Chapter 3:

Garden of Lies

Hou Long wiped her eyes of any tears left and straightened. "I'm ready Jin Long. Let's do this."

Jin Long kissed her forehead. "Just remember: no matter what, I'm here for you."

Hou Long gave a cheerful smile. "I know."

Jin Long threw open the doors and bowed her in. "My lord and lady gods and goddesses, Long Wang, I present you with Her Lady Hou Long."

Hou Long proudly walked in the room, noticing that her chair candles were unlit. "Bakas." She waved her hand elegantly and the candles burst into merry flames.

The god and goddesses clapped. "She is as powerful as they say." "Truly magnificent." "I wouldn't mind a good roll with her in bed."

Hou Long noted this last comment and waved her hand once more, lighting the god on fire as she innocently looked out of the window into Mu Long's garden. "I trust that your trip was....enjoyable?"

Ao Jun cleared his throat. "Hou Long.....Watch it."

"I can't help it my Lord. He was being dishonorable." Hou Long investigated her golden fingernails.

Ao Chi'in applauded. "Let the girl have her say. It won't matter much."

Hou Long snarled. "What are you talking about?!?!?!"

Ao Kuang grinned and snaked his long blue body around Hou Long. "You're the most destructive Long."

Hou Long snarled and changed into a massive dragon. She bit deep into Ao Kuang's spine, letting the bluish blood stain the carpet. "I won't."

Ao Shun gave her a dragon kiss. "You'll be marrying a god, you'll be happy to know."

Hou Long snarled. "It doesn't matter. We're shape shifters by nature!"

The Long Wang twined around each other, forcing Hou Long to change back into a human. "But you are more comfortable as a human female. Accept your fate."

Hou Long changed into a golden eagle and flew off to Jin Long and her mortal guests.

-------Jin Long's Armory

"So how did you die Jin Long?" Goyjo tested an interesting shakujo Jin Long had asked him to test, as having no experience with the weapon.

Jin Long smiled. "I fell in love with the wrong woman. She was gorgeous. She was perfect. Then I met her perfect husband. While I was still in bed with this woman. He cut my head off with a long sword."

Hakkai winced. "Not very pleasant."

Sanzo growled. "And I suppose you have a talent for luring women who already have guys?"

Jin Long laughed. "Hou Long is my mother. As a human Even for me it's complicated. Viviane can deal with it.....but I'm more fragile."

Hou Long flew in and shifted back into her human self. "Not as complicated as this marriage idea of mine."

Jin Long kissed her forehead. "It could be worse."

Hou Long ripped his arm off. "No it couldn't Walter."

Sanzo perked a brow. "Do you do that often?"

Hou Long rolled her eyes. "Put yourself back together."

Jin Long saluted with his remaining arm. "Yes ma'am!"

Hou Long conjured a chair of fire. "Damn it's cold in here. Do you even heat this place?"

Jin Long popped his arm back on and healed himself. "It's at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit."

Hou Long shivered. "No wonder." She tested the golden staff Jin Long proffered to her. She twirled it around, letting her skirt fly up. "Not bad Walter. The Myrmidons will like it."

Jin Long bowed. "So what's the bad news?"

Hou Long perked her head as if listening to something. Her eyes glazed over and she nodded, walking off talking animatedly in a foreign language, as if speaking to a shorter creature.

Jin Long shook his head. "She'll tell us later. Oy! Give Padre a kick up his keyster for meh!"

Sanzo perked a brow and scratched his head with his dragon arm. "Did I miss something here?"

A large crashing sound could be heard from the direction Hou Long had traveled in. Hou Long came quickly back around the corner, golden blood coursing down her left thigh. "Jin Long. You have some visitors. Deal with them before I do."

Jin Long winced as Hou Long pulled up her dress edge, revealing a nasty wound on her hip. "Armed?"

Hou Long made a face as she healed herself. "They qualify under your jurisdiction. But, if they turn on those plasma weapons, they're mine."

Jin Long changed into an old man. "Maybe the young should do it...."

Hou Long kicked him across the room towards the 'guests'. "Move it loser!"

Jin Long stuck his tongue out as he flew across the room. "I'll get you for this!"

Hou Long flicked the birdy. "Kiss my ass loser!"

Jin Long winced as he was shot in the heart by a plasma dart. "Your game...."

Hou Long cracked her knuckles. "Oh I pity you poor souls." As she cracked out her dragon claws on one arm and her elbow spike on the other, she rolled her head on her shoulders and let massive horns grow in her golden hair. "Here's Vivi!"

A battle scarred version of Sanzo, complete with punk rocker hair, tried to punch her in her fanged face. "Kenren! Hit her now!"

"Hell yeah!" A short haired Goyjo tackled Hou Long, and injected her with a massive evil needle. "Got her!"

Goku pointed. "Hey Sanzo! It's you!"

Hou Long's eyes rolled up in her head as she changed to a pure controlled version of herself, blonde hair, blue doe eyes, long pale white fingers, and her face shriveled up a bit, exposing her long fangs. "Kenren.....Konzen......Kill.....Them.....Long.....Wang..."

The punk version of Kenren kicked her mercilessly in the stomach. "Oh shut up. I went through hell to get here and all you have to say is kill them? Oh you are just so nice!"

Sanzo and Goyjo rolled up their idiom sleeves. "Bring it imitating bastards!"

Kenren and Konzen flexed their muscles, Konzen giving an evil grin. "We'd love to."

Jin Long came back in the room, closely followed by Mu Long, Shui Long, and Tu Long. Tu Long was a beautiful woman who looked like Earthy from Card Captor Sakura. If you don't know what that looks like, Google it. Images: Cardcaptor Sakura, look for the section of 3 by 3...long things that resemble Tarot cards, then click the image, and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. The cards in question are called Clow Cards. You should get the right one if you see The Twins, The Dark, The Earthy, the Cloud, The Sand, and The Dream. The cards are in a semi color state. Shui Long just looks like: If image does not show, ask me later so I can e-mail it to you. Tu Long and Shui Long sighed as they messed with their respective elements to create a ditch filled with water around the newcomers. Mu Long and Jin Long kept a respectful watch on Goku, Goyjo, and Sanzo.

Konzen and Kenren simply hoisted Hou Long onto their shoulders and Konzen held his hand out as if he was in pain. "Codex of Long, take me back to where I belong!"

Tu Long sighed as the three disintegrated into whichever dimension they originally came from. "Oh great. I thought I told you to destroy the Codex of Long. Now we have to shift through some thirty odd million universes to find the exact Konzen we need. Great."

Shui Long laughed hysterically. "Now we can get a better Hou Long!"

Tu Long grabbed her by the throat and strangled her. "YOU IDIOT!!!! She was the only one who was still human enough to show emotion! Thus, she was the only one capable of marrying THAT god!!!"

Sanzo's eyebrow perked up. "Vivi's getting married?"

Kanzeon chose this point in time to pop in. "Why is the Hou Long suddenly passing her powers on to her other selves?"

Jin Long sat down on the ground. "Elaborate and I shall explain this phenomenon."

Kanzeon smacked her forehead. "Every single Viviane under my observation has suddenly developed pyrokinesis overnight. One Viviane in particular has an.....overabundant...amount of power. Vain! Come!"

A fiery portal appeared in the dimensional wall of the Long world. Out of it, a black haired, cat eyed, scantily clad thief version of Viviane took a running jump through, closely followed by numerous bullets. This Viviane, apparently called Vain pulled out a long set of knives from their holster across her thin waist and spun them around expertly, using them to flick the bullets harmlessly into the walls, narrowly avoiding some of her audience. She bowed to Kanzeon, making a rapid series of finger movements.

Kanzeon smiled. "Understandable Vain. Vain, this is Tu Long, Jin Long, Mu Long, Goku, Goyjo, Hakkai, and Genjo Sanzo."

Vain's eyes bugged out and she did an even faster finger pattern.

Kanzeon sighed. "No relation to anyone in your dimension. This is one of the core dimensions of the universes. The only place where you can cross over to anywhere and when you choose. Understand?"

Vain nodded and sat cross legged on the floor, blades at the ready. She moved her fingers lazily in yet another pattern.

Kanzeon pulled her up. "Now is not the time to be ignorant. If you haven't guessed yet, Vain has lost her ability to speak. Care to show them why Vain?"

Vain made a noise like a sigh and opened her mouth. It could be seen that her tongue had been cut out.

Goku recoiled. "Gross!"

Goyjo nodded. "It'd be rude to say cat got your tongue wouldn't it?"

Vain smiled prettily and made another finger movement.

Kanzeon laughed. "She says: 'Actually, the cat did get my tongue.' Vain, if you help us find someone, we'll see if your tongue is regrowable."

Tu Long and Mu Long looked at each other and forced open Vain's jaw. Tu Long clucked. "This is doable, with much pain on your part. How bad do you want this?"

Vain flipped her knives around, showing her skill. Then she snapped her knives in half over her knee.

Jin Long whistled. "Damn. That bad huh?"

Mu Long waved his hand and a chair grew out of the floor. "Have a seat. You'll be no good for this kind of mission if you can't talk. However, for this to fully work, you will have to remove all enchantments or artificial whatnot."

Vain nodded and ran her hands through her short cropped black hair. As her hand passed by each portion, a little bit more hair was revealed. In the end, Vain grabbed a clump of air near her head, tingeing it black. She repeated this process many times until she had past the floor length hair, tied into long locks with silver hair ties (traditional long Chinese style). She stood up and twisted the silver moon pendent she wore, flipping it to show a crescent moon. Vain's scanty thieving outfit disappeared and was replaced with an outfit exactly like Dark Chi's infamous black hooker outfits she wears so often (go google black Chi or Chobits. You'll find something. The one I have, she's sitting on the moon). A woven silver headband in an intricate pattern kept Vain's long black hair out of her eyes. Complex chain earrings adorned her long ears. She waved her hands over each other, and her many silver rings, some with ebony insets, appeared on her fingers.

Goyjo whistled. "Damn. If Vivi wore that getup..." He wiggled his fingers suggestively.

Kanzeon put her hand to her head. "Well. There went my carefully made disguise. To bad those really were your father's knives."

Mu Long and Tu Long nodded to each other. Then the healing process began, with a small warning from Tu Long. "As you are Damned, our magic is going to hurt you more than it hurts other people or creatures. Our magic will also be in a more visible form." Tu Long and Mu Long held their hands over Vain's still form, and their magic could be seen in an electrifying current of green and gold light.

As the light hit her, Vain began screaming in her awful mute way, her entire body put into inverse. Vain grab the chair she was sitting in with her powerful long fingers, eventually breaking the wood into splinters with the force of her contained rage. After a few minutes of nonstop mute roaring, the roar became larger, more feline in nature. Vain's teeth grew longer and sharper as Mu Long and Tu Long broke off the magic for a commentary. "She's strong. She would make a fine Huntress." "She is a Preborn. I wonder what the extent of her knowledge is?"

After thirty minutes, Vain was returned to her normal self. She fell out of the chair, on her hands and knees, her hair pooled all around her. She gasped, grasping her throat with her right hand, making sure everything still worked. She opened her mouth like a fish. "Aaaah. Daijôbu minna-san."

Tu Long smiled. "Everything works?"

Vain smiled evilly. "One way to make sure."

Kanzeon rolled her eyes and waved her hand. Standing in front of the assembled people was an executioner. In is hand he held a bloody ax, posed as if he had just cut someone's head off. He turned and pulled off his black mask, revealing a face exactly like Goyjo. Kanzeon waved her hand again, and this time, a street scum version of Sanzo appeared in front of them. "Anyone else you'd care to test yourself on?"

The not-Goyjo turned to look at the person in question and winced. He held his ax at the ready. "It was nothing personal thief."

The street Sanzo perked his eyebrow and dug in his ear. "I have not'in to do with this. 'Tever this is."

Vain put her long nailed hand in front of her mouth as she tried not to laugh. "Still the same as ever Kouryu."

Kouryu waved cheekily. "Morning my queen."

Vain kept smiling innocently as she suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Kouryu. "Are you sure you care to discuss that....traitor?"

Kouryu blanched. "Oh shit."

Vain's iris shrunk as her canines grew longer. "Oh shit is right." She grabbed him in a vampire's embrace, brushing his hair away from the side of his neck, and bit his neck oh so elegantly, crushing his ribs in her haste to drain him dry. When he was just an empty husk, she turned to the executioner and dropped the shriveled body onto the tiles. "Now is when you run."

Executioner Goyjo took her advice and ran for all his life was worth. Because his life was about to end.

Vain yawned, giving the executioner a few more precious moments. She did a little dance on the spot, then took off with Damned speed. Those left in the workshop could hear the executioner's last battle. Vain returned shortly, licking blood off her delicate fingers. A long cut on her face healed quickly. She politely yawned. "It's too early in the day for this sort of thing."

Kanzeon splashed her with a vial of water. "There's more where that came from."

Vain hissed as the water burned into her vampiric flesh. "Stop doing that!"

Jin Long handed her two long knives, repaired. "You might need these. Especially if people figure out that you're a vampire."

Vain smiled. "Thank you." She noticed her audience (Goku, Hakkai, Goyjo, and Sanzo) staring at her. She pointed a slim finger at Sanzo and turned back to Kanzeon. "Are you sure they aren't from my world?"

Kanzeon nodded. "Most definitely. This is Genjo Sanzo, keeper of the Maten Sutra. Not Kouryu Blooddrinker, the reason why you are Damned to begin with."

Shui Long gingerly stepped over the only carcass in the room. "We can restore your mortality.....for a price."

Vain smiled a vampire smile, making Shui Long squeak and hide behind a pillar. "You might want to do it for free."

Jin Long laughed, his pretty boy face pleasant. "I'd do it if I could! But I need Hou Long to aid me in that endeavor."

Vain whistled. "That's a tall order dragon."

Tu Long held her hands in an upside down prayer position. "You have a great gift Preborn. Don't waste it."

Vain did her vampire trick, only this time ending up behind Sanzo. "I could just break his little neck."

Jin Long held up his finger. "Fine. Bring us back our Hou Long, and we shall give you back your mortality."

Vain grinned. "Very good. Sorry for the whole freak out deal."

Goku relaxed a little bit. "Apology accepted."

Vain leaned down. "I was talking to Sanzo. Hey, do you have any idea why I go around chomping people's heads off?"

Goku shook his head. "Are you some sort of special youkai?"

Vain smiled. "You're so cute. No. A vampire is a corpse that's supposed to leave its grave very night to suck the blood of the living. It can't die unless you burn it. It was once a human being that was drained almost to the point of death and then offered vampiric blood so that they become immortal like their creator. Now here's my big check here. Do you know what the term vamp means?"

Goku had a big o for a mouth as he shook his head. "No."

Vain sat down on the ground, her legs crossed. "A vamp is the short word for vampire, and also denotes a woman who uses sexual attraction to control men. I was a vamp when I was alive, and that's the partial reason why I'm dead."

Goku flonked down into the same position. "Why's that?"

Vain rubbed his head. "You're so cute. Nobody ugly is going to be made a vampire. I mean come on here. If you're going to spend eternity with someone, they might as well be pretty. It's also taboo to Turn a child. This is simply because, the child's mind will grow up, but their bodies won't. They'll be eternal dolls. Doll vampires usually turn into psychotic killers of children. I've know two, and they both killed their creators, then themselves. Not a pretty picture."

Kanzeon cleared her throat. "This isn't a Turn party Vain. Besides, he's heretical."

Vain hugged Goku to her ample bosom and patted his head. "He's still super cute."

Goku hugged her back. "I wouldn't want to die though."

Vain let him go. "Exactly what I've been trying to tell you for the past three minutes. Vampires. Do. Not. Die. We live forever. Most of us chose to be this way because we're scared of death."

Kanzeon pulled Vain up by her hair. "You can't turn him Vain. He's heretical."

Vain clasped her hands together. "But that doesn't mean I can't try."

Kanzeon sighed. "He would die. His body would shrivel up into a little ball of dust."

Vain grimaced. "Eew. Let's not do that."

Kanzeon rolled her eyes. "Keep dreaming. The other three are still open."

Vain yawned. "I was supposed to be doing something?"

Shui Long puddlefied. "She's just as bad as Viviane."

Tu Long threw a rock at her. "Have some respect. We shall transport you to the destination in question, as soon as Vain locates her."

Vain's eyes glassed over. "What's her name again?"

"Hou Long, Vivi, Viviane. Use those parameters." Jin Long gave the thumbs up sign.

Vain's eyes glazed over, giving her the appearance of being truly dead.

Sanzo leaned against the wall. "This is all just fascinating, but how do I find Vivi?"

Kanzeon pointed at Vain. "Who better find someone than themselves?"

Goku sniffed. "I smell dumplings."

Sanzo whacked him with the paper fan. "URUSAI BAKA SARU!"

Goku whimpered and latched his hands onto his head.

Jiipu cheeped. Hakkai smiled. "Perhaps we could find some sort of food."

Jiipu and Goku got into a squabbling match. Goyjo sighed. "Hey Sanzo, Hakkai. I think it's time for you to put your animals in separate cages."

Jin Long covered his mouth politely. "That was cute. Come. I shall show you the Hou Long's banquet hall. I'm sure the Myrmidons will be happy to have someone to care for."

---------Three hours later

An extremely pale Vain stumbled into the banquet hall. Her breathing was ragged and shallow. "I couldn't find her.....too strong."

Kanzeon waved to a Myrmidon maiden. "Find some human sacrifices. Live is preferred." He/she sighed. "If Vain can't find her....I'll have to find a super holy Viviane. And a youkai one to round it off."

Sanzo lowered his paper (amazing what Myrmidons can do neh?). "Sacrifices?"

Vain opened her mouth. Her razor sharp teeth where small in her sunken face. "I wasted quite a bit of energy. I might burn..."

---------Two hours later

Kanzeon reentered the banquet hall. "Found her. Recluse Syphixia universe, Neo Tokyo. Gotta love monks."

A mirror image of Sanzo, save female, with her hands tucked in her robe sleeves walked demurely around the door. She opened her startling azure eyes and stared at Sanzo. "Goddess, might this humble one inquire into something of much personal value?"

Kanzeon sighed. "I forgot to explain this to you didn't I?"

The mirror Sanzo made a deep bow. "It is not the servant's place to inquire into higher matters."

Kanzeon snorted. "He's not your version. So cut the formal crap Sanzo."

The other Sanzo sighed and scratched her head. "Goody. Formal shit makes me feel sleepy anyway. Anybody got a light?"

Kanzeon smacked her in the back of her head. "If I've learned anything, it's that smoking is bad for pregnant women."

The other Sanzo rolled her eyes. "Who gives a shit anyways?"

Hakkai covered Goku's eyes and ears. "This is not appropriate for young children."

Goyjo leaned forward. "So...."

The other Sanzo perked her eyebrow exactly like Sanzo. "For the record, I am the sixth Sanzo Hotoko Sanzo, successor to Genjo Sanzo the Corrupt, keeper of the Maten Sutra, Most Holy and Redeemed Monk, Demon and God Summoner Expert Class, AngelWing Archangel." This Hotoko Sanzo said very very fast, evidence of much practice.

Sanzo pointed a finger at her. "If you're Sanzo, where's the Sutra?"

Hotoko Sanzo stuffed her hand down her robe front and dug around for a bit. "No....that's money.....that's spare handkerchiefs.......bra.......ah! Here we go! Maten Sutra and crown thingy." Hotoko Sanzo held up a scroll in one hand and a golden crown denoting a Sanzo in the other. She crammed the crown on, it being too big and falling down to cover one eye. She shoved it up with her hand impatiently. "Need to get the blasted thing fixed. Didn't even fit Genjo."

Sanzo's face twitched. "What makes you think it doesn't fit me?"

Hotoko Sanzo plonked it on his head, it promptly falling down over one eye. "That's how. I believe the words you're looking for are: Shit bugger fuck! Fuck this cheap ass merchandising! Fuck this crappy thing! And fuck you for laughing!"

Goyjo's eyes grew wide. "Wow."

Sanzo pulled out a cigarette. "Still doesn't prove anything."

Hotoko Sanzo stole a cigarette from behind and blew on Sanzo's hair. "Thanks."

Goyjo snickered. "I think I know why."

Hotoko Sanzo lit her cigarette off Sanzo's politely proffered lighter. She sucked in deeply and puffed out a big smoke ring. "Don't think. It's unbecoming."

Hakkai politely snickered.

Kanzeon sighed and disappeared to tell the Long the location of Hou Long.

Goku leaned forward and tried to grab a dumpling while under Hakkai's blindfold. Hotoko Sanzo placed a bowl of ret hot peppers in front of him. Goku fell upon it, stuffing his face without tasting anything. He swallowed, then turned bright red.

Hotoko Sanzo dumped the first of four water pitchers out of the window. "Let him go Hakkai-san."

Hakkai pulled his hands up quickly.

Goku raced over to where he thought the water pitcher was, ending up sprawled on the floor as Hotoko Sanzo tripped him. "Ouch! What was that for?"

Hotoko Sanzo poked him with chopsticks. "This is the exact same method I used a long time ago to teach you manners. First mistake, reaching for food with your chopsticks without first proffering it to the lady. Second mistake, not proffering it to your host after the lady. Third mistake, never reach blindly for anything, anywhere. This time I used peppers. Next time, it's scorpions. Or scorpion demons. Pending on how much I like you. Understand?"

Goku belched out fire. "Yes."

Hotoko Sanzo poured the second water pitcher out the window. "Yes what?"

Goku fanned his mouth. "Yes evil lady?"

Hotoko Sanzo sighed. "You are making this very difficult for you." She poured the third water pitcher out the window. She held the fourth, and last on tipping mode. "Care to try again?"

Goku hopped up and down. "Yes ma'am!"

Hotoko Sanzo smiled sweetly. "Knew you would get it." She handed him the last pitcher. "Politely ask the Myrmidons where to refill it when you are finished. Then fill it with ice cold water. And get me some green tea while you're out. Move it."

Goku stuck out his lower lip. "Make me."

Hotoko Sanzo picked up the dumplings. "There's a koi pond three feet away. I'm sure the fish would appreciate it."

Goyjo's jaw hung open. "What a woman."

Hotoko Sanzo leaned over and closed his jaw with a snap. "I'm married." She held up her hand, displaying the black ring there.

Hakkai pointed to it. "Actually Hotoko Sanzo-sama, you're a widower."

Hotoko Sanzo sighed. "Eight months. I'm still under going 'mourning'."

Kanzeon returned. "As much as you'd like me to not tarnish your perfect little marriage, I'm going to have to. Bargaining purposes."

Hotoko Sanzo leaned forward, hands steepled. "Explain yourself." Her tone was cold and calculating, unlike the usual kowtowing involved with gods.

Kanzeon pulled up a chair. "We require your assistance in the recovery of the Hou Long, Guardian of Fire."

Hotoko Sanzo made a small head bow. "Understandable. It disrupts the balance. Mynemose Prime has a serious issue with that."

Kanzeon perked a brow. "You actually know your own dimension's name?"

Hotoko Sanzo waved a hand over the table. A 3D map of the dimensions appeared. Hotoko Sanzo held up her hand, displaying a large sapphire inset on the palm of her glove. "I used to navigate dimensional raiding ships. In simplified terms, I'm a dimensional pirate from the only society capable of doing it: Zharkanis Ray Deus. We have a whole law system governing our every move, but some of us don't like that much."

Sanzo poked the map experimentally. "So....What happened to the Mynemose Viviane?"

Hotoko Sanzo squinted. "Put in short.....She died at the age of six due to a skull fracture."

Hakkai came up with a very sensible question. "So where's Vivi?"

Hotoko Sanzo counted off on her fingers. "Shalyfis, Doros, maybe.......twenty six minor jumps with plenty of breaks using human power. With the Deimos, two thruster trips. With the top of the line Magnus5....maybe three minutes in a comfortable spaceship equipped with all the modern necessities. On god power......you'll be lucky if you even get there in one piece. From the center, which is here, a rift won't go that far. You'd need a pretty complex guide system, like maybe the Codex of Long."

The Longs had decided to hear this. Jin Long cleared his throat. "So the Codex of Long is a ship?"

Hotoko Sanzo wiggled her hand in an iffy thing. "I'm not sure. The Codex of Long is supposed to be the only dimensional ship capable of space and dimensional travel with no ill effects like fuel usage. But my ship is still better. Not that you get to use it or anything."

Vain reclined against a chair as a new Viviane was brought in. This Viviane had a toothpick in her mouth, and massive blades coming out of her forearms. She had short cropped grey and white hair and her eyes were yellow cat's eyes. She had a grey and white fluffy tail and she wore only a black leather bikini and knee high black boots.

Tu Long sighed. "What's your ship's name?"

Hotoko Sanzo grinned at her compatriots. "Best one out there. The legendary ship from Jurai, an alien planet: the Kitsune Surprise."

AN: Konichiwa! I'm back with yet another crazy ass chapter! I'm borrowing the lyrics
