to sign. "Will you start listening?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Stratos didn't quite comprehend what Mizuhime meant. Mizuhime sharply pushed Stratos into the couch and glared at him. She then said, pronouncing each individual word slowly and dramatically.

"You. Will. Do. As. I. Say."

Stratos nodded slowly at what she said. "Well, as long as we're alone." Mizuhime added."Gladly." Stratos pulled her close again and went for a kiss, which Mizuhime allowed to land on her lips.
