Chapter 16 : Rock, paper, scissors
Retasu was this time out of the woods.She was still silently walking, like nobody was occupying her body.
" Are we there yet ?
" You´re almost there, continue swimming.
" I want toknow were I´m going.
" You don´t need directions.You just have to cross the tunnel.I´m waiting for you.
" What happens if they find me first ?
" Then you will kill them. "
Retasu smiled.And she continued swimming.
Back to the team, who were heading to the café.They had already left the forest.Ryou and Pai were still fighting for Retasu, getting Ichigo crazy, walking between them, and Kisshu trying to stop her from doing anything stupid.Behind them, Purin and Tart were happily chatting.At the back, like always, Minto and Zakuro were quietly watching all the others wondering if they were the only normal people around here.
Ryou smiled and said to Pai :
" Maybe when I´ll get you out of Earth, you could still come sometimes to see Retasu with me !
" Don´t worry, I´m sure you won´t have to get me outta here, you´ll be killed before doing anything.
" I´m not being worried for that because I´m not gonna die, not until I can knock you out.
" Really funny.And then Retasu will hate you because you hurt her boyfriend.
" You really wanna make me angry ?
" Yeah, that´s kinda the idea. " answered calmly Pai with an evil smile.
Between them, Ichigo was saying, her fists clenched :
" Stay calm, Ichigo, stay calm... do not kill anybody... do not kill anyone... "
Kisshu was holding her by the shoulders, sweatdropping :
" Ichigo, don´t do anything stupid ! "
Purin was telling one of her biggest secrets to Tart :
" So, Purin usually buys the candy at that little shop next to her house...
" Very interesting ! "
And at the back, Zakuro and Minto were sweatdropping.
Ryou and Pai were going from missunderstanding to something else :
" Retasu is MINE !
" No, she´s not !
" Yes she is !
" NO !
" YES ! "
Pai had enough.
" That´s it ! If we can´t decide by words, we will do it by your way, the way of humans !
" Fine ! Rock paper scissors ! "
They both lift up their hands, ready to decide who was going to have Retasu.
" YAAAA ! " They both shouted.
A few seconds later, Pai said :
" I won ! Too bad for you, sorry !
" What are you talking about ? We both got rock !
" Yeah, but the rock, it´s something strong, and I´m stronger than you, so I won !
" You, strong ? Give me a break ! And what is this anyway ? This game isn´t about being strong or not !
" Well now it is !
" Says who ?
" Says me !
" Who ? You´re nobody, so it doesn´t count ! And the rock isn´t the strongest !
" Yes it is !
" No ! The paper is normally something very weak, but it kills the rock !
" So why didn´t you take paper instead of rock ?
" Because I thought you would take scissors ! And rock beats scissors !
" But scissors beats paper, so the paper isn´t really very strong !
" But the scissors aren´t either, they get beaten by rock !
" Well then rock is the best one !
" No, because paper beats him !
" Well then wich one is the best ?
" None of them is !
" Wait a second, what is this game ! "
While those two were talking about the possibility that scissors could cut rock, everyone sweatdropped.Ichigo had enough.
" SHUT UP ! " she shouted.
Kisshu pulled her back before she could finish them :
" Please, Ichigo ! It´s not good to kill people, remember ? "
Ichigo tried to calm down.
" I need help... " she said.
Zakuro reacted :
" You two are driving her crazy ! Why won´t you stop fighting ? And we´re almost there you should all shut your mouths before we have more problems with the cops. "
This didn´t really calm them, but they stopped getting on Ichigo´s nerves.And then everything returned to normal ( If you can call that normal ! ).
