Summary; Having conversation about this and that in their apartment after Jyabura has shown Kaku the important parts of the City
Log;
"So I heard you have a date tonight?!"

Jyabura was absolutely not able to hide a mocking grin on his face, considering that it was his 'fault' Kaku was stuck up in some kind of date with a completely unknown girl just on his second day in the City. But he meant it well, and it's the thought that counts, right? Making friends in that city was very important, especially now that one more of that filthy pirates had shown up.

He took another sip of sake out of a tiny bowl, leaned back into the sofa and gave Kaku a very amused look. "You better don't fuck this one up. She seems to have a lot of friends who care about the well-going of this date..." he grinned. Good Lord, he would kill to get the chance to watch them secretely having their date, but alas that was out of question. In the end he could really end up with a poodle cut...

Kaku stood up from the makeshift bed he'd created between Jyabura's many plants and walked to the couch, sitting on the arm of it, giving Jyabura a bit of a kick with a socked foot.

"Oh hush you crazy mutt," Kaku scolded. "It's just one date, it doesn't mean anything. I have zero romantic intentions for later tonight, so don't be at the door begging me to tell you everything that happened."

The redhead fold his arms over his chest, glancing to the sake bottle. Still a few hours before his date... "Now, are you going to share your sake or am I going to just have to take it?"

That made him laugh good, because this is exactly what was going to happen. He'd wait before the door like a dog and greet him with a happy 'SO HOW WAS IT?!'. So very likely, it hurt. "She doesn't seem like the type of girl to get laid at the first date anyways, and well, doesn't seem like your style either." he said and took another sip.

"Huh? Take how much you want. I still have two bottles of it. And a massive amount of Christmas cookies, while we're at it." He nodded over to a little table that was stuffed with cookies and candies and that will probably never get any emptier, he wasn't into candy at all. "I got them for Christmas. But alas, not from a girl" he said with an overdramatic expression of faked sadness.

"I thought you'd never ask," Kaku said, slipping down to the couch and reaching over to gather a handful of cookies and sweets. "I've been staring at these all night, you don't know sort of torture that is," he said, as he cram a cookie shaped like a christmas tree into his mouth.

"Anways," he said, popping a couple festive-coloured jellybeans into his mouth, "What do you mean she's not my style? What IS my style? Oh god, these cookies with the red icing are good... Pour me some sake, my hands are full of delicious..."

"Good Lord, watch it. Those things make you really fat, you know?" he said markedly impressed, and completely ignoring the fact that his consume of sake could easily come up with enough calories for all those cookies. Twice. "You should join me hunting in the woods. See, though it looks divine without any doubt, that thing ain't a gift of heavens" he said while stroking his own stomach and the well defined muscles. Well, he didn't run around with an open jacket most of the time for no reason.

Jyabura grabbed the bottle of sake and a second bowl and filled it up for Kaku. "What? I don't know um... but laying a girl on the first date is more something for Lucci, I guess." He looked at Kaku, confused. "I have no idea what's your style! But I can surely tell what it not is!" he grinned and reached for his own bowl to fill it up.

"Lucci doesn't date girls. He manipulates them into doing what he wants. He doesn't care about them, and he just throws them aside when he feels they have outlived their use," Kaku said, taking hold of the small bowl while trying to grasp another candy cane. "My style... Well, I don't even know what my style is. Only girl I've been with is Kalifa, to be honest, and she kinda just took charge and stuff," he said, sipping his sake.

He unwrap the candy cane, reaching out to try and grasp it with his tongue. "Damn this short human tongue..." he say, settling for just holding the sugar-stick in his mouth. "Jyab, you've seen me eat back home. Well, seen me around candy. I can eat and eat and eat, and not gain an ounce. He set a few of his treats down on his lap, pulling up his shirt to show his slender stomach to Jyabura. It was toned, but he was still far skinnier than probably healthy. "Be a cold day in Hell when I'm round as that zipper-face, Fukurou."

"Yeah, that's exactly what he's doing with that girl", he said all of a sudden, but not closer explaining what he was referring too. "And you know what? She either doesn't get or mind it. Which is both stupid." he added before getting a good sip out of the bowl. "But yeah, I've heard of these um... abusive relationship stuff. Weirdos."

He gave him a pitiful look and poked into his stomach. "Oh dear. Well now, I take back everything I said. As skinny as you are, you maybe should eat candy on a regular base. I mean, Jesus. Girls don't like guys that look like they're about to starve!" Jyabura was even a tiny bit more buff than Lucci, who was far away from being that skinny like Kaku. He emptied his bowl and filled it up again. "But you have a cute face, girls like that."

"Huh, so Lucci's been involved with someone here? Poor girl. I pity her in a way..." Kaku said, sipping more sake, before resuming the consumption of his goodies.

"Okay, so, I do look like I'm about to keel over and die from starvation, that's why I cover up. I just can't seem to gain weight. Maybe that'll change here, and I'll suddenly be cursed on... Get Really Really Fat day or something... I hope there isn't a day like that. I feel fat enough as a giraffe," he told the wolf-man.

"But... tell me, what have you been up to? You've obviously been here a while... I'm curious..." Kaku asked. Jyabura did seem all too grateful when he appeared... A lot more than he should have been. Kaku'd been gone five years in Water 7, when Jyabura saw him after so long, it was just a complete brawl between the agents.

"Well, she's some kind of swordfighter and moved into his apartment a while ago" he said with pure disgust on his face. Eww, only the thought... "Sometimes he treats her bad, she get's all sad, but then recovers for some reason and it starts all over again." He shrugged, except that Naoto was a danger to Robin that way, he didn't really care. "If it makes them happy that way?"

Jyabura stared at Kaku for a while. "Um, you have actually seen giraffes?! Skinny long legs and all? No. You're not fat even as a giraffe. More candy and no more vegetables for you, kid. First we'll bring you to normal, and getting fat is second, if you really want to" he added jokingly.

"Well... I made a few weird friends and all that. I spend most of my time in that Xanadu garden or the woods, anyways. You know I don't like being locked inside." Jyabura was definitely hiding something, it took not much to see that because he seemed a little too nervous all of a sudden.

"Jyabura, whatever you're hiding, stop," Kaku said, with a sigh before biting into his candy cane. "Whatever you're hiding, I'm bound to find out somehow. And... come now. You've never been happy to see me; and suddenly you act as if I'm your favourite uncle or something."

Kaku gave the man a serious look, "What happened before I came here to freak you out like this?"

Jyabura made that lemon-face again. That brat. But well, he wasn't a secret agent for no reason. He emptied his bowl once more, but it didn't taste anymore. Fuck. He put it back on the table and started to look around in the room randomly, just to avoid to look Kaku in his face.

"Well, remember that Family Day thing? I also had a 'wife' and she ended up being pregnant." If that wasn't enough to ruin someone's mood, what was?

Kaku's blue eyes pierced into Jyabura's dark ones. "Who?" was the only words from the redhead's lips.

There was any number of women in this City that Jyabura could have impregnated. There was no question as to the fact Jyabura would make an excellent father, but something was definitely wrong. His powerful gaze did not leave Jyabura's; he wanted an answer now.

Jyabura had not many problems of returning his look, it was in his nature as a wolf. But it was also a sign of aggression, and his facial expression turned into annoyed and angry, but only for the split of a second. Kaku would have to do much worse things to make him really angry.

"That Ohara girl" he finally said coldly and not enjoying the sudden turn of the situation at all, but still relieved to have at least told it anyone.

Kaku's body stiffened. He was frozen like that, silent and unmoving. He just sat like this for a long time, the two men in an uncomfortable silence.

Kaku allowed himself to relax, downing the rest of the sake in his bowl. He took the bottle, pouring more into his now-empty bowl. He set the bottle down, shooting back what was in his bowl now. He set the bowl down, relaxing onto the couch.

"So... you want me to push her down a flight of stairs or what?" he ask, tipping his hat up to look at Jyabura, a bit of a dangerous smirk on his lips as the Cipher Pol agent inside Kaku appeared for the first time since his arrival.

Jyabura patiently waited until Kaku would speak up. He didn't mind his answer either, he couldn't deny that he thought about killing Robin back then too. A lot of times, in fact.

He leaned back into the arm of the sofa, more lieying than sitting, and crossed his arms behind his head. "Oh well, I'm afraid to tell you that I will bite everyone to death who lays a finger on her." he finally said without the slightest sign of making a joke about that matter.

"Hn," Kaku said, leaning back against the arm of the sofa. "Well, if that is your decision, that's fine... But she doesn't love you, you realize. The idea she'll let you even so much as look as your child is probably out of the question too..."

The redhead sat up, reaching over to place his hand on the other agent's knee. "Just remember... I do my job quickly, discreetly and without fail... Just in case you do want to take me up on my offer in the future..."

Kaku was probably right. About all he mentioned. Though Robin had obviously feelings for him in return, he wasn't sure if they were even half as intense as those he had for her. He was dead sure that she still cares about her pirate nakama much more than she'd ever care about him, no matter if he was the father of their child or not.

"I don't ask from you that you start to like her or something. I had more time to think about that than you, much more. But killing her is no option to deal with it. She carries my child, after all. And you'd kill it with her." He started to scratch the scar across his eye, which was always a sign of insecurity.

Kaku reach over to the table, taking hold of a gingerbread man. "Well, I'm just saying..." Kaku said, "My offer will still stand if you ever chose to use it." With that, he bit the head off the cookie.

"Oh my God," he said, "Whoever made this gingerbread, marry them right now."

Jyabura was not in the mood for lame jokes. Even if they were intended to tighten the situation down, which he doubted.

"Stop kidding. I don't ever wanna hear again that you're willing to kill my children." He crossed his arms and tried to lie in his corner of the sofa as comfortable as possible. "Nor the girl I love."

"Jyabura," Kaku said, setting his cookie down. "Remember back in Enies, the cafeteria lady who you said you loved? And how you wrote her love poems every day and sang outside her window and such? Remember how she threw cream of wheat at you and told you to leave her alone? You thought that was love? Well, this Robin thing is a bit like this. She's not one of us, Jyabura. She betrayed us."

"THE SOLDIERS SAID IT WOULD WORK THAT WAY!" he screamed at Kaku, grabbed a cookie and threw it at him in rage. Evil cookie attack. He curled up into his sofa corner even more and wished to vanish right now. Fucking squarenose.

It took him quite a while to get out of this mental state of a 15-year-old back to a man who was nearly 40. "She didn't betray me. I couldn't care less who the public enemy is, it's just a name, nothing more. I don't take it personal, you know? It doesn't matter, she carries my child. That's the point."

Kaku leaned over and began to scratch Jyabura behind the ear. "There, there, puppy," Kaku cooed. "She's our enemy, I know you don't care, but the question is really, if she cares. I mean, if she hates you to the core on a day she isn't cursed, well... There's plenty of women out there who'd be lucky to have you, you know that?"

The redhead was feeling considerably more sympathetic. "Talk to her, see if she wants you to even be part of her kid's life. If not, well, that's just the way things will have to go, wolffy."

He hid his face behind his hand, at least to cover the horrific blush on it. That was kind of embarassing, really embarassing.

"She doesn't hate me. She likes me." He was sure about that, at least. You don't sleep with people voluntary you don't at least like. Well, there were people who didn't even care about that. But Robin wasn't that kind of girl. He hoped. "But I doubt that she loves me. Which is not that surprising, if you consider that I'm a CP9 agent, after all."

He sighed. Not being able to tell if she even liked him enough wasn't good. It was in fact quite wrong. "I guess you're right, then. Seems like I have to go on a date too, very soon." he said with rolling eyes.

Kaku patted Jyabura on the back and stood up, taking another candy cane. "Well, just get your composure back. Things are gonna be fine, pup. I, on the other hand, need to go take a shower," he said, unwrapping the candy cane. He pause for a moment, picking up another one. "It might be a long shower. I don't want to go hungry... You better not eat any of that gingerbread while I'm in the shower either."
