Saturday...

It was back to school for all of us and the energy was high as the sky. Everyone kept chatting loudly while Minako and I talked about the meaning of life.

"Well, other girls be like, 'OMG, I like him, but why doesn't he like me?!'" Minako said with a faux annoying girly voice, "And I'm just like, 'why am I always hungry?'"

I laughed, "Me too." I said, "I wonder... Why don't I get fat? I wouldn't mind that one bit..."

"That's nonsense." Lee dismissed, "Life ain't nothing but bitches and money. Take that new student up front..." He pointed to a glasses wearing girl. Luckily, Fuuka went out on errand and Lee liked to amuse himself by looking at girls.

"Dude, don't go for chicks with glasses, they tend to be really shy." Kenji said.

The girl looked sensually at Lee.

"The same shy girl who just eye-fucked the hell outta me." Lee purred lustily,

Several classmates on the front row looked at Lee.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Kenji apologized for Lee, "Hey, Lee, why don't you say it louder, I don't think the Principal heard you from his office."

"Alright, look Kenji... I'm sorry... Okay? I'm sorry that I'm not sorry, okay? I'm not even gonna apologize here- I'm a cocksman!" Lee cried.

Several classmates stopped talking to give Lee offended looks.

"He suffers from Tourette's." I explained hastily.

"Dude, how do you even get girls to like you?" Junpei cried.

"Well, not all like me... Take one of my ex's before..." Lee recounted, "Literally after I broke up with her, she ruffied me into having sex with her and she gave me S.T.D.'s... well, at least Taylor Swift would just write a song about me." Lee joked.

Just then, Ms. Toriumi entered.

"Order!" Ms. Toriumi cried, "People, order!"

"I'll have a bowl of stir fried noodles!" Junpei cried.

"A Hagakure bowl!" Kenji cried.

"Yo, I'll have some sashimi on the go!" Lee said.

"So not funny." Ms. Toriumi muttered.

We had regualr classes then. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and after I concluded my business, and went in the room, where we waited for the teacher, when someone unexpected came in and greeted me.

"Minato! Jolly good, old bean!" Cato greeted.

Somewhat awkwardly, I greeted back, "Hello Cato."

He went forward to me, "Listen... There's something I have to say to you in front of all these people..." He said with a venomously menacing voice, even grabbing my collar.

"Yeah!?" I said, looking nervously at everyone, who stopped talking to listen.

Cato got on one knee, "Can you ever forgive me for being a jerk to you and your friends?"

I was confused, and so was everyone else present, "What?"

"Yes, indeed. I recently came from a trip from Nepal, where I met the esteemed Dalai Llama... I found my self in the beautiful mountains and converted to Buddhism there. I've found a much more spiritual calling and donated millions of yen out of my trillion dollar inheritance." Cato said, "And that was not enough to atone it, so I thought it be best if I came here to apologize."

"Well, yeah-" I began.

"Justaminute!" Minako cried loudly, "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"I already told you." Cato said patiently.

"Oh yeah..." Minako said. Cato went down on one knee and kissed her hand.

"Quit slobbering my hand, Fresh!" She cried as she slapped Cato.

"Sorry," Cato apologized, "But, Minato... Would it be fine for us to... Hang out?" He mumbled. I guess this awkward request was Cato's way of trying to be nice.

"Okay," I said with little hesitation.

The teacher entered as Cato went out.

After classes, we went to Le Pinque.

Cato was already there, laughing jovially with Junpei, Quan, Lee, Kenji and everyone else.

"Oh, wotcher Minato!" Cato greeted, "Come and have a seat! Frappes are on me!"

We took a seat and accepted the frappes Cato bought.

"Hey, Cato, remember that one time we jacked you Lamborghini?" Lee asked loudly.

"Yep." Cato said forcefully, "And thanks. I did get quite a lot of money out of the Insurance company."

"Or when we jizzed in your sun tan lotion?" Junpei laughed.

Cato winced and looked nauseous.

"Or that time Minato rolled you down a hill and you got covered in poo?" Quan recounted.

"That's great. Cato, how was your trip to Nepal?" Fuuka asked.

"It was splendid, thank you for asking." Cato said politely, "Sometimes I wonder why I didn't go there years ago. Would have been a better choice than in England or any opulent place. Why, Hide, Hortez, Michonne and Yo renounced me as their friend after I told them of my conversion."

"You know, that's bullshit." Minako said eith disgust, "People shouldn't judge or condemn people for what they believe in. To me, I think you can believe in anything you want to."

"Yes, well..." Cato fidgeted, "I must admit, I fell in love there. I'd like to spend my twilight years there in peace."

"Cato, you're a straight up guy." I said.

"Yup, that's Cato for you. Except when he acts all prudish." Quan said, putting a hand on Cato's shoulder.

"You two seem close." Minako said.

"Of course. After all, we were chums back in the days with Pink. Her hair, of course, was blonde back then." Cato said wistfully.

"Hey! I'm a natural pinkette!" Pink protested.

"I'm sure you are." Cato said, "Sadly, our old school would not approve of our behavior, especially when we hazed a student and he... Well, he was mortally injured."

"Yeah, it was a total shitstorm..." Quan muttered, "And my mum spanked me so hard, I reckon my right buttock never felt the same way again."

"Your mum spanks hard, eh?" Kenji mused, "Interesting..." Rio promotly smacked him.

"We also were cruel. Hide actually forced a neophyte to engage coitus with a lamb. Of course, he just locked them up in a room with a condom. Most would wank off and say they did the lamb... But he actually intimidated the neophyte to do it."

"Coitus?" Lee said quizzically.

"Coitus. Sexual intercourse? Edify yourself, sir!" Cato said as we roared in laughter.

"I need to use the loo." Cato excused himself and went to the bathroom.

"What's your take on Cato?" Lee nudged me after Cato left.

"Well, I do believe in second chances." I said, "He does seem sincere."

"What if he's just doing this to punk us?" Junpei suggested.

"Yeah, I don't believe that son of a bitch one bit." Quan said loudly.

"Right." Pink agreed.

"Come on guys, we should at least give him the benefit of the doubt. Besides, weren't you two like that too?" Minako said.

Quan and Pinky stiffened and nodded.

"You too, Lee? So you can escape your past?" Minako said.

Lee smirked wryly.

Cato went back. Naoto entered at the same time.

"Minato-san! I have some questions to ask." Naoto said, putting her Black Cloak on the hanger and looked at everyone.

"Relax Naoto. They're my friends. Whatever I know, they'll eventually know as well." I said. Cato smiled brightly.

Naoto nodded, "My client wanted to know about Holy Swords and I figured I should ask you."

"Okay, ask me."

"About this sword called 'Deus Xiphos'." Naoto said, "And one called 'Lucifer's Blade'."

"Deus Xiphos, roughly translated, means 'God's Blade'. If I'm right, the first wielder would have been David, second King of Israel, directly opposing Saul, who wielded its brother-blade, Lucifer's Blade. Both can take any appearance their masters will them to be. Like Saul, he preferred a spear, as opposed to David's sword. Actually, that's what corrupted Saul. He took Lucifer's Blade after massacring an Amalekite village. Even though it preferred wholesale slaughter, the blade told him not to follow God's will. But Deus Xiphos only stays with the direct descendants of their owners, unless they want peopleto touch it. The Messiah wielded it as well, except in staff form. He gave it to Peter on the night he was arrested, and used it to cut off the High Priest's servant. After that, Peter entrusted it to Messiah's wife, Magdalene. To which it was handed down from generation to generation."

"Wait, you're suggesting the Messiah was married?" Cato mused, "To the prostitute, Magdalene?"

My blood boiled defensively, probably due to my ancestral blood, "She was NOT a prostitute! OKAY!?" I shouted loudly as everyone cringed.

"Oh, my apologies!" Cato said sheepishly, "I forget my place. I apologize for speaking out of turn."

"No worries..." I mumbled.

"But I thought... Messiah was married...?" Naoto whispered.

"Let's not get into that right now..." I said placidly, "We ought to stick by the topic here. Magdalene was a direct descendant of the Royal House of the tribe of Benjamin. It's such an unfortunate misconception of her as a prostitute."

"But the Bible-" Kenji began, but I stopped him.

"Please... We'll be all day here if we debate on it... Let me just say that the Bible was not faxed directly from Heaven or anything. It wasn't hand delivered by Angels either... The Bible was man-made by Church Leaders who wanted to control the people by using religion. You'll be surprised how many unpublished Gospels there are, but I digress. Magdalene was NOT a prostitute. That was a lie spread by zealots who knew nothing of their history. She was a Princess. And as such, Messiah was a Prince as well. In fact, he was the rightful King of Israel. Both could wield it. The sword proved testiment to that."

"I see..." Naoto mused, "So... If it were to happen that... the true owner of the Deus Xiphos sword were to die...?"

"Strange question, but yeah. If 'he' were to die, and have no direct descendants, then the sword may be destroyed by the sword owner's killer."

"I see!" Naoto said brightly, "I thank you for your aid!" She then zipped out and took her Black Cloak with her.

We were then staring awkwardly at each other, until Lee spoke up.

"Messiah... was married?" He whispered again, echoing it once more.

I shrugged, "Would it be too bad if He were?"

Lee pursed his lips and shrugged, "I guess not. He died for this world, I think he can have any girl he wants. Besides, I don't think being the Son of God would ruin His chances with Magdalene."

"I don't believe that God exists at all." Hwoarang said, handing me a plate of burger steak.

"And why not?" I asked, chomping ravenously on the steak.

"Well, you walk out on the street and I realize that He doesn't exist. If He did, then tell me... Why are there so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If He truly existed, then there would be neither suffering nor pain. I just can't imagine a God who would allow all of that to happen." Hwoarang said. I didn't respond because I didn't want to start a fight.

Then, I saw a hungry man outside. I remembered my Theology lessons and recalled them.

"You know what? Chefs don't exist either." I said, munching on a bite of meat.

He seemed surprise, "You high or something? I'm a chef and I just cooked that meal up."

"Uh, no." I said defiantly, "Chefs don't exist because there are millions of people hungry in this world, like that man outside." I pointed outside.

"Yeah, but Chefs DO exist! That's what happens when people don't come to me." Hwoarang said.

"Exactly!" I cried, "That's the point. God DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and look for help. That's why there so much suffering bourne by this world.

He looked amazed, "Mind blown!" He cried, "Tell me more, tell me more!"

I obliged and began a long talk about it. The boys were as eager as well. After our talks, we escorted Hwoarang to the nearest chapel, with Lili present, and was baptized on that day. Pinky was very happy as well and got baptized too.

Hwoarang, Lili, Lee, Minako, Junpei, Rio and I went ahead.

"Man, do I feel good!" Hwoarang cried, "I always insulted those isahang salam's back in Korea for converting, but hot damn, do I feel good! I might even give that Wuan kid a break."

"It's Quan, dear." Lili said patiently, "Oh, I am so glad you converted, my dear! Oh, Daddy will be so pleased!"

"Heh, will he finally allow me in your house?" Hwoarang joked as Lili slapped him in the arm.

"You're welcome anytime!" Lili cried as Pinky entered the cafe looking like a happy elf.

"Wheeeeeeee!" Pinky squealed as she jumped up and down.

"What's going on, Pink?" I asked.

"Hey, guess what? Quanny gave me 1,000 yen just to climb a tree!" Pinky said triumphantly.

"Pinky, you dummy, he just did that so he can see your panties!" Minako cried.

"Is that so?" Pinky said innocently, "Thank God I wasn't wearing any!"

"Pinky! Why'd you let Quan-" Rio began but her voice was drowned by Hwoarang's outraged cry.

"What?!" Hwoarang shouted as he went out, "What'd he do?!"

"He gave me 1,000 yen to climb up a tree and see my undies, Hwoa-oppa!" Pinky said cheerily, "Good thing I wasn't wearing any!"

"Son of a bitch!" Hwoarang spat, "Using my own moves against me! I'm gonna murder him!"

"Hwoarang, dear, please do not curse." Lili chided, "You've recently converted."

"Lili, sorry..." Hwoarang said, "I mean... I'llmurder that nerd and then go to confession with Reverend Ralf!"

"Hey, don't be so mean to Quan!" Pinky frowned.

"You shut up as well!" Hwoarang snapped, "I ought to bump your head with that loser to see which one has the smaller brain! Go wear some underwear now, before I make you eat it all!"

"You are so mean!" Pinky cried as she went upstairs.

"Don't sass me, girl!" Hwoarang shouted after her.

Then, Quan entered the store.

"Hey peop- H-Hey Hwoa-jiā! L-Looking bitching, bro! Hehe, go forth and may you bear fruit!" Quan said nervously.

"Cut the crap, schmuck guan-guang!" Hwoarang shouted, "Come here!"

Quan gulped as Hwoarang kicked his shoes, and something snapped back. We saw that his boots revealed two very sharp and gleaming heel knives on each boot.

Quan backed away, "Uh, I remembered I have things to do!" He then ran away.

"Come back here, nerd!" Hwoarang shouted as he ran after him, "I want to talk to you!"

"You're going to Hell if you kill me!" Quan threatened.

"Worth it!" Hwoarang shouted.

Pinky raised an eyebrow as she went down, "What happened?"

We laughed at Pinky's naïveness.

Hwoarang went back complaining about the shin-kick Quan gave him. Quan himself went back and was covered in scratches and wounds to his face. He was pretty surly, but acted normal.

Later, we went home and after hanging out with Minako, I decided to sleep. I mean, I WAS about to sleep, when a knock eminated from Narda. I hurried to open it. When I did, a girl wearing tangerine orange pajamas entered the room imperiously.

It was Minako. With her was a pillow, a blanket and a Teddie bear. She immediately jumped at my bed.

"Hey Minato." She said.

I put my hands at my hips and looked at her.

"I'm gonna sleep over tonight. Auntie went to the next city for canasta and to visit a wake. Also, I don't want to sleep in that big house alone."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh you... You got a thousand reasons up your silky sleeves." I said as I laid at the bed, "I know you just want to sleep next to me." I said with a sarcastic smile, "Right? I'll allow you. But do know that lots of girls kill for the honor."

"Oooh! Minato, you stud! Thanks!" She said in baby talk, hugging my head as she tickled me, so much that I couldn't help but almost peeing my pants. Note: almost.

"Hahahaha! Hey, quit it! Hahahaha!" I laughed as she got on top of me and tickled my armpits roughly, "Hahahaha! Why can't you sleep by yourself? You're already grown up!"

She pushed me and pouted as she lay beside me, "Fine, I'll sleep at the floor then..."

"Awww, Minako!" I said, "You're my best friend. If you want, I'll sleep on the floor. On the chair, sitting up. If you ask for it, I'll sleep on the roof, or even the bathroom. On a field with a thunder rod sleeping hat during a thunderstorm. Fine by me!" I said cheerfully as I threw my pillows and a blanket on the floor and unfolded my couch futon, "Just so my beloved Hamuko would sleep comfortably. Anything, just for you." I said, looking into her eyes, which Junpei warned me not to do, since he heard red eyed, redheaded girls can steal souls.

"Thank you, Minato!"

I nodded and smiled.

"Minato?" She squeaked.

"What?" I said.

"...the lights..." She moaned.

"You know I can't sleep without the lights." I grunted.

She clasped her hands together, "Puh-puh-puh-puhlease?" She did with her puppy dog eyes.

"Ohhhh... don't give me those puppy dog eyes... Okay, fine..." I groaned as I turned off the lights.

"Hehe! Thank you Minato!" She said.

"Sure."

"Night-night!" She kissed my cheek as she went to bed.

I stared at the ceiling, "Minako?"

"Yes?" She said.

"If this Prince Charming guy doesn't go for you... I'll force myself to fall in love with you..."

She threw a pillow at me, "Playa!"

"Hahaha, love you!" I said.

"Weh!" she said as she rolled to her side, "Silver tongued moron."

I laughed as I laid down. For some reason, I felt like looking at her again.

I took my camera and decided to picture her. She looked stunning without her ponytail and I felt happy to do this. I snapped on the shutter and the sound and flash woke her up.

"What's up, man?!" She said angrily, "How can I get my beauty sleep if you keep picturing me like the paparazzi to Julia Robertson wearing a thong?!"

I laughed as we fell asleep that night.

Would it ever get any better than this? Knowing Minako, it would, very soon.
