Gotta Catch A Bishonen! By: Neko-chan
Chapter Five
The group quickly found an inn, and they checked in. After asking the inn's clerk if there were any good restaurants in town (there were), they headed off, searching for a diner to satisfy their growing hunger.
"I'm so hungry that I could eat....oh, I don't know....I'm so hungry that I could eat...Arashi!", Goku commented as he rubbed his growling stomach. This just made the growling worse, and Goku started looking at Arashi with hunger in his eyes.
Arashi saw this and quickly hid behind Trunks, hoping that that would discourage him. It didn't. It just made him look at Trunks in hunger.
"Now I'm glad I'm an android.", Juunana said as he watched Goku stare at Trunks and Arashi, salivating at the mouth.
Duet and Duo edged away from the group, knowing that Goku would be staring at them next.
Nudging Duo, Duet whispered, "Help me find a diner. I don't want Goku staring at us like that."
Duo quickly nodded, and then began his search with renewed desperation. Anything could happen when Goku was hungry. If he ever got hungry enough, Duo didn't doubt that he would eat Arashi and Trunks.
After several minutes of searching, Duo and Duet finally found the perfect diner. Good food at cheap prices.
The small group quickly went in and sat at a table. Soon, a waitress came over and asked what they wanted. Before Arashi could say anything, Goku, Trunks, and Juunana ordered everything on the menu....in triple portions.
Hearing this, Duet leaned over, and told the waitress (Clara Juanita Salsa Debra Maxine Rico de San Salvador, for all of you who were wondering what her name is) to give them separate checks. Then she, Arashi, and Duo ordered.
As the group waited for their food, Goku, Juunana, and Trunks's stomachs started to growl louder. In fact, they grew so loud that everyone in the restaurant turned around, searching for the source of the 'disturbing noise'.
Once they discovered that it was their stomachs that were growling, the people gave the group a weird look, and returned to their own food, trying to ignore the noise.
Duo's stomach, seeing how much attention that Goku, Trunks, and Juunana were getting, started growling too. Duo glared down at it, rubbing it to quiet it. This only made the growling worse. Seeing (or hearing, actually) this, Duo started getting mad at his stomach, and told it to stop growling. Duo's stomach just growled louder, making it loud (*ahem* excuse the pun) and clear just how hungry it was. And, of course, Duo only got angrier, and his stomach started growling louder in response to his anger.
Amy watched Duo's argument with his stomach, faintly amused. Everyone else just stared at Duo weirdly, unknowingly copying the restaurant's guests' earlier look, when they had looked at Goku, Trunks, and Juunana.
Finally, after about several more minutes, the food finally arrived. As Clara Juanita Salsa Debra Maxine Rico de San Salvador put the food on the table, Arashi and Duet backed up, not willing to lose any fingers or other body parts due to four hungry Bishonen. Only when the guys's plates were full of food did Arashi and Duet take a chance and serve themselves. They quickly finished, scared by how Trunks's, Duo's, Goku's, and Juunana's eyes followed their hands as they took some food for themselves.
Half an hour and 500 dumplings later, the four Bishonen were finally satisfied.
The waitress walked by the small group's table and gave each Duet and Arashi their bills.
Duet winced, but managed to pay her and Duo's bill. One hundred fifty-seven dollars and ninety-eight cents. Then she and Duo quickly ran out of the diner, not wanting to see Arashi's face when she read her bill. Faintly, they heard a shriek of horror. "ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE DOLLARS AND FIFTEEN CENTS??!! I CAN'T PAY THAT!! TRUNKS, GOKU, JUUNANA.....WHAT DID YOU EAT???"
As Duet and Duo ran farther away, they heard Goku mumble something to Arashi, and her reply of, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'YOU ATE EVERYTHING IN THE DINER'???"
* * *
Since Arashi couldn't pay her bill, the diner's manager, Shayla Bimbo, made her stay after and clean dishes as payment. Shayla, thinking that Arashi's Bishonen were cute, let the three guys go. They did so gratefully, terrified of the look that Arashi had been giving them for the past half hour. Running as fast as they could, they went back to the inn, and waited for Arashi to come.
*~@~*
Arashi glared down at the dish she was currently washing, had been washing for the past fifteen minutes. Her scowl darkened as she scrubbed harder, pretending that the plate was Shayla Bimbo. Gritting her teeth, she snarled.
For the past four hours, Arashi had been cleaning dishes. But every time she was done, that.....that.....that jerk would come out of her little hidey-hole and say that something was wrong with the plate, or bowl, or whatever else Arashi had just finished cleaning.
She snarled again, thinking of all the things she was planning on doing to her Bishonen once she got to her hotel room. Images came to mind, and she grinned maliciously. They will regret leaving me behind to do all of their work. As she thought this, a quick stab of pain lodge itself into her heart. Bitterly, she thought, I thought that they were my friends. But friends don't do this.
Damn plate., she thought as she scrubbed the now sparkling plate even more vigorously. Cursing more than she had in days, she thought, Damn Saiya-jin appetite, damn bill, damn Miss Shayla Bimbo. Men are worthless., she thought. They left me at the first sign of trouble, and now they're nice and warm, sleeping, in their beds as I work. Men are jerks; worthless. The only thing they're around for is to procreate.
Finally finished with her plate, she hissed in satisfaction. Putting it down in the dish rack, she stretched and took off the hideous apron. Covering a yawn with one hand, she started for the exit.
"Excuse me, but you are not done.", Miss Shayla Bimbo said as she stepped forth from her cave. "You still have to do other things." There was a sadistic smile on her face as she said this.
Arashi glared, tired and pissed off. "I am done.", she told Shayla flatly.
Shayla's smile turned even colder. "No, you aren't. You aren't done until I say you are. And you aren't.", she said as she flipped her shoulder length blonde hair over a shoulder.
All night, Arashi had managed to reign in her temper by a fine thread. Now, at those words, that thread broke. "Go to hell.", Arashi replied as she flipped the 'slave-driver' the finger. And Shayla watched in amazement as Arashi left, slamming the door behind her. Once she was gone, Shayla Bimbo burst into tears; realizing that that was the first time anyone had ever disobeyed her.
Arashi stomped towards the inn, still pissed off. She shoved her hands into her pockets; one, because of the cold; and two, because she was embarrassed about them, they were covered in wrinkles and red from the sting of the lye dish soap. She sighed, kicking a rock down the street. It made a little noise as it skittered across the pavement.
Arashi shivered, finally realizing how alone she was. No one was walking the street; no one. Anyone could attack her at any time. And as she thought that, she felt the cold press of a gun barrel dig into her back. She stiffened, and jerked to a halt.
"Give me your valuables and money, now, or you're going to lose that pretty little head.", a cold voice said from behind her.
Arashi's lower lip trembled, and she fought the urge to cry. First the not being able to pay the bill, then the washing dishes, and now this., she thought. Finally stretched beyond her patience capacity, she sighed; then turned around.
The would-be robber was young, only about nineteen. And he was taken aback by the sheer cold fury shining in Arashi's eyes. I knew I should've robbed that old lady., he thought as he took a step back.
Following him, Arashi said, "You know, you picked a really bad night to try and rob me. Now I am really and truly pissed off." And with that, she grabbed the gun from his lifeless fingers and crushed the barrel. Picking him up by the collar and making his feet hang above the ground, she growled, "Now get the hell out of my face, or I will kill you."
He uttered a startled 'eep' and nodded quickly. Glaring at him, Arashi threw him and he landed in a trash heap.
Arashi turned away and hunched her shoulders, headed for the inn. After about ten more minutes of walking in shadows, she finally reached it. When she saw the inn's welcoming lights, she almost cried for joy. She ran up the stairwell, completely ignoring the elevator, and ran to her and the group's small room.
Putting the key into the lock, she turned the handle. But something was wrong. The door wouldn't open. Realizing that she was locked out, she started pounding on the door, but no one came.
Arashi curled herself into a ball in front of the door and cried herself to sleep.
* * *
As the alarm clock rang six o'clock, Duet opened her eyes and yawned. Stretching in bed, she looked around the room. She grinned when she spotted the Bishonen, all curled up into a heap, trying to get most of the blanket. But her grin soon turned to a frown when she saw that Arashi's bed was still unoccupied, and looked as if no one had slept in it the night before.
Thinking that Arashi had just made her bed, and then went down to eat, Duet shrugged and promptly fell back asleep.
Meanwhile, Goku, Juunana, Trunks, and Duo were waking up; their stomachs telling them it was time to eat. They quickly got dressed, and went outside.
And tripped over Arashi, who lay sleeping at their doorstep. The Bishonen looked at each other, panicked.
"Uh-ohhhh.......I think that we're gonna get in trouble when she wakes up!" Goku said, looking down at his exhausted Bishonen trainer.
Juunana shrugged, and picked up Arashi, taking her inside. That done, they went downstairs to eat breakfast. A few minutes later, Duet joined the group, walking as quietly as possible.
"So....she is awake?" Duo asked his trainer, giving her his *brightest* smile.
Duet winced. "Yes.....unfortunately...she said that she's going to be down in a couple of minutes. And she didn't look happy."
And, a few minutes later, right on schedule, Arashi walked into the room, newly showered and with a new change of clothes.
"Good morning, Arashi," Goku greeted, he and Arashi's other two Bishonen giving her their charmingest smiles.
But all Arashi did was give them a dirty look, and said: "We're going to go to go to the Bisho-gym today. Duet and I are going to try and get our gym badges."
The four Bishonen nodded, too terrified of her to say anything.
* * *
"Wow....so this is a Bisho-gym!" Duet exclaimed as the small group stood outside of a huge building. It was all white, with no signs. Except, of course: Bisho-gym. They group walked inside, where they were directed towards the place where the battle would take place. Duet offered to go first, and so she stood in her designated spot, waiting for the gym leader to appear.
Several minutes later, a pretty young girl, with bright green hair, purple eyes stepped up to the opposite side. "I am Lily, Bisho-Gym Leader at this gym!"
"And my name is Duet, and I challenge you!" Duet countered. They nodded at each other, and Lily quickly told the rules. If Duet managed to win their one Bisho-battle, she would get her badge; and, if she chose, she would get another Bishonen.
And then....the battle began.
"I chose you......Quatre!" Lily cried, throwing her Bisho-ball at the middle of the arena.
Duet blinked, and then smiled. "I chose you....Duo!" she countered, throwing her ball at the arena. With a loud 'pop!' and a flash of red light, Duo came out of his Bisho-ball (she had put him in his Bisho-ball before the battle...).
He wielded a scythe, while Quatre wielded a.........tea pot?? Duo smirked, then quickly slashed out with his scythe, cutting the tea pot in half. Quatre blinked rapidly a few times, then slowly backed away. Yelling over his shoulder at Lily, he said, "We shouldn't be fighting at all!"
At this, Lily sighed and called Quatre back into his Bisho-ball. Turning to Duet, she said, "You win. You get one of my Bisho-gym's badges. Is there a Bishonen that you would like?"
Duet grinned widely. "Got a Vegeta?" she asked, while scratching the back of her head innocently. Lily grinned back and tossed a new Bisho-ball at Duet.
"Here you go, Duet. And good battle!"
Duet nodded, then went and sat down, allowing Arashi to be up next.
Lily grinned at her new opponent, and then threw one of her Bisho-balls, yelling, "Wufei, I chose you!"
Arashi grinned, then turned to her Bishonen, who were standing in front of her. "Juunana, I chose you!"
With a wide grin of his face, the cyborg went into the arena; eyeing Wufei contemptously. Goku and Trunks walked up to Arashi, standing behind her. "Why couldn't we fight?" Goku asked, pouting.
Arashi grinned at him. "Don't worry. You'll be fighting in the near future."
And then the battle began. Wufei and Juunana exchanged a flurry of kicks and blows, but soon it was apparent that Wufei wasn't able to keep up with Juunana's superior strength and speed. Soon, he was lying on his back on the floor, Juunana's fingers pointed at his throat in the 'kill' position. Seeing this, Lily called Wufei back into this Bisho-ball and sighed.
"Looks like you won, just like your sister did," she replied as she tossed Arashi a Bisho-gym badge. "So, what type of Bishonen do you want?"
Arashi grinned, then said, "I want Heero."
Lily grinned back and tossed a Bisho-ball at Arashi. "Here you go. And good luck to both of you on your journey!" And, with that, she walked away.
Duet and Arashi looked at each other, grinning. Then they both gave a shout of joy and ran into their Bishonen's arms, congratulating them on a job well done.
Finally, once their celebration was over, they went outside and continued their walk in the woods.
