Chapter 4

5pm

Knock knock

"Come in." said Baiken and the door opened.

Ky looked in. "Bonjour. Where's Anji?"

Baiken indicated a direction with her head. Ky turned and found Anji on the mattress, sleeping soundly.

"Took him an hour to settle down and sleep." said Baiken and sighed in frustration. "When will he return to normal and get out of my life?"

"You mean you prefer the adult Anji?" asked Ky.

Baiken stared at Ky and said, "No. Both are equally annoying, adult and child."

"Well, he should wake up now for his shower." said Ky and walked to the little boy. "Anji? Anji, time to wake up for shower."

Anji frowned and turned over.

"Come on, Anji, wake up." said Ky gently, pushing the boy slightly.

Anji opened his eyes slowly. "Huh?"

"Let's go shower."

Anji got up, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Come on."

Anji yawned, but didn't move. Ky extended his hand to Anji and he took it.

"He needs some clothes to change." said Ky, looking at Baiken.

"Why look at me?" snapped Baiken. "I'm not his real mother, I don't have any clothes for his size."

"Pardon," said Ky and turned. "Well, I will go around and borrow some… come, Anji."

"Oi, can't Anji stay in your room?" asked Baiken. "You seems okay compare to the rest of the guys here in the hostel."

"Merci, that's a very nice compliment. He could, but not tonight."

"Why?"

"Because Sol is coming to pick another fight with me. We will be fighting in the Combat Room non-stop. Unless Sol changes his mind about coming, which is very unlikely. Tomorrow night then."

"Whatever."

"Bye Mummy." said Anji, following Ky.

Baiken didn't respond.

"Baiken-san, Anji says bye." said Ky in surprise.

"Like I care."

"Baiken-san!"

"Okay, okay, bye," said Baiken and muttered. "And get out of my sight."

"Where are we going first, oniisan?" asked Anji, holding onto Ky's hand.

"To get some clothes for you first. Hmm, Bridget stays in…"

He knocked on Room 11. But no one answered.

"Oh well… guess you have to wear girl's clothes…"

"Girl? I don't want to wear a dress!" said Anji straightaway.

"Don't worry, I won't borrow a dress." said Ky cheerfully and knocked on the door number 12.

The door opened and Dizzy looked out. "Ah, Ky-chan!" she said in delight.

"Do you have any extra clothes for Anji? He needs to change."

"Eto… my clothes are all too big for him…"

"Never mind, as long as he could get some fresh clothes…"

"Ah, I think I have some clothes that I kept away when I grew too big for them and didn't bear to throw them away… come in."

Ky and Anji came in and found Testament sitting on the floor with the board game entitled "Go Home Gear".

"Wait for a moment, Testament, I need to get some clothes for little Anji…" said Dizzy, opening her closet.

Anji sat down and looked at the board with interest while Dizzy and Ky looked through the closet.

"Too pink." said Ky, looking at the pink shirt with yellow flower in front that Dizzy showed him.

"But it's adorable!"

"Dizzy, Anji is a boy."

"Sorry, but I really think he should wear something else besides this." said Ky apologetically.

"Okay, how about this one?" asked Dizzy, showing Ky a white shirt with a teddy bear in front.

"I guess this one is okay."

Dizzy smiled and gave the shirt to Ky.

"I need some more, in case Anji takes a very long time to change back to normal…can I have that blue shirt with a grey aeroplane?"

"Take it. You need some shorts?"

"Can I play?" asked Anji innocently to Testament.

"This is not an ordinary game, human boy," said Testament. "You will get burn in the end if you lose. It's not as bad as getting burn from Badguy's Fireseal, but still…"

"Sounds like fun! Can I play?"

"… No."

"Why not?"

"Too dangerous. Humans can't play this."

"Aren't you human?"

"No, but you are. That's why you can't play."

"You don't want to share, I'm going to tell Mummy."

Testament frowned deeply. "Ky-Kiske, when you done, please take this brat away with you."

Ky, whose arms were full with clothes, turned his head. "Huh?"

"Oniisan! He says I can't play!" wailed Anji, pointing at Testament. "He doesn't want to share! Meanie!"

Testament turned his head to Ky and Dizzy. "If he's the adult Anji, I swear I will fight with him for that remark."

"Anji," said Ky gently. "You can't play this game."

"Why not?" asked Anji, pouting.

"It's dangerous. Only Testament and Dizzy could play. You will get seriously injured if you play. Do you want your mummy to scold you for that?"

Anji was still before he shook his head.

"I will buy you a safe game for you to play, okay?" asked Ky.

"Really?"

Ky nodded.

"Today?"

"Err, maybe tomorrow. No, the day after tomorrow."

"Then I can play with you!" said Dizzy.

"I want!"

"Tres bien," said Ky and handed the clothes to Dizzy. "Can you put them in a bag?"

"So I will get a new game tomorrow?" asked Anji, tugging Ky's trousers.

"I said the day after tomorrow." said Ky.

"So I will get the game the day after tomorrow?"

"Yup," said Ky and took the bag from Dizzy. "Thank you. Remember to turn up tomorrow… ah, oh yes, May and Bridget have decided to learn roller-blading instead with Axl, do you still want to learn cycling from me?"

"I prefer cycling." said Dizzy, smiling.

"Good, see you then. Come on, Anji." said Kym taking Anji's hand. "Say goodbye to Dizzy and Testament."

"Bye Dizzy, bye meanie."

"Anji!" said Ky in horror, running out of the door. "Bye Dizzy! Bye Testament!"

Testament narrowed his eyes and Dizzy quickly went to calm him down before he decided to murder the boy for the remark.

Ky helped Anji to take out his clothes in the changing room next to the shower room.

"Place your dirty clothes in the laundry basket here," said Ky, tossing the shirt into the basket and taking off his clothes as well.

Ky gave Anji his towel that Dizzy had given, which was full of flowery pictures.

"And while you are here, place your footwear in your cupboard," said Ky, placing Anji's sandals into a cupboard labeled 'Anji'.

"We don't want the room to be full of dirty footprints."

As Ky placed his shoes neatly into the cupboard labeled 'Kiske', he frowned at the marker written text: "the Boy Scout" at the side of his name. "Must be Sol that bastard…"

"Did someone mention my name?" said a voice and the two turned.

Sol was there, with his wet towel around his lower body and his upper body naked. His hair dripping wet, but his 'Rock You' headband was still around his head.

"What are you doing, Boy Scout? Giving the kid a tour around the hostel?" asked Sol as he opened his cupboard and took out his clothes.

"None of your business." said Ky, looking away as Sol put on his clothes.

Sol looked at Anji' towel. "That's the sissiest towel I have ever come across."

"It's not his," said Ky straightaway.

"It's yours then?" asked Sol, smirking as he buckled his belt.

Ky scowled and put his hand on Anji's shoulder. "Let's go in."

"By the way, Boy Scout…" said Sol, throwing his towel into the laundry basket.

"What?"

"I probably will be in the Combat Room at midnight."

Ky's mouth dropped. "What? Why is it so late?"

"I have something on. Don't you fall asleep when I'm there."

"Mon dieu," groaned Ky, "I need some sleep…"

"Chicken French Boy Scout."

Ky frowned.

"You're on!"

"See you later," said Sol, waving as he left.

The guys' shower room was practically like a huge bath. A big pool was there with water pouring out from the mouths of the two small stone lions which were fixed on the wall. There was a small diving board as well. However, if the guys didn't want to soak in the pool, they could go to the showers cubicles provided. Shelves were provided for the guys to place their weapons in case they had just came back from a fight. There was a phone with a sign that said: "In case of fighting in the room, please use this phone to call Ky" A big first aid cabinet was there too.

"Oi, what's keeping you two?" called Axl, as he sat beside the pool, washing his hair.

"Good thing too, Sol was here just now." said Johnny, who had taken off his shades, revealing his natural blue eyes. He was soaking himself in the pool. "Ky and Sol will probably start a fight here."

"Non, I saw him just now," said Ky grumpily and turned to Anji. "Come Anji…"

Anji was looking up. "Oniisan…"

"Hmm?"

"There seems to be a hole on the roof…" said Anji, pointing upwards.

Johnny chuckled. "That's not a hole, squirt, the roof is like that. Otherwise how do you expect us to bath if it rains?"

"It's glass, Anji," said Ky, looking at the glass ceiling. "Don't bother about that, Anji, let's go to the pool…"

"Wow!" exclaimed Anji, looking away from the roof and to the pool.

The next thing the three guys knew, Anji had jumped into the pool, splashing water everywhere.

"Hey!" said Axl, "this is not play-pool, Mito!"

"Come on, he's just a kid…" said Ky as he took out a shower lotion from a cabinet.

"Oh yeah. Any idea when is he changing back?"

"No, Baiken-san didn't say."

"It better be soon, I'm beginning to miss seeing Anji flirting with Baiken," said Axl when he thought of something. He rinsed the shampoo off his hair and went to Anji, who was playing with the waters. "Oi, Anji."

Anji looked up.

"Why do you stick with Baiken? I mean, among all of the girls in the hostel, she's the coldest, most fierce one. I saw her yelling at you at the canteen in the afternoon, don't you rather stick with May or Dizzy or Millia…"

"I like Baiken Mummy."

"Why?" asked Axl in interest.

"Because I like."

"You are not answering. I'm asking you why."

"Because I like."

"Ah, forget it," said Axl in exasperation. "Can't get anything out from you… oi, let me tell you one thing about your Mummy. She has a picture of a white and pink dragon on her back."

Anji's mouth dropped open and he said, "Cool!"

Johnny came swimming over in excitement. "When did you see that?"

"Yesterday evening. I have my ways." Axl looked at Anji. "You ask your Mummy to show you that next time…" He turned to Johnny. "And Millia, she has a tattoo of a heart with flames on her chest…"

"Whoa…" said Anji slowly.

"What does that mean?" asked Johnny.

Axl shrugged.

"Oh. Oi, why didn't you call me along when you went to see all these?"

"I tried, but you were busy with May."

"Stuck, Axl, stuck." corrected Johnny.

"Hey Anji, want to come along with me and Johnny next time to see those pictures on the girls?"

"Can I?" asked Anji eagerly.

"Oi, oi!" called Ky, washing off the soap off his body. "Stop bringing bad influence to little Anji! You want Baiken to murder you?"

"Like she cares whether little Anji will go astray, he's not hers." said Axl, waving his hand.

"Oui, but what if he tries to see the tattoo on Baiken's back without her permission? She will ask him whom give him the idea. I heard that Baiken had just bought herself a new samurai sword."

Silence.

"Forget whatever I have said, Anji," said Axl straightaway, looking as pale as chalk. "Be a good little boy."

"But…"

"Don't try that."

"But I want to see!"

"No." said Johnny as well. "Maybe when you are older."

Anji frowned, then he got out of the pool.

"Anji?" asked Ky.

"I want to see!" said Anji, running out of the room.

"Mon dieu, Anji! Axl Low, you idiot!" scolded Ky, running after the little boy, but not without grabbing a towel for himself first.

"Oi, wait for me!" said Johnny, getting out of the pool. A grin was on his face.

Axl was still before he slowly said, "Oops."

He then quickly got out.

Anji ran out of the guys' shower room and saw the ladies' shower room that was right beside the guys' shower room. Smiling in delight, he ran in.

"Anji!" exclaimed Ky, running out of the room, a towel around his lower body. But he spotted no one.

"Where is he?" asked Johnny, coming behind him. Axl was out as well.

Ky muttered a few curses in French before he heard girls screaming in the ladies' shower room.

"Uh oh." said Johnny.

"Holy Father, please forgive me for doing this," said Ky and ran into the ladies' shower room, following by Johnny and Axl.

"Anji, have you gone mad?" demanded Baiken, picking up the boy with her one arm.

"Hao ke ai oh! (So cute in Chinese)" said Jam, trying to pat Anji before Baiken shifted him away in irritation, covering herself with his body completely.

"What are you doing here?" asked Baiken.

"Mummy, I want to see your picture." said Anji innocently.

"What picture?"

"The picture on your back." said Anji, trying to get himself over Baiken's shoulder to see the tattoo.

"You mean the dragon?" said Baiken. "Who the hell…"

"Ah, I see the heart with fire picture!" said Anji, pointing at the tattoo on Millia's chest as it showed out of the edge of the bathrobe that Millia was wearing.

Millia covered her tattoo. "Who told you all this, boy?"

Before Anji could answer, Ky ran in, followed by Axl and Johnny.

Straightaway, screams were heard throughout the whole shower room.
