Gods don't have taboos for the most part. Absolutely nothing is off the table as far as they are concerned. Gods don't tend to understand human taboos or share such taboos. When you spend time with a god you quickly realize that they are into the most perverse acts and that nothing can shock them or give them pause. For instance, gods have no problems in flirting with someone underage or having a sexual relationship with a minor.
Washu is one of the gods that have spent significant time with humans. She had seen their capacity for great cruelty and hatred....and yet she had seen the great potential and a spark of benevolence. Washu fully understood why humans had such taboos even though she didn't always agree with any given taboo. This is why Washu spends so little time in her adult body and only adopts her adult form when she's in a frisky mood because she knows that human wouldn't feel comfortable (to say the least) in having sexy times with a minor.


The posing that Washu did was not sexual in any way but it was certainly suggestive. Judging by the looks that the two young saiyans were giving her, only Trunks seem to have at least a partial idea to what was being suggested because he blushed and quickly averted his eyes which made Washu giggle. Goten was clueless as to what was being suggested by the posing that made Washu have a wicked little grin.

Washu playfully did a come-hither look but put little or no effort into it. When a god is truly making an effort in making a come-hither look, mortals have very little resistance to it and would jump on any god that made the gesture and that'll be all she wrote...literally. Washu made the look more playful than genuine sexual. If the mothers of the two were to witness the playful look in Washu's eyes they would no doubt drag the two quickly away. As luck would have it, neither of the mothers were there.

Even though the look was playful, it was Trunks that started to walk towards Washu. From the looks of it, Trunks's feet were moving without his consent.
"Uhh....Trunks?" asked Goten in a very quiet voice.
Before Trunks could answer, hands wrapped around Washu's middle. Washu glanced back to see that Haruko had sneaked up from behind and had grabbed her. When Washu took her eyes off of Trunks the young lad snapped out of the spell he had been under.

"Turnabout is fair play, Washu" said Haruko, whispering directly into Washu's ear.

"It certainly is" said a voice.

Haruko looked around to see that Washu was suddenly behind Trunks and Goten a good twenty feet away. Washu was standing at a booth grinning away. Haruko looked back to see that she was now holding a life-sized doll of Washu. Haruko looked more perplexed than angry as she examined the doll. The doll was finely crafted as to mistake the real Washu for it at a distance.
"That's some parlor trick" said Haruko.

"How did you do that?!" asked Trunks.
"Cool" said Goten.

"I am a genius, that's how" said Washu.
"Washu is the greatest genius of the universe !" proclaimed a doll that had appeared on Washu's shoulder with a letter "A" on its belt.
"Washu is the greatest" said another doll with a "B" on its belt appearing on the other shoulder.
"Hooray for Washu!!" proclaimed the two dolls together.

"Well that was concited" said Haruko.

Washu smiled widely as she walked to Trunks and Goten. The two boys didn't move.

"Hey, kid" said Haruko. Trunks turned to face Haruko.

"Think fast!" said Haruko as she threw the Washu doll right at Trunks. Trunks reached out to catch the doll when he was grabbed from behind by Washu. At the same time Washu had also grabbed Goten.

Trunks and Goten each tried to free themselves from Washu for a long moment before going limp in each of her hands. Washu shoved the two boys into her mouth. The two boys were gulped down in short order. The doll of Washu fell to the floor in front of Washu.

"Lady Washu" said a mechanical voice. A sentry bot had flown inbetween Haruko and Washu. "The repairs to the dinning hall is now complete"

"Excellent" said Washu. "Almost time for us to open anyway. Announce that the dinning hall will be opening in twenty minutes"


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

Hakubi was certainly not a stranger when it came to hanging out with evil people. Abraxas Mal, the bounty hunter that Hakubi had worked under during his exile, was a good example of that. Abraxas had been ruthless and cruel...and a good man to have your back. Hakubi had been saved several times from being shot by Abraxas himself. Hakubi had been one of the very few friends that Abraxas had.
Goro Akechi had been cagey about getting too close to the shrine of Washu. Hakubi could tell that the teenager was indeed evil but the young lad had been very good in hiding it. Goro had been friendly enough but was aloof and more than a tad arrogant.
Jim Hawking, Al Eric and Akechi spent a good ten minutes talking with Hakubi about various subjects. The three teenagers had left behind offerings to the statue of Washu. Akechi had asked Jim to give his offering of 5,000 yen. Jim had left a paltry 30 Wong as an offering and Al had left 600 cens.
"It's all I have" Jim had said when he had made his offering. "This is all what Gene gave me before boozing it up at the cafe"

Hakubi sat on the bench for a long time, watching the day unfold. Eventually Hakubi stood from the bench and started to walk away.
"No offering from my own son?" asked a voice.
Hakubi turned to see that the statue had been replaced by the real Washu. Washu examined each of the offerings left behind.
Hakubi sighed and started to dig in his pockets. It was several moments before Hakubi pulled out a long knife rather like a Bowie knife. The hilt of the knife was encrusted with jewels. The blade of the knife was perhaps two feet long. There was unmistakably a switch on the very butt of the hilt. Hakubi pushed the switch and the blade made a small mechanical noise like a miniature chainsaw.

Washu lifted a brow. "What's that?"
"A gift from a friend long ago" replied Hakubi. "Called a vibro-knife. This was all the rage in the dimension where Kagato vanished me"
Hakubi switched off the knife and dropped it at the feet of Washu.

"I certainly don't need it anymore" said Hakubi after a pause.

Washu sighed as she lifted the heart left behind as an offering. "I keep telling people to leave monetary offerings instead of blood offerings" she then took a bite of the heart.

"You're eating it" said Hakubi.

"Well, it is an offering" said Washu, taking another bite of the heart. "Ugh...this is weeks old. I prefer fresh blood"

"Weeks?" asked Hakubi. "Afraid Aunt Tokimi will take notice that you're visiting your own shrine in here?"

Washu gave Hakubi a brief glare. "Not at all. We do not care who other people worship too"

"I'm surprised that it hasn't been torn down" said Hakubi.

"There have been several attempts" said Washu. "I manage to....disuade any further attempts when an attempt is made"

Hakubi made a noncommittal noise as he looked over the forest.

"Mihoshi's pregnant eh?" asked Washu.

"Yeah" said Hakubi.

"Thought of a name yet?" asked Washu finishing up the heart.

"Too soon for that" said Hakubi. "Maybe name him or her after a rail line. Keep up that tradition"

Washu chuckled and examined the vibro-knife. At length, she said "Any baby of Mihoshi's would be...special, given her lineage"

Hakubi said nothing.

"A very special lineage indeed" said Washu.

"Yes, her family is certainly special" said Hakubi.

"You mean our family" said Washu.

Hakubi turned to face Washu. "What are you talking about?"

Washu smiled. "Mihoshi is my great-great granddaughter"

Hakubi's eyed widened. "What?!"
