Chapter 4

[Xian Pu! I haven't seen you since...um...yesterday!] An orchid haired three year old ran up to a blue/violet haired four year old. [Kon Di! Do you want to go play with the elders today?] She smiled brightly at the orchid haired child. [Ok Xian Pu! Let's be best friends forever!] The two started running off. [Should we go find Muu-Tsu?] [Yeah! He'd love to come with us for this one!] The two giggled and ran off looking for their other companion.

[Kon Di? You still awake?] Conditioner's eyes snapped open. Stifling a yawn, she mumbled something unintelligible. Why did they have to wake her up? She had been having a nice dream about their childhood...oh well, it was in the past now.

[We're home Kon Di.] Once again, Conditioner looked up. She was getting another piggy-back ride from Mousse, but that was only because she had had such a long and tiring day. She had traveled most of the way from China, attacked several people, learned shocking secrets about her friends, and had still managed to stay awake long enough to eat dinner with the Tendos.

Now they had arrived back at the Cat Cafe, Mousse and Shampoo still wearing their rival's clothing. [We'd better find you a place to sleep...] Cologne walked down the stairs to find the three in the front room. *Almost like when they were younger. oh, those three were quite the troublemakers in their day...* Cologne shook her head and went to greet them.

[Welcome home Xian Pu, Kon Di, Muu-Tsu] The three bowed. [Thank you respected elder] Cologne smiled. *Now that's something they never would have said.* [Well Kon Di, I guess you may sleep in Shampoo's room, I'll go make you a bed.] Conditioner thanked her and followed Shampoo to her room.

Once there, they soon had Conditioner a nice sleeping space. [Goodnight Xian Pu] [night Kon Di] Conditioner rolled over. [Can I ask you something, Xian Pu?] Shampoo said something into her pillow. [mmf] [Um, do you hate me?] Shampoo sat up, rubbed her shoulder, and gave Conditioner horse-shoe eyes. [Why would I hate you? You're the best friend I ever had!] The two smiled at each other and went to sleep.

~~*~~Next Day~~*~~


The sun shone in on Conditioner's pillow. She sat up and looked at the digital clock above Shampoo's bed. *Aiyaa! I must have been really tired last night to have slept in this late!* Yawning, Conditioner stretched out and walked down stairs in the pj's she borrowed from Shampoo. Of course, she did forget it was a resteraunt...

[Good morning elder!] Cologne looked at Conditioner, and so did everyone else in the resteraunt. The men started cheering, their wives (if they had one) slapped them upside the head, the rest of the women either shook their heads or hid their children's eyes. Mousse gaped and Shampoo finally got a clue. Aiyaa! Kon Di! Conditioner looked around and started blushing.

Shampoo started shoving her up the stairs. [What am I going to do with you?] Conditioner sighed. [I'm sorry Xian Pu, I'm not used to this.] They reached Shampoo's room and Conditioner unpacked the clothes she had brought. [Aiyaa, is that all you brought? Robes?] Conditioner chose to ignore this comment as she got dressed. [Honestly, Kon Di, if you're going to stay in Nerima you'd better learn how to act!]

Conditioner looked at Shampoo. [Could you show me?] Shampoo thought for a moment. [All right, I guess we should catch up on some things...] [Yes! Yes! And Muu-Tsu can come with us!] Shampoo growled, but stopped as she noticed that Conditioner was about to start crying again. [All right, Muu-Tsu can come too.] [HOORAY!]

A/N-Mwahahahahaha, what a wonderful way to end the chapter! Well, this chapter was kind of just here to emphasize their childhood. I'm going on a trip for a couple of days, so I posted this chapter now. Enjoy! PLEASE review! Pretty please?
