Snakes and Earrings Page #2

skin stretches and it'll look crap.

Don't worry.

I've been this weight for years.

Nice... that pained look on your face.

It gets me so hard.

What kind of sex do you have with Ama?

Normal, I guess...

Doesn't leave you frustrated?

Not really. I get off okay like that.

What? You're implying

I can't get off normally?

Can you?

No, I can't.

'Cause you're a crazy sadist, yeah?

I get off with guys, too.

I reckon I'm quite eclectic

in the ways I get off.

Are you wet?

That taste gross?

Can't breathe?

Please, put it in me.

Shut up.

More tears.

I'm coming.

When the design's ready

will you call?

Sure.

Come with Ama.

You can both take a look at it.

Call in the daytime

when Ama's at work.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm a descendant of god, maybe.

Descendant of god?

Sounds like a band.

Whoever gave life to man

has got to be a sadist.

Does that make the Virgin Mary

a masochist?

Definitely.

Hey, want to grab a bite?

Ama will be home soon.

I see.

See ya'.

You okay?

I hate existing in this world. I want

to burn out in the realm of darkness.

Our next news item...

on 11th at 1:
00am,

in Tokyo's Shibuya ward

a man, bleeding from the head

was found by passersby.

Although taken to hospital

he died 2 hours later.

The deceased was a 25 year old

member of the Toryu yakuza group.

Cerebral contusion following

skull fracture was the cause of death.

The fugitive suspect was described

as male in his mid 20's

of medium height, slight build

with red hair and dressed in dark clothing.

The Shibuya precinct police

are searching for this suspect...

Good evening.

Ama, get up.

What's up?

Come here.

What?

Quickly.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on. Sit down.

We're dying your hair.

I've never liked that ugly red hair.

For starters, red looks scruffy on you.

You've got no sense of taste.

You're so good to me.

I'll try to have good taste.

You'll help me, right?

Of course.

I'm grateful, y'know.

I'd shave my head if you wanted.

Dress up smart and fancy

like you.

Bleach my skin if you told me.

Give me a break.

Ama...

From tomorrow, my orders

are that you wear long sleeves.

Why?

Listen. The constant tank tops

make you look like a thug.

Yes, Ma'am.

Do you understand?

I do.

You promise?

I promise. Anything for you, honey.

Quit it. That's creepy.

Care for some more, sir?

Thank you.

What a shock...

A tongue stud, of all things...

Some guy's involved, right?

Kinda. I fell for the tongue

rather than the guy himself.

Hello?

Lui, where are you?

What you doing?

Sorry. I got a call

for a companion gig.

What? I didn't know you worked.

What kind of "companion"?

For chrissakes, it's above board.

Nothing shady.

Anyways, I'll call you later. Bye.

Sorry.

So he keeps you on a tight leash?

He's like a big kid.

Sometimes he doesn't get it.

That can be cute.

If only that were all he is...

There you are!

You mustn't goof off.

Sorry, sir.

Your hair looks better like this.

Really?

Looks cool.

You reckon?

You look good, too.

I know.

You do?

Look... a split tongue.

Oh, yeah. Split tongue.

Everything's okay. He's laughing

and happy.

His hair's no longer red. We've

nothing to worry about. It's all fine.

I'm going to buy cigarettes.

Hello.

It's me. The design's ready.

A dragon and a kylin.

It was tough to get it right.

Really.

I want to show it to you.

Okay.

See ya', then.

See ya'.

Who was that?

Maki. She said we should party.

Right, let's party...

That's amazing.

It's good?

Do this on me.

Okay.

Isn't that great?

No drinking alcohol tomorrow.

And get a good sleep.

You'll need your strength.

Don't worry. I'll look after her.

Walking with you, everyone stares.

You stand out more.

What do you mean?

You're both scary-looking.

If you think about it,

we're a strange combination.

I want a beer. Let's go eat.

It changes when I breathe deep.

It looks so cool.

Sorry.

I love this butterfly.

It's good?

In the perfect place.

I'm going to the toilet.

No complaints about the design?

Of course not.

I'll make it so beautiful.

In your hands,

it's a piece of cake, right?

My divine hands...

But what if I want to kill you

in the middle of it?

If that's what happens, so be it.

I've never wanted to kill anyone

so badly before.

The toilet was covered in puke.

Made me feel sick.

You threw up too, right?

No, I didn't.

Yeah, I bet you did.

What are you talking about?

Time for a toast.

Cheers.

Wow, it's so good.

Shiba-san, this is tasty, too.

Amadeus, who beat

a man to death for me

and the Descendant of God

who desperately wants to do me in.

I wonder if one day

one of them will kill me.

Can I go with you tomorrow?

What are you talking about?

You've got work.

It's not that I don't trust Shiba-san...

But I'm worried.

It'll just be you two, right?

It'll be fine. He's a total pro.

He wouldn't do anything like that.

Okay. But be careful... really.

Sometimes I don't understand

what goes through his mind.

Not everyone's as easy

to understand as you.

This time tomorrow,

there'll be a dragon here.

And a kylin, too.

Your skin's so perfectly white,

it's almost a shame.

But with a tattoo,

you'll be even sexier.

You had a proper sleep?

Ama put me to bed by 8pm.

Today we just do the outline.

But it locks in the design

so tell me if you want any changes.

Just one request.

I don't want you to do their eyes.

You mean the actual pupil?

Yeah, the eyeball itself.

Why not?

The old story of the priest

painting the dragon.

He finished the eye

then it flew away.

Okay, I see.

I won't do their eyes then.

But to keep their expressions

balanced

I'll do a vague outline,

if that's okay?

Thank you, Shiba-san.

Such a demanding woman.

How's that?

Look.

I used a gauge 10.

That's coming along nicely.

But don't overdo it.

Unlike an earlobe, an infected

tongue's a real nuisance.

Okay.

It hurt, right?

Okay, I'm ready to begin.

Here I go.

Tell me if it hurts.

You really don't mind

the pain, do you?

First-timers usually bug me

with their whining.

I guess I must be frigid.

Hardly. You got off fine

the other day.

You're sweet.

The first drag's the best.

No way. It's the second one.

So, did you feel like killing me?

Yes. So I kept my mind on the job.

If you ever want to die

let me do the killing.

Can I screw your corpse?

After I'm dead, what do I care.

Without your look of pain

I probably couldn't get it up.

Lui... I'm here.

We just finished.

What about your job?

Left early. Said I was constipated.

Your job lets you do that?

The store manager was mad

but so what...

Fantastic...

Shiba-san, thank you.

But you didn't try anything weird

with her, did you?

Don't worry. I have no desire

for skinny women.

Hang on...

You didn't do their eyes.

That's what I asked for.

Not to complete the eyes.

Why?

They might fly away

after the finishing touch.

I see.

But my dragon's got eyes

and he's still here.

- You keep quiet.

- Ouch. Don't hurt me...
