Chapter 4! Money for Nothing and Frogs for free!

"Do you want me to hurt you?!" Kuja yelled at a guard at the Treno gate. The Guard shrugged. "Ok, so you have some odd death wish? You want me to grant it?" Eiko grabbed Kuja's arm and yanked on it. He glanced at her. "What?!"

"Listen, you and I can wait out here while Freya and Vivi get the frog. I had Garnet wire me some Gil, so they'll be fine." Kuja shook her off his arm and the guard sighed.

"You may find this hard to believe but we tend not to let crazy planet killers in our town." The guard grinned and there was nothing Kuja could do about it.

"If they are with me, you'll let them pass…" Kuja looked behind the guard and Eiko grinned.

"Amarant!" She shouted. She ran past the guard and to the huge, red haired man. Kuja also walked past the now terrified guard, flicking his tail in the poor man's face. Vivi and Freya were standing by the fountain. Amarant nodded.

"What brings you around?" He glanced at Kuja. "And didn't we kill him?" Kuja glared at the man but Eiko smiled.

"He's one of us now! It's a long story but we need to go to the Auction House!" Kuja frowned and placed his hand on his hip.

"Since when am I, the great and all powerful Kuja, one of you pests?" Vivi rolled his lightning yellow eyes and sighed.

"Kuja, someone needs to pop that balloon you call an ego." Kuja's fist balled up and he towered over the mage.

"What?!" He shouted. Freya got between the two.

"Kuja and I will go to the Auction House, ok? Eiko, you and Vivi wait here…" With that, she grabbed Kuja's hand and dragged him up the stone staircase.

"Sold out?!" Kuja exclaimed. He grabbed the Auction House dealer by the throat and slammed him against the wall. Freya sighed and tapped Kuja on the shoulder.

"He can't breathe right now. How much info do you expect out of him?" Kuja's lips curled menacingly but he dropped the man. The man rubbed his neck.

"A…a man came and brought all the gold frogs we had! He was real stupid looking, had this crappy armor on that was all rusty and clunky…" Freya smiled and nodded.

"Was his name Steiner?" She asked. The man nodded and Freya sighed heavily. Kuja shut his eyes.

"Is this that idiot loud mouth knight we're dealing with?" Kuja asked Freya. She nodded and he placed a hand on his head, shaking it sadly.

"Where did he go?" she asked. The man stood up and straightened his bow tie.

"He said quote, "The Queen will love these! They shall find it amusing, since her husband was a frog recently!"" Freya sighed and shook her head.

"Then he went to Cid. That's where he is. The frogs are in Lindblum." Kuja groaned and shook his head.

"This is becoming quite the wild goose chase. Well, let's get going then…" Freya nodded and the two rushed from the Auction House. The dealer's eyes widen and he held up a potion bottle with a green liquid inside, a mini frog swimming in it.

"Wait!!" he called. "Can I interest you in this rare Frog Kiss item?!" He waited a moment and sighed. "Guess not…"

************************************************************************

"So we have to go to Lindblum Eiko. Steiner has the frogs and he's going to give them to Cid." Eiko nodded and she and Vivi ran out of town, with a hurried bye to their tall friend. Freya smiled at Amarant.

"I'll see you after our quest in done." He nodded and she and Kuja walked from the town. When they were outside the city, Eiko saw a Mog with several Chocobos. She glared at Kuja and stomped her foot.

"We are taking Chocobos and Kuja, no yelling this time!" she shouted. Kuja smirked.

"Whatever you say, Princess Screamalot."

Author's Note: Ha ha! Poor guys! Oh well, now to see Cid!
