Bloody Roar

The Annoying Trip: So Long, Japan! Hello, New York!

Chapter 2
Get All Set?

"Hello, Uriko? This is me. Yeah. Guess what? Yugo won Lotto. Pardon? The prize? Oh. 5,000,000¥."

"WOOOOOOWW!!!! REALLY!!?????" came the reply. I shouldn't have said that, thought Kenji. The brown-haired girl laughed from the other side of the line. She was at Shina's mansion (the Gados' mansion) and playing Monopoly with Uranus and Cronos, which was why she hadn't heard the news from Alice. Shina herself couldn't be bothered playing with them, so she just let them borrow it while she read a Sherlock Holmes book. Ganesha was reading an Indian History book by the shelves.

"Have you told the others about it?" asked Uriko, while the others were waiting for her move.

"Yes. Yugo spent two hours calling all his boxer friends and the people in W.O.C. So yeah," Kenji giggled as he heard Uranus was yelling at Uriko, impatient in waiting for her turn.

"Goody!! Are we having a vacation?"

"Err... maybe."

In Long's chamber

"Hmm. I sensed something strange. Something that is not good, but not bad, either. Hmm, I wonder what it is. And something tells me it relates with a close friend of mine. Could it be something to do with Shenlong? No way. He is close to me, but not a friend of mine. He is more like a rival. Maybe..." He walked outside and saw a figure running up the mountain. "Huh?"

"YES!! Master, we are going on a vacation!!!" cried Uriko, panting but far more excited.

"I beg your pardon?" asked Long to his favorite pupil.

"WE ARE GOING ON A VACATION!!!!" Uriko screamed right in his ear. Long would have fainted, if he wasn't a hermit and practiced some defense skills. He grabbed her shoulder and sighed.

"I thought I've taught you to calm down in every situation. Patience is more important than anything else." Uriko smiled playfully and hugged her master.

"I'm sooo sorry Master. I AM JUST TOO EXCITED!!!!" Long was puzzled but kept himself cool.

"And may I ask, what is this vacation that you mean?" He had never seen her pupil being so excited before.

"Yugo just won Lotto and he said that he will take us, the gang, to a vacation overseas." Long frowned but stood still.

"Okay. So... when are we going?" Uriko tried to memorize and finally got it.

"In two days." She winked.

In Narita Airport

"Where is Cronos?????!!!" yelled Yugo, looking at the clock. 8:32AM.The rest of the gang shrugged. They had been waiting for 36 minutes for Cronos to show up.

"I thought Ganesha would have woken him up," said Jenny, yawning. Shina poked her ribs. "Ouch!!"

"Yeah. Ganesha is more responsible isn't he? Such a good old man," said Alice. Uriko and Kenji nodded. Uranus was busy ordering some snacks.

"So... one cheeseburger and a lemon tea?" asked the lady at the counter.

"Uhuh. Oh, and don't forget to add lots of meat, okay?"

"Okay. Do you want some pickled cucumbers, too?"

"Nah. I prefer turnips, mustard and sesame seeds."

23 minutes later, our prince showed up. His right-hand, of course, was busy holding all the suitcases and bags. Gado helped him bringing the things.

"Have you guys been waiting? Sorry. You see, I was overslept until 8, so I had to hurry a bit and not to mention how long I took to comb my blonde hair and some..." Dr. Steven Goldberg (a.k.a. Stun) cut him off.

"Okay, okay, Cronos. We get the picture." He took out a bag full of sleeping pills. He grinned. "Heh, heh. Just in case anybody couldn't sleep properly." The others were looking at him as if he was a nerd or something.

Cronos kissed Uriko's hand. "Have you been waiting for me, my..." But unfortunately he couldn't finish the sentence because Alice and Kenji were knocking him out. Ganesha was busy talking with the others, so he didn't hear Cronos crying for help. Yugo and Long were arguing about which is the best, boxing or kungfu.

"It's boxing, you dumbass!!"

"I believe it's the Xin-yi kungfu I inherited from my ancestors."

"You idiot!! IT IS BOXING!!!" "Kungfu, Yugo."

"BOXING!!!" "KUNGFU." And they just went on and on until Gado stood in between them and told them to stop. "Ahem." He gave them a Look. They stopped.

"Ouchies... You guys are so mean," scowled Cronos after Alice and Kenji kicked him hard on the chest. He put his hand on Uriko's shoulder. Kenji glared at him, but Cronos pretended not to see it. Then he smiled. Uriko just blushed.

"Umm... are we all set?" asked Shina, looking at the others. Stun nodded.

'I suppose," he said. Yugo slapped Long on the back and shouted.

'THEN LET'S GO!!!"
