None of the characters below belong to me... they belong to the great Rumiko
Takahashi. I don't take responsiblity for anyone who tries to fly like Lum or
Ten. So... what I'm trying to say is there's no reason to sue me. Thank you.

Truth in Lies
Chapter 1
"Moroboshi!" Mendo yelled and looked around. He was sure that he had
heard a girl's scream, and the only reason a girl would be screaming was if
Ataru had ambushed her.
Just then, Lum landed next to Mendo.
"Mendo! Do you know where Darling is?"
"Actually, I am searching for Moroboshi as well. Shall we look together,
Lum-Chan?"
"Sure!" Lum said happily, and began walking.
"Why is Lum-Chan so happy?" Mendo asked himself. "She should be steaming
mad with Moroboshi. What's going on?"
"Oh, Darling!" Lum called, with a very happy tone. "Where are you?"
"AHHHHH!" came a distant yell. Mendo turned on the spot and drew his sword.
"Stand back Lum-Chan! Who knows what monstrosities might be headed our
way?"
"AHHHHH!" came a much closer yell.
"Darling?" Lum nearly whispered.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" came a yell inches away. Ataru bursted
out from behind a bush, being chased by a chair-wielding Sakura.
"Come back here, you animal!" Sakura yelled.
"Darling!" Lum yelled and chased after them.
"What is going on?" Mendo wondered out loud.
"Hey! Psst! Mendo!" came a whisper.
"Who's there?"
"It's me, Ataru!"
"Moroboshi?" Mendo asked.
"Yeah!" came the whisper. "I'm hiding in the bush!"
"But I just saw you run by!"
"Yes and no," Ataru whispered. "Come here and I'll explain."
Mendo considered a moument, then crawled into the bush.
"Moroboshi, it is you!" Mendo said, astonished. There, sitting infront
of his very eyes was Ataru Moroboshi, first class moron and pervert.
"Yeah, it's me. Who were you expecting?" Ataru said, and looked around.
"Where's Lum?"
"She just chased after what I thought was you."
"Good. Okay." Ataru once again turned his head and looked in every direction.
"What are you looking for, Moroboshi?"
"Oh, anyone who might be watching us, especially that little brat Ten."
"Moroboshi, would you mind explaining what's going on?"
"Well, Mendo..." Ataru said, and finally quit looking around. "I have no clue."
"Then why did you make sure no one was spying if you don't know what's
going on?"
"Well... what I'm about to tell you is a complete secret. You can't repeat it,
and no matter what you can't get upset."
"Alright. Now, go on."
"You swear not to get mad?"
"I swear, Moroboshi, now go on!"
"I... I..."
"Quit stammering and get to the point!"
"... I think I'm in l-love with Lum."
Mendo stared, mouth agape at Ataru. He was deffinatly serious, and he
looked almost afraid of what might be coming. Mendo closed his mouth and began to speak.
"Well... I should have seen this coming. She's beautiful, and she seems
to have taking a liking to you... I guess I'll just forget about Lum and let you have her."
Ataru thought for a moument. Then he stood.
"That's really understanding of you, Mendo... infact, too understanding."
"What do you mean?" Mendo said, and stood as well.
"Who are you people and what have you done with my friends?"
"Moroboshi-"
"Don't 'Moroboshi'me, imposter! I don't know who you are, but I plan
to find out!"
"Moroboshi, quit talking nonsense!"
"Nonsense? NONSENSE? You come here, you pose as my friend... who are you
people?"
"Moroboshi-"
With that, Ataru pulled out a cleverly concealed frying pan and whacked
Mendo over the head with it. Mendo hit the ground with a thud.
"Like I said, I don't know who you are, but I plan to find out..."
Well, that's Chapter One to my Urusei Yatsura fanfic "Truth in Lies."
Please R and R, and stay tuned for Chapter 2!
