Milan
One of the many fashion centers of the world, Milan is a densely populated city focused on art and beauty. Among the gorgeous city are even more gorgeous people. It also happens to be pretty close to a Ley Line.

In the wink of an eye two figures appeared in a small, empty courtyard beneath the eaves of an olive tree. In Milan it was midafternoon, the springtime temperature cooler than normal. Sahara blinked, eyes adjusting to the light. She hadn't been to Milan in over a year. And last time she'd still been human."Welcome to Italy."

I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal!
This animal, this animal.☽ {OOC}:

 ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ Yuko staggered slightly when his feet hit ground yet again. He bumped into the trunk of the olive tree, and shielded his eyes against the light. When he was used to the brightness, he looked around with child like wonder. " I've never been to Italy. Rather.. I've never been out of America." He said softly. He stepped out from the cover of the leaves, and did a slight circle, observing his surroundings. " Absolutely beautiful. If business didn't tie me to New York, and Kori wasn't such a handful, I may just spend a few months here.." The male twin said softly. He took one step forward then stopped, and offered his arm to lady Grei. " Lead me around Sahara. I am unfamiliar with this place." Yuko said with a large grin. He was excited to find out whatever guci was. Or.. Whatever that word was. ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Sahara looped her arm through Yuko's and gave a small smile. "We might get lost. I haven't been here in awhile. But I'm pretty sure I can still speak Italian." Sahara started up an ambling walk, leaving the court yard and entering the cobbled streets of Milan.
The streets were, as always, filled with tourists, wanna be models, and reporters. "Oh no..." Sahara sighed as the paparazzi caught sight of the debutante. "I forgot about this." There weren't many paparazzi on the Demon Plane. And naturally, they were swarming. "Miss Grei, Miss Grei!", "Yuko! Guardare qui!" and a few other phrases were called out as the camera flashed. Perfect. Just perfect.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ Smiling. Sahara was smiling. This brought a smile to Yuko's face before he turned away and looked ahead. Women in the latest trends - and unattractively revealing shirts - traveled in packs, cameras, tourists in the weird little shirts. Suddenly he was slightly blinded with flashing, and he blinked twice before remembering what paparazzi was. He tilted his head slightly as he heard his name, and he knew little to no Italian. Leaning towards the 'no' side. He then turned towards Sahara and gave a dazzling smile before leaning towards her ear. " And what are we to do with these pests? Play hide and seek? Or pretend they arent here?" ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

"I think I'd rather just dazzle them." Sahara winked, turning back to smile at the paparazzi. "Ciao." Giving a brilliant smile, Sahara watched as the cameras began to flash again. And then, one far off the side exploded into a bright light. Then the next...and the next...
Amidst the surprised squeaks of the reporters, and the blinding lights of their flashes going haywire, Sahara grabbed Yuko's wrist and tugged him backwards and away from the people. "Time to go." She took off, pulling Yuko with her and running, heels clacking against the stones of the street. She didn't stop until they rounded a few corners and came to a nondescript square centered around a fountain frothing white water at its base. Sahara broke into a laugh. "That is the first time I've ever run from the paparazzi." she shook her head, brushing back a few stray bangs that had fallen from her pony tail.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ Yuko was about to ask what was going on in her head, but he was cut off as he heard a pop. One camera, then the next. All of them seemed to explode. Grinning with amusement he began to run with Sahara, laughing at the odd stutter steps she took as she slowed down. When they had come to a fountain, and stopped, Yuko joined Sahara and laughed, then put his hands on his knees as he panted slightly. " Oh my.. That is my first encounter with paparazzi. Ever. I'm simply known as being very rich. Nobody knows how, and thats fine by me." Yuko stood tall and looked down the open ways, searching for any pursuers. " So.. I wonder what the papers will look like now. I didn't know you were this big Miss Grei." ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

S leaned against the terra cotta wall behind her and grinned."Comes with the whole CEO territory. Much more conspicuous that your line of work." A small child raced past with a cone of frozen goodness, and Sahara's brows arched. "Okay, time to try something tasty and forget about tomorrow's news reels." ...she did not even want to think about those.
Taking Yuko's arm again, the young woman strolled up to the gelato cart and ordered two cones."Prego due gelati." the shop cart worker bent over to scoop the delicious treat while Sahara turned back to Yuko."I can't believe you've never tried this."

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ Yuko chuckled and watched the little one run by. Seeing Sahara's brow arch his belly began to fill with butterflies. Not for the 'I think I'm crushing on her', but 'oh my.. what is she thinking?'. Yuko gladly offered his arm and followed Sahara's lead to a little cart. One sniff told him it was deathly sweet. Yuko smiled and laughed. " I am too. Judging by your excitement over such a treat, I'm assuming its positively delicious." Yuko then smiled and paid the man twice he owed. Money meant nothing to him, and he didnt mind spending carelessly. There was plenty of money in his account at home, this one was simply his spending account. The man then handed over the cones, and Yuko took his, and handed Sahara hers. He eyed the treat wearily before giving it a lick, and he damn near melted in the street. His eyes widened and his smile grew. " I have never tasted anything like this. It's bloody delicious. Whats the name of this again?" ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Gelato. And you can only find the perfect kind in Italy." Well no, there had been this one place in Fort Collins...
Sahara licked at her cone, enjoying the cool and smooth taste."So, aside from running a very covert operation, what've you been doing?" she began strolling again, enjoying the warm sunshine more than she should.

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ Ryuujin laughed and shook his head. " Sahara.. I don't run something that terrible. We are more of a clean up crew. Mobsters gone bad." Yuko paused and smiled, tilting his head slightly. " We tie up loose ends, and keep the other parties in control. Police in the underworld you could say. Kori deals with the hunt's herself, and I deal with the big guys." Yuko then took a few more licks of his sweet delight and thought. " Actually.. My life has been rather life orientated. Keeping Kori in line.. Runing the crew.. I've had very little time to myself. Today I'm leaving everything to my second in command." Yuko then took a large bite, and froze. He had forgotten he had sensitive front teeth, and he started flapping his free arm like a retarded chicken breathing through his mouth, trying not to drop the sugary god. " Col col col col coooollllll!!" ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

At that she rolled her eyes."I didn't say it was terrible. I said it was covert." She contemplatively continued eating her gelato while Yuko continued speaking. Glancing back at him, she opened her mouth and nearly dropped her cone.
What was he doing? Impersonating a chicken?When she caught sight of the bitten ice cream, Sahara couldn't help it, she started giggling. He looked ridiculous!

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ The sharp cold had passed, and Yuko finally managed to finish his mouth full. Looking over to Sahara he reddened slightly as he saw how hard she was laughing. Mission success. But.. Still. " I'm sure it wasn't that funny." He stammered. He then looked down at his cone, and very carefully took a lick of his cone. His ears still bright red, he began walking away, slowly starting to smile, snicker, then laugh himself. He acted like a fool, and he prayed no camera caught that. ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Grinning, Sahara caught up with him."It was hilarious." Quite so. In fact, she had never expected to see Yuko do that. Ever. "Pretty sure that kid there will never forget it." she added, noting the red tinge in his ears. Was he embarrassed?

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ✖ Yuko chuckled and his embarrassment slowly faded. " If thats the case, I'm glad then. I promise you this Sahara. The only two people that will ever see me like so are you, and my sister. I'd appreciate it if we kept this to ourselves." Yuko didnt want the others to know just how soft he could be. His friends and family were precious jems to him. Like a dragon protecting his treasure pile, he would try to protect them as best as he could. However, the Grei woman seemed to have little need of a protector. This thought brought a smile to his lips. " You are a strong woman Sahara, in all ways. Remember this." Yuko smiled warmly before taking a bite of his cone, this time only wincing from the surprise pocket on the inside of the cone. ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
