Mikoto couldn't sleep that night. 

She rolled back and forth in her bed as  she heard Saber's own slow and steady breathing in a nearby bed.. 

Mikoto debated maybe turning on the tv quietly and letting the boring late night programs lull her to sleep. 

Then she decide that was probably not the best option due to the fact that the light might wake Saber up. 

Truth of the matter was she was nervous..

What she was nervous about she wasn't sure? Was that normal? Just be nervous without any source of the nerves? Just what in the world was going through her head?

Was it Jade who made her nervous? His servant Vader? Her cousin Stacy? Or was it the fact that there hadn't been a single day since they came to New York that something absolutely crappy hadn't happened. 

Mikoto couldn't take it in some ways. She was afraid that something else bad was going to happen every time she turned around

Not to mention there seemed to be something moving under her blankets.. grabbing her legs... WAIT A MINUTE WHAT!?

Mikoto whipped the sheets off to see none other then Mordred, hugging her legs, snoozing and grinning in her sleep. 

"Oh Clarent... I missed you.. I mean I know I stole you.. but we both know it's me you've always wanted.. whose a good sword.. yes you are.. yes you are.. YYYYYEEESSS you are.."

Mikoto sighed and poked Mordred in the forehead. 

"Mmmnnnnff.. nnnrrrrfff hah?"

Mordred opened her eyes. "Oh!! Huh? M.. MIKOTO!!"

Mordred went red and jumped out of the bed. "I.. I was just.. uh.. doing... Science.."

Mordred ran away really quickly.. leaving Mikoto to sit in her bed.. now more awake then ever.

She needed a walk. 

After a brief and refreshing hot shower, Mikoto walked out into the dimly lit lobby of the Chaldea building scratching her back sleepily, wearing a bathrobe, a cup of milk in one hand and a Percy Jackson novel in the other, intending to spend the rest of the night before morning reading. 

As she began to sit down on one of the couches nearby..  She thought she caught a glimmer of gold nearby.. but thought nothing of it... until the glimmer of gold spoke.

"Greetings Mikoto.. good to see you again.. you beautiful bird.."

Mikoto looked up to see Gilgamesh sitting opposite her..

"Yo!"

"EEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Mikoto screamed at the top of her lungs and fired a lightning bolt from her bangs, sending a surprised and bewildered Gilgamesh blasting into the wall nearby.

"WHOOOAAA!! WHOAAAA!!" Gilgamesh stammered standing up and holding up his hands, his armor smoking and crackling from the blast. "I'm not here to hurt you!! I'm just here to- WHAMMM!!"

Mikoto had just hit him in the face with a frying pan.

"WHERE DID YOU GET A FRYING PAN!?" Gilgamesh stammered. 

"I DON'T KNOW!!" Mikoto screamed as she began repeatedly hitting Gilgamesh in the face with the frying pan. 

Gilgamesh swatted the pan away irritably. "Look I'm not here to hurt you, I'm just here to-.."

"I DON'T CARE!! GET OFF GET AWAY!!" Mikoto screamed, pulling out an arcade coin in preparation for a Railgun attack

"Okay.. THAT might actually hurt.." Gilgamesh said, grabbing Mikoto's wrist with the intention of stopping her..

But Gilgamesh had grabbed Mikoto's sleeve and as Mikoto struggled to get away, the entire bathrobe  slipped right off, and as Mikoto was wearing it right after the bath..

Mikoto gaped, as Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow. "Oops..

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!" Mikoto screamed, covering her chest. "PERVERRRRT!!!"

"Now I can solve that easily." said Gilgamesh, picking up Mikoto's robe. "Not that you need any clothes to be good looking.. heheheh.. WHOOPS!!"

Gilgamesh slipped on the book Mikoto had dropped and fell right on top of her... just as Mordred and Okita were hurrying down the stairs to see what the problem was. 

Mordred's jaw dropped.. as they saw Gilgamesh on top of Mikoto, his hand on Mikoto's right breast. 

"Oh.." Gilgamesh muttered.

"UUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mordred screamed furiously. "HOWWWW DAAAAARRREEE YOUUUUUUU!!! I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR SPINE OUT OF YOUR BODY AND USE IT TO WHIP YOUR BUTT NAKED BODY UNTIL YOU"RE NOTHING BUT RAW ORGANS DANGLING OFF FLESH!!!!!!"

Mordred jumped screaming on Gilgamesh, going absolutely ballistic and trying to gouge out his eyes. 

"MMMMMFFF MMMMMMFFF!!" Gilgamesh let out muffled cries as he stood up, Mordred clinging to his face. 

"HOLD IT HOLD IT!!" Okita roared. "Mikoto are you alright?" 

"Uh.. uh.." Mikoto stammered, grabbing her robe and pulling it back on. "I.. think so.. but.. I'm finding it odd that somebody as powerful as Gilgamesh isn't fighting back.."

"BECAUSE I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU!!" Gilgamesh roared irritably as he wrenched Mordred off his head like a weird sock hat and threw her to the side. 

"SAYS THE PERVERT WHO.. WHO.. AAAARRRGGHH!!" Mordred screamed. "Nobody.. NOBODY TAKES MY MIKOTO AND STRIPS HER LIKE AN ANIMAL YOU PIG!!"

"Your Mikoto? Do I see any seal of ownership on her?" Gilgamesh said with a chuckle. 

"IT'S ON ME DINGUS!! IT'S CALLED A COMMAND SPELL!!" Mordred roared, showing Gilgamesh the Master Mark on her hand. 

"In any case, I believe that the only reason you're her master is because she chose you to be her master correct? Which means.. there's always a chance she can choose another." said Gilgamesh.  "And speaking of which.. I think it's time we discussed why I'm here.. Ms. Misaka.."

Gilgamesh folded his arms regally and sat down on one of the lobby's couches. "As her friends, you are welcome to sit and join our discussion.. please.. "

Gilgamesh held out a hand as if to allow them to sit..  

"Royal douche.." Mordred muttered, but curiosity won out, and the three girls sat down. 

"What do you want?" asked Mikoto.  "I've got a date with somebody and his name is Percy Jackson.

"Wait.. WHAT!? Whose this Percy Jackson!?" Mordred stammered, pink patches on her cheeks.

"A fictional character in a book Mordred.."

"Oh.. right! Hahaha.. I knew that."

"Well that's just it.." said Gilgamesh, smirking. "I want a date.. with you Mikoto. I'm sure you remember I expressed interest in you when we first met. "

"Vividly.." Mikoto muttered. "I wouldn't call it a good memory.. why wait till now to start asking me out?"

"Well there never was a good time was there?" said Gilgamesh. "I mean honestly, even the King that has EVERYTHING has a sense of tact to add onto his riches. You know I might have been a bit of a tyrant at some point, but if you read the legends you'll know that I learned my lesson and became beloved by my people.. "

"Somehow I think the legends were embellished a bit." said Mikoto. 

"in any case.. " said Gilgamesh. "The truth of the matter is Mikoto.. you're unlike any woman I've ever met. I've had plenty of those.. as King, I had many wives, and I hoped to make your mother Arturia one of those wives one day too.. however, they didn't hold the same sway over me that you do.. I even admit, if I managed to get Arturia, I would've lost interest in her quickly, it was all about the chase with her, not the obtaining.. you on the other hand.."

Gilgamesh held up a hand. "I feel myself... tremble when I see you.. your grace, your strength.. your conviction and your humanity combined.. I find myself drawn to you in a way that makes me feel.. vulnerable almost.  I find myself wondering if this is what it means to be in love for the first time."

Mikoto edged away on her seat nervously. This was a sort of honesty she did not expect from the King of Heroes. 

Okita also looked immensely nervous too, and Mikoto could get a gist why. In her Samurai Self's lifetimes, Mikoto had never dated, much less gone out with somebody like this..

Mordred however, looked completely at ease.

Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow at Mordred, noticing this. "Well.. the one I feel who'd have the most to say about this development isn't saying a thing.."

"HA!" Mordred grinned. "I know Mikoto like the back of my hand.."

"That she does." said Mikoto.

"And I know that you're TOTALLY not her type." said Mordred. "She wouldn't agree to date you in a thousand years!!  Why the hell should I feel threatened by you? You golden piece of shit."

"Because none can resist me in the end, many have tried.." said Gilgamesh. "I must say.. even you might want to try me at some point... how about it Mordred Pendragon? Care to be one of my wives?"

Mordred wrinkled her face in disgust. "Uh... no.."

"Besides.. I'm making an offer Mikoto can't refuse." said Gilgamesh.

"Um... wrong.. watch me refuse really quick.. " said Mikoto. "I refuse.. See? Just did it."

"if you accompany me, I will reveal a good amount of Sauron's plans for winning the Grail." said Gilgamesh. 

There was a silence.

"You're lying." said Mordred scathingly. "Come on Mikoto.. let's call Mash, or whatever other bouncer this place has and kick this piece of trash out."

"Hold it.." said Mikoto. "Mordred.. you KNOW this isn't something we can just look the other way on.."

"WHAT!?" said Mordred. "Are you kidding me? You're actually considering golden douche's deal?"

"Gilgamesh doesn't lie.. I know that much about him." said Mikoto. "And as far as things go, Sauron has had a very large advantage over us from the get go..  if there's information that can help us stop him.. I'm willing to bare a few moments with an arrogant king to get that info.."

"Sister.." said Okita. "I admire your drive and self sacrifice. But.. consider your loved ones too.. How would Arturia feel about you accepting something like this..? This man, I'm sure she told you.. he once kidnapped Arturia, and stood against Shirou, a man who sacrificed himself to give you a chance at life.. are you REALLY willing to place your trust in a person like this?"

Mikoto considered this. She knew Okita wasn't trying to guilt trip her or anything, she was just making sure Mikoto thought things through, considering all her options.

"Yeah.. guess I am." said Mikoto. "Fine.. I'll go on a date with you.. ONE date.. no more.."

Gilgamesh smiled. "Very well. I assure you.. this date will be one that is worthy of The Princess Knight of Camelot.. or as they call you in Academy City.. the  Electric Princess."

"Stop trying to flatter me with titles and just get out of here already." Mikoto muttered. 

"I'll pick you up at 7.." said Gilgamesh with a chuckle as he stood up and walked out. 

As Gilgamesh stepped out the door, Smaug was waiting for him, in her human form, leaning next to the door, scowling.

"So.. adding a woman to your hoard of gold now are we?" said Smaug. "Such foolishness. "

"She is different.. I will not be putting her on a pile of gold.. but on a pedestal of rubies and the finest jewels known to man." said Gilgamesh. "This is a quest unlike any other I have ever taken. All my other labors have been to slay or to achieve.. to search for immortality.. but now.. I search for something far stronger.. the love of a woman."

"Oh ... Firedrakes of the North.. you are hopeless." Smaug muttered.

"Now I just need a wingman.. say Smaug would you-?"

"No.." Smaug growled, flames hissing from her teeth. 

"oh.. let's try that again.." said Gilgamesh, grinning craftily as a Gate of Babylon Portal opened up, and out poured a large mound of gold and rubies.

Smaug stared at the gold, her eyes wide, her jaw dropping.. a bit of drool coming down. "E.. eh?"

"You know I'm good for it.." said Gilgamesh. 

"Oh screw you.." whispered Smaug as God Fever made sweat poured down her face. 

***********************

"So what are your plans for after school?" A mage in training chatted animatedly with her friend as kids strolled out of the gated fence that hid the entrance to the Mage Academy.

"Ehhh..  I don't know, maybe I'll go down to Montauk beach for a bit.. feels like it's been ages. " said the friend. "Oh.. how about you Mikoto?"

Mikoto, who was passing by, holding her bag over her shoulder, adjusting the tie on her uniform, smiled nervously. "Me? Well.. I guess I have a date today.."

"OOOOHH who is it?"

"Beep beep!" the sound of a car horn sounded out. 

Gilgamesh was sitting in the driver's seat of a Ferrari, grinning, wearing a black jacket, appearing very handsome indeed, but smug as usual.

"Mikoto! I hope you don't mind.. but I thought I'd start an hour early.."

Mikoto sighed. "Alright alright.. I'm coming.."

"Whoa.. he's hot.." said one girl. 

"Trust me, there are a billion better men out there." Mikoto muttered.

"Then why are you going out with him?"

"Cause Grail Wars." Mikoto muttered as she got into the shotgun seat next to Gilgamesh. 

"You and I are in for a good time." said Gilgamesh.

"Really? Are you going to lock your mouth and never open it again?"

"No.."

"Then I sincerely doubt it." said Mikoto.

Gilgamesh laughed. "I love it when they play hard to get. "

Gilgamesh drove for a little.. Mikoto looked around as he drove, wondering what he had planned. 

To be honest, Mordred's dates, and the fake date that she once went on with Touma to get a guy off her back (who later turned out to be a murderous magician who fell in love with her.. long story, he was now working with Accelerator in some mercenary group)  were the only dates she ever went on.. so all she had to go on were what Mordred had done.. 

And she had to admit, Mordred was VERY good at romancing.. 

However.. Gilgamesh.. this was uncharted territory. 

Soon.. they found themselves driving out of New York.. and after a long drive, they found themselves on the very beach that one Academy student had mentioned.. 

Montauk Beach.. overlooking a beautiful Sunset.

A massive garden filled with roses, tulips and other strange exotic plants had somehow grown mysteriously in the middle of the beach itself. with a cobblestone road leading to the middle fo the garden, where a white umbrella stood over a lavish marble table with red tablecloth. topped with fine china and a basket filled with ice and wine bottles. 

Gilgamesh took Mikoto by the hand and helped her out of the car. "Well well... it seems we're here.. but you can't possibly come in such drab clothes.. allow me to.. lend a hand.."

A Gate of Babylon portal lit up under Mikoto's feet, and phased over her in a strange manner.. and before she knew it.. her clothes had been swapped out for a sparkling black strapless dress with gloves and black shoes.

"Uh.. wow.. didn't know you could do that, but I'm gonna need that uniform back." said Mikoto, as Gilgamesh changed into a black suit in a flash. 

"Now where's the fun in that?" said Gilgamesh as he pulled out a chair for Mikoto to sit on.  "Please..  the food should be ready shortly. I've rented out the entire beach for us.. we shouldn't be disturbed.."

Gilgamesh picked up a bottle of wine as Mikoto picked up what looked like a menu and stared at it.

" wine?" said Gilgamesh. 

"I don't drink." said Mikoto. "underage."

"You know.. there was no such term in Sumeria when I ruled." said Gilgamesh with a chuckle as he poured some wine into Mikoto's glass. "And I assure you this wine.. is unlike any you would ever have tasted in this time.. from my very stores you know..  I once shared this type of wine with Iskandar and your mother.. during one of the Grail Wars years ago.. I'm sure you'll find it delicious."

"Okay." Mikoto muttered, taking the glass as Gilgamesh poured himself a generous amount and sat down. 

"So.. as our food is prepared.. I would like to ask." said Gilgamesh. "What makes you.. you? Spare no detail.. your family.. where you were born.."

"Which me? This world or the other?"

"This world.. it's the you I first met after all." said GIlgamesh, holding up his glass. 

Mikoto wasn't sure what else to do, so she decided to play along for now. She went into a little detail about herself.. talking about her parents, how she became a Level Five..   but she left out as many personal things as she could, saying nothing about Iselia's experiments, how Touma saved her Sisters, or how she and Saber met and became close. 

Gilgamesh seemed to know that Mikoto wasn't sharing everything, but he didn't pry. Mikoto was determined not to be fooled by this gentlemanly act however. She knew deep underneath was a spoiled brat who believed himself to be entitled to anything and everything.

"So.." Mikoto said, thinking that maybe getting Gilgamesh to brag about himself might make sure he used up all the time in the date and didn't leave time for anything else. "Tell me about yourself now.. "

"Very kind.. but you already know all about me.. I'm Gilgamesh after all.. my legends are everywhere.. so much everywhere that your own Cousin sought to give herself powers similar to my own..  I doubt there's any legend about me you don't know.."

In her head, Mikoto groaned, Gilgamesh was right. She DID know everything about him. Being a student who studied history extensively in her classes at Tokiwadai

"Oh would you look at that.. our Server is here.."  said Gilgamesh.

Mikoto nearly spat out her own saliva in shock as Smaug walked out, in her human form.. dressed in a maid's outfit, carrying a notepad 

"If you DARE say anything about this.." Smaug whispered into Mikoto's ear as she approached. "I'll roast you alive right here."

Mikoto gulped and nodded. 

"Now.. may I take your order?" Smaug said in her normal voice.

"Aw.. come on.. you're a cute maid aren't you?" said Gilgamesh. "Put some gusto into it.. say it like... 'May I take your orders senpai!? And do it very cute-like."

"FUCKING ORDER SOMETHING!!" Smaug roared, her eyes turning to slits as her teeth grew into fangs and flames gushed out. 

"Fine fine.. I'll take the Den Design Cheeseburger.. " 

"Den design.. wait a minute." Mikoto looked at her menu. "These... are all stuff from my favorite diner in Academy City.. How did you..?"

"I have studied you extensively. As I said before.. you're not like any woman I've ever gone after. I don't intend to make just ANY wife.. I plan to make you THE wife.. my favorite wife. Isn't that an honor?"

"You.. don't know how to romance a 21st century woman do you?" Mikoto muttered, her eye twitching. 

"Hmm.. apparently not." said Gilgamesh casually as he sipped a little wine. "But I'll learn.. you can teach me.. oh yes, and Smaug, if you would get her the Geko Special Bento.. she always orders that."

As Smaug walked off to what appeared to be an outdoor kitchen in the middle of the beach, Gilgamesh chuckled. "Believe it or not.. her human self.. before she became a servant, was a incredible cook, with dreams to open her own restaurant. A pity her brother cared more about making her obedient than letting her pursue her dreams."

"Wait.. human self!?" Mikoto stammered, looking at Smaug.

"Yes.. Smaug is in fact a Demiservant.. though through special circumstances, she became more Smaug than her original self. But enough of this sad subject, I wish to know more about you.. yes.. tell me about your friends.. "

Mikoto immediately felt an incredible sense of pity for Smaug. She had no idea. She had just assumed that Smaug was a 100 percent Servant who had become the female reincarnation of a fictional dragon.. 

After they were served their food, Mikoto tried to eat in silence, but Gilgamesh wouldn't stop asking questions.. 

It sort of annoyed her how much of a gentleman Gilgamesh was during the date. She could see how multiple women had fallen for him despite his incredible ego. He knew how to lay down the charm. 

And it didn't help that he was unbelievably handsome too. 

Mikoto felt it was very possible to develop a crush on Gilgamesh, but not any feeling of romance like she admitadly had for Mordred or Touma. 

Gilgamesh didn't exude any feeling of trust or safety, like she would feel around the other two. Around Touma or Mordred she couldn't help but feel safe and at ease. Around Gilgamesh she felt like she was a toy on display in his treasury. 

When dinner was finished, Mikoto overall felt relieved. Finally this was over. 

"Alright. I guess you can probably take me home now..." Mikoto began. "And maybe give me back my uniform.."

"Are you kidding?" said GIlgamesh, smiling at the night around them... torchlight in the garden being the only source of light. "I believe it's time for the main part of the date. Oh.. this always knocked them out.. "

Another Gate of Babylon portal shift over Mikoto and Mikoto squeaked with horror when she found herself in a black bikini. "WHAT THE HECK!?"

Gilgamesh had changed into a pair of swimming trunks.. and before they knew it.. the table disappeared instantly.. and Mikoto found herself sitting in a large lit up hot spring.. surrounded by beautiful white rocks..  with a lion's head statue pouring steaming hot water from it's mouth into the spring. 

Gilgamesh's arm was around her bare shoulders.. 

"Well.. outdid myself did I?" said Gilgamesh with a wink.

This was WAY too far.

"This date is over!" Mikoto said sternly, pushing Gilgamesh's arm off her shoulder. "Take me home! And give me back my goddamn clothes!!"

"Very well.. if you don't wish to know what London Faction is planning." Said Gilgamesh

Mikoto froze, then sighed. "Fine.. fine.."

Gilgamesh put his arm back around Mikoto's shoulder as she turned her head away, desperate to ignore him. 

If she was honest with herself.. this was sort of nice.. well it would be, if she didn't feel like she was in some sort of display case blocked off from the rest of the world, under puppet strings trailing from the fingers of one overly possessive Sumerian King. 

"You're trembling like a leaf.. is the water not warm enough?" said Gilgamesh. "I wouldn't want you to catch your death of cold, it is night time after all... "

"The water's pretty hot.." Mikoto muttered. "I'm fine."

"Now.. I understand that the tradition in this century is usually to wait and develop a relationship before marriage is taken.. but I would like you to consider a possible marriage to me as not just a romantic benefit, but a benefit for you and your family." said Gilgamesh. "I know all about the terrible things your cousin has put you through.. and the truth of the matter is, I find it quite horrible.. "

Mikoto eyed Gilgamesh suspiciously. "really?"

"Jeez.. looking at me like that." said Gilgamesh with a laugh. "I'm not evil you know.. I'm not good either I guess.. I'm what you might call neutral. However, I am liable to side with those who side with me."

As Gilgamesh said this his hand lowered until it was brushing near Mikoto's armpit.. around the side of her torso.. 

Mikoto shifted nervously.. growing more suspicious. 

"Thing is, I have power too. All the riches of Babylon are at my disposal. You see.. I have SO many riches that if somehow lost a million Noble Phantasms  instead of returning them through my gates.. it woudn't even rip up one percent of my very stores... I gathered so many riches that the vault of Babylon needed to be kept in a separate dimension."

Gilgamesh turned to look at Mikoto, and as he did his hand seemed to carelessly and innocently brush her inner thigh. 

"I could provide enough to feed Arturia for 20 centuries and still have enough left over to buy the world. Your friends would never want for anything again.. and you yourself could become a Queen at my side.. and together.. we could make sure Stacy never harmed you again.."

Gilgamesh leaned in closer, so his breath was on Mikoto's ear.

"Of course.." he whispered. "No harm would come to her after all.. I understand you still care for her in spite of all she has done.. I respect my wife's wishes after all.. I have only the best intentions for her.."

Gilgamesh's hand moved up into MIkoto's armpit, as his other one began to stroke her inner thigh more thoroughly. 

Mikoto finally understood what Gilgamesh was trying to do.. as his lips closed in towards hers.

"STOP STOP!!!" Mikoto screamed a giant spark exploding from her body, forcing Gilgamesh back.  "I... I'm not doing THAT with you!! Not even for information on London Faction!!"

"Now now.." said Gilgamesh, not at all perturbed, even looking like he expected this response and found it riveting. "We're both consenting adults.. what is the harm?"

"I'M 15!!!" Mikoto stammered. "THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL IN MOST COUNTRIES!!"

"And since when am I.. Gilgamesh.. the King of all.. subject to the laws of the land?" said Gilgamesh. "You need to learn to enjoy yourself Mikoto.. to enjoy life.. to glory in pleasures...  I who have everything under the sun, know that this is how life is truly made meaningful, for without pleasure, life is dull and stress.."

Gilgamesh put a hand under Mikoto's chin, pulling her gently closer. "So why can't we enjoy each other's company.. bodies.. love.. to the fullest extent right now?  It is pointless not to.. for all that comes out of not doing it is  nothing.. there is nothing to gain by not enjoying our pleasures.."

"Some of us live our lives for more than just pleasure." said Mikoto. "Some of us have responsibilities.. some of us have convictions.."

Gilgamesh's face lit up ecstatically. "That.. is what always drew me to your mother.. her convictions..  and here she has passed them to you.. you grow more riveting by the day.. "

Gilgamesh wrapped his arms around Mikoto's waist. "Come.. surrender to me, I will be gentle with you.. and you will find that life as a wife of Gilgamesh is better than any life possible."

"I want to go home now." said Mikoto sternly. "Get your hands off of me.. or I swear.. your nervous system is about to be completely gone thanks to over a billion volts coursing straight through your eye sockets. "

Gilgamesh held up his hands and backed off, smirking.

Mikoto knew it wasn't her threat that got him to back off, this was all a game to him, a game he thought he would inevitably win.

"I'd like my clothes back.. and I'd like to take a ride home.." Mikoto said. "if you know how to call a cab.. cause apparently my phone was in my uniform.. which you took. "

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers, and a portal opened up, so Mikoto's phone dropped into her hands. 

"I have a little something better and faster.." said Gilgamesh with a chuckle. "No worries... I can use the Gate of Babylon to pass you through my vault, and then open a portal from there into your room..  no rush, no fuss.  but.. you still do have a chance to get the information you need..  I understand you've never done what I was intending to do before... your first time... i respect that.. so I'll settle today for just a kiss.. if you give me that.. I'll give you the information you desire."

Mikoto heaved a sigh. "Sure.. fine.. one kiss.. "

Mikoto closed her eyes as Gilgamesh leaned in.. she braced herself for the worst as she smelled his fresh breath, and.. their lips met.

The kiss was brief, but Gilgamesh knew how to be passionate without actually moving passionately. Mikoto hated to admit it, but he was good at kissing... and the fact that she could even enjoy it slightly made her want to vomit. 

When Gilgamesh broke away, he whispered into Mikoto's ear. "Sauron can no longer tolerate New York Faction's interference in his plans.. he plans to take care of things personally.. he is coming here in a little bit of time..  those are his immediate plans.."

"I.. Immediate!?" Mikoto stammered. "I thought you were going to tell me his OVERALL plans!! How does he plan to win the Grail! That sort of.. of.."

"Shhhhhh.." Gilgamesh put a finger to Mikoto's lips. "Can't give away everything can I? Otherwise what leverage do I have for a Second Date?"

"WHY YOU LITTLE!!" Mikoto screamed, lightning charging up around her body and causing the water to boil.. 

"SHEEEEN!" One portal later, Mikoto found herself completely dry, standing on the balcony of the Chaldea hotel room.. 

Saber, who had been sitting on a deck chair, nearly fell off in shock. 

"M.. MIKOTO!!! How did you get here.. and.." Saber stared. "Wh.. what are you wearing!?"

Mikoto looked down at herself. She was wearing an elegant beautiful dress, made of golden fabric that was strung from REAL gold... she wore white gloves that went up her arm, with many golden bangles on her wrists, and a pure crown of gold with white opals fitted in was sitting on her head.

A sticky note was also pasted to her forehead, which Saber took off and read. "For.. my Queen.. I'm sure this is better than a school Uniform. "

"Piece of shit." Mikoto grumbled.
