Chapter 5: Deceiving Ads and Pesky Phones Calls
Kuririn softly landed on sandy beach returning from his flight to the mainland. The tide was just barley nudging at his heals as he headed into the small, secluded, pink house. He had gone to the mainland to get the local newspaper and the daily mail.
He laid the mail on the kitchen table for the Turtle Hermit to see then sauntered into the living where he sat on the on the soft, cozy coach. Kuririn hadn't seen Juuhachigou anywhere and figured that she must be upstairs keeping to herself in solitude in her room. He concluded that she wouldn't be down anytime soon and opened up the pages of the newspaper. There wasn't much in the paper that he would really read. Just the comics, sports configurations and to see what 'odd' advertisements and classified ads that people would post in the paper.
He started reading some of the ads and soon enough found some rather 'odd' ones.
For sale: antique desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large drawers.
Used Cars: Why go elsewhere to be cheated. Come here first.

There was one ad that specifically caught his eye. Are you a beautiful young woman looking for a handsome young man? That just do happens to be good-looking fellow with a physique body and lives on a tropical island! If you have any interest please call this number.
The advertisement then listed the phone number. Kuririn looked over the number and realized something. It's our phone number!

Master Roshi walked through the door carrying a new supply of 'magazines'. He was ecstatic about his findings and hurried into the living room to 'read'.
"Can I talk to you for a second?" Master Roshi grunted, peeved by the interruption of his precious 'reading' time. He turned to see Kuririn walking into the room towards him holding a newspaper.
"I found this ad in the paper and I wondered if you had anything to do with it." Kuririn handed him the paper and pointed out what he was talking about.
A sly grin appeared across the old man's face. Kuririn's brows furrowed in curiosity at the other man's gesture and gave him a scrupulous glance.
"If you were wondering if I was the one who put this advertisement in here then you were right. I figured that maybe I could attract some beautiful ladies for myself! Then Yamcha told me about your little bet going on and I figured that if it worked then both of us could benefit from it!"
"I don't think this is a very good idea." Kuririn stated trying to get his point across to the old, lecherous man.
"Humph! Well I think you're just jealous because I thought up this idea and you didn't!" Master Roshi crossed his arms in a childish manner.
"No, I'm not really jealous especially considering most of the things listed in your advertisement here aren't true!"
"I wouldn't exactly say they were untrue but slightly exaggerated." Master Roshi exclaimed matter-of-factly. Kuririn decided not to argue with him anymore. He figured nothing would happen and soon the situation would be forgotten.

Juuhachigou was peacefully lying on her bed doing nothing but stare at the ceiling. It seemed to her that was the only thing she did lately besides training or having a small talk with Kuririn in which he did most of the talking.
She sighed then stood up and started making her way into the empty kitchen. The phone suddenly rang. Being the closest at the moment she steadily picked it up.
"Hello?" Juuhachigou patiently waited for the person to answer.
"Oh hi!" The voice seemed giggly and intemperately vivacious. "I saw that advertisement in the newspaper and I was wondering if..."
"I really don't know what you're talking about." Juuhachigou rudely interrupted before hanging up the phone and taking a seat at the kitchen table. Not too long later the phone rang once more. Despite her wishes to answer the stupid phone she did anyway.
"What!?" Juuhachigou answered impolitely.
"I have some questions about that advertisement." Juuhachigou could barely understand what the girl was saying because of the loud chewing of what she thought was gum. Hearing only the word "advertisement" she immediately hung up the phone not caring about the person on the other line.
It took about ten minutes before the phone rang once again. An immensely peeved Juuhachigou answered the phone once more. "What the fuck do you want!?"
"Gee, what's your problem lady." A sarcastic, fruity, male voice answered. "Anywho, I was wondering about that advertisement in the newspaper. That man sounds so incredibly luscious...."
Juuhachigou didn't even bother to finish listening. The next time the phone would ring she would blow it into smithereens which was exactly what happened.
~*~
Juuhachigou decided that since there was nothing else to do she would start training. She had put on a red tank top and a baggy pair of sweat pants. She put her hair in a tight ponytail then headed outside. While in the middle of her stretches she could feel Kuririn's ki coming nearer. I didn't know he left.
She stopped a moment as Kuririn landed onto the sand. "Hey Juuhachigou!" Kuririn walked toward her with his usual goofy grin.
"Hey." Juuhachigou said back with her usual unenthusiastic, monotone voice. Though a faint blush crept onto her face from his lopsided smile that she almost would consider "cute".
"Did anyone call for me while I was gone?" Kuririn asked curiously.
Juuhachigou snorted thinking back earlier with the pesky phone calls. "I don't know if they were for you but I kept getting calls about some ad they say in a newspaper. It was two girl and a guy."
The eavesdropping old man poked his head out the window and yelled, "Ha Ha, Kuririn, I told you it would work!"
