"E, EMPORER!?" Genma asked in shock.
The Emporer of Japan nodded his head. "Genma Saotome. After learning all about your scandals, I and all of Japan is VERY ashamed of you. Therefore, for a punishment, you shall be held up on a cross for 2 weeks, and be open to the public so that they may take strikes at you."
"B, but that's inhumane!" Genma cried out.
The Emporer of Japan looked cross at Genma. "So? Would you rather be tortured for two weeks, or made to commit Seppuku with the help of your wife?"
Turning his head, Genma saw his wife standing to the side, holding her unsheathed katana. Genma swore under his breath. How could he have deserved this!?
As if to answer him, a lightning bolt struck Genma, as if it were divine rite. But it was merely from a certain electric-user in the crowd.
"That was so cool Benimaru-sempai!" one young and impressionable girl said.
Combing a hand through his tall hair, Benimaru said, "I know, I know... You know, it's not everyday that there's a public punishment. I can't wait to see what else is done."
What followed was pretty much a telivised beating of Genma Saotome.
(------)
Back at the Tendo Dojo, Soun wept audibly as he watched television. Genma was being given harsh justice, and now his best hope of uniting the schools was practically GONE! "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THE SCHOOLS WILL NEVER BE JOINED AT THIS RATE! WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Soun continued to cry in waterfalls.
Nabiki turned from her younger sister Akane, whom was still unconscious and glared at her father. "Daddy this is all your fault you know, so don't even complain! Because of you and that fat oaf, Akane is wounded."
Kasumi nodded her head as she replaced the washcloth on Akane's forehead. "Yes father. I must agree. Genma is a rather evil person."
Soun cried some more, now about how his daughters were against him, even sweet Kasumi.
Nabiki shook her head. She had lost all respect for her father. She turned her head to look at the bandana-clad boy who had saved her sister and brought her back to them. "I want to thank you again for saving my little sister Akane. How did you know to take her back here?"
Shaking his head, Ryoga answered, "I didn't. I was trying to take her to a hospital when I just somehow wound up in your dojo. I'm just glad someone came in there and helped her."
Nabiki rolled her eyes. Either this guy was telling the truth, and he was an idiot, or he was just really modest. Nabiki thought it to be the former.
"Excuse me..." A new voice called out. "Is this the Tendo residence?"
Soun, Nabiki, Kasumi, and Ryoga turned to the new voice, and saw a shriveled old man. Soun broke out into anopther crying fit as he bowed at the feet of the older man. "MASTER! THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE ALIVE! I WAS SO AFRAID GENMA AND I LOST YOU!!!"
Happosai smiled. "No problem. I decided to stop by when I saw the news and saw Genma practically being sacrificed,a nd wondered if you were to join his fate. Oh, and next time you try to get rid of me, use more dynamite."
Blinking their eyes, Nabiki, Kasumi, and Ryoga asked, "Dynamite?"
"MR. HOWARD, WATCH OUT FOR THE STAIRWELL!" *THWAP* *WHUD* *SNAP* *CRACK*
"... Well, shouldn't take too long for him to reach the bottom. This IS only the eighth floor..."
"Thank's Dolores."
"Grr... May Lee! MY NAME IS MAY LEE!!!"
