Chapter Nineteen
"I've gotten rid of all the gel in the mansion!" Vanessa chirps happily, squirting the last of it down the drainpipe. "Now we must rid the stores of them! Onward!"
"Vanessa, be reasonable," Olivia takes the container and shatters it to pieces. "The most we can do is ask them to refuse Yusuke service when it comes to hair gel. That's about it, really."
"Fine, we shall do that then..."
"We're all ready," Malia comes bounding down the stairs with way too many pictures of Yusuke in her hands. "And we have the pictures."
"Great. Let us go!" Meagan commands. "Me, Olivia, and Vanessa will take downtown--you guys take uptown. We must get the whole city."
"Why do you get downtown?"
"Do you honestly think you guys could handle it?"
Smiling happily, the groups split up and head off to their respective "towns." The stars are still twinkling--as it is 5 o'clock--and Yusuke will not be up until at least two in the afternoon. You know how he is. (a/n: Aww, Zero is so cute. Sorry--I'm watching Holes.) With this comforting piece of information in mind, Malia and Nissi treck down the street to the first store in sight. The door slides automatically open and the two step inside, a picture of Yusuke in hand. Marching up to the front counter, they hold the picture out to the surprised sales-ringer. (a/n: Eh, can't remember the name. )
"H-hello, girls. What are you doing out here so early?" The sales-ringer puts on a smile which is, surprisingly, not forced.
"We are here on an important mission, Miss. We are here to ask if you would kindly keep this picture at the front desk and refuse to sell hair gel to the person on the picture. You see, this," Nissi shows the picture, "is my cousin, Yusuke. He promised me that for my tenth birthday that he would completely give up something, as I had to give up singing because of my illness. He chose hair gel, but to this day--and I am fourteen--he hasn't given it up."
"Oh, you poor girl. So you're here on revenge, eh? I can relate to that. Gladly, I will keep this picture here. How long is this to last?"
"Just one day, ma'am. Thank you so much."
Malia waves good-bye and follows Nissi's retreating form. Once outside she gives Nissi a that-was-totally-awesome grin and pushes her down the street to the next shop. It's going to be a long day, for sure--but the reward will be worth it.
With the Downtowners...
"There's so many stores, I don't know where we should start..."
The three Destinies look for the most convieniently placed store and find it to be at their right. They head for it. Inconvieniently enough, it is a drug/pharmacy store. Sighing and holding their noses, the Destinies enter--the smell of smoke strong in their noses. Walking up to the counter, they pull out another picture of Yusuke. This might be a little hard...
"Excuse me..." Vanessa taps the counter impatiently.
The man in front of her raises his eyes slowly--they are bloodshot. Vanessa recoils. "What?"
"Um...could you refuse this boy hair gel if he comes in here, please and thank you?"
"Whaz in it for me?"
"The...satisfaction of making a boy miserable."
The man cracks a grin, "Good enough for me. Whaz 'e look like?"
Meagan leans over and hands him a picture. I...don't feel good.
Olivia puts her hand on Meagan's forehead, "You feeling okay?"
Meagan shakes her head, and Vanessa looks over at them curiously. Suddenly, Meagan's eyes widen and she hangs her head slowly. Olivia and Vanessa gasp and shake her shoulders furiously. On the other side of the store, Meagan appears.
"Oh my gosh!"
"MEAGAN?"
The two rush to the other side of the store, leaving the other Meagan standing motionless in front of the counter. The man is no longer paying attention to them. Meagan runs through the counters, sees herself standing motionless, and screams. Olivia rushes to her side and clamps her hand over her mouth. Vanessa whaps them suddenly on the shoulders as the other (a/n: Does this make any sense?) Meagan comes walking slowly towards them, the weirdest look on her face.
"I think...I found a new power."
"Yes," Olivia nods her head. "Astro-projecting."
Twenty minutes later
"I learned that power so quickly! Look! I can do...thirty different me's all at the same time!"
"And now we are finished..."
Thank God. Olivia wipes her forehead with the back of her hand. I wonder how Nissi and Malia are doing?
The sun begins to rise in the distance, much to the Destinie's happiness. If the sun is just rising, it means that it is still early morning. They might actually have to wake Yusuke up a bit earlier than expected.
With the Uptowners...
"Thank God we got uptown. Do you know how many shops there are in downtown? I'm getting tired of all the shops in uptown," Malia murmurs.
"Well, we're done now. I bet the others are only halfway done."
"Hi guys!"
"OMG!" Malia and Nissi recoil as the faces of three Meagan's smile and three identical hands wave at them. "What the heck is going on here?"
"I can astro-project!" the three Meagan's mold into one. "Now come on--we need to go wake up Yusuke."
At the Mansion...
"RISE AND SHINE YUSUKE!"
Pulled out of his wonderful coma that is sleeping, Yusuke jerks and falls out of bed. The faces of the Destinies stare down at him happily. "We made you breakfast, but first you have to go get ready. You know, teeth, shower, hair."
"Wha--alright, whatever. Just go."
Shoving each other over, the Destinies run out of the room. And four Meagan, Vanessa, Olivia, and Nissi, the thoughts of the La Cucaracha incident come running through their minds. And for Malia...well, if this was anything like La Cucaracha, she would find out what Yusuke will end up doing. Stumbling, Yusuke walks to the bathroom, and reaches into his bottom drawer for his precious hair gel. His hand reaches...an empty space.
"WHERE IS MY HAIR GEL? WHERE IS MY FRIGGIN' HAIR GEL? I JUST STOCKED UP ON IT YESTERDAY MORNING! MEAGAN! VANESSA! OLIVIA! NISSI! MALIA! WHAT DID YOU DOOO?"
"Nothing!" the Destinies call from the safety of their rooms.
With unimaginable speed to match Hiei's and Meagan's, Yusuke dresses and searches the entire mansion for any sign of his precious hair gel. There is none. Officially freaking out, Yusuke rushes to the greenhouse where he finds Kurama tending his flowers. "IT'S ALL GONE!"
"Y-yusuke...?"
"ALL MY HAIR GEL IS GONE!"
"Oh. Well...I can tell you that the girls had some crazy idea about going to all of the stores in the city and having the people refusing you service on hair gel, so I suppose that it would be pointless for you to head off there in search of some gel. And I refuse to let you run to another city, as there could be an attack today."
"Then what am I supposed to do?"
"Improvise."
"Improvise...improvise..."
Rushing back into the kitchen, Yusuke rummages through the counters and refridgerator while the Destinies watch from the stairway. He grins as he pulls out the largest container of mayonaisse (a/n: spelling, anyone?) the Destinies had ever seen. One thought passes through their heads as they sweat drop and watch Yusuke unscrew the lid: Is he really going to...They gag silently as he takes a big glob and sticks it in his hair, massaging it into his hair. He is...oh my gosh. With his hair properly gelled and his hands properly mayo-ed, Yusuke turns his attention to the Destinies.
"Run on the count of three. One, two, two-and-a-half, RUN!" Vanessa screams, pushing the other Destinies out of the way as she scrambles up the stairs. The others follow suit, running as if their lives depend on it--which they do. Nissi and Olivia, in a state of desperation, each run into their sensei's rooms, knowing that they will be safe to some degree. Malia hides in the linnen closet, burying herself in the milky softness of the towels.
Hearing Yusuke stomping up the stairs Vanessa does the only thing she can in this situation and morphs into...Kuwabara? Oh, my gosh. I can transform into people! Cool! Yusuke, furious, passes right by the stiffened Vanessa and goes to the door to Meagan's room, pushing on it hard. The sound of several loud shrieks and a few curses reach his ears. Smiling wickedly, Yusuke pulls his girlfriend out from behind the door and then shuts it on the bewildered Vanessa.
"Y-yusuke...what are you doing?"
"I have mayonaisse, Meagan. And as I owe you for the bra thing when we first met and now this...I think I'm going to use it on you. Wouldn't want perfectly good mayo to go to waste, now would we?"
"NO! It wasn't me!"
"Oh? It wasn't, was it? Well then..."
Dipping his hand in the container, Yusuke comes up with a glob of mayo and smears it gently over Meagan's face. A look of surpreme surprise crosses over her face. "And now..."
Face devoid of all emotion, Yusuke--in one swift movement--turns the container upside down over Meagan's head, and the sticky white globs came pouring down on her person. They slide down her shirt and pants, leaving a slimy trail behind that much resembles what it looks like after a slug walks by. She cringes continuously.
o.0 "Oh. My. Lord."
"Puu!"
Much to Meagan's surprise, a fluffy blue penguin looking thing comes flying through the open window and situates itself on top of Yusuke's head. "Eh..."
"Hey, Puu. I was wondering where you were. Where have you been for these past months?"
"P-puu?"
The blue penguin above labeled Puu cocks his head at Meagan, departs from Yusuke's head, and moves to situate himself on Meagan's head. He squirms under the large amount of mayo in her hair. Bending down so his eyes are level with hers, he gently bites her nose. Meagan's eyes slowly widen, as they did when Yusuke dumped the mayo on her, and soon...
"What the heck is this thing!"
"This," Yusuke murmurs, pulling Puu off Meagan's head, "is my Spirit Animal. He hatched when we were in the Dark Tournament."
Eyes diverted towards the window, Yusuke walks over to it and shuts it quietly shut. Puu flies out of the door and Yusuke, apparently forgetting about the hair gel, follows after. Meagan stares after her boyfriend, worried. Looking to the ground where the mayonaisse container lay forgotton, she groans and shuffles off to the showers, ready for a nice soaking to rid herself of the smell of mayo.
"I hate mayo..."
Fruits Basket...do any of you guys watch/read that? If you do, could you check out my story on my Destiny-Scouts file...I share it with my friends. It's called...um...Evil Thoughts From A Lonely Mind. Or...something like that. How pathetic is that, ne? Well anyways...I've introduced Puu now, for those who know him. Did you like my chappie? I did.
