Warm heat flooded her entire body, running through her like a wild river of sensation. Oh God, even my toes feel tingly. Did it always feel this good to kiss the jackass? Taking a double-fistfull of ripped yellow tunic, she pulled herself closer, straining up an inch to get closer to the source of the wonderful feeling.
"Mmmm....Aaah?" Ukyo blinked, puzzled. Wait, since when was he this tall? Breaking the kiss with some reluctance, she bounced on the balls of her feet a few times, then got up on her tiptoes. Oh man, there's no way Mato was THIS tall. Frowning, Ukyo inched back a bit and crossed her arms over her chest. "Sugar, did you get tall- aaaaa... Ack."
"... Ok, what's with the weird noises?" Tilting his head to the side a bit, Mato's eyes narrowed. "Was it the hair? Because, I can explain that one."
"N-no! That's not it at all." Shaking her head quickly, Ukyo put a hand atop her head, then slid it forward. It bumped into Mato's collarbone. Oh boy. This is a problem. "You're... Huge." Boggling a little, Ukyo stepped back a few feet, staring with very wide eyes. "You've got..." She made a few vague gestures with her hands, trying to find the words to explain the problem.
"... A shirt on? New haircut? Stubble?" Mato stroked his chin and cheeks for a moment. "Nnnnope, good there."
Ukyo held up her arms and crossed them at the wrists, making an X shape. "Not even close." How the heck did this happen to him? "You're... A foot taller Mato. You've got to have put on at least ten pounds of muscle for every inch you grew, and you look-" She trailed off. "...Hunky."
"Dunky?" Mato gave her an odd look.
"I said HUNKY. You're... Older. Way older." Akane was always saying how she didn't get why her sister was into older men... THIS is why. Ukyo felt a tingle at the small of her back. "Wh- buh... How? How in the world-"
"Multiverse."
"What?"
"Multiple universes. One you start jumping between dimensions, 'what in the world' doesn't even begin to cover all the weird stuff you can see." Smiling a little, Mato wagged a finger at her. "It pays to be accurate y'know."
"Fine, whatever." Still a pain, at least that hasn't changed. "Seriously Mato, you look at least five years older." Despite the confusion, Ukyo couldn't help but realize that at least one thought in her head was as clear as very expensive crystal. Oh boy Ukyo, did you pick a winner. Yum yum. "... Ok, that was a very weird thing to think."
"What was?"
"Um, nevermind!" Shaking her head, Ukyo began a slow walk around Mato, a pace that quickened considerably as she rounded his side, and slowed to a crawl as her eyes locked on his backside.
"Hey, I'm not a piece of meat."
More like eye-candy. "Sorry!" Ripping her gaze away, she completed her circle and stared at him, arms crossed over her chest. This is very weird, and very yumm- NO! Bad Ukyo! Figure out what the heck happened first, fantasize later. "Five, maybe four years older... Still, how-"
"More like ten, at least." Mato scratched his cheek. "Or twelve, I dunno. I lose track all the time."
"Yeah, but... People don't just get suddenly older sugar. Not even you do that." Frowning, Ukyo tapped her fingers on her arm, thinking hard.
"Well duh. This is my original body."
"...What?"
"Whaddya mean 'what'? You think that little crapstorm of spare parts was my body? It was a piece of junk."
Ukyo stared blankly for several seconds. "... What? Sugar, you beat the crap outta Ryoga, knocked out Ranma in one blow-"
"To be fair, that was a sucker punch."
"You took on that bimbo Shampoo and her dried up mummy of a granny at the same time, and made them run away... AND killed a God knows how old Chinese Demon, with your bare hands! That's your definition of CRAPPY?"
"...Yup."
Ukyo looked like she was either going to faint, or clobber him. Or both. "You-"
"Look Ukyo, this is my body, my real body." He tapped his chest. "The one I've had for most of my life. It's not something somebody whipped up out of normal human building blocks on the spur of the moment." Mato stuffed his hands into his pockets. "It makes a huge difference."
She took a moment to digest that. "...Most of your life?" Ukyo arched an eyebrow.
"Long story, don't ask... You don't wanna know." Sighing, Mato tilted his head back, looking up at the sky. "Needless to say, you don't need to worry about me anymore. Not unless the moon decides to fall out of the sky... And, I dunno, catches on fire or something."
Ukyo stared at him.
"If it's not on fire, we're good."
Ukyo threw her hands into the air, making a disgusted noise. "I give up! I don't know if I should kiss you or kick your ass!"
"Neither would probably be best, you're underage y'know."
"Don't you start with that buster. You kissed me first, and I'll be damned if I let you cut me off now!" Shaking her fist at him, Ukyo stomped over, grabbed a fistfull of his shirt, and tugged.
"..." She's got me on that one.
"Rrrr." Grumbling, Ukyo got up on her tip-toes, straining to stretch her neck upwards. "Rrrggh." Grabbing his shirt with both hands, she hauled on it, balancing on the very ends of her toes. "Rrrghhh." Her lips almost reached his chin.
"...Uh, problem?"
"Rrr, shut up and lean down, you're too damn tall."
"Ahem." A female voice cut in from off to the side.
"Eep." Blushing, Ukyo froze in place for a moment, then slowly turned her head to see what the problem was.
Inuyasha and Kagome were both standing a short ways away. Both were very red, and looking a little uncomfortable, and neither one of them was actually looking in their direction. "Can we go now?" An ear twitched atop the half-Demon's head.
"Meh, whatever." Shrugging, Mato looked around for a moment. "Ok, the landscape's all messed up. I never spent enough time down that well to figure out exactly what the countryside looks like, so you'll have to lead us there."
"Why should I?" Huffing, Inuyasha continued to avoid eye contact.
"Mutt."
"What was that?!" Growling, Inuyasha whipped around to glare at the offending fellow, hands twitching as if he was tempted to stomp over there and cut him to ribbons.
"What're you, four? Grow the hell up." Scooping Ukyo up in his arms, Mato looked around a last time, then shook his head. "Meh." He glanced back at Inuyasha. "I don't have the paitience to indulge your need to be a whiney, childish, brat. You wanna do this by yourself? Fine, go right ahead. But, if you want this crap done quick and right, you come find us." With that he bounded off.
"Fine! Good riddance! We didn't need you and your useless Human anyway! Me an' Kagome can handle this fine on our own!" Growling, Inuyasha turned to look back at Kagome. "Right Kagome?"
"... Inuyasha." Kagome's eye twitched. "Sit."
WHAM!
"GYAGH!"
-
"Wow, you guys caught up pretty fast." Trying not to smirk, and failing, Mato bounded along beside the half-Demon. "...Why's your face all dirty?"
"Shut up." Not looking very pleased at all, Inuyasha sailed along, touching down on the ground occasionally, only to leap back into the sky once more. It was a fairly rapid way to cover ground, and a lot quieter than simply running.
"Whatever." Frowning, Mato glanced around. Is it just me, or does it seem like the world's gone crazy here? I see a tram line about five blocks to the left I think, and a big ass building a few miles ahead... But everything around me otherwise looks like open countryside. This is a bit of a new one, even for me. Resisting the urge to sigh, Mato glanced down at the girl in his arms.
Who, for her part, was making the most of the situation. Ukyo had both hands hanging onto his shirt, and had her head nestled against his chest, a dopey smile on her face.
Yeash... This time he did sigh. "Shouldn't be much farther now... I suppose it's time for the pain in the ass lackeys to show up and give us a hard time, or something."
"What? Don't be stupid. We're still a long way away from the well, and there's nobody out here in the middle of nowh- YOW!" Something thin, sharp, and painful slammed into Inuyasha's side, knocking him out of the air. Even though he was surprised, the half-Demon still had enough presence of mind to twist around and take the brunt of the fall, protecting Kagome from harm. "...Who. Did. That?" Kagome was fine, but it'd take a lot more than that to make him happy about any of this.
"Awww, poor puppy fell down?" A sultry voice drifted down from the sky, as did a dark haired woman dressed in elegant flowing robes. Hiding her mouth behind a paper fan, she drifted lazily down to the ground atop a large feather.
Well, I'll be that had to sting. Smirking a little, Mato took his time to circle back, keeping the treeline between himself and the newcomer. I'll just plunk Ukyo down with Kags, and then go deal with the mutt, his angst, and the fan chick. All in a day's work, as USUAL. Shaking his head, Mato waved at Kagome from behind a tree, setting Ukyo down with his other arm. Pain in my ass, tch.
"Don't think I don't see you there, little human." Still hiding her mouth behind the fan, the woman arched a brow at the half-Demon. "Oh my, did I hurt you very badly, poor puppy? A shame."
Kagome trotted over after Inuyasha shoved her away with a scowl. Clearly, he wanted her to be out of the line of fire when he finally lost his temper. Which, as usual, wouldn't be taking very long. That BITCH. He bared his fangs in a snarl.
"Just hide here a sec, you two are totally useless in a situation like this."
"What?! If I had my bow, I could-"
"Yeah, but ya don't. So it's 'could, but really can't' so shut up and keep outta trouble for like... Three minutes."
"Rrrrr, you bitch... I'll kill you for that one!" For some reason, the half-Demon was having a lot of trouble just getting up off of the ground. Ground stained a dark red.
"Oh, if only you could stand. A pity my wind blades struck you in the legs so hard, now isn't it?"
"Yeah yeah, blah blah. Pity, shame, shaddap already." Sighing, Mato stepped out from behind the trees, scratching his head. The mutt should be healed in a minute or two. All I need to do really, is drag out the yapping for a bit, then he can get up and deal with this crap instead of ME.
"Oh my, you look... Delicious." Kagura stared at the new pest over the edge of her fan, a hint of red creeping across her cheeks. Maybe I'll kill the others, and save this one for some fun... He looks... Very appetizing. Chuckling to herself, the Demon woman took a moment to indulge herself in what she could do to the new mortal. It was not rated G at all. And hardly any of it involved pants.
Or soy sauce, if any of you are worried about that sort of thing. Wrong kind of tasty. Get your minds into the gutter.
Why does everyone look at me like I'm a piece of meat? It's really insulting sometimes. Sighing, Mato pinched the bridge of his nose. He was content to stall, and resisting the urge to let out a few scathing, insulting comments about the Demon's parentage. It was difficult to decide which was more important at the moment.
"I think I'll cut your arms and legs, just enough so you can't move... Then I'll have a little fun with you." Laughing quietly to herself, Kagura lifted her fan above her head, turning just enough to let the human see her profile. Perhaps he'll come without a fight once he sees my obvious assets. Men do think with their eyes more than their brains. "If you're very good, I may even make you my pet." Her smile turned nasty. "But if you fail to impress me, I'll kill you like this mutt here!" Her arm snapped down, and a tangled weave of thickened air charged with enough Demonic energy to make it visible, raced towards the prone Inuyasha. Clearly, she ment to finish the half-Demon off quickly, before he had a chance to recover.
A blur of black and yellow darted in between the two enemies, stooped over low to the ground.
"Bakusai Tenketsu revised; Loose Earth Buffer!" There was a faint crackle, a mere instant before a thick wall of earth burst from the ground between Kagura and Inuyasha. The wind blades slammed into the mass of dirt, and sent it flying everywhere, literally tearing the feeble defense apart.
Wh- what was THAT? Stepping back a few paces, Kagura held up her fan again, readying herself to strike, should whatever it was that had blocked her attack show up again. "A feeble defense, whatever it was! I am mistress of the air, and nothing can withsta- ah?"
Standing between Kagura and a still mostly-fine Inuyasha, Mato was scratching his cheek, looking rather unconcerned. One hand was still stuffed into his pocket. "Fine, just call me 'El Viento' then." Smirking, he lifted his hand into the air above his head. "Because you may be the 'mistress of air' but..." Curling his fingers into his palm to make a fist, his eyes flashed bright green, twinkling with good natured menace. "I am the WIND! Hiryu Shoten Ha horizontal revised!" Shifting back, Mato dropped his fist to his side, then stepped forwards as he punched the air before him. A cylinder of twisting air burst from his arm, and tore it's way through the space between himself and Kagura in an instant.
Opening her mouth as she brought her fan down, Kagura was an instant too late. The wild spiral of wind slammed into her body, lifting her into the air and hurling her away like an errant leaf.
"Oh yeah..." Shading his eyes with a hand, Mato smirked as he watched the Demon sail into the distance. "She's not coming down for a long time... I love fighting wind Demons. They're so light, it's just so damn easy to fling 'em away."
Kagome stepped out from behind the tree, staring at the torn up ground, Mato, and finally- "Inuyasha!" Running over to the half-Demon's side, she knelt down, grabbing a handful of his bright red haori. "Are you ok?"
"Keh! I'm fine, it'll take more than- eh?" Blinking, he stared at Kagome as she flung her arms around him, and buried her face in his shoulder. After a moment, he slid one arm around her, keeping his big mouth shut for once.
"... You know she's just gonna come back, right?" Ukyo slowly walked over to Mato's side, staring at how badly he'd torn up the ground. Wow, that's... A big change from how he used to be. Fighting Ryoga took everything out of him that first time, now... She tilted her head back to stare at his profile. He only used one hand, and didn't even bother to MOVE to pull that technique off. Even Ranma can't do that without an opponent's hot aura and a few fancy steps. He's a little scary.
"And probably be very pissed off at me, yes."
"Probably?"
"Well, there's a pretty good chance that she'll come back frothing mad... I like to keep an open mind." Stuffing his other hand into his pocket, Mato continued to smirk, mainly at the thought of someone being frothing mad at him. It was an amusing mental image.
"Right. Whatever you say sugar." Sighing, Ukyo leaned against his side. This is so weird, I always figured that Mato was just a bit of a jackass. I even thought he might be a little younger than me, and was just too serious for his age. But... I never would have dreamed that he'd be nearly twice my age. Ukyo stood there silently, trying to decide how she felt about the situation, and if she even cared at all. And the way he fights... Oh, he said he ran into Ranma when he started looking for me. I hope he didn't hurt him. A mental image of Mato flicking Ranma away with a single finger popped into her head. No way, not that easy. She turned her gaze up to Mato's face again. Right?
-
"Are we there yet?"
"No!"
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!"
"Are we th-"
"RRGGGHHH!"
"Hey, if I gotta carry all three of you, I'm gonna damn well be amused by it. Got it?" Twisting his mouth up a little, Mato carried Inuyasha over one shoulder, Kagome over the other, and Ukyo in his arms. Good God, I feel like a friggin' bus. Is that what I've been reduced to? Going from... "...Huh."
"What now?" Inuyasha's eye twitched. The past few minutes of life would be dubbed as 'sheer hell' for easy reference. He was clearly not in a good mood. "What's your damn problem now?"
"Well, I just can't think of a good word to describe what it is that I do." Frowning, Mato bounded easily along, skimming across the occasional treebranch that whipped into his path, before taking to the sky with a careless leap once more.
"Well, what would you say to describe yourself?" Kagome was slightly less bothered by the strange fellow, mainly because he seemed to come from the same time as her. It felt so liberating to be able to use pop culture references again, and not have to explain them in great detail.
"In a word... Esoteric."
"...What?"
"You haven't been studying much, have you?" He shot a glance over his shoulder at the schoolgirl. "You're never gonna graduate at this rate Kags."
"Yeah, well I- AH! Tree!"
"Oh relax, it's just a tree." Thudding feet-first into the trunk, Mato arched his back.
What happen next, horribly bent physics.
A quick backflip, and Mato firmly planted his heels on the other side of the tree's trunk, and kicked off of it, sailing into the air once more."See? Not a problem."
"Guh, wuh, buh... Whaddya mean 'not a problem'?! That was a problem! That was a big problem!"
"What? I just went around it."
Kagome sputtered a few times. "But you can't just slam into a tree at thirty miles an hour, spin a little, and wind up on the other side like it wasn't a problem, WITHOUT TOUCHING ANYTHING IN BETWEEN!"
"C'mon, I do stuff like that all the time." Humming a little, Mato blithely continued on his way, ignoring Kagome's ranting. He glanced down at the girl in his arms, who, it seemed, was content to shut out the entire world and enjoy the ride. Even all the screaming and thumping hadn't done a thing to damage her simple joy. Also, there was the fact that the toll taken from firing off her chi blast had finally caught up with her, leaving her fairly mentally drained. "Look, I didn't exactly break any Newtonian laws, just... Bent them a little."
"You can't BEND the laws of physics!" Kagome would've hauled on his ears, if Mato's had been furry, pointed, and perched atop his head like Inuyasha's were. Instead, she held on for dear life and yelled. Oh, how she yelled.
"I can too, I do it all the time. Hell, even my existence bends reality around me." Another branch flashed into view, semi-parallel to his flight path. Letting one foot touch down, he glided along it's length, then kicked off at the end. "That's why I have the chains around me."
"You'll rupture the space time conti- what? What chains? I don't see any chains!"
"Well, they're kinda Quantum in nature, so that's not really a surprise." The faint, near-real jingle and clank of corroded, semi-perceptible metal danced at the edge of his perception. After a moment, he tuned the sound out again. "But trust me, they're there." Them, and the locks I keep it together with. I should really do something about my essence corrupting the chain, but... Eh, whatever. It's not really my problem, well, it is but... Not once it bursts. A wolfish smile curled his lips. Then it's everyone else's problem. "Anyway, hang on."
"Eh?" Kagome blinked a few times, looking around. "Why, what's happening?"
Shrugging, Mato tapped his foot against a passing tree, and shifted his angle of flight a little.
An instant later, the trees around the four were torn to ribbons. It seemed the very air around them was lashing out at every inch of matter that wasn't as dense as solid rock.
"EEP!"
"Yeah, that." Easily gliding to the ground, Mato lightly shrugged off the pair, and set Ukyo on her feet. He lightly tapped the chef on the head. "Time to hide again, alright?" He glanced at Kagome. "I didn't tell ya because I knew you'd spaz out. Now go take Ukyo and your wounded little buddy somewhere safe. I guess you could take the gag out too... If you really have to."
"Gag? What gag?" Turning to look at him, Kagome suddenly noticed the fact that Inuyasha's mouth had been stuffed with about half a dozen yellow bandannas, and his wrists had been tied together with another one. "When the heck did that happen?" Grabbing Inuyasha's hair with one hand, she linked arms with Ukyo, and fairly dragged the two away. I'll take the gag out later. If he yells, and he will, he'll attract too much attention. And with his wound still... I've gotta keep him safe.
"So, you're back again, eh lightweight?" Stuffing his hands into his pockets, Mato glanced off to the side, noticing absently that the ground and trees had been covered in snow for some time now. Oh totally weird. I guess time's messed up so much that the seasons are slipping loose now too. "And, I think you brought a friend with you. No?" A smirk curled one corner of his mouth upwards, baring a hint of fang.
"Very good tasty boy. Very good." Kagura remained where she was, out of sight behind a snow speckled tree. "I don't know how you spotted my sister, but-"
"Kanna, the little girl with the mirror, if I remember right." He glanced over at the tree the Demon was hiding behind. "I'll give you one warning now, fan chick; The mirror won't help you in the slightest. I've tangled with it once awhile back and didn't have much of a problem with it. Today, it won't even make me blink."
"Hah, a foolish boast. I know you're lying." Kagura touched the tip of her folded fan to her lips. He's lying, nobody has ever EASILY delt with the mirror. No one DEALS with the mirror, they merely survive. "My sister would remember someone like yourself. You're bluffing to save your miserable life." And that body of yours... So arrogant, but so unlike that filthy dog with the other humans. Her tongue flicked out, trailing a wet circle around the tip of her fan. I'll make you mine yet, mortal.
Kanna drifted close to her sister, holding a mirror between her small hands. "Sister, shall I-"
"Just a little, I want enough of him left to keep for myself." Kagura's fingers tightened around her fan, squeezing it. With him, I can use his power to kill Naraku, and free myself from his grasp. Then... Her tongue flicked another circle around the tip of her fan. I'll keep him forever. and richly award my 'hero' for saving me. Kagura placed her free hand to her chest, feeling empty, in spite of the tickle running along the length of her spine. A muted, delighted thrill at the thought of what she'd do to her new human pet once she was free. "Now Kanna."
The mirror sparkled in the cold winter air.
-
Well I'm done another chapter. Sorry there was such a huge delay from what I usually do, but I've had a metric ass ton of stuff to do, what with Christmas coming up. So you'll all have to make do with slightly longer, somewhat delayed chapter releases until... Uh, newyears I guess? Maybe right after boxing day. Depends.
If the chapter feels like it clunks a little in between breaks or paragraphs, yeah, I noticed it too. Not much I can do really, all things considered. I can usually make an edit or two, but I find that some changes mean I have to rewrite entire pages of work. So, you suffer a little clunk or two, but in the end get a decent result, I think.
Also, another cliffhanger ending. That's right. Someone didn't like the downer ending of a certain chapter (not that I can blame them, but it was written that way by intent) so you get a more usual ending from me once more.
You can't say that I don't listen to my fans, dammit.
Now say you love me, and want to give me Christmas related goodies.
Review reply time!
Teruro- Heh, what can I say to that one? Kagome makes Inuyasha slam his face into the ground to make up for how much she tolerates his somewhat bratty behavior. I'd say it evens out... But yeah, when she's not doing that, she's very Ukyo-like.
Jusenkyo- Shock! Reunion! One! Word! Sentences! Yay! Sorry, I shouldn't play with the comment reply section like that, but I couldn't resist. The help will come in the form of EVERYONE trying to kill Mato, like usual, right? Also, three dots in a row are known as an elipsis. It denotes a trailing off of speech, and I have a lot of characters doing that when I write. Or, sometimes I have something cut them off in mid sen-
Yeah, the art was pretty sweet, wasn't it? I utterly suck at drawing, but I guess my writing makes up for that. (I hope!) Mato never really had any color to his eyes, not until that picture was done. I was pretty damn surprised, I even mentioned it to the artist. I remember that conversation vividly.
"Hey, green? Mato doesn't have green eyes!"
"Ok, fine, I messed up, sorry! What color are the then? I'll change them."
"... Green is fine." Mutter. "He never actually had an eye color before."
"Yes yes, shut up."
So, yeah... I'm also a jerk like Mato sometimes it seems. Well, they say write what you know, right? Apparently, I also know what it's like to be a chick, a dude, a Demon, God, a half-Demon, a time travelling school girl, an idiot, a Chinese girl, a withered up old crone, a guy who turns into a duck...
... I mean, hey, look at that bird.
Pryde Kitty- Good. LIKE IT! Nah, kidding, sorry. Yes, Ukyo loves Mato, some freaky Demon fan chick loves Mato, the IRS loves Ma- wait, what? As for length, I'll try and shoot for around the same length as the last book. It was roughly the size of a decent novel, not counting all my pages of post script. I keep nearly all my other work on hold until I've finished this one.
Oh sure, I'm chipping away at my original novel ( The Sword Saint, over at fiction press dot net, hint hint) but other than that, this gets my primary focus, until the book is done. After that, I'll probably finish up one of my other works. Or, I'll be inspired to write another book. About what? I dunno yet, that's too far in the future to think about right now. Right now, Demonic ass needs some kicking.
Feed the addiction!
James Birdsong- Yay, glad to hear you approve!
Scourgeofthegalaxy- Oh, geez, don't damage anything you may need to use in the future. Send me goodies as punishment for yourself instead. Glad you like the Inuyasha stuff. But you're totally wrong about seeing any other Takahashi works in the making from me. I've never read any of her other works. Hell, I haven't even finished the damn Inuyasha MANGA yet! Ugh! That means I've never read Uresei Yatsura, Mason Ikoku, Mermaid's Scar, Runic Theater, or... Didn't she write One Pound Gospel too?
Good God, what a list of stuff she's done. And I've read barely ANY of it! AGH! So, sorry to deny your prayers, but that's the way it is. Inuyasha got an 'in' on this, because it's feasible to be linked closer than any other series on the entire planet. I don't need go into how, I hope you're all on the same page as me on this one.
Though, I might add different dimensional flavors if the fans can agree on a few they'd like to see. Also, I'm gonna have to limit it by stuff I've either seen, read, or can reasonably fake it out. The polls are open, and for a limited time.
Back to the reply though, sorry for side-tracking like that. Thanks for the review, and glad you liked it.
And, ah! People talking to each other through the reply section? That's not possible! How'd you squeeze between the lines inbetween the boxes like that?
And finally, before I go, a tiny scene that got snipped from the end of the chapter, just to make it a bit more neat. An omake, if you will.
-
Naraku lifted his head, hearing an odd fluttering sound.
Standing up from his seat beside the window, he spared a glance outside, at the snow filled courtyard below. Striding across the room, he took a small wooden box from a high shelf, and carefully opened the top. "Hmm." Peering inside, his pale lips curved into a puzzled frown. "How odd, it's never done that before."
Inside the box, a heart fluttered wildly, as if it were excited.
-
Yeah, I know. Heavy on the symbolic, but gross. A heart in a box, and the box isn't heart-shaped. Terrible song reference! So, yeah, see what you missed out on? Gross stuff and bad references.
This is why I've skipped out on omakes, I guess.
Until next time.
