CHAPTER TWO
"IF YOU ARE CHINESE, WHY YOU HAVE BRITISH ACCENT?"
"Why did you take control of the plane!" Len shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Because if I didn't we'd all be dead!" Trey shouted back.
Len glowed a bright red, he took a deep breath. 'What kind of idiotic answer was that?' he thought. 'There was clearly a greater risk of dying if Trey took control of the plane.'. "Did you ever hear of autopilot?" he scowled.
Trey took a deep breath and raised his finger. He stopped and lowered it back down, "No." he replied flatly.
Len clenched his fists, "That's because you are a total IDIOT!"
Pilika stepped in the fight, "My brother is not an idiot!"
"Well, your 'brother' ruined my favorite jet!"
Yoh sighed, he walked away. Jun saw him and quickly approached him, "Where are you headed?"
"I saw a Chinese restaurant near here. I'm pretty much famished so I'm checking what food they got." He answered.
"I'll call the others. They might be hungry too."
"That's a good idea." Yoh quipped.
Trey looked around, "Hey, where are the others?"
Len glowered, "Don't you change the topic, blue-boy!" he cooled down as soon as he noticed that Trey was right. He looked back at Trey, apparently blue-boy already darted 'round the corner catching up to Yoh and co.
He growled, Len always hates it when one ignores him. Bason appeared behind him, "Master Len, I think we should take our leave from this empty lot."
Len strode away, following Trey's tracks… fuming.
Yoh rested his hands at his sides and looked up to the sign above the restaurant. "Hmm… The Cat Café."
Trey caught-up behind them, he was panting. He bent over and leant on his knees. He looked a at the sign, "Hey a Chinese (pant) restaurant (pant) great (pant) I was (pant) starving (pant) back (pant) there (pant)"
"Where is Master Len?" Lee Pai Long asked.
"Oh (pant) he's (pant) back (pant) there. (pant) Arguing (pant) with (pant) himself." He laughed faintly.
Rio opened the doors with a bang, he strode inside. "Not too bad." He pulled out a seat and sat down. Anna and the others followed.
Shampoo approached them, the menus tucked under her arm. "What do customers want to order?" she said with a smile.
Rio leant over to her and batted his eyes, "I wish for you to be my queen." He said romantically. Suddenly there was a frantic quacking near the counter.
"Sorry, but Shampoo already is taken." She said flatly.
"Give us the best of the best in the menus!" Trey blurted out.
Shampoo nodded, "OK." She saw Lee Pai Long standing at the corner, the man looked strange with his purple skin. She has seen stranger people around here and dismissed the thought. She walked back to the kitchen. Rio eyed the swing of her hips every time she took a step.
Morty looked around, it was a plain looking restaurant… except for the duck with eyeglasses chained on the counter. "What do you think they'll do to that duck?"
"He looks so plump and juicy… maybe it's the Peking special!" Trey drooled over the thought.
"Don't drool over the table." Anna commanded.
"I think it's cute that they made him wear those little glasses." Pilika said.
The door slammed open, Len was standing opposite of them. He pulled out a seat and sat quietly beside his sister still scowling.
"What's the matter with you, Len?" Jun asked.
"Nothing…" Len answered. "Except for the fact that my favorite jet was ruined by one of the idiots in this table." He added as he glared at Trey.
"Hey it wasn't my fault!" Trey objected.
"Oh, so you do admit that you are an idiot."
Trey growled.
"If you two stop bickering I will make both of you do 10,000 push-ups everyday of your waking lives." Anna threatened them.
Trey immediately shut his mouth. Len glared at her, "You aren't the boss of me."
Anna looked at his golden eyes with hers that were blazing with fury, "Are you sure about that?"
Len turned his eyes away from Anna's and scowled.
Cologne peeped from the kitchen doors, she watched the new customers intently. Then she hopped towards the boiler and began to check its contents. She saw her great-granddaughter decorate some of the noodles, "Shampoo!" she called out. Shampoo looked at her, suddenly the grandma threw some dishes containing food at her. Shampoo caught each and every one with great precision.
Shampoo walked out of the kitchen with the plates balanced perfectly on her arms and head. "Here you go! The Cat Café's finest!" she chirped as she settled the plates on the table.
As soon as the plate touched the table, Trey's chopsticks had already gotten hold of some of its contents. Rio and Trey tried to outdo one another in getting the most food. Anna noticed Yoh eating at a more leisurely pace. Which isn't like him.
"Is something wrong?" she asked Yoh.
Yoh gulped down his food, and looked at Trey. Trey flashed him a smirk, only Cory, Trey, Amidamaru and Yoh knew of the 'meat' incident.
"N-nothing… I felt full today." Yoh stammered.
"You haven't eaten since breakfast."
"Yeah, I noticed that too…" Morty butted in.
"Nah, it's nothing." Yoh reassured them, if Anna found out about the 'meat' incident he'd be the meat.
Anna took note of this, something was bothering Yoh.
An hour had passed and all the plates have been licked clean, Everyone was all full. Shampoo approached them with the receipt, "You pay Shampoo 2,543 Yen. Service charge not added yet."
Jun took the receipt and looked at its content closely, "Isn't this a bit too much 'pricey'?"
"You ordered the 'best of the best' it should be pricey." Shampoo replied. "Shampoo gives only what customer orders."
Len looked at Trey menacingly, but he was happy at the sight he saw… Pilika was pounding Trey a-thousand times over shouting on how stupid he was to order things without checking the prices.
"Well," Rio looked at Jun, "do we have enough moolah to pay for the bill?"
Jun placed the receipt on the table, "Sadly, no. I did not bring that much money with me."
"So did I." Len added.
"Maybe we could pool?" Morty suggested.
Each of them emptied the money from their pockets, Jun counted the total, "We only have 1,615 Yen altogether."
"We're short, 928." Len murmured, "I just noticed that this vacation keeps on getting ruined by one individual."
Trey shrugged, "Don't look at me!"
"Can Shampoo ask question?" Shampoo asked.
"Oh course you can, my pretty lady." Rio swooned. The duck at the counter began quacking like mad, rattling its chains.
Shampoo shot a glare at the duck, "Be quiet, Mousse!" she barked. She looked back at her customers, especially at Len. "You two Chinese, like Shampoo, right?"
"Well, yes." Len blushed. Trey took notice of this and opened his mouth to remark on it, Yoh put his hand over Trey's mouth to shush him.
"Why you have British accent?"
Len's cheeks felt hot, he shot a questioning glance at his sister. Jun looked away pretending not to hear while she hummed a tune.
"And why you have big spike on head?" Shampoo asked again.
"I-its because…" Len stammered. "Who names their children 'Shampoo' anyway!" he shouted out loud. He could hear Trey and Yoh hold in their laughter.
Cologne hopped over to the table with her stick. She gathered the money in her bony hands, she looked at Len. "It is an Amazon tradition to name their children that way." Cologne answered. She looked at Lee Pai Long who was standing at the corner, "You are strange, I cannot sense any life force within you, why is that?"
"I am a great martial artist, I have learned to hide my life force from my enemies for maximum stealth." Lee Pai Long answered.
Cologne thrust her stick at Lee Pai Long with great swiftness. Lee Pai Long quickly caught it in midair and tossed it back to Cologne, "You must teach me sometime of this technique of yours."
Lee Pai Long smiled at Cologne, "In time, when you are ready." He answered.
Anna looked at the grandma then at Morty, "I didn't know you had relatives here, shrimp."
"Hey!" Morty said.
Trey and Yoh fell off their chairs in blissful laughter.
"I heard that, little lady. When you get as old as me, you will look like me." She warned Anna.
"Hmph." Anna looked away.
"How old are you anyway, grandma?" Pilika asked curiously.
"I am about 300 and still counting." Cologne answered proudly.
"She is half as old as me! Master Yoh, I did not know that people could live that long." Amidamaru whispered at Yoh's ear.
"Well," Cologne croaked, "since you children are first-time customers here in my Cat Café. I will allow you to leave with 928 Yen discounted from the bill."
Yoh pulled himself up, still gasping for air after that good hearty laugh, "Gee, thanks Grandma!" he smiled at her.
"No problem." Cologne watched the group leave her restaurant carefully.
Shampoo waited for everyone to leave their café, "Great-grandmother, why let them leave with such big discount? We don't do that to all our first-time customers." She asked Cologne.
"Be careful of them, great-granddaughter." Cologne murmured.
"But they just children, except for the one with ugly hair, the Chinese woman, and the violet man."
"Yes, they maybe children… but I sense great aura from them."
Trey kept laughing at Len as they walked, "Why you have British accent?" Trey mimicked Shampoo's voice. "And why you have big spike on head?" he crossed his arms over his chest and laughed.
"Quit it." Len said coldly.
"Come on, Len. Why do you have a British accent? It didn't occur to me before until that Shampoo girl mentioned it."
"I said QUIT IT!" Len struck Trey with the opposite side of his weapon.
"YEAOW!" Trey cried out, as the pole struck his left side.
Pilika ran to her brother's aid. She looked at Len, "That wasn't very nice!"
"I warned him."
"You think they have an inn here that could let us stay for free?" Yoh asked.
"I'd doubt that." Morty answered.
At a distance Happosai was running at full speed. A bundle of bras and panties were nestled in his arms, "What a haul! What a haul!" he kept saying out loud. Ranma wasn't too far behind. He was furious, he wouldn't let that old perverted man escape from his grasp once again. Akane was right behind him, carrying this monster mallet.
Happosai noticed Jun, "Oh such beauty!" he cried. He dashed underneath Len, who had his back turned on Happosai. Len was surprised to see a little old man dart between his legs. He turned around, just in time to see Ranma and Akane collide into him at full speed.
Happosai jumped up to Jun, with open arms. Lee Pai Long suddenly appeared before the old man, he gave Happosai a straight uppercut, sending the old man up to the blue open skies.
"Ahh! My leg!" it was a sound that you would hardly hear from Len. "My leg! My leg!"
Ranma helped Akane up. Akane knelt down beside Len, "Are you alright?" she asked.
Len looked at her with pained eyes, "Yes it does. It does!" he winced.
"I don't think he's hurt that badly." Ranma murmured. He knelt down beside Akane and prodded at Len's leg.
"He—OWWW! Quit that!" he hissed at Ranma.
"Ranma!" Akane scolded him. "Can't you see that the kid's hurt bad!"
"Sorry…" he murmured.
"Let's bring him to Dr. Toffu. He'll know what to do." She looked at Ranma, "Well, carry him!" she commanded.
"What's happening over there?" Trey asked. A panty landed on his face, "WHAAA! GET IT OFF ME!" he screamed as he pulled he undergarment from his head.
"I didn't know that Len was like that." Yoh said.
"What a cry baby." Anna murmured.
Ranma lifted Len from the ground.
Len pointed feebly at Yoh and he others, "My posse. Tell them to follow, they are nothing but lost sheep without me." He whispered meekly.
Dr. Toffu wiped his glasses on his shirt, he walked to Ranma and Akane. "He is resting." He told he, then he looked at Jun. "You must be his sister, your brother wishes to talk to you. Privately."
Jun walked into the room where Len waited. Len looked at her smilingly, Bason was floating at the bedside. Jun looked at her brother, "It was just a minor sprain, Len. Why act so whiney?"
"We needed a place to say don't we? Those two are probably wracked with guilt." Len smiled. "All I had to do was act my part, what I need from you is to say that we don't have any place to stay in and voila! We get free rooms from their humble abode."
"I hope he's fine." Akane murmured.
"If you weren't so clumsy then this wouldn't have happened." Ranma replied.
"Me the clumsy one! I was just following you!"
"Well I tried to stop, you just kept on coming!"
Anna was getting tired of hearing such nonsense arguing, "Isn't this a clinic?" she stared at Ranma with her coal black eyes. Ranma and Akane hushed.
"Len could sure whine!" Trey said, his shirt was off, Dr. Toffu applied a bandage on his bruised side.
At the Tendo residence, Soun and Genma happily engaged themselves in a good game of shogi. Genma was losing, like always, "Oh look over there!" he cried out. Soun, being so gullible, looked the other way. Seeing his opportunity Genma quickly switches around the pieces.
"I see nothing there." Soun said.
"Maybe I just saw a wandering spirit.:" Genma quipped.
"Oh…" Soun moved a piece of his on the board, "Hey Genma."
"Yes?"
"You remember the Celestial Martial Arts dojo?"
"Yes, of course I do."
"They were challenged a week ago and lost."
"Really?"
"Yes, beaten in a split second. You think the challenger would challenge us next?"
"If he did, my boy Ranma could handle him."
"I guess he will, he is the heir! If your boy lost there wouldn't be an Anything Goes Martial Arts dojo to heir upon!" Soun laughed.
Genma laughed along nervously.
(A/N) Hello again! I hoped you liked this chapter. XD I need positive confirmation on Len's weapon's name. Thanks to the guy who reviewed this! Like I said before, I won't continue this fanfic unless I get one review on this new chapter.
UHMM… could I ask a favor? I need to know the name of the guy that has a crush on Akane and uses witchcraft (like curses, voodoo dolls, etc… he's the guy that looks like a zombie.)
Thanks for the support!
With love

PS- I used the dubbed names because the version that wasn't dubbed didn't feature Ren talking in a British accent. The main reason I used their dubbed names was just for the scene where Shampoo asks Ren: "If you are Chinese why have British accent?" Oh, how I longed for someone to ask that question to Ren or Jun. I know Ren didn't answer why, but I didn't know the answer as well.
PPS- oh yeah. If you write me a review could you add your favorite part? (it's optional don' worry) I'D PRETTY MUCH APPRECIATE IT!
