Here's another one. Enjoy.
As he started to wake, he could hear snickering. Shin sighed; he was eager to sleep in.
"Oh Fish-boy, wake up. Touma beat you to breakfast."
"Shin, I didn't know you snored."
"Come on, we have things to do today."
Shin rolled to his stomach and covered his head with his pillow. The trio looked at each other, before going through with their plan. Shin soon found himself soaked with cold water.
"Guys, that was cold!"
"So is your breakfast." Shu shot back, "It was hard to leave it alone for you."
Shin got up, grabbing a towel and a change of clothes. He asked where they were going.
"Mama Rei Fuan's. She's been asking about you." Shu replied.
"That's a long drive guys."
"And it'll be longer if you don't hurry." Touma added.
After being clothed and fed, Shin met the other three at Touma's car. It was a two door Honda. Ryo and Shin were stuck in the back. Touma said something about trying to get to Yokohama in six hours instead of twelve. Shu agreed.
"Let's get going! Drive Tenku!" he yelled, hitting the outside of his door with his hand.
Two hours into the drive, Ryo started talking about switching seats with someone. He and Shin were cramped from the small space.
"Hey, if you can make me shorter and Shu less fat, we'll trade. Until then, quiet!" Touma argued back.
"I have no leg room." Shin stated, "Scoot your seat up Shu."
"Negative, Fish-boy. I can't move the seat anymore."
By the fourth hour, they pulled over for gas. The warriors of fire and water crawled out of the back, trying to ease their cramps as they went. Touma and Shu had already gone to get snacks.
"Ryo, your hair is sticking up in all directions." Shin laughed.
"Ugh, the entire time my head has been rubbing against the ceiling of the damn car. Shu's got to sit in back. I can't sit like that anymore." He answered, trying to fix his hair.
Ryo soon cleared his throat, "Do you still have it?"
"Have what? Suiko?" Shin raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I mean, you went and did you own thing without actually saying what you were doing with your armor."
Sighing, Shin answered, "I still have it. I just hope that I don't have to use it."
"When's the last time you talked to Seiji?"
"Last time we were all together. I'd rather not talk about him."
Shu and Touma soon came by.
"Dude, Shin you okay?" Shu asked.
"Yeah. Let's get going."
After a quick game of words, Ryo finally got his place in the front. Shu make sure to sit behind him, and remind him of the pain of being a big guy in a small car.
"Touma, are you going to get a new car soon?" Shu asked, frustrated.
"As soon as pottery becomes the next big thing."
"My mom works hard making pottery." Shin defensively argued.
"I know, but I make enough yen to put gas in this thing."
Shu growled, "We should have just taken the train."
Ryo threw his hands in the air.
"I said that before you decided to try and make the drive in six hours." he argued.
"Okay, so I didn't think we'd be cramped in Touma's car."
"You choose this thing over a train?" Shin's raised an eyebrow.
"Dude, where were you five seconds ago?"
"Let's play the quiet game. Doesn't that sound nice?" Touma interrupted.
Five minutes went by before Shu talked again.
"Anyone watch 'Sailor Moon' this week?"
"Shh. Quiet game Shu. You're losing." Touma mumbled out.
"Touma, take the next exit." Ryo said, looking at the map, "Isn't that the show where the girl pretty much cries throughout the show?"
"I want to know why Shu watches a show like that."Shin smiled.
"What? I don't actually watch it. My sisters do."
"Hold on guys, I'm driving like a crazy person." Touma warned them.
The car went across several lanes to the exit. Everyone was holding on to something. After straightening the car, Touma glanced at his friends. He was getting glares from all three of them.
"Eh, sorry."
It was later in the afternoon when they reached their destination. Shu went on about getting home in half the time it took to drive there. He also was the first one to enter the restaurant. His sister Rinfi greeted them at the door.
"Hey sis, how's things?"
"Busy, but since you seem to want to take more road trips than work here, I guess everything's fine."
"Cool, I brought the gang in."
"Shin too?" she smiled.
"Yeah."
She watched the warrior of water walk in.
"Hi Shin." She waved.
"Oh, hey Rinfi. How are you?"
"Better now that you're here." She continued to smile.
"I know. Keep him from making fun of you." He laughed back.
Touma laughed from the small talk, "Someone has a crush."
"You're too young to think about boys." Ryo added.
"I'm not. I'm sixteen."
"Keep telling yourself that." Touma waved her off.
The four warriors soon entered the Rei Faun's above apartment. Shu called out that he was home, and Mama Rei Fuan soon came.
"Shin, you're back." She screeched, "And you are too skinny. You all are too skinny. We'll cook a big dinner. Shu come help me."
"Yes mama."
While dinner was being cooked the rest sat down.
"So, we're visiting Nasuti next?" Shin asked.
"Don't you know?" Touma asked.
"No."
"Nasuti and Seiji are getting married soon." Ryo continued.
"What?"
"Dude, you missed everything."
"Wait, Touma's helping my family, Seiji and Nasuti are getting married, and Shu still works here; what are you doing now, Ryo?" Shin was rubbing his temples.
"School and other random things that keep me busy."
"I need to write home more." Shin laid his head in his arms.
"Yeah you do." Shu could be heard from the kitchen.
"Nah, we understand that you're busy. Besides, your mother spoils me like a second son. I should be thanking you for moving out." Touma softly slapped Shin's shoulder.
Shu came walking out with a full plate and mouth, "Food's ready."
"Did you take it all?" Touma asked quickly getting up.
Shin and Ryo thanked Mama Rei Fuan for the food after receiving their plates.
"So what's the plan tonight?" Shu asked.
"Movie?"
"Club."
"Sleep…"
"Touma, you're a party pooper." Shu declared.
"I drove a car for six hours."
"Shu, it is card night. I need you to watch your siblings." his mother called from the kitchen.
"Dammit. I hate card night." He said, heading towards his siblings' rooms.
"That leaves you and me, Shin." Ryo sighed.
"Movie it is." Shin said grabbing his and Ryo's plate.
"Lethal Weapon 3?"
"Sure." Shin said, checking his pockets for money, "Touma, we're borrowing your car."
"Don't break it!"
"We're just going to drive it though a few ditches and drift around." Ryo teased.
"If you were Shu or Seiji, I'd believe you." Touma replied, "Okay, I'm coming now."
As they were coming near the theater, people were swarming in the streets and sidewalks. They went down a few more streets to look for parking. Touma picked a spot after someone moved out. As Shin was getting out from the back several men showed up.
"Hey man, you can't park there." One with a neck tattoo spoke.
Not taking the guy seriously, Touma laughed, "You going to take it?"
"No, but my friends will."
Shin counted ten altogether, "Hey Touma, we can find another spot. It's not a problem."
He started to get back into the car when one of the men grabbed him. Shin was thrown into one of the gang members.
"We change our mind. We want it." The man said, pulling a knife out.
The leader then charged Touma. Ryo stepped up to hit the guy in the face then stripped the knife from him. Touma kicked another knife wielding man, grabbed him and slammed him at another.
"You picked the wrong guys to rob tonight." He commented before dodging a punch from another.
Shin hit the guy he was thrown into, in the stomach before one of the smaller gang member jumped on his back to choke him. He was trying to pull the guy's arms from his neck as another came at him. Shin dropped to him back, crushing the one on his back before bringing his leg up to stop the other one.
The five left standing ran towards an alley. Sounds of cars could be heard starting, and quickly pulling out towards the warriors.
"Uh, let me drive." Shin said.
Touma tossed him the keys and got into the back of his car. Shin pulled out of the parking spot, and ran though a red light. One of the cars hit another car.
"Shin, you still have one behind you." Touma called out.
"So much for movie night. We're living it." Ryo added.
Shin pulled the emergency brake, causing the car to drift into another street. He straightened it, before doing it again to get onto another street. Touma was being tossed around in the back.
"Shin, go though the golf course!" Ryo called out.
"No!" Touma tried to call out before the glass in the back broke, "They're shooting at us."
The car jumped over a green then again over a patch of dirt. Shin then somehow managed to get the car though a line of trees to another green. They soon came out by a hospital. The other car was stuck in the woods.
Ryo leaned out the window, "Told you guys you weren't getting the car!"
Shin pulled the car around to head back into Yokohama. Touma leaned out the back to see what damage was done to the car.
"Aww, they shot her up." He complained, "How am I supposed to explain this?"
"Just say you ran into the Inagawa-kai." Shin responded.
"Yakuza? That's what those guys were?" Ryo and Touma were shocked.
"They were sloppy members." Shin explained, "We have to learn about their habits in the Maritime Agency. Sorry Touma, you probably don't want to bring the car back to Yamaguchi."
As they pulled up to the Rei Fuan restaurant, Shin handed Touma the keys.
"Sorry about the car again."
"There are sticks and dirt coming out the front." Touma cried.
The trio stopped by Shu's room before heading to bed.
"You guys look like you all just got into a fist fight without me." He smiled.
"Fist fight with a bunch of gang bangers." Ryo added.
"Shin wrecked my car. Worst brother ever."
Shin laughed, "I can help you with getting another one."
"You guys get to have all the fun." He said looking out the window at the nearly broken car.
They decided that sleep was the best idea ever.
