Hello, I'm back. I told chapter 5 would be up soon, didn't I? Anyways, this chapter Brandon and Shinobu face off against Yami Shinobu. I won't keep you waiting, so here's the story. Oh, and unsigned reviews can now go through. I plan on fixing up the format of the story soon, so wait for that, too. The new format begins in this chapter.

Chapter 5: Two Shinobus?! Or

Brainwashed Hinata girls battle!

As Brandon and Shinobu prepare to do battle with Yami Shinobu, she casually says, "Before we begin with unnecessary combat, Brandon-kun, would you like to be my servant-king? I can guarantee you, the benefits are MOST rewarding…"

Brandon gets extremely flustered from this statement and stifles a nosebleed before answering, "I think I'll pass on that. I don't need a dominatrix queen as a girlfriend."

Yami Shinobu pouts, "Oh, that's too bad. I at least wanted it to be consensual, instead of brainwashing you like I did to your friends."

Yami Shinobu snaps her fingers and all the Hinata girls appear in black leather catsuits. Seeing this, Peter and Brandon blush heavily. Shinobu grabs Brandon by the ear and says, "Okay, that's enough of that. Get your head out of the gutter…"

Brandon responds, "Sorry, Maehara-san…"

Shinobu is surprised by Brandon's use of etiquette in this instance, and says, "Why be so formal? After all, we are friends, aren't we?

Brandon thinks to himself, "In such a short time?", but decides not to argue against it.

Peter snickers to himself, "Heh, she's got him whipped…"

Brandon and Shinobu once again slam Peter's head into the floor. "Okay, Shinobu, about these watches, do you know the game Viewtiful Joe 2?"

Shinobu says, "Oh, yes, I know about that game! So these watches transform us into superheroes?"

Brandon smirks, saying, "Just say (he strikes a pose) HENSHIN A GO-GO, BABY!"

Brandon goes through a transformation sequence and appears fully outfitted like Joe. "Nice! I'd win cosplay contests with this outfit!"

Shinobu sweatdrops, saying, "Do I have to say that line?"

Yami Shinobu gets infuriated by no one paying attention to her, and yells, "JUST HURRY UP, DAMMIT!!! I want to conquer the world. With Brandon-kun and that watch on my side, I'll be unstoppable!"

Shinobu replies, "I won't let you do that! You will pay for your evil doings!"

Yami Shinobu and Shinobu both sweatdrop at the statement, while Brandon gives Shinobu the thumbs-up.

Yami Shinobu adds, "Hmmm, maybe I could brainwash you too, Shinobu, to be Brandon-kun and my toy…"

Brandon & Shinobu yell, "HELL NO!"

Shinobu strikes a pose, says, "Henshin a go-go, baby!", and comes out wearing Silvia's outfit. Looking over herself, she says, "Hey, this is kind of cute…"

Yami Shinobu, fed up with the delays, veinpops and yells, "ATTACK!"

The brainwashed Hinata girls attack Brandon and Shinobu all at once. A huge battle ensues, with both using their FX superpowers to disable the girls. After subduing the last of them, they face Yami Shinobu. She says, " Hmm, both of you did better than I expected. You'd both be great toys…"

Brandon replies, "No! That is NOT happening! I'll wait until I'm married, thanks!"

Shinobu adds, "Same here! Besides, I'm not a bisexual!"

Yami Shinobu menacingly says, "Well, you two should get used to obeying me, because after this battle, both of you will be mine!"

Yami Shinobu then yells, "Henshin a go-go, baby!", and comes out fully garbed in a cybernetic dominatrix outfit. "Ohohohoho! You like?", taunts Yami Shinobu, "I had Su make this for me when I brainwashed her. It enhances my strength and agility a hundred-fold! In thanks to Su, I'll let her join in on my fun after I win, since she likes you too, Brandon-kun!"

Shinobu blushes heavily from seeing the outfit, but Brandon is taken back by the knowledge of Su liking him, in addition to Shinobu and Kaoru. "Wait", he thinks, "I already found that out…"

Using Brandon's surprise as an advantage, Yami Shinobu takes the initiative and puts Shinobu in a wrestling hold, cackling gleefully.

Brandon, enraged, yells, "That does it! Time to take off the kid gloves!"

Brandon activates Slow-Mo and Fast Forward at the same time, resulting in him moving normally while everything else is slowed down. He jumps into the air and shifts his position until he is directly overhead and to the side of Yami Shinobu. He then activates Zoom In and says, "Here's something you don't have! Ki power! KAMEHAMEHA!!!"

The massive blast sends Yami Shinobu flying into the stratosphere, somehow violating physics by causing Shinobu to be sent only three feet from the position he was at. In the distance, Brandond hears Yami Shinobu yelling, "I'll be back! And next time, you WILL be mine!"

Deactivating their V-watches, they celebrate as the girls wake up. Su is most excited of all. Being just the nice guy he is, Brandon asks Su, "Hey, Su, are you alright?"

Su grins, grabs Brandon and kisses him on the lips! O.O Peter comes to and sees Su kissing Brandon. Jealous, he says, "Hey, I though you said you liked me, too!"

Himeko adds in, "Holy cow, she's clingy…"

Su unlocks her liplock on Brandon and says, "He saved me though!" She then looks to Shinobu and says, "I wouldn't forget you as well, Shinomu!"

Su then grabs Shinobu and kisses her on the lips as well! All are stunned, and upon seeing two girls kissing, Brandon and Peter get nosebleeds. All the girls get furious at the guys (except Su and Shinobu, as they are still liplocked), and yell, "PERVERTS!"

They beat up Brandon and Peter, then proceed upstairs. Disgusted with the two guys, Motoko says, " I guess you first job here as landlord will be to clean up this mess!"

Shinobu, jealous of Su kissing Brandon before she got to, begins to cry and yells at Brandon, "How could you?! I thought you liked me!"

She then runs upstairs, tears flying, and throws the V-watch to the floor.

Su, seeing what just happened, says, "Oh, boy, I think I just messed things up."

Brandon gets depressed and slowly cleans up the hidden room. Su tries to cheer him up by saying, "Brandon-san, it's okay, we'll find a way to fix things and get you back on everyone's good side."

Brandon mutters to himself, "God, I'm such an idiot…"

Su responds, "Huh?"

Brandon continues, "I thought I could at least try not to screw up any friendships I were to make here, but I screw it up anyways."

Su consoles Brandon, saying, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have kissed you and Shinobu."

Brandon pauses for a moment, then says, "Thanks Su. I guess I'll try to make it up to them. Especially you and Maehara-san. Christmas isn't too far off, so I'll see what I can do then."

Su grins at this news, and proceeds to help Brandon with cleaning up the rubble. As they do so, Su thinks to herself, "Brandon really is a swell guy. I'll at least tell the others about what was said in here. They'll forgive him, I know they will…"

All the while, Peter was still unconscious, a bit of blood seeping out of his head.

So, what do you think. Yeah, Brandon and the other girls got off to a rocky start now. Su, however, sees him for who he is. Yet, Shinobu and Brandon like each other. Oooooh, we have a love triangle here! Anyways, please review. Also, if you would like to vote for who gets paired up with Brandon or Peter, or just have an idea for a story arc, please review. Until then, this is the chapter's end.
