Back in Tokyo…
I can hardly believe it. We have been gone for like three months, and now we're back. So many things have happened…
I met Anna and the others, Azami and Akira met the others, I have been in USA, I bought a huge postcard and posted it, I met the X-Meanies, I met Mr Starpants and who kissed me… without me wanting to! That's the only thing I can think of at the moment and that really sucks… and Lyserg have disappeared.
I wonder where he went…
"Tsuki! I look at this!" I walked over to Azami and looked at a big list on the wall.
Since we are in teams there were a lot of team names on the list.
"Team Funbari Hot Springs is Yoh's team, Anna thought it would be good advertising." Manta said. I nodded and continued to look at the list.
"'Ren'? Oh I wonder whose team that is. Notice the sarcasm!" both Azami and Manta laughed at the stupid face I made.
"Wait, we haven't chosen a name yet?"
"Wrong!" Akira said from behind me, "Our team is right there."
I looked at the list again where he pointed and saw the name "'In Your Face!'? What kind of name is that?"
"Well, that's what I'm going to say in lots of the fight so why not?"
" Azami… did you name the team by yourself?"
"Well of course! You two would just take something boring!"
I was gonna say something more but Akira stopped me, "Just give up."
I sighed and did as I was told, she would win anyway. Besides, the name was already on the list, nothing to do.
Anyway, it was time for team Ren's match so I should go and watch together with the others.
In the match, Ren and Horohoro had decided to watch as Chocolove did the fighting.
Their opponent team was three of Hao's minions, that's all I know.
The fight had just begun but I didn't have that much time to watch it. Akira shoved his cell phone in my face and I saw who was calling…
"Matsumoto Masahiro?" God dammit! Couldn't they wait one hour or something?
"You should answer."
"Yeah I know. Tell me what I missed later." I stood up and took the phone.
I heard Ryu ask where I was going but Akira answered for me.
I walked a bit from the fight and then answered the phone.
"Hello, it's Tsukiko."
"Matsumoto Tsukiko! Where have you been? We haven't received a single call from you, not even a postcard! I have tried calling Akira multiple times because you didn't bring your phone but no one answered! We have been worried sick about you, young lady! This is why we never let you go so far from home!"
I am not surprised that Akira ignored the calls or whatever he did.
"I'm sorry! I sent you a postcard actually! A huge one! But I don't know when it will be delivered…"
"No excuses! You have been gone for three months! We never gave you permission to be gone for so long! Two weeks Tsukiko! Not three months!"
"Listen, I'm sorry, okay? But when the postcard arrives you will be able to read as much as you want about what I've been doing!"
"That's not the point. And we have been trying to call and text you for three long months!" so I've heard…"What do you have to say about that?"
"I'm sorry! Akira lost his phone almost as soon as we got here and since mine was at home it's not like I could use mine! And before you ask, I just met my other friends! Most of them didn't bring their phones either and those who did, I didn't want to ask them since it's so expensive!"
This is just great… I heard how mom said that she wanted to talk and then she took the phone.
"I guess that there's no point in punishing you over the phone. When are you coming home?"
"I- I don't know…It will be a while…"
"For the love of… Matsumoto Sayu Tsukiko, you have been gone for three months, that's not okay! I don't like when you are gone for a week! I want you to come home right now!"
"But mom… The thing is… I.." Shit what now? Gotta think fast! She have to let me stay… think, think, think!
Sakuya appeared before me to watch the show. She never approved of me lying and, probably as payback for when I lied about the 'vacation' I guess she wanted to see how I was going to get out of this on. That and I could also tell that she showed sympathy for my situation.
"What?"
You know what? Every time I lie something bad happens, most of the time at least, so I will be truthful! "I have lost my first kiss!"
"Excuse me?"
Sakuya smacked her forehead with her left hand, I did my best to ignore it.
"Y- yeah! That's how it is! A-and I don't want to leave because of the… feeling.. I have.. For that guy…"
I gotta wash my mouth with soap later…
There was a silence in the phone, "Hello?"
"I can't believe my baby lost her first baby kiss!" happy face much?
Sakuya just continued to nod her head, and I don't blame her. I mean, listen to what I'm telling my mom!
In the background I heard my dad yell "Who lost her what?"
Well at least I will have mom on my side…
I heard how he grabbed the phone from my giggling mom and yelled in my ear "Who is the boy? I will make him cry! Is it Akira? I have never cared for that boy!"
…. And to think that he always tells me that Akira is a nice young man…. Seriously, they could even be best friends!
"Who is it, honey?" Mom yelled happily who probably tried to share the phone with the angry husband.
Ugh… I guess this will be half lie and half truth… as long as I don't reveal too much it should be okay. And tiny white lies are okay, I think so at least.
"Um… it's a guy… who I met when I got here. I met lots of people by the way! I tell all about them in the post card! There's Horohoro, Anna, Manta, Ren, Ryu, Yoh and Faust-"
"But who is it? Is it Horohoro? He is the one you said first! And I think I heard some feelings behind it!" they both yelled at the same time… god do I have to say his name? I could lie…. No, I'm lying to much nowadays… Sad face…
"No, not Horohoro. His name is… Hao."
"Hao?" there was a silence… maybe dad got super angry? "Sounds like a nice boy! Now tell me everything! How did you meet? How old is he? What does he look like?" mom asked happily. If she only knew… I could hear my angry daddy in the background mumbling something.
Over protective dad for the lose.
"Um… I actually gotta go… I'm meeting my other friends and maybe him too…"
"Oh oh I see! Don't let us bother! Just give us a text message or something every now and then! Bye!"
I was about to say bye until dad snatched the phone once again and yelled, "Be careful with the boy! Did you bring your pepparspray?"
"Um… no. But I'm sure I can buy it somewhere.. believe me, there's lots of stores here. "
I looked around and there was indeed lot of stores.
"Good. Make sure to find it."
"I will."
"… Right away Tsukiko."
"I will buy it dad! Oh, I think I see a store now! Byebye!"
"Okay, bye honey! Remember to always carry it with y—"
Yeeeah… I just hung up there.
Unlike Sakuya, who tried very hard not to laugh out loud, I never felt worse since I got here.
I cannot believe that they think that I like Hao! Seriously… ugh.. Well at least I didn't lie.
I frickin hate lying! Even though I'm doing it a lot lately because of the whole shaman thing…
And most of the time it's pretty small ones.
Oh right! Ren, Chocolove and Horohoro's fight!
I ran back to check on the fight and heard Chocolove yell "Oversoul! Ayers Rock!"
I looked down at him, excited to see what his oversoul looked like but saw him standing on his hands with the stomach up, showing his navel and on it where a small kangaroo.
What type of oversouls is that?
"This Ayers Rock is supposed to be the ultimate joke…?" The judge said in his mike. A Joke? Really?
There was a complete silence in the audience…. How is he able to continue those jokes?
I heard the opponent laugh out loud, but not because of the 'joke', "Didn't I tell you? Your jokes are so boring! It fits you to be beaten by such a worthless enemy! Go Boz!"
Worthless enemy? Wait… where is his team mates?
"Hey, Akira. What's going on?" I handed over the phone and waited for him to answer.
"That guy turned his comrades into some kind of puppets or something. He uses them to attack and Chocolove doesn't want to attack them since they will die if he does." He said hastily to make sure that he didn't miss anything.
"What?" That's horrible!
I heard Chocolove say, "I finally got you to laugh." Hao's minion said something but it was to quiet for me to hear and then I saw how his 'team-mates' started to laugh loudly.
"I don't get it! How could they laugh at something that simple? It's sick… I'm controlling them with my spirit power, how can they be laughing!"
"It got blown away." Blown away? "The winds of laughter blows away the misunderstands of evil. Somebody like you who doesn't think of others, can't possibly make others move!" he then fell to the ground, probably fainted.
Ren then attacked, "You should know that this had nothing to do with your dolls. That's not the reason I'm gonna kick your ass," Bason then appeared and sent Hao's minion flying, "it's because you looked down on my team-mate Chocolove."
Holy crap… I wonder if that guy even survived… he probably did.
"The Moon-group is out of furyoku. The winner is Team Ren!"
"Woho! We won! Awesome!"
"You haven't done anything this match."
Hehe Ren sure loves to destroy Horohoro's reason to be happy! Kind of fun to watch.
Ren pointed at Yoh and said, "I will defeat you, Yoh. Team Ren will be the winners!"
I looked over to a huge dude with a really cool mustache and lots of people around him who said, "Good speech, Ren!"
All the people around him held black flags with the text 'Glory to master Ren' and white flags with the text ' Glory to Bason'.
"Hey Ren, it seems your whole family is here…" Horohoro said looking surprised.
Ren didn't even bother to turn around but you could really see how annoyed and embarrassed he was… let's call this karma.
"His family? Incredible! Here's Ren's family, come to support him! His father his huge! How many seats does he take up?"
"Ren! Courage! Your sister is here!" Ren has a sister? Aw he's blushing!
I heard the judge yell that she was a really cute chick.
Awkward much?
I also heard Anna tell Yoh that he should respond to Ren's comment. But he didn't.
Well, now I know what Ren's family looks like! I felt myself smile.
#############################
We were now sitting in a nice little resting room. I also met a new person, Tamao. She kind of remind me of myself when I was 8 or something, what can I say? Things change.
"Ha ha! I almost thought you guys would lose! And in the end you all looked kind of stupid!" I heard Azami yell.
"Hey what do you mean by that?" Horohoro answered.
"I mean that Chocolove did almost everything, and fainted. Ren did everything after that, and everyone got to see his supportive family, which he finds embarrassing. And you didn't do a shit!"Azami laughed loudly, probably to piss Horohoro off, it worked.
"What? It's just because I'm strongest that I didn't have to do anything!"
" Ha ha you just wait! Team In Your Face will in your face you!"
" And Chocolove, your joke wasn't even funny!" Akira laughed.
"Whose joke wasn't funny Ryu?"
"It wasn't funny at all." Anna continued followed by Akira, "How was it funny, Chocolove?"
"I'll tell you! This kangaroo…"
"From the beginning you had no humor." Anna said.
Ren gave an 'hmph' "There wasn't even a need to fight…"
"Your whole family is here rooting for you and you are acting cool."
"Watch what you're saying, Horohoro!"
" Calm down. Being angry at small things will keep you from winning." Yoh smiled, he is really good at being calm.
"That's because you don't care about anything!" Everyone except me, Anna, Tamao, Faust and Manta yelled.
I couldn't help but laugh. I really like it here, in my class everyone got mad for fewer things than this. I've never had this many friends in one place before… at least I don't think I have.
"Ah, so you are all here…" We all looked to the door where those two 'Boz' things were standing. "Yo!"
"Boz! What are you doing here?" Ryu asked, pointing at them.
"We're here to thank you." The black haired one said.
"Besides, we have given up the name 'Boz' and are no longer followers of master Hao." The blonde one continued.
If they aren't his followers anymore, why call him 'master'…? "Why?" I asked curiously.
"Because we never cared about others in the beginning." They then told us their story.
Apperantly they were originally apprentice monks. They always secretly practiced playing music since they wanted to become the world's number one band. Then Hao appeared and they joined him.
But now they realized that letting someone else take care of their dream was a mistake.
"We are happy that we're still alive."
"That's why we're here to thank you for giving us a chance to start over."
"We are grateful Mr. Chocolove." They said.
Chocolove gave them a smile and answered, " I'm just doing what I feel is right."
"We should be leaving now." They turned around to go through the door but Yoh stopped them by saying, "Wait Boz. Since you are not going to be the Boz anymore, what should we call you?"
"Yeah that's right. What are you gonna do now?" Horohoro asked.
The 'Boz' smiled at each other then took of their sunglasses, " We are gonna start over again."
"That's why popular names like Boz won't be needed anymore. Call us Bonz!" they then left.
Wow what a difference…
"What's wrong with those guys…" Akira asked tired.
"But they were Hao's victims." Ren said.
"Another story about Hao showing up as a kid… what's up with the guy?" Horohoro asked.
There was a silence for a few seconds until Ryu commented happily, "So what? Like the chief always says, there's no point in worrying about it. Let's go check out the next match. The oracle bell says…"
He looked down on his oracle bell and suddenly his weird Elvis haircut just fell.
"It can't be… Say it isn't so!" he said shocked. What's wrong with Ryu?
I looked down at my oracle bell and saw the name ´X-I' Three of the X-Laws… I wonder how they will fight in the tournament…
