"Ryu is planning to purpose to my daughter!" Yohmei repeated with shock.

Tamao nodded her head. Everyone was paying all their attention to Tamao so I decided to go and steal Mayfair and ParkLane and then I can buy a motel and make bundles. Yes! God bless that young girl.

"Yes, Master Yohmei. He said that Rachael makes him happy and he wants to be with her forever and he really likes her," Tamao said all shy.

"I say he should have stayed with the bi girl. Not only was she hot but she was funny,"Mother pointed out.

"Ok. One by one, we will go to Ryu and talk to him about his feelings with Rachael and see why he suddenly wants to get married b'coz I am sure ain't gonna pay for this Wedding!" Father points to me and Keiko "Your's was the most expensive event I have ever paid for. At least Keiko's parents paid for half of it. But what about Ryu. He is practually family to us now!"

"Ok, ok. An enough about Ryu. Let's continue the game!" I cheered.

"Ok.. Ah! Son, it was your turn. Did you move your cheep looking hat?" Father laughed.

"Yep and I bought Mayfair! AH! IN YOUR FACE!"

Mother hit me again with her walking stick.

"Mayfair ain't the best property. It's the train stations! Dam Keiko!" Mother said in a mood.

"Mother, be glad we ain't playing Whack da Mole!" I told her.

The next day, we started our plan to talk to Ryu. First up to talk to him was Father aka Master Yohmei to all you Yohmei fangirls out there. Ryu was sitting at the small hill in the local park. Father got a lift from me in my motorcycle (Yes! Ryu made me buy one. It's rubbish I can't put any of my old car items on it.) Walked up the mountain and sat next to Ryu. Who was looking up at the clear white clouds.

"Hello Ryu... Nice day, isn't?"

"Suppose..." Ryu sighed.

"Got any girlfriends recently?" Father hinted on.

"Yep. She is smart, sexy and a great laugh."

Father acted suprised "Ooh... What is her name? Will I like her?"

"It's your daughter, Rachael."

"My Rachael? My singing star, Rachael?"

Ryu nodded and looked at the clouds in the clear blue sky.

"Her hair is as soft as the clouds that roam free in the clouds. It blows everywhere when the wind starts on. Her deep blue eyes are the same colour of this very sky we are staring at. That and she has a voice Taylor Dayne would be jealous of," Ryu explained.

Memories of Rachael came back to Father's mind.

Rachael aged 23
Mikihisa aged 20
The Backyard

"HURRAY UP DAD! I WANT YOU TO HEAR MY SONG!" Rachael yelled.

"Alright! Don't shout at me, ok?" Father shouted

Father was looking young. His hair was brown and there was more of it... Mother had long blonde hair and was looking like Olivia Newton John. Yep! The years of big hair had arrived... The 80's were ready to haunt us all...

Rachael had wrote her first song and she forced me to play the guitar for her while she sings. Rachael was always keen to be a singer but she never did have the engery for it. All the time...

"Ok... Start!" Mother said sitting on the deckchair.

"I meet your eyes across the room,
Ya are handsome and tall,
The knight wit no shinning armor
I'd love you to be in your arms," Rachael sang.

Mother was enjoying it but Father wasn't. The only music he liked was this really old stuff. Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Oh! And swing music. In another fanfic, I'll tell ya the time he won my Mother over.

"I want you!
Your love will give me power,
To hold our worlds both together,
I want you, baby!
Our love will rule all...," Rachael sang the chorus.

Father was asleep this time. Mother slapped him with her fan and woke him up.

"That girl you kiss,
Dunno how to hold you,
Or love you right,
I'll hold ya,
I'll kiss ya,
I want you to be happy, babe!"

I won't bother explaining more on the lyrics. Just go to the bottom of this page and read them all at the same time. Anyway! Father was not impressed with Rachael's career choice. Father never trusted the Music Business. Not since the Milli Vanilli incident that occured on MTV. He also didn't like MTV. Or diet sodas. Never diet sodas. He is against them and Pro-lifers. May I remind you he tried to abort my kids.

"You are not gonna become a singer!" Father exclaimed.

"Yes, I will and you can't stop me nor your stupid leaf spirits!"

"Yohmei-kins! Rachael has you covered there."

Rachael stomped off in a mood. I started packing my guitar away and the amp for it.

"Mikihisa! What do you wanna do in the future?" Father asked.

"Get married and have a family. Who will also be shamans," I replied.

Father walked away back into the house. Mother was laying on the sun deck trying to get some tan on her body. I took my guitar and amp and walked back into the house.

Back at my parents place. We were playing Bogel. (Mother aka Kino, Keiko, Tamao and myself)Find as many words as possible before time runs out. I was winning or so I thought. Tamao was actually winning...

"I found 78 words," I announced being the big shot.

"4 words and allfunny words. Poop... Haha! Like the stuff you ate Miki-kins!" Keiko laughed.

"Master Mikihisa... did you eat poop?" Tamao said trying not to laugh.

"Haha! My son ate poop!" Mother laughed hysterically.

I dimmed my eyes at them all "You couldn't let me let it go. Could you Keiko?"

Father came in and was happy as a bird. Despite not being able to actually do anything to stop Ryu from proposing but he was singing that stupid annoying song, Rachael wrote. He finally liked it after so many years.

"I want you, your love will give me power, to hold our worlds both together..."

We all stared at him. He stopped singing and looked at us back.

"Oh crap! I forgot to stop Ryu..." he announced.

"Ooh... Ooh... let me try! Let me try!" Keiko volunteered.

Shamefully, we all agreed...

To be continued...

Washu says:

As promised... the song Rachael wrote back in her younger days. Well, actually I wrote it and it's too cheesy for my liking so... Here it is. It's called "I want you."

1) I meet your eyes across the room,
Ya are handsome and tall,
The knight wit no shinning armor
I'd love you to be in your arms

Chorus: I want you!
Your love will give me power,
To hold our worlds both together,
I want you, baby!
Our love will rule all...

2) That girl you kiss,
Dunno how to hold you,
Or love you right,
I'll hold ya,
I'll kiss ya,
I want you to be happy, babe.

Chorus

3) Baby! I want you.
Baby! I need you.
I love you,
My emotions race around you,
Everytime you are near me...
Baby! I want you!

Chorus
