Chapter 24: Mama Don't You Love Me?
-Two Days Later-
Tsurugi came out of the bathroom all dolled up, ready for the heist. Jigen came from their room looking the same as usual. Rolling her eyes, Tsurugi straightened his tie and they got into the car with the ever eager Lupin.
"All right lovely lady and handsome gentleman, we're off to learn how to be better parents." Jigen looked at Lupin a bit strangely and Tsurugi came to the rescue.
"Yes, yes we are Lupin. Thanks for giving us a lift to the class." Catching the very small hint, he nodded and gave a cheesy smile. Upon reaching the parenting class, Lupin shook his head. It was a rather dingy looking place on the outside. Lupin didn't think the treasure map was right, that is, until they all went inside the actual building. Inside it was rather pleasant and decorated in a calm manner so that everyone could be relaxed while learning.
Lupin left as soon as the classes started, and the couple took their seat.
"Hello. I'm Miss. Oni. It's nice to see that I'm not the only Asian here." She commented, looking over at Tsurugi. Tsurugi just nodded in her direction. The teacher continued on with her welcoming speech. "As you all guessed this is a parenting class. And as I look around, I see there are a few of you that look like you could use some help." She glanced through the 'students' stopping on Jigen. Giving him a cheerful smile, all he did in return was scoff at her. She shook it off and continued.
"Now, since you know me a little, lets all introduce ourselves." A few grumbles came from the male population, while the females, aside from Tsurugi, seemed to have already done that. "Why don't you start?" She said to Tsurugi. Sighing she looked at Jigen and then spoke her name to the class.
"I'm Yamii." And then she shut up. The teacher didn't seem too pleased by this, but didn't question her either. Jigen was next and he pulled the same stunt, calling himself Jack. The rest of the people continued until there was a large explosion in the basement. Tsurugi excused herself to the bathroom, because she was feeling sick and Jigen soon followed to help her just before that. Everyone else left, running for their lives except for Miss. Oni. She took off after Tsurugi and Jigen but soon left calling them crazy from over her shoulder.
In the basement all Jigen and Tsurugi could do was stare at the damage Lupin had done. The concrete was everywhere, both nearly tripping on several occasions. Sighing, a happy looking Lupin finally showed his head. They both glared slightly at him, seeing as he hadn't found the treasure they were looking for yet.
"Where's Goemon and Fujiko?" Jigen questioned. The other's heads rose slowly from their hiding places as well. Goemon was shaking his, as if to say he had nothing to do with the explosion. Fujiko just laughed a bit nervously, as they looked at them retreating from their hiding spots.
"Wasn't that a bit…explosive?" Tsurugi said as she stifled a laugh from her really bad joke. They all just looked at her, mouths gapping.
"Wow, are you feeling all right?" Lupin asked. This was even bad on his standards, and that was pretty sad. She nodded and blushed slightly. She knew it was lame, but it couldn't have been that lame. Sighing she looked at Lupin.
"So where is this treasure?" She asked, really wanting to go and just relax. He pointed to the giant crater in the ground. Shaking her head, she laughed again at her own stupidity. "Stupid me…" She claimed before sitting on a newly formed chunk of rock.
"You okay Tsurugi?" Jigen muttered as he helped the rest of the gang get the treasure, which was jewels this time, out of the hole. She nodded slowly and sat there watching. The three months were finally beginning to wear on her. Smiling she stood up to try and help, but was only taken to the car by Fujiko and placed in the front seat.
-The Car-
"You just sit here and relax while we finish up, okay?" Fujiko was doing her best to be nice, but she was also trying to be firm, keeping her hand on Tsurugi's arm. When Tsurugi tried to get up, Fujiko's grip tightened causing Tsurugi to sit back down.
"Fine, fine. But hurry up, I'm hungry." She pouted crossing her arms to show she meant business. Fujiko just chuckled as she got up and left Tsurugi in the car.
Sitting impatiently, she began tapping her fingers on the dashboard. Sighing heavily, she shifted positions, letting out one more deep sigh.
-Back in the Basement-
Fujiko returned just as the men were finishing loading up the sacks they had brought. Jigen mumbled something about Fujiko under his breath and Goemon seemed to nod at the idea. Feeling left out Lupin chimed in loudly.
"What are you two talking about!" This ended up with him being beaten slightly by the sheath of Goemon's sword. Crying to himself, they all began dragging the sacks upstairs. Once they reached the car, the found that Tsurugi was on the hood, meditating.
"What the hell are you doing!" Jigen asked as she opened one eye slightly to the sound of his voice. Closing it again she responded simply. "Meditating." Glaring at her from under his hat, and stormed up to the car, grasping her wrist forcefully.
"Get off the car. We're leaving…NOW!" Opening both eyes as she was tugged off the roof, she gave Jigen a swift slap to the face, knocking off his hat.
"Don't you EVER do that to me again! You got that?" She screamed and then plopped herself into the car, slamming the door before he could answer her. Standing stunned, the rest of them, slowly broke from their trances and got into the car. Fujiko and Goemon sat in the back with Tsurugi and let Lupin and Jigen sit up front. They didn't want anymore commotion while they were on their last heist.
-Back in the hotel-
Tsurugi had gone straight to the room her and Jigen were sharing and locked the door. Still fuming about what had happened earlier, he paced around the front of the door waiting for her to open up. She'd be hungry sooner or later, and it would probably be much sooner than any time later. About four hours later, he began to bang on the door.
"Tsurugi! This is RIDICULOUS! Open the damned door NOW!" He shouted, as if it would help. Getting no response, he only yelled even louder. "IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS FRIGGIN' DOOR I'LL BREAK IT IN!" Still getting nothing back from her, he looked at Lupin. Pointing from him to the door, silent in anger, Lupin quickly picked the lock, not wanting to be one to get shot.
Sound asleep on the bed, Tsurugi hadn't budged. Stomping over to her, she didn't move, only causing Jigen to be angered even more. "TSURUGI IF YOU DON'T ANSWER ME--!" Caught off guard by a creeping Lupin, he glared.
"Jigen, shut the hell up. Can't you see she's sleeping?" Lupin said as cautiously as possible, for him that is. Looking down at Tsurugi finally, he turned and left the room rather ashamed. He didn't even pay any attention to what he was yelling at. Something had been bothering him since the car incident and he just couldn't stop yelling.
Lupin stayed in the room, looking at Tsurugi slightly before turning to follow Jigen out and leave her to rest. Then he heard a soft mumbling.
"Doesn't he love me anymore?"
