Ryūko stood in her room in complete shock. She was still trying to process what had just happened. It took her completely by surprise. Time stood still as she tried to rap her mind around what Nui just did. After a little while Ryūko finished thinking. This gave her a small moment of clarity be for she started freaking out. Her mind was filled with a mish mash of conflicting thoughts. She couldn't keep track of how many times she changed her mind of how she should react to this.
Then one question got through the overflowing stream of ideas. "Where is she going," She said to herself aloud. Thoughts of the worst possible outcome caused her to rush out the room. She ran out of her room so fast it cause the partially opened door to slam out word on its hinges. She ran through the hall then down the stairs to the kitchen.
When she got down there she was suppressed to see that Nui was enjoying breakfast with the Mankanshoku's. Everyone was eating at the table like normal except Mako, who was nowhere to be seen. No one was bothered by the fact that Nui was devouring her breakfast just like everyone else. "What am I looking at here?" Ryūko asked.
"Ryūko Why didn't you introduce us to your new friend?" Sukuyo asked
"We're not friends at all," Ryūko added angrily.
"That's right mom She's Ryūko's girlfriend," Matarō joked
This caused Ryūko to blow a gasket. She charged over to Nui right after hearing this. She ripped Nui's chair away from the table. This caused everyone to panic. Nui was spun out of her chair. Ryūko towered over Nui and tried to intimidate her. This back fired because Nui had a gigantic smile stuck to her face.
"What did you tell them?" Ryūko asked furiously.
"Don't worry, I haven't slandered your name," Nui assured her. "I've told them only the truth."
"She told us all about how you two kissed," Matarō teasing added.
"She didn't spare any details," Sukuyo continued.
"That doesn't count I was being mind controlled," Ryūko stated as her face started to turn red.
"Don't be silly Ryūko," Nui said. "Junkestu's memory stitching isn't mind control."
"Whatever!" Ryūko exclaimed. "I was still under your control."
"Whatever you say darling," Nui said happily.
"And don't call me darling!" Ryūko Shouted as her face grew even more red.
"What about this kiss you two shared this morning?" Sukuyo asked.
"That doesn't count either!" Ryūko exclaimed.
"Why not?" Nui asked.
"Because you just ran up and kissed me out of nowhere," Ryūko continued.
"Ryūko dear you're not a very good liar," Nui said.
"I'm not lying!" Ryūko yelled her face now bright crimson
"Look she's blushing," Matarō said before he burst into laughter.
"Ah, young love," Sukuyo cooed.
"Reminds me of us when we were younger," Barazō said
"It sure does," Sukuyo responded
"I've got to go now or I'll be late for work," Barazō said as he finished his breakfast.
"Okay, don't work to hard honey," Sukuyo said as she waved good bye to her husband.
"Don't worry I won't," Barazō said before leaving the house. After he left everything continued as one would expect. After a little while Mako Came into the kitchen from the closet. "Mako where have you been?" Sukuyo asked.
"I was in the closet," Mako stated.
"Well guts ate all your food while you were in there," Sukuyo said.
"Ah man," Mako said in a very distressed voice.
"So Mako," Nui said. "About that surprise."
"Don't worry I've got everything set up," Mako said sounding very proud of herself.
"Great!" Nui said rather excited. "At least your good for something."
"Oh my gosh!" Mako yelled. "I totally forgot." "Sorry guys I got to go," Mako said as she scrambled out the house.
"Well I got to get the scoop on this," Matarō said as he followed his out the door.
"I guess I'll leave you two love birds alone," Sukuyo said as she left the room.
"I already told you guys we're not a couple," Ryūko shouted but Sukuyo had already left.
"Now it's just the two of us," Nui said suggestively.
"I don't like what your implying." Ryūko said.
"I just want you to take me on a date is all," Nui clarified.
"How about no," Ryūko stated.
"If you don't I might just lash out against all my new friends," Nui added.
"You wouldn't dare," Ryūko said.
"Oh but I would," Nui responded.
"Then I'll stop you with force," Ryūko said.
"How?" Nui asked. "Senketsu isn't around anymore, and the rending scissor are in Davey Jones's locker."
"Fine I'll go on your stupid date," Ryūko said admitting defeat.
"Yay!" Nui cheered.
