There he was, standing in a yard, mismatched eyes glancing every-so often to a small slip of paper of his own writing .. making sure he had the right place. Well, he had made a right there, and then left .. just like Google had told him, but he still wasn't sure.
Urahara sighed, rubbing the back of his head with a bandaged hand and messing up his low tail a little. Having somewhat gotten a day off from training from those crazy twins, the young adult had decided to take the oppurtunity to finally visit Zanna. But, truth be told he had no idea where the hell she even lived. Hesitating and almost against his own nerves, he ventured to the shop to thankfully miss anyone that was there - and any noises from the upstairs - to get directions.
So, again. Here was the red head standing in the yard, unsure if she was even here. If he recalled, Zanna had a vampire as a mother ... and, though he had wanted to meet her, maybe... this wasn't such a great time.
"Buu~"
"Not now, Mu.." Ura swatted at his newly acquired weird funky little red familiar thing that was a 'gift' from his keeper.
"Buuuu ~" It started again, beating it's little black wings carefully in a hover near his line of sight. It's little bell jingled, trying to get the attention of it's master. "Buu! bububububu."
"WhAT-oh..." Oh, so that's what the little gnat was pointing at, another part of the house. It was kind of oddly shaped, off to the side.. but maybe, it was worth a try.
Clasping his arms behind his back, carful not to detach the tanto strapped to his belt buckle behind, he made his way over... his awesome new black boots crushing the grass.

Zanna was indeed in her cubby, home from Greece while she continued to heal. Her wound, because of how deep it was, still hurt her two weeks after Galena had originally healed her. She had been warned of this, and reminded constantly by the ugly gash of a scar down her right side.
Having taken off her tank to rub whatever the healer had given her to help ease the pain that the would still caused her, Zanna was simply in her bra and an elegant, purple sarong that was trimmed in golden thread. A gift from Bellanca, her city's second queen, who was ruling while Zanna came home to rest.
She winced as a dull pain shot through her stomach, radiating out to her side, but didn't have time to dwell on it when she heard footsteps coming towards her home.
Within seconds, the Amazon had one of her daggers in hand, despite the fact that she was still shirtless. The medicine was forgotten, and so was the pain.
Yep, she was ready to answer the door should anyone knock now.

"Buu ~" Mu carried on, zipping this way and that and jingling all the way. Little wings beating hurriedly, wanting to see everything it could in this new place. "Bu..." It awed over a simple tree which branches twisted and knoted in a way it had never seen before.
Simply ignoring the creature, Urahara continued forward towards the door, or what he figured to be the door... well, it looked like a door. He slowly raised his left hand, the stopped. Bandages, and a few stitches, yeah not the best one to knock with. It lowered it to rest at his back once more while raising the right - still bandaged but not as bad - and let out a small rap upon the wood. This in process caught Mu's awesome attention and brought him buzzing over to hover around his master's head.
... and so, they waited.

Ahh, there it was.
Zanna made her way to the door, peering out of the peep hole and raising an eyebrow at the sight that greeted her. Ura? Smiling slightly to see a weapon on him, and possibly to see him as well, she unlatched the door and peered out.
The hand with the dagger supported herself on the door's edge as she looked around it, keeping her shirtless torso away from the cold air that was now rushing into her home.
Her side throbbed due to the angle she was at, but she ignored it for now.
"Hello Ura, come in," she motioned him in, and shut the door behind her. The dagger was sheathed and then placed back where she had retrieved it from. Afterwards, she dealt with the medicine, closing it, not at all bothered that she was shirtless in front of him.
A bra was like a swimsuit top anyways, and Ura had seen her in one of those during the cruise-thing, "How have you been?"
The Amazon's crown was resting on a rather ornate pillow, made from the same fabric as her sarong, and the pillow was ontop of the coffee table for now.

Urahara offered his ally a small smile in return, taking no mind of her shirtless predicament - though he did find it a bit odd with the chill outside, but decided not to question it. "Hello Zanna, been a while." Still just smiling as he was ushered in - Mu now just resting on his shoulder, head darting around in excitement.
His eyes glanced around his small home as well. Huh. Cozy. An eyebrow raised when he noticed the medicane she was now fiddling with, but as the shirt thing went, he didn't bring it up... maybe things were beginning to make sense. Anywho. Attention back to the dark haired female herself, "Been decent, training somewhat, you?"
.. Then his eyes caught sight of something really shiny and pretty. His gaze remained on the crown and pillow, transfixed, hypnoticed. Pretty... Shiny .... Ooo.

She finished rubbing in the medicine before going to pick up her discarded shirt. Carefully pulling it on, she winced as she lifted her arms above her head, still healing wound twinging.
Her tank was soon on and she raised her eyebrow yet again at his comment, "Oh training?" Zanna was slightly surprised.
"You know, the usual... Killing Queens, reclaiming thrones, and nearly getting killed." She gave him a sage nod, motioning to the wound on her side, "In case you didn't notice."
The moment she saw the gaze in his eyes, Zanna stepped between him and her crown, "And that's mine." The Simu's look definately screamed hands the ******** off.
Zanna -did- have to kill someone for that crown.

"What? Oh.. oh.. uh, yeah." Ura shook his head out of his daze and turned his eyes back to to Zanna, now with shirt. What had she said earlier? Oh right.
"Yeah, chirigami asked an acquaintance of her's to train me in some basic things. Well, turned into two of them, but yeah.. basic things. Hurts somewhat." He slowly began to murmur, not really want to expand on the subject someone - it was still kind of hard to explain that he was basically getting his a** kicked by two crazy females. Not to mention what he recalled what Zanna had gotten herself into.
"Killing.. queens?" He questioned, not having caught where she had motioned to her wound. "Well.. put two and two together with the wound... but, killing queens?" Eyebrows fully raised in question, what the hell?
Mu chirped softly, unusually quiet as it stared at the strange Amazon woman. It wasn't sure about her....

Motioning him to take a seat on the bed in the 'living/bedroom,' Zanna made her way over to the bed, carefully sitting on it and swinging her legs so that she was sitting at the head of it. She leaned against the pillows there, finding that position quite comfortable.
"Training is not without its wares, besides... I've heard chicks dig scars." Smiling slightly, Zanna nodded in agreement to his question, "Yes. I killed an Amazon Queen in order to reclaim my throne."
She was proud, and it showed, "So I will be back and forth between here and Greece from now on, which will be interesting... I cannot teleport like Nyoka can." Frowning, she shrugged it off, glancing at him.
Growing silently, the Amazon moved her eyes towards the wall across the room, eyes closing momentarily before she reopened them and asked Ura a question, "Ah... Have you seen anyone else around? Elijah maybe?" She sounded nervous, almost pained even, since she had not heard from the bird Simu since the cruise. Truth was, she missed him, but Zanna had been so busy with training to think of him too much.

"True," The red head sighed, "But I don't think they'd dig bruises..." Which was the majority of what littered his body, that and sore muscles. He burhsed a hand against one of his cheeks almost absent mindedly as the thought of the first punch crossed his mind, thankful the bruise and his black eye had already healed.
With another sigh, Ura followed after the Amazon to her bed. As she sat at the head, he took a seat at the foot, feet still on the ground as he wasn't taking much space on the bed. And he stared at the ground, thinking over what she had said, so... Zanna was a Queen then. Huh, okay that was really weird and a bit scary - images of stick figure Zanna danced in his head as she laughed evilly. He picked his head up and turned it in her direction, causing Mu to finally take flight and hover near his head, and just blinked at Zanna.
"I haven't seen anyone since the cruise..." He simply answered, biting back the bitterness - though Elijah wasn't apart of the Moron brigade, so maybe he wasn't as bad as the rest of them, but still. "Why?"

"They'll heal," she said with a slight nod, eyes glancing over his back slightly. He looked smaller than she had remembered, or maybe she was just taller.
Her eyes darkened considerably when he provided her with no news of Elijah. Gritting her teeth she sneered somewhat, anger boiling over for the most part, "******** b*****d..."
Pausing, she brewed, and then ranted, mostly to herself, "Birdy flew the coop. Spied on me naked and flew the ******** coop. Flew off the island without telling me! God damn ******** a*****e!"
Finally, she hissed, a hand going to her side after the yelling had excited her wound.
Cherry on the ice ********," she murmured, gritting her teeth and relaxing only when the pain subsided. This was getting old fast, but Galena said she could do no more and the rest would have to heal naturally.
"Take my advice, never get stabbed in your side and live... Hurts like a b***h," Zanna grunted, obviously displeased with her lack of mobility.

Uh. The young adult scooted over away from her, as she started to rant, eyes wide as he kept going and only stopping when he noticed there was no where else to go but off the bed. So, he had gotten a little better at not being a total wimp but man did Zanna still scare the s**t out of him. Just don't talk, she won't notice and try to hurt you over this instead.
The hiss brought Ura out of his escape plan and flinched slightly - it was somewhat surreal to see her in physical pain, to him she was like a tank or something. "I'll keep that in mind," Eye twitch. He made a mental note to ask the twins if they had anything for something like this; they were from some other plane of existance, they might have some ultra healing majik stuff.. or something.
The red head opened his mouth, ready to pull that stupid line about the other person probably being in worse shape, in hopes of cheering her up or something but stopped and clamped his mouth shut. The person who gave her the wound was probably the one that was dead, so nevermind about that one. "So...." He opted for instead.

She noticed him scooting off the bed, and she absently reached down with her foot to give him a sharp push in the back. That's what one gets for being a sissy.
"I'll be fine," she grunted, "I'd just like it to heal so I can get back to training, and Greece." The city was in such bad shape, and Zanna didn't want to be gone for too long, though she trusted Bellanca. There was so much that needed to be done.
Sighing, she rubbed a hand over her face before looking over at Ura again, "So what type of training?"

Ura swatted at her foot as he repositioned himself a bit better on the bed, being so far to the edge was rather uncomfortable. Mu puffed itself up, still hovering by Ura's head, unsure of what to make of the situation.
"A lot of hand to hand, martial arts type stuff, Neko is starting to train me on daggers and small blades and the like, while her sister is working on majik and that sort." He shrugged, "Most of the time just getting my a** kicked," Ura mumbled as he fiddled with the bandages around his right hand.
"So, you plan on spending most of your time in Greece, from now on?" Was that a teeny bit of disappointment in his question? Well, maybe, Zanna was probably the only Simu - besides Itsuki - who he trusted; it would suck to lose an ally 'cause of a long distance.

Zanna nodded her approval, and even looked a bit jealous that he could do magic, though she tried not to let it show too much.
She caught the disappointment, but didn't say anything of it. Instead, she sighed softly and shrugged. "Well, the...my city is in great need of repairs, and I'm sure my people won't respect me if I simply came, killed their queen, and then left... You know? It is my responsibility."
Frowning, Zanna looked thoughtful for a moment, "The main problem I have is getting there, since I can't fly or use magic." The young adult pushed her hair from her face before continuing, "Besides, I will be staying here until I heal."
It was obvious that growing had made her less of a giant b***h, or at least, less of one to Ura, among others.

"Understandable, you have your duties that need to be fulfilled," He nodded, trying to cover up his earlier slip of emotion. Gah, Ura mentally kicked himself.. stop acting like a child over this, you can still keep in contact.
And with a smirk, Ura looked up at her again, "Hey, maybe when you get better and I finally got this teleporting thing down... I can get you there or something, you could show me around." Would be nice to see some place other than Gaia or chiri's realm. Wait.. Amazons, they didn't like men.. did they, "Your people wouldn't try and kill me, would they?"
An army of Zannas ... okay, that was a scary mental image.
