She was walking the halls when she ran into Virgil
and she stopped him, “Virgil are you busy?” Xena asked,
“not really,” he said as he looked at her.
“Why?” He asked and Xena let out a breath as she pulled
Virgil into a nearby corner and he looked at her, wondering what
the strange behavior was all about. “You’re my friend
right?” She asked, “yea,” he said as he looked at
her, “and you’ll tell me the truth when I ask you a
question, no matter what the question or the answer?” Xena
asked and Virgil looked at her, “Xena what is going
on?” He asked and she let out a breath, “I went to the
market with your mother, Ulysses’ mother and a bunch of other
women,” Xena said. “And I ran into some women who had
known Ulysses intimately and they said that there would be no one
who would be able to do the things Ulysses did with them,”
she said and Virgil cleared his throat as he looked around.

 

 

“I think this is something you should be
talking to Ulysses about,” Virgil said and he was about to
leave when Xena grabbed his arm and she looked into his eyes.
“You know what I’m about to ask you,” she said
and Virgil looked at her then looked down for a minute.
“Xena, Ulysses was a different man then,” Virgil said
and Xena shook her head. “That part of him is still there, I
know because I’ve caught a glance of it but I don’t
understand why he hides it from me. I want to know him, all of
him,” Xena said and Virgil shook his head, “no you
don’t,” he said. “I do,” Xena said in
returned and Virgil looked at her, “Ulysses is…”
Virgil said as he searched for a word, “he’s a
complicated guy,” Virgil said after a minute. “But you
know him inside and out,” Xena said to Virgil, “what do
you want to hear Xena? That Ulysses and I shared women, because we
did. We took them and took them until they were begging for
more,” Virgil said and Xena looked into his eyes knowing that
he was telling the truth.

 

 

Virgil all of a sudden placed his hands on
Xena’s cheeks as he looked into her eyes, “you’re
a gentle woman Xena and you may have to face that fact that you
can’t handle that part of him, few can.” Virgil said
and Xena just looked into his eyes, “you’re wrong, I am
his other half, I can handle anything,” she said and Virgil
nodded as he removed his hands and placed them on the wall in front
of him, pushing Xena against the wall, until their bodies were
pressed against each other. She cleared her throat and looked away
from him, “look at me,” Virgil said and Xena looked him
dead in his eyes. “If Ulysses came to you tonight and said he
wanted me to join him and take you, he wanted me to have you, take
you and taste you. What would you say?” Virgil asked and Xena
looked into his eyes and swallowed hard as she thought about it,
“if it was something he really wanted,” Xena said and
Virgil nodded as he looked at Xena, still waiting for an
answer.
