Finally! Kagura's boyfriend

Note: All dialogue in Bold is spoken in English. Any other dialogue is translated from Japanese.

Joe, Chiyo, Tomo, Osaka, Yomi, and Kaorin all went outside and waited outside the property's wall.

"I wonder what her boyfriend is like," Yomi said.

"Well, he's German, so a typical German likes beer and bratwurst," Joe said.

"But that's a stereotype, and he might not like beer or bratwurst at all," Chiyo said

"Higher volume, with more digital bass boost. That could be a stereo type," Osaka said.

"What in the world…?" Yomi asked.

"I believe that thought to be otherworldly, Yomi-san," Joe said.

Joe's stomach let off a nasty growl.

"Hehe…guess it must be time for lunch," Joe said.

At that precise moment, a car pulled up. Kagura got out of the passenger side.

"Hey, everybody!" Kagura said. "Allow me to introduce my boyfriend, Heiko-san."

Heiko got out of the drivers side of the car. Kagura spoke something to him in German.

"Hello, everybody" Heiko said.

Joe managed to say "hello" in German.

"You speak German?" Chiyo asked.

"hehe…Actually, the only thing I know is 'hello'" Joe said, rubbing the back of his head with one hand in embarrassment.

At that moment, Sakaki came walking out, and Heiko got closer to everybody. If Joe were to describe Heiko: he was very muscular, and tall. Very tall. Both Joe and Sakaki had to look up to talk to Heiko. He had brown, brushed down hair, and wore a sleeveless shirt and shorts to show off his muscles.

Kagura started saying things in German. Everyone guessed that she was introducing everybody to Heiko, by the fact that they caught their names in the conversation.

Tomo was first.

"I heard about you," Heiko said, with slit eyes.

"Kagura say…good things…about…Tomo?" Tomo said. She obviously hadn't practiced her English in a while.

Heiko said something in German that Joe, Yomi, and Chiyo all guessed to be something along the lines of 'idiot', because Kagura nodded her head.

Next came Osaka.

"A German, an American, and a Frenchman all in Japan. Hehe" Osaka said.

"What is she talking about?" Yomi said.

"German being Heiko-san, American being me, and Frenchman being Tadaichi-san" Joe said.

Heiko spoke more German. Kagura shrugged her shoulders as she spoke more German.

Next it came to Yomi.

"I have heard about you. You are smart, grown up one" Heiko said.

This made Yomi swell with pride.

"I also told you are concerned with weight" Heiko said.

This made Yomi feel like she had just been slugged in the face.

"I like this guy already," Tomo said with a smile.

Next was Chiyo.

"Ah, you are child genius who was in high school. Almost outdid Kagura with your grades!" Heiko said.

Everybody glared at Kagura, who rubbed the back of her head with one hand, and laughed nerviously.

"Last I checked, you had the lowest grades in high school, Kagura-san" Yomi said in a very serious tone.

"Ah, minor detail I forgot to tell him," Kagura said nervously.

On to Kaorin.

"Hm? Ah, yes, you were one who always seemed to be after one called Sa…Sa…"Heiko said, unsure of who he was supposed to say.

"Sakaki" Kagura said.

"Sakaki!" Heiko said

This made Kaorin's face turn totally red in embarrassment. Kagura had actually noticed that she was chasing Sakaki?

"Ah, you are the strong, silent type, yes?" Heiko said to Sakaki.

Sakaki blushed slightly, and looked away.

"Those strong silent types are the best kind there is," Joe said, which made Sakaki feel better.

"Ah, you are American. Kagura told me you are good fighter!" Heiko said, as Kagura came to introducing Joe.

"Well, not that good a fighter," Joe said.

"Nonsense! Kagura told me you are excellent fighter! I must test this for myself!" Heiko said, and without warning, wound his fist back, and threw it forward.

Joe just barely managed to catch Heiko's one fist with his two hands. Heiko's hands were gigantic in comparison to Joe's. Even though Joe caught the fist, he still took enough of a blow to lose his breath.

Then something happened. Joe's felt a pain in his stomach, which had been caused by his empty stomach, coupled with Heiko's punch.

"Not bad! Now for attack number two!" Heiko said, as he raised his hand to do a karate chop.

That's when Joe wrapped his arms around his stomach, fell to his knees, and curled up. Joe was gritting his teeth.

"Joe-san? Are you OK?" Chiyo asked.

"Run…the evil…will be escaping…soon" Joe said, gasping out. He was breathing hard.

"Huh?!" Chiyo said

"RUN!!" Joe yelled.

Tomo, Yomi, Osaka, Kagura, and Kaorin all went running. Chiyo, Sakaki, and Heiko were standing there.

"Joe, what do you mean by 'the evil will be escaping soon'?" Chiyo asked.

"I'll be fine. Just run!" Joe said. The pain in his stomach was worsening.

Chiyo and Sakaki starting backing up, before turning around and running.

Heiko still stood there.

"I believe you are bluffing! I call bluff!" Heiko said.

"I'm not bluffing, Heiko! You must run quickly, before…" Joe said, and stopped instantly. His pupils went small.

"Before what?" Heiko said.

Too late, Joe thought.

Chiyo and Sakaki finally caught up with the rest of the group, who had only run about three blocks away.

"Chiyo-chan?! When did you run as fast as Sakaki-san?" Yomi asked.

"I've…been…running…on my…spare time" Chiyo said between breaths. She was wearing a smile.

"What do you suppose he meant by 'the evil'?" Tomo asked.

"I don't know, but he looked dead serious when he said it." Yomi said.

"What is Heiko doing?!" Kagura asked. "He should have come running with the rest of us!"

All of the Azu-girls suddenly heard a "Boom!"

"What was that?" Kaorin asked.

"It came from…where Heiko and Joe-san are…" Kagura said, obviously worried about her boyfriend.

A small shockwave of air came flying by the Azu-girls, followed by…

"OH. MY. GOD. What the hell is that smell?" Tomo asked, as she covered her nose and mouth with her hands.

All of the Azu-girls also covered their nose and mouth with their hands, also because they smelled that awful smell as well.

Except Kagura, who began to chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Yomi asked. "And why doesn't this smell bother you?"

"That's the evil that Joe wanted us to run from. He just had gas!" Kagura said, and laughed.

"Gas?" Everybody else asked.

"You know. He had to fart." Kagura said.

"My god, how can it smell this bad?" Yomi asked.

"Reminds me of the rotten meat I forgot about in my fridge" Osaka said.

"This is nothing. You should smell the beer and bratwurst farts that Heiko gets. Now those are nasty." Kagura said.

"I don't want to smell anything that's worse than this," Chiyo said.

Heiko had been knocked back by the sheer force that Joe had farted, but now Heiko stood back up, and he was laughing a hardy German laugh.

"So, this was evil? I know say I sorry for accusing you of bluff. I know farts can give bad stomach pains" Heiko said.

"You're not bothered by this?" Joe asked. He stood up, and his stomach cramps were gone.

"Nothing is bad as beer and bratwurst farts!" Heiko said.

Joe just laughed.

After the wind carried the smell away, the Azu-girls returned to where they had been standing.

"Where did that much…power come from?" Chiyo asked.

"hehe…Unlike most guys, I rarely ever fart." Joe said. "When I do though, you better watch out. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go eat something before something else happens"

And with that, Joe walked into his house.

"So, you guys want to go anywhere?" Kagura asked.

"Let's do some more shopping!" Tomo yelled as she threw a fist into the air.

Kagura asked Heiko if that was all right in German.

Heiko replied back.

"Heiko says that's fine" Kagura said.

"All right! More shopping!" Tomo yelled, as they all got into Kagura's vehicle (with Heiko driving) and went down to the mall.

Kamineko lay curled up on the tree branch. His tail twitched, and he growled. He was going to get that person back. That was his house, and only his.

Author's Notes: Many thanks to Wikipedia for supplying me with a German name that competed in the summer Olympics. Heiko is a real German that competed in the summer Olympics, but I supplied the personality and look for him. I have no idea what he's like in real life. XP
