"And THIS… is DeathScythe Hell but I call him Death for short."
Megumi looked up, awed at the large hunk of metal in front of her. Not that she would EVER call Death that to his face. She knew better than that…
"Hey pretty guy…" she whispered. "I'm Shinimegami."
The eyes of the Gundam glowed a bright green for a moment before it moved a huge metal hand to hover near her head. A finger extended and Death started to pet Megumi's hair lightly, tickling her into giggling softly.
"Nice to meet you too, Death. Thanks for taking care of Shi over here while Angel and I couldn't."
"Hey!" Duo protested. "I can take care of myself, ya know! And I'm older than you, anyway…"
Megumi turned and grinned only to gasp as she was scooped up into Death's large hand.
"I like you too, but what do you think of the crush Shi has on that guy, Heero?" she said, sitting cross-legged on the Gundanium metal palm to look into Death's green eyes.
The eyes flashed and she was instantly bombarded with thousands of pictures of battles already past in her head.
She laughed and patted the thumb sympathetically as she stood up slowly.
"He's that bad huh? Don't worry, buddy… I feel your pain." And she jumped off, landing with hardly a sound even though the fall was more than 20 feet high. Duo frowned and crossed his arms over his chest as Megumi dusted herself off.
"No fair, Death…" he whined at his Gundam. "You're supposed to be on MY side… not Meggie's!"
The Gundam's eyes flashed once before going out completely, giving the Gundam equivalent of a shrug.
"Traitor!" he told it before turning to his sister who was grinning at him rather wickedly.
"So… You shot him in the leg when you first met…" she drawled, smirking when he blushed. "You must've really liked him then… if you didn't kill someone you thought was your enemy at the time."
"Shut UP Meggie!" Duo growled.
"Why? This is fun!"
"Because you are in serious danger of getting a frizzy head of hair and being roasted to a crisp."
Megumi made a face.
"Ooh! I'm soo scared… Shi-ni-ga-mi's losing her temper!" she sing-songed loudly while twirling around Duo.
"And YOU are going to lose something else before I'M done with you," he threatened.
Megumi stopped twirling and stuck her tongue out at him, giving him a nice juicy raspberry.
"Make me, you wuss!" she dared.
