Well I couldn't get any asteriks to appear so w/e no biggie. Anyways, posting chapters 3 and 4 at the moment to get them out of the way. Chapter 5 just sucked so I'm rewritting that...I could use some ideas so a little R&R would help!

NOW ENJOY...or die...

CHAPTER 3

4:54pm

In the last chapter, Charles had made a magnificent display of intelligence when he defeated both Su and Motoko to a showdown at the Hinata Inn. By his winning feat, Charles had gained the respect of Motoko and Su along with Kitsune, Shinobu, and Mutsumi as well. However, when Charles had decided to leave and explore town, Shinobu received a very strange phone call, where a man told her that Sarah was being held captive and wouldn't let her go until he receives a large sum of money...

Charles: flying around the city "Ah, today is a wonderful day in the neighborhood"

Charles had just recently finished a tour of the many downtown cities of Tokyo. He then decides to get something to eat at the nearest cafe.

Charles: walks in "Excuse me"

Cashier: "Yes? May I help you?"

Charles: "Yeah, I have a Grande Latte, some of those chocolate bar thingies, one cup of espresso, no wait, make that an espresso machine! and uh...about 10 pounds of these chocolate covered coffee beans" hauls up a big bag of coffee beans to the counter

Cashier: OO

Charles: "What?"

Cashier: "Umm...that'll be..."

Charles: "Oh yeah! I'll be paying with cash today...IN AMERICAN!"

Cashier: "Oh OK then...that'll come to..." yanks out a calculator and does her calculations "$367.80 please" smiles

Charles: I thought they were a bit cheaper...but oh well, it's Tokyo "Sure thing" pulls out four hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and hands it to the cashier

Cashier: "Thank you very much, please come again" smiles

Charles then takes all his things and stuffs then all magically into his pocket, later for him to consume.

Charles: walks out of the store "Phew...casting magic sure is tiring, especially after that death match with Motoko...hmm...I still wonder why she was blushing so much that time?"

Charles begins to walk around some and explore all the stores in the city. Charles begins to enjoy himself and smiles happily while he strolls through one of the nearest parks of the city.

Charles: sits down on a bench "Ahhh...this is the life! Who knew that Japan would be such a laid back culture?"

Mysterious Man: "Hey man, you gotta quarter?"

Charles was suddenly shocked to find that an old man was lying underneath the bench he was sitting on.

Charles: "WOAH! What the hell?!"

Mysterious Man: "Sorry about that...I just need a quarter..."

Charles: "A quarter? Are you stupid man? This is Japan!"

Mysterious Man: "Oh yeah, forgot about that..."

Charles: ???

Mysterious Man: "OK, I need 100 yen, I need it to make a quick call"

Charles: "It depends"

Mysterious Man: "Uh...I, uh...found a lost girl...and she needs to find her way home...yeah..."

Charles: "Oh! So you wanna call her parents to pick her up?"

Mysterious Man: "Uh, YEAH! That's it!"

Charles: "Sure thing, let's see..." Charles reaches in his pocket to find some change "Here you go...huh?" instead Charles pulled out his magical intercom "Whoops, sorry about that...I'll go give you some REAL change...huh?" the magical intercom begins beeping "Sorry, I got a call you hold on a second?"

Mysterious Man: "No problem"

Charles: "Yo! Charles here, what's up?"

Keitaro: "Hey Charles! How you doin' man?"

Charles: "Oh, hey Keitaro! I'm doing fine!"

Keitaro: "That's cool...now you see there's something I need to tell...HEY! NARU! GIVE IT BACK...I WANNA TALK TO HIM!........."

Naru: "CHARLES!!! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

Charles: "Naru?"

Naru: "SHIT MAN! THIS IS FUCKING IMPORTANT!!"

Charles: "Calm down Naru..."

Naru: "LIKE HELL I'LL CALM DOWN!!"

Charles: "You realize you're getting me nowhere with this"

Naru: "sigh...OK, you see Sarah has been kidnaped..."

Charles: "Sarah?"

Naru: "DONT PLAY DUMB WITH ME!! I know that you know her very damn well"

Charles: "I know, but what about her?"

Naru: "Weren't you listening you dumb-shit?! SHES BEEN KIDNAPED!!!"

Charles: "Well what do you want me to do?"

Naru: "FUCKING FIND HER, THATS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO!"

Charles: "I don't like to take orders from an arrogant bitch like you"

Naru: "KEITARO! WISH! NOW!"

Keitaro: "sigh...alright, here goes...I wish for you to find Sarah"

Charles: "I...can't do that..."

Keitaro: "Eh? Why not?"

Charles: "Because that wish is too vague!"

Keitaro: "OK...I wish for you to locate Sarah in Japan and bring her back to my arms"

Charles: "In Japan?! Don't you realize how bit this country is? I don't have my staff here yet so I can't grant you unlimited wishes!"

Keitaro: "Your staff?"

Charles: "YES! For now I have to wait at least a month to grant you wishes without using my own energy...but until then...yknow..."

Keitaro: "OK, then just do a 10 mile radius scan of her alright?"

Charles: "OK, THAT I can do"

Charles then focuses his energy greatly until he heaves himself off the ground through air pressure. Charles floats above the ground and sends a massive wave of energy in a 10 mile radius all around him.

Keitaro: "Well? Find her?"

Charles: "That's strange..."

Keitaro: "What?"

Charles: "According to my scan...Sarah should be right...behind..." Charles turns around "You..."

Mysterious Man: "..."

Charles: "GIVE BACK SARAH NOW!!"

Mysterious Man: "Yipe! I've been found!"

Charles hangs up the phone to leave Keitaro in suspense as to whereas Charles had really found Sarah or not. However, Charles lunges forward towards the Mysterious Man and attempts to kick him in the face, but surprisingly the Man jumps 50 feet in the air and lands on a nearby tree.

Charles: "THE FUCK?!"

Mysterious Man: "Heeheehee...you thought I was that weak eh? Well looks like I'll have to reveal my TRUE identity" The mysterious man throws off his clothes to reveal a young boy under it with an innocent girl under his arm, wrapped in ropes and mouth duct-taped "HA! This is my true identity to all who would know me as...Kai Hue!"

Charles: "I don't care who you are as long as you give up Sarah nice and easy"

Kai: "Oh? You think it's that easy huh punk? Well you're gonna have to catch me FIRST!" Kai then jumps off the tree with Sarah and begins running at lighting speed through the park and in to the city.

Charles: "So if it's a race you want, it's a race you'll get!" Charles begins to focus his energy greatly until a blue aura fills the air "WINDS GIVE ME SPEED!" The blue aura around Charles absorb themselves within him to give him infinite stamina and great speed for a short amount of time. "HERE I COME!"

Charles dashes through the park and in to the city the same direction Kai had. With the trail of energy Kai had left for Charles to follow it wasn't too long until he had caught up with him.

Kai: avoiding cars "Impressive"

Charles: avoiding cars as well "I'm just more than impressive dude...PLASMA SHOT!" Charles fires a tiny beam of light from his fingers towards Kai.

Kai: "Is that all you got?" Kai steadily increases his speed to avoid the shots. "Now it's my turn" Kai begins to raise his hand in the air and chanted a spell so fast not even Charles could keep up with it "DOPPLEGANGER!" Kai rapidly splits himself into 200 parts, each part forming into a new Kai. "So what if you can keep up with me, let's just see if you can find the REAL me?" increases his speed "I know you can't keep up that speed for long, ASS!"

Charles: "True, I only have 20min. left until my energy runs out..."

Kai: "Hah! You have no chance of surviving!"

Charles: "But what you have done was foolish and completely retarded!!"

Kai: "Huh?"

Charles: "You split yourself into 200 pieces of ENERGY!! ENERGY WHICH I CAN ABSORB!"

Kai: "Ah, shit..."

Charles: "ABSORBTION!" Charles takes in a deep breath of fresh air while keeping his speed and in the meantime absorbs all 200 Kai's like Charles had predicted "Ah! burp good as flippin' new!"

Kai: "Ha! You fell for it you dumb-shit! I poisoned them all before hand knowing you would do something that stupid!"

Charles: "Hmm...as long as it gives me energy to kick you frilly little ass!" Charles majorly increases his speed beyond Mach2 and does just that...he kicks Kai 's ass. "Score 10 points!"

Kai: "OWWWWWWWWW" drops Sarah

Charles: "Shit!" catches Sarah just before she hit ground

Kai: flying in the air "I still won you shit! You'll die eventually!"

Charles: "Damn...he's right..." Charles steadily decreases his speed to come and stop by a nearby bench on the side by some park "Phew...I haven't done that much exercise since Elementary school"

Sarah: "MMMMPH!"

Charles: "Oh yeah...you..." unwraps Sarah and swiftly takes off the tape

Sarah: "gasp...th...thank you..." With so much shock, Sarah collapses on Charles' lap.

Charles: "I wonder...what did he want with you...?...ugh......I feel....so....dizz...y......................................................"

Flashback

Charles: "Hey little girl! My name's Charles, you've casted your wish upon a star and I'm here to make sure you're hap-hap-happy!" smiles

Little girl: "...really?"

Charles: "Yup! That's my job!"

Little girl: I go to the amusement park? I've never been there before..."

Charles: "Sure thing! Just say the magic words and you'll be there in a jiffy!"

Little girl: "...well...not right now...I wanna get to know you better"

Charles: "I've already introduced myself...how about you?"

Little girl: "... ... ... ... ..."

Charles: "What? What did you say your name was?"

Little girl: "My... ... ... M.. ... ..."

Charles: "What? I can't hear you properly!"

Little girl: "My name is... ... .ei ... ..."

Motoko: "Yo! Wake up you poor excuse for a man!" slaps Charles in the face

Charles: "snort...huh? what? Where am I?"

Motoko: "You're at the Hinata Inn dumbass!"

Charles: "Am I?" Charles scans the environment and it turns out that he's sleeping in the lounge. "Did I live? Hey! Where's Sarah?!"

Sarah: walks in "I'm right here" smiles

Narrator: If you want to know, Motoko, Sarah, Shinobu, Naru, Keitaro, and Haruka are occupying the room.

Keitaro: "WOAH! DUDE!! SARAH SMILED!!"

Naru: "OK, we get it..."

Keitaro: "HOLY SHIT EVERYONE!! SHE ACTUALLY SMILED! QUICK NARU GET THE CAMERA! NO! GET THE VIDEO CAMERA! NO! GET THE ENTIRE NEWS CREW IN HERE!"

Naru: punches Keitaro in the face "Now shut the fuck up...wah?" Naru punches herself in the face

Keitaro: "HAH! Take that BIOTCH!"

Sarah: walks towards Charles with a sad look on her face "Are you alright? You're not hurt anywhere are you?"

Charles: "Nah...but I wonder if the poison is gone"

Haruka: "Yup! All gone actually, we got poison control as soon as we found you...luck Shirai and Haitani were out shopping"

Charles: "Where are they now?"

Haruka: "They said they had more things to do...dunno what that means" begins to smoke

Charles: "You gotta stop doing that...it's bad for your health"

Haruka: "No one's stopping me"

Charles: "I guess not"

Sarah: "Oh, I'm so glad you're okay..." hugs Charles

Motoko: "Grr...how long do you intend to keep this up?"

Charles: "But I'm not doing anything!"

Motoko: "Oh suuuure! I'll bet that when I turn my back on you, you'll be getting her in the ass wouldn't you? ADMIT IT!"

Haruka: "Calm down Motoko, this is natural for young children to act this way"

Motoko: "What are you implying?"

Haruka: "Obviously no one but Charles had saved Sarah's life...just imagine how scared she was when she got kidnaped and was put up for ransom"

Motoko: "But..."

Haruka: "She's just really happy that Charles was there when she needed him the most"

Shinobu: "That's right...it was a very brave thing for him to do"

Naru: "Well it's only because Keitaro had wished for it"

Keitaro: "What? No I didn't"

Naru: "Huh? Sure you did!"

Keitaro: "All I wished from him was to find Sarah and bring her back to my arms...I never said anything about rescuing her...even Charles said it himself, my wish was too vague"

Charles: "He's right you know"

Naru: "Huh...well aint that interesting?"

The residents of Hinata Inn begin to settle down a bit after the big incident. The females had begun to bathe in the hot spring while Keitaro and Charles were exchanging stories over a hot bowl of ramen. Afterwards it was time for Charles to head to Naru's room for some sleep. If you don't know, it was decided by Naru in the 2nd Chapter

In Naru's room

Naru: "Could you PLEASE turn around for just ONE FUCKING SECOND?"

Charles: "What for?"

Naru: "What do you mean 'what for'?"

Charles: "Seriously, I don't know"

Naru: "Don't they teach you this shit in Elementary school?"

Charles: "Well I do come from a different planet you know..."

Naru: "Yeah? That's nice...well this AINT your planet!"

Charles: "Fine, just be a pussy and be embarrassed about your body...tch, I bet that you got nothing impressive underneath there anyways"

Naru: "I just want to change! What's so fucking wrong about that?"

Charles: turns around "Just go and do it! Now's your chance"

Naru: "What's your fucking problem?"

Charles: "Where I come from, men and women don't care much about each other's looks"

Naru: "Wow, they must be UGLY"

Charles: "...anyways, they still have their privacy and beauty, but if anyone were to accidently catch them without clothes, it's not a big deal...actually...it's not an issue, because you see it's considered quite flattering to others if you want to see a girl or guy naked...just goes to show that there are admirers out there"

Naru: "What about perverted people?"

Charles: "There are people like them...but they eventually just get tired of it all and move on with their life...I mean if they were sexually abusing them, then yeah that's a federal offense...but you people here on Earth you make things in to such a big deal! You arrest people who collects females underwear as a hobby and you when there's a car accident NO ONE helps out except for the paramedic because they're being paid...seriously, sometimes this place just freaks me out a little"

Naru: begins changing "Oh? So you've been here before?"

Charles: "...yeah...once..."

Naru: "Who did you come here for?"

Charles: "A little girl..."

Naru: "You're really perverted you know"

Charles: "I was assigned to look after her this one day and something tragic happened..."

Naru: "What do you mean?"

Charles: "She was all happy and easy-going with her life...until she finally made one wish that had screwed my fuckin' life over"

Naru: finishes changing Woah, why is he so pissed off?

Charles: "And she...she just had to make that fuckin' wish! She just had to fuckin' screw over my fuckin' life!!!"

Naru: "..."

Charles: calms down "sigh...but that's all in the past now..."

Naru: "What...what was her name?"

Charles: "Maybe you already know Naru...maybe you've known all along..."

Naru: "Huh?"

Charles: "Oh by the way, your breasts are huge! I haven't seen any like them before!"

Naru: "WHAT?!"

Charles: "I was looking over there" points to a mirror

Naru: "GODAMMIT CHARLES! ILL KICK YOU IN THE CROTCH NEXT TIME YOU DO THAT!"

Charles: "Why don't you let me kick you in the crotch first?"

Naru: "FINE! Go right ahead, it's not like anything will happen...everyone knows that only guys are affected by on! Give me all you got!"

Charles: "With pleasure!" Charles takes a swift and hard kick to Naru's crotch

Naru: holding her crotch "FUCKIN HELL!" Naru falls to the ground in pain and eventually falls asleep.

Charles: "Damn...that woman needed some good discipline in her" Charles finds himself a nice place to rest and eases himself up for the night.

The next morning Charles had gotten up extra early to watch the sunrise over yonder on the balcony at the Hinata Inn. It was about 5am in the morning so he was sure not the wake anyone else up while he gazed at the angelic light.

Charles: "Damn! I've never seen a more beautiful sunrise like this before...I think this is why I love this Earth so much..." Leaning over the side of the balcony he can see some doves flying together like lovers in the wind "Man oh man...what could possibly more beautiful than this?"

Without noticing Motoko comes off top the roof and comes down to stand beside Charles.

Charles: looks over and turns back "Yo Motoko! Nice to see you bright and early"

Motoko: "I'm always here at this time"

Charles: "Really? What do you do here?"

Motoko: "Train, of course"

Charles: "......."

Motoko: "What is it? Why this sudden department of speech?"

Charles: "How come you're so nice all of a sudden?"

Motoko: "No intention...but there is one thing"

Charles: "What's that?"

Motoko: "I can't stand being destroyed, beaten, or stepped all over a man who overpowers me" Motoko comes ever closer to Charles "But your physical strength had lacked you during our last battle and yet you still won..."

Charles: "...my strength..."

Motoko: "Usually I would've been pissed off by my defeat but...I'm not this time...it is strange.."

Charles: "Over the years I have trained myself in basic martial arts but...I can't go very far in strength though...so I had to balance myself out with intelligence...it was the only way"

Motoko: blushes "I...I admire that in a man"

Charles: "..."

Motoko: "Maybe you with me to the city for a walk today?"

Charles: "...I..."

Motoko: "What is your response?"

Charles: I can't leave Keitaro by himself...and what if I told Motoko about "that"...she'd be traumatized for life...I guess it wouldn't hurt...for now "Alright then...but can we bring a couple others? Like Keitaro and Sarah?"

Motoko: "But I wanted it to be just...alright...OK"

Charles: "Thanks Motoko"

Motoko: "sigh...well I better be off and continue my training"

Charles: "Yeah...me too"

Motoko: "Huh?"

Charles: "Oh, nevermind...I'll see you in the kitchen later k?"

Motoko: "Heh, alright then..." Motoko smiles at Charles and jumps in to the distance and disappears.

Charles: "I wonder if I'll ever find her..." Charles closes his eyes and become nostalgic.

Flashback

Charles: "Well? How was the park? Wasn't that fun?"

Little girl: "Yeah...it was, teehee" smiles

Charles: "What is it? You don't seem to be completely happy"

Little girl: "No...you're right...but I'm happy with you though!" smiles

Charles: "That's great to hear!"

Little girl: "But there's one thing though..."

Charles: "Yeah?"

Little girl: "My sister...Naru...she hasn't been very nice to me lately..."

Charles: "Then what is it that you wish of me Mei?"

Mei: "I wish to have your power"
