Chapter five: Just some peace

All: *glares at the screen*
Axl: I felt peace while I was wasted.
Kyo K.: We all did.

Tokyo September eighth 2004

Two days passed since the youma attack that Benji fought as himself not as Kaosu.

Sonia: And he got hurt, which meant that karma finally hit him a little. Unfortunately, because the Stu is a blockhead, he learned no lessons.
Miyu: That makes no sense. Benji is Kaosu.
Kyo L.: This whole fic makes no sense. Stop trying to look for sense.

Michiru still is ignoring Haruka advances and fawning over Benji.

Benimaru: *facepalms, sighs*
Rory: Do you still have that toy trumpet, Axl?
Axl: No, I don't. I, um...
Manic: He literally tried to ram it up the Stu's butt.
Rory: *laughs out loud*
Kyo L.: What a waste of a good trumpet, Ax. You should've tried to shove a cactus or live piranhas up his ass.
Kyo K.: Well, the important thing is that you tried, Spikes. I'm just disappointed that you failed.

Hotaru also notices. But since Michiru is ignoring Haruka she figured that it is to make Haruka jealous leave it alone. But she also is getting closer of Benji.

Rory: Yes, let's have them fawn over that jerk.
Sonia: No way am I fawning over Christian Junior.

Specially when riding the BMW.

Kyo L.: So... she basically likes him for his bike?
Benimaru: Well, it sure wasn't going to be for his personality.
Axl: What personality?
Benimaru: Good call.

Seeing Michiru arriving on the day when was bought Hotaru decides to ride it on the same way.

Setsuna said that she had business on the time gate and stopped showing around. It is a calm day. No youmas to destroy the city, no incidents.

Miyu: Yet.

When aiding Michiru with the grocery Benji won a stay on a hot spring hotel. All the senshis are happy with the idea.

All: We weren't.
Sonia: Please don't tell me that this is a set-up to another "innocent pervert" moment. Seriously... a hot spring?
Manic: Stuthor's never been creative so far, sis. He wasn't going to get a unique moment now.

Thought none of the inners bothered to ask how many people could go and they are happily on dreamland.

Rory: So, uh... anyone want to purchase spots for the Inners?
Benimaru: *raises a hand* I certainly would, especially if it's just to spite him.

"So you won a stay for how many people?" Yaten asks. "It was for a family of five." Benji replies. "I am going to take Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru. Since Setsuna is not here I was thinking in giving the remaining one for one of you. But since there are many of you I am going to make it a lottery." Yaten nods agreeing.

Axl: And the remaining one translates to whoever the Stuthor is cool with.
Rory: *scratches head* So... obviously not Usagi.
Kyo K.: And Makoto and Minako won't be going, since the Stuthor loves to jerk those two around like yarn balls.

"Alright!" Benji shouts making the girls snap from they daydream. "I won five tickets. And four of them already have an owner." Benji adds. And the outers show they tickets. "That is not fair! Why you gave them to them?" the girls asked. "Because I live with them." Benji answers. "You girls are lucky if Setsuna was here none of you would get a chance of winning the ticket."

Sonia: Fair is fair.
Miyu: That's a first... but the fact that he said "you girls" just irks me a tiny bit.

They all frown with his last words. "He does have a point you know. He is living with them so it is natural that he gives them the tickets." Ami says.

Kyo L.: We were just told that two seconds ago, you parrot!
Kyo K.: *yawns* Someone sure loves to pad their word count, eh?

"To be fair over who will get the ticket you will draw straws. Who ever get the one with the red tip wins the ticket." Benji says showing to them his closed right hand with nine straws. "Well all of you can try it." Benji says. "Okay!" the girls shout. Serena is the first.

Benimaru: She loses because the Stuthor doesn't like her. We know.

The bubbly headed blonde gets a white straw and cries unhappy. Minako pulls her friend to a side and try too. She also gets a white straw. Ami, Rei, and the stars princess also get white straws.

Manic: "Stars princess"?
Miyu: Princess Kakyuu, Manic.
Manic: Oh. Why put her in if he can't even be bothered to name her?
Miyu: I don't know.

Yaten tries and gets the red tipped straw. The inners cry with displeasure and Makoto shouts with disappointment, she was the next.

Rory: So does that mean that the Stuthor likes Yaten?
Axl: Considering that she did punch the Stu and didn't get chewed out for it... probably.

"Well Yaten won it." Benji says handing to the silver haired sex changing senshi the ticket.

Kyo K.: Holy crap, stop saying "sex changing senshi", Stuthor. It's... jarring.

Yaten is about to say something when the princess speaks. "Go on and have fun. For more interesting that it could be I want to see more of this city that is why I was one of the firsts. So I would have less chances of getting it."

Sonia: *as Princess Kakyuu* Translation: The Stuthor was too lazy to look my name up, and he was tired of writing "the princess" all the time.

After those words Yaten nods deciding to follow the group. "Well we will be leaving tomorrow morning. We will be going in one car and in one bike." Michiru explains to the senshi. After setting up the details they all leave. Makoto, Minako and Serena are still crying over the lost ticket.

Benimaru: Why is Usagi crying, of all people? Especially since she was afraid that the Stu was going to beat her up in the last chapter?
Kyo L.: Because he's supposed to be this wonderful person!
Benimaru: Idiots aren't wonderful.

Tokyo September ninth 2004

Benji on his BMW and Haruka on Michiru's SUV stop in front of the stars apartment building.

Manic: And if you wanted this fic to end now, you're SOL.

Yaten is already waiting. His bag is placed on the SUV trunk. For some unknown reason Yaten is on her true feminine form.

Miyu: Because that's the form you're the most comfortable with. Then again, she was always a woman to begin with.

"You can ride with me or ride with Haruka." Benji says. "Feel free to pick the one that you feel more comfortable with."

Yaten nods and looks at the vehicles. The SUV is with three passengers. But she noticed how Michiru and Haruka are acting and since Hotaru is on the passenger seat Yaten decides to go on the bike. And after holding on the Brazilian and making herself comfortable they drive away.

Axl: Michiru's still mad at Haruka? Really?!
Sonia: *sarcastically* You know how we are, Axl; we're insecure and hold grudges a lot!
Axl: This is turning into a bad sitcom now.

And after a two hours trip they arrive on the hot springs inn. Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru stretch with pleasure after the long trip. Benji and Yaten do the same.

Kyo K.: *lazily stretches* I'm stretching because I'm friggin' bored.

They enter on the inn each of them carrying they own bags. They are placed in a large room with two smaller rooms inside. That is quickly divided as Benji's and the girl's room. Benji got the smaller one. He doesn't complain since he is in only in one and they are four.

Rory: Fair is fair. But also, look at how humble he is!
Kyo L.: He's humble? That's a funny joke.

Benji changes to a yukata and moves to take a bath. Something that he really starved since his sudden appearance on that world was to take a real Japanese bath in a Japanese hot springs inn. Benji is excited over the idea.

Kyo L.: Just don't jerk off in it.
Miyu: Kyo! You know that that's wrong! *adjusts glasses* He's been jerking off all over the fic to begin with.
Everyone else: *gasps*
Benimaru: Never expected you to go there, Miyu.

He enters on the men dressing area and trades the yukata for a towel and he removes his boxers leaving it on a basket with his yukata. He wraps the towel tightly around his waist and moves to the hot spring.

After washing himself he enters on the hot water. He sighs with pleasure. "This feels nice…" he whispers relaxing. When hearing the sound of a door sliding open Benji opens his eyes. He gasps with surprise seeing Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru and Yaten entering on the bath area only with towels.

Rory: Who called it?
Axl: *points to Sonia* She did.
Rory: Oh.

Hotaru blushes madly and turns over entering on the dressing area again. Yaten blushes and holds her towel on the place. Michiru blushes lightly, more for seeing Benji half naked than of being seem half naked.

Sonia: *rolls her eyes* Stuthor. She's a lesbian. You idiot.

Haruka blushes madly and is about to tackle Benji.

Kyo K.: And hold his head underwater for about five minutes. If he lives, keep going.

"What you are doing on the men's side!" Benji asks recovering from the impact of the naked girls.

Manic: Remember, he has a stack of nudie magazines in the open. Remember that.

"You are on the women's side!" Haruka shouts at him. "I am not!" Benji replies. "I entered by the men's dressing room!"

Benimaru: Don't you mean the little boys room, since you were acting like a giant baby in the last chapter?
Sonia: If we have to feed him, I'm not making the airplane noises.

"Hold a second!" Yaten says. "You entered by the men's dressing room. And we entered by the women's dressing room. It means that…" "This is a mix spring." Michiru finishes reaching to the same conclusion. Yaten nods. Haruka is angry but she holds back her will to attack Benji, since both aren't dressed for it.

Axl: Look, as much as I want Haruka to beat the tar out of the Stu... why is she acting so OOC and wanting to beat him at every opportunity?
Kyo K.: You know why, Spikes. Stu warped everyone.

"You mean that we have to take a bath with him?" Hotaru asks blushing deeply from the dressing room.

Miyu: Can I take one after he leaves?
Rory: After he leaves the spring?
Miyu: No, after he leaves Tokyo. No, more like after he leaves this dimension.

"Yes. Since it is a mixed spring Benji can take baths here as well we can." Michiru answers moving to sit on a stall and begins to wash herself. "He is used to see us in our senshis clothes. From there to nakedness is a small step." Michiru says. "Benji can you please look away while we wash?"

Kyo L.: You have some nerve to say that, Pod Michiru.

Benji turns to face the other side. "I think that I can take a bath later." Benji says beginning to get up. "You will stay put. I am sure that you know that public bathing is normal in Japan. Besides it is nothing that you haven't seen before in others." Michiru says to him. "Come in Hotaru." She adds to the shorter brunette. Yaten is a bit surprised. But she understands. Besides her senshi clothes are skimpy too and her towel has much more fabric than the senshi clothes.

Manic: But the women get no fanservice from him!
Axl: Ugh. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to put on a show for him or something.
Kyo K.: Don't start. I think I threw up like... five times from that Bleepka bender. I don't need a sixth.
Benimaru: Or a tenth. *mimics Miyu pushing her glasses up* Oh, my!
Kyo K.: Shut up, Beni.

The senshi sits besides Michiru and begins to wash too. Hotaru seeing the two doing moves to do the same. Haruka mutters few things and does the same.

Sonia: *flatly* Thrilling.

Few minutes later the five of them are inside the large spring. Benji is trying very hard to not look at the senshis bodies and getting an erection dressed only in a towel.

Miyu: Permission to vomit?
Manic: *hands Miyu a barf bag* Permission granted.

But that don't prevent the girls' of doing that on him. Hotaru steal glances at him and blushes seeing his hard chest covered with a layer of hair.

All: ...
Kyo K.: I really do not want to spill my guts in front of you guys again.

Yaten looks at him discretely since she positioned herself to be able to look at him with out calling attention. Michiru take few glances. But after their little night affair she is familiar with Benji's body. Haruka steals small glances with a mix of curiosity, disgust and attraction.

Kyo L.: So. *pours some Bleepka on himself, lights himself on fire* Anyone want a flaming LeMaire special?
Sonia: And that's oddly more entertaining than this fic.

"What are those marks in yours skin?" Yaten asks to Benji. "Where?" Benji asks looking at the senshi. "Over your chest." Yaten replies. Hotaru looks at Benji's chest carefully now and sees the mark. A circular patch of lighter skin.

Axl: Kyo, did you burn a middle finger into the Stu's chest?
Kyo L., Kyo K.: No!

"This is what remained from a bad wound that I got from a demon." Benji answers. "The first wound that I gained when fighting my first demon with Hotaru."

Rory: Oh, great. Now we're going to have those "sexy" scars, huh?

Hotaru recognized it before he answered. She thought that she even healed the scar but she was wrong. And Hotaru moves closer and looks at Benji's chest. "You got many like that." She says seeing more than a handful of lighter lines or small areas of lighter skin hidden behind his chest hair.

Benimaru: So we're going to spend the next few paragraphs looking at his scars? No wonder this is a filler chapter.

"Well that is normal considering that we fight demons and sometimes we do get hit." Benji replies a bit uncomfortable with Hotaru close scrutiny. Michiru knows why she hasn't noticed before, she was too busy getting to know other parts of him with certain parts of her.

Kyo L.: Oh, fuck this fic. *burns into an ash pile*
Kyo K.: *promptly lights himself on fire*
Manic: Well, that's a first.
Kyo K.: Hey, it's a lot less painful than this fic, Pineapple. Besides, I'm used to doing this.
Miyu: Oh, that much is obvious, Mr. Kusanagi. *pours water on Kyo L.'s ashes*
Kyo L.: *reforms, coughs* Gah. Thanks, Miyu.

Yaten never saw Benji chest before so she couldn't compare. But she understands that she is lucky that she doesn't have any scars on her even being a senshi.

Sonia: It's a magical girl series. Scars aren't really a thing there.

"I am leaving now. Enjoy the bath ladies." Benji says excusing himself "I am not used to stay too long on this kind of baths." He leaves the bathing area and moves to the dressing room.

Rory: Yeah, especially because he's not used to... *points to his crotch* ...shrinkage.
Axl: Rory, you're the last person that I expected to say something like that.

After the dinner the group is relaxing on the recreation room of the inn. After sometime playing the group moves to the bedroom to rest. About one hour later Benji leaves the bedroom dressed with his usual sleeping attire, a pair of loose blue pants and a white t-shirt, he is holding a small belt bag with him. He walks to a balcony and sits over the rail looking far at the distant horizon on the clear autumn night. The night air is cool against his tanned skin.

Sonia: *kicks the Stu over the rail* Oops.
Benimaru: I'm not cleaning that up.

He stays in silence looking at the horizon for long minutes. "What you are doing wake so late?" A feminine voice asks. Benji recognizes the voice. "I couldn't sleep." Benji replies.

Manic: I couldn't eat.
Axl: And my sanity's gone.
Rory: And I'm feeling a lot dumber than usual.
Kyo K.: *smirks as his flames dissipate*That's a thing, Tech?
Rory: *grimaces*

"And what you are doing up Yaten?" the silver haired senshis that is wearing a gray masculine pajamas.

Miyu: Because we really needed to know if the items that Yaten wears were masculine or feminine.
Kyo L.: Stu sure loves putting them in boxes, eh?

"I am a light sleeper and when I heard you leaving and not returning I got curious if anything have happened." She replies blushing lightly, she moves to the rail and lean over it resting her arms over the rail.

Kyo L.: Are you kidding me? Yaten has a thing for the Stu, too?
Manic: Well, they all have to... or they're evil.

"What you are staring out on the night?" Yaten asks making conversation. "Nothing." Benji replies. He pulls an ear plug from his right ear and carefully places on her moving her air while doing so. The soft lyrics of the first ending song of Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Last Kiss.

Benimaru: *snickers*
Axl: And he's so deep with his anime music!
Sonia: Well, I'm not going to complain about that. I'm only complaning about how everyone needs to listen to the things that he listens to.
Miyu: *looks it up* Oh. The song's called "Last Kiss" from the anime "Sorcerous Stabber Orphen". Just in case you were confused by the punctuation errors there.

Yaten follow the cord and sees that he is with a belt bag on his waist and in there a CD player. "It is a nice song." Yaten says. Benji nods agreeing.

Rory: *as Yaten* I'm only saying that it's nice so you won't torment me later.

They stay there for half hour in silence hearing the songs of Benji's CD player before they move back to the bedroom. "Too bad that the time here is so short, this place is really good." Yaten say as they walk on the dark halls. "We have two more days and two more nights before leaving. So let's enjoy the most of it as we can." Benji replies. Yaten nods agreeing in making the best of the small vacation that she gained.

Kyo L.: So if the days and nights keep going like they were written by Sonic, this fic will end, right?
Sonia: Hopefully.

On the next morning the small group decides to go sightseeing on the small and ancient looking village of the inn. And Hotaru asked to visit an ancient naginata style dojo.

Manic: And they didn't take Jayleen along?
Axl: She would've whipped him to the next year and back with her own naginata, anyway.

She gained interest over spear like weapons after Benji's arrival and them daily spars. They go visit it with curiosity. Specially Benji and Hotaru.

Miyu: Of course she has to like what he likes. And about her original best friend, Chibiusa?
Rory: Who's Chibiusa?
Miyu: Usagi and Mamoru's daughter, Rory. Now that I think about it, the Stuthor would've bashed her to the next century. Never mind, then.

Yaten is curious over it too. In the dojo Hotaru saw students practicing and gained from the dojo master a half hour of basic training that was changed to semi-advanced one since seeing Hotaru still with the weapon thanks to her daily trainings with her glaive. Michiru and Haruka felt proud when the master praised Hotaru skill. And Michiru took lots of pictures.

Kyo K.: Hey, hey, you're doing it wrong, old man. You're supposed to be praising the Stu for existing. That's how these things work.

Hotaru beamed up and made sure to say that was the daily spars with Benji that helped her to get better. The master trains a bit with Benji. Seeing that he got a good skill, a bit before the adept level. Thought Hotaru is on the semi-professional level. But the fact that Benji tends to be very fierce and unpredictable gives the leverage on the master eyes to keep up with a natural fighter as Hotaru on her level.

Sonia: And Kyo gets a cookie.
Kyo K.: Hey, it was obvious. Fic can't go two seconds without praising that doofus.

After the visit Hotaru left the dojo filled with pride because she gained a booklet with few techniques that she will eagerly learn to try on Benji.

Sonia: And what if she accidentally injures him?
Benimaru: Sure. "Accidentally". Let's go with that.

And the taller brunette leaves content since he gained a handful of advices in how improve his technique. They stop to have some tea with Japanese sweets. Hotaru chuckles when as usually Benji frowns at the first sip of the very bitter Japanese tea.

Miyu: You know, I would actually like this fic if it felt a lot more... calm and regular like this.
Axl: Yeah, too bad. I mean, that scene can't erase the sexism...
Kyo L.: Character bashing...
Rory: And the rape. *shudders*

Later they visited a store specialized in making sweets. Michiru is taking many pictures and gladly takes the offer in trying baking some. The aquamarine haired senshi pays close attention in how it is baked and prepared. The day is expended in visiting many sights. They return to the inn feeling tired but glad over the day.

And after the third night they return to Tokyo. The other senshis question the group with a furious intensity. Few boxes of candies keep them all busy while they give them a small version of the trip and the sights.

Manic: Yeah. My brother really wrote this part.
Kyo K.: Well, at least it's not filler filled filler.

Tokyo October tenth 2004

One month passed with out any major worries. All the youma attacks were easily repelled by the eleven senshis, one Tuxedo mask and one Kaosu.

Benimaru: And Kaosu Stu didn't put himself first?
Sonia: He's trying to be humble again.
Benimaru: *chuckles* That's a funny joke.

Michiru began to get along better with Haruka. But by the blonde face is clear that the aquamarine haired senshi strike hasn't ended yet.

Kyo L.: Seriously. Let the useless grudge go, Pod Michiru. You're looking more and more like an idiot the longer you're going on with this "strike".
Kyo K.: It went on for an extra month, Fox Clone.
Kyo L.: Oh. Okay, then she's a damn idiot.

Benji is taking a course of prosthetic in a specialized on it during the nights, since the youma attacks are more frequent during the day.

Axl: I know, I know, English isn't his first language... but I couldn't understand that sentence.
Sonia: I think that... he's going to night school?
Miyu: Well! That's interesting.

Benji is one of the empty rooms once used as a storage room converted in a small workshop for him doing his homework. In other words he is making provisory replacement for people who lost four of the lowers molars. He is using a white lab coat covered with resin dust as he removes the sharp edges from the provisory with a small whip engine.

Manic: Wait, there's another normal scene? Seriously, this fic would be pretty decent if we had more of this stuff and he wasn't a giant spotlight hogging jerk.

On the kitchen Michiru is fixing a large birthday meal with Makoto, while Haruka and Hotaru decorate the back yard. After half hour Michiru asks to Makoto calls Benji to aid them. The brown haired senshi nod and moves to the Brazilian's workshop. "Benji Michiru asked to you help us!" Makoto says in a cherry tone and cheerfully.

Rory: A "cherry" tone? Well, my tones are usually minty... like the bonbons that my mom sent me!
Sonia: *takes a bonbon* Better hide them from Tails.
Rory: I should hide them from you, candy thief.
Sonia: *playfully sticks her tongue out*

Surprised Benji grip on the provisory slips as he was polishing it on a table engine.

A loud bang is hear when the strong resin hits the metal of the engine back and flies past Benji head. Makoto closes her eyes when seeing the projectile moving in a high speed in her direction. But it never made it. She opens her eyes and sees Benji closed hand in front of her less than twenty centimeters away.

Benimaru: *woodenly* Comedy.
Everyone else: *woodenly* My sides.

"That was close." He says to her. "Why you haven't knocked?" Makoto blushes. "I forgot." She replies embarrassed. "That was dangerous." He says looking at the provisory. Seeing no damage he moves to the engine. "You were saying something when entering." "Michiru asked you to help us." Makoto says. "She said that you are good in working with chocolate."

Manic, Axl: Poop isn't chocolate. *looks at each other in a confused manner*
Miyu: Great minds think alike...

"I have some experience." He replies tossing the provisory on the balcony and shutting off the engine. He dusts himself and gently pushes Makoto from the workshop with a couple of light slaps on her derriere, she blushes while jumping forward and chuckles excited but happy with the gesture.

All: *glares at the screen*
Sonia: I should kick you in your horny head.
Benimaru: *facepalms* Stu... you really need to learn how to treat the ladies like people.
Kyo L.: This ain't the sixties. Stop being gross.
Miyu: Also, this is Makoto. She would've tossed him on his back for that. But hey, this is a Stu fic. *sighs*

On the kitchen Benji washes his hands and Michiru checks him for anything dirty.

Rory: Did you check his empty head? The one that's on his shoulders, I mean.
Kyo K.: Oh, that's been empty, Tech. It's emptier than yours.
Rory: *scowls* Yeah, thanks for the compliment, Kyo.

She nods with approval and allows him to work on his lab coat since have the same function of hers and Makoto's aprons.

Miyu: No, no, no! That is unsanitary! You make him take that off and wear that apron! What is wrong with you nitwits?
Axl: *sarcastically* But aprons are girly things, Miyu! The big strong man isn't supposed to wear a dumb, frilly, girly apron!

"I wanted that you made for us those bonbons that you did for Hotaru when she tried to make some to give to her teacher on her birthday a while ago." Michiru says to the ninja.

Axl: No, my sister's a ninja. This is just some guy with a giant vampire sword who thinks that he's a ninja.

"You want the ones of brigadeiro or the ones of cajuzinho?" Benji asks to Michiru, and then a smile appears on his lips. "Or you want that cherry and brigadeiro combo that you lusted when I made it.

Kyo K.: Please don't say "lust". It's just not sexy when you say it.

Hotaru is still wondering why I haven't placed any of them on the box for her teacher." Michiru blushes deeply at his words.

Sonia: That's what causes you to blush? Simple words like those?
Kyo L.: Hey, let me try that! *turns to Miyu* Miyu, I checked the mail this morning, and the box was empty.
Miyu: *pretends to blush* Oh, Kyo!

"I would like some of those too." She says just above an embarrassed whisper.

"Bought the condensated milk?" Benji asks. Michiru nods showing ten cans of it on the balcony. "Cherries, peanuts, milk cream, granulated chocolate, butter with no salt, half bitter chocolate and milk chocolate?" Benji asks. "Yes to all." Michiru says "They are all on that side of the balcony." She points near of the cans. "Okay now I need three pans, two spoons and three glass bowls." Benji says.

Rory: Uh, so the rest of the chapter's just going to be him cooking? I thought that that was a "girly" thing!
Manic: I'd rather have that instead of the dumb SPM show.

Michiru nods and they begin to work Makoto looks with awe while Benji prepares the two Brazilian sweets and melts the chocolate to make the bonbons. While the sweets cool off Benji pours half the bitter chocolate on the third bowl, also adds some of the milk chocolate and one can of milk cream. He stirs it until it became a thick, smooth and velvet like paste. Michiru is making small balls with the brigadeiro and Makoto is making the same with the cajuzinho. Michiru rolls the sweet on the granulated chocolate and Makoto is doing the same on sugar.

Benimaru: Did we really need a giant paragraph for this? Now it's just plain filler.
Kyo K.: So can I just go to sleep?
Benimaru: Enjoy your five minute nap.

They chat while Benji dries the maraschino cherries and make a tasty paste with the sweet liquid and a very thin sweet baking sugar. Pouring chocolate in a mold Benji makes thin covers to pour the paste. Benji makes small brigadeiro disks and fill them with a cherry each. Then he coves with the truffle and baths it in chocolate. Keeping them far from Michiru slender hands. She pouts seeing the bonbons far from her reach. She is about to say something when Benji places one on her mouth. Michiru lithe up and eats the bonbon.

Axl: Rory?
Rory: This fic just ruined bonbons for me... for about five seconds. *eats a bonbon* You're not gonna stop me from enjoying my minty chocolate, fic!

Benji hands one to Makoto. She eats it too. "It is really good." She says munching it. "Thanks." Benji replies continuing to make more.

Manic: Are they poisoned?
Benimaru: Only the ones that he's going to eat.

Soon they have filled three large trays with many bonbons. Makoto is glad that Benji allowed her to clean the pan with the brigadeiro.

Kyo L.: Hope that's not a term for his--
Sonia: No, it isn't!

Hotaru is doing the same with the cajuzinho. Haruka is left with the chocolates bowls by the two. And Benji is fending off Michiru advances on the bonbons, since the senshi is trying to get all the cherry combo ones.

Kyo K.: I'm surprised that she isn't trying to get the Stu.
Sonia: Well, that's because she's not alone with him.

Hotaru chuckles now understanding why there wasn't any for her teacher. "Michiru-mama ate them all during the night." Hotaru whispers chuckling, Makoto chuckles too. The doorbell rings and Haruka opens. The inners, the stars and they princess are there.

Rory: Yay, it's Princess No-Name!

They enter happy birthday wishes are given to Ami. The party begins and gifts are given to Ami. She is quite amused in seeing Benji in a lab coat.

Sonia: Manic.
Manic: Yeah?
Sonia: Give me a hacksaw.
Manic: Impromptu surgery, sis?
Sonia: *shifts eyes* Yes. Surgery.
Miyu: Wait... are they celebrating her birthday a month late? Ami's birthday is on September 10.
Axl: Who cares about consistency and research when there's a Stu to fawn over!

The party goes well, but Benji is wondering why Yaten is on his true form and not like her brothers on their male form.

Benimaru: *slowly* Stu. It's because. She likes. You. Duh.

Ami is curious over Benji's works over that area. The doctor on her is truly curious over the profession that he chose. Benji and Ami chat a bit over it.

Axl: *bored* Thrilling.

Later the party is over and everyone but the outers and Benji left.

Kyo K.: *flatly* That was the most detailed thing that I've ever read here. I was truly on the edge of my seat during that scene.

Michiru and Benji are cleaning up the tables. Haruka is washing the dishes and Hotaru is sweeping the yard. After leaving the house reasonably clean by Michiru high standards they rest. Michiru sits on the sofa with the remaining cherry combo bonbons eating them while seeing her favorite soap opera.

Rory: When did Michiru turn into Sonia on a sick day?
Sonia: *sarcastically* Because that's what we women do, Rory. We all turn into Peg Bundy.
Axl: And now we've recycled our Peg Bundy joke. Thanks, fic.

Hotaru is unpleased with her mother monopoly of the cherry bonbons. The brunette is about to argue with her mother when she feels a light pat on her shoulder. She turns and sees Benji smiling at her. He holds both of her hands together and makes a bowl with them and with his other hand he places a small bag on them. He opens it and Hotaru beams up seeing the bonbons. Benji touches her lips with his index finger. Hotaru nods and don't say a thing.

Kyo L.: Well, I'll give credit where credit's due. He did hide some for her.

She gives him a peck on the cheek and moves to her own room to savor the bonbons alone with out worries of her mother taking them from her. Benji munches one of the brigadeiro filled bonbons and moves to his workshop to finish the provisory.

End of the chapter five:

Manic: *stretches* Oh, good. Another one down.
Kyo K.: Four more to go. And that's four too many.
Miyu: Well, on the other hand, I'd rather have these bland chapters instead of the more infuriating ones.
Kyo K.: That's also true. At least that gives me a free nap.
