Log;

She was four minutes early, because it really didn't take that much time to walk over to the fountains from the carousel where she usually waited for Kouya by day. Her stomach grumbled and she put a hand to it, petting it like it was a separate being that needed to be placated.

In between talking to the new arrivals and verbal sparring with Seimei, she'd neglected to eat lunch. And unfortunately, hunger pains were something that Zero could still feel.

"That guy better show up soon," Yamato mused to herself. "Or I'm leaving without him."

"That guy" was right behind her already, and was now tapping her on the shoulder.

"Sup, babe? How ya' doin?" Greed said, one hand in his pocket, "Know what you like to eat?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

She jumped a little, not really prepared to see him looming behind her, then grinned.

"Sneaky, aren't you? Maybe I should put a bell around your neck so you can't scare helpless little school girls," she mused. "I could eat anything, but since it's your treat, and since that Inquisitor guy kept talking about burning steaks all day, I'm thinking...Korean barbecue?

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

With a small shrug, he just smiled at her, "I've been accused of that and worse."

He seemed rather amused at her request

"That's all? Sure, I can do that. Sure ya' don't want anything else? Never really looked for those sort of places, though. Know any around?"

He glanced about the area, trying to see if anything was in sight.

"I might ask you for doughnuts later, but for now, main course!"

She tapped a finger against her lips, trying to remember the names of the restaurants she'd passed when she went out with Fuu during the karaoke curse. Unfortunately, she'd been very drunk that night. Everything was a blur.

"I think that Pandora's place is suppose to serve every kind of food. We could try there."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Okee-doke. I think I can accomodate," he said, kneeling down, "Grab on. We'll get there faster like this."

He presented his back to her, implying he would simply piggy back them there.

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Uh...?" Her eyebrows raised, but since her stomach still grumbled she figured anything that got her to food faster was a good thing. She placed her hands on his shoulders and hooked her knees up and around his waist.

"I do have a perfectly good pair of well-shaped legs, you know," she teased, wiggling said legs for emphasis. "But if you insist."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

Greed took off, jumping from the ground, to a lamp-post, then another. He bounded from post to post at breakneck speed, moving surprisingly nimbly for a man of his size.

"Yeah, but do your legs do this?" he said, back to her, jumping higher, rebounding off the side of a building, then forming his arms into claws and quickly scrambling over several tall walls, "It's nice to have certain powers, after all."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

Her nails dug into his shoulders as he started to move, knees shifting from their loose hold to a squeezing death-grip on Greed's hips.

"H-holy shit," she gasped. "Warn a girl before you do stuff like that. If you drop me, I'm cutting off your man-parts, just so you know."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

A pleasant ripple passed through him when she dug her fingers into his skin.

"Gee, babe, I didn't know ya' wanted my 'man-parts' that badly? Want a free sample?" he laughed, reaching the top and jumping a few smaller rooftops as he made a bee-line for their destination.

"C'mon, don't you like surprises?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, I'll pass," she said, rolling her eyes, even though he wouldn't be able to see the action. "Kouya's parts are better."

Now that she was used to the speed, she was able to relax her grip a little. It was easier if she didn't look down.

"I like good surprises. Like surprise! here's a bag of money in your closet, or surprise! that guy you hate was hit by a train, not surprise! I'm going to suddenly hoist you up ten stories."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"So you're strictly women, eh? Damned shame," he said, a bit crestfallen, "Ah well. I guess thinkin' ya' might be bi was askin' a bit much."

He took a sudden drop down another building, his right claw digging into the side of the structure and slowing their descent until he could jump off to the ground.

"We're here!" he exclaimed, pointing to the destination a short distance away, "After you, my lady."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

She almost laughed out loud, except then he dropped off the damn side of a building and she had to swallow a gasp instead.

"I'm strictly for Kouya," she corrected him, when she could finally talk. "So there's no way to tell what gender I like better."

She followed the line of his arm to the restaurant and smiled, tapping her fingernails on the ridge of his shoulder blades. "Gonna let me down?"

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

He bent low to the ground, "Of course, there you are."

After a few minutes of walking, the entered the building and were greeted by the hostess. Greed chatted with a her a few minutes and gestured to Yamamoto to follow them.

"We got a nice seat," he said, pointing to an uncrowded window area, "Quiet and with a nice view."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

To be honest, she really didn't care where they sat as long as it was someplace a waiter/waitress could easily bring them food.

But she had to admit, the view was nice.

They got seated, and Yamato ordered something pink and alcoholic to drink, just to see if she could get away with it (which she did. Apparently the City didn't believe there was such a thing as underaged drinkers), and then hooked an elbow around the back of her chair.

"So, Greed-san, how long have you been here anyway?"

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"It's just Greed, chick. I've been here about a year, now. Was pretty much facing a death sentence on my world."

He ordered a large slab of beef and a pitcher of beer. Let it never be said he didn't eat healthy.

"So what's the deal with the ears and tail on people from your world?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Then I guess being trapped here comes as more of a pleasant surprise for you than a problem, huh."

Pasta and cream sauce, hmm. She could do some sit-ups later, right? No such thing as bad carbs.

"Ritsuka-chan didn't tell you?" she said, a little surprised that Greed didn't know the significance of having ears. "They're markers of virginity. You lose them when the cherry pops. It kind of caused a stir at the school when I lost mine. Too young, they said. Kouya's more modest, so she wears fakes."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"I'd say so. Especially with all the fine ladies. And even some guys. I could never say that back on my world," he said, cracking a shoulder joint.

"Yeah, he told me, but hasn't anyone questioned why they look like cat ears and tails? I mean, you guys smell 100% human, so I don't know why so many other humans from other worlds don't have the ears and tail. Be cool if they did. It 's very exotic. Ritsu looks adorable."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"In my world, all the guys look like ladies," she replied. "Sometimes you have to check in the pants, just to make sure you've got the right gender."

"Ritsuka-chan always looks adorable, ears or no. But I hope Agatsuma-san let's him keep his for a while. He still needs to act like a kid for a few years, and stop being so serious all the time."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Really? I was created in the wrong world, obviously."

"Well, I can see that. They do seem kinda' close, but then he seems close to his crazy bro, too. He's just weird, with all his cryptic talk. I still owe Soubi a date."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Obviously," she sang. "Agatsuma-san looks prettier than me sometimes. It's unfair."

"Oh, Seimei still has his ears. I think he's a little too Mysophobic to be a concern for Ritsuka-chan. He is a creepy bastard though, I'll give you that."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"No, he's feminine-faced, but he's still got a very masculine body type, unlike Ritsuka. Seimei I haven't seen seen in person. With Ritsuka, it's like he looks cute, but if ya' did him the ears would come off, and he'd lose some of his exotic look. It's a cache-22."

Greed gave her a blank, dull stare.

"...Myso..Myo...What?"

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Well you could always make him wear falsies. Kouya says they itch like crazy, though."

"Mysophobic," she repeated. "Scared of germs. I bet he washes his hands twenty times a day or more. Seimei can't bear unclean things. I can only imagine what he thinks of sex and bodily fluids."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm okay with that. It's mainly the face and eyes that I like. Not that I'm one to talk. My eyes are violet and feral-lookin'."

"But wasn't he some sort of fighter? How can he do that without touching the opponent? I can't imagine bein' like that."

[z-e-r-o-shame.livejournal.com]

"Nothing wrong with violet eyes," Yamato snickered, draining the last of her drink. It hadn't lasted very long.

"Fighting is different in our world. You don't use your hands, you use words of power. After the battle system is initiated, the Fighters attack by saying spells. The Sacrifice receives all the damage from the attack, so the Fighter's objective is to protect their Sacrifice. But you can also draw power from your bond and your name. It's...kind of complicated."

[so-very-greedy.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like it. I'd never be able to do that. I'm not exactly a wordsmith. I could probably come up with some interesting insults, though."

Greed glanced out the window, then back across to his "date".

"So what's your deal. How were you made?"
