Flynn's eyes and ears were always primed for the movement of demons, so when they detected motion and a slight rustling, he immediately whirled toward the source.

Just two Unclean Ones in a corner of a fence and a building. They were quite close to each other, and locked into a deep kiss; the man seemed to have a hand up the woman's ski-

Realizing that he had been staring, Flynn immediately returned to the group of Samurai. "Nothing... nothing over there..." he mumbled, ears burning.

"That was unconvincing." Isabeau fixed him with a serious look. "Flynn, if anything is related to our mission-"

"It is definitely not related to our mission," Flynn managed. "It's... well, it's... um, two people are..."

"They're still at it?" Walter asked. Flynn looked up to glare at him, though probably ineffectively. "Huh, they were just getting started when I ran into that corner."

"What are you two talking about?" Jonathan looked completely confused.

Flynn tried to answer, but Walter beat him to it. "They're coupling outside. Probably best not to disturb them."

Jonathan turned even brighter red than Flynn. "That's- that's so-"

"Isn't that dangerous?" Isabeau asked, ever one to focus on practical concerns. "With all the demons around?"

"Inside most buildings is just as dangerous." Flynn cleared his throat. "It really isn't our concern and, anyway, unless you'd like to approach them and suggest they move inside..."

"No." Jonathan sounded faint. "I... I think perhaps we should just avoid that area for a time..."

"Do the rumors ever talk about these Unclean Ones' endurance?" Walter asked with a grin. "Seems like they could be there even longer..."

Jonathan huffed and refused to answer.


"Do you remember when we came here and ran into those people...?" Flynn's voice was low as Flynn and Walter walked the streets.

Walter raised an eyebrow. "We ran into plenty of people- oh, those two. Looks like they finished up by now."

"It's been ages. You still called them Unclean Ones, it was when we first entered Tokyo." Flynn tugged on Walter's arm and led him into the alleyway.

"...Rank. I can't imagine getting excited in a place like this." Walter sniffed again and grimaced.

Flynn folded his arms across his chest. "Now that's just rude to your partner. Besides, this whole world smells foul to us."

"If I had a partner here-"

Flynn leaned in and kissed him. It was a soft and gentle kiss, and only lasted for a few moments.

When Flynn pulled away and instead leaned his head against the fence behind Walter, he was staring at where Flynn just was. "...So that's new?"

"I don't want you to die a virgin and yes I know it's the other way around usually but, Walter... I am going to miss you." Flynn sighed heavily. "I know I have no right to ask anything of you now..."

"Stop acting like you're the worst kisser in the world, Flynn." Walter recovered quickly and turned Flynn to where he could look at him and, more importantly, kiss him again.

For a long time, demons were compelled to ignore that corner alleyway even more than usual, save one who found it quite a boring sight.
