Wow, I guess I can tell what many people are thinking right now.

Previous Chapter...
Koushiro's head, popped into the door frame. "Hey, Iori got us lunch, come out and get it you two."
"Coming," said the two in unison.
As the two came out, the door to the big room opened to reveal two women...
Chapter 7 Unexpected Creeps
One of the women had waist length black hair with red highlights. The woman was not too tall, yet not too small. She had crimson eyes that seemed to have fire flaming in them. She was wearing a silky white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. The skirt she was wearing was up to her knees and was as black as pitch darkness. She was wearing black high heeled shoes with a strap above the toes and another around her ankle. (These shoes you would never catch me wearing.) Hanging from a strap on the black skirt was the chain that was connected to her ID, which read Jasmine Oshiro. Jasmine was also holding a black cylinder purse that had red outlines on the black background of the flaming image. (You will also never catch me holding!) This woman looked very outgoing.
The woman next to her was around half a head shorter than Jasmine. She looked very shy and she seemed to be having a habit of pushing her rimless glasses up her nose. Her sapphire eyes shown sign of quiet happiness that would be shared alone because of her shyness. Her shoulder length brown hair tickled her shoulders as the fan near them blew strongly. She was wearing a dark green sleeveless turtleneck with a pair of jeans to match. She was wearing regular white sneakers. Around her neck was a red string that held her ID, which read Belle Sato.
Noticing Daisuke's, Ryo's, and Tai's mouths dropping too low at the site of Jasmine, Jyou cleared his throat. "I am Jyou, the head of this um, group of idiots, and may I ask why you two are here?"
Jasmine smiled. "We are your newest members to your group."
Jyou raised an eyebrow. "But Mina-san and Serena-san is our newest members, not unless you are the late applicants."
"Yes, we are," said Jasmine, eyeing Belle with disgust since in her eyes Belle looked 'ugly' and shouldn't be part of the we. (Haven't anyone told her the outside looks isn't important but what's in the inside does??!)
Jyou sighed. "Very well, you two can take the remaining seats at the same spot as Mina and Yamato."
Yamato spit out of his ice tea drink, and it went splat on Daisuke's face, who he had been talking to. "NANI?!"
Jyou turned around to face Yamato. "Yes?"
"Okay, I'm stuck with Takagawa, now I'm stuck with stuck up angel and I'm-too-shy angel?!"
Jyou covered his ears as Matt yelled this out loud. He put his hands by his sides when Matt was done. "Yes, so you better learn to cooperate, before I report this to Takuya on your inappropriate behavior, especially towards the opposite sex."
"But-"
"No buts, and those other words you want to use in your verbal fight, now everyone chop chop let's get to work on researching on that Red Dragons member," said Jyou climbing the stairs to his office. On the way he said, "Mina and Yamato, please help out the newbies of our team."
When Jyou reached his office, he slammed the door.
Belle sat next to Yamato as Jasmine took the desk next to Mimi.
Jasmine put her feet on the table. "So what do we have to do?"
"Research," muttered Yamato.
Jasmine scoffed as Belle stared puzzled at Yamato.
"Research on what?" asked Belle, staring sideways at Yamato.
If you can see the scene right now, Yamato would have a great big plus sign on his forehead. He turned to Belle. "Didn't you hear what Jyou said before?! Research on the remaining Red Dragons member!"
Belle didn't look shocked at Yamato's temper and turned back to the monitor screen on her desk. Blushing, she said, "Oh, okay."
Matt turned back to his desk, and saw in front of him was Mimi smirking. "What do you want?!"
Mimi looked innocent. "Oh, nothing, it's just I believe you need hospital attention immediately."
"Screw you, Takagawa," hissed Matt, typing furiously on his keyboard.
"Back at ya," said Mimi.
Jasmine stared between the two. "Are you two enemies or something?"
"Yes," said the two in unison as they glared at each other.
"Oh, well, uh, Matt-kun," cooed Jasmine, grinning.
Matt looked up, ready to throw his blue pencil holder at Jasmine. "Yes?!"
"Did you know you look hot when you get angry?" said Jasmine.
"Oh shut up, you bitch," said Matt, staring back at the computer screen.
Before Jasmine could insult back, there was a huge commotion at Tai's area.
The four looked up to see Tai and Daisuke standing at Ryo's desk, where the last box of bakery food was left for lunch.
Tai and Daisuke glared at each other.
Ryo waved his hand between the two's faces. "Okay, can we get to the competition already?"
"Yeah," said the two in unison while still glaring.
Ryo smiled and yelled for only the others can hear except Jyou. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the best competition of them all...the eating race!!"
Rika smacked her forehead. "What are you doing, Ryo?!"
Ryo smiled at Rika. "Why, being the commentator of the best race there ever was!! It's between Tai and Daisuke everyone!!"
All the girls, Iori, Ken, and Matt stared, wanting to grab a stick or a pitchfork and stab the three with it.
"It's no time to fool around," said Areina, as Takeru took out half of the food in the red and white box and put half of what he took out on one white paper plate, and the remaining on another plate.
"What is there to worry about, I mean it's not like the Red Dragons member is in here right now," said Ryo.
Wow did he just become a psychic?
Tai and Daisuke each took a plate and out of nowhere, Ryo got out a black stopwatch.
Ryo, in an announcer's voice, said, "And the race begins in three...two...one...go!"
Tai and Daisuke started cramming food into their mouths like pigs.
Areina and Rika, who were the closest, stared disgustedly at the two.
Daisuke was the first to finish, since Tai was choking a little bit.
When Daisuke finished, his mouth was covered with egg cream filling, as he said, "Iph with!" As he said that, chewed and mucky pieces of bread flew out and landed on Ryo's face.
"Yo, watch it!" said Ryo, wiping his face with his hand.
"Sorphy," said Daisuke, still chewing.
Tai, finally getting the piece of honeydew ball down his throat screamed, "That wasn't fair, and I was choking! People should care for the person that's about to die, and in that case, it was me!!"
"Aww, how sad, little Tai can't chew and swallow," said Miyako, sarcastically.
"Shut up!" said Tai.
Daisuke wiped his mouth and said, "So, who wants to go against me?"
Sora scoffed.
Ryo turned to Sora. "And we have a volunteer! Go get him, tiger!"
Everyone turned to Sora, shocked.
Sora, realizing Ryo was talking about her, pointed to herself. "Me?"
"Yeah, you make a sound or do something that catches my attention and that will mean you're volunteering!" said Ryo, clapping his hands while holding onto the black stopwatch.
Sora's shoulders drooped.
"Show them what women are made of!" said Miyako, pumping her fist into the air.
"Yeah, beat him so he can cry for a whole day!" said Hikari, smiling.
Daisuke's face became a shocked one. 'Even Hikari is against me!! NOOOO!!'
"I don't see you guys volunteering," muttered Sora, as more and more of the girls started cheering for her.
Takeru gave Daisuke a plate of delicious desserts and the same for Sora.
"You may be older than me, and I should respect my elders, but I'm not going to let you win!" said Daisuke, pumping his fist into the air.
Sora raised an eyebrow. "Whatever, I just want to get this over with so I get back to doing work."
"Whatever, I'm going to beat you and all you girls cry when you lose so I can't wait 'til you cry!!" said Daisuke, smirking.
Sora's eyes narrowed. 'Note to self, when I become a thief again, I must rob his house and then kill him.'
"I'm also going to win this for you, Hikari!!" said Daisuke.
Hikari and Takeru each raised an eyebrow.
Miyako leaned over to Hikari and whispered in her ear, "I think he likes you."
"No you think?" asked Hikari, trying not to imagine what Daisuke will say next to her.
"Okay, ready?" asked Ryo, holding out his stopwatch.
The two nodded.
Ryo said, "Three...two...one...GO!!" He clicked on his stopwatch.
Daisuke and Sora began stuffing food into their mouths, except Sora was a lot cleaner by grabbing only the non-creamy parts and not spreading it across her mouth like Daisuke was doing.
Daisuke's face began turning blue as he stuffed way too much cream puffs into his mouth, which was choking him.
Sora won, and dropped the plate on Ryo's desk. She took a napkin and wiped her mouth even though there were only a few bread crumbs.
"And Serena is the winner!" said Ryo.
Daisuke finally swallowed all the chewed up cream puffs stuck in his mouth and whined, "What??!" screamed Daisuke, spitting leftovers of the cream puffs at Ryo. "I was choking!!"
"Welcome to the club," muttered Tai.
Jyou came out of his office and went over to the metal railing, looking down. "What is going on down there?!"
Ryo and Daisuke quickly sat on top of all the food on Ryo's desk.
"Nothing," said Tai.
"Just chatting," said Takeru, looking up at their boss.
"There's a lady villain on the loose and you guys are just sitting here chatting?!" screamed Jyou. "Get back to work!! NOW!!"
"What's up his-"began Tai.
"Please, no more perverted words," said Areina.
Crystal's Fortune Shop Evening 7:45 PM
(Okay, let's make believe Matt's grandma lives there and own a fortune shop.)
Wanting to get some advice on how to make women look ugly to Tai from his grandma, since she hates him for his slowness, Matt pushed open the front door to the shop and the bells on top of the door rang.
When you just enter, you can see it decorated with anything that involves fortune telling, from colorful stars to anything that you would name. (Yeah I suck at these descriptions.) It gave off an ominous feeling and a perfume scent. In the center, on top of a rug that has a yellow star on a blue background was a wooden table covered with a blue background star and moon decorated tablecloth, with two wooden chairs on one side of the table and one across. On the table was a crystal ball and a deck of fortune telling cards.
"Grandma?" asked Matt, in a speaker voice.
"I'm in the back!" screamed back a soft, yet loud voice.
Matt was about to go to the back when he heard the bells ringing on top of the teal front door.
"Damn it, this door is stuck!!" said an awfully familiar male voice.
'Shit, it's Tai!,' thought Matt. 'Hmm, what the hell is he doing here anyway?!'
"Finally, stupid door," said Tai, as the door opened wider and his wild brown hair came into appearance.
Thinking quick Matt quickly grabbed a nearby blanket, flung it over his head, and put on his blue sunglasses. He sat on the chair that faced the door. He might as well show his fortune telling skills that he had learned from his grandma. Let's see how well the bad boy Matt can do.
"Ah, you've come to my v-onderful fortune telling shop, Tai," said Matt, trying to make his voice sound like his grandma.
Tai snorted as he went towards the table. "Yup, coming for the usual week visit, I want to know about my love life this time though." He sat down on one of the seats across from Matt. "Cool shades, Crystal."
"Ah, you noticed, anyway onto seeing your future love life?" asked Matt, grabbing the fortune cards, and shuffling them. He put them on the table with the back facing them, and he spread the cards apart a little. "Okay, pick three cards." (I don't know how this goes, so go along, lol I watched so many movies with these sorts of things and I still don't remember, that's so sad.)
Tai picked three cards, one of a woman that seemed to be dying which read TORTURE underneath, a woman that seemed to be dancing with the word JOY underneath, and last but not least an angry woman with the word STORMY underneath the picture.
Matt rubbed his chin and smirked.
Tai gulped. "So...?"
"Can you guess what these torture means for you?" asked Matt, glancing at his friend.
"Um, dungeons and beheading?" asked Tai, staring at the woman on the card that seemed to be having chains clinging to her.
"Tai, do you watch scary movies at night at the time when your friends tells you to go to sleep or you'll have nightmares?" asked Matt, remembering Koushiro's loud screaming telling Tai to go to sleep.
Tai nodded vigorously. "How did you know, Crystal?"
Matt smirked. "I do own a fortune telling shop, right?"
"Oh yeah," said Tai, now remembering.
"Try joy," ordered Matt, staring at Tai.
Tai looked at the Joy card.
"Well?" asked Matt.
"If that woman was real, I'd want to..."
"Tai, be serious for once, no hokey pokey!"
"Oh, yeah, well, um, I'll be happy?" asked Tai.
Matt rolled his eyes. "Of course."
Tai jumped out of his seat and began dancing. "Go Tai, it's your birthday, uh huh, go me! I got one right!"
"Sit down, boy!"
"Yes, m'am," said Tai, plopping back onto the seat.
"Now try stormy," said Matt, glancing at the card himself.
"It'll rain?" asked Tai.
Matt smacked his forehead. "Want me to tell you everything?"
"Sure, I won't need to think, thinking is so hard."
Matt rolled his eyes and then said, "Torture means this soul mate of yours have tortured you many times before. Joy means that when the time is right, you and her will finally realized they're the happiest around you. Stormy means that your relationship will have a fifty fifty of lasting and of breaking apart. Combine them and think of whom it might be your soul mate."
For once Tai began to be serious and think. Then it just hit him...
Flashbacks...
"Of course, I'm not!" screamed Tai. "I died! I'm suppose to be a freakin' ghost if you didn't die and I'm talking to you!"
"Tai, listen to me!" screamed Sora, grabbing Tai's arms and began shaking him. "You did not die for the last time! You are alive!"
"Oh gosh, is that an earthworm?" asked Sora, looking at it. "I wonder what it is doing in a building. This place must be dirty."
"EARTHWORM?!" screamed Tai, backing away, but tripped and fell back down.
Sora looked down. "Tai, are you okay?"
"Yeah," said Tai. "Where is that earthworm?"
Sora looked back down at the ground. "It's gone."
"Good."
Sora saw something brown sticking out from the back of Tai's pants. "Uh, Tai, did you fall on poop?"
"No, why?"
"Look," said Sora, pointing at the brown thing.
Tai looked at it and saw it wiggling. "Earthworm!" He quickly got up and starting shaking his leg back and forth until it finally got off of him and went flying to an unknown area.
"Okay, Tai, stop shaking," said Sora. "It's off of you."
"BUBBLES!!" screamed Tai, pushing Sora aside as he dropped the spray bottle onto the floor.
"Bubbles?" asked Sora.
Tai took out the plant which was now filled with other garbage. "Bubbles! How can you do this to Bubbles?!"
End Flashback...
"Serena!" screamed Tai. "Oh my gosh, she's my bad luck charm?!!" He began jumping up and down, making Matt smack his forehead.
Far Away from the shop...
Out of the shadows appeared Anna. She bowed. "How was your day, Mistress?"
"Wonderful, I think I'm taking a liking for that Ishida cop," was the reply...
TBC...who's the mistress? Miss Outgoing or Miss Innocent?...Find out in Chapter 8 of Watch Me Shine...
I'll try to uh think of an idea for next chapter and update early before school starts, but if not and I thought up an idea for my other fics I'll update them early. So until next time! Remember the formula!!
