Mr. Chin greeted the pink haired woman who came in to shop. He thought she had an eye infection, her pupils looked kind of red. The hat she wore was nice, with flowers on it. He checked out a customer and wished her a good day. Since that yokai was around, it had been a while since he'd seen any Yakuza. Better yet, more people were coming here to shop. A couple businessmen had even stopped in and were shopping today.

He checked out another customer, then the pair of men came to the counter. They only had a small bag. The second man went to watch out the windows.

"Greetings," the man at the counter said with a smile. "We are here to prevent you from having any trouble. A mere payment of fifty thousand yen a week, and I assure you, your wonderful store here will be protected from harm."

Mr. Chin laughed. "We need no protection from you. We have a yokai protecting us!"

"I heard those rumors as well," the man said. "I am not talking rumor. Very bad things can happen to you. We only want to ensure your business or yourself does not suffer any damage."

The man by the window flew back out of sight, pulled by nothing.

Mr. Chin caught sight of this. The man in the suit facing him didn't. He smiled. "Sir I suggest you leave and never come back. Unless you want to be eaten by a yokai."

The man's smile vanished. "I heard there are arsonists about. It would be a terrible shame if your store burned to the ground."

"How would that happen?" a strong female voice asked.

They looked to see a female shaped Venom carrying a store bag walk up and stare down at the man in the suit.

"That man is Yakuza!" Mr. Chin announced, pointing to him.

Turning pale, the man squeaked out, "I'll be leaving now." He moved to go and stopped in place, his arms to his sides as if they were being held.

"Don't leave, you're lunch."

The man opened his mouth to scream, then his head was bitten off. Mr. Chin watched as the rest of him was eaten. Venom/Kaede then burped. She put the bag on the counter. "You need cleanup in isle three." she said.

Mr. Chin bowed. "Thank you! Please accept your purchase is no charge!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chin." she said pleasantly, picked up her bag and walked out.

Mr. Chin smiled. His wife Minori hadn't told him Venom yokai was female. A nice female shape for being a yokai as well!

.

Eddie did get his story put together as Venom went of to munch on someone with Kaede. He had his papers stacked up in order and knew what he was going to say in the newsroom broadcast. The piece he did on Venom was very popular, and he was hoping just talking about Venom in the newsroom would get him out of a face to face interview. His excuse was Venom had refused to go on camera, but was willing to talk about himself. As long as that was accepted, he didn't have to worry about trying to do a video session.

Kouta was getting his things together for work in the morning. A strong female voice behind him asked, "So, how do I look?"

Kouta turned yelped out an "AHHH!" and backed into the dresser. It was Venom, but now with a very female shape.

Venom retraced, and Kaede stood before him. Grinning broadly, she said, "Kouta, that was awesome! We followed a couple men into the Chin's grocery store. They were Yakuza as we suspected. We ate the bad guys and got free groceries!" she said happily.

"You … ate the bad guys?" Kouta asked weakly.

"We did, and the combination of my vectors and Venom's tentacles worked together very well. They never saw us coming!" Kaede said brightly. "I have to go give Venom back to Eddie, I just wanted you to see him in me before we do." he kissed him and said, "Be right back."

Kouta swallowed. He was glad Kaede was happy, but unsure how to feel what she was happy about.

.

Nana and Mayu came home from school and happily greeted Kouta and Kaede home. Sitting around the dinning room table, Kouta showed them pictures of where they went and explained the places they'd seen. Nana made sure Eddie and Bill came over to watch too. Nana sat in Eddie's lap.

"Nana, there's a chair right there," Kouta pointed out.

"Nana can't see from there. This is better." Nana explained.

"It's fine," Eddie said. More and more, he was liking Nana around him.

'You mean you want to make babies with Nana,' Venom thought.

'No.'

'Yes. The only reason you're not playing Mr. Octopus right now is other people are here.'

'That's not true!' Eddie thought back firmly.

'Really? Tell me one place you haven't groped Nana.'

Eddie tried not to frown as he listened to Kouta explain the national shrine in Tokyo.

'Don't worry, Nana wants it.'

'Can you keep your thoughts to yourself?'

Venom chuckled. 'What fun would that be?'

.

By the time they were done listening to the trip, it was time to go start dinner. Nana and Mayu got up to go get things started, Kaede went with them. By themselves at the table Kouta asked, "Eddie, Venom can switch bodies?"

"He can, for short periods of time," Eddie explained. "What he can't do is stay outside a body. He wanted to go get some food, and Kaede was willing to take him. I was busy, he just transferred to her, and they went. I was able to concentrate on what I was doing."

"And they ate a bad guy at the store," Kouta said in a huff.

Eddie shrugged. "No surprise there. It may seem odd, but there's an enzyme Venom needs. It's found in only a couple places. Human brains and seafood. I got Venom convinced to only eat the bad guys. He's been holding to that."

"That is not a good example for Kaede," Kouta said firmly. "I have been trying to get her stop killing anyone."

Eddie let out a snort. "I want everyone to get along and stop all the crazy stuff. I see selfishness and greed everywhere. Some things just aren't possible, Kouta. We change what we can. If we can keep Kaede and Venom just getting rid of the bad guys, then I think that's a win for everyone."

"Yeah," Kouta agreed in a breath.

.

That night, Nana was anxious to get ready for bed. She had a nice bath with Mayu and Kaede, then reminded Eddie he had to go in tomorrow and hustled him off to bed with her. He he he. After getting some good kisses and some wonderful rubs, Nana had to ask her question.

Lying naked with Eddie and he was petting her softly, Nana asked, "When is Eddie going to marry Nana? Nana really wants to."

"So do I, Nana," he said and kissed her. "I can't marry you until you complete school."

Nana frowned. "What does school have to do with getting married?"

"That's the way it is," Eddie said with a huff. "If I marry you any sooner, the boss will fire me. I'll be out of the job and have to go back to the US."

Nana moved up on one elbow. "That's not fair! Nana loves Eddie!"

Eddie smirked. "Life isn't always fair, Nana." He traced a finger down her cheek. "Sometimes we just have to do the best we can."

Nana's frown deepened.

"There's nothing I can do about it," Eddie pleaded. "In the US you have to be 18 to get married."

"Here Nana's old enough," Nana countered.

"I know," Eddie said with a sigh. "But in the US you're not. I'm a citizen there, so I have to go be the rules there. I'm sorry Nana, but we have to wait."

Nana frowned at Eddie then asked, "Is Eddie going back there soon?"

"I don't know. If this Venom piece is as big as I think it is, I might be going back for a piece on the news there." Seeing Nana eyeing him, he asked, "Did you want to come?"

Nana glopped on him. "Yes! Nana wants to go with Eddie!"

Nana holding him tight caused a big reaction in his groin. Venom also chimed in.

'Yes, plow her fertile fields! You know she wants it!'

'Shut up.' Eddie thought back, but the idea did stick with him. In fact, it was getting hard to resist doing just that.

"What's this?" Nana asked and stroked his hard member.

Eddie was going to lose his mind or blast an eruption over her. "Ahhh, Nana we're getting too close…. to being married." he said weakly.

"Nana don't mind," she said softly and continued stroking him. "This is really hard."

"Nana," he begged, and lost his voice to tell her to stop. He hugged her tighter. It was so hard it hurt.

Nana learned about this in school. Softly, Nana said, "It will be OK, Eddie." She climbed up on him and guided him in.

"Nana!" he cried weakly as she slid down over him. Sitting on him, she couldn't quite get it all in.

"Nana likes this," Nana said and squatted down harder. She opened herself up and plunged down on him.

Enveloped by the heat of her body, he exploded up into her, pressing his face onto her shoulder as he orgasmed hard.

Nana held him in place and smiled, enjoying the sensations. She kissed his head. When he leaned back a bit she kissed him deeply. "Eddie like that?" she asked as he panted.

His mind reeling, Eddie gasped out, "I… you … we…" He tried but was unable to come up with a coherent thought.

Nana giggled at him. She petted his face and kissed him again. "Eddie can do anything Eddie wants with Nana. Nana wants him to."

He finally managed to say, "I don't want you getting pregnant, Nana."

Nana sat back on him, which pushed his shaft into her. Finger to her lip, Nana said, "Nana don't think Nana can get pregnant. At least, that's what Nana heard."

"What?" This was news to Eddie. He'd just had the surprise orgasm from hell, but he was getting stiff again, up inside her.

Nana explained, "Papa said Nana can't have a baby because Nana's a sliplet. Nana's missing something inside."

"That's terrible!" Eddie cried. "Can nothing be done?"

"Nana don't know." She then raised up and settled back down on him again. "But Nana does like this. Eddie gets to rub Nana on the inside too!" she beamed.

'Let her ride you, cowboy!' Venom thought with a chuckle.

Eddie's mind was going mush. Nana just told him she couldn't have kids, but she didn't dwell on it. She did plant his hands on her breasts and leaned into him.

"Do more with Nana!" she said eagerly. "Suckle on Nana, rub Nana inside!"

Dizzy with want, Eddie did. He turned Nana over so she was lying down and gave her all the attention she wanted. Nana really wanted it.

.

In the morning, Nana was feeling really good and was hyper-bursting at the seams happy. She made sure Eddie was awake then went to the kitchen to help Kaede make breakfast.

Kaede noted Nana sing with the radio and do little dances as she worked. Kaede chuckled at her. "I take it Nana had a good night?" she asked.

"THE BEST!" Nana replied loudly, beaming Kaede a smile. "Nana found that Eddie can't marry Nana due to Eddie's boss though," she said quieting down a bit. "Maybe Nana can convince him otherwise."

Kaede grinned. "Hang him out a window maybe?"

Nana pointed at her and beamed, "Yes! That would work! He let's Eddie marry Nana, or Nana will drop him!"

Kaede laughed.

"Morning," Mayu said as she came in.

"Morning Mayu!" Nana beamed. "Guess what Nana's gonna do! Hang Eddie's boss out a window until he let's Eddie marry Nana!"

Mayu stared at her. "Nana, I don't think you should do that!"

"Why not?"

"Because it's mean!"

Nana shrugged. "Only if Nana drops him."

Kaede laughed. "No one's dropping anyone out a window for now, so let's get breakfast done."

"We got the squid for Venom?" Nana asked.

"Refrigerator, he likes it raw," Kaede told her. "Don't get it out until the other things are done."

"OK, Kaede." Nana paused. "Kaede, should we call you mom now?"

"That's fine," Kaede said, offering her a smile.

"Kaede is our mom, Nana," Mayu said.

.

Eddie and Bill had to go in a bit early to present Eddie's piece on Venom. He presented what he had and the editor was pleased having the name of the yokai and a complete description. He also liked a woman had seen Venom transform from what looked like a normal human man into an eight foot yokai. The only Venom footage Eddie had was Venom leaping from one roof to another. Still, it was proof that this yokai existed. The editor was so pleased, he called Mr. Jamison in New York. New York agreed, they wanted Eddie to come back for a news special.

Nana wanted to go.

Luckily, Nana had her school ID, and since this was an educational trip, the school agreed to let her take a week off from classes. She did have to write up an essay on what she did in New York. With her ID, Nana got a passport, and a few days later, happily skipped to the airport to go with Eddie, wearing her school backpack.

Nana was excited, never have been on an airplane before. She wore her hat with fake flowers on it and a nice medium blue dress. Holding Eddie's hand, she went through the terminal eyeing all the new things she'd never seen before.

Nana was having fun. It was like another town! There were gift shops and restaurants, and places one could get pictures of Japan. "So many things here!" Nana exclaimed.

Eddie had fun just watching Nana point out everything she was seeing, even the overhead lights. He was also enjoying the bright look of discovery on her face. Coming to the check-in counter, he presented their tickets and got boarding passes and got their luggage checked in.

Seeing Nana was looking at everything, the woman asked, "Is this your first flight?"

Nana beamed her a smile. "It is! There's all kinds of things to see here!"

"I wish you both a happy flight," the woman told her.

"Thank you!"

Going to the boarding area, they had to pass through security. Eddie put their carry on bags on the conveyor and handed the attendant his camera. He let Nana go first. Nana stepped into the metal detector and waited. "Nothings happening."

"Miss, you are clear, come on out." a security guard told her.

Nana walked out to him. "Wasn't it suppose to do something?" she asked.

"It won't unless you have some metal on you."

"But Nana doesn't have any metal things."

"That's fine if you don't"

Nana watched as Eddie passed through. Again, nothing. That was a let down. They walked on to the waiting area.

Seeing the planes outside, Nana coaxed Eddie over to look at the planes. Eddie quickly found Nana liked looking at the planes taking off and landing. They stood by the windows until it was time to board their plane.

Although Eddie had a window seat, he let Nana take it. The first part of the trip, Nana had her face pasted to the window, first watching them take off, then looking at clouds and announcing every time she saw another plane.

The flight to Hawaii was long. Eddie took a nap most of the way. Nana kept watch out the window, hoping to see another plane. Eventually, Nana got tired too. There was nothing but ocean and sky to see. These seats weren't that comfortable, so Nana took her seatbelt off and carefully lifted herself up into Eddie's lap. It was still a tight fit and the large woman on the other side made it more difficult. Nana did get settled with her knees on the armrest, over the woman's large arm. She was just getting comfy when a female voice complained.

"Miss, you are on my arm!"

Nana opened her eyes enough to see the woman glaring at her. "Then move your arm."

"This is my arm rest, so move your legs off me!" the woman demanded.

"No, it's Eddie's armrest." Nana replied and snuggled in.

"You can't sleep on other people. Move."

Eddie woke up. "Nana, what are you doing?" he asked.

"Nana's trying to take a nap." Nana complained.

A stewardess came by. "Miss, you have to sit in your own seat," she said gently.

"You do, Nana," Eddie added.

The woman on the end jerked her arm out and picked her arm up to slam it down on Nana's knees. Nana pushed her arm a bit with a vector to make her hit herself. The woman frowned and did it again, again hitting her own leg. She glared at Nana. Nana grinned and said, "Don't hit yourself."

With a grimace the woman raised her arm up high, and again pounded herself in the leg.
"Ma'am, please stop that," the stewardess told her.

"Get her off my armrest!" the woman snapped.

"It's Eddie's arm rest, look." Nana told her.

Eddie rolled his eyes. "Nana, you have to sit in your seat," he said gently.

Seeing the woman's arm go up again as she crunched her face up in anger, Nana quickly slid back into her seat. The woman punched the arm rest hard and then yelp in pain.

Nana giggled.

The woman got up, red faced. Seeing this Eddie quickly put his hands up on the backs of the seats to block her way to Nana. "Whoa! Knock it off!" he announced.

A man came to their row and showed a badge. "I highly recommend you sit down, Ma'am." he said sternly.

Stabbing a finger at Nana, she stated, "She had her leg on MY armrest!"

"And you tried punching her," Eddie added. "This is a long flight so calm down."

"The seating is much more uncomfortable if you're spending the flight in handcuffs," the man warned. "Sit down and behave yourself."

The woman glared at him, then reluctantly sat down and cast glares at Nana.

All was quiet for a while. Then Nana had to go. Eddie was napping. Nana thought the woman was too. She lifted herself up over them to clear the seat. Just before she was clear, the woman grabbed her ankle and jerked down. Nana managed to keep from ramming her face into the floor when she fell. She did let out a surprised yelp and landed on her hands and knees. She got up and frowned at the woman.

"Try getting back in," the woman said with an evil grin.

Nana headed for the bathroom at the end. By the time she got back, she saw the woman's large arm sticking out. Reaching out with a vector, she quickly grabbed the woman's arm, lifted it up and smacked the man in front of her on his bald head.

"OW!" the man complained.

"Why did you do that?" Nana asked the woman.

"I didn't, you made me!" The woman snapped.

Nana stopped. "You did that, I saw you."

The woman got up and turned to her. "You grabbed my arm!" she yelled.

"No, she didn't. She was back there," a man across the isle stated.

The man with the badge got up. "Ma'am, sit down," he said firmly. She did, glaring at Nana as much as possible. The man with the badge handcuffed the woman's arms to the seat, below the armrests.

"Miss, get back to your seat," he told Nana.

Nana bowed and stepped carefully on the now vacant arm rests. Eddie, awake now, moved some to help Nana in place.

"That little shit made me hit that man!" the woman barked.

"She did not!" the other man watching stated.

The man with the badge went forward and talked to a uniformed man. He nodded.

Unfortunately, Eddie and Nana had to hear that woman complain she was innocent for an hour before she finally gave up.

When they finally landed in Hawaii, boarding was postponed until police came in and escorted the woman off the plane. Going through to LA, Nana and Eddie napped while some passengers left and other boarded.

.

By the time they flew into Kennedy airport in NY, Nana was exhausted from doing nothing but sitting on a plane. It had worn down her perpetual good mood. Leaving the plane, Nana hung onto Eddie's arm. She looked out the terminal windows.

"Eddie, it's daytime. It feels like the middle of the night," Nana complained.

"It's the time difference. We're on the other side of the world now, Nana," he explained.

"Yeah, Nana learned about that," she agreed. "We'll have our days and nights all mixed up." She then asked, "Why didn't Bill come?"

"He's taking some vacation time. Tomorrow I have to go in for the interview. You can sleep all day if you want."

Nana frowned, "But if we sleep during the day, then we'll be up all night and still turned around!" Nana insisted.

"OK then, bed right after a dinner out?" he asked.

Nana replied, "Yes, if Nana can stay awake that long."

Eddie got their bags and hailed them cab. It was 3:40PM here in New York, but he knew a good local place to have dinner at. They stopped by the hotel to register and put their bags in their room, then went out to the restaurant.

Nana had been learning English, but some of the people here she couldn't understand. A man saw Eddie and called, "Yo Eddie, whazz up?"

Nana looked up as Eddie talked to him briefly. They both saw Nana looking up.
Nana asked, "What is a Wazz? Nana don't see one."

Eddie and the man laughed. "Nana, that was a greeting, not something up on a building."

"oh."

"Nana is from Japan, she's still learning English," Eddie explained.

"Welcome to New York!" the man said with a big smile.

"Arigato! Er, Nana means, thank you," Nana said sheepishly.

"Enjoy your stay," the man said and walked on.

OK, so Nana knew what 'wazz' was now.

"Come on, Nana," Eddie said.

The restaurant Eddie took Nana to was a Chinese buffet place. They got their food. Nana was looking at each thing in the pans with a slight frown.

"It's Chinese-American," Eddie said and explained what each item was as they went down the line. "That smells good," Nana said, looking at the dark chicken pieces.

"It's General Tso's chicken. It's spicy," Eddie cautioned.

"Nana wants to try some." A few pieces floated onto her plate.

"Umm, Nana, please use the spoons," Eddie said quietly. He looked around, no one saw.

Coming to the Moo Goo Gai Pan, Nana said, "Soumen with veggies!" and scooped a big bunch up.

"Not quite, but close enough," Eddie told her.

Once Nana piled her plate high and Eddie for what he wanted they took a seat at one of the long tables. Eddie got them ice teas to drink.

Sitting side by side, they dug in. Nana ate a piece of the General's chicken then squeezed her fists and kicked her legs. "SOO GOOD!" she exclaimed. "That General makes really good chicken!"

"Like that, huh?"

"Nana does!" she beamed.

A young man with a camera around his neck came to stand on the other side of the table. "Mind if I sit here?"

"Have at it," Eddie told him.

Nana said, "You have to try the General's chicken, it's really good!"

"English, Nana," Eddie reminded her. He waved to the man. "Nana gets into her food. "I'm Eddie. This is Nana, she's from Japan."

"Hi, I'm Peter," the man said and sat down. Looking at Nana's plate, he asked, "Is she going to eat all that?"

"Yeah," Eddie replied.

Speaking English this time, Nana said, "Nana likes good food! This Soumen is even better that what Yuka makes."

Noting Nana didn't look that big, "Peter asked, "Where do you put it?"

"In Nana's tummy!" Nana said between bites.

Peter laughed. "It's just girls usually don't eat that much," he offered.

Eddie said, "Nana is high energy. She'll work it off, trust me."

Nana swallowed another bite and asked Eddie, "Its that how Venom can stay so skinny?"

"Venom?" Peter asked and stared at Nana. "How do you know about Venom?"

Nana munched down her mouthful and swallowed a bit audibly. "Venom lives with us! He's a good Yokai, he eats the bad guys. But he still eats more when he gets home. I think he's mostly stomach."

Peter's stare now gained a gaping mouth. "You live with Venom?" he asked in a higher tone.

"Nana, let's not talk about Venom, please," Eddie said.

"Where's this?" Peter asked Eddie.

Nana pointed and said, "Peter, are you a cameraman?"

"I take photos yes."

"Eddie! Bill didn't come with us, maybe Peter here can get pictures for you?" Nana asked.

"I'm sure Peter has a job, Nana," Eddie told her.

"Actually, I'm a free-lance photographer," Peter said quickly. "I usually get $50 a shot that you can use."

Eddie frowned. "That's it?"

"Eddie, maybe Peter can get a couple shots of Venom for you?" Nana asked.

'Bad idea,' Venom thought.

"Nana, I'm here for an interview, not to get more pictures," Eddie explained.

"But wouldn't some pictures be good for Eddie?" Nana asked.

"I already got what I need," Eddie told her.

"OK, Nana just had an idea," she said and went back to inhaling more Soumen.

Peter then asked, "How can you live with something like Venom?"

Eddie had to come up with something, so he said, "Venom isn't the only thing we have around that's dangerous. Kaede can be very .. destructive too. She thought she was made to kill humans. To keep them both out of trouble, I suggested that they only go after bad guys. We all know there's plenty of them around. They take care of the bad guys, the police and innocent citizens are safer and they don't get hunted for. It's win-win for everyone."

"You know them well," Peter stated more than asked.

"You could say that. Our house gets interesting at times," Eddie said with a crooked grin. "Although the crime rate in our area had dropped significantly. People with any sense are afraid to commit a crime."

"I can see why," Peter said with a snort. "I'd think you would be afraid just to go in that house."

Eddie shook his head. "No, believe it or not, we get along pretty good at home."

Gulping down another mouthful, Nana said, "Venom even promised he won't eat Mayu, or Nana's dress!" she beamed.

"Your dress?" Peter asked.

Nana nodded in and explained with an exaggerated motion. "When Nana first met Venom, he told Nana he'd eat Nana's dress if Nana didn't stop coming after Kaede. He said he'd make Nana watch as he did, and eat Nana's ribbon too!"

"He just wanted to keep you and Kaede from fighting," Eddie told her.

"Nana knows that now," Nana said. "Just like Nana knows he only told Mayu he'd eat her after she grew up so she'd come home with Eddie and have a place to live."

Eddie forced himself not to face plant. "Mayu was homeless and abused," he offered.

Peter looked off at nothing for a moment, then said, "That's not the Venom I know."

"People change over time. Maybe Venom has too," Eddie offered.

"Yeah, Maybe," Peter said in a musing tone. "Wish I could go to Japan and see that for myself."

"Eddie already has a camera man in Japan, and he has a video camera!" Nana boasted.

"I can't afford a video camera," Peter said in a dull tone.

Eddie watched Nana eat the last bite of her now empty plate. He also saw her frown at it.

"It's all gone, already?" she asked in a sad tone.

"Time flies when you're happily munching," Eddie offered.

Peter grinned. "Seconds, maybe?" he asked.

Nana looked at him. "Nana can go get more?" she asked hopefully.

"You can Nana, go get another plate too," Eddie told her.

"Nana only needs one," Nana said as she got up.

Eddie watched as Nana took her plate back to the line. A woman who worked there told her to just get another plate and took hers. Nana passed by the plates and one rose up into her hand. Eddie face planted.

Peter had noticed this too. He looked at Eddie. "See what she just did?"

"Nana's telekinetic. To the extreme," Eddie said quietly. "I've been trying to get her to not do that when we're out someplace."

"Eddie, you really live with some odd people," Peter said.

Eddie laughed. "You can say that again." He pointed his fork at Peter and added, "Something Mayu said at first, I thought was funny, but in a way it made sense. See, Mayu was abused at home sexually by her father and her mother was just mean to her, telling her she was in the way. Supposedly a 'normal family'. When Mayu was asked if she'd rather have a normal family, she shook her head and said she'd seen normal, and that scared her worse than anyone in our house. At least in our house, she felt safe. She's right. No one there will abuse or mistreat Mayu. Even Venom brought them home fast when they were in trouble."

"She had a real hard life then," Peter concluded.

"She did. Mayu and Nana are like sisters, they have bonded together, so neither of them feels like they are alone anymore. Kaede will rip someone limb from limb in a heartbeat, but she is protective of Mayu. Kaede had a very hard young life also. She hates bullies and mean people with a passion. She's also about the last person on Earth you'd want angry at you."

"I imagine you could make a mint doing a story on them," Peter noted.

'No way," Eddie replied with a shake of his head. "They have all been through hell, I'm not going to expose them for the media circus or the ones after them to find out where they are. They are safe and living decent lives now. I won't mess that up for them."

Nana came back with two plates, one full of just sea food. She made sure no one could see and tapped the seafood filled plate on Eddie's back. Venom came out scarfed it up and went back into Eddie. Eddie recoiled and looked at Nana.

She put the empty plate under hers and said, "Gomenesai, Eddie."

Eddie knew what she did. "Just be careful Nana," he told her.

"Ah, Nana, you dumped one of your plates," Peter noted.

Nana blushed. "Gomenesai." she replied and sat to start inhaling her second plate of food.

Peter looked at his watch. "Guys? It's been interesting meeting you, but I have to get moving." he said and got up.

"Bye Peter," Eddie and Nana chorused, Nana with her mouth full.

Peter went to pay for his dinner and noted there was no pile of food on the floor behind Eddie. That was odd, where did it go?
