Chapter 7
Room 34
"There is some progress," said Yaone the next day when Baiken asked her for the solution for Anji's condition. "So far I only know that one of the ingredients that could to change him back is the Chinese ginseng root schnapps…"
"Give him that then." said Baiken.
Yaone shook her head quickly. "It's still in experimental process, I test it on one of the baby mice and they change to adult mice straightaway, but only physically. They are still babies mentally."
"Oh well, he's already behaving like a kid when he's an adult anyway…"
"That's different," said Yaone. "You want him to behave like a retard?"
"… Well, hurry up, he can't stay like that forever." said Baiken and turned around. "Anji, don't touch that!"
Anji froze, his hand inches away from the beaker filled with shiny blue liquid.
"Okay, I need more of his blood."
"Not again!" said Baiken. "How much more of his blood you want?"
Yaone shrugged helplessly. "I used up his blood yesterday. If only I have the potion that caused all this, then I won't need his blood…"
Anji followed Baiken to the canteen and found Axl and Johnny, drinking.
"Drinking in broad daylight?" asked Baiken. "You two have nothing better to do?"
"That's right," said Johnny, swinging his can of beer. "We have nothing to do. Because all my porn videos have been erased."
"And Johnny needs time to get new ones." said Axl, grinning.
Then, he said, "Oh yeah, here you go, Anji."
He picked up his DS and handed it to Anji. "Give it back to me when you are done playing."
"Thank you!" said Anji, taking the machine.
He looked at the beer with interest. "Is it really that good to drink?"
"Good," said Johnny. "Even your mummy likes to drink."
"Excuse me," said Baiken. "I drink sake, not beer."
"Both have alcohol," said Johnny. "Same thing."
"Give me a bit." said Anji.
Johnny shifted a can of beer to Anji.
"Arigato, oniisan!"
"Oi!" snapped Baiken.
"Joking." sang Johnny and shifted the can away. "You must wait until you are 20… err, at least you were over 20 a few days ago…"
"Anji doesn't even drink when he's an adult." said Baiken.
"Well, that's true…anyway, if Ky sees us giving you alcohol, he will probably start his preaching again, I just hate preaching…" said Axl.
"I don't understand, what are they talking about, Mummy?" asked Anji.
"Don't bother," said Baiken and took Anji's hand. "Let's go."
"But I want to drink a bit!" wailed Anji.
"Wait until you are older." said a voice and straightaway, a hand reached out and took a can of beer from Axl's share.
"Oi!" said Axl.
"You owe me," said Sol and he opened the can to drink. "Forcing me to make a sandcastle with that boy-scout…"
"Oh give me a bit, please!" said Anji.
All three guys looked at Anji and said, "No."
"Only adults can drink." said Axl, sticking out his tongue playfully and continue to drink. "Ah, this is so good…"
Sol drank his can of beer as if he was drinking plain water. Johnny, on the other hand, drank slowly, savoring every single drop.
Anji pouted and Baiken practically had to use all of her arm's strength to pull him away from the three drinking males.
Evening
Anji was playing Axl's DS when Baiken took a new bottle of sake from her mini fridge and sat down.
"What are you doing, Mummy?" asked Anji curiously.
"Drinking."
"What is this?" asked Anji, pointing at the sake bottle.
"Sake."
"Does this have alcohol?" asked Anji with interest.
"Yes."
"Can I drink?"
"No."
"Why?"
"You heard what Johnny and Axl said, you could only drink when you are older." said Baiken, pouring out the sake into the glass.
"Hah…" groaned Anji.
"Stop groaning and go back to your game." said Baiken and drank her sake. "Now this is good…"
Anji pouted and went back to the DS. From time to time, he glanced at Baiken, who kept on drinking until there's only half left in the bottle.
When she was done, Baiken kept the bottle into the fridge.
"I'm going for shower, coming, Anji?"
No response.
"Anji?"
Baiken looked and found Anji sleeping soundly, the DS under his hands. Rolling her eye, Baiken removed the DS and took out his glasses.
"I guess he will be okay by himself." she muttered and she left the room with the towel in her hand.
Once the door was closed, Anji opened his eyes. He got up and went to look for his glasses, which was on the table. Quickly, he put them on.
He then walked to the fridge and opened it. Smiling in delight and he carried out the bottle of sake.
"Wah, there is so much…" said Anji and sat down.
He removed the cork from the bottle and smelt the fragrance.
"Smells so nice… Mummy is such a meanie… what's the harm of drinking a bit?"
"Fine, so there're no videos, at least we could see that photobook of Leah Dizon!" said Axl cheerfully as he and Johnny went up the stairs. "How hot is she?"
"Very hot." said Johnny. "She's popular back in Japan in the 21st century… she's sexy in her bikinis…"
"Okay, I'm drooling…" said Axl and he stopped.
"Oi, is your door supposed to be opened?"
"Huh?" asked Johnny and he looked at his door. It was wide open.
"I forgot to lock it when you asked me to go for a drink just now, but it…"
Johnny went to his door and looked in.
"ARRRRGGHHHH!!"
Axl rushed after Johnny. "What the bloody hell…"
The room was in a mess. Photobooks of sexy models were all over the place, torn. A guitar was on the floor, its strings broken.
"Oh no, not this!" groaned Johnny, picking up his guitar. "This is a replica of John Lennon's guitar!"
"And your photobooks…" muttered Axl.
Johnny turned his head and gasped in horror. "My Leah! Who did this?"
He put down his guitar and looked miserably at the torn pages of his photobooks. He was closed to tears as he held his pages to his chest.
"May?" suggested Axl, picking up a page.
"She doesn't like me to go near other girls, but she won't wreck my guitar." said Johnny slowly. "Oh my poor poor Leah…"
"Oi, Johnny?"
"What?"
"Look at this." said Axl, pointing at something on the floor.
Johnny turned to see a childish scrawl that said: "I am Anji Mito!", written by a permanent marker on his wooden plank floorboard.
"Anji? What was Baiken doing?" demanded Johnny.
Then, they heard Millia screaming from her room. All they heard was the words "Get off me, please!"
Straightaway, Axl and Johnny ran out. The door of Room 16 opened as well and Sol looked out.
"What the…"
"Oh, I thought that it was you and Millia fighting." said Johnny, trying not to show his disappointment.
Sol stared at Johnny, and went to Millia's room. Looking in, he called, "Oi, Millia! What… huh?"
Axl and Johnny looked in and their jaws dropped.
Little Anji was hugging Millia tightly around the chest, his face was red and his eyes looked dazed. Millia was on the bed and she had her hands on Anji, trying to get the boy off without using the power of her hair.
"Oh my…" started Johnny.
"He's so lucky." said Axl with envy.
"Oi, Anji!" yelled Sol, running towards the two. "Get off from her!"
Anji looked at Sol and wrapped his arms around Millia tighter. "Don't want! I want my Mummy, you go away!"
"He thinks that I'm Baiken," said Millia. "I can't get him off."
"Mummy, I want to sleep…" sang Anji.
Millia laughed helplessly. "Anji, Anji, you can't sleep like this, just get off from me…"
"I want you to hug me as I sleep, Mummy…" said Anji, giggling madly.
"What's with him?" asked Sol, looking at Anji.
Millia shook her head. "Anji just came into my room and called me 'Mummy', I don't know…"
"What? Are you going to let him to hold you forever?" asked Sol, pointing at Anji.
Anji jumped at Sol's loud voice and cried, "Mummy, he's scary!"
Axl and Johnny laughed loudly at Anji's words. Then, they shut up when Sol turned and glared at them.
"Mummy, I don't want him here! Mummy!" said Anji as he cried.
"I think he's drunk or something," said Millia. "Look at his face…"
Anji sniffled and groaned. "Mummy, my head hurts…"
"Um, it's okay, Anji, Mummy will get something for you…" said Millia slowly.
Without warning, Sol grabbed Anji roughly from Millia.
"Sol!" exclaimed Millia.
Anji screamed and kicked, but Sol ignored him. Turning him around and holding him by the collar, Sol sniffed the smell that Anji had on his body. "Sake."
"Sake?" asked everyone in unison.
"Baiken gives him sake to drink?" asked Johnny in amazement.
At the word 'Sake', Anji's eyes lit up. "I want sake! I want sake! I want!!"
"No more sake for you, idiot!" said Sol firmly.
Anji turned around and looked at Sol with his blank eyes. Then, without warning, he kicked Sol, right where it hurt the most.
"Eeow!" shouted Sol as he let go.
"Anji!"
"He's dead." said Johnny and Axl.
They watched in amusement as Sol jumped around in pain. He then landed onto Millia's bed and lay there. Turning his head, he scowled at Anji. "You brat…" he gasped and groaned.
"Sol, are you all right?" asked Millia as she rushed to him.
Sol groaned in frustration. Cold sweat was breaking out from his forehead as he breathed heavily.
"Do I look all right? Now don't talk to me…" he closed his eyes and lay his head on Millia's pillow. "Oh I'm going to murder that kid…"
"Axl, Johnny, get Baiken, hurry!" said Millia as she tried to calm Sol down.
"Mummy!" said Anji. "I want sake!"
"Um, later, Anji!" said Millia and turned to the two friends. "Hurry up!"
"Where is she?" asked Johnny.
"In the shower room, I think."
"And get a punishment, again?" asked Axl.
"I don't want to scrub the shower room again." said Johnny.
"This is an emergency! Now go!" said Millia and turned to Sol. "Don't move, Sol, you will be fine…"
"You heard," said Johnny, grinning at Axl. "It's an emergency."
"Ky won't murder us for that, let's go!" said Axl and they ran off.
Anji stuck out his tongue at Sol and he walked off.
"Anji!" cried Millia and was about to go after him when she remembered Sol. Turning around, she checked up on Sol and found that he had passed out in pain. Caught between Sol and Anji, she didn't know whom to go for first.
In the end, she decided to go after Anji. Sol would be fine by himself, I-No wouldn't come into her room for him anyway…
Ky opened his door curiously, wondering what was the commotion about when he saw Anji, staggering.
"Anji, what are you doing?" asked Ky.
Anji looked up. Smiling widely, he waved. "Oniisan!"
"Wha…" Ky picked up Anji. "What's with your face? Why is it so red?"
"Ky!" exclaimed Millia, running towards Ky. "Anji is…"
Anji coughed, and then…
He vomited, right onto Ky's "Vive le France" T-Shirt.
"Mon dieu!" said Ky, letting go of Anji. "Anji!"
"Uh oh." said Millia and she muttered a curse in Russian.
"Oh my shirt! C'est horrible!" said Ky, tugging his shirt. "This is my favourite! And I have just showered!"
Anji stood unsteadily for a while before he vomited again on the floor.
"Mummy, I don't feel so good…"
"Stand there, don't move!" said Millia when she smelt the revolting smell of the vomit on the floor. Soon, she remembered the blood and the smell of the dead bodies... all those people she had killed during her days as an assassin….
Feeling her stomach turned, she turned and ran off to the nearest room, which was Bridget's room.
Millia banged onto Bridget's door. He opened his door and straightaway, Millia ran in to his toilet and Bridget could hear the Russian ex-assassin throwing up in the toilet bowl. Bridget looked out and found Ky looking miserably his shirt and Anji staring at the vomit on the floor.
"Anji, I will clean it up, don't worry!" said Ky as he took off his shirt slowly.
Ky was about to go and get some recycled newspaper when the phone rang in his room. Quickly, he went to pick it up.
"This is Ky Kiske, who is this?" he asked as he threw his shirt into the sink of his toilet.
"Ky! Come over to the ladies' shower room! Johnny and Axl are here!" yelled Jam over the phone.
"Jam, no!" said May frantically in the background.
"Jam, I think they…" started another voice.
"Is that Dizzy?" asked Ky.
"Yes!" said Jam. "Dizzy, May and I are all here!"
"That two bastards!" exploded Ky. "Hang in there, I'm coming over! How dare they!"
Ky hang up. Grabbing another shirt from his closet and his Thunderseal, he jumped over the vomit and ran off in top speed, steam coming out from his ears.
"Dizzy, I'm coming! Ne vous inquietez pas!" he yelled as he disappeared down the stairs.
Bridget looked away from Ky and to Anji, who looked back at him with sad eyes. "I didn't mean to…"
He then cried.
"Don't cry, little Anji." said Bridget quickly.
Anji continued to cry.
Bridget took out his yo-yo and started to play. "Look at this, Anji! Look!"
Anji looked at Bridget's brilliant stunts and blinked. He sniffled.
"Why don't I get another shirt for you?" asked Bridget, continued to play with the yo-yo.
Anji shook his head. "I don't want. I want to drink more sake…"
"Drink?"
Bridget looked at Anji's red face and understood everything, even though he didn't know how Anji got drunk in the first place.
"You need a change of clothes, really…"
The door of Room 13 opened and Testament looked out. "Did I just hear Ky Kiske yelling something about Dizzy?"
"It's nothing, I guess…" said Bridget. "Testament, can Anji use your toilet?"
Testament looked at Anji and curled his lip in disgust at the vomit.
"… My room doesn't have a toilet," said Testament. "I don't need one. What happened to yours?"
"It's taken." said Bridget and as if to prove his words, Millia could be heard throwing up again in his toilet.
"Jam and Dizzy aren't here… use Chipp's." said Testament and he walked to Room 15. "I think he didn't lock when he left…"
He opened it.
"Testament, can you carry Anji off the floor? I'm too young and short to carry him…" said Bridget.
"Tell him to walk."
"He can't, look at his feet."
Testament looked at Anji and sighed. Walking over, he squatted down and looked at Anji. "What happened to you, human child?"
Anji shrugged.
Testament held out his arms. "Don't you vomit on me. Let's go for shower."
"I don't want to shower." said Anji, backing away.
"You have to."
"I don't want!" said Anji, running off, but not in a straight line.
"Eew." said Bridget, looking at the dirty, sticky and wet footprints on the well-polished oak floor.
"Stop!" yelled Testament, running after Anji.
Then, Anji hit his face right onto Axl's door. Immediately, he fell back to the floor with a loud bang.
(Testament sweatdropped)
"Got you!" said Testament, grabbing hold of Anji.
"I don't want!"
The door of Room 24 opened and Zappa looked out. "Excuse me but will you keep it down? I'm trying to…"
Zappa looked at the dirty footprints on the floor and at Anji, who was struggling in Testament's arms. "What happened?"
"Nothing!" said Testament and he marched off, with Anji screaming, "I don't wanttt!!"
Looking at the huge mess, Zappa thought for a while and smiled, "I think I will clean it up."
He then went back to his room for a mop.
Chipp's room was in a mess. Comics and ninja stuff were all over the floor. The bed was unmade and there was dust in the room.
Stepping over the things, Testament placed Anji in the toilet and connected the hose to the water tap provided. He removed Anji's shirt and turned on the tap.
Anji screamed as the cold and strong force of water hit him. "Wahh!! I don't want water on my head! I don't want! I don't want!"
He ran, trying to get away from the water, but Testament grabbed hold of him. "It's okay! It's just water!"
Anji screamed and shouted, not hearing Testament at all. Quickly, Testament turned off the tap and Anji calmed down.
Testament tried to look for a bar of soap near the sink, but he didn't find any.
"Doesn't Chipp use soap…" muttered Testament and got up. "You stay here, I'm going to get some soap…"
He stepped out of the toilet and was about to get out of the room when he saw a bottle of test-tube with green liquid on Chipp's bedside table. It was near empty.
"What is this?" said Testament slowly, picking up the test-tube. "Is this soap? No…"
He opened the test-tube and sniffed it. "Smells weird… Wait, didn't Chipp say that…"
"Testament! Here's a shirt for Anji!" called Bridget and quickly, Testament put the test-tube into his pocket.
After a quick wash, Testament took Chipp's towel (which was stiff due to the long absence of its owner) and dried Anji. By that time, Anji's face had already gone back to his original colour.
"My head hurts." said Anji.
"Then go to sleep." said Testament, steering Anji out of Chipp's room.
They went to Baiken's room and knocked. But Baiken hadn't returned.
"Oh well, guess you have to sleep elsewhere…" said Testament, turning around. "Anji?"
Anji was gone.
"Oh no, where has he gone this time?" said Testament.
"He went to your room." said Zappa, who was now spraying the floor with spray can.
Testament went to his room and found Anji, out cold on his bed. Testament sighed and folded his arms.
"Really now…"
Ky appeared at the stairs, with Johnny, Axl and Baiken behind him.
"Why didn't you two just call for Baiken from the outside?" asked Ky.
"We tried!" said Johnny.
"No you didn't!" snapped Baiken. "You two just ran in!"
"Shower room duty!" said Ky loudly.
"Not again!" groaned Axl and Johnny.
"And I'm going to install phones outside the men's and ladies' shower rooms…" said Ky. "Can't barge in like that all the time…"
"So? Where is that idiot?" asked Baiken.
"In Millia's room." said Johnny and knocked on Room 17. "Oi, Millia! We bought Baiken!"
No response.
"Millia!"
"Wait, I think Anji has gone to…" started Ky when the door opened.
Sol looked out. "Shut up," he snapped. "Millia is sleeping."
"Where's Anji?" asked Axl.
"How would I know?" asked Sol, closing the door behind him. "I woke up and found Millia sleeping beside me. That little brat has gone elsewhere."
As Sol talked to Axl, Johnny looked over Sol's shoulder, trying to see what did Millia looks like when she was sleeping.
Swiftly, Sol turned and grabbed Johnny's collar. "What are you looking at?" he growled.
"Nothing," said Johnny. "Just that Millia has very nice…"
Sol tightened his grip on Johnny's collar.
"… curtains." ended Johnny and smiled.
Sol let go of Johnny and the latter sighed in relief.
"Like I said," said Ky. "I think he's in my room. I left him outside my room just now…"
They made their way to Room 10.
On the way to Ky's room, Axl leaned forward and whispered in Sol's ear teasingly: "How is it down there?"
Sol frowned and pulled up Axl's collar with one hand. "You want to try it?"
"Erm, no thank you." said Axl, smiling nervously.
Johnny shifted away, trying not to be Sol's target again.
"Che." said Sol and let go of Axl.
"Wait," said Baiken to Ky. "I want to check something…"
She opened her room and looked in. "That idiot!"
"What?" asked Ky.
Baiken walked in and picked up an empty bottle. "He drank my half bottle of sake!"
"No wonder." said Johnny.
Quickly, Ky went to open his room. There was no one.
"He isn't here either…" said Ky, closing the door. "Where is he?"
He looked down and said, "Who cleaned up the floor?"
The door of Room 11 opened and Bridget looked out, saying, "You are back! That's good... by the way, Zappa cleaned up the floor."
"That's wonderful!" said Ky. "I'm going to thank him later…"
"What happened to the floor?" asked Johnny.
"Nothing, just that Anji threw up onto the floor just now," said Ky and smiled. "But it's all has been taken care of, isn't it?"
"Where's Anji?" asked Baiken.
"I think he's with Testament." said Bridget and looked at the group. "Has any of you seen Millia? She threw up in my toilet, seems pretty bad…"
"She threw up?" asked Sol. "I thought Boy Scout just said that Anji threw up?"
Bridget nodded and said, "And then she ran into my room and vomited in my toilet."
Sol was still. Then he turned and walked back to Millia's room.
"What's with her…" he muttered and opened the door again.
As Sol closed the door behind him, Johnny said, "Why can't I do that to the girls I want…"
Ky went to Room 13 and knocked. "Testament?"
The door opened and Testament looked out. "What?"
"Is Anji with you?"
"Yes."
Without another word, Baiken pushed Testament aside. "Anji Mito you idiot! Get out of here now!"
Testament pulled Baiken away quickly. He placed a finger on his lips.
"Shh…"
"Wha…"
"He's having a headache. He's now sleeping." said Testament.
Sure enough, Anji was sleeping soundly on Testament's bed.
"How did he end up in your room anyway?" asked Baiken.
"Long story." said Testament, bending down and shook Anji. "Anji? Anji, time to wake up."
Anji turned over, his eyes remained shut.
"Anji!"
Anji opened his eyes and groaned. "My head hurts…"
"You little idiot…" growled Baiken.
"When he changes back to normal, I'm going to ask him to pay for what he has done to my things." said Johnny.
"Next time," said Ky to Baiken. "Keep your alcohol out of his reach."
"He was sleeping! Anyway, it's their fault! They tempted Anji to drink!" snapped Baiken, pointing at Johnny and Axl.
"We didn't!" said Axl and Johnny.
"You did!"
"Did not!"
"Want a fight?" said Baiken.
"Bring it on!" said Axl.
"You wait, I'm getting my sword!"
"Mon dieu, stop it!" said Ky.
"You shut up! I'm not through with you yet, how could you leave Anji by himself just now?" demanded Baiken.
"I didn't mean to! Jam called me about these two idiots in the shower room!" said Ky in protest. "Anyway, Bridget was there!"
"Did you even ask Bridget to look after him?"
"Err… non."
"Baka!"
"What!" asked Ky. "If Johnny and Axl didn't go into the shower room…"
"Millia asked us to!"
"She didn't ask you to go straight into the room, did she?" asked Ky.
"Oh come on, you humans, stop it!" said Testament loudly.
"My head really hurts!" wailed Anji.
The door of Room 17 opened and Sol roared, "Shut the f- - - ing hell up, or I will use my Fireseal on all of you!"
Silence as Sol slammed the door shut.
"By the way, I found this." said Testament, taking out the test-tube. "I believe this is what Chipp uses on Anji to turn him into a boy."
Baiken took the test-tube and looked at it carefully.
"Where did you get this?"
"In Chipp's room."
"Well, it's worth a try," said Baiken, taking away the test-tube. "I will send it to Yaone for testing."
"Mummy, what's going on?" groaned Anji. "Why am I here?"
Everyone sighed.
