Story 11: Wishes
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama had gotten lost in a forest on a hike. It has been six days, and all three boys were tired and hungry. They were out of food and water. Just as they had given up hope, Yusuke tripped over a genie's lamp. "Excellent! Now we could have three wishes!", he said. The genie came out of the lamp and told them all together, they have three wishes. "Alright! I'll go first. I wish I went home!", Yusuke said. The genie zapped him and he went home. "I wish I was home", Kurama said. Again, the genie zapped him and he was sent home. Kuwabara sighed. "Gee, I'm so lonely. I wish my friends were here again", he sighed.
Story 12: Candy
Rinku walked into a candy shop. "Hello, sonny", the old salesclerk said, "What'll it be today?". "One dollar worth of chocolates, please", Rinku said as sweetly as he could. The old man looked on the shelf and the chocolates were on the top. He took a ladder and set it up. The old man climbed up to the top and got 1 worth of chocolate. "Here you go", he said, handing it to Rinku. Rinku giggled and skipped out of the store.
Next person was Koto. She happily walked into the store. "Hello!", she said. The old man smiled. "Hello, miss! What'll it be today?", the old man said. "1 worth of chocolates, please", she said with an innocent face. The old man sighed and got his ladder again. He climbed up, got the chocolates, and gave them to Koto. "Thank you!", she said and skipped out of the shop.
The third person was Touya. "Hey, old man", he said as he walked into the store. "Hello, young man! What'll it be?", the salesclerk asked. "1 worth of chocolates", Touya asked. The old man, yet again, got onto his ladder and got the chocolates. He tossed them down to Touya, who caught them beautifully. "Thanks", he said and walked out. The old man sat down on the top step of the ladder, waiting for his next customer.
His final customer was Jin. "Hello young man!", the old man called out. "Hey, gramps!", Jin said. "Lemme guess, 1 of chocolates, right?", the old man asked. Jin shook his head. "No, not today!", he called out. The old man climbed down and put the ladder away. "Then, what'll it be?", the man asked. "Today I would like 2 worth of chocolate, please!", Jin asked happily.
Story 13: Divorce
Sakkyo and Schizuru had gotten married 10 years ago and were still married today. They lived in a beautiful home, in a beautiful place, and had 2 beautiful sons. Basically, they were living a beautiful life. One afternoon, Schizuru was driving Sakkyo home from work in their red convertible. "Schizuru, I want a divorce", Sakkyo suddenly proposed. Schizuru twitched and made the car go from 60 mph to 70 mph. She was driving up to a brick wall. "And, my lawyer said I will get half the house", Sakkyo said, not noticing the brick wall approaching them.
Schizuru again added 10 mph to their current speed, letting them drive 80 mph. "Actually, I get the whole house, and this car!", he said, still not noticing the approaching wall. Schizuru drove now at 90 mph. "I get the house, the car, and all the money in our account together!", Sakkyo said, cluelessly. Shizuru sped up to 100mph. "This divorce is great, because not only do I get all that stuff, but I get our sons and you must pay child support!", he said evilly. Schizuru, out of anger, made the car go 150 mph. "So, honey, what do you want out of this divorce thing, other than what I got?", Sakkyo said. Shizuru, now only a few feet away from the wall, said, "I think I'll take the airbags".
Story 14: Riceballs
Togoru and Gen Kai were married for 50 years. They went through a lot just to be together, and now, Togoru was lying on his deathbed. He was deathly ill and had no hopes of recovery. His sickness was inevitable because of his old age. As he lay there, he smelled something delicious. Gen kai was cooking his favorite flavored rice balls. He sighed happily as he sniffed the sweet aroma. He was lying in his room and Gen Kai was cooking in the kitchen. Togoru decided to get up and go down the stairs and make his way to the kitchen himself. As ill as he was, he forced himself to stand up. He used most of his energy just to get out of his room.
He leaned against the wall for support and slowly inched down the hall to the stairs. "Ok", he said to himself, "Here we go". He took one step and groaned. This was too much for him. He decided to turn around. But he couldn't! The smell was too sweet and he was already half way there. He took another step and winced in pain. He was way too weak to continue on. But he went on anyway. One painful step after the other. He reached the bottom of the steps and collapsed. "Ow", he said as he gasped for air. He had a rough time getting up, but he did. He finally reached the kitchen doorway.
Togoru took one baby step after the other as he spotted the basket of rice balls on the kitchen table. "Delicious…", he said to himself. He was only a few feet from the table. He decided to make a dive for it. Togoru, with his remaining might, dove for the table and hit it with a thud. "I-I made it!", he said aloud. He was reaching for one, when suddenly a sharp slap came down on his hands. "No!", Gen Kai scolded him, "Those arent yours! Those rice balls are for your funeral!".
