Episode 8:

A New Journey



(Siri, Kudosai, Shido, and the others rented horses and left town. They went out to the grassy plains.)

Siri: So...whats your town like?

Kudosai: Its alright. There are quite a few bounties every now and then. You into bounty hunting?

Siri: Not really.

Kudosai: It easy money, ya? Except when someone tries to take your reward. Speaking of that, me and Shinn got into it with this one chick-hey! What is Shinn doin' layin' on the ground?

(The gang saw Shinn unconscious, laying on the ground. The gang stops. Kudosai gets off his horse and walks up to Shinn.)

Kudosai: Looks like he got beat up.

Elaine: We might haveta take him with us.

Nuri: Please do. I wonder what happened. <gasp> It probably was...

Kudosai: Someone's gotta carry him.

Shido: I will.

Kudosai: Okay.

(Shido carefully carries Shinn to Shido's horse. He props him on the horse and then gets on.)

Siri: So, how long will it take for us to get to your town?

Kudosai: If we walked on foot with only one break, we would get there by nightfall. But since we're on horses, we might get there three hours before that.

Siri: Okay.

Kudosai: Well, we better get going.

(And so, the gang went off. Not too long later, they left the grassy plains and went into the forest.)

Nuri: Shido. Hows Shinn doin'?

Shido: He's fine. No need to worry.

(They passed through the forest at a steady pace. Then, Nuri out of nowhere, starts singing.)

Nuri: Shiroi hana ga yozora no
sukima shizuka ni umeru
marude anata ga soba ni iru
youna yasashisa kaoru
wasurerarenai namae mune no
oku ni saiteru shiroi hana ga
kareta shite itsuka mata
sakudarou
ana-

Suki: Nuri, please shut the hell up!

Nuri: Sorry, but I like that song. ZONE sings it. Its called Shi-

Suki: I don't care! Let them sing the song! They sing it way better than you!

Nuri: But its Shiroi Hana! I like Shiroi Hana! They speak something about a white flower and its great!

Suki: I don't care! Shut up! Its bad enough that the horses are disturbing the creatures here without you singing terribly hurting their ears!

Siri: Suki, be nice. Nuri, I think it would be best if you stop singing now.

Nuri: But...

(She continued to sing.)

Nuri: Watashi no namida ga hora shiroi yuki ni kawatte anata no kokoro deaudarou. Itsuma-

Suki: Shut up!

Nuri: Fine! Humph! I know Shinn would like to hear me sing.

Suki: I doubt that.

Siri: Okay, lets just all be quiet, kay?

(They soon got out of the forest and into the fields. Nuri, instead of singing started humming.)


* * * * * * * *


(Meanwhile, back at the hometown at the hospital, Pimp and Kim walked outside. Pimp had on one of those casts where you can move your arm (just not the broken part).)

Kim: How is your arm?

Pimp: It feels okay.

(They walked in the quad area, when suddenly, a man calls Pimp.)

Man: Yo boy!

(Pimp turns around.)

Pimp: What?

Man: Are you that kid that was in the duel?

Pimp: What duel?

Man: The duel that was on pay-tv a few days ago.

Pimp: Yeah, I was.

Man: Can I have your autograph?

Pimp: Yeah.

(The man gets out a pen and a wrinkled sheet of paper and gives it to Pimp. Pimp signs it and gives it back.)

Man: Thanks man! I'm tryin' to get autographs from everybody. Everyone is! I've got all of Nuriko's team so far, except for that Takea guy. Nuriko was nice actually. Now I've gotta get the rest of your team. I'm the first to get you. It was too bad ya lost though.

Pimp: WHAT?! I was told it was a tie!

Man: Naw man. One of your teammates forfeited the match.

Pimp: No way!

Man: Yeah.

Pimp: It must be a trick.

(Pimp turns to Nuriko's restaurant. He wore an angry expression on his face. He walks to the restaurant. He tries to go in, but Kim stops him.)

Kim: No Pimp! Remember last night!

Pimp: Don't worry. I'm gonna kill her this time.

Kim: Pimp!

(Pimp walks in. The restaurant was open and things were normal. Nuriko was at the main counter eating noodles and drinking gatorade with Kurou, Sarou, and Aka. Sum walks up to Pimp.)

Sum: Uh, hello. Welcome. May I help you?

(Pimp just pushes Sum out of the way and goes straight to the main counter. People in the restaurant started staring at him. Kurou, Sarou, and Aka moved in front of Nuriko to protect her.)

Nuriko: Wait. Move out of the way. Its okay.

Sarou: You sure?

Nuriko: Yeah.

(They move out of the way. Nuriko stands up.)

Nuriko: What do you want, Pimp?

Pimp: I'm here to kill you.

Nuriko: HA! HA! Heh! You can't fight me. Not in your current condition. Maybe you can come back to me when you're stronger and fully healed.

Pimp: Fuck that! I'm gonna kill you!

Nuriko: Ha! You wish!

Pimp: I will avenge the death of my parents, bitch!

Nuriko: Alright you little brat! This is your last warning. Go home! And don't ever come back!

Pimp: No! Im fighting you! Unless if you're scared!

Aka: You want me to fuck him up for you?

Nuriko: No. <stands up> I've got a better idea.

(Nuriko took out from her belt some rope (from episodes 1 and 2) and threw it at Pimp. It wrapped around his shin about halfway. Then, she yanked the rope in her direction and Pimp fell down to the floor. Nuriko jumps over the counter and walks to the center of the restaurant, dragging Pimp where ever she went. On the ceiling where she stopped, there was a hook. She threw her end of the rope on the hook so that it would hang.)

Nuriko: Hey Aka. Pull the rope for me.

Aka: Alright.

(Aka jumps over the counter and walks to Nuriko. He takes the rope and pulls it. Soon, Pimp was hanging upside down like a pinata. Nuriko grins, and turns to the people who are watching all of this.)

Nuriko: Hey everyone! Look at the a team member of the losers!

Pimp: Hey! I'm no loser!

Sum: Hi, loser over there! May I take your order?

(Everyone and Sum started laughing.)

Nuriko: And now he want to to challenge me again knowing that he'll lose!

Pimp: I will not lose!

Nuriko: Yeah you will.

(Pimp started struggling to try and hit Nuriko. His attempt was useless.)

Nuriko: I should just kill you now. And drink your blood. You'd be a good snack for me.

Kurou: Yeah! Just kill the little bastard!

(Kim watched helplessly from outside as all this was happening. She finally gathered all her courage to run inside to Nuriko.)

Kim: Um...excuse me miss. Could you please let Pimp go. He's just mad. Please don't hurt him.

Nuriko: HA! Don't worry. I'm won't hurt him. I might kill him, but not hurt him.

Kim: Please don't kill him either! Please miss. He's just a little dumb.

Nuriko: ...Aka, let go of the rope.

Aka: Huh? You sure?

Nuriko: Yeah.

(Aka lets go of the rope and Pimp falls to the floor. Kim helps him up.)

Nuriko: Take your boyfriend and go. But if I ever catch him here causing trouble again, I'm gonna kill him. Understand?

Kim: Yes...thank you miss.

(Kim and Pimp walk out of the restaurant.)

Pimp: Why did you stop me! I could've beat her!

Kim: Pimp, they had you hanging like a pinata in there! They were gonna kill you!

Pimp: I could've still killed her!

Kim: Pimp, I know that you fight nightwalkers, but, there are some nightwalkers that you can't beat just yet. That woman is one of them.

Pimp: I can beat her! Let me back in there! I'll kill her!

Kim: Pimp, you must promise me that you won't fight her until you get stronger.

Pimp: She killed my parents, Kim. She killed my parents!

(Kim hugs him. Tears started running down her face.)

Kim: Pimp, I know that you're hurting...I know its hard...to live without your family...I may never understand how you truly feel..but cheer up. Revenge is pointless in the end. It won't make you happy. Lets go. We'll get some ice cream or something.

Pimp: O-okay.

(So, the two went to get some ice cream.)


* * * * * * * *


(Meanwhile back at Nuriko's restaurant, a man wearing all black walked inside. Sum greets him.)

Sum: Hullo, er-Kudo, sai or so?

Man: It is so.

Sum: Oh! Welcome back, Kudoso.

(Kudoso walks up to the main counter and Nuriko greets him.)

Nuriko: Why hello, Kudoso.

Kudoso: Hey.

(She jumps over the counter and wraps her arms around him.)

Nuriko: Did you kill him?

Kudoso: No. He got away. I'm sorry.

Nuriko: He got away! Why did you let him get away!?

Kudoso: I was gonna get him, but then...

Nuriko: But then what?

Kudoso: I...saw my brother...

Nuriko: <sigh> Oh well. Just as long as he doesn't come back here again. But I'm warning you: You better not screw up again.

Kudoso: Understood.

Nuriko: Okay, I guess you can relax for a while

Kudoso: Yes, Nuriko.

(So the day wore on. about an hour and a half before sundown, Kudosai and the gang arrived in town. they dropped off their horses and walked around the town.)

Kudosai: AH! Its good to be home!

Shido: We should figure out where we are going to put Shinn.

Kudosai: Let Nuri carry him or somethin'.

Nuri: Yay!

(Nuri takes Shinn and drags him to the quad area. She sits down and stares at Shinn.)

Nuri: Wheh! Boy you sure are heavy! But I still love you Shinn! You look so cute in this outfit you're wearing.

Siri: I'm hungry. Lets go eat there. <Points to Nuriko's restaurant>

Kudosai: Oh no. We can't go there. Nothin' but trouble. Very much trouble. Trouble indeed.

Siri: Why?

Kudosai: Well uh, because well...we got into a fight with the owner there.

Siri: Who's the owner?

Kudosai: Well...shes uh. Shes Nuriko.

Siri: <excited> Wait, Nuriko?! Heh well then we have to go over there! Shes my friend!

Kudosai: We can't!

(Siri runs to Nuriko's restaurant. Kudosai follows her. Siri and Kudosai walk in.)

Kudosai: This is a bad idea, ya?

Sum: Why hello there!

(Nuriko turns around and sees Siri. She soon wore a great big smile.)

Nuriko: SIRI!!!

(Nuriko rushed over to Siri and hugs her and they started dancing. Kudosai looked around and saw Kudoso with Kurou, Sarou, and Aka. He soon got angry.)

Nuriko: Siri! I haven't seen you in a while!

Siri: Yeah, likewise!

Nuriko: How've you been?

Siri: Alright.

Nuriko: What brings you here?

Siri: I'm on a quest to fight demons.

Nuriko: Demons! Thats cool!

Siri: You're welcome to join if you want. I have quite a few people that want to help.

Nuriko: Yeah sure!

Siri: Its so great that we met up again.

Nuriko: Yea it is! Hey, come meet my friends!

(Siri and Nuriko walk up to the main counter. Kudosai follows them and so does Sum.)

Nuriko: Hey guys meet my friend, Siri. <As she points to each of them> Siri, this is Kurou, Sarou, Aka, and Kudoso. Oh, and he's Sum.

Kurou: Hello, Siri. You look very nice.

Aka: Yeah, you do.

Siri: Hello and thanks.

Sum: Hello, Siri- san.

Siri: Hey.

Kudoso: Hi.

Siri: Hi. Hey, you know, Kudoso sounds very familiar. It sounds like Kudosai's name.

Kudosai: Because he's my brother! And you took him away from me! <points to Nuriko>

Nuriko: So its you.

Kudoso: Brother please leave this place. I will work here. Its okay.

Kudosai: Hell no its not okay! What does she need you for? all these dudes here. why in the fuck does she need you!

Nuriko: I don't need him, he needs me. He's a vampire now. Vampires have special needs.

Aka: Yeah, they do!

Nuriko: Aka! No!

Aka: Damn...

Kudosai: Fuck that! He's my brother! He's the only family I got now!

Kudoso: Brother, I'm fine.

Nuriko: Calm down man! You should be happy I gave him this new ability. He's now like 3 times stronger than he was before. I'm gonna teach him how to be a good vampire.

Kudosai: You can't teach him shit!

Nuriko: I can teach him far more than you can!

Siri: Okay, exactly what are you guys talking about?

Kudosai: My brother!

Nuriko: My slave!

Siri: Okay, how about I get some food, and you guys can explain to me what happened.

(So, Siri, Nuriko, and Kudosai sat down at a table. Nuriko explained what happened to Siri while she ate. Kudosai would occasionally try to correct Nuriko, but she would just slap him in the back of the head. And the two would argue once again. Finally, Nuriko finished.)

Kudosai: So you see, Nuriko is a greedy, nightwalker, slave owner, person,

Nuriko: And you're just a funny-looking, whinny little bitch.

Siri: Hey! okay Nuriko, it was wrong for you to turn his brother into a vampire. Kudosai, it was wrong for you to go starting trouble. Now, you two should apologize to each other right now. And let Kudoso decide what he wants to do.

Kudosai: But he can't-

Siri: You have to apologize. I don't want you two fighting while we're on the mission.

Nuriko and Kudosai: Well...okay.

Kudosai: Sorry.

Nuriko: Its alright I guess. Sorry.

Kudosai: Its...okay.

Siri: There. Now that you two have put all this behind you, its time for Kudoso to make his decision. <Calling So> Kudoso!

(Kudoso walks over to Siri.)

Siri: Okay. I had a conversation with Nuriko and Kudosai, and we though it would be best to let you decide what you wanna do: stay with Nuriko, or go with Kudosai? Your choice.

Kudoso: Well...can't I just stay with both of you?

Nuriko and Kudosai: No you can't!!

Siri: Well I think that sounds reasonable. He'll stay with one of you for a while and he'll stay with the other for a while. Okay?

Kudosai: Alright, sure. <Muttering> When I get laid.

Siri: What was that?

Kudosai: Uh, yeah sure its okay, ya?

Siri: Well then. Now that we have that settled, I can finish eating and we'll go from there.

(So Siri finished eating. The day soon turned to night. At the hotel and in the room that Siri would be staying in, Shinn found himself in a futon. There was one light on that was dim so that he could barely see. he sat up in the futon.)

Shinn: W-where the fuck am I? I have no idea.

(Shinn reaches in his outfit for the sake he was carrying but he can't find it. He searches around but found nothing.)

Shinn: Where the-! Huh!?

Siri: Looking for this?

(Suddenly, all of the lights in the room went on. He saw Siri sitting in front of him holding the bottle of sake wearing a angry look on her face. Shinn's face then wore a frightened look.)

Siri: What did I tell you about the sake, hmm?

Shinn: Its you.

Siri: You know, I really didn't think you could be alot like an ass like that. And I don't appreciate the way you treated my friend either.

Shinn: I didn't do anything. And by the way, you said ass.

Siri: Well its okay if I'm referring to a donkey. Now, I don't like the way you've been treating Nuriko.

Shinn: NURIKO?! NURIKO is your friend?!

(Suddenly, Nuriko pops up by Siri.)

Nuriko: Yeah I am. You got a problem with that?

Shinn: You know what? Yeah I do! 'Cause now I know how you guys get so annoying!

Nuriko: You know what, I am so close to grabbing something and hitting you with it!

Shinn: Great. You two here. This can't get any worse.

(Just then, Nuri pops up in front of the futon.)

Nuri: Hi Shinn!

Shinn: It just got worse.

Nuri: Its good that you're finally awake.

Nuriko: Actually, its not good that he's awake. He should just stay asleep and do us all a favor.

Shinn: I wish you guys would do me a favor and stay the fuck away from me! And how did you get my sake!?

Siri: Nuri found it while she was holding you.

Flashback: Nuri holding Shinn at the Quad......


________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________


(Nuri drags Shinn to a table at the quad area and she sits down at one of the seats at the table.)

Nuri: Shinn you look sooo cute in that outfit you're wearing.

(Suddenly, the tall bottle of sake that Shinn was saving fell out of his outfit. Nuri picks it up.)

Nuri: Oh no, Shinn. You shouldn't drink this kind of stuff right now. Its bad for you.



________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________


Okay...Back to the present...



Now loading...



The present....


________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________



Shinn: Why don't you guys just leave me alone! Don't you have anything else better to do!

Siri: Well, you're involved in the thing thats better to do. Besides, you said you would help me. So either you'll do what you said, or you are a hypocrite.

Shinn: Hypo-what? Hippopotamus?

Siri: No. A hypocrite. A person who says they're gonna do something and then in the end, they don't do it.

Shinn: I'm no hypocrite!

Siri: So, you'll join us just like you said, right?

Shinn: No!

Siri: Then you're a hypocrite.

Shinn: Alright, alright! I'll join!

Siri: Good. Now, Nuriko and her group will join us as well.

Shinn: Hell naw! Nuriko aint joining us!

Nuriko: Yeah I am! If you don't like it, then go kiss Nuri or somethin'.

Nuri: Good idea, Nuriko! Shinn! Kiss me my love!

Shinn: No! I ain't doin' any of this shit! I'm leavin'! And this time, don't follow me around everywhere I go!

(Shinn gets up and goes to the door when Nuriko stops him.)

Nuriko: You're not going anywhere until you decide on helping my friend. Remember, Im a nightwalker. I'm very dangerous at night.

Shinn: I don't care!

(Nuriko pushes Shinn to the wall. She pins his arms to the wall and moves her head to his neck. Her fangs grew. She was going to Vampire form.)

Nuriko: I should just kill you and drink your blood. I am kinda hungry right now.

Siri: Nuriko, Don't kill him yet. We still need him for the quest..

Nuriko: Yeah, I guess. His blood is probably bad anyways. But I still get to kill him after, right?

Siri: Sure. Why not.

Shinn: Fuck no she can't!

Siri: Stop your cursing!

Nuriko: Now, Will you join us so we can get this over with.

Shinn: Fine! Okay! Whatever!

(Nuriko lets go of Shinn and than goes back to her normal form.)

Nuriko: So when are we gonna start? Tonight?

Siri: Not really. Which reminds me, we haveta decide on when we're gonna start. Kudosai is trying to look for information. He wants us to meet him in about an hour.

Nuriko: Okay cool.

(Nuri runs to Shinn, who is still by the door and hugs him.)

Shinn: Go away, Nuri.

Nuri: Shinn, I love you. I wanna get married to you.

Shinn: Thats the stupidest crap I ever heard come out if your mouth!

Siri: Hey!

Nuriko: Yeah, Hey!

Nuri: Shinn, will you marry me? Please?

Shinn: No! Leave me alone!

(Nuri holds onto him tightly. Shinn violently pushes her off of him. Nuri falls to the floor. Siri walks up to Shinn.)

Siri: You didn't haveta push her THAT hard. Shes apart of this mission too.

Shinn:...Whatever. Just stay out of my way. All of you.

Siri: Shinn, don't think of this as a bad thing. It could be really fun.

Shinn: ...Whatever.

Siri: We're meeting at the quad in an hour. Be there.

Shinn: ....

(Shinn walks out. He soon walks out of the hotel and into the crowd. He continues walking until he gets to the quad area. He stops for a second, than continues walking. Soon, three women who looked like nurses started to follow him. These nurses happened to be the nurses that nursed Shinn back in episode 5. Natsuki, Bunishia, and Mi-chan. They followed him for a while, until Mi-chan got too excited. She accidently pushes Shinn. He quickly turns around and gets into in a battle pose.)

Mi-chan: Hey Shinn its us!

Bunishia: Yeah the nurses.

Shinn: What nurses-Oh! The lovey dovey nurses!

Natsuki: How are ya doin', Shinn. You seem kinda sad and lonely

Shinn: Yeah well, I've been through alot.

Natsuki: Than you really won't want me to tell you about your results.

Shinn: What results?

Natsuki: We got your blood test results back and (sadly) They're not good. You have cancer.

Shinn: Cancer?! I got cancer?!

Natsuki: Yes...its a rare type of blood cancer. You're gonna die in six months.

Shinn: Six months?!

Natsuki: (Starts laughing) I'm just Kiddin'''! We didn't do any blood test! You should've seen the look on your face!

Shinn: Stop doin that!

Bunishia: I told you she likes to joke around.

(Natsuki wraps her arms around Shinn and kisses him on the cheek.)

Natsuki: But seriously, whats wrong?

Shin: Nothing. just that a bunch of people keep following me and won't leave me alone.

Mi-chan: Its not us, is it?

Shinn: No, not you guys, yet.

Bunishia: I'm sorry that you lost the duel.

Natsuki: Bunishia, I don't think you should've brought that up.

Shinn: Its alright. Let Nuriko keep the money.

Natsuki: Cheer up. I betcha you can beat her up any day. Its not good to be sad.

Mi-chan: Yeah! Turn that frown upside down!

Shinn: Heh.

Natsuki: Why dontcha come over to my place.

Shinn: I'd better go before those people start bothering me again. They took my sake!

Natsuki: Oh-we've got sake there if you wanna get wasted.

Shinn: Well...

Natsuki: Come on.

(Natsuki tip-toes a bit and her lips reached his. Their tongues met and moved around in a romantic like fashion. Natsuki breaks the kiss and caresses Shinn's cheek.)

Natsuki: You'll have a good time. We won't disappoint you.

Shinn: Well...

Bunishia: Oh come on dammit! Just say yeah.

Shinn: Yeah.

Natsuki: Great! Lets go then.

(So, Shinn, Natsuki, Bunishia, and Mi-chan went to Natsuki's house. It happened to be right by Kudosai's house. They went inside.)

Natsuki: Well, this is my home. Go sit at the living room table and I'll get some sake.

Shinn: Sounds good.

(Shinn, Mi-chan, and Bunishia walked to the living room table and sat down. Natsuki got out four cups and a big pitcher of sake and brought them to the table. She poured the sake into their cups and they started drinking.)

Shinn: OOOOOOOOOH! Sake!

Natsuki: Is it good?

Shinn: Its awesome!

Bunishia: So...excactly what happened to make you sad?

Shinn: Well, its a somewhat long story. And I can't even remember half of it.

(Shinn started telling the girls about what happened. He could barely remember what happened after he met Siri for the first time, so he skipped to the part where he ends up at the church with Siri. Then, he talks about the next day and the reason why he had that priest outfit on. Mi-chan said "Oh! I was gonna ask you why you were wearing that outfit. You're missing the hat." He continued on and told them about the Xuyen girl. And then about what he was gonna do when they surprised him.)

Shinn: <sigh> So thats the story.

Natsuki: Wow. Those girls were too mean to you, huh?

Shinn: Yeah.

Bunishia: We won't be mean.

Natsuki: Yeah. (Caresses Shinn's Cheek) We'll be good to ya.

Shinn: I'm sure you will.

(Natsuki starts kissing Shinn. Their tongues met and danced romantically like earlier. Natsuki breaks the kiss and smiles for him.)

Shinn: What are you doing?

Natsuki: I'm gettin' this party started. I know you like where this is going.

Shinn: Well...

(Natsuki trails her tongue from his cheek down to his neck and begins to gently suck on it as Shinn closes his eyes and grins. Bunishia gets up and pushes Natsuki off of him.)

Natsuki: What are you doing Bunishia?

Bunishia: You can't have Shinn all the time. I want him too you know.

Mi-chan: Um, me too.

Shinn: Hey now, there's still plenty of me to go around.

(Bunishia starts kissing on Shinn. Mi-chan gets up and goes to the radio and turns it on. A hip-hop like beat came over the radio followed by a female voice, singing in a Asian accent.)

Mi-chan: Oh hey! Its my favorite song too!

(The song continues as Bunishia kisses on Shinn. Natsuki pushes her off and starts kissing on Shinn.)

Bunishia: Natsuki! I wasn't finished!

Natsuki: So.

Shinn: Bunishia, why don't you go and keep Mi-chan company. She looks lonely.

(Bunishia walks over to Mi-chan and caresses her cheek.)

Bunishia: Natsuki is a hog, isn't she.

Mi-chan: I know.

(Bunnishia and Mi-chan start kissing on one another. Shinn opens his eyes and look at the two as Natsuki continues gently sucking on his neck.)

Shinn: (muttering) Yeah, thats right. I love you girls.

(Bunishia starts taking off Mi-chan's top off as they kissed and Mi-chan does the same to Bunishia. Natsuki starts loosening Shinn's outfit and Shinn does the same. Natsuki gently pushes him down to the floor and she goes down to his chest and starts licking. Shinn closes his eyes touches the top of her head and his fingers through her hair. Mi-chan lays down on the floor and Bunishia gets on top of her, and she starts kiss on her neck. I think we all know what is happening here. So I think we'll leave them alone for now.)


* * * * * * * *


(So time wore on. Pretty soon an hour passed and everyone met up in the quad area, except Nuriko, who said she was gonna pick up a few people. Siri walked around the quad with an angry look on her face.)

Siri: Where is he! I knew I shouldn't have let him go on his own.

Kudosai: He'll be here, ya?

(Then, Nuriko came by with two guys. One had long hair that was in a braided ponytail. The other had long hair that was let down and going all over the place. The three had smiles on their faces.)

Nuriko: Look, Siri! I found Josh and Lue.

Siri: Oh wow!

Josh: Whats up Siri!

Siri: Hey Josh! Lue!

Lue: Hey!

(Then, Siri gave Josh and Lue great big hugs. Nuriko introduced them to the others, and crap like that. Meanwhile, at Natsuki's house, Shinn awakens from a nap he had after his fantasy come to life. Natsuki had her arms around him while she slept. Mi-chan and Bunishia were sleeping peacefully on the floor. Shinn pushes Natsuki off of his way and stands up and gets his clothes on. Natsuki immediately wakes up and looks at him.)

Natsuki: Where ya goin', hot stuff?

Shinn: I've gotta-aw shit!

Natsuki: What?

Shinn: I forgot. I had to go meet those people. Oh well. Fuck it! I'll just hide some where.

Natsuki: You could stay here. They won't find you here.

Shinn: Nah. I'm goin home.

Natsuki: Come on. Don't leave me alone here. I'm so lonely.

Shinn: You're not alone. You have those girls to keep you company.

Natsuki: Yeah, but two fingers just can't satisfy me. I need a head, a nice long shaft, and some balls to keep me company.

Shinn: Yeah, well the one you love can't be me, honey. You'll need to find someone else.

Natsuki: Please stay.

Shinn: No.

Natsuki: You know you want me.

Shinn: Yeah, but not right now.

(Shinn finished putting his clothes on and stuff on and walks to the door. Natsuki quickly runs to in front to stop him from leaving.)

Natsuki: You're not leaving here.

Shinn: Yes, I am.

Natsuki: I believe you're mistaken. (She wraps her arms around him and give him a kiss) You're gonna stay.

Shinn: I said no! Now If you're gonna start annoying me, I'll never come back again!

Natsuki: No! Stay with me. Stay with me for life.

(Shinn then grabs Natsuki and pushes her to the floor.)

Shinn: (Angrily) You stupid woman! Don't you see there's more to life than fucking! I've got shit to do! And it doesn't involve you!

Natsuki: You'll...still come back, right?

Shinn: ...I'll think about it. Maybe. Maybe means yes or no.

Natsuki: Shinn...I'm pregnant.

Shinn: ...Get the fuck outta here! I just fucked you maybe ten minutes ago and you're already pregnant!?

Natsuki: Well it happens, you know! I'm a nurse! I should know when I'm pregnant god dammit!

Shinn: I'm outta here.

Natsuki: You can't go! You haveta take care of me!

Shinn: Take care of yourself and get an abortion or somethin'.

Natsuki: No! I'm not doing that, Shinn!

Shinn: You're not pregnant!

Natsuki: Yes I am! I got that weird craving for pickles and ice cream!

Shinn: Pickles and ice cream?

Natsuki: Yes! Pickles and ice cream!

Shinn: You're lying!

Natsuki: No Im not! I really do!

Shinn: Oh yeah? Prove it! Prove to me that you're pregnant.

Natsuki: Um...the craving! The craving!

Shinn: You're gonna haveta do better than that. You're a nurse! You should be able to prove it!

Natsuki: Umm...okay, maybe I was just kiddin'

Shinn: I knew it!

Natsuki: Please don't leave! Please?

Shinn: No!

(Shinn opens the front door and walks out. Natsuki walks up to the front porch and yells his name. He turns around.)

Natsuki: You'll still call me, right? Will you still come over?

Shinn: ...Maybe.

(And with that, Shinn leaves. Meanwhile, at the quad area of the town, they were still waiting around for Shinn.)

Nuriko: I don't see why we're still waiting for that fool.

Siri: When I see him, I'm gonna kill him!

Kudosai: He'll be here.

Aka: Thats what you said an hour ago!

Kudosai: Well, maybe he ain't comin', okay!

Suki: This is ridiculous! Why are we waitin' around here! He isn't coming!

Nuri: I wonder where Shinn is?

(Everyone looks at Nuri like shes crazy.)

Nuri: What? I just wanna know where he is.

Suki: You know sometimes I really wonder what goes on in your simple little head.

Elaine: Suki, don't say that. Nuri is just...special.

Suki: Yeah, in a retarded kinda way.

Nuriko: Lets just go back to my place and eat.

Kurou: Yeah, I'm starvin'

Siri: Well, I guess.

(So, everybody went to Nuriko's restaurant. Just then, Shinn had just walked into town. He walked into the quad area and found that neither Siri nor anyone else he knew was there.)

Shinn: Fuckers. They said they were gonna be here. But they aren't. I don't know why I was so worried.

(Pimp was just walking around the town, without Kim 'cause yeah she had to go home, when he sees Shinn walking around. He calls him.)

Pimp: Shinn!

(Shinn turns around and recognizes Pimp. He walks up to him.)

Shinn: Whats up, kid.

Pimp: Hey. Where've you been?

Shinn: Places. Thats all you need to know.

Pimp: What with the weird Outfit?

Shinn: Look I was at a church or somethin' kid, okay! Don't bother me with that! I've been getting that all day!

Pimp: Okay okay! Jeez! But tell me. Did you really forfeit the match?

Shinn: Yeah. I did.

Pimp: Why? Why did you give up! We almost had her, Shinn! We could've beat her!

Shinn: For your information kid, my life doesn't revolve around beating up Nuriko. I've got bigger and better things to do okay! Now, I know you have some kind of secret grudge against her. What ever that may be, because shes a nightwalker or whatever, but now, thats no longer my concern. If you wanna plot your revenge against her, do it without me.

Pimp: ...But, Shinn-

Shinn: Leave me alone kid. I've got way too many people bothering me.

Pimp: What do you mean?

Shinn: Look I said leave me alone! Go home!

Pimp: I don't have a home! Remember!

Shinn: Then go somewhere far away from me!

Pimp: No! I won't!

Shinn: You're really startin' to annoy me!

Siri: SHINN!!!

(Pimp and Shinn turn around and see Siri at the front of Nuriko's restaurant. Siri made two leaps to Shinn and then smacks him.)

Siri: You're late! I told you to meet us well over and hour ago!

Shinn: So what! I'll walk in late whenever the fuck I want! You're lucky I even came at all!

Siri: What is wrong with you and your attitude! Look, we're supposed to be teammates, not enemies. If we can't get along, then we'll never complete the mission. Well be spending too much time arguing. So lets just go inside, eat, and then, we'll begin.

Pimp: Begin what?

Siri: Oh, who's this kid? Is he your son?

Shinn: No he's not my son. And his name is Pimp.

Siri: Pimp?

Shinn: Pimp is a shortened version of his long, silly name.

Siri: Whats the long name?

Shinn: You don't wanna know.

Pimp: Hey, don't judge me by my name. I could be really sweet to you.

Siri: I'm sure your weird name suits you.

Pimp: I guess. It makes me sound cool. But hey, what mission are you talking about?

Siri: Well, I'm trying to find certain demons and destroy them.

Pimp: Demons. Sounds cool. How 'bout I join you.

Siri: Why not.

Pimp: Great.

Siri: Lets go eat.

(Siri walks up to Nurikos restaurant. Shinn and Pimp walk slowly and Pimp looks at her with a smile.)

Pimp: Who is that girl?

Shinn: Thats Siri. This little priestess bitch thats been getting me to join her on this quest of demons and shit.

Pimp: Shes no bitch, shes kinda sexy.

Shinn: You think Siri is sexy? Shes just a bitch that, made me wear this stupid priest outfit!

Pimp: Shes the hottest priestess chick I've seen-hey wait! Why is she goin'-

Shinn: Goin' where?

Pimp: To Nuriko's restaurant!

Shinn: Shes crazy if she thinks we're goin' in there.

(Shinn and Pimp get to the front of Nuriko's restaurant and stopped. Siri was at the front door waiting.)

Siri: What are you guys waiting for?

Shinn: Ain't this Nuriko's restaurant?

Siri: Yes it is.

Pimp: We can't go in there!

Siri: Kudosai is in there.

Shinn: Thats because Kudosai is a crazy Mother-

Siri: Hey! Watch it! Now I know that you and Nuriko are enemies but we haveta set aside our differences and work together.

Shinn: You sound like a damn broken record.

Pimp: Hey Shinn! She said to watch our languages, so stop cussin'!

Shinn: I'll cuss whenever the fuck I want!

(Pimp kicks Shinn and he yells.)

Shinn: Ya dirty little-

Pimp: You should really try to listen and respect people more.

Shinn: Shut up! You ain't a goody little angel yourself!

Siri: Well, good one Pimp. Okay, lets just go. Nuriko won't bite...yet.

(So, the three walked inside. Sum greets them.)

Sum: Welcome!

(Sum shows them to a big, long table that was able to seat everyone who was going with Siri. There were three seats open. One sitting next to Nuriko, who was sitting at the end, one in the middle right, and one at the opposite end facing Nuriko. Siri sits by Nuriko, Pimp sits in the middle, and Shinn sits at the seat facing Nuriko. Everyone had a bowl of white rice to start out with, and some adoubou on top, oh yeah with the dipping sauce too. They had small trays of sushi of all kinds of varieties and a cup of tea or soda depending on what they wanted. They started eating. Pimp looked at the food and slowly started to eat as if they was something wrong with the food. He eventually started chowing down because the adoubou was so good. Nuriko clears her throat and begins to speak. All are silent.)

Nuriko: Welcome to my restaurant! Muahahahahahaha! Always wanted to say that. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this wonderful food that was prepared especially for each of you. Oh, and don't worry, its not poison. I seen that some of you were a little bit skeptical about that. Anyway, we'll all be joining Siri on her quest and she would like to say a few words.

Siri: Well, I'd like to thank you all for joining me on my quest. I don't think I would be able to do it alone. I think that this might be a fun journey and I hope that we'll all end up becoming good friends afterwards. But enough about this right now. Lets just eat.

(And so, the gang continues eating. Just then, a woman who wore an outfit just like Hitomi's walked inside. Sum greets her.)

Sum: Hi! May I help you?

Woman: Just get me a table.

Sum: Okay then. Right this way.

(Sum shows her to a table for one. She sits down.)

Sum: Would you like to order something now?

Woman: Just a salad.

Sum: Okay.

(Sum leaves to put in the order. The woman looks at Shinn and smiles.)

Woman: So, thats the man she wants dead, eh? Well, Mr. Shinn, You'd better watch out..Hitomi is coming for you. Muahahahahahahaha!
