Soon, the team was paying. "You three say a single word, and Daichi gets to have his stabby way with you lot." Ray sighed.

"I'm not sure which sounds weirder; that with sexual innuendo, or without it." Kai announced.

"Excuse me sir. The price isn't coming up on these." the check-out assistant announced.

"Your parents should've died for conceiving you..." Ray muttered. "Sorry, what?" he asked.

"I'm sorry. The barcode on this box of tampons appears to be damaged. I'll do a price check." she continued.

"Oh no..." Ray moaned.


"Can I get a price check on Mountain Breeze Tampons, Quiet Package size," the assistant called.

"Ray has a quiet package!" Tyson laughed. Kai and Max snorted with laughter.

"You three are so dead." Ray growled.

"Extra-large, collapsible, easy application, pearl-tip..." the assistant continued.

"Here! 10000 yen! Keep the change!" Ray yelped.

"Tampons..." the assistant blinked. The word echoed throughout the store.

Ray twitched, until he finally snapped.

"YES! I, RAY KON, MEMBER OF THE BLADEBREAKERS, FORMER OF WHITE TIGER X, AND KEEPER OF DRIGER, AM BUYING TAMPONS!" he screeched.

The assistant looked bewildered.

"SMALL THINGS THAT MARIAH WILL STICK IN HER YOU-KNOW-WHATS FOR SOME REASON THAT I AND MY FELLOW MEN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!! TAMPONS!!" he yelled.

He laughed manically. "Let's say it again! Tampons, tampons, tampons, tampons!" he giggled, grabbing the assistant's phone. "TAAAMMMPOOONNNS!" he screamed.

He panted, and burst into tears.

"Off goes a broken man." Kai sighed, holding a bag of shopping.

"Yeah, no kidding." Max nodded, holding the other.

"Have a nice daaaaaay!" Tyson grinned, his hand on a weeping Ray's shoulder.


MEANWHILE

Hilary was still looking at the condoms. "They come in flavours?!" she cried.
