You know you want to praise me. Cause I am Atobe, you will worship me for all my grace and beauty for I am Atobe. You know you love me, and even though your mere peasants you will kiss the ground I walk on. Now leave your worshipping message at the beep and praise me for it all.

[Atobe Answering Machine ~Answer: Mizuki]

Atobe [Machine]: You know you want to praise me.
Mizuki: Actually I don't.
Atobe [Machine]: Cause I am Atobe, you will worship me for all my grace and beauty for I am Atobe.
Mizuki: I really don't care. I'm just calling to let you know that we will be going up against you soon.
Atobe [Machine]: You know you love me, and even though your mere peasants you will kiss the ground I walk on.
Mizuki: Who you calling a peasant?
Atobe [Machine]: Now leave your worshipping message at the beep and praise me for it all.
Mizuki: For the last time I am not praising you.
Atobe [Machine]: *Beep*
Mizuki: Don't want too.

Door slams and Atobe wonders into the room exhausted from a day of traveling and training. "I'm home...I wonder if there is any message." Waltzing over to his answer machine, he pressed the button.

The answering machine responded, "You have two Message."

"What only two? Pff. Oh well maybe they all e-mail praises to me instead. Oh well let's see who is praising me today." Atobe reassured his ego, as he pressed the play button.

Otori Chotaroh voice came over the line. "See ya!"

Atobe became puzzled, "See ya?"

Mizuki voice came over the line, "Don't want too."

Atobe stares at his machine, "Maybe it's broken."
