Welcome to Gaia! ::

Umi kissed Greed back, giggling.
Raiden poked his head out of the bathroom. He had undid his ponytail wrap, and his white hair fell to his ankles. He had thrown a white towel on, and with his delicate looks, he could pass easily for a woman. He waved at Greed. "I think we keep giving each other the wrong signals. You and I shouldn't fight. We should get along. Really. Now how about you and I get to know each other better, hmm? A nice bath--"
Umi closed the door on Raiden's face. Raiden yelped in pain.

Raiden opened the door again, rubbing his nose. "That wasn't very lady-like..."
Umi stuck out her tongue.
Raiden shooed Umi into the other room. "I need to talk to Greed for a moment. Go. Shoo."
Umi looked grumpily over her shoulder, but left the room.
Raiden turned to Greed. "Hey, now. Even I need me time. Okay? It's kinda sad when the God of Lust can't get any. Got it?" He pushed some hair out of his face. "Besides, I'm omni-genderal. I can be whatever I want to be. It's kinda handy." He smiled wickedly. "Not that I'm trying to steal you away from Umi, but...I could show you one hell of a good time."
Umi threw her boot at Raiden's head.

"That's not what I meant and you KNOW IT!" Raiden yelled, frustrated. He stomped back into the bathroom.
Umi giggled. "I have no idea what you two were talking about, but I had a feeling I was supposed to do that." She took her boot back from Greed.

Umi smiled at Greed. "You could make me breakfast...or at least help me with it." She giggled. "Unless you have other ideas..."

((My thoughts exactly))
A scream sounded from below on the street. Panic and discord seemed evident. Umi, surprised, got up, and opened the window. She went pale. "Greed...?"

Down below, on the street, Hien, Rocky, and Susanou stood. Susanou held a sword to a person's throat. "SISTER!" he yelled. "COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE! OR THIS PERSON WILL DIE!" He waited a beat, then sliced the person's throat anyway. "Too slow," he laughed, and grabbed another.

Susanou grinned evilly at Greed. "How will snapping my neck help you?"
Hien and Rocky had their weapons pointed at Greed as well. Susanou had his pointed at the spot where Greed's stone lay.
"Kill me, and they will kill you and everything close to you. Your shield is nothing more than an irritation. These weapons can pierce the strongest steel. Not even the Gods themselves can stop them." He laughed a sinister laugh.

Susanou looked at Greed rightiously. "Umi is a very special girl. She is superior to humans. And if Father wishes to complete his task of irradicating all the unworthy people off the face of this miserable planet, he needs her powers as well. Father can give us unimagionable power...power that even the Gods fear." He chuckled darkly. "Doesn't that excite you, Homoculi? The power to kill the Gods? I myself had taken my name from the Lord of the Gods himself! He was unworthy of it!
"And as for why I hate you..." Susanou's eyes became dangerous. "You have stolen my precious sister from me. You have tainted her. She doesn't love you! I love her more than you ever will! Sister is MINE!" Susanou had definately crossed the line of sanity. He was a raving lunatic.
Hien twitched beside Greed, a small sign. Rocky too seemed to tremble a little.
