Log;

It took Flonne a while to get the right directions, after all, she hadn't been in the city very long. She hoped she could memorize all the locations soon enough, and as she flew through the air, she certainly hoped she had gone the right way. Her red eyes scanned the area, holding tight to the bow and arrows in one hand and a bag that contained the treasure she promised in the other.

"Ah~! There it is!" She said, spying it and making her descent, her red wings flapping slower. Her feet made contact with the roof and she shielded her eyes from the sun. "Hellooo?" She shouted out cheerfully. "Are you there Mist--Oh, I mean Greed?" She looked around her surroundings, frowning only a little bit. He said that she could use any method she wanted, so she hoped her magic wouldn't do too much damage.

Greed stepped out from behind a pillar, dusting off his pants. He pushed his hands into his pockets and walked up to the semi-demon, looking her over.

"Don't look like much of a fighter," he said, cracking his neck, "But I also don't hit girls, so it might help you out."

He sat down and crossed his arms, waiting.

"So, how do we do this?"

"Oh, don't worry about it!" She put on her usual smile, setting the bag to the side. "Looks can be decieving. I may not look it, but I am a very expirienced fighter!"

Flonne paused, and thought for a moment. She assumed it would be standard training, but it became apparent that her idea of training was radically different from others and would some set rules.

"Um...how about..." She examined the edges of the roof. "If you get knocked off the roof, you automatically lose!" She blinked. "Unless that'd be too much..." She realized something rather obvious. "Oh! And obviously, if I use my wings I get disqualified. That way, it'll be fair!" She exclaimed with a ditzy smile. "Sound good?"

"Hm...Okay, that works. I guess I can understand that," he said, popping his joints and cracking his neck a few times, "Good luck with it."

He jumped in place and did a few warm-ups before taking his stance. Who did this girl think she was? He really hated to fight with cute young girls, but some people just had to fight.

"Thanks! Good luck to you too!" She said, stretching out her arms, taking a glance at him. He was a lot bigger than herself, and by the looks of it, a lot stronger. She'd have to use strategy over power if she wanted to even attempt to win.

"Ready when you are~" She called out cheerfully. She flicked a tendril of blonde hair behind her ear, ready and determined, even if it looked like she was slightly outmatched this time.

"Sorry, I don't like to take the initiative in this respect. Even with girls. Please, you just hit me with your best."

He lowered his arms and raised his shield, the flesh on his body quickly changing.

"Gimme' what you've got."

Flonne's eyes widened, wondering about the change that had undergone her opponent's body. But that's okay! She'd fought against status effects before, she could...she could do this too!

"What I've got...?" She nodded, determined to do her best. She went through her spells mentally, before charging forward, swelling fire appearing in both hands and casting a fire spell directly at him, with all the force she could muster.

Greed felt his body pushed back by the force of the blast, his heels dragging backwards in the ground. He opened his eyes when he no longer felt the heat, looking at the young girl.

"Sorry, sweets, that kinda' thing won't work. This skin is too hard for it."

He casually walked forward, approaching her location.

"I think you'd better think of somethin' else."

"Wh-wh-wh--!?" That was just a bit unexpected for the fallen angel, she had been working really hard on that spell too! If that couldn't get through...what would? No, no! I can't think like that! I'll stay optimistic~! She made quick steps back, devising a new tactic.

--! Of course! She smiled now. The objective wasn't to necessarily cause pain or break the shield...it was just to knock him off the roof! She giggled and clapped her hands. "Alright~ Prepare yourself."

And Flonne bolted forward, and past him this time, all the while, firing forceful blasts of fire at him in a barrage. She snatched up her arrows in a quick move and fired one, charging it with magic power.

Greed chased after her, following her path of movement as he extended his arms to block shot after shot with his palms. He started to gain on her when he noticed a shift in the air and saw her concentrating on something.

"What the...?" he said, jumping back to gain some distance, "What might this be, hm?"

Isn't this where all the heroes in the action anime that she loved so much cry out their attacks in a fit of justice? Flonne entertained the idea of making a heroic show of it for a split second, but her attack couldn't wait any more.

In a show of bright white light, she released the arrow straight towards him, pleased at the power she had put into it, and standing idle for a few seconds to see the effect.

((Sadly, there aren't too many references online, but if you want to know what the attack looks like/power behind it, this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=p3om6hMrYac) shows it at about 3:32 in. Totally up to you if he dodges. \o/))

Greed scrambled backwards from the mass of light heading toward him.

"Wha-wait! Wait!" he yelled as the arrow struck, an explosion of light energy hurled him backwards toward the edge of the roof. As he rolled off, he dugs his claws into edge and used his arms to swing himself back around.

"I don't think so!" he yelled, landing several feet from her, "I'm NOT goin' out like that!"

"Better keep on your toes, then~!" Flonne chimed, getting another arrow ready and dashing back several meters. These arrows weren't as strong but she could fire more in a much shorter time.

Now it was getting really fun--and she just couldn't resist a giggle as she sent a few more arrows flying, dodging him as best as she could.

He ran after her, swatting away shots as he went. As he began to close in, he laughed with her, beginning to view this more as a light game than actual combat.

"Ya' can't fun forever!" he yelled, leaping high in the air and coming down on the ground in front of her.

"Boo!"

Flonne didn't feel any alarm in his laughter, as innocent as she was, she kept viewing it as an enjoyable round of tag. She kept firing arrows, even as he dodged him, but fretted as she suddenly realized...she had shot all of the ones she had brought! She dropped her bow to the side, being forced to go back to her fire magic.

But there he was, right in front of her before she even got the chance to take one more shot. She leaped back in surprise, and mistakenly landing on the very tip of the railing.

"A-A-Ahhh!" She flailed her arms, trying to keep her balance, sadly having to resist the urge to use her wings to propel herself to proper balance.

Greed dashed forward and dropped to his belly, sliding the last few meters to catch her in his arms. He yanked her back up and plopped her on the deck, standing back with his hands on his hips.

"Heh heh, almost lost ya' there. I'd hate to see a pretty girl have somethin' happen to her."

"...!" Flonne let out a gasp as she fell to the deck with a soft thud. It had happened so fast, she looked over the edge at the steep fall she would have taken had he not made the dash to catch her. Gotta remember not to make a rooftop the boundary again...

"Thank you so much!" She looked up at him with a big smile before standing up and dusting off her little white jacket. "I guess this means you win! I would have fallen off had you not caught me." She stole another glance over her shoulder. "And that wouldn't have been very fun!" She bowed her head and skittered over to the little bag she had set aside, picking up broken arrows along the way.

Greed followed, picking up the bits of arrow as he went. He placed them into her bag and dusted his hands off.

"So, Miss Flonne, was it fun enough?"

"It was!" She replied cheerfully, putting the rest of her arrows inside and slinging the bow over her arm. "I learned lots from you!" She added, rummaging around the bag for something that seemed to be at the very bottom.

"As for the treasure I promised you..." She finally pulled out a little velvet bag, closed tight by a drawstring. "I know guys don't like jewelery, and it's kind of small, but there's a lot of power in this little ring. It's helped me plenty of times!" She pulled out a metal ring, set with a dark purple stone and ornately carved.

"And I hope it can help you too!♥" She said, setting the ring in his hand.

"Sweet!" he whistled cheerfully, examining the ring, "So tell me, what's it do?"

He shook the object in his hands a few times, as if it would react.

"Does it do tricks?"

"You mean like, magic...?" She shook her head. "No, there isn't anything in the Netherworld that can do that to people who don't already use magic. But the ring will make you stronger, increase your stamina, make you faster, and focus your attacks to make them more accurate, as long as you're wearing it of course!"

She giggled. "And increase defense, but by the looks of it, you don't need that. If you're ever in a tight situation, try it on!"

"Hmm..." he scoped out the ring, holding it up to the light, "I guess that's pretty cool."

He knelt before her and grasped her hand in his, laying a kiss on top of it.

"It has been my most esteemed pleasure, Miss Flonne."

"A-And mine as well!" Flonne stuttered slightly, a tiny blush on her face. "Thank you for taking time to train with me! I really appreciate it, let's do it again sometime!"

She blinked a bit before suddenly realizing. "Oh, I have a few more people to train with today, so I'm afraid I must be going for now!"

"Sure thing," he said, standing up and pushing his hands into his pockets, "See ya' around, babe!"

And with that, he jumped from the roof and was gone.

"Bye bye!" She shouted after him, giving a wave.

She then put the bag of arrows over her shoulder, ran across the roof and lept, this time the wind catching her wings, and flew off towards her next opponent.
