Surprises and Secrets
Location: Tendo Dojo
Open: Everybody is up and eating breakfast. Today there is no school because the school is still being fixed after the fight between Junko and Ukyo. Ranma and the others are talking about it.
Ranma: It's great there isn't any school today. Anyway, Junko, you have thought about starting to go to Furinkan High right?
Junko: Yes. I have thought about it. I'll start going when the school is fixed.
Ranma: Ok.
Ryoga: If Junko is going to start that school then I'm going too.
Ranma: (Looking at Ryoga) Why?
Ryoga: To protect Junko from the perverts there.
Ranma: (Laughs alittle) Good idea, Ryoga.
Junko: (Smiles) That's nice of you Ryoga.
Genma: (Alittle annoyed) Junko, would you be quiet? I'm trying to think.
Junko: (Being sarcastic) That's a first. I never knew you had a brain.
Ranma and Ryoga laugh.
Genma: (Alittle mad) You better take that back, girl.
Junko: Why should I? It's true.
Genma: (Mad) Junko, you stop that right now.
Junko: No. She makes a face at him.
Genma: (Really mad) That's it. Junko, I'm going to teach you lesson on how to respect your elders.
Genma gets up and tries to grab Junko. Junko moves. Genma chases Junko through the house.
Ryoga: Stop that old man, or I'm going to hurt you.
Genma doesn't listen. He keeps chasing Junko. Then a crashing noise is heard. Everybody pauses after the noise is heard.
Soun: What was that noise?
Junko comes back into the dining room with her head down.
Junko: I'm sorry Mr. Tendo. My uncle pushed me into on of the tables and a vase fell into the floor. It broke. I'm very sorry about that.
Soun: It's ok. It's not your fault, Junko. Genma is the one that pushed you. I'll make him pay me back for the vase.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you Mr. Tendo.
Genma comes into the dining room after he hears what Soun says.
Genma: I'm not paying for that vase. Junko ran into it. I didn't push her. Make her pay for it.
Junko is mad.
Soun: She wouldn't have ran into it if you were not chasing her around the house, Genma. So, you have to pay for it.
Genma: (Mad) Ok. I'll pay for it. (Looks at Junko) Get out of my sight.
Junko: (Mad) Ok, fine. I'm leaving.
Junko goes out the front doors.
Ryoga: (Really mad) Look what you did. You made Junko leave. I'm going to make you pay for that. (Genma sees Ryoga coming for him but can't move in time. Ryoga punches Genma hard. Genma is in pain.) That's what you get for hurting Junko's feelings.
Junko is walking away from the Tendo's. While she is walking she sees a girl with long purple hair, riding a bike. She stops.
Junko (Speaking to the girl on a bike) Hello.
The girl on the bike stops. She looks at Junko. The girl is Shampoo.
Shampoo: Nihou. Shampoo hasn't see girl before. Who are you?
Junko: (Smiles) My name is Junko Saotome.
Shampoo: (Surprised) What!? How girl have last name as Ranma?
Junko: You know my cousin. I'm staying with him right now.
Shampoo starts to get mad.
Shampoo: You staying with Ranma? Why?
Junko: Well, I don't have any place to stay at so Ranma is letting me stay at his place.
Shampoo: Why don't you leave, Ranma!
Junko: (Confused) What are you talking about?
Shampoo: Shampoo thinks you are going to take Ranma away.
Junko: I don't understand.
Shampoo: You trying to marry Ranma.
Junko: WHAT!? I'm not going to do that. What made you think of that?
Shampoo: You cousin to Ranma. Some cousins marry each other.
Junko: You are sick. I never heard of anything like that in my life. I'm going to go back to the Tendo's now.
Junko starts to walk away. Shampoo jumps off her bike and stops Junko.
Shampoo: Shampoo no let you go there.
Junko: Why?
Shampoo: Shampoo don't want you near Ranma.
Junko: Oh. That sick thought of yours again. I told you already, I'm not going to marry Ranma.
Shampoo: You lie. You try to take Ranma from Shampoo.
Junko: I'm not lying. Now let me pass.
Junko pushes Shampoo away.
Shampoo: Shampoo won't let you.
Shampoo starts to fight with Junko. Junko doesn't want to fight Shampoo so she dodges whatever Shampoo throws at her. Not far from there a guy is seen. He has long brown hair. Not brushed. With a black coat with a yellow shirt under it on. While he is walking he hears a fight going on.
Guy: What is that? I'll go see.
He walks in the direction of the fight. Then he gets to a wall. He climbs it. Then he sees the fight.
Guy: Hmm. Two girls are fighting. (Then he looks over to Junko. He is surprised.) Is that Junko Saotome? It has been a month since I last say her. What is she doing here? (He sees that she isn't fighting back.) Why isn't she fighting back? Is something wrong with her? (Then he looks over at Shampoo.) Huh? Is that an Amazon? What's an Amazon doing here? I better do something before that Amazon hurts Junko. (He gets out the staff he has with him.) I don't use this much but I'll just use it to knock some sense into that Amazon.
He throws it at Shampoo and it hits her in the head. Shampoo falls down and is out cold.
Junko: (Surprised) What happened? (She walks over to Shampoo and sees the staff.) Where did this come from? (She picks it up.) Wait a minute. I've seen this staff before.
The guy jumps down from the wall and walks up to Junko.
Guy: Hello Junko. I haven't seen you in awhile.
Junko turns around and looks at the guy.
Junko: (Smiles) I haven't seen you in awhile too, Kas. Thank you for helping me. Here's your staff.
Junko hands the staff to Kas.
Kas: (Taking the staff from Junko) That girl you were fighting was an Amazon. You could have got hurt fighting her.
Junko: I didn't start the fight. She did.
Kas: Amazons are like that. They always start fights. It was good I was here. What are you doing here?
Junko: I'm staying with my cousin.
Kas: Why?
Junko: Well, my father had an accident and I can't stay at my house anymore.
Kas: What kind of accident?
Junko: Someone pushed him off a cliff.
Kas: (Surprised) What!? Tell me who did this. I'll hunt them down and make them pay for this.
Junko: The guy's name is Akira. He mostly wears all black. He might have followed me here. I don't know where he is right now.
Kas: That's ok. I'll just stay around here and watch for him.
Junko: (Smiles) Okay. If you are going to be staying around here, why don't you stay at my cousin's place. We have room for one more.
Kas: I don't know.
Junko: Please, Kas. I want you to meet my cousin and the others. Please.
Kas: Okay, okay. I'll stay.
Junko: Thanks Kas. Follow me.
They walk toward the Tendo Dojo. When they get there Kas looks around.
Kas: This is a big house.
Junko: Yea it is. This is the Tendo Dojo. Come in.
They go in. They start to go toward the dining room. Everybody is in there.
Ranma: (Mad at Genma) Pop, why do you have to be like that to Junko? Why can't you be nice to her?
Genma: (Mad) Why do I have to be? I never liked her in the first place.
Ryoga: (Really mad at Genma) You better be nicer to her or I will beat the living hell out of you again. I don't like people who are nasty to Junko.
Outside of the dining room.
Kas: What is going on in there?
Junko: (Sighs) It's about my Uncle Genma. He said something nasty to me and I left the house because of it. (Mad) He makes me so mad. He has never been nice to me. I hate him. (Lighting up) Sorry about that. I get like that when I talk about him.
Kas: I might like to have a talk with your uncle later.
Junko: Come on Kas. Let's go into the dining room.
They both go in.
Junko: Hi everybody. I'm back.
Everyone turns around and looks at Junko.
Ranma and Ryoga together: Glad you're back, Junko.
Genma: (Mad) Why did you come back?
Junko: (Mad) Because I wanted to. And why don't you be nice, we have company.
Everyone looks at Kas.
Ranma: Who is this?
Kas: My name is Kas.
Ranma: (Laughing a little) Kas? What kind of name is that?
Kas: (Walks up to Ranma, mad) What do you mean by that?
Ranma: (Stops laughing and starts to sweat) I didn't mean anything. I just never heard that name before. That's all.
Kas: Better not laugh again about my name.
Ranma: (A little nervous) Ok. I won't.
Kas: Good.
Junko: Can Kas stay here for a while, please?
Ranma: (Looking at Kas then to Junko) Um…sure. He can stay here.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you, Ranma. Kas, I'll show you your room.
Kas follows Junko.
Kas: Do you practice here a lot, Junko?
Junko: Well, I haven't really practiced here yet.
Kas: Do you want to practice with me later?
Junko: Sure. I can do that now if you want. I don't have anything to do right now.
Kas: Okay.
Junko shows Kas his room and he finds out that he has to share it with Ranma, Genma, and Ryoga. He isn't too happy about it. Then they head for the dojo.
Junko: This is it. You want to start.
Kas: No, I don't normally start fights, I'll let you have the first attack.
Junko: Ok. Here I come!
Junko runs to Kas and attacks with her fist, but he simply dodged to the side. Junko was surprised as she whirled and renewed her attack. This time Kas simply grabbed her fist and spun around, sending her through the wall and back into the dining room. She crashed through the table and into the wall.
Kas: Oops. A little too hard, wasn't it?
Junko: (Getting up) I'm Ok. Don't worry! I can put up with a lot more than that.
Ryoga: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!
Kas: Oh, great. Please don't start.
Ryoga stands up.
Junko: Ryoga, don't.
Ryoga: I'm going to rip you apart, Kas!
Kas: Oh, please. You don't know how many Amazons have told me that before I smashed them.
Ryoga lunges at Kas.
Ryoga: Eat this!
Kas slid underneath his attack, and grabbed Ryoga's shoulders. Forcing him to do a face plant, Ryoga skidded into the other room.
Kas: (Sighs) As I said, don't even try, but do they listen, nooooo.
Junko: Did you have to hurt him that…
Shampoo: YOU! (Points at Junko) How you beat Shampoo so easy?
Junko: I didn't do it!
Shampoo: Yes, you did. Shampoo beat you now!
Kas: No, you won't.
Shampoo looks at Kas.
Kas: You have to beat me first, you stupid Amazon.
Shampoo: Who you?
Kas: (Pulls a gold medallion from under his yellow shirt) I am Amazon Hunter Kas! You will die!
Shampoo: Eek! Hunter! Shampoo hear of you! You hunt Amazons at Amazon Village! You beat Houng Shirtri, she Amazon Legend!
Kas: That would be me. Now, brace yourself! I held back last time because I don't want Junko to think I'm completely heartless. She may be my only friend in the world, but I won't hold off a second meeting!
Shampoo: Oh, you want fight. (Looks around and sees Ranma. She runs up to him and gets behind him.) Ranma protect Shampoo.
Ranma: SHAMPOO!
Kas: You are a coward! Quit hiding and fight me.
Ranma: Hey, Kas. Could you do this outside?
Shampoo: Ranma won't protect Shampoo?
Ranma: I don't really want to get into this fight.
Shampoo: (Mad at Ranma) Ranma coward. Shampoo going now.
Shampoo leaves. Kas starts to run after her when Junko grabs him by the arm.
Kas: (Stops and looks at Junko) Let go of me.
Junko: No, Kas. I don't want you to chase after her. If you really want to, do it without me knowing of it. Please?
Kas: (Doesn't move) Ok. I won't. But the next time I see her I'm going after her to finish her off, understand?
Junko: (Letting go of Kas' arm) I understand. Do you want to have dinner?
Kas: Not anymore. That stupid Amazon, they always manage to ruin my appetite. I think I'll go for a walk to let off my frustration instead. (Leaves)
Nabiki: What's with him?
Junko: I don't know. I'm going to see what it is.
Ryoga: What for? That guy is a weirdo. You don't need to talk to him. Stay here and forget about him.
Junko: (Going toward the door) I'm going to talk with him.
Ranma: Don't you want your dinner?
Junko: No. I'm not hungry. (She leaves)
She walks for awhile and sees Kas. She follows him. Kas stops walking.
Kas: (Without turning around) I know you are following me Junko. Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
Junko: Well, I couldn't help worrying. You left all of a sudden. I just want to talk like friends. (She walks up to Kas) So, what's bothering you?
Kas: Maybe I should fill you in on my past. I lived in Canada as a child, happy as can be. Back then I was considered human, couldn't be more happy to be with anyone. Then my family went on a vacation to China. (Kas bites his lip)
Junko: (Puts her hand on Kas' shoulder) I'm listening. Just like you did when I was trying to get over the shock of my father's death.
Kas: (Brushes her hand off) They came across the Amazon Village. The Amazon named Houng Hirutri had something against tourists or something, and killed them all. I hunted her down and (Spreads his hands), well you get the point. I've been the person you now see before you since.
Junko: (Stands quiet for awhile) I know how you feel. (Pause) After meeting that girl Shampoo, I now know they are heartless like what you said. (Looks up at the sky) It's starting to get dark. (Looks at Kas) I'm going back to the Tendo's house. If you want to come back with me, you can. But if you don't want to, I won't force you to come.
Kas: I had a place picked out already. Feel free to join me if you want. (Brightens up) Here, come with me. I'll show you where I'm staying.
Junko: Well, ok. I just need to tell everybody I'm going somewhere with you. I'll be right back.
Kas: Ok.
Junko walks off. She gets back to the Tendo Dojo and goes in. She goes to the dining room.
Ranma: Junko, your back. I was worried.
Ryoga: Me too. That Kas guy didn't do anything to you, did he?
Junko: (Smiles) No. Nothing bad happened. All we did is talk. I just came back to tell you that I'm going with Kas somewhere.
Ryoga: (Getting up) What? Why do you want to?
Junko: Because, Kas asked me if I wanted to come with him and I said yes.
Ryoga: I'm going to come with you then.
Junko: Ryoga, it's going to be fine. Nothing bad is going to happen. I'll see you all later.
Junko leaves.
Ryoga: I'm going to follow her. I'm not letting someone hurt her.
Ryoga leaves.
Ranma: Ryoga doesn't need to worry about her all the time. She can take care of herself.
Akane: That's true. Let's continue dinner, ok?
Ranma: Sure.
Everyone starts to eat dinner. Meanwhile, Junko comes back to Kas.
Junko: Ok, Kas. I told everybody I am going with you. So, what is this place you are going to?
Kas: You'll see when we get there.
Junko: Ok.
Kas and Junko walk off. Right behind them is Ryoga. Neither Kas nor Junko notice Ryoga.
Ryoga: (In his mind) He better not do anything to her or I'm going to tear him up!
Kas: (Walking) You know, you're the only friend I have right now. So, if you ever get into trouble with anyone at all while I'm around, I can and will beat them.
Junko: (Smiles) Thanks Kas. Just as long as you don't kill them while I'm there.
Kas: (Eyes darting all over) Uh, Junko? Can I tell you something, um, important?
Junko: (Looking at Kas) Sure. You can tell me anything. We're friends.
Ryoga: (In his mind) What's he up to? I like to know what he has to say that is important.
Ryoga is quiet and listens to what Kas and Junko are saying.
Kas: I, uh, um... (In head) Dammit! I can be blunt about it any other time! Why not now!? (To Junko) Uh, Junko, would you, I mean, uh, would you mind if I, gah! I can't get it out!
Junko notices that Kas is having a problem saying something.
Junko: (Worried) Kas, what's wrong?
Ryoga: (In his mind) What's wrong with him? Does he have a problem talking? He's acting like an idiot.
Kas: Arrrg! Junko! (Yelling) There is a reason why I'm here! J-Junko, (Very quietly) I-I love you... (Turns away fast)
Stunned silence
Junko: (Quiet for awhile then looks at Kas, blushing alittle) You love me? I don't know what to say. (Starting to blush more) I never had a guy come up to me and say that before.
Junko starts to get closer to Kas and smiles. Ryoga hears this.
Ryoga: (Surprised) What the…? He likes Junko? I don't know about this.
Ryoga starts to get closer and jumps toward a wall that is closer to them, but he misses. A splash is heard.
Junko: (Surprised by the noise) What's that? (Looking toward the wall) It sounds like there is somebody behind that wall.
Kas: (Looking toward the wall) There better not be. (An angry look comes up on his face.)
Junko: I'll go and see.
Junko walks toward the wall. Then she looks behind it. She sees a black pig with a bandana on.
Junko: (Surprised) Where did you come from? I haven't seen you in awhile.
Kas is surprised by what Junko says. Junko comes back from behind the wall.
Kas: Who was over there?
Junko: (Smiling) There wasn't a person behind there, just this pig. (In her arms was the black pig.) I met this pig on my trip here. (The pig sighs. She starts to cuddle it. Then she lefts him up to look at him face to face. The pig is alittle surprised.) (Talking to the pig) You are so cute. (Then she turns him around, where he can see Kas.) (To Kas) Isn't he cute?
The look on the pig's face changes. An angry look comes up on his face.
Kas: (Making an angry face back) When I see that thing, I see supper for very obvious reasons. However, he's yours so I won't go near him.
Junko: Well, now. Changing already, I see.
Junko moves the pig down alittle so, it's not in Kas' face.
Kas: Hey, I've never had these feelings for someone before. It's a whole new thing for me.
The pig looks at Kas and is mad about the eating comment. He starts to move and gets out of Junko's hands. Then he jumps at Kas, biting his nose.
Junko: (Surprised at what has happened) Oh, my. I don't know what has got into him.
Kas: (Yelling) Dammit! Pig! Your DEAD! (Kas grabs on to the pig and tosses him into a hot tub in someone's yard, across the wall.) Stupid pig.
A splash is heard
Junko: (Looking at Kas) You did have to be so mean to it. I'm going to go see if it is alright.
Junko starts to go toward the wall. On the other side of the wall Ryoga comes up.
Ryoga: (In his mind) What happened? (He hears Junko's voice saying that see is coming over to where he is. Then he looks down at himself.) Oh, no. I can't let Junko see me like this.
Ryoga starts to look around and sees his backpack near a tree, close to the pond he fell in earlier. He runs over there and gets some clothes. He gets dressed.
Junko: I'm going to get on this wall and look around for the pig.
Kas: I don't want to find that pig, after what that bastard did to my nose. If I do find it, I'm going to hurt it.
Junko: (Looking at Kas) Kas, I know you are mad at the pig but don't hurt it, please?
Kas: Okay, I won't.
Ryoga: (Hearing that Junko is about to jump on top of the wall) (In his mind) I better hid. (He looks at the tree near him.) I'll climb this tree.
Ryoga climbs up the tree without being seen.
Junko: (Getting on top of the wall) I don't see it. (She starts to call out to see if it would come out.) Here piggy. Here piggy, piggy.
Ryoga: (In his mind) First I'm called P-chan, now I'm being called piggy. This is so embarrassing.
Kas: (Getting on the wall) I don't see it. Let's just go on. I think it might find you later.
Junko: I'm going to look some more. (She jumps down from the wall and into the yard. She starts to walk around looking for the pig. Then see gets under the tree that Ryoga is hiding in.) I don't see it anywhere.
Ryoga: (In his mind) Junko, please don't look up. Please don't look up. (A creaking noise is heard.) What's that sound?
Junko: (Hearing the creaking sound) What's that?
Junko starts to look around.
Kas: There might be someone near by.
Kas looks around too. Ryoga hears the sound again, but much louder. He looks down and sees the branch that he is standing on is giving way.
Ryoga: (In his mind) This is not good.
Then the branch breaks. The branch and Ryoga fall. Junko sees the branch coming at her and lets out a scream. Kas turns around to see dust.
Kas: Junko! Junko, where are you?
Kas runs up to where the dust is. The dust starts to clear. When the dust has cleared away, Kas sees the branch to the right of Junko. Then he looks over at Junko. The look on Kas' face changes. When the branch fell, Junko fell backwards onto her back. Ryoga fell on top of her. Ryoga starts to wake up, and sees that he is on top of Junko. He moves away from her, and has his back to the tree. Junko starts to get up.
Junko: (Looks at Ryoga, surprised) Ryoga, where did you come from?
Ryoga: Well, you see…I…um…(In his mind) What can I say to her? I can't tell her that I was following her and Kas.
Kas: (Politely turned away) You know, if you're gonna spy on her, try and do so with a little decency. I may not have been in school since I was 10, but it doesn't take an idiot to find out what you were doing.
Ryoga: Uh, Junko, I didn't mean anything, honest!
Kas bats him upside the head with his staff
Kas: Baka. Get out of my sight.
Ryoga: (Standing up) No!
Kas: Do you want another beating? I'll gladly deal one out to prove to all I'm not afraid to use force!
Ryoga: Ok. I'll fight you.
Junko: Stop it! I don't want you two fighting.
Ryoga starts to come at Kas. Kas stands his ground. When Ryoga is close enough to hit Kas, Kas starts to move to block. Before anything can happen, Junko gets in-between them and pushes them back from each other.
Junko: (Alittle mad) I don't want you fighting each other! (She starts to calm down and looks at Ryoga.) Ryoga, can we talk?
Ryoga: Sure, Junko.
Junko: (Looking at Kas) I'm going to go have a word with Ryoga. I'll be right back.
Kas is quiet. Junko and Ryoga walk off. They don't go to far.
Ryoga: Junko, I'm sorry about this. I didn't mean to follow you.
Junko: Why were you?
Ryoga: Ok I'll tell you. I can't keep secrets from you. Well, I followed you because of Kas. I don't really trust him. I thought he might do something bad to you. I don't want that to happen. You're like a sister to me.
Junko: That's why you followed us. Did you hear what we were talking about?
Ryoga: (Sighs) Sorry but yes. I did hear what Kas told you. I'm sorry for eavesdropping
Junko: That's ok. Don't worry about me, Ryoga. Kas won't do anything to me. (She turns away, then looks back at Ryoga.) I did forget to ask you something. Did you see a little black pig? I'm looking for it.
Ryoga: (He looks down) Yes, I did see it and I know where it is.
Junko: (Smiling) That's great. Where is it?
Ryoga: (Looking at Junko) Right here.
Junko: (Confused) I don't see it here. What do you mean?
Ryoga: Well, what I mean is that…(Quietly) I'm the pig.
Junko: (Still confused) I don't understand.
Ryoga: I'm the pig you are looking for. I should of told you this before. I been to China and went to Jusenkyo. I fell into one of the ponds. That pig you saw is my curse.
Ryoga looks down.
Junko (Very surprised) Oh! Ryoga, that's terrible. I'm so sorry for what I have done with you when you were the pig.
Ryoga: (Looking at Junko) Don't worry about it Junko. Things like that happen. I'm going to go back to the Tendo's. I'm still sorry about following you and Kas.
Junko: (Smiles) Ok, Ryoga. I'll see you back at the Tendo's later.
Ryoga leaves. Junko walks back to where Kas is.
Junko: I had a talk with him. He told me why he was following us. He didn't stay too long. He went back home.
Kas: Uh, ok. I need to talk to you. Uh, Junko, would you mind if um, if you come to a little restaurant I found the other day?
Junko: (Walking up to him) Sure, I would love to.
Junko is now right next to him.
Kas: (Is visibly unnerved) Uhhhhh, Ok! It's called the Cat Cafe. A ramen shop actually.
They start walking.
---Time passes---
Junko and Kas are standing in front of the shop. Kas takes a deep breath and starts to walk up to the door when two little blurs land next to him and Junko.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: Hunter! We kill you for what you do to older sister Houng!
Junko: (Surprised) What now? Can stuff like this happen when I'm not around, please? (Gets closer to Kas) Kas, what are going to do?
Kas: I let you two live for a reason. You are young; you still have a chance to denounce your Amazon heritage. But it seems to me that you both have a death wish. (Looks at Junko) This is an unavoidable fight. I'm sorry Junko. Stand back because things are about to get ugly.
Kas draws his staff and faces the little amazons, who are visibly unnerved. And Junko steps back. In hopes of a surprise attack, both Lin-Lin and Lun- Lun charge. Kas blocked both attacks with the ends of his staff then using the upper end of the staff, hooks Lin-Lin's pitchfork and pulls it from her hands. Kas jumped over Lun-Lun's attack and landed some distance behind her.
Junko: (Alittle scared) Kas be careful. I don't want you to get hurt. (She moves away some more to let Kas have more room to move.) (In her mind) I would like to help Kas fight this Amazons, but I don't know what to do.
Lin-Lin: Hey! Girl! Why you with Hunter? He dangerous person!
Kas: I'm dangerous to those I hate, ya stupid Amazon! Learn what my personality is before you judge it! Here's your stupid pitchfork back. Now get out of my sight! (Tosses pitchfork at Lin-Lin)
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: No! We beat and avenge big sister Houng.
Kas: Your funeral.
The twins leaped into the air just as Shampoo came in from behind Kas. Thing was, he didn't know Shampoo was there.
Junko: (Looking over to where Kas is) Oh, no. Not her again.
Shampoo: What noise? (She looks up and sees Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun.) (In her mind) Why they here? (Then she turns and sees Kas.) That why. That hunter again. (To Kas) Hey, you. What you do in front of Shampoo's restaurant?
Kas: (Whirled and spotted Shampoo. Instantly, he was defensive.) I was going to treat Junko to a meal here, but not now. (To Junko) I'm gonna need your help. Those twins will kill you so I'll handle the little horrors. I hope you can just hold the big one back until I can help you. Is that ok?
Junko: (Looking at Kas) Okay. I can handle it. (To Shampoo) Hey, you. Come and get me.
Junko makes a face at Shampoo.
Shampoo: (Mad) Why you. Shampoo make you pay.
Shampoo runs at Junko. When Shampoo is close to Junko she tries to kick her, but Junko jumps over the kick. Junko jumps on top of a wall.
Junko: Come on. Can you do better then that?
Shampoo: Girl in big trouble.
Shampoo jumps up on the wall. Junko starts running on the wall.
Junko: Come and catch me.
Shampoo runs after her. Then Junko stops running, because she was at the edge of the wall. Shampoo is right behind her. Junko turns around but Shampoo gets a kick in before she can dodge it. Junko starts to lose her balance on the wall and starts to fall backwards. But before she starts falling she sends a kick at Shampoo, making her fall off the other side of the wall. A splash is heard, on the side that Junko fall. Shampoo gets up off the ground and starts to get back on top of the wall to look for Junko. Junko-kun gets out of the water. Junko-kun looks up and sees Shampoo, then jumps up on the wall. Shampoo turns and is about to kick again when she got a good look at Junko-kun.
Shampoo: (Happy) Ranma. Why you here? Shampoo happy you here.
Shampoo goes over there and starts hugging Junko-kun.
Junko-kun: (Embarrassed) Could you not hug me please.
Shampoo: Why Ranma? You help Shampoo fight bad man over there. (Pointing at Kas)
Junko-kun: …
Before Junko-kun can say anything, Shampoo drags him over to where Kas is. Kas is still fighting Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun.
Shampoo: (To Kas) Hey, bad man. You in trouble now. Girl that was with you is gone. Now you alone. Ranma, come to help Shampoo. (To Junko-kun) Right Ranma? (Hugging his arm)
Junko-kun: (More embarrassed) …
Kas: (Blocks hit from the pitchfork) Dammit! Junko! Help!
Kas whirls and smashes Junko-kun in the head with his foot. He flies back a few feet and Kas returned his full attention to the twins. He brought his staff down lightly on top of Lun-Lun's skull and knocked her unconscious, then ducked really fast as Shampoo made a flying kick at the back of his head. She kept going and into the restaurant. Kas kicked Lin-Lin in the side and she landed on top of Lun-Lun.
Kas: (Turning to find the guy that he smashed in the face) Where are you? I ain't done yet!
*Splash* Kas was hit with a bucket of water from behind. A distinctly female "eek" was heard and Kas jumped on top of the building and ran to the other side. Junko-kun heard the scream but didn't get up.
Junko-kun: (In his mind) Why did Kas have to kick me so damn hard?
Junko-kun gets up and looks around. He sees the twins are out cold. Then he starts to go toward the restaurant. Shampoo comes out and sees him.
Shampoo: Where bad man go? (Sees Junko-kun) Ranma, are you alright?
Shampoo gives Junko-kun a hug.
Junko-kun: Yea, I'm alright. Could you not hug me.
Shampoo: (Looking at Junko-kun) You hurt? Shampoo sorry for hurting Ranma. (She starts looking around.) Shampoo can't find bad man. You know where he go?
Junko-kun: No. I'm going to go look for him. You go back in the restaurant, ok?
Shampoo: Ok, Ranma. Shampoo do. (She starts to go in but then looks at Junko-kun.) Wait Ranma. Before you go, Shampoo have ramen for you. (Shampoo goes back in and comes back out with a bowl of ramen soup. She hands it to Junko-kun.) You eat when looking for bad man. So you later, Ranma.
Junko-kun is quiet. Shampoo goes back into the restaurant. Junko-kun looks at the bowl of ramen soup.
Junko-kun: I was going to go some place to eat with Kas. But, I'm getting really hungry now. (Junko-kun eats the ramen fast and all that is left in the bowl was some hot water. He puts the bowl down.) Now I'm going to look for Kas. (He jumps on top of the Cat Café and looks around, then starts yelling.) Kas! Kas, where are you? I just want to talk with you. I forgive you for kicking me so hard in the head. Please come out. (He doesn't see a thing. He jumps down from the roof to the ground. A sad look comes up on his face.) Why did he go?
Junko-kun looks over to where Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun are. They are starting to move.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: Where bad man go?
Junko-kun: He left.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: (Looking at Junko-kun) Ranma!
They go over the Junko-kun and start hugging him.
Junko-kun: Would you not hug me.
Lin-Lin: Why Ranma?
Junko-kun: (Thinking of a lie) Well…I don't feel like it. Anyway, that guy you were fighting is gone. Why don't you two go home now.
Lun-Lun: If you beat bad man, then we go home. Bye Ranma.
Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun leave.
Junko-kun: (Relieved) Good, they are gone now. (Starts looking around) No one is watching me.
Junko-kun gets the bowl and pours some of the hot water on himself. She is back to herself.
Junko: Now I'm going to look for Kas again. (She gets back on top of the Cat Café again and starts to yell.) Kas, It's me Junko. Where are you? Please come back. (She sits down and looks down at her feet.) Why did he leave me all alone here?
A tear starts to go down her cheek. A hand falls on Junko's shoulder. She turned and found herself face to face with another Amazon. This Amazon had long brown hair like Kas', only combed. She wore a tight fitting black top that had a red Maple Leaf on the left breast. Her pants were black and baggy.
Amazon: Why Junko so sad?
Junko was stunned! This Amazon knew her by name! Junko was on her feet in a flash.
Junko: H-How do you know my name!? I've never met you before!
Amazon: It Kas. This another secret Kas keep from you. Junko call Amazon- half Red, ok?
Junko just stared, stunned.
Red: (Laughing) Junko too easy to amaze.
Junko belted Red upside the head and she shut up fast. Red stood there in obvious shock.
Junko: THAT was for making me cry!
Red didn't move. Then her eyes did the strangest thing: they turned red! She jumped off the side of the building and landed in front of the Ramen- shop. A few shouts, a crash, and finally Shampoo flew out the front door, and landed gracefully on her feet.
Shampoo: What Amazon sister want with Shampoo?
Red: (In pissed voice) Your life!
Junko looked down and saw Red with Shampoo. She didn't know what was going to happen.
Junko: (Wiping a tear from her face) I hope nothing bad happens.
Shampoo gracefully dodged the deadly blow from Red.
Red: DIE stupid Amazon!
Shampoo: (Thinking) Where Shampoo here that before? (Realizing it) That no Amazon! That Hunter! But how he turn to sister Amazon all of sudden?
Red: (Calming down a bit, realizing that this approach won't get her nowhere) Mmmmm, this taking too long. Red beat you in different fashion. (Takes a defensive stance)
Shampoo attacks, taking the bait. Red kicked Shampoo hard in the stomach, then followed up with an elbow in the side of the head. Shampoo flew a few feet and landed face first on the ground. She looked up with her sight hazed with pain, a gash bleeding freely. From out of nowhere Red pulled up a kettle of water and then poured it on herself, turning into Kas. As she changed to a he, the clothes changed back to his other style.
Kas: (Eyes burning intense red and holding a hunting knife menacingly) Now I will finish what I started a few hours ago.
Junko looks down at Kas again and sees that he is himself, not Red. Then she sees the hunting knife in Kas' hands. She wants to turn away and not watch this but she can't.
Junko: (Quietly to herself) This is all my fault. I shouldn't of belted him like that. Because of that he's mad. I should go down there and apologize to him. (She looks down at Shampoo. She sees the Shampoo can't move very well.0 Kas is going to kill her. I don't think I can do anything about it. (Then a thought came up) I got an idea.
Junko jumps down from the roof and lands close to Kas. She walks up to him.
Junko: Kas. I came to apologize for what I did to you on the roof. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me.
Kas: (Surprised) W-what?
Junko: I'm apologizing for what I did on the roof. If you need proof, here it is.
Junko hugs Kas, who get the most unlikely face on. He began to sweat, nervous as all hell.
Kas: Um, I, ah, apology accepted. I guess.
Shampoo in the meantime stood up and looked at Kas with a new look on her face: fear.
Shampoo: (In her mind) Shampoo better get out of here. Hunter close to killing Shampoo.
Shampoo quietly runs off without anybody seeing her.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you Kas. Can we go somewhere else? I don't like this place.
Kas: Lets. I have no intentions to stick around here anymore.
Kas picks her up and holds her in his arms for a moment, not wanting to move. After a minute or two, he jumped on top of the stonewall and made grand leaps from building to building with Junko in his arms.
Kas: Where to? You name it, I'll pay for it.
Junko: (Blushing and smiling) Well, I don't really know this place that much. So I don't know where restaurants are around here. There is one that my cousin showed me. It's an okonomiyaki restaurant. It's very good.
Kas: Mm. What ever you say goes.
Kas follows Junko's directions and eventually find themselves in front of a small shop. Kas sniffs the air.
Junko: What do you smell?
Kas: Something that isn't very good to smell. Amazons and steel make a very distinct smell at close quarters.
Kas grunts as he jumped very hard. Right where they were, a knife hit the ground.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: DIE HUNTER!!
Junko: (Sighing) Not those two again. I thought I told them to go home. I saw them leave. They must of not listened to me. (Sighing again) Kas, do you know a way to get them off our backs?
Kas shook his head.
Kas: Nope. Other than kicking their heads in, no.
Kas dodged to the left, then the right. Every time with Junko in his arms.
Kas: Piss off Amazon!
Junko: (To Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun) Why don't you two go home?
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: (To Junko) You no tell us what to do. We stay until Hunter die. If you get in way, we kill you too.
Junko is shocked.
Kas: WHAT!?!
Junko: ...
Kas: (Shaking with rage) You, you stupid amazons. (Obviously trying to keep calm) You will die for even thinking about harming Junko! You're just lucky I have no intentions of putting her down!
Junko: (Shocked at Kas' protectiveness then starts to blush) Kas, that's sweet of you. I feel safe with you.
Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun look at each other then look back at Kas
Lun-Lun: We have idea. We make you drop her. Right Lin-Lin?
Lin-Lin: (Nodding) Yes. Here we come, Hunter.
Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun run at Kas.
Kas: Catch me if you can! (Kas begins to leap from rooftop to rooftop, the Amazons close behind. After a minute of this, Kas' strength begins to wan.) (Thinking) I can't keep this up! (Notices he is near the park where he found his newest home) That's it! I'll lose them in that little underground passageway! I'll probably get lost myself, but with Junko here...
Kas: I have an idea! (Quickly explains his plan) What do you think?
Junko: Sounds like a good idea. Go for it. I trust you.
Kas: At least someone does.
Kas leaps into the park and runs as fast as possible to the other end of the room. It was large and circular, with roots of trees coming out of the ceiling. He ran at full speed down one corridor and the Amazons followed. They all emerge in a dead end.
Kas: Crap. Well, I guess we stand and fight here.
Very reluctantly, he puts Junko down. Both Kas and Junko assume a fighting stance.
Junko: (To Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun) Ok. You want to fight. Then come at me.
Lin-Lin: Girl want to fight us. Then girl die with Hunter. (Looking at Lun- Lun) You fight girl. I fight Hunter.
Lun-Lun: Ok.
Lun-Lun runs at Junko and tries to hit her but Junko moves out of the way and kicks her hard. Lin-Lin gets her pitchfork and starts to come at Kas with it. Kas whipped out his staff and smashed Lin-Lin's hand, making her drop the pitchfork. Kas drew his knife and made an arc towards her throat. Junko turns to see Kas with he's knife again. She starts to go over to Kas. Lun-Lun starts to get up and sees that Junko has her back to her.
Lun-Lun: (In her mind) This good. I can get her now.
Lun-Lun quickly gets up and jumps at Junko. Junko doesn't have time to react to it. Lun-Lun kicks Junko. Junko falls to the ground from the kick. Lun-Lun lands on top of Junko.
Lun-Lun: Now girl die.
Kas heard Junko gasp as a thud sounded off. Kas turned and saw Lun-Lun raising her weapon to deal a killing blow. Kas chucked his staff like a javelin at her and it smacked her in the face. Lun-Lun fell back, unconscious and bleeding. Lin-Lin on the other hand, got up and screeched a war cry and lunges at Kas. Kas turns in time to see her fist come square into his face. He fell backwards and she fell on top of him. He got a murderous glint in his eye and brought his knee into her stomach, knocking the wind out of her. In the meantime, Junko had gotten up and watched Lin- Lin fight Kas with near surprise.
Junko: (Smiling) Thanks Kas, for getting her off me. (The smile on her face goes) Do you need any help?
Kas grabbed Lin-Lin by the back of her neck and threw her into the wall.
Kas: Nope. Everything's under control. Shall we leave now?
Junko: (Nods) Yes. She walks up to Kas and puts her arms around his right arm. Let's leave.
Kas: Heh heh. I still can't believe you like me as well!
Kas and Junko walk out of the little underground place. Junko notices that it is getting late.
Junko: It's a little dark. I have to get home.
Kas: That's no problem; I'll walk you there.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you Kas. (They get to the Tendo Dojo.) Well, we are here. I'll be going in now. I would like it if you could stay here, but I know you have a place to stay already. I'll see you tomorrow.
Junko moves away from Kas to the door of the Tendo's. Then she looks around. Then looks at Kas. She walks up to him and lightly kisses him on the cheek. She walks away and goes into the house. Kas just stood there for a minute after she went in. He touched his cheek where she kissed him and suddenly came back to reality.
Kas: Junko! Wait! I want to stay with you!
Kas leaped over the fence and landed in front of Junko.
Junko: You do?
Kas: I do.
Junko: (Smiling) That's great. Come on in.
Kas and Junko walk in and go toward the dining room. At the table, Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane are talking.
Ryoga: Where is she? I thought she would be back by now. I hope nothing bad happened to her.
Ranma: (Looking at Ryoga) Don't worry. She'll be back.
Akane: Yea Ryoga. She'll be alright.
Junko comes into the dining room with Kas behind her.
Junko: Hi everybody. I'm back.
Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane all look at Junko.
Ryoga: Junko, where have you been? I was worried.
Junko: Just walking around with Kas. We had a fun time.
Ranma: Now we can put our troubles behind us. I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
Ranma leaves.
Akane: Me too. Goodnight.
Akane leaves.
Ryoga: (Getting up) Junko, don't worry me like that. I thought something bad happened to you.
Junko: Nothing bad happened. Kas is with me.
Ryoga: Ok. If you say so. I'm going to bed. (He starts to leave. When he gets close to Kas he gives him a nasty look, then starts to walk pass him. He stops.) Oh, one more thing. You better not sneak into Junko's room when she is asleep. Get me?
Ryoga walks off.
Kas: (Gets innocent look on his face) Don't plan on it. (Quietly so no one can hear it) Yet.
Junko: Sit down.
Kas: (Sitting down, reluctantly) Um, Junko? Can I ask you a question?
Junko: (Smiles) Go ahead.
Kas: (Standing up and walking towards her) Uh, this... (Kisses her full on the lips)
Junko is very surprised. She stays still for awhile. Then she moves her arms and puts them around Kas. After a min, she moves her lips away from Kas'.
Junko: (Blushing) That was my first kiss. I'm glad that my first kiss was with you.
Kas: (Still seeing stars) Wow... I-I'm glad that my first kiss was with you too.
Little did they know, but Ryoga was watching them.
Ryoga: (Thinking) N-nani!?! (Out loud) KAS!!!! YOUR DEAD!!!!
Kas: Uh, oh!
Junko: (Mad) Ryoga! I can't believe this. First you follow us. Now you're spying on us. Why are you doing this?
Junko moves her arms and puts them to her sides.
Ryoga: (To Junko) I don't trust this pervert. (Pointing at Kas) There are alot more guys that are better then this guy. (To Kas) Why don't you leave? I don't want to see your face around here ever again.
Junko: Ryoga!
Kas: What? Leave her? (Looks at Junko) Junko. Let me handle this. I'm going to try a slightly different approach to this. I gots me an idea.
Junko: (To Kas) Ok Kas. Just don't hurt him, please.
Ryoga: (To Kas) I like to hear this idea of yours.
Kas grabs Ryoga by the arm and drags him around the corner.
Kas: (Quietly) Look, I am here for one purpose only, and that is to marry Junko. You know what? While I was gone from her side for that month, I bought out Junko's old home. I want to surprise her with it, but idiots like you keep getting in the way. You try to interfere again, and you will find yourself short the equipment to keep your family line going. Got it?
Ryoga was quiet for awhile.
Ryoga: (Quietly) Marry her? Ain't you going to fast? What if she isn't ready for that? (Sighs and pauses) Well, ok. I'll get out of your way. Just don't do anything to upset her. She's like a sister to me.
Ryoga walks into the dining room.
Junko: So what happened?
Ryoga: We just talked. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight.
Junko: Goodnight Ryoga.
Ryoga walks off and a door is heard closing. Junko walks around the corner to see Kas.
Junko: So you had a nice talk with Ryoga. That's nice. I'm going to bed now. (She starts thinking then looks at Kas.) Well, you might not want to share the same room as Ryoga, Ranma, and my uncle Genma. You can sleep on the couch if that's ok with you?
Kas: Mm, no, I'll be fine. I'll sleep right here in the dining room. I won't disturb anyone here. G'night!
Junko: (Smiling) Ok. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight.
Junko walks off and goes to her room. She puts on her nightgown and gets in bed. She goes to sleep. While Junko went to sleep, Kas sat down on the little porch and whispered to himself.
Kas: Today wasn't the best day. Tomorrow, I'll do something special with Junko.
Kas gets up and finds a nice place in the dining room to sleep. He goes to sleep.
End
Location: Tendo Dojo
Open: Everybody is up and eating breakfast. Today there is no school because the school is still being fixed after the fight between Junko and Ukyo. Ranma and the others are talking about it.
Ranma: It's great there isn't any school today. Anyway, Junko, you have thought about starting to go to Furinkan High right?
Junko: Yes. I have thought about it. I'll start going when the school is fixed.
Ranma: Ok.
Ryoga: If Junko is going to start that school then I'm going too.
Ranma: (Looking at Ryoga) Why?
Ryoga: To protect Junko from the perverts there.
Ranma: (Laughs alittle) Good idea, Ryoga.
Junko: (Smiles) That's nice of you Ryoga.
Genma: (Alittle annoyed) Junko, would you be quiet? I'm trying to think.
Junko: (Being sarcastic) That's a first. I never knew you had a brain.
Ranma and Ryoga laugh.
Genma: (Alittle mad) You better take that back, girl.
Junko: Why should I? It's true.
Genma: (Mad) Junko, you stop that right now.
Junko: No. She makes a face at him.
Genma: (Really mad) That's it. Junko, I'm going to teach you lesson on how to respect your elders.
Genma gets up and tries to grab Junko. Junko moves. Genma chases Junko through the house.
Ryoga: Stop that old man, or I'm going to hurt you.
Genma doesn't listen. He keeps chasing Junko. Then a crashing noise is heard. Everybody pauses after the noise is heard.
Soun: What was that noise?
Junko comes back into the dining room with her head down.
Junko: I'm sorry Mr. Tendo. My uncle pushed me into on of the tables and a vase fell into the floor. It broke. I'm very sorry about that.
Soun: It's ok. It's not your fault, Junko. Genma is the one that pushed you. I'll make him pay me back for the vase.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you Mr. Tendo.
Genma comes into the dining room after he hears what Soun says.
Genma: I'm not paying for that vase. Junko ran into it. I didn't push her. Make her pay for it.
Junko is mad.
Soun: She wouldn't have ran into it if you were not chasing her around the house, Genma. So, you have to pay for it.
Genma: (Mad) Ok. I'll pay for it. (Looks at Junko) Get out of my sight.
Junko: (Mad) Ok, fine. I'm leaving.
Junko goes out the front doors.
Ryoga: (Really mad) Look what you did. You made Junko leave. I'm going to make you pay for that. (Genma sees Ryoga coming for him but can't move in time. Ryoga punches Genma hard. Genma is in pain.) That's what you get for hurting Junko's feelings.
Junko is walking away from the Tendo's. While she is walking she sees a girl with long purple hair, riding a bike. She stops.
Junko (Speaking to the girl on a bike) Hello.
The girl on the bike stops. She looks at Junko. The girl is Shampoo.
Shampoo: Nihou. Shampoo hasn't see girl before. Who are you?
Junko: (Smiles) My name is Junko Saotome.
Shampoo: (Surprised) What!? How girl have last name as Ranma?
Junko: You know my cousin. I'm staying with him right now.
Shampoo starts to get mad.
Shampoo: You staying with Ranma? Why?
Junko: Well, I don't have any place to stay at so Ranma is letting me stay at his place.
Shampoo: Why don't you leave, Ranma!
Junko: (Confused) What are you talking about?
Shampoo: Shampoo thinks you are going to take Ranma away.
Junko: I don't understand.
Shampoo: You trying to marry Ranma.
Junko: WHAT!? I'm not going to do that. What made you think of that?
Shampoo: You cousin to Ranma. Some cousins marry each other.
Junko: You are sick. I never heard of anything like that in my life. I'm going to go back to the Tendo's now.
Junko starts to walk away. Shampoo jumps off her bike and stops Junko.
Shampoo: Shampoo no let you go there.
Junko: Why?
Shampoo: Shampoo don't want you near Ranma.
Junko: Oh. That sick thought of yours again. I told you already, I'm not going to marry Ranma.
Shampoo: You lie. You try to take Ranma from Shampoo.
Junko: I'm not lying. Now let me pass.
Junko pushes Shampoo away.
Shampoo: Shampoo won't let you.
Shampoo starts to fight with Junko. Junko doesn't want to fight Shampoo so she dodges whatever Shampoo throws at her. Not far from there a guy is seen. He has long brown hair. Not brushed. With a black coat with a yellow shirt under it on. While he is walking he hears a fight going on.
Guy: What is that? I'll go see.
He walks in the direction of the fight. Then he gets to a wall. He climbs it. Then he sees the fight.
Guy: Hmm. Two girls are fighting. (Then he looks over to Junko. He is surprised.) Is that Junko Saotome? It has been a month since I last say her. What is she doing here? (He sees that she isn't fighting back.) Why isn't she fighting back? Is something wrong with her? (Then he looks over at Shampoo.) Huh? Is that an Amazon? What's an Amazon doing here? I better do something before that Amazon hurts Junko. (He gets out the staff he has with him.) I don't use this much but I'll just use it to knock some sense into that Amazon.
He throws it at Shampoo and it hits her in the head. Shampoo falls down and is out cold.
Junko: (Surprised) What happened? (She walks over to Shampoo and sees the staff.) Where did this come from? (She picks it up.) Wait a minute. I've seen this staff before.
The guy jumps down from the wall and walks up to Junko.
Guy: Hello Junko. I haven't seen you in awhile.
Junko turns around and looks at the guy.
Junko: (Smiles) I haven't seen you in awhile too, Kas. Thank you for helping me. Here's your staff.
Junko hands the staff to Kas.
Kas: (Taking the staff from Junko) That girl you were fighting was an Amazon. You could have got hurt fighting her.
Junko: I didn't start the fight. She did.
Kas: Amazons are like that. They always start fights. It was good I was here. What are you doing here?
Junko: I'm staying with my cousin.
Kas: Why?
Junko: Well, my father had an accident and I can't stay at my house anymore.
Kas: What kind of accident?
Junko: Someone pushed him off a cliff.
Kas: (Surprised) What!? Tell me who did this. I'll hunt them down and make them pay for this.
Junko: The guy's name is Akira. He mostly wears all black. He might have followed me here. I don't know where he is right now.
Kas: That's ok. I'll just stay around here and watch for him.
Junko: (Smiles) Okay. If you are going to be staying around here, why don't you stay at my cousin's place. We have room for one more.
Kas: I don't know.
Junko: Please, Kas. I want you to meet my cousin and the others. Please.
Kas: Okay, okay. I'll stay.
Junko: Thanks Kas. Follow me.
They walk toward the Tendo Dojo. When they get there Kas looks around.
Kas: This is a big house.
Junko: Yea it is. This is the Tendo Dojo. Come in.
They go in. They start to go toward the dining room. Everybody is in there.
Ranma: (Mad at Genma) Pop, why do you have to be like that to Junko? Why can't you be nice to her?
Genma: (Mad) Why do I have to be? I never liked her in the first place.
Ryoga: (Really mad at Genma) You better be nicer to her or I will beat the living hell out of you again. I don't like people who are nasty to Junko.
Outside of the dining room.
Kas: What is going on in there?
Junko: (Sighs) It's about my Uncle Genma. He said something nasty to me and I left the house because of it. (Mad) He makes me so mad. He has never been nice to me. I hate him. (Lighting up) Sorry about that. I get like that when I talk about him.
Kas: I might like to have a talk with your uncle later.
Junko: Come on Kas. Let's go into the dining room.
They both go in.
Junko: Hi everybody. I'm back.
Everyone turns around and looks at Junko.
Ranma and Ryoga together: Glad you're back, Junko.
Genma: (Mad) Why did you come back?
Junko: (Mad) Because I wanted to. And why don't you be nice, we have company.
Everyone looks at Kas.
Ranma: Who is this?
Kas: My name is Kas.
Ranma: (Laughing a little) Kas? What kind of name is that?
Kas: (Walks up to Ranma, mad) What do you mean by that?
Ranma: (Stops laughing and starts to sweat) I didn't mean anything. I just never heard that name before. That's all.
Kas: Better not laugh again about my name.
Ranma: (A little nervous) Ok. I won't.
Kas: Good.
Junko: Can Kas stay here for a while, please?
Ranma: (Looking at Kas then to Junko) Um…sure. He can stay here.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you, Ranma. Kas, I'll show you your room.
Kas follows Junko.
Kas: Do you practice here a lot, Junko?
Junko: Well, I haven't really practiced here yet.
Kas: Do you want to practice with me later?
Junko: Sure. I can do that now if you want. I don't have anything to do right now.
Kas: Okay.
Junko shows Kas his room and he finds out that he has to share it with Ranma, Genma, and Ryoga. He isn't too happy about it. Then they head for the dojo.
Junko: This is it. You want to start.
Kas: No, I don't normally start fights, I'll let you have the first attack.
Junko: Ok. Here I come!
Junko runs to Kas and attacks with her fist, but he simply dodged to the side. Junko was surprised as she whirled and renewed her attack. This time Kas simply grabbed her fist and spun around, sending her through the wall and back into the dining room. She crashed through the table and into the wall.
Kas: Oops. A little too hard, wasn't it?
Junko: (Getting up) I'm Ok. Don't worry! I can put up with a lot more than that.
Ryoga: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!
Kas: Oh, great. Please don't start.
Ryoga stands up.
Junko: Ryoga, don't.
Ryoga: I'm going to rip you apart, Kas!
Kas: Oh, please. You don't know how many Amazons have told me that before I smashed them.
Ryoga lunges at Kas.
Ryoga: Eat this!
Kas slid underneath his attack, and grabbed Ryoga's shoulders. Forcing him to do a face plant, Ryoga skidded into the other room.
Kas: (Sighs) As I said, don't even try, but do they listen, nooooo.
Junko: Did you have to hurt him that…
Shampoo: YOU! (Points at Junko) How you beat Shampoo so easy?
Junko: I didn't do it!
Shampoo: Yes, you did. Shampoo beat you now!
Kas: No, you won't.
Shampoo looks at Kas.
Kas: You have to beat me first, you stupid Amazon.
Shampoo: Who you?
Kas: (Pulls a gold medallion from under his yellow shirt) I am Amazon Hunter Kas! You will die!
Shampoo: Eek! Hunter! Shampoo hear of you! You hunt Amazons at Amazon Village! You beat Houng Shirtri, she Amazon Legend!
Kas: That would be me. Now, brace yourself! I held back last time because I don't want Junko to think I'm completely heartless. She may be my only friend in the world, but I won't hold off a second meeting!
Shampoo: Oh, you want fight. (Looks around and sees Ranma. She runs up to him and gets behind him.) Ranma protect Shampoo.
Ranma: SHAMPOO!
Kas: You are a coward! Quit hiding and fight me.
Ranma: Hey, Kas. Could you do this outside?
Shampoo: Ranma won't protect Shampoo?
Ranma: I don't really want to get into this fight.
Shampoo: (Mad at Ranma) Ranma coward. Shampoo going now.
Shampoo leaves. Kas starts to run after her when Junko grabs him by the arm.
Kas: (Stops and looks at Junko) Let go of me.
Junko: No, Kas. I don't want you to chase after her. If you really want to, do it without me knowing of it. Please?
Kas: (Doesn't move) Ok. I won't. But the next time I see her I'm going after her to finish her off, understand?
Junko: (Letting go of Kas' arm) I understand. Do you want to have dinner?
Kas: Not anymore. That stupid Amazon, they always manage to ruin my appetite. I think I'll go for a walk to let off my frustration instead. (Leaves)
Nabiki: What's with him?
Junko: I don't know. I'm going to see what it is.
Ryoga: What for? That guy is a weirdo. You don't need to talk to him. Stay here and forget about him.
Junko: (Going toward the door) I'm going to talk with him.
Ranma: Don't you want your dinner?
Junko: No. I'm not hungry. (She leaves)
She walks for awhile and sees Kas. She follows him. Kas stops walking.
Kas: (Without turning around) I know you are following me Junko. Don't worry about me. I'm fine.
Junko: Well, I couldn't help worrying. You left all of a sudden. I just want to talk like friends. (She walks up to Kas) So, what's bothering you?
Kas: Maybe I should fill you in on my past. I lived in Canada as a child, happy as can be. Back then I was considered human, couldn't be more happy to be with anyone. Then my family went on a vacation to China. (Kas bites his lip)
Junko: (Puts her hand on Kas' shoulder) I'm listening. Just like you did when I was trying to get over the shock of my father's death.
Kas: (Brushes her hand off) They came across the Amazon Village. The Amazon named Houng Hirutri had something against tourists or something, and killed them all. I hunted her down and (Spreads his hands), well you get the point. I've been the person you now see before you since.
Junko: (Stands quiet for awhile) I know how you feel. (Pause) After meeting that girl Shampoo, I now know they are heartless like what you said. (Looks up at the sky) It's starting to get dark. (Looks at Kas) I'm going back to the Tendo's house. If you want to come back with me, you can. But if you don't want to, I won't force you to come.
Kas: I had a place picked out already. Feel free to join me if you want. (Brightens up) Here, come with me. I'll show you where I'm staying.
Junko: Well, ok. I just need to tell everybody I'm going somewhere with you. I'll be right back.
Kas: Ok.
Junko walks off. She gets back to the Tendo Dojo and goes in. She goes to the dining room.
Ranma: Junko, your back. I was worried.
Ryoga: Me too. That Kas guy didn't do anything to you, did he?
Junko: (Smiles) No. Nothing bad happened. All we did is talk. I just came back to tell you that I'm going with Kas somewhere.
Ryoga: (Getting up) What? Why do you want to?
Junko: Because, Kas asked me if I wanted to come with him and I said yes.
Ryoga: I'm going to come with you then.
Junko: Ryoga, it's going to be fine. Nothing bad is going to happen. I'll see you all later.
Junko leaves.
Ryoga: I'm going to follow her. I'm not letting someone hurt her.
Ryoga leaves.
Ranma: Ryoga doesn't need to worry about her all the time. She can take care of herself.
Akane: That's true. Let's continue dinner, ok?
Ranma: Sure.
Everyone starts to eat dinner. Meanwhile, Junko comes back to Kas.
Junko: Ok, Kas. I told everybody I am going with you. So, what is this place you are going to?
Kas: You'll see when we get there.
Junko: Ok.
Kas and Junko walk off. Right behind them is Ryoga. Neither Kas nor Junko notice Ryoga.
Ryoga: (In his mind) He better not do anything to her or I'm going to tear him up!
Kas: (Walking) You know, you're the only friend I have right now. So, if you ever get into trouble with anyone at all while I'm around, I can and will beat them.
Junko: (Smiles) Thanks Kas. Just as long as you don't kill them while I'm there.
Kas: (Eyes darting all over) Uh, Junko? Can I tell you something, um, important?
Junko: (Looking at Kas) Sure. You can tell me anything. We're friends.
Ryoga: (In his mind) What's he up to? I like to know what he has to say that is important.
Ryoga is quiet and listens to what Kas and Junko are saying.
Kas: I, uh, um... (In head) Dammit! I can be blunt about it any other time! Why not now!? (To Junko) Uh, Junko, would you, I mean, uh, would you mind if I, gah! I can't get it out!
Junko notices that Kas is having a problem saying something.
Junko: (Worried) Kas, what's wrong?
Ryoga: (In his mind) What's wrong with him? Does he have a problem talking? He's acting like an idiot.
Kas: Arrrg! Junko! (Yelling) There is a reason why I'm here! J-Junko, (Very quietly) I-I love you... (Turns away fast)
Stunned silence
Junko: (Quiet for awhile then looks at Kas, blushing alittle) You love me? I don't know what to say. (Starting to blush more) I never had a guy come up to me and say that before.
Junko starts to get closer to Kas and smiles. Ryoga hears this.
Ryoga: (Surprised) What the…? He likes Junko? I don't know about this.
Ryoga starts to get closer and jumps toward a wall that is closer to them, but he misses. A splash is heard.
Junko: (Surprised by the noise) What's that? (Looking toward the wall) It sounds like there is somebody behind that wall.
Kas: (Looking toward the wall) There better not be. (An angry look comes up on his face.)
Junko: I'll go and see.
Junko walks toward the wall. Then she looks behind it. She sees a black pig with a bandana on.
Junko: (Surprised) Where did you come from? I haven't seen you in awhile.
Kas is surprised by what Junko says. Junko comes back from behind the wall.
Kas: Who was over there?
Junko: (Smiling) There wasn't a person behind there, just this pig. (In her arms was the black pig.) I met this pig on my trip here. (The pig sighs. She starts to cuddle it. Then she lefts him up to look at him face to face. The pig is alittle surprised.) (Talking to the pig) You are so cute. (Then she turns him around, where he can see Kas.) (To Kas) Isn't he cute?
The look on the pig's face changes. An angry look comes up on his face.
Kas: (Making an angry face back) When I see that thing, I see supper for very obvious reasons. However, he's yours so I won't go near him.
Junko: Well, now. Changing already, I see.
Junko moves the pig down alittle so, it's not in Kas' face.
Kas: Hey, I've never had these feelings for someone before. It's a whole new thing for me.
The pig looks at Kas and is mad about the eating comment. He starts to move and gets out of Junko's hands. Then he jumps at Kas, biting his nose.
Junko: (Surprised at what has happened) Oh, my. I don't know what has got into him.
Kas: (Yelling) Dammit! Pig! Your DEAD! (Kas grabs on to the pig and tosses him into a hot tub in someone's yard, across the wall.) Stupid pig.
A splash is heard
Junko: (Looking at Kas) You did have to be so mean to it. I'm going to go see if it is alright.
Junko starts to go toward the wall. On the other side of the wall Ryoga comes up.
Ryoga: (In his mind) What happened? (He hears Junko's voice saying that see is coming over to where he is. Then he looks down at himself.) Oh, no. I can't let Junko see me like this.
Ryoga starts to look around and sees his backpack near a tree, close to the pond he fell in earlier. He runs over there and gets some clothes. He gets dressed.
Junko: I'm going to get on this wall and look around for the pig.
Kas: I don't want to find that pig, after what that bastard did to my nose. If I do find it, I'm going to hurt it.
Junko: (Looking at Kas) Kas, I know you are mad at the pig but don't hurt it, please?
Kas: Okay, I won't.
Ryoga: (Hearing that Junko is about to jump on top of the wall) (In his mind) I better hid. (He looks at the tree near him.) I'll climb this tree.
Ryoga climbs up the tree without being seen.
Junko: (Getting on top of the wall) I don't see it. (She starts to call out to see if it would come out.) Here piggy. Here piggy, piggy.
Ryoga: (In his mind) First I'm called P-chan, now I'm being called piggy. This is so embarrassing.
Kas: (Getting on the wall) I don't see it. Let's just go on. I think it might find you later.
Junko: I'm going to look some more. (She jumps down from the wall and into the yard. She starts to walk around looking for the pig. Then see gets under the tree that Ryoga is hiding in.) I don't see it anywhere.
Ryoga: (In his mind) Junko, please don't look up. Please don't look up. (A creaking noise is heard.) What's that sound?
Junko: (Hearing the creaking sound) What's that?
Junko starts to look around.
Kas: There might be someone near by.
Kas looks around too. Ryoga hears the sound again, but much louder. He looks down and sees the branch that he is standing on is giving way.
Ryoga: (In his mind) This is not good.
Then the branch breaks. The branch and Ryoga fall. Junko sees the branch coming at her and lets out a scream. Kas turns around to see dust.
Kas: Junko! Junko, where are you?
Kas runs up to where the dust is. The dust starts to clear. When the dust has cleared away, Kas sees the branch to the right of Junko. Then he looks over at Junko. The look on Kas' face changes. When the branch fell, Junko fell backwards onto her back. Ryoga fell on top of her. Ryoga starts to wake up, and sees that he is on top of Junko. He moves away from her, and has his back to the tree. Junko starts to get up.
Junko: (Looks at Ryoga, surprised) Ryoga, where did you come from?
Ryoga: Well, you see…I…um…(In his mind) What can I say to her? I can't tell her that I was following her and Kas.
Kas: (Politely turned away) You know, if you're gonna spy on her, try and do so with a little decency. I may not have been in school since I was 10, but it doesn't take an idiot to find out what you were doing.
Ryoga: Uh, Junko, I didn't mean anything, honest!
Kas bats him upside the head with his staff
Kas: Baka. Get out of my sight.
Ryoga: (Standing up) No!
Kas: Do you want another beating? I'll gladly deal one out to prove to all I'm not afraid to use force!
Ryoga: Ok. I'll fight you.
Junko: Stop it! I don't want you two fighting.
Ryoga starts to come at Kas. Kas stands his ground. When Ryoga is close enough to hit Kas, Kas starts to move to block. Before anything can happen, Junko gets in-between them and pushes them back from each other.
Junko: (Alittle mad) I don't want you fighting each other! (She starts to calm down and looks at Ryoga.) Ryoga, can we talk?
Ryoga: Sure, Junko.
Junko: (Looking at Kas) I'm going to go have a word with Ryoga. I'll be right back.
Kas is quiet. Junko and Ryoga walk off. They don't go to far.
Ryoga: Junko, I'm sorry about this. I didn't mean to follow you.
Junko: Why were you?
Ryoga: Ok I'll tell you. I can't keep secrets from you. Well, I followed you because of Kas. I don't really trust him. I thought he might do something bad to you. I don't want that to happen. You're like a sister to me.
Junko: That's why you followed us. Did you hear what we were talking about?
Ryoga: (Sighs) Sorry but yes. I did hear what Kas told you. I'm sorry for eavesdropping
Junko: That's ok. Don't worry about me, Ryoga. Kas won't do anything to me. (She turns away, then looks back at Ryoga.) I did forget to ask you something. Did you see a little black pig? I'm looking for it.
Ryoga: (He looks down) Yes, I did see it and I know where it is.
Junko: (Smiling) That's great. Where is it?
Ryoga: (Looking at Junko) Right here.
Junko: (Confused) I don't see it here. What do you mean?
Ryoga: Well, what I mean is that…(Quietly) I'm the pig.
Junko: (Still confused) I don't understand.
Ryoga: I'm the pig you are looking for. I should of told you this before. I been to China and went to Jusenkyo. I fell into one of the ponds. That pig you saw is my curse.
Ryoga looks down.
Junko (Very surprised) Oh! Ryoga, that's terrible. I'm so sorry for what I have done with you when you were the pig.
Ryoga: (Looking at Junko) Don't worry about it Junko. Things like that happen. I'm going to go back to the Tendo's. I'm still sorry about following you and Kas.
Junko: (Smiles) Ok, Ryoga. I'll see you back at the Tendo's later.
Ryoga leaves. Junko walks back to where Kas is.
Junko: I had a talk with him. He told me why he was following us. He didn't stay too long. He went back home.
Kas: Uh, ok. I need to talk to you. Uh, Junko, would you mind if um, if you come to a little restaurant I found the other day?
Junko: (Walking up to him) Sure, I would love to.
Junko is now right next to him.
Kas: (Is visibly unnerved) Uhhhhh, Ok! It's called the Cat Cafe. A ramen shop actually.
They start walking.
---Time passes---
Junko and Kas are standing in front of the shop. Kas takes a deep breath and starts to walk up to the door when two little blurs land next to him and Junko.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: Hunter! We kill you for what you do to older sister Houng!
Junko: (Surprised) What now? Can stuff like this happen when I'm not around, please? (Gets closer to Kas) Kas, what are going to do?
Kas: I let you two live for a reason. You are young; you still have a chance to denounce your Amazon heritage. But it seems to me that you both have a death wish. (Looks at Junko) This is an unavoidable fight. I'm sorry Junko. Stand back because things are about to get ugly.
Kas draws his staff and faces the little amazons, who are visibly unnerved. And Junko steps back. In hopes of a surprise attack, both Lin-Lin and Lun- Lun charge. Kas blocked both attacks with the ends of his staff then using the upper end of the staff, hooks Lin-Lin's pitchfork and pulls it from her hands. Kas jumped over Lun-Lun's attack and landed some distance behind her.
Junko: (Alittle scared) Kas be careful. I don't want you to get hurt. (She moves away some more to let Kas have more room to move.) (In her mind) I would like to help Kas fight this Amazons, but I don't know what to do.
Lin-Lin: Hey! Girl! Why you with Hunter? He dangerous person!
Kas: I'm dangerous to those I hate, ya stupid Amazon! Learn what my personality is before you judge it! Here's your stupid pitchfork back. Now get out of my sight! (Tosses pitchfork at Lin-Lin)
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: No! We beat and avenge big sister Houng.
Kas: Your funeral.
The twins leaped into the air just as Shampoo came in from behind Kas. Thing was, he didn't know Shampoo was there.
Junko: (Looking over to where Kas is) Oh, no. Not her again.
Shampoo: What noise? (She looks up and sees Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun.) (In her mind) Why they here? (Then she turns and sees Kas.) That why. That hunter again. (To Kas) Hey, you. What you do in front of Shampoo's restaurant?
Kas: (Whirled and spotted Shampoo. Instantly, he was defensive.) I was going to treat Junko to a meal here, but not now. (To Junko) I'm gonna need your help. Those twins will kill you so I'll handle the little horrors. I hope you can just hold the big one back until I can help you. Is that ok?
Junko: (Looking at Kas) Okay. I can handle it. (To Shampoo) Hey, you. Come and get me.
Junko makes a face at Shampoo.
Shampoo: (Mad) Why you. Shampoo make you pay.
Shampoo runs at Junko. When Shampoo is close to Junko she tries to kick her, but Junko jumps over the kick. Junko jumps on top of a wall.
Junko: Come on. Can you do better then that?
Shampoo: Girl in big trouble.
Shampoo jumps up on the wall. Junko starts running on the wall.
Junko: Come and catch me.
Shampoo runs after her. Then Junko stops running, because she was at the edge of the wall. Shampoo is right behind her. Junko turns around but Shampoo gets a kick in before she can dodge it. Junko starts to lose her balance on the wall and starts to fall backwards. But before she starts falling she sends a kick at Shampoo, making her fall off the other side of the wall. A splash is heard, on the side that Junko fall. Shampoo gets up off the ground and starts to get back on top of the wall to look for Junko. Junko-kun gets out of the water. Junko-kun looks up and sees Shampoo, then jumps up on the wall. Shampoo turns and is about to kick again when she got a good look at Junko-kun.
Shampoo: (Happy) Ranma. Why you here? Shampoo happy you here.
Shampoo goes over there and starts hugging Junko-kun.
Junko-kun: (Embarrassed) Could you not hug me please.
Shampoo: Why Ranma? You help Shampoo fight bad man over there. (Pointing at Kas)
Junko-kun: …
Before Junko-kun can say anything, Shampoo drags him over to where Kas is. Kas is still fighting Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun.
Shampoo: (To Kas) Hey, bad man. You in trouble now. Girl that was with you is gone. Now you alone. Ranma, come to help Shampoo. (To Junko-kun) Right Ranma? (Hugging his arm)
Junko-kun: (More embarrassed) …
Kas: (Blocks hit from the pitchfork) Dammit! Junko! Help!
Kas whirls and smashes Junko-kun in the head with his foot. He flies back a few feet and Kas returned his full attention to the twins. He brought his staff down lightly on top of Lun-Lun's skull and knocked her unconscious, then ducked really fast as Shampoo made a flying kick at the back of his head. She kept going and into the restaurant. Kas kicked Lin-Lin in the side and she landed on top of Lun-Lun.
Kas: (Turning to find the guy that he smashed in the face) Where are you? I ain't done yet!
*Splash* Kas was hit with a bucket of water from behind. A distinctly female "eek" was heard and Kas jumped on top of the building and ran to the other side. Junko-kun heard the scream but didn't get up.
Junko-kun: (In his mind) Why did Kas have to kick me so damn hard?
Junko-kun gets up and looks around. He sees the twins are out cold. Then he starts to go toward the restaurant. Shampoo comes out and sees him.
Shampoo: Where bad man go? (Sees Junko-kun) Ranma, are you alright?
Shampoo gives Junko-kun a hug.
Junko-kun: Yea, I'm alright. Could you not hug me.
Shampoo: (Looking at Junko-kun) You hurt? Shampoo sorry for hurting Ranma. (She starts looking around.) Shampoo can't find bad man. You know where he go?
Junko-kun: No. I'm going to go look for him. You go back in the restaurant, ok?
Shampoo: Ok, Ranma. Shampoo do. (She starts to go in but then looks at Junko-kun.) Wait Ranma. Before you go, Shampoo have ramen for you. (Shampoo goes back in and comes back out with a bowl of ramen soup. She hands it to Junko-kun.) You eat when looking for bad man. So you later, Ranma.
Junko-kun is quiet. Shampoo goes back into the restaurant. Junko-kun looks at the bowl of ramen soup.
Junko-kun: I was going to go some place to eat with Kas. But, I'm getting really hungry now. (Junko-kun eats the ramen fast and all that is left in the bowl was some hot water. He puts the bowl down.) Now I'm going to look for Kas. (He jumps on top of the Cat Café and looks around, then starts yelling.) Kas! Kas, where are you? I just want to talk with you. I forgive you for kicking me so hard in the head. Please come out. (He doesn't see a thing. He jumps down from the roof to the ground. A sad look comes up on his face.) Why did he go?
Junko-kun looks over to where Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun are. They are starting to move.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: Where bad man go?
Junko-kun: He left.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: (Looking at Junko-kun) Ranma!
They go over the Junko-kun and start hugging him.
Junko-kun: Would you not hug me.
Lin-Lin: Why Ranma?
Junko-kun: (Thinking of a lie) Well…I don't feel like it. Anyway, that guy you were fighting is gone. Why don't you two go home now.
Lun-Lun: If you beat bad man, then we go home. Bye Ranma.
Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun leave.
Junko-kun: (Relieved) Good, they are gone now. (Starts looking around) No one is watching me.
Junko-kun gets the bowl and pours some of the hot water on himself. She is back to herself.
Junko: Now I'm going to look for Kas again. (She gets back on top of the Cat Café again and starts to yell.) Kas, It's me Junko. Where are you? Please come back. (She sits down and looks down at her feet.) Why did he leave me all alone here?
A tear starts to go down her cheek. A hand falls on Junko's shoulder. She turned and found herself face to face with another Amazon. This Amazon had long brown hair like Kas', only combed. She wore a tight fitting black top that had a red Maple Leaf on the left breast. Her pants were black and baggy.
Amazon: Why Junko so sad?
Junko was stunned! This Amazon knew her by name! Junko was on her feet in a flash.
Junko: H-How do you know my name!? I've never met you before!
Amazon: It Kas. This another secret Kas keep from you. Junko call Amazon- half Red, ok?
Junko just stared, stunned.
Red: (Laughing) Junko too easy to amaze.
Junko belted Red upside the head and she shut up fast. Red stood there in obvious shock.
Junko: THAT was for making me cry!
Red didn't move. Then her eyes did the strangest thing: they turned red! She jumped off the side of the building and landed in front of the Ramen- shop. A few shouts, a crash, and finally Shampoo flew out the front door, and landed gracefully on her feet.
Shampoo: What Amazon sister want with Shampoo?
Red: (In pissed voice) Your life!
Junko looked down and saw Red with Shampoo. She didn't know what was going to happen.
Junko: (Wiping a tear from her face) I hope nothing bad happens.
Shampoo gracefully dodged the deadly blow from Red.
Red: DIE stupid Amazon!
Shampoo: (Thinking) Where Shampoo here that before? (Realizing it) That no Amazon! That Hunter! But how he turn to sister Amazon all of sudden?
Red: (Calming down a bit, realizing that this approach won't get her nowhere) Mmmmm, this taking too long. Red beat you in different fashion. (Takes a defensive stance)
Shampoo attacks, taking the bait. Red kicked Shampoo hard in the stomach, then followed up with an elbow in the side of the head. Shampoo flew a few feet and landed face first on the ground. She looked up with her sight hazed with pain, a gash bleeding freely. From out of nowhere Red pulled up a kettle of water and then poured it on herself, turning into Kas. As she changed to a he, the clothes changed back to his other style.
Kas: (Eyes burning intense red and holding a hunting knife menacingly) Now I will finish what I started a few hours ago.
Junko looks down at Kas again and sees that he is himself, not Red. Then she sees the hunting knife in Kas' hands. She wants to turn away and not watch this but she can't.
Junko: (Quietly to herself) This is all my fault. I shouldn't of belted him like that. Because of that he's mad. I should go down there and apologize to him. (She looks down at Shampoo. She sees the Shampoo can't move very well.0 Kas is going to kill her. I don't think I can do anything about it. (Then a thought came up) I got an idea.
Junko jumps down from the roof and lands close to Kas. She walks up to him.
Junko: Kas. I came to apologize for what I did to you on the roof. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me.
Kas: (Surprised) W-what?
Junko: I'm apologizing for what I did on the roof. If you need proof, here it is.
Junko hugs Kas, who get the most unlikely face on. He began to sweat, nervous as all hell.
Kas: Um, I, ah, apology accepted. I guess.
Shampoo in the meantime stood up and looked at Kas with a new look on her face: fear.
Shampoo: (In her mind) Shampoo better get out of here. Hunter close to killing Shampoo.
Shampoo quietly runs off without anybody seeing her.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you Kas. Can we go somewhere else? I don't like this place.
Kas: Lets. I have no intentions to stick around here anymore.
Kas picks her up and holds her in his arms for a moment, not wanting to move. After a minute or two, he jumped on top of the stonewall and made grand leaps from building to building with Junko in his arms.
Kas: Where to? You name it, I'll pay for it.
Junko: (Blushing and smiling) Well, I don't really know this place that much. So I don't know where restaurants are around here. There is one that my cousin showed me. It's an okonomiyaki restaurant. It's very good.
Kas: Mm. What ever you say goes.
Kas follows Junko's directions and eventually find themselves in front of a small shop. Kas sniffs the air.
Junko: What do you smell?
Kas: Something that isn't very good to smell. Amazons and steel make a very distinct smell at close quarters.
Kas grunts as he jumped very hard. Right where they were, a knife hit the ground.
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: DIE HUNTER!!
Junko: (Sighing) Not those two again. I thought I told them to go home. I saw them leave. They must of not listened to me. (Sighing again) Kas, do you know a way to get them off our backs?
Kas shook his head.
Kas: Nope. Other than kicking their heads in, no.
Kas dodged to the left, then the right. Every time with Junko in his arms.
Kas: Piss off Amazon!
Junko: (To Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun) Why don't you two go home?
Lin-Lin/Lun-Lun: (To Junko) You no tell us what to do. We stay until Hunter die. If you get in way, we kill you too.
Junko is shocked.
Kas: WHAT!?!
Junko: ...
Kas: (Shaking with rage) You, you stupid amazons. (Obviously trying to keep calm) You will die for even thinking about harming Junko! You're just lucky I have no intentions of putting her down!
Junko: (Shocked at Kas' protectiveness then starts to blush) Kas, that's sweet of you. I feel safe with you.
Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun look at each other then look back at Kas
Lun-Lun: We have idea. We make you drop her. Right Lin-Lin?
Lin-Lin: (Nodding) Yes. Here we come, Hunter.
Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun run at Kas.
Kas: Catch me if you can! (Kas begins to leap from rooftop to rooftop, the Amazons close behind. After a minute of this, Kas' strength begins to wan.) (Thinking) I can't keep this up! (Notices he is near the park where he found his newest home) That's it! I'll lose them in that little underground passageway! I'll probably get lost myself, but with Junko here...
Kas: I have an idea! (Quickly explains his plan) What do you think?
Junko: Sounds like a good idea. Go for it. I trust you.
Kas: At least someone does.
Kas leaps into the park and runs as fast as possible to the other end of the room. It was large and circular, with roots of trees coming out of the ceiling. He ran at full speed down one corridor and the Amazons followed. They all emerge in a dead end.
Kas: Crap. Well, I guess we stand and fight here.
Very reluctantly, he puts Junko down. Both Kas and Junko assume a fighting stance.
Junko: (To Lin-Lin and Lun-Lun) Ok. You want to fight. Then come at me.
Lin-Lin: Girl want to fight us. Then girl die with Hunter. (Looking at Lun- Lun) You fight girl. I fight Hunter.
Lun-Lun: Ok.
Lun-Lun runs at Junko and tries to hit her but Junko moves out of the way and kicks her hard. Lin-Lin gets her pitchfork and starts to come at Kas with it. Kas whipped out his staff and smashed Lin-Lin's hand, making her drop the pitchfork. Kas drew his knife and made an arc towards her throat. Junko turns to see Kas with he's knife again. She starts to go over to Kas. Lun-Lun starts to get up and sees that Junko has her back to her.
Lun-Lun: (In her mind) This good. I can get her now.
Lun-Lun quickly gets up and jumps at Junko. Junko doesn't have time to react to it. Lun-Lun kicks Junko. Junko falls to the ground from the kick. Lun-Lun lands on top of Junko.
Lun-Lun: Now girl die.
Kas heard Junko gasp as a thud sounded off. Kas turned and saw Lun-Lun raising her weapon to deal a killing blow. Kas chucked his staff like a javelin at her and it smacked her in the face. Lun-Lun fell back, unconscious and bleeding. Lin-Lin on the other hand, got up and screeched a war cry and lunges at Kas. Kas turns in time to see her fist come square into his face. He fell backwards and she fell on top of him. He got a murderous glint in his eye and brought his knee into her stomach, knocking the wind out of her. In the meantime, Junko had gotten up and watched Lin- Lin fight Kas with near surprise.
Junko: (Smiling) Thanks Kas, for getting her off me. (The smile on her face goes) Do you need any help?
Kas grabbed Lin-Lin by the back of her neck and threw her into the wall.
Kas: Nope. Everything's under control. Shall we leave now?
Junko: (Nods) Yes. She walks up to Kas and puts her arms around his right arm. Let's leave.
Kas: Heh heh. I still can't believe you like me as well!
Kas and Junko walk out of the little underground place. Junko notices that it is getting late.
Junko: It's a little dark. I have to get home.
Kas: That's no problem; I'll walk you there.
Junko: (Smiling) Thank you Kas. (They get to the Tendo Dojo.) Well, we are here. I'll be going in now. I would like it if you could stay here, but I know you have a place to stay already. I'll see you tomorrow.
Junko moves away from Kas to the door of the Tendo's. Then she looks around. Then looks at Kas. She walks up to him and lightly kisses him on the cheek. She walks away and goes into the house. Kas just stood there for a minute after she went in. He touched his cheek where she kissed him and suddenly came back to reality.
Kas: Junko! Wait! I want to stay with you!
Kas leaped over the fence and landed in front of Junko.
Junko: You do?
Kas: I do.
Junko: (Smiling) That's great. Come on in.
Kas and Junko walk in and go toward the dining room. At the table, Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane are talking.
Ryoga: Where is she? I thought she would be back by now. I hope nothing bad happened to her.
Ranma: (Looking at Ryoga) Don't worry. She'll be back.
Akane: Yea Ryoga. She'll be alright.
Junko comes into the dining room with Kas behind her.
Junko: Hi everybody. I'm back.
Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane all look at Junko.
Ryoga: Junko, where have you been? I was worried.
Junko: Just walking around with Kas. We had a fun time.
Ranma: Now we can put our troubles behind us. I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
Ranma leaves.
Akane: Me too. Goodnight.
Akane leaves.
Ryoga: (Getting up) Junko, don't worry me like that. I thought something bad happened to you.
Junko: Nothing bad happened. Kas is with me.
Ryoga: Ok. If you say so. I'm going to bed. (He starts to leave. When he gets close to Kas he gives him a nasty look, then starts to walk pass him. He stops.) Oh, one more thing. You better not sneak into Junko's room when she is asleep. Get me?
Ryoga walks off.
Kas: (Gets innocent look on his face) Don't plan on it. (Quietly so no one can hear it) Yet.
Junko: Sit down.
Kas: (Sitting down, reluctantly) Um, Junko? Can I ask you a question?
Junko: (Smiles) Go ahead.
Kas: (Standing up and walking towards her) Uh, this... (Kisses her full on the lips)
Junko is very surprised. She stays still for awhile. Then she moves her arms and puts them around Kas. After a min, she moves her lips away from Kas'.
Junko: (Blushing) That was my first kiss. I'm glad that my first kiss was with you.
Kas: (Still seeing stars) Wow... I-I'm glad that my first kiss was with you too.
Little did they know, but Ryoga was watching them.
Ryoga: (Thinking) N-nani!?! (Out loud) KAS!!!! YOUR DEAD!!!!
Kas: Uh, oh!
Junko: (Mad) Ryoga! I can't believe this. First you follow us. Now you're spying on us. Why are you doing this?
Junko moves her arms and puts them to her sides.
Ryoga: (To Junko) I don't trust this pervert. (Pointing at Kas) There are alot more guys that are better then this guy. (To Kas) Why don't you leave? I don't want to see your face around here ever again.
Junko: Ryoga!
Kas: What? Leave her? (Looks at Junko) Junko. Let me handle this. I'm going to try a slightly different approach to this. I gots me an idea.
Junko: (To Kas) Ok Kas. Just don't hurt him, please.
Ryoga: (To Kas) I like to hear this idea of yours.
Kas grabs Ryoga by the arm and drags him around the corner.
Kas: (Quietly) Look, I am here for one purpose only, and that is to marry Junko. You know what? While I was gone from her side for that month, I bought out Junko's old home. I want to surprise her with it, but idiots like you keep getting in the way. You try to interfere again, and you will find yourself short the equipment to keep your family line going. Got it?
Ryoga was quiet for awhile.
Ryoga: (Quietly) Marry her? Ain't you going to fast? What if she isn't ready for that? (Sighs and pauses) Well, ok. I'll get out of your way. Just don't do anything to upset her. She's like a sister to me.
Ryoga walks into the dining room.
Junko: So what happened?
Ryoga: We just talked. I'm going to bed now. Goodnight.
Junko: Goodnight Ryoga.
Ryoga walks off and a door is heard closing. Junko walks around the corner to see Kas.
Junko: So you had a nice talk with Ryoga. That's nice. I'm going to bed now. (She starts thinking then looks at Kas.) Well, you might not want to share the same room as Ryoga, Ranma, and my uncle Genma. You can sleep on the couch if that's ok with you?
Kas: Mm, no, I'll be fine. I'll sleep right here in the dining room. I won't disturb anyone here. G'night!
Junko: (Smiling) Ok. I'll see you in the morning. Goodnight.
Junko walks off and goes to her room. She puts on her nightgown and gets in bed. She goes to sleep. While Junko went to sleep, Kas sat down on the little porch and whispered to himself.
Kas: Today wasn't the best day. Tomorrow, I'll do something special with Junko.
Kas gets up and finds a nice place in the dining room to sleep. He goes to sleep.
