The Dentist

One day at the Kazama residence, Shohei was feeding Hikari II some flies and beetles.

"More! I want some more flies and beetles!"
"Sit tight, I'll find some more!"

Shohei leaves his bedroom. Reiko sneaks in seconds later.

"Hehehe... time to have some fun in oneesan's room!" Reiko giggled to herself.
Hikari II thought to itself, "Uh-oh, it's Shohei's larval sister Reiko. She better not mess with even one spore on me..."
"Hey Hikari II, how are you doing? Can I take a look at you?"

Hikari II nearly bites Reiko's hand off, but she gets her hand out of the way right before it got the chance.

"I guess that means no, huh?"

Reiko looks around and sees Shohei's diary.

"Hey, I found Shohei-oneesan's diary!" Reiko said as she picks it up to read. "Day 10, Month 7. It was hot today. I went to the water park with my sister Reiko. Hikari was wearing a cute new swimsuit, and she looked so attractive in it... Gee, oneesan, all you ever think about is Hikari!"
"That's not true!" a voice shouted.

Reiko got startled and realizes that Shohei was at the door.

"Oneesan!"
"You're not supposed to be looking at my diary! Now get out before I tell mom that you broke that lamp last Tuesday!"
"All right, all right! You're so lame when you tell me what to do!" said Reiko as she walked out.

With Reiko gone, Shohei goes over to Hikari II.

"Little sisters, huh, Two-chan?"
"I don't know, because I don't have any. Now where's my food, because I'm starving!"
Just then, Shohei's mother called, "Shohei, can you come downstairs for a minute?"
"Coming, mom!"

As Shohei leaves the room, Hikari II eats the bugs he placed on the desk.

"Mmm... a nice blend of dry and juicy."

Meanwhile, downstairs...

"What is it?"
"I'm going to Mrs. Kotsuzuka's for a game of mahjong and some tea."
"The lady whose family members are dropping off like flies?"
"Yes. Her nephew Taro got 3rd-degree burns playing with matches."
"That's terrible!"

Meanwhile in the den, Reiko eavesdrops.

"Serves him right," Reiko whispers.
"Kazama Reiko, I heard that!" said mom. "Come out here!"
"Me and my big mouth..."

Reiko comes out and meets up with the others.

"No one deserves third-degree burns, young lady."
"But Taro is SO ANNOYING! He's always picking on us at school!"
"That's enough. Now then, Shohei, while I'm visiting Mrs. Kotsuzuka, you will be babysitting Reiko."
"But I can't babysit Reiko today!" said Shohei. "I planned on visiting Hikari today!"
"Sorry Shohei, but my decision is final. Oh, and today, Reiko's going to the dentist."
"THE DENTIST?!" Shohei and Reiko shouted in unison.

At the dentist's office, screams can be heard as the Kazama siblings sit in the waiting room.

"Oh boy, I hope I'm next! I, Midorikawa Akira, enjoy coming here!" a man said in delight.
"Dr. Haru. Oh my God, he scares me! He gets pleasure out of his patients' pain! Luckily, I don't get to see that creep!" said Shohei.
The nurse comes in and she said, "Kazama Reiko, you are next."
"Aww..." said Akira in disdain.

Reiko nervously steps into the room. Dr. Haru turns around and smiles.

"Why, hello, little girl, do you remember me? I am Dr. Haru, D.D.S. Ever since I started dentistry, I hated it, but then, when that boy got his first check-up from me when you were still a baby, I learned to get pleasure from other peoples' pain. Boy, was he nervous!"
"So am I!"
"But enough talk, Reiko, let's take a look into your pretty little mouth..."

Dr. Haru examines Reiko's teeth.

"Well Reiko, it seems your teeth are... exceptional! Somebody's been taking good care of them."
"Really? That was close..."
"What?"
"Nothing."

Reiko skips out of the dentist office.

"How did it go, Reiko?" asked Shohei.
"See, oneesan? My teeth are perfect!" Reiko said as she flashes a big smile.
"Yeah, they sure are! Good job!"

Just then, Dr. Haru appears, startling Shohei.

"Ah, Shohei! Let me see your teeth."
"Um... but I took good care of them!"
"Who is the dentist here?" Dr. Haru said as he checks the inside of Shohei's mouth. "Hmm... well Shohei, it seems your teeth are... in good condition! But! You have a wisdom tooth that needs to be plucked out."
"WHAT?! But I haven't felt any pain in it yet!"
"Silence! I am a dentist! Let's pluck it out immediately!"

Shohei runs off with Reiko right behind him. Dr. Haru chases after them.

"Come back here! Nobody runs away from Dr. Haru and gets away with it!"

As the siblings run as far away as possible, they managed to get away.

Between panting, Shohei said, "Oh good, he hasn't caught up to us yet. Let's try to keep going while we still have the chance..."

As the siblings continue to run, Shohei accidentally bumps into someone and his glasses fly off.

"My glasses!" Shohei cried as he falls to his knees and searches. "Where are they? Everything is a blur!"
"There you go, oneesan!" Reiko said as she gives Shohei his glasses.
As Shohei puts his glasses back on, he apologizes, "Sorry about bumping into..." he pauses to stare in fear. "..you."

The person Shohei bumped into was a biker with minty green eyes and dark brown hair in the shape of a shark fin.

In a menacing tone, the biker asked, "Who dares bump into the man known as Samekiba Orin?"
Shohei cried, "I said I was sorry! Please don't hurt me! Or my sister!"
"Wow, he's scary, Shohei!" said Reiko.
"I'll show you little worms what scary really is! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

As Shohei and Reiko resumed running, Orin chases them down on his motorcycle.

"I'm going to be killing two little birds with one big motorcycle!"

The siblings ran as fast as they could. They eventually make it to Hikari's mansion after managing to get away from Orin.

"That was close!" Shohei said as he pants and rang Hikari's doorbell. Her mother answers.
"Hello?"
"This is Kazama Shohei. I'm with my sister Reiko. May we come inside?"
"Sure."

The doors to the mansion open and the siblings go inside and take off their shoes.

"Wow, Hikari is LOADED!" said Reiko.
"How nice of you two to visit!" said Hikari's mother.
"Same here," said Shohei. "Now can we go see your daughter?"
"Of course! Hikari, your friend Shohei is here to see you!"

Just then, Shohei winces a little as he places his hand on his left cheek.

"Ow..."
"Are you okay, oneesan?" Reiko asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay," Shohei lied. He thought, "Oh no, Dr. Haru might have a point after all..."

In Hikari's room, the kids were drinking tea on a kotatsu table as they had a conversation.

"So, you came here because the dentist wanted to pluck out your wisdom tooth despite the lack of pain?" asked Hikari.
"Yes, that's why I- ow! That's why I came here."
"Shohei, are you all right?"
"It's nothing."
"I remember years ago, I knew someone who was afraid of seeing him," said Hikari. "He never came back since and brushed his teeth excessively for a week."
Reiko pondered, "Hmm... why does it sound so familiar?"

Just then, a motorcycle engine can be heard outside. Shohei peeks out the window to see Orin on his motorcycle! And Dr. Haru held on!

"Oh no! It's him! And that biker!"

Shohei could only peek out the window in fear, but he manages to push it open and he falls out and lands in the shrubbery.

"Shohei, are you all right?!" cried Hikari.

Hikari and Reiko rush downstairs and outside to get to Shohei.

"Shohei!"
"Don't worry, the bush cushioned the impact of my body!... Gah, I can't lie anymore; my tooth HURTS!"
"Shohei! There is nowhere left to run." said Dr. Haru. "First, I will pluck out that wisdom tooth..."
"...and then I'll run you over with my motorcycle until you are completely fla..." Orin pauses to see Hikari. "Oh, what do we have here?"
"Huh?"
"You're a very cute little girl, aren't you? Why spend your time with him when you could be with a big, strong man like me, Samekiba Orin?"
Disgusted, Hikari says, "Um... uh... Shohei, HELP!"
"All right, that's it! How dare you talk to Hikari that way?!" Shohei says as he gets up and confronts Orin.
"That's right! You're disgusting!" said Reiko.
"2 against 1? This is not fair even though I'm bigger than both of you! Uncle Haru, I'm getting out of here!"
"Go ahead, nephew."
"Don't think this is the last time we meet!"

Orin leaves on his motorcycle.

Dr. Haru said, "Now then, Mr. Kazama, come with me."

Back at the dentist's office, Dr. Haru plucks out Shohei's wisdom tooth, causing him to scream in pain.

"Oh, yes! I've wanted to hear that cry of pain once more!" Dr. Haru screamed in delight. "Thank you, Shohei! Now, I'm going to retire from dentistry and become a surgeon!"

With that, Dr. Haru runs off laughing giddily. Like he said, he retires from dentistry and became a surgeon, still causing pain for his patients. His replacement was none other than his nephew Orin, who causes more pain than Haru did. Yes, he actually has a dental degree at age 18, but that's another story. However, only one patient enjoys this...

"All right, who's next?" said Orin.
"Me, Midorikawa Akira, I'm next!" Akira exclaimed in excitement.
"All right..." said Orin as he sweat-drops.
