Ranma nodded his head. "Yeah. And why no other vegetables?"
"Cabbits". Washu said.
"Cabbit? What's a 'cabbit'?" Yugi asked.
"A cat-bunny that can turn into a spaceship." Washu answered as if there was nothing wrong with that.
Terry blinked his eyes. "Are you kidding?"
"Do I look like I kid?" Washu asked. Seeing Terry begin to open his mouth, and then Washu immediately followed up with, "Don't answer that."
"... Ah." Terry said after a few moments.
"Wow... I must say Ms. Hakubi, this place is beautiful." Makoto said. "Very peaceful in an almost rustic, yet modern sort of way. Very quiet and lots of privacy."
"And if I go out far enough, that means I can train without fear of damaging anything important." Ranma said with a bit of glee.
"That sounds pretty good." Terry said as he moved over to Ranma. "Would you like to spar some time?"
Ranma's eyes lit up upon hearing that. "YOU BET, MR. BOGARD!"
Terry chuckled. "Please, call me Terry. You make me feel like an old man, calling me 'Mer. Bogard'."
Nodding his head rapidly, Ranma answered, "Yes. Sorry, Terry-san!"
Terry sighed. Ranma seemed like a good kid, albeit slightly high-strung. Man, this kid really needed to loosen up. Maybe a good spar really would be the ticket.
Blinking his eyes in shock, Terry almost jump as he felt something grabbing and squeezing his butt. "Hey, HEY! Who's hand's are those!?"
"Mine." Brianna said. Giving Terry's butt another firm squeeze, Brianna then let up. "Thanks. They were nice and firm."
Terry's eye twitched erratically.
The tour continued without a hitch as Washu showed the group all throughout the house, taking specific time to explain the bathroom, how if a man opens the door, it's the normal bathroom, but if a woman opens the door, it's a literal bathing paradise.
Again, Yugi felt slightly miffed about the bathroom situation, but kept his mouth shut. He saw what happened to Hiei when he made a comment about how bathroom use was rather unfair.
And thus, after the tour was over and done with, everyone was gathered in the living room.
"Now, any questions?" Washu asked the group.
Brianna raised her hand. "Where is the Lab?"
Washu narrowed her eyes at Brianna. "I'm not taking you down to my lab."
"Why not!?" Brianna asked.
"Because, I have some rather delicate and fragile experiments down there and you're not exactly a dainty person yourself." Washu explained.
"Please?" Brianna asked.
"No." Washu said.
"Pretty please?"
"No."
"Pretty please with sugar on top?"
"No."
"Pretty please with sugar on top, ice cream in the middle, and gobs of sweet, creamy whipped-"
"ENOUGH!" Washu yelled. "FINE! I'LL TAKE YOU DOWNSTAIRS TO MY DAMN LAB!"
"YAY!" Brianna said as she hopped into the air, doing the 'v' sign with her hands. "Victory!"
With a rumble of his stomach, Ranma then popped the BIG question. "When do we eat?"
"Oh, that sounds good! Please show me the kitchen I can cook!" Makoto jumped up and down.
"Later, we can eat later, just settle down." Washu was trying to explain. "At the moment, we have something far more important to discuss."
"What's that, Ms. Hakubi?" Genn asked.
"Simple. Sleeping arrangements." Washu said.
"We know, two people of same sex to a room." Rika said, just wanting to get on with things. She was feeling rather hungry too and wanted to put her backpack down.
"Nope." Washu asked. "Too much chance of conflict between roommates if you choose same sex and on your own." Washu explained, shivering from memories of past fights between her tomboyish, space-pirate daughter, Ryoko and the snobby, bitchy, bratty Princess of Jurai, Ayeka. "So, with my hand-dandy 'Wheel of Morality', we shall have our answers."
"You're kidding, right?" Botan asked.
Washu shook her head, and then gave the Wheel of Morality a spin. "Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn. Tell us the placements that we should learn... To live by."
"That didn't rhyme..." Said Hiei, who was then clobbered by a convenient Tanuki statue. "Ow!"
Finally, the Wheel of Moraltiy came to a stop, and a computer print-out came out from the slow in the machine connected to the wheel. "Possible Placements and Group Take #7" Washu announced. Grabbing the list she read over it. "Ah, this is interesting."
"Well, what does the paper say?" Hiei asked, rubbing the side of his head.
"Okay, first the list says for Noboyuki's bedroom, we should have Hiei and Makoto Kino."
"I have to bunk with a man?" Makoto asked, wodering if this was a bad thing or not. "Too bad I'm not listed with Ranma..." She thought with a wistful sigh.
Hiei just rolled his eyes in disgust. All three of them. He knew not to speak out against Washu.
Washu read the next setting. "Okay, in what is usually Ayeka and Sasami's room, we shall have Yugi Moto and Rika Nonaka."
Yugi blushed at the idea he'd be sleeping and living in the same room as a nice lady. Rika just rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Okay, now for the third pairing. "In Tenchi's bedroom, we have Ranma Saotome and Kagome Higurashi."
Hearing that caused Ranma and Kagome to blush. Ranma because he'd get to be in the same room as a girl, and Kagome... Well, Ranma DID remind her like a very nice Inu-Yasha.
Makoto mentally pouted. How come Kagome got to sleep in the same room as the cutey? She knew him longer, damn it!
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" Inu-Yasha screamed. "I WILL NOT STAND TO LET THAT JERK STAY IN THE SAME ROOM AS-"
"SIT!" Kagome commanded
*THUD*!
Ranma winced. He blinked his eyes. "Hey. I didn't fall."
"Good for you..." Inu-Yasha growled.
Washu thought this interesting, as she had heard about what happened. "Hmm... Ranma take a step closer to Inu-Yasha. Then Kagome say 'sit'."
Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes. "Oh, like she's really gonna-"
"SIT!"
*THUD*!
Ranma looked down at himself. "Hey. I'm still okay."
Washu nodded her head. "Okay. Now both of you, do that again, with Ranma taking another step closer to Inu-Yasha. And keep on doing it until Ranma falls as well."
Inu-Yasha growled. "Hold it! You can't just-"
"SIT!"
*THUD*!
Inu-Yasha trembled. "Now wait a-"
"SIT!"
*THUD*!
Blinking his eyes, Inu-Yasha growled. "Hey! This is not-"
"SIT!"
*THUD*!
Inu-Yasha groaned in pain. "Can we stop yet? Please?"
"SIT!"
*THUD*! *THUD*!
Washu looked at the two guys laying on the ground. Taking out a ruler, Washu began measuring the distance. "All right. For Kagome's command to have an effect on Ranma, Ranma has to be within three feet of distance to Inu-Yasha.
"Thanks for the warning." Ranma said as he stood up. He felt a lot more relieved, knowing that he could escape the fate of the 'Sit' command.
"... Swell..." Inu-Yasha just groaned.
"Now to get back on track..." Washu said as she looked at the paper. A smile crossed ehr lips. "Well, well... In the basement, we'll have Terry Bogard and Brianna Diggers."
"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?" Terry screamed. "That has got to be some mis... Brianna, take your hand off my butt..."
"But why?" Brianna aske,d giving Terry's but another firm squeeze. "We should get to know one another as we'll be 'sleeping' together." Brianna smiled at the double meaning.
Terry shivered. "Look, I've had two girlfrieds. They all died horrible deaths."
"Doesn't mean I will." Brianna said, squeezing Terry's butt.
Terry sweat-dropped. "Er... My current girlfriend will be angry with me!"
"So? She's not here." Bri said, as she continued to fondle Terry.
Terry was really perspiring now in embarassment. "She's a cop, all right? She' skilled enough to kick my ass, and have me taken down ala Rodney King on the streets of South Town!"
"And that means you'd have to move back to Atlanta with me!" Brianna giggled as she hugged Terry tightly to her. "Oh we're gonna have LOTS of fun!"
Terry whimpered.
Washu shook her head, feeling pity for the Former King of Fighter. "All right, on the rafters, we have Inu-Yasha and Renamon."
"... Rafters?" Both In-Yasha and Renamon asked. Seeing Washu point up, both looked up... At the rafters.
Inu-Yasha's eye twitched. "You want me to sleep in the ceiling!?"
Washu shrugged her shoulders. "My daughter does it all the time."
Inu-Yasha growled. "There has GOT to be something better!"
Washu thought for a moment. "Well, you could sleep outside, in the shrine up in the hills over that way." She offered.
Inu-Yasha thought. While it would probably be more comfortable to sleep in the shrine, he didn't want to leave Kagome alone with that freaky guy that sounded like him and was supposed to be his reincarnation. Growling he said, "Fine, I'll sleep in the rafters..."
Renamon just nodded her head. She needed to stay close to Rika.
"And finally," Washu said, "In the attic, we'll have Botan and Genn."
Botan and Genn looked at each other and shrugged. "Pleased to meet you, Genn." Botan said with a smile.
Genn smiled back and shook Botan's hand. "Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
"Now, any other questions?" Washu asked. Seeing Terry raise his hand, she said, "Yes Mr. Bogard?"
"Ms Hakubi?" Terry began. "Can I sleep out in the shrine?" His eyes widened as Brianna tightened her grip. "PLEASE!?"
Washu thought about it for a moment, then shook her head. "Nope."
"DAMN IT!" Terry cursed.
" Why thank you!"
"Oh, how clever of you Saotome! That way, with two Saotomes marrying two Tendos, the schools are thoroughly secure! IT'S SOUN..."
"...AND GENMA'S..."
"OPERATION: CATS AND DOGS!"
