X, or Sai as he was sometimes known, was busy trying out some frog stew he cooked up when Ai walked into the room and placed a small electronic device in front of him. It resembled a small white square with a screen on the front; it also had the 'Apple' logo on the back. For a moment, X thought it was something to eat...actually, he hoped it was something to eat. All he could think about was food, for some odd reason.

"Ai...what is this thing?" X asked his female assistant.

Ai smiled and replied, "It's called an ipod. You can play music and things on it. I thought you might be interested in it..."

X stared at the little thing called an 'ipod' for a few moments before asking, "Umm...what kind of songs does it have?"

Ai shrugged. "I'm not sure...I just snatched off some homeless bum on the way back from the store. I'm pretty sure he stole it from someone too, so it was only fair that it was stolen from him...just so you know..."

Tossing the little thing to the side, X said, "Why did you even bother getting it, anyway? I have no use for it..."

Ai stared at X, and then at the little ipod lying on the ground. Picking it up, she scrolled through the music, hoping to find at least a single song from a certain band...the only band that X ever loved. Finally, just when her hope was wearing thin, Ai found exactly what she was looking for.

"Hey, X..."

"What is it, Ai?"

"This ipod...has a Spice Girls song on it..."

"HOLY.FUCKING.SHIT.IN.A.HAMBURGER.WITH.CHEESE.AND.KETCHUP.PLUS.SOME.DELICIOUS.GRAVY!!"

X had been a major Spice Girls fan long before Ai even met him on that fateful plane ride long ago. Handing the ipod to X, Ai found herself almost giggling at how childishly cute the little shape-shifting mass murderer was acting. It was like he was a completely different person.

While X hopped around and danced to the tunes, Ai decided to start putting away the rest of the groceries she bought. She was just inspecting her new jar of pickles for any possible cracks when X bounced over and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks for the ipod, Ai-chan..." X cooed almost seductively before running off to dance some more.

Ai touched her cheek and blushed furiously. She ended up completely forgetting about the pickles.

'I should get stuff for him more often. Maybe that new Spice Girls CD I saw earlier today...yeah, that'll work...'


A/N: MORE NEURO, BABY!
