Kazuhiko thought for a while, deeply. "Take her on a picnic." he suggested. "Do something romantic. Let her know you still think she's pretty, stuff girls like." he shrugged. "Get her flowers, the whole bit. Or marry her. That has a lot of those things." he smiled softly. "She'd like that..."
Shiori nodded slowly. "To say the least..." she agreed. "Alright. Deal." she sipped her wine. "Deal."

"And if someone handed your enemy all the tools needed to kill you and made a valient attempt at it, what would you do?" Fir pointed out. "Plus the fact that that was the Fianna way."

"As would I..." Po-ar whispered. "You do have quite the point, Kazu-kun... Could you convince her to meet me at Capsule Corp within the hour?" he asked, figuring out just what to do in the meantime.
~ ~ ~
Aled smiled, "Glad we could come to terms, Shiori-san. And I do hope you don't think I'm after a whore as you put it."
~ ~ ~
"There's no need to thank me, Yuki-san." Watari replied with a smile as they walked. "I do as Aled-sama bids... and I try to have fun in the meantime." he teased.
~ ~ ~
Itachi shrugged, "That's happened on multiple occasions, Fir-san. Unless ordered by the Ou... I would have done nothing."

Kazuhiko nodded. "I will." he promised, kissing his cheek. "Love you Otousan... Don't worry. I won't let anything bad happen to either of you."
What a sweet kid.
Shiori raised an eyebrow. "Why should I care? What you do in your spare time is none of my concern. Besides, you couldn't get me if you tried. You're not bad looking, no, but I don't know you, and honestly, I don't think you're my type." she shook her head. "Frankly you can hit on me all you want and I won't respond with anything short of violence."
Yuki giggled. "I can imagine he's not a very fun employer..." she mused softly. "Wonder where Shi-chan went?? Ah well. What's for dinner?"

Smiling, Po-ar watched his son scamper off.
Quickly... the Tarnb-jin Ouji was gone, having hopped through his portal.
He had a plan...
~ ~ ~
Laughing, Aled smiled. "Hit on you? Shiori-san, I fear you've misunderstood. Your incessant arguing amuses me. I suppose that's also part of the reason I hired you. Even from the Ou of Tarnbsei... you'll take no s**t."
~ ~ ~
"Anything you can possibly want." Watari replied, leading Yuki into the kitchen. "As for Aled-sama as an employer... I've had worse bosses."

Shiori looked surprised that he actually said this. "Oh. Right. You're Ou." she mused softly. "You looked the same as every other jackass I know or have met... so... I guess, unless I'm done amusing you---and I'm getting paid overtime for that---I'm taking this bottle of wine and getting out of here." she rose to her feet. "So are you going to dye your hair or are you always going to look so old?" she snapped.
She was a spitfire and a half. She made Kaguyo look saccharine sweet.
Eww..
Yuki smiled. "Really? Like what?"
But when she saw the food, she licked her lips, looking at the platters longingly. "I don't know what I want to try first..."

Itachi's eyes narrowed, "Without my orders, I would do nothing. At least, not to the extent of killing."
~ ~ ~
The Tarnb-jin Ou's ki forced the bottle from Shiori's hand. It floated to land next to him.
"If you want this vintage, you'll have to deal with drinking it with me." he smirked. "As for my hair... it is proof of the Tarnbsei Royal bloodline... marking us as descended from the Daemons of old."
~ ~ ~
"Try anything and everything you like." Watari smiled. "As long as you live and work here... it's yours, Yuki-san."

Yuki shook her head. "I've never tried any of this." she whispered, glancing to Watari shyly. "What do you suggest?"
Shiori raised an eyebrow, moving over and taking the bottle roughly. "Well, you look ancient." she retorted curtly, "And no, I'm not sharing."
She was just as stubborn as he was.
She poured herself a cup, chugging it before pouring another.
It was almost gone.
"I'll drink from the bottle if I have to, but I don't have to share with you or anyone." she shook her head. "You can take it out of my paycheck."
Kazuhiko reappeared, tugging on Morrigan's skirts. "Otousan says dinner'll be ready for you both in an hour." he smiled at her. "I'm going to stay and train with Oniisan ok??"
She nodded, kissing his head. "I'm going to go train the kids. I'm sorry sweetheart."
"For what?" he blinked. "Hush."
Soon he was helping the others prepare Kitaria for her funeral pyre.

"Well..." Watari looked over the dishes already displayed. "What sort of food are you in the mood for? Food-group-wise, that is."
~ ~ ~
Aled smirked, "Really?" he asked before laughing. "Well then, you'll have to work quite some time to pay for it, Shiori-san... That single bottle costs nearly 15,000 gil alone."
His smirk turned to a smile.
"Which was why I suggest you drink it with me. That way, I fit the bill... and not you."
~ ~ ~
But even as Kazuhiko was talking to Morrigan... Po-ar was planning.
Never before had he gone to such lengths.
His Pink Elephants were helping him cook and set the mood of the room.
Within moments of the end of the hour, everything was ready.

Shiori looked surprised at first, but, her first act of silent defiance was to finish drinking the wine from the bottle herself.
She sat it down on the table, crossing her arms and staring at him. "Nothing you can do about it now." she shrugged softly. "Perhaps you should have thought twice before making the maid comment."
She said she would. She was no bullshitter, that was for certain.
She leaned in, patting his cheek gently. "Look, hun, it's not you, it's me. I hate people. Sweet and simple, no one really gives me much reason to care. So. Sorry. I'm a callous b***h. That's how it goes. However, the wine really, really was delicious, so I'm going to bed now." she smiled--although it was sarcastic.
"I appreciate you picking up the tab." she added, flicking his nose.
No fear ******** nodded, while Kazuhiko went to work.
She helped clean up with Eara, at least until dinnertime.
Kazuhiko helped by teleporting her there, the woman appearing on the lawn outside.
He decided to warn his father first. "HERE SHE COMES!" he whispered hoarsely. "Get ready!!"
Yuki frowned. "All." she answered. "It's been a while since we could eat..."
Or be warm for that matter. She was adoring this heat.
"It's so warm in here..." she closed her eyes. "This is the first time in forever I haven't felt drafts..."

(((OOC: Hey! Could someone throw me an IM via MSN? I need someone to read over my LOTR fanfiction submission for Teitho (if you read Teitho contest stories, and vote in them, then you can't read my story at this time, sorry. That'd be unfair to the rest of the contestants). I don't know if my fever addled brain produced the ending of a story that made any sense...
Anyway, if I don't respond quickly, I will eventually. I may have fallen asleep. I woke up at about 10, it's almost 12 now, for the sole purpose of finishing this story (I have to have it finished by Wednesday at 8pm Berlin time, it's currently almost 8pm Tuesday Berlin time).
But yeah, will someone please read it for errors or thoughts and sentences that make no sense.
If you like my OC Legede... he's in it! And it's chalk full of Elfling Legolas, Legede, and Thranduil (they're the only 3 characters in it).
It's about... Legolas learning archery!)))
~ ~ ~
Aled rose an eyebrow at Shiori's comment. "If your blatant mask to hide your emotions was not so obvious... I could have had you thrown in prison for such comments."
The Ou was still Ou after all.
"Someone hurt you it seems... Not that it matters here. All wear masks to protect their hearts, it is the way of the palace. But I wonder..." the Tarnb-jin stood, pacing to the fireplace. "I wonder just what that person did to piss you off so much..."
In all actuality, Aled didn't need to wonder...
It was his innate ability to read the thoughts of those around him, after all...
~ ~ ~
Before Morrigan could open the door to Capsule Corp however, a small portal appeared.
One of the Pink Elephants flew out, a sign around it's little neck.
'Mor-chan... Within is a gift that has been long overdue in being given. All I ask is you wear it... and follow the arrows.'
Strangely enough, the Pink Elephant had a dark purple arrow painted on it's side.
And arrow that pointed into the portal.
Within, laying on the bed, she would find a beautiful green gown, shimmering and shining as if made by nature itself...
~ ~ ~
"And you'll never have to feel them again... well... unless Kaguyo gets angry and decides it needs to snow... again..." Watari smiled, pouring himself a glass of water.

"You could've, but you won't." Shiori called his bluff. "You let me push you around easily. Your masks are transparent as well." she shot. "Not that any of that is your business."
She missed her family. She was tired of struggling. She sure as hell didn't trust him for anything, job or not, hated the rich....
But when he tried to dig deeper, he found himself frozen.
She still had her bandanna on, her eye opening beneath it as her eyes met his, glaring. "Perhaps you had better keep your mind to yourself. Not everyone is blind to such things." she warned with a snap.
Morrigan raised her eyebrows, before beaming at the dress. "Oh Po-ar..." she whispered, shaking her head.
She quickly got changed, even going so far as to put on jewelry and makeup.
More importantly, she wore his favorite perfume on her. Sure he liked almost anything, but the one that smelled like vanilla, amber, fig, pomegranate and spices seemed to catch his attention anytime she wore it.
She brushed through her hair, seeming to know that something big was going to happen. "Wonder what he has planned??" she asked an elephant quietly, giggling.
Yuki smiled, chuckling softly, but she was surprised. "She could do that???" she asked in disbelief. "No wonder the snow's been so bad lately.... Well, it's alright, I understand. Shiori hates the cold with a passion, and she's usually pretty nice unless she's cranky. She doesn't really like people though, doesn't talk."
She had a cup of tea, but she gathered some food and sat down, starting to dig in.
She didn't really talk much either, really.
"Tell me about our latest project." she decided after a bite of food. "Tell me everything you can."

(((OOC: I voted... I think... Kiaran, right? I wanted to make sure I picked the right one.)))
~ ~ ~
Itachi smirked, "You aren't the first one to tell me that, Fir-san."
~ ~ ~
"True..." Aled nodded, "If you see me wearing a mask, Shiori-san, do tell... what is it I hide?"
Oh yes, he was going to challenge...
~ ~ ~
The Pink Elephant appeared to laugh, before pointing her in the direction of another portal. The first had disappeared as soon as Morrigan entered.
What she would find, Po-ar hoped, would steal her breath away.
He had toned down the lights in the Capsule Corp balcony dining room. It overlooked the city, a city that was aglow with the lights of those not yet gone to bed.
Western City never stopped glowing...
A table was set, candles, flowers, the entire package.
And there were two plates, each one filled with the best sushi and seafood that the Japanese world could provide.
There were two small bowls of rice, as well as manjuu buns for desert.
And a bottle of red wine completed the picture.
~ ~ ~
Watari sat, taking in everything Yuki had said.
The scientist wondered just how Aled would do with his new servant...
"My latest project is to perfect an arm... a replacement arm, actually."
