'How did I wind up here?' Minami asked herself as she contemplated how many gods she must have seriously pissed off to be dragged unknowingly down the street by the Macho Man in uniform Tsukasa herself, who was happily skipping ahead of her while clutching the string of a little pink balloon in one hand, and the somehow broken hand of Minami in the other.

They had stopped by a party store after much of Tsukasa's pleading, and to the horror of all the children inside she had proccured a pink balloon, a pink party hat, and had cannon balled into the ball pit. Minami could still hear the screams...

As she was dragged by the skipping bahemoth she watched helplessly as onlookers debated calling the cops. At one point several kind patrons actually attempted to grab her and set her free unbeknownst to Tsukasa. Apparently the happy little song she was singing inside her helmet muffled Minami's screams as three men were dragged for five blocks when grabbing ahold of Minami's ankles. Perhapse if they had let go after three or four blocks her arm would still be securely in its socket, but Minami figured it was best to think about that after she regained the feeling in her legs.

Finally they stopped at the martial arts gym where Tsukasa would be training. Tsukasa let go of Minami's hand and she let herself fall to the floor face first, the teeth that were knocked out of place tasted like freedom at last and Minami relished in the feeling.

However it was short lived. Tsukasa instantly let out an intense high pitched squeal of glee that caused several cats in the nearby area to hiss, after dancing around in a circle happily she grasped Minami's hand once more and dragged her inside. Minami knew all she could do was prey for death and hope it came swiftly.

Unfortunately it did not. However she was released and allowed to relax and watch Tsukasa train with her new master on the matt before her. She decided to lie down and try to slip into a coma with no luck, her quiet slip into a vegetative state was interrupted with the loud warriors cry of a woman flying.

Feet first.

Into Tsukasa's face.

"LESSON NUMBER ONE: A WARRIOR MUST ALWAYS BE PREPARED! HOOHAA!" She screamed bashing in her chest like an ape at a zoo, making Minami wince as she wondered whether or not the woman's breasts were made of steel.

Tsukasa, woozy from impact, staggered to her feet. But was not up for long before a the same woman leaped onto her back. Tsukasa may not have noticed the weight, but she did notice the lack of oxygen when the older lady had her arms wrapped tightly around her neck.

Unsure of what to do in any situation not involving tea parties, stuffed animals, or cooking, Tsukasa did the only logical thing that came to mind: She ran through the wall.

The two were in the street now, Tsukasa flailing as she wondered why oh why running through a wall head first did not make the person on her back release her, and the woman on her back loling her head back and fourth crazily as she chanted loudly "LESSON NUMBER ONE! LESSON NUMBER ONE! LESSON NUMBER ONE!"

Seeing as how running through a wall had failed, Tsukasa did the next best thing, run through everything else. She ran through a crowd of people who had for some reason not bothered to turn around when they heard the explosion that was the teen smashing through solid cement. None survived. When that didn't work Tsukasa's brilliant mind decided her next best bet would be to run headfirst into oncoming traffic.

She was surprised the lunatic on her back had not let go when she realized the large soldier was headed into trafic, in fact she seemed more determined than ever to keep a hold of her new protege: Her face grew more stern, her eyebrows slowly growing together into one ultimate brow, her eyes slowly slid in separate directions as if trying to escape all on their own, unwilling to take the sacrifice their master was for the sake of schooling, her mouth grew more agape as she chanted louder and louder. "LESSON NUMBER ONE! LESSON NUMBER ONE! LESSON NUMBER ONE!" It seemed to nearly unhinge to the point she could fit a small sumo wrestler inside, and that was when they were hit by the car.

Thankfully for Tsukasa she landed on her back and was released. Unfortunately for the car it had hit Tsukasa, and had passed on to car heaven, its owner so horrified by what he had just seen he rethought his entire life and quit his job the next day and never drove again.

"...Lesson... Number... One... You Passed..." Whispered the instructor. "I'll... see... you... Monday..."

Happy to have passed lesson number one Tsukasa got up, feeling awfully proud she decided her and Minami should go out to the nearest pizza place and celebrate. She informed her friend of this post haste, explaining there was one with a play place nearby, instantly Minami knew the one Tsukasa was talking about. It had a ball pit. She stood there breathless as the screams of agony and dread from the children at the party store filled her ears, several of them drowning instantly in the tidlewave of plastic balls.

Eye twitching, she said simply "I feel more like a cake buffet."
