Disclaimer: As much as I wish I owned Monkey Punch I don't. I only own Tsurugi, so don't steal her!
Author: I have finally gotten over my writers block and going full steam! Yay! Hope you enjoy this chapter. And again, any type of review is welcomed. -
Chapter 3: Around the World in...Again!
-Again, at Lupin's house, two days later-
"Are you guys ready or what?" Lupin's voice echoed throughout the house. He was standing in full costume, a French artist who wished to travel to America for inspiration. Fujiko appeared next to him, dressed like a show girl, leaving on tour. And not only was she dressed like it, she packed like it too. Goemon came from the kitchen with a bowl of miso soup. He only had to put on a mask and act old. Once Jigen came into view Lupin burst out laughing.
"Hey Jigen, where's the troop!?"
"Shut the hell up Lupin..." He grumbled. He was in a scout masters uniform and rather displeased by it. His story was that he was going to the states to enjoy Yellow Stone Park.
"Okay...So now that we're ready to go, we'll have to make one stop at Old Pop's mailbox." Lupin was rather excited about this heist, and couldn't wait till Zenigata was chasing him all around the globe.
-Meanwhile at Zenigata's place-
"Inspector, inspector...INSPECTOR!" Tsurugi's voice filled the room.
"Five more minutes mommy..." Was that Zenigata said.
"Damn...He's one hell of a deep sleeper--" She broke off getting an idea. She ran out of the house, only after opening his window, and sat down on her bike. She then turn the key and Zenigata's loud screaming could be heard.
"Shimatte Miss Hattori!"
She turned the bike off and smiled while walking back up the stairs. "Finally got you to wake up..." She handed him the note that Lupin had left him.
Hey Pops,
Long time since the last heist, yeah? We'll be in the States in a few hours, found a nice new heist. See you there.
Lupin the III.
"Well, now what, Inspector?" Tsurugi's voice cleared his mind of the fact that he could just haul up and leave.
"Just call me Zenigata...And, go pack. I have a feeling that this is going to be one long trip." He shook his head, hands covering his face.
She returned a few moments later, in a kimono. Her sword was on her back, her gun tucked safely in her obi, and her hair was put up with many different clips. Zenigata took note of that.
"Why, if you don't mind me asking Miss Hattori, do you have so many different hair things?"
She laughed slightly before answering. "Do you expect me to pick locks with just my fingers? It's a good hiding place, don't you think?"
"Uh...Yeah." Was all Zenigata could say. He was shocked that she had such useful qualities, all the same as Lupin's gang. 'It's almost too good to be true.' He thought before slapping on one of his stupid smiles. "All right Miss Hattori, we need to get on the next flight to the States."
"Oh please, enough with the Miss Hattori bull shit. Just call me Tsurugi." She said giving him a fake punch and a wink.
"Uh right. Well Miss er, Tsurugi, lets go then." He opened the door for her, and she left carrying just a small carry-on bag. Zenigata soon followed after with a large suitcase, mostly filled with paper work.

Sorry this one was a tad bit short. Only so much can be done before you leave for a flight! And I didn't want it to be one of those NEVER ending chapters. Those make me made. So Chapter 4 will just be like a continuation of this chapter. Thanks for your patients!
