Chapter 9
Ryoga walked by Ucchan's okonomiyaki. Seeing a familiar landmark, he smiled (with those cut little fangs! ^^) and attempted to walk into the restaurant. We all know Ryoga, so I needn't say more than that he ended up in the Cat Cafe. And by some ironic twist of fate, Ukyo was there.
Hey, Ukyo! Ryoga walked over and sat down. Where's Aka- He was cut off by Mousse. What would you like? Our special today is... Mousse trailed off and pushed his glasses up. Oh, Ryoga. You found your way home? Congratulations. Ryoga shrugged and placed his order, causing Mousse to trudge over to the kitchen.
Ryoga watched Mousse leave before turning back to Ukyo. So what are you doing here? Ukyo was looking at where Mousse had been standing with a concerned look on her face. Wha? Oh, I came because of him. He's worrying me! I mean, he's lost his usual vigor. Come on, don't tell me you didn't notice, Ryoga?
Ryoga sighed and reality struck. He still hasn't found Conditioner? Ukyo nodded sadly. Everyone's so worried! He hasn't even been harassing Shampoo! Ryoga's eyes widened in awe. Ukyo nodded again. Sad, isn't it? I wonder what happened to her...........
~~~~~~~~~~2 weeks earlier, alleyway, Tokyo~~~~~~~~~~~
Conditioner stood up, grasping Ku-kun's hand. She shivered. It had suddenly gotten cold when her clothes ripped. [Here.] He tossed her his trench coat. She looked up, but seemingly he had materialized another trench coat for himself. (sorcerers, go figure) *Oh well, I might as well go with him, its not like I have a choice..* [Hey.] Conditioner looked up. [Hold on tight.] Before she could reply, she was screaming, clutching his coat as they were sucked into a giant abyss that had appeared right where they had been standing.
~~~~~Kurai bakari otoko Tsuyogari's lair~~~~~
Kon Di opened her eyes to reveal a huge underground structure. Her mouth went slack in wonder. The ceiling was so huge you couldn't see the top. There appeared to be a huge vat of something over in the corner. It was almost like a cavern, but you could tell by the perfect shape that something had carved it. It looked like there were doors too, as if there were separate rooms. [You like it?] She jumped, startled. She had almost forgotten he was there.
[It...it's okay...] Ku-kun smiled. *All right, now to gain her trust* [All right then, Kon Di, how about we get you a change of clothes?] He snapped his fingers and some of her robes were in front of her. Smiling, he pointed to a door at the back of the main room. Once again she stuck her tongue out at him before running off to her room.
A while later she came out, and Ku-kun was sitting at a table waiting for her. He had set it with all of her favorite foods. [How did you know...] Once again, he gave her that sadistic smile. [I see all, I hear all, I know all.] She rolled her eyes and sat down digging in. It was only a matter of seconds before she spat it all over him. [You jerk! If you know all' you should have KNOWN I was allergic to that!!!] Ku-kun gave her an incredulous look, a piece of ramen hanging from his nose. [Bu...but...I...I thought...] She stuck her tongue out again. Kurai baka!
Kurai scowled at her. But then he remembered his plan. *Keep your cool, Ku-kun, you've gotta do this right. It should be entertaining...* He grit his teeth as Conditioner kept spitting food on him. spit spit.
They went on like this for two weeks.
~~~~~~~~~Present~~~~~~~~~
[Kon Di Xian Ur! Your food is ready!] Kon Di bounced into the room. It was fun staying here! This guy was so stupid! *I do miss Muu Tsu though...* She lost a little bounce, but arrived at the table no less. [Here ya go, I made takoyaki!] Ku-kun was all smiles. When it came to cooking, well, he was no Akane. Ku-kun prided himself on his food. *I'm the best, I'm the best, my food is good! My food is good!* He hummed his little song in his head as he handed the plate to Kon Di.
Conditioner got an evil smile. *hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe* She smiled back at him, popped the food in his mouth, chewed it up well, and spat it all over the place. [Nasty! You call this food?! God Ku-kun, you suck!] That was the last straw. *Oh well, I was gonna screw her life up today anyway.* [That's it Kon Di! You know what? I hated you all along! HA! I'm an all powerful sorcerer! You actually thought I'd be KIND and HOSPITABLE to a mortal? Don't make me laugh! You're gonna pay for that! That was quality takoyaki and you know it!]
Kon Di was shocked for a minute. He wasn't just a random idiot? She smiled again. *Well, he may be evil, but he's still stupid. Watch this.* [Ku-kun?] [Yes? :)] Conditioner gave him the cutest face she could muster. [Could I write a letter to someone first? Pretty please?] Ku-kun thought about it for a minute.[Well, you said please...why not?] [YAY!]
Kon Di sat down with her stationary. *Hmmmm, I bet they're all still mad at me. There's no way they'd rescue me! Wait! I have an idea!* And so, Conditioner wrote a letter to Mousse, without signing it.
~~~~~~~~Nerima, Tokyo~~~~~~~~
Mousse swept up the dirty floor of the Cat Cafe. Cologne hopped in on her annoying pogo stick/cane. Mousse! You have mail! Mousse looked up. He took the envelope. Hey Shampoo! The Amazon bounded in. You need Shampoo, duck-boy? Mousse nodded. Could you read this aloud to me? Shampoo took the letter.
Aiyaa! It in Chinese!: [To whom it may concern, we have discovered a cure for all Jusenkyo curses. You can be normal! Never will you have to transform again! Just come to the address on the front of this letter and resc- I mean get your cure! See you there!]
Mousse looked up excitedly. Is that really what it said? Shampoo got horseshoe eyes. Yes! And now Ranma will love Shampoo! We go tell him, yes?
Soon, every cursed person in Nerima was prepared to go get their cure.
Next time: Ranma, Shampoo, Mousse, Ryoga, Genma, and Pantyhose Taro show up at Ku-kuns lair! Why? Because Ku-kun's an idiot and he let Kon Di write a letter! ^_^
A/N-taa da!! I UPDATED!!! Hooray! Sorry about the long wait, I had strep throat and a research paper due. I hope no one gave up on me!
Pantyhose Taro: Maybe they did, you suck.
Ku-kun: Pantyhose Taro? I haven't seen you in years buddy!
Pantyhose Taro: NO! My name is....Awsome Taro! I missed ya Ku-kun!
*the two hug*
Mousse, Shampoo, and Kon Di: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
