Summary; Greed invites Soifon to a celebratory dinner at his house. He hopes not to get stabbed in the process.
Log;
Greed had been waiting on the second floor of the temple for an hour now. He was certain she'd be arriving soon. He impatiently dangled his legs over the side of the second floor roof as he looked out over the front entranceway.

"Man, she was hot! If there's one thing I like, it's ninja girls, and if there's another, it's shinigami girls! This is like both!" he thought to himself, smiling a little inside.

Off in the distance, he thought he could see someone approaching the temple grounds...

Soifon really didn't know what to think of the strange man she had met yesterday. First he had revealed some...interesting information about Yoruichi, and then he had assisted her in trying to figure out her own feelings. But she had concluded that a dinner would be harmless, and agreed to meet him. She easily spotted him on the roof of the temple as she raced across buildings to get there. She quickly leaped and landed gracefully next to him on top of the temple. "I am here, as promised." She looked over at him again, almost having second thoughts. But if he was a friend of Yoruichi, he couldn't be too bad.

"Hot damn, Miss Soifon, that's some fancy footwork! You're definitely like Yoruichi."

He gave an appreciative whistle as he looked her up and down, then began to lead her through a doorway. They emerged in the interior of the second floor dojo. It was practically pristine, as no one really came here for lessons. He turned to her as the passed through the different section on the way to the stairs.

"So, how have ya' been settling in, beautiful?"

"We both held the same position back home. I was her successor." She followed him, taking off her captain's jacket as she entered and folding it over her arm. "I haven't really settled. I've only gotten a couple nights of sleep, and I haven't even decided where I will reside yet."

"Hm...Well, there's certainly no shortage of places to stay. We have a couple people here, too."

He walked down the stairs a few steps ahead of her, opening another door down onto the first floor. Then they moved through a series of hallways until hitting the dining hall. After that, it was a small jaunt through the gardens to a gazebo, where the food and drink was already waiting.

"Right in there, babe. Take a seat."

She looked around the garden as she lay her uniform across the back of her chair. "This is nice, I can see why Yoruichi chose to stay here." She sat and turned back, watching his movements carefully. She didn't entirely trust him yet, but his intentions seemed fine.

He settled on is seat and took a whiff of the cart beside their table. It had a large assortment of dishes that didn't follow any particular theme. It seemed to just be a smattering different cultures.

"She's a great gal," he said, piling ribs, crab legs, and meat pies onto his plate, "You're lucky to have her as a compatriot."

Soifon carefully placed a helping of rice and chicken on her plate. "I am. Being able to serve her was the best thing that ever happened to me." She stared down at her plate for a second, trying to gather her thoughts. "I'm very grateful for what you've done for me. But...really, I have no experience with this. What happens next?"

"Hm...You've never been on a date? Never? Never ever?"

He stared at her, jaw agape, slightly incredulous at her statement. A beautiful woman who had never been courted? Impossible! A crime, it should be!

"Well," he said, getting himself under control and pouring some hot sake for them both, "We talk, we interact...and see where it goes from there."

"I would have been cut off from my family had I not been a serious warrior. Our family has served the Shihouin family for generations, and I was not going to fail them. I never found the time for much other than training." She accepted the sake, slowly sipping it. "Then we will continue talking. Is there anything specific you had in mind?"

"For one thing, how are you two getting on? Have you jumped into bed already, or are ya' waiting?"

Greed, obviously thinking this is perfectly normal to ask, ate a section of crab, shell and all, then drank some of his sake.

"You seemed pretty happy to kiss her."

"I...ah..." She stared down at her plate again, starting to turn red. "I haven't really talked to her about that night yet. I've been thinking about what to do next ever since we left the club." She scooped up a small bite of rice and began to eat

"Hm...Well, I can tell ya' that she likes sex. Do you at least know the basics of sex?"

He downed another round of sake and devoured a rack of ribs, licking his lips hungrily. Those lamb chops he was looking at were not long for this world.

"Well?"

Suddenly the garden beside her had become quite interesting, and she turned almost completely looking away from Greed, face flush red. "It...it isn't something necessary for a shinigami to know, so I didn't pay it any attention."

"Eh? But you guys DO have personal lives, right? Lovin' is a part of livin'!" he said, leaning forward over the table. He soon realized he had raised his voice in his excitement, and went back in to his seat.

"But she DOES like sex. A lot. Wouldn't it be better to know what you're doin'?"

"I didn't have time for that, unless Yoruichi made time for me. I was always training to be able to protect her. She thought I tried to hard." She turned back to face him. "I...I guess it would be. But I don't know if she'd mind that I don't know."

He swallowed down a few large eggs and some fettucini alfredo.

"Ya' know, I could teach ya' how to really knock it out in the sack with her."

Ladies and gentlemen, Greed. The world's most shameless man. Behold his collar-laden glory.

"I..." Soifon didn't know how to respond. She stared off at the garden again, trying to gather her thoughts. Finally finding the words to say, she turned back. "I think I should talk to her first. I don't even know if...if she feels anything like what I feel."

"Well, she DID kiss you pretty nicely. Doesn't that mean something?"

He sat back and crossed his legs, rolling a toothpick in his mouth.

"I don't know...it may have been the drinking, or that she just didn't want to hurt me. She has always been like an older sister to me, it wouldn't surprise me." But Soifon had to admit that he was right, the kiss really was nice.

"Trust me, that was no unsure kiss! It was so hot! She totally wants to do you, now!"

He grinned and laughed good-naturedly at this point, pouring himself another piping hot glass of sake.

"You could have her like ~~that~~," he said, snapping his fingers for emphasis.

He had been right before, she had no reason to believe he was wrong now. "I...I guess she might." She shifted in her seat nervously. "Is...is that what I need to do to show her how I feel?" Her discussion with Nemu earlier had really gotten her thinking, but she had come to no conclusion. Perhaps Greed would be able to help her find some answers.

"Of course! She likes aggression. Striking while the iron is hot, as it were. I know that feeling, since I'm that type of person, too."

He finished a bottle and set it to the side.

So what are ya' gonna' do? Need any pointers?"

Soifon took a minute to consider his offer. She wouldn't learn anything by refusing. And she did want Yoruichi to be happy, more than anything. "A...a few pointers couldn't hurt..."

"Alright, then. First, have you had enough to eat? It's good to have a full stomach before expending a lot of energy."

He stood up and stopped at the gazebo entranceway, in case she wanted more to eat.

"It's also okay if you're a little scared. I promise I won't do anything you're uncomfortable with, and if you're not comfortable with something, I'll stop."

She finished up the last bite of food on her plate and nodded. She wasn't even 5 feet tall, so it didn't take much to fill her up. "I...I want to be able to make Yoruichi happy." She shyly stood and picked up her jacket, following Greed and blushing profusely.

He picked her up and jumped up several levels, to an area even few in the temple knew about. His own little getaway spot. The last thing he needed was Tayuya spying on him again. He moved aside a hidden door and entered the building, holding her hand as he entered. Several candles were lit one-by-one around the room, which held a futon, some freshly washed linens, and several draperies on the walls.

"You can sit over on the bed," he said, putting his jacket on what was once apparently a weapon's stand.

She nodded and, after laying her jacket nearby, silently walked over towards the futon. The atmosphere of the room helped her to calm down. She knew what she was doing. She wanted to do whatever she could for Yoruichi. A little uncomfortable time was a small price to pay. She sat, crossing her arms in front of her nervously. Even in the dim light, the special forces captain's uniform was very revealing.

He sat in front of her on the futon. Just as he started to reach out for her shoulder, a sharp crack of thunder stopped him.

"Great," he thought, cursing mentally, "A storm. Just what we need."

He got up to close the door a bit more, to block out the pattering of the rain, then rejoined her, sitting a bit closer.

"First, get used to contact," Greed said, reaching out and grasping her hand, "Touch is an important thing to most beings, human or otherwise. It comforts and reassures us."

He kissed the top of her palm and then brought it to his cheek. Then his neck. Then his chest, which he had now made bare. Then back to his mouth, where he kissed her palm.

"You see? You can't be shy about touching someone."

Soifon watched as her grabbed her hand and moved it, feeling it move across his skin, slowly trying to calm her nerves and get used to this kind of intimacy. And he was right, touching was helping the process. She reached out with her other hand and hesitantly set it on his shoulder. She slowly slid it down his arm, reapeating, "Touch..."

He pulled her closer to him and put his arms around her, speaking into her ear in soft, measured tones.

"Embracing is even more important. One of the oldest ways of giving comfort, whether for friends or lovers."

His hands moved over her toned back as he lightly nuzzled against her neck. One of his hands moved up to brush against her blushing cheek.

Soifon almost jumped as another loud thunderclap was heard simultaneously to Greed's embrace. She controlled herself and slowly placed her hands around his waist in response. "So far, this is...okay."

Stroked the side of her face again and spoke, "This is the next big step. Kissing. This is far more intimate, so bear with me. I'm afraid I'm not a match for how good her lips feel, since I'm a guy, but I'll do my best."

He pulled her up against him and pressed his lips against her's firmly, but not too tight.

Soifon felt herself being pulled towards his face, felt his lips pressed against hers. It did feel different, but she had to learn. Her hands moved up his body and eventually wrapped themselves around his shoulders, allowing her to easily hold herself up against the taller man's body.

He pressed the kiss in deeper, opening his mouth more and sucking gently at her lips. His right hand went up to the side of her head, the rough fingers running through her hair.

"Soifon," he said, breaking the kiss for a moment, "Beautiful Soifon."

He continued to enjoy her, letting his tongue lightly brush against her lips.

She squirmed a little, not used to kissing at all. Slowly she began to sink back down towards the futon, dragging Greed with her on top of him. She hadn't been lying when she said she was full, but feeling so nervous had made her feel weaker than normal. But she had to keep going, for Yoruichi.

He pulled back and smiled down at her, trying to be reassuring.

"Now is when the clothes have to come off," he said, pointing to her uniform, "Or at least the top half."

He sat up and gave her some room to undress.

She reached her hands behind her head and grabbed the thin strip of fabric that held the top half of her uniform on. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then slumped down, staring at the futon. "I...I can't. I don't even know if I could for Yoruichi..." She sat up on her knees. "Isn't there some other way I can...I can show her?"

He stood up and leaned against the wall.

"Hm...I guess it was a lot to expect of a virgin. Sorry. Guess I pushed you too far, too soon."

He sat on the futon and put a hand under his chin.

"Well, you've already confessed, you've kissed, there's not much left but to do it. That's how I usually do it."

"Then...I should go to her." Soifon stood and began to walk towards the exit. She stopped for a second, thinking, and then turned back. She quickly leaned down in front of him and kissed him lightly on the cheek, partly to show that she had learned, and partly as thanks. "I feel I am still indebted to you, even though this was supposed to be my way of repaying you." She slid back into her jacket and opened the door, staring out into the rain.

"Nah, think nothin' of it. Helpin' ladies is my specialty. Just remember, Miss Soifon, let your heart do the talkin'. Everything you want to say to her will come."

He rooted around in a nearby supply closet and fished out an umbrella.

"Take this. Careful out there."

She smiled for the first time that night. "I will. Thank you, and good night Greed."

"Night."
