The Start of it All

[RyderHakubi]

Yamiko stopped waving her arms and looked towards the approaching Cardinals...

"I'm sorry, but for the glory of Lord Keril Palazzo, you're going to have to die now!  Just think of it as being bitten by a stray dog!" Yamiko cheerfully stated as a set of bluish green energy lances shot out from the space behind her and headed towards the Cardinals.

[Shuten]

Meros' Soldiers chanted as they performed Yevon's decree with a smile. It went a little something like this...

Who are we?
EXPENDABLES!
Yes we are Expendable!

Repeat Adnaseum.

Thus the Expendables truly lived up to their name as Yamiko's attack struck them down.

It is my pleasure to report that they all died with a smile on their face and a twinkle in their eye. ^^

Ace blinked.  Then it was all over.

There were cries and shouts and screams of people in their death throes in the distance.  Then it was silent.  

"Hey Rat, anyone else coming or is it just us?"  He called back.  "Ah, scratch that.  Kwok and his girlfriend probably need some alone time, huh?  Is Ryder coming?"

He shifted the girl over his shoulder's  weight to his other shoulder.  He realized that if Kwok saw him carrying a girl over his shoulder he would never let Ace live it down, which is why he remembered with relief that Kwok probably wouldn't be coming anytime soon.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat shrugged.

"Kwok's girlfriend was about to beat the crap out of him last I saw, and I figure Ryder will follow pretty quickly. Right now, I'm more interested in that girl."

So saying, he walked straight up to Yamiko and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Yo. What brings you here?"

[Kwokinator]

Kwok came up behind Ace.  

"Who're you carrying on your shoulder, bro?" he asked. "Finally getting a girl?"

After asking the question, he stood there and pretended to wait for an answer from Ace, but he was really paying attention to Yamiko and what she was going to say to answer Carthrat.

[RyderHakubi]

Yamiko turned around and accidentally smacked Carthrat in the face...

"HI!  MY NAME IS YAMIKO YAMIKO, OR JUST YAMIKO FOR SHORT!  I WORK FOR LORD KERIL-SAMA AND HIS SECRET IDIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF BESIDE WHICH IS PLOTTING TO CONQUER THE ENTIRE PROVINCE OF MEVA!!!" Yamiko happily exclaimed... then blinked and added, "Wow... so excited that I gave my full entrance..."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok blinked.  She was damn enthusiastic... and looked ditzy too...

But hey, it wasn't like Angela was that much better in being non-ditzy... plus, Yamiko Yamiko, or just Yamiko for short, was cute.  Very much so.

He mentally smacked himself to detrain his thoughts from how cute the girl was.  Angela probably wouldn't be too happy with him if she ever found out what his current thoughts were...

[acetalon]

"No Kwok, this is not a girl and your are not seeing me carry her.  Its all in your mind,"  Ace answered sarcastically.  "Right now you aren't talking to some weird girl who came outta nowhere and you are actually sleeping between Angela's breasts right now."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok blinked.  That was unexpected...

"I am?"

"He grinned.  Since I'm dreaming, then I can do THIS!"

Winding his arm back, he punched Ace with a right hook across the face as hard as he could.

[acetalon]

With his arm around Sakura's waiste, Ace was left defenseless.

"What, you can't do that when your awake?"  Ace replied, cracking his neck and shaking off the pain.  "And watch where your punching! You could have hit...the thing on my shoulder that isn't a girl."  

Ace kicked Kwok in the leg for good measure.

[Kwokinator]

"Sure I can," Kwok grinned as he lifted a leg up to block the kick. "That was just an excuse to hit you for talking about Angela that way."

"So it's a thing now?" he asked, smirking. "Not a girl?"

Before he finished the word girl, he reached over with lightning speed and tried to draw back the hood on the "thing that isn't a girl".

[acetalon]

Ace turned to the side just was quickly and smacked Kwok's wrist away from the hood with his free hand.  He saw that coming a mile away.

"Don't you know what personal privacy is man?"  He remarked.   "Besides, I'm sure you'd put your head on her chest if you could.  I can't think of one girl in the world you wouldn't."

[Kwokinator]

"That's not the point," Kwok growled. "I don't think about Angela that way.  She has a great body, sure, but it's not why I love her."

"Besides," his expression suddenly went from serious to smirking in 0.1 seconds flat. "You said she's not a girl.  And she's out like a light right now.  So what do you care?"

[acetalon]

"The point is that you'd DO it if the opportunity did come up,"  Ace replied, laughing.

He quirked an eyebrow.  "So only girls get privacy?   You seem to think she's a girl anyways."

He suddenly remembered how nice and curvy she was and his mind started to wander...

Shaking his head, he tried to glare at kwok.  "Anyways, why do you care?  Trying to cheat on your old girlfriend...again?"

[Kwokinator]

"Maybe I will," Kwok glared at Ace. "Or maybe I won't."

"And sure," he grinned. "Cute girls get privacy... after I see how cute she is."

He sent a fist at Ace, trying to nail him in the stomach. "I've never cheated on Angela!"
