________________________________________________________________________ The Tiger Chapter 3 What just happened here?
He disappeared.
"Show yourself you coward. Come out and fight me like a man." Ryouga shouted at a person that he could no longer see. All of a sudden he was on the floor face first.
"Ok asshole. You had better start explaining yourself in a timely manner if you want to keep your head.". Matt had reappeared on top of Ryouga. The odd thing was he had a pistol to Ryouga's head.
"I hope you know that your not supposed to have a gun in Japan.". Ryouga snarled. "It gives me the right to beat you up, maybe kill you, and I won't get in trouble for it." Ryouga let him know.
"Yah well being a Marine with permission to carry a firearm is a big deal, and if you try to attack me I will pull the trigger and I know you can't be that fast, can you?" Matt said to the shocked look of everyone around the table. "Now you are going to be a good boy and you are going to get your self good and lost and you are going to forget that we had this little chat, right?" Ryouga was gone faster then a speeding bullet. Matt put has pistol away, surprisingly in a sub space pocket.
"Why did you do that?". It was Ranma asking the question.
"You won't believe how many people I have meet that are like that. What I did was the only whey to deal with it. We won't see him again for a long time I can assure you of that. Oh, and of the place where I keep my pistol I don't know how I can do that, same with turning invisible.". Matt said before anyone could ask. "I'm going to bed." and off to bed he went.
The next morning.
(Alarm going off) "Oh man another day in this crazy world." Matt said as he got up. He grabbed his wash kit, went to the went to the bathroom, got cleaned up, shaved, dressed and left for work before anyone had woken up. He had some business to take care of at the base.
When he got there he checked in, put his Hummvee in the motor pool, and hit that web. "Ok, lets see here. Stock doing nicely, looks like everything is going fine. Ok time get to the range." he said as he logged off.
At the range he practiced marksmanship, he then went on a five mile run along the beach with the sun coming up over waves. When he got done he went and got some breakfast.
After breakfast he had his team go through some practice drills. He had made them harder then normal but that was over looked as it always was because they were safe and nobody ever got hurt except for some scratches and scrapes. After that was lunch, he swore that they were same potato's that he had peeled the other day, they had to be. After lunch some warm ups then a 20-mile run in full gear and then strait into a combat scenario. He wanted his men to be able to this any day. That is why his team was known as the tigers, they could run twenty miles and go straight into an almost hopeless situation and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat almost every time. Then it was time to head home.
"Thanks for the ride Mitch.". "No problem man." Mitch said as he drove off. "Hello, I'm home, and I have a surprise for everyone.". He announced when he walked in. He set down a package he had and went up to his room for a few things that he would need.
"Uh, Kasumi I was wondering if it would be alright if I cooked dinner tonight?" Matt asked.
"Sure, if you want to. That would be great. May I ask what you would be cooking?" Kasumi asked.
"Something I'm really good at. Trust me." Matt told her.
An Hour Later.
"What smells so good?" Ranma asked as he walked in from school. "I've never smelled anything like it." Ranma was impressed by the aroma. 'Kasumi must be doing something that is going to be great.'
"Oh, hi Ranma. I hope you don't mind but Matt is making dinner tonight for us. He says its an old secret family recipe." Kasumi explained as Ranma walked in. "Oh, by the way do you know where Akane is? She said that she would be home later but didn't say why." Kasumi asked.
"She went out shopping with some friends. I don't know when she'll be back." Ranma answered. That is when he started hearing something like music be played, the only problem is that it didn't sound like a radio, it sounded like someone was play it here. He decided to check it out.
He decided to check the backyard to see if Matt was there and maybe score some food. Nobody was there but there was a strange looking object there. He assumed that the thing was used for cooking so the possibility of it containing food was great, and he was hungry so he decided to get a snack out of it so he jumped down and was about to open it. "If you open it now your going to ruin your dinner and I know how much you like to eat, so I suggest that you leave the grill alone." Ranma nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Matt. He turned around to see Matt sitting in a chair on the porch with some sort of stand in front of him and something on his lap. On closer observation the stand was covered with papers that had lines and dotes all over them. He could not identify the thing Matt was holding.
"How did you scare me like that? No one has ever scared me like that. Oh wait a minute that invisible trick of yours, never mind. May I ask what you got there?". Ranma was still a little shaken but was recovering fast and he did want to know what Matt was holding.
"That's ok, no harm done, right. As long as don't open that grill dinner will be ready in 2 hours.". Matt explained. "As for this" he held up the item. It looked like some metal tubing bent around something with what looked like valves in the center. "This is my trumpet. I've been playing for several years now and I just like to keep in practice." Matt said.
"I've never seen a trumpet before. How do you play?" Ranma asked. He wanted to know because he had never seen one played and wondered how the sound came out.
"Well maybe I'll show you sometime but not right now. I've got to go make some more sauce for dinner." Matt said as he put up his trumpet. Ranma just shrugged and walked away.
Matt went into the kitchen and found Kasumi there mixing the spices that he had bought. "Kasumi, may I ask what you are doing." he asked Kasumi who was standing over a bowl with a sauce in it.
"Well I thought I would help out so I mixed the sauce and added a few other things to make it a sweeter." she said adding some seasonings. "I followed the recipe I found on the counter. It needed something to make it sweet so I added a few extra seasonings to help it along."
"Ok, well the recipe was passed down through the family and was hoping to make it the way my family has for years, but let see what you got there." He said as he sniffed it. He couldn't believe it. It smelled a lot better and sweeter, he went and got a spoon and tried a little. It was the best sauce he had ever tasted. "Kasumi where did you learn how to make BBQ sauce? This is the best I have ever tasted."
"Well I never really have. I just decided to add a few things that's all." Kasumi said with a slight blush.
"Well If you ever put out a cook book I will be on e of the first to buy it, and if you will pardon me there are some steaks and ribs that need to basted in this sweet sauce." Matt said as he went outside. He put the sauce one the BBQ, closed the lid and went to go make the cornbread, mashed potato's, corn, and beans.
Several hours later dinner is served.
Nobody had ever tasted any thing like it before, and dinner went very fast. "Where did you learn to cook like that Matt?"
"Well its my families been in the BBQ business for several generations. As for the sauce don't ask, its a secret family recipe and will be kept even safer now that Kasumi improved it beyond measure. Well I will be turning in for the night after I take care of the dishes and the grill." Matt said as he got up. He cleaned the dishes and the grill and went to bed.
