Well then, without further distraction from my other crazy side, I present you, Greed (Ling) the Jealous!


Jealousy Doesn't Suit You

"What?!" Ling growled, his eyes narrowing as he crossed his arms.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your bodyguard, Lan Fan of the Yao clan for her hand in marriage," said the puny little punk.

Ling's eye twitched, but he took a deep breath, composing himself quickly as he stared at one of the elite warriors of Xing in the eye.

"Tell me, why the sudden interest in my personal guard?" Ling's eyes narrowed, this couldn't be good.

The young man with brown, slicked back hair and green eyes replied politely, "You see, I'm in need of an heir your Majesty, unfortunately my other ten wives are not able to be with child. I'm assuming Lan Fan is more than qualified, seeing as she is one of the best ninja's Xing has to offer and a woman of lithe stature," while the half brain's eyes were closed, Ling glared daggers at him.

"A woman of lithe stature? Is he kidding me?! Marry Lan Fan?!" Ling forced on a pleasant smile, hiding his clenched fists beneath his wide sleeves of his haori. He thanked his lucky stars that he sent Lan Fan to eat something otherwise he was sure she would either lung at this insolent man or would restrain him from doing so.

"Yo Ling," Greed waved a hand at him as he leisurely entered the room, still dressed in those hideous black clothes, in Ling's opinion anyway. No matter how much Ling had pleaded with him, he just couldn't get Greed to wear any of their traditional robes, he had tried wearing black and white robes but he had complained that and he cites, 'my boys keep playing ping pong with each-other, that ain't exactly great while running or sparring ya know?'

Yeah...In Ling's opinion that had been far too much information, even if they had shared the same body before, Greed was and remained crude and direct.

The young ninja who was begging for Lan Fan's hand one minute, looked like he would piss his pants in the next minute upon spotting Greed coming into the room.

Greed had remained in his...or rather Ling's lookalike form, he hadn't bothered choosing any other form, since that would have been 'bothersome'.

"Who's this guy?" Greed rose an eyebrow, his violet eyes narrowing at the visible shaking man.

"M-m-m-m-my M-Majesty...w-w-what is he doing h-here?" the ninja warrior, Shin, asked, fear nearly coming out of his every pore. Greed just rose an eyebrow in confusion, his hands in his pockets.

Ling was confused as well, "What do you mean? Don't you know who this is? Why wouldn't he be here?" Ling crossed his arms, sharing a perplexed look with Greed.

"B-b-but he is a H-Homunculus my Lord! A race we should fear and despise! I've heard they have tried to destroy the world!"

"Now, now, calm your balls man. I had a fucked up family, what can I say? My old man didn't exactly win 'Father of the Year'." Greed rolled his eyes, crossing his arms, "Anyway, what's the half pint doing here?" he pointed at Shin, who looked irritated and fearful at the same time.

Ling rubbed his forehead in frustration, feeling a headache coming on that weirdly hadn't been caused by Greed this time, "Shin here is asking for Lan Fan's hand in marriage,"

Greed suddenly started laughing loudly to the surprise of Shin and Ling.

He held his stomach then placed his hands on his bent knees to control his laughter. Shin gathered his courage and asked with a biting edge," What's so funny?"

When Greed straightened to his full height, his face was partly covered in shadows, making his appearance all the more intimidating as he closed in on Shin, "Look kid, I don't appreciate a stray barking at me, much less asking one of the best fucking ninjas in town to marry them. I saw you a couple of times with other women, what's with them?"

Shin, after mentally checking to make sure he didn't accidentally wet his garb from Greed's intimidating aura, explained with crossed arms, "They cannot be with child unfortunately, which leaves me without an heir," he sighed.

Greed's eye twitched, "Aw hell Ling, do you always have such stupid subordinates?" Shin glared at him, Ling just rolled his eyes.

"Did you think that maybe it's because you can't get any kids? Hell, don't blame such lovely women for your incompetence idiot," Greed sighed dramatically, shaking his head.

Shin growled and lunged at him from behind, but Greed was faster and had more experience, he ducked, grabbed the man's outstretched arm and turned it around sharply, he pressed his own hand against Shin's palm, pressing it forward to create immense discomfort and pain should he press any harder.

"Tch and you call this Xing's elite? Man Ling, I knew you would need my help with ruling the world," Greed shook his head.

"Greed, I'm not ruling over the world, I'm ruling over Xing. And you're a Homunculus," in reality though, Ling fully agreed with Greed. He hadn't known Shin was so weak.

"Yeah, whatever. Just keep those prying hands away from Lan Fan got it?" Greed commented, taking his leave, probably to raid the kitchen again.

Ling frowned, "My apologies for my friend, he seems...slightly at edge at times," Shin rubbed his arm, glaring at the general direction where Greed had disappeared to.

"Your Majesty, that means I can ask for Lan Fan's hand in marriage?" Ling dreaded this moment, oh and how he dreaded it.

From the outside he looked calm and collected, but from the inside, Ling was furiously jealous.

Yes the Emperor of Xing was immensely jealous. All because of Lan Fan, that troublesome woman with her beautiful smile and shy personality and her amazing skills in battle and-

Ling cleared his throat, "Let me ask you one thing, what reason, other than to produce an heir, do you have to marry Lan Fan?"

"To produce an heir, simple as that," Shin said simply, looking perplexed that his Lord would even ask him that. Ling frowned deeply.

Ling's request, or rather command, to abolish the concubine system in Xing, was still pending. He knew it would take a lot of time for his country to get used to it, as it had been tradition for so very long and the only thing the citizens of Xing knew. Ling and surprisingly Greed were against it, Ling had wanted to marry Lan Fan and have her for himself. Why Greed would want to tear down the concubine system was beyond Ling, as he thought he would want to have many beautiful women around him, as he himself has stated a few years back.

Whatever the reason, Ling knew Greed would certainly stop Shin from marrying Lan Fan if Ling himself would fail to keep him away from her, though Ling had the hunch he would physically stop him, break his limbs, tear his heart out, anything.

Ling sighed, "My Lord?" Ling froze, briefly wondering how he hadn't felt Lan Fan's chi directly beside him.

He turned around to regard Lan Fan, still wearing her mask, "Ah, Lan Fan, I take it you enjoyed your meal?" he smiled brightly, feeling his burdens lift almost magically whenever she was around.

Ling could practically see how Lan Fan narrowed her eyes, alone by the fact how her body stiffened slightly, "I sensed Greed's chi as well as Shin's here, has something happened?"

Ling found himself at a loss of words, wait...she knew Shin?

"You know Shin?" he blinked.

"Yes, we have interacted at times, I've given him commands to protect Xing while I was away and to beware of the Homunculi should they have attacked us then," Lan Fan spoke the truth, Ling knew that, he just couldn't help but feel that evil little twinge of jealousy deep inside his heart.

While Ling was thankful their interactions were only professional, Lan Fan would have made sure of that, not to mention Fu when he had been alive, he had always been very protective of his granddaughter.

"I see, well...to be honest with you, he came here to ask me for-"

"Lan Fan! Heads up!" Greed suddenly came storming in the room, Ultimate Shield up and his claws meeting the automail of Lan Fan's arm, as she pushed him away with a expert flick of her wrist.

Greed grinned, "Good, your reflexes haven't dulled," he crossed his arms, Ultimate Shield gone.

Lan Fan lowered her arm, "Greed, must we do this here? We have the training grounds for that," she placed her hands on her hips.

"Ah, ah, ah, no can do honey. You gotta be ready at all times, I don't think your enemies will wait for you at the training grounds to fight you," Greed smiled, "Besides, Ling here seems to be lost in thought, hell a sheep could kill him,"

Ling sent a murderous glare in Greed's direction, who just winked and grinned at him.

"My Lord, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Lan Fan turned serious again, forgetting her banter with Greed.

Ling swallowed the lump in his throat, turning away from Lan Fan, "Apologies Lan Fan, but Greed and I have something to attend to, stay here and wait until I return," if he didn't give her clear orders, she would have followed him.

Confused but obedient, Lan Fan remained in the throne room.


Greed walked beside Ling, his hands in his pockets, his demeanor serious, "Why didn't you tell her?"

"She will find out soon enough,"

Greed smirked softly, "Tch, stop acting like a tsundere and tell her already. I didn't mean the thing with that punk, that wouldn't work anyways, I mean tell her you are head over heels for her. When we shared the same body, we shared everything and yes I sensed your feelings for her. She's a fine woman Ling, don't miss that opportunity," Greed seemed very serious about this, something that startled Ling slightly.

"You know I can't," Ling frowned.

Greed growled, "Bullshit you can't! You're just too much of a piss-ant to make the first move, hell to think you managed to subdue me at one point," Greed moved in front of him, stopping Ling in his tracks, "Listen Ling, you're the fucking Emperor of Xing, if ya wanted to, you could kiss the concubine system to hell. But you know why you don't want to? Because you don't want Lan Fan, you want them all don't you? All the women Xing has to offer, you're just a greedy bastard,"

Ling blinked, completely stunned at Greed's words, he was even more surprised when they hit him hard and he punched Greed for it, hard. Greed remained unfazed, having anticipated the action and putting up his Shield.

"Go to hell Greed! I'll show you that I'm honest! Stupid Homunculus," Ling whirled around, his robes flying as he stormed back towards the throne room.

"Stupid human!" Greed fired back just to grate on his nerves further.

Greed opened an eye, watching Ling grow some balls and finally confess his feelings for Lan Fan. He grinned, his good deed for the day was done.

He whistled happily as he spotted a servant in his field of vision," Hey, you there," the little boy stopped, fear present in his eyes at the sight of the tall man.

Greed ignored the smell of fear in the air, "Tell your servant buddies that they should not under any circumstances go to the throne room understand? Not even if you guys hear screams, trust me, I'll be there," it seemed the reassurance that Greed the Avaricious, a being much more powerful than any elite ninja Xing had to offer, would guard his Lord and Lan Fan, was enough to calm their worries.

The boy nodded furiously and ran toward where Greed guessed was the servant's room.

The Homunculus grinned, making himself invisible as well, he didn't think Ling would necessarily appreciate an audience at those things.


"I wish to speak to my Lord, step aside Homunculus," Shin said in a firm, commanding voice, hoping to intimidate the Homunculus at least a little bit.

Greed just grinned like the devil, his eyes almost a blazing violet/red, "No can do kid, your Lord's busy at the moment," Greed tried hard not to chuckle dirtily.

Shin rose an eyebrow, "That cannot be, I've requested for us to meet this afternoon,"

Greed shrugged, getting irritated, "Sorry, he's got some important business to attend to," the Homunculus crossed his arms, his gaze hard and dangerous as he stared down the little punk.

"Scram or I'll make you," the sadistic grin he wore didn't go unnoticed by Shin, who tried hard not to gulp and sweat in fear.

"I command you to step aside and-" he never finished that sentence.

"You don't command anything here you little piece of shit, now get out before I decide to get hungry and eat you," while his threat was partly playful, it seemed like Shin seriously did believe Greed would eat him or at best, do something equally torturous to him, should he not obey.

Greed never saw a human run so fast in his life.


"Um...I-I-I'm sorry L-Lan Fan, I-I hope I hadn't be too rough," Ling blushed furiously, covering Lan Fan with his various robes and looking at every nook and cranny to ensure he didn't accidentally injure her.

Lan Fan giggled and smiled and Ling loved seeing her smile and laugh," Please, it's alright, y-you weren't um...I..." she blushed and turned her head away, her shyness overtaking her.

Ling blinked then he laughed heartily, drawing the blushing woman close to him as both started to laugh.

"So um..you won't marry him...right?" Ling had to ask, just to be sure.

"My Lord-"

"Ling," he couldn't believe he still had to remind her.

"L-Ling, of course not, just please don't ever listen to Greed again," Ling rose an eyebrow in confusion, while Lan Fan pouted cutely.

"Why? He was the one who encouraged me to confess my feelings for you after all,"

"I have the feeling like we were being watched...or spied on..." she blushed darkly, covering her face with one of the robes.

Ling's eyes widened in rage, "GREED!"


Somewhere in a dark room, Greed was sitting on a sofa, eating popcorn and wearing 3D glasses, looking at a little TV screen which showed an enraged Ling and a embarrassed Lan Fan in the throne room.

"Heh, installing those cameras was the best thing I've come up with till now, take that ya lousy runt," Greed grinned, laughing maniacally.

"Man, everything's better in 3D," he grinned, chuckling as he continued watching Ling throw a temper tantrum and threaten to cut off Greed's jewels should he find those cameras anywhere.

Greed chuckled.

Hmm...so what do you think? Yeah, I'm not too sure if I got Ling right .
