Later that day it happened that CJ and Fujiko were left alone in the living room, while Jigen and Lupin went to join Goemon in training. CJ grinned at Fujiko, who gave her an odd look. "What's so funny?" "You have the hots for Jigen, don't you?" CJ asked, and Fujiko turned bright red. "How do you know?" she asked confused. "Can you do mind-reading, or what?" "No" CJ chuckled, "but it's hard not to recognise it. You practically have hearts in your eyes when you look at him." "But why isn't he recognising it then? If even you notice within one hour, why didn't Jigen notice within the months he is with us now?" Fujiko asked with a sad tone in her voice. "I don't know." CJ answered honestly. "Maybe you should go tell him." "What?" Fujiko freaked. "Are you nuts? I can't tell him! What if he rejects me?" CJ sighed. "I'll go talk to him. See you!" And before Fujiko could react, CJ jumped up and left the room. Fujiko just sighed.

Jigen carefully aimed at the dummy that stood in front of him when a scream of his new-found daughter broke his concentration: "Jigen!!!" The gunman was shocked and almost dropped his gun while spinning around. "CJ! Don't shock me like that!" "Sorry 'bout that. Jigen, I need to talk to you." Jigen went over to his daughter, eyeing her carefully. "Nice hat." he then said, and CJ giggled. "No wonder ya said that, you've got the same one." she then answered, and daughter and dad shared a short grinning moment. "I need to talk to you, Jigen." CJ then said. "Yeah? So do it." Jigen answered coolly. "Do you like Fujiko?" CJ asked bluntly, and Jigen turned bright red. "Like? Surely I like her." he then said. CJ grinned at her blushing dad. "You wanna sleep with her?" "What?? CJ!" Jigen called out, shocked. CJ looked at him innocent. "Yes, Jigen?" "Your mother should have given you a better education." Jigen demanded. "You have a very filthy mind." "Yeah, well, I guess that's from my genes. I'm a lot like my dad, you know." And with that, CJ turned and left, leaving Jigen with his mouth open.

Two hours later, Fujiko and CJ stood in the kitchen, making dinner. Much to Fujiko's dismay, CJ had absolutely no clue about cooking. "You give me more work than help!" Fujiko complained when CJ accidentally dropped the bowl with the onion in it, sending the vegetables rolling around in the kitchen. Lupin walked in without looking, stepped on one of the onions and ended up falling on the floor, rubbing his butt. "Ouch!" Both CJ and Fujiko started to laugh, and Lupin joined them. Jigen popped his head into the doorway. "What's going on here?" he asked grinning. "Lupin just stepped on an onion and fell." Fujiko managed to tell him between hysterical giggles. Meanwhile, CJ was sitting next to Lupin on the floor, holding her stomach and crying with laughter. Jigen just shook his head and vanished, only to crash into Goemon. Seeing that gave CJ the rest, she fell onto her back and laughed without making any sound. Her head turned bright red since she didn't breathe, and that caused Jigen to crack up. Goemon, being as reserved as ever, just shook his head and left again. Finally CJ calmed down and stood up again. "I need a cigarette now." She announced and skipped out of the kitchen into the living room, where Jigen sat on the comfy couch. "Hey Jigen," CJ said, sitting down in the chair opposite to the couch. "Hey CJ. Can I ask you something?" "Sure." CJ gave her dad a suspicious look. "Why won't you call me dad?" Jigen asked softly. CJ swallowed hard. "I guess I'm not ready for it now, Jigen. Sorry." The gunman just sighed. "It's okay. You haven't seen me for twenty years now." CJ stood up, walked over to her dad and patted his back. "I will call you dad, Jigen. Someday." She grinned and asked: "Wanna play dart now?"

"Dinner is ready!" Fujiko called out, and everyone dashed into the kitchen, taking a seat. "Yum yum!" CJ said when Fujiko put a plate down in front of her. She smelled and got a dreamy expression. "Wonderful." Being in dreamland, CJ didn't notice that Jigen put a lot of tobasco sauce on her food. "Hello earth to CJ." Lupin said when his friend had finished spoiling CJ's food. CJ snapped out of her dreamy stance and looked at him before grabbing her spoon and shoving a huge pile of food into her mouth. Jigen looked at her waiting, and he wasn't disappointed. Suddenly CJ's eyes got round and big, her face turned bright red. The others watched amused how CJ chewed and swallowed before screaming out loud: "Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooot!!!" Jigen, Fujiko and Lupin fell over laughing while Goemon just sighed at the childish behaviour of his friends. CJ dashed to the sink, turned the cold water on and started to drink like mad. When finally the "burn" was gone, CJ turned around and glared at Jigen. "J i g e n D a i s u k e ! ! !" She yelled angrily, and Jigen cowered. "It wasn't me." He tried to lie, but he couldn't convince his daughter. "Liar! Eat this!" CJ commanded, pointing on her plate. Jigen wanted to protest, but when he saw the flames in his daughters eyes, he obeyed her. Soon he was hanging over the sink too.
