"Listen, bitch, my subscription hasn't finished and that is FINAL!"

"Umm, sir… this is a bank," the lady behind the counter said helplessly.

"I don't give a damn whether this is a bank or a brothel!" Hayabusa slammed the letter down on the counter. "You all lie!"

"Sir, please…" the lady had backed back into the wall by this stage.

"Wait… did you just say that this wasn't a brothel?" Hayabusa paused.

"No, sir…" the lady started bemusedly.

"It isn't a brothel? Darn. Wrong spot. Sorry, miss,"

"It's… no… problem…" the lady stuttered as the super ninja disappeared in a swirl of leaves, returning back to where everybody was sitting and waiting for something to happen.

What the something was, nobody knew.

Hayate sighed. "Look. Hayabusa. I will go through this with you one last time. You post letters at a post office, not a brothel. Got it?"

"Why can't you post them at a brothel? What's the difference?"

"Well…" Tina started. "With post offices, you put your letters in the in-hole. With brothels…"

"Okay, hold it right there!" Helena exclaimed.

Before anyone could say anything else, another arrow shot through the window. Everyone ducked as the arrow hit the wall.

Hayate pulled it out of the wall, looking at the attached mail.

"Dear Ryu. Ooh, that's mine!"

Zack snorted and promptly fell off his seat.

"No it's not!" The 'real' Ryu snatched it. "It's addressed to me!"

"No it isn't!" Hayate roared. "It's for my… my… thing!"

Ryu stopped dead. "Did you just say what I thought you just said, Hayate?"

"I don't know. What did you think I just said?"

"You said, 'I don't know. What did you think I just said?'" the super ninja responded perfectly.

"No, before what I just said!"

"Before what you just said?" Now Ryu was looking confused. "Again, it was 'I don't know. What did you think I just said?'"

"No! Before that!"

"The 'No, before what I just said?'"

"Yes! Before that!"

"You mean, 'I don't know. What did you think I just said?'"

"YOU SMELL!" Hayate yelled.

Everyone went silent.

Hayabusa blinked.

Hayate smirked evilly.

Zack snuck out of the room to find chocolate cake.

"…that was harsh," Ryu looked sad.

"HA!" Hayate exclaimed. "HA, ha, ha, ha, ha, hahahahahaha! Now Ryu wants his mail!"

"Oh? It's a 'he'?" Tina questioned.

"Can you get those things in female form?" Leifang massaged her temples. "I don't even want to know,"

Ryu suddenly stood up and walked out of the room.

"Wonder where he's gone?" Hitomi queried absently.

Tina put her hand on Hayate's arm. "Give Ryu his male… err, mail… somewhere other then here,"

Everyone watched as the Mugen-Tenshin clan leader walked excitedly out of the room, clutching his mail for 'Ryu'.

"I think I want to go home…" Helena murmured to nobody in particular.
