Log;
Glinda paced back in forth in her apartment, anxiously awaiting Greed's arrival. This isn't right, I'm going to regret this, I shouldn't do this, was all she could think. But Greed had promised her that everything would be okay, and that was all that kept her from calling it off.

She was a little unsure of how he had managed to convince her to let him come over. She remembered calling him 'disgusting' a few times, in response to his attempts to pass himself off as a doctor. Somehow that had led her revealing a few things about herself that she now thought would have been better left unsaid, as they all had gotten her here, with Greed offering to fix her lack of knowledge in certain areas.

This isn't right...

Glinda allowed herself to fall into a chair amidst a mass of pink tulle skirts. Eyes closed, she took a deep, reassuring breath and awaited a knock on the door.

Surprisingly enough, the knock never came. Instead, it was Greed's hand on her shoulder.

"Psst. It's me, Glinda. I decided to use the window. Thought the entrance would be cooler."

Her hands shot up to stifle a scream of shock as she jumped from the seat.

One hand moved to her chest, where her heart threatened to burst from the fright. "Cooler? That was not cool, that was scary!" She supposed it was for the best, having worried a little about some of her neighbors seeing the man pay her a visit. He didn't have the best of reptations around the City, and Glinda certainly didn't want hers to match his.

"So," he said, placing a hand on her waist, "What would you like to know. Do you really know nothing about how men and women interact?"

He pulled her closer to him and kissed the top of her hand.

She stiffened a little at the contact, cheeks reddening slightly. "Well, I- I know what happens." She tried to will the usual strength back into her voice. "I've just never... No one ever..." The blush deepened as she trailed off.

"But you're so beautiful! Why would no one try to sweep you off your feet?" he asked, guiding them both to a nearby couch.

"You're an exquisite beauty, Glinda! Like a work of fine art."

He kissed her palm and gently sucked one of her fingers, then stroked her luxurious, golden hair.

"Someone did once, but my best friend, she sort of... He fell in love with her, so there was never a chance, I suppose."

If she ever admitted to having a flaw, it would be that flattery could get you nearly anywhere with her. Her cheeks had regained a little of their normal colour and she relaxed slightly at his touch.

"That's a shame. Guy must be friggin' blind..."

The hand in her hair traveled down to caress her slender neck, as he slid closer. He gently scooped her legs up, letting them settle over his lap.

"Did he even kiss you?"

"Y- yes," she answered, the contact on her neck causing her to shiver a little. "Sometimes."

"Would you like to see if mine are anything like his?"

He was already moving closer, one hand still on her neck, the other trailing down the side of her body.

"I- I..." Unable to answer without stuttering, she closed her eyes, giving only the slightest nod of affirmation.

In a swift motion, he pulled her over into his lap and kissed her. He gently sucked her lips and traced them lightly with tongue.

"Mmm..."

He began to deepen the kiss as his left hand slid slowly along the thigh of her dress.

The feeling was weird, and was nothing like the kisses she had shared with Fiyero. Where his were quick and cold, this was deep and full of passion. She pulled back. "I'm sorry... This is... new. I'm sorry." The blush had found its way back onto her face.

"I don't mind gettin' you used to it, darlin'. Want to give it another try?"

The hand on her thigh slid forward and under, then pulled back, dragging his rough hand across the underside of her leg.

"I don't mind a going over lessons more than once."

She shifted slightly as his hand ran across her leg. It was all she could do to stay in his lap. This was going to have to happen sometime, right? At least that was what she tried to convince herself of as she nodded again.

He moved in again for another kiss, slightly softer this time. He added his other hand, letting it drift over the front of her dress to settle on her right breast. He squeezed the soft flesh under the fabric and bent his head under hers, dragging his tongue over her neck.

"You taste...very sweet."

She had been ready for the kiss, and had even tried to return it. What she hadn't expected was for his hand to rest where it had. She had beem kissed before, but no one had ever touched her like that. A stiffness afftected her body again, but she made no move to protest.

"Still too hard?" he asked with concern.

Though he now noticed that at least ONE thing was too hard, and very soon she'd probably notice it through his pants.

"I don't want to hurt ya'."

"No, that was better, it was fine." She shifted uncomfortably. "But I think I'm sitting on something and I... Oh..."

He blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his head.

"Eh heh. Sorry about that, it's kinda' got a mind of it's own."

Greed allowed her to recline on the couch and sat down beside her, leaning over to softly kiss her lips again. He gradually worked a hand under her dress and slid it to her stomach, rubbing across her smooth skin. It began to travel upward, sliding up against one of her breasts.

"Is that better?"

Glinda's breath caught in her throat. As much as her mind screamed for her to say no, all she could manage was another stuttered "I don't know." The longer he lay near her, the more she began to question what they were doing. This isn't right... But again, she didn't fight the path his hands took.

Tayuya had had quite enough. She was sick and tired of spying on Greed and making herself angry. But... with nothing else better to do, she'd promised herself this would be the last time. ... She'd followed him from the temple, employing all of her skills as a ninja, but had stopped dead upon seeing whose apartment he's arrived at.

"Glinda the Good." She breathed in a half snarl, watching him enter through the window.

She'd waited a short time, before she couldn't take it. Springing up after him, she entered through the window.

And froze. Her mouth fell open as she struggled for words, fury beginning to etch it's way onto her face.

Oh no, he didn't.

He didn't, but he sure as hell was planning on it.

"B-b-baby! H-hi! What's up?"

Greed's voice went up a few octaves as he hastily removed his hand and pulled Glinda up, putting her behind him.

"Now just calm down, remember what I've always said!"

The intrusion was another thing Glnda hadn't expected. Standing behind Greed, she tried to smooth the wrinkles from her dress.

"Tayuya," she said, barely above a whisper. The red headed woman looked nowhere near pleased.

"Don't you 'baby' me!" Tayuya snapped, hopping down from the windowsill and standing straight, sneering, barely keep back a snarl. Ignoring him, for the time being, her eyes found Glinda's.

"Glinda the Good." She spat. Her curse seal was racing across her skin, rapdily transforming her body into something not quite human. "Everyone in this goddamned City is going to find this out." She snapped her head back, horns sprouting, a grin revealing sharpened teeth.

It had angered her enough, the others. But this? Oh, this was too much.

"After I kill you." The ninja threw herself forward, fully intending to barrel past Greed and into the witch.

Greed immediately shifted into his second skin and blocked. Luckily, the size of the apartment left him a very small area to have to block in.

"You need to cut this shit out, Tayuya! We've talked and talked about this jealousy shit!"

He rushed forward, intercepting her mid-dash.

Glinda staggered back against a wall as she watched the pair change. Greed had once mentioned that Tayuya had more than one form, but she was unaware he did as well. She knew full well that Tayuya would make good on her threat to tell the entire City, but for now, she could do nothing but watch.

They collided, the cursed seal taking a hold on her mind, as it usually did, evident in the fury of talons and horn as she thrashed to get past him, finally jumping back instead.

"Shut the fuck up, Greed, and get the hell out of the way." Her hair hung wild in her face, parts hanging haphazardly of the horns on her crown, lips in a snarl, black eyes and golden irises trained on the witch cowering behind the man.

"The minute I get over there you're dead." The ninja spat. Others she could tolerate. Had tolerated. But this?! The woman she probably despised over all other women in this whole goddamn City? Oh, no.

"Orochimaru was too kind, slitting your throat so quick." Her voice was a hiss. "I'll keep you alive to bleed you dry!" The Sound ninja wished she had her weapons, she only had her flute, no use here. No matter. Changing direction, she sprung, chakra sticking her to the ceiling as she began clambering across the room, murder on her face.

Greed was unaffected by her sharp natural weapons, as they simply dinged off his shell.

"NO, Tayuya! You need to stop this shit! No more!"

He lept up to the ceiling, digging a claw in and hanging there, trying to grab her between his legs.

"You're gonna' listen to me, damn it! I'm not gonna' let you hurt some girl who hasn't even done anything to you! What the hell is wrong?!"

Glinda had slid down the wall, hands covering her face. At the mention of Orochimaru, one hand lowered to rest on the scar across her neck.

"Tayuya, stop it!" she screamed at the ceiling. But she knew her efforts were wasted. The other woman was out for blood.

Tayuya smirked, ignoring Greed after kicking him in the knee, chakra dying as she fell to the floor, twisting to land on her feet, advancing quickly to grab the taller woman, however, the curse seal made it easy for her smaller body to lift her, taloned hands at her throat, slowly squeezing.

"Scared, Glinda the Good?" Tayuya hissed, face painted with fury, curse seal making audible hissing noises on her skin, as she was drawing on it with no intelligence, only anger. To be honest, this wasn't just about this. This was about everything. Her anger at going soft. Her confusion about having friends. Her fear of being left behind. Her training to kill and not having killed in far too long.

She slammed the woman against the wall, not just one hand, now both, on her throat, lifting her as high as she could, face twisted as she tightened her hold.

Greed dropped and vaulted back, landing a few feet from them. He grabbed both of Tayuya's hands, working one armored finger between Tayuya's thumb and Glinda's neck.

"I said..." he growled, prying Glinda loose, "STOP IT, GODDAMN IT!"

He grabbed Tayuya in a bear hug, holding her fast.

"Glinda, run! I'll find ya' later! Move! Move!"

No sooner had the witch fallen to the ground, gagging, than she was up, and out the door. Tayuya knew where she lived, she knew where Elphaba lived. There was nowhere else to go. Glinda supposed all she could do was run, until Greed found her.

"LET GO, GREED!" Tayuya snapped, whole body going into the effort of trying to struggle out of the pin. Her voice was a barely readable snarl, horns on her head snapping back into his chest repeatedly with the movement of her neck. After a few minutes of thrashing she slowly began to calm, whole body trembling, the curse seal pulsing madly.

"... let me go..."

"Are you gonna' be good?" he asked, still locked against her.

To be certain, he took off with her, running and leaping until he was close to the edge of the forest. At least if she freaked, then Glinda would be far away.

"Fine."

He released her and hugged her tightly.

"Tayuya...I....I don't know what to..."

"That's it, Greed." Tayuya snapped, twitching sporadically as she was still fighting the curse seal for control. She couldn't do this anymore. She was too jealous, too territorial. Too easy to anger.

"It." She didn't turn to face him, didn't move, hardly even blinked.

"... Because I'm so goddamned nice, I'll give you a headstart to the little bitch before I get to her."

He turned his back and gathered the strength in his legs.

"...You're one of the best, Tayuya. I only hope you can snap outta' this."

And soon he was gone.

"One of the best..." She spat, literally.

"You come within fifty feet of me, Greed, and you're just as dead!" She shouted after him, plopping down on the ground, making an irritated sound when the horns on her head prevented her from lying down and staring up.

... Fuck them.
