This one's pretty weird, even by my standards... Whoo! I updated!. xP
"It's been a long time since I've worn this," Jigen said, playing with his hat. "Good thing it stretches."
Lupin grinned ear to ear and let out a monkey like holler of laughter, his hairy ape like hands grasping his sides. Get it? Because he looks like a damn monkey?
"You're a plumber! A plumber! I always thought you were an assassin or something cool like that, but you were a plumber!"
"Ooooor," Jigen drawled out in annoyance, "It's a disguise to make my enemies underestimate me and my power."
The smile was wiped off Lupin's face. He stared blankly, pausing a moment. "It's not a disguise, is it?"
Jigen slouched. "No."
"Lupin."
Lupin turned to Goemon in shock to hear him actually speak. He'd always wondered what his voice would sound like; when he actually noticed his presence. That wasn't very often, though.
"We've talked to eachother plenty of times," he stated.
Lupin eyed him suspiciously. Was he a spy? Normal people couldn't read minds.
"No, you're an idiot and don't know how to keep your mouth shut," Jigen pointed out.
Lupin shrugged. "Anyway, what were you saying, Goekawa-kun?"
Goemon narrowed his eyes angrily. "If you ever call me that again, I'll slice you in half, slice your halves in half, mash them up, create a clone with my majikaru sugoi kakoii suupaa kawaii neko maid chibi powers, tie up your clone, and spoon feed to it what was you. Now as I was saying, maybe we should get outfits similar to Jigen and Luigi's. That way it'll be a dead giveaway we're together and if we must split up we'll easily be found. We could be like the power rangers. Desu nyo."
Lupin blinked. Then he stared. Then he blinked again. "On second thought, shut up."
"I like the power rangers," he mumbled to himself dejectedly.
Ensue serious moment!
"Jigen," Lupin started lowly, a cigarette hanging in his mouth. Everyone becomes a chain smoker when they're being serious. "What about Fujiko?"
Jigen crossed his arms, looking awfully ridiculous and completely not intimidating in his red plumber's outfit, a cigarette in his mouth as well. "What about Fujiko?" he spat angrily.
Lupin kept his eye on the angry man with the scruffy beard carefully. "Are you going to complain if she comes with us?"
Jigen threw Lupin against the wall, his hands fisting around the collar of his jacket. "Look Lupin, this has gotten really fucking personal and I do not want that bitch involved. I didn't want you involved in the first place, but it's too late for that. At least I know you won't run to that- that- fucking... squirtle thing in your skimpy clothes and, I don't know, seduce him. The thought alone makes me really sick to my stomach. Hell if I'm having that happen."
By the end of his speech, his anger had worn off. Now he only looked disturbed by his own thoughts. The poor man.
Lupin sighed and patted Jigen's shoulder reassuringly. "It's no problem, I just wanted to ask. You didn't need to overreact. Really, you went a little nuts there."
"Aren't you going to say 'bananas'?"
The two laughed heartily, the tension between them no more.
"Alright!" Goemon shouted, throwing an arm around both, "Off to Italy!"
The three huddled around eachother, each holding out a hand, Luigi coming to join in. "We promise to share, we promise to care, all together as a team! Just stick to it, we can do it! We can do anything! Stand tall, say it loud, we're together and we're proud!"
"Lupin!"
"Jigen!"
"Goemon!"
"And Luigi!"
"Yeah! We're the power rangers!"
"Shut up, Goemon!" Lupin growled, hand ready to pull out a weapon.
"Yes, Father," Goemon rolled his eyes, arms crossed. "I'll get right on that, Father. I'll do whatever you say, Father. I'll go train more, Father, even though it doesn't matter to you no matter how much I don't even want to be a samurai! I wanted to be a telemarketer, but I'll never be good enough for you, will I, Father!?"
But he got no answer. Mostly because the others had already left.
