Kiyone blinked once then again, “Five thousand you say?”
“Yes dear you heard me.” The voice on the other line calmly continued, “and she offered another two hundred fifty just for the omiai.”
The towel clad galaxy police officer grumbled a bit. Sure she didn't like the thought of being whored out but that was more than a ninety year pension plan paid out. An irritated voice replied, “Fine. I expect the 250 to be in my account no matter what happens.”
Kiyone slammed the receiver down as she glared at Washu, “You... could you at least look annoyed.”
“You're going to have to break a lot more than a phone to get me annoyed, you do know who your roommate and who my house mates are?” Kiyone fumed a bit but she really didn't have anything against the red head. The scientist shrugged as she moved from her work bench, “When was the last time you went on a date?”
An angry scowl came from the police officer but Washu continued, “Let me put it this way a succubus queen is asking you out because you are a virgin. Your career with GP is at a dead end. Breaking that phone is the most interesting thing you've done in months. Well aside from laying out Ryoko and Ayeka in your escape this morning.”
The rant continued for a few moments. Till Kiyone looked like she was about to get her pistol and start shooting, “And your point is!?!”
Washu cheerfully chirped, “You need to get out more.”
“And engaging me to a succubus is your idea of getting out? You're insane. ” Kiyone's hysterics continued until she was screaming at the diminutive goddess, “This entire household, this planet, my partner! You're all nu...”
A gentle pinch to the neck knocked the ranting Galaxy Police Officer out. Sasami gently lowered the much larger woman to the ground, “You are definitely Ryoko's progenitor.”
Kiyone awoke in a room with a cool breeze wafting through it. The air smelled vaguely of rosemary and salt water. As she sat up she looked around the ocean front villa, “Wha...”
“Oh good you're awake.” A cheerful voice came into the room carrying a tray of something and a large clear pitcher of water.
Sasami smiled at the woman, “While water does have a technical definition we can get a bit creative with the bread.”
Kiyone looked at the cornucopia of bread in front of her and smiled. Then she frowned, “I am very well schooled in the good cop bad cop routine or in your case annoying goddess, infuriating goddess maneuver.”
'Sasami' pouted as her form shifted a bit, “Washu does have a point even if she was a bit crass about it.”
The galaxy police officer threw a muffin at the goddess, “Arrrg... Fine, I'll play along. Few days meditating, maybe a week or two vacation for the honeymoon. Taking a first spouse at my age is perfectly normal. Let me write up a list of things you need to do while I'm gone.”
The aggravated detective munched on one of the loaves of bread. As she tried to stare down the supremely serene goddess. Tsunami just nodded with every point Kiyone made. Tiny gears started to turn in her head as she decided it was time to get even not mad.
A pair of voices from the other room groaned, “Oh my head...”
Kiyone considered her next move should be then gave Tsunami a smile, “Handmaidens attend me.”
Ryoko stumbled into the room first her normally chaotic hair even more absurd. She was followed by an equally disheveled Ayeka. The space pirate all but growled at the galaxy police officer, “Wha'da want?”
In a calm and polite tone Kiyone spoke, “I will need my swords and pistol from my room.”
“I ain't letting ya shoot or stab us. Not happening.” Ryoko bluntly replied.
The calm diplomatic tone continued, “I am of the warrior cast, to show up to a formal introduction unarmed or with unserviced weapons would be embarrassing.”
Ryoko looked at Tsuami who just nodded. Ryoko vanished going in search of said items aboard the sunken Yagami. Kiyone's attentions turned to the crowned princess, “Ayeka you will have to see to my grooming. My hair is far to long for such an occasion and you will definitely need to shave and wax my legs.”
All color drained from Ayeka's face and her mouth opened slightly a bit. She looked at the normally rational member of their group and wondered if they had perhaps pushed a bit too far. Noting the expression on her goddess' face Ayeka simply shut her mouth and walked out the door.
Tsuami sipped on her water as she took another bite out of the loaf of carrot bread, “Next your going to ask Tenchi too...” Tsuami shut her mouth before she could complete the sentence.
“Yes, he would make a very dashing man-at-arms. Would you see to the details.” Tsuami just rubbed her forehead as she became Sasami once again. Quietly wondering why all of Washu's experiments to creat a more powerful being always involved so much mayhem.
Kiyone cheerfully supplied as Sasami left the room, “Don't forget the paper I need to make that list for you. Be sure to send Mihoshi by I'll have to have her arrange a leave of absence for me.”
