And she thought how odd indeed it was that her friend Sakura had previously been seen with cat ears. And Bowser explained their mission in succint and clear detail. Geralt directed her attention to the giant glowing ball on the horizon that was actually NOT the sun but rather something called Galeem. And Karin sat there with her best friend's arms around her, blinking.[color=fff200] "Why. Yes. I imagine that is all a bit strange, now that you point it out."[/color] Sakura pushed back, eyes still wet with relief. [color=f49ac2]"Yeah, huh? It's really weird! And horrible! It's like Mister King Bowser said. This whole time- and the friend heart that I cheated with was just me trying to save you from the evil mind control. And then we had to go off and-"[/color] [color=fff200]"You mean to tell me my very free will was at stake and you [i]lost?![/i]"[/color] Karin said, indigant.[color=fff200] "And then you buzzed off to the other side of the ocean instead of trying again! I [i]killed[/i] someone in the interim time, you know! And I found that very strange since our goal was to take him alive!"[/color] Sakura startled back, covering her mouth. [color=f49ac2]"Oh, my gosh. Miss Karin, I'm so sorry-"[/color] [color=fff200]"Oh, it's fine. He definitely had it coming, I suppose. The serial killer type. But still, it was rather uncouth and out of character for myself."[/color] She went to adjust the ruffles of her sleeve only for her to realise she was still in a bikini. [color=fff200]"...I do look fantastic but it's hardly battle appropriate attire."[/color] [color=f49ac2]"So you're coming with us!"[/color] [color=fff200]"Of course I'm coming with you, Miss Sakura. You all probably had a miserable time without me. Especially you. All by your little lonesome."[/color] Sakura tilted her head to the side. [color=f49ac2]"Well, you're not wrong. It was the worst day of my life, pretty much. I also had to kind of kill some kind of people."[/color] She says, concern and regret flashing across her features. [color=fff200]"I don't doubt it. But yes, this Galeem-"[/color] Karin shot up to her feet. [color=fff200]"My estate! In Tokyo! Where is it?"[/color] Sakura fell onto her butt. [color=f49ac2]"Umm...I don't- I don't know? It could be anywhere. Or it might not even exist."[/color] "[color=fff200]So either it's been stolen or- or it's been left somewhere abandoned and-" She gasps, setting a hand on her chest. "And a bunch of commoners and vagrants and [i]layabouts[/i] are helping themselves to-"[/color] She clenches her fists. [color=fff200]"It's unconscionable!"[/color] "...Is that somehow worse than it not existing at all?" Sakura said. [color=f49ac2]"I mean maybe it's like, they have a roof over their head now, right? At least? [/color] [color=fff200]"Yes, it's-!"[/color] Karin started. Grumpy, she sighed, brushing a golden coil of hair over her shoulder. [color=fff200]"I suppose you're right. But, but what about my private army of ninjas!"[/color] Sakura shook her head. [color=fff200]"My personal orbital strike cannon, the Red Spider-Lily?"[/color] Karin said pleadingly. Sakura shook her head again. Secretly, she was kind of glad Karin Kanzuki no longer had the option to nuke people from orbit with a giant laser. [color=f49ac2]"Sorry, Miss Karin. Some people still don't even know where their loved ones are-"[/color] [color=fff200]"And my vast collection of antique cars!"[/color] Karin pouted. [color=fff200]"No. No, this cannot stand. Nobody gets away with unepending the Kanzuki name. ISHIZAKI-SAN!"[/color] She shouted, with a voice so clear and loud, Sakura once again startled. "Yes, Karin-san!" Ishizaki saluted, looking mildly concerned and confused. The other staff on the beach did as well. [color=fff200]"Knock yourself out at once!"[/color] "Well, all right." He said with a shrug, and then clocked himself on the jaw. Sakura looked vaguely horrified. [color=fff200]"All right, Sakura."[/color] She gestured at her butler/ life-long mentor. [color=fff200]"Do that thing you did on me."[/color] [color=f49ac2]"Miss Karin! You can't just- I can't believe he actually- it's not free, y'know!"[/color] [color=fff200]"Oh but you have so much love to give and you have such a pure heart now shut up, do it, I don't know how."[/color] Grumbling, Sakura did so. Ishizaki kip-upped to his feet. "Ooooh! Wow! Yeah, okay, I get it now! That's crazy!" He glanced over the beach, scratching his head at Galeem in the distance. "That is somethin' else!" [color=f49ac2]"Well, welcome to the club."[/color] The street fighter said, clearing her throat and rising to her feet as well. [color=fff200]"I'm off to get changed. Sakura, you can stay in that droll one piece if you want."[/color] She hesitated, looking at the festivites on the beach.[color=fff200] "You're all free to enjoy yourselves, naturally. For the rest of the day. But I have matters to attend too now and I could hardly do them without shoes on. Be well, all of you! I shall return shortly."[/color] And with that she strutted away. Ishizaki-san followed. [color=f49ac2]"...She is such a weirdo."[/color] Sakura concluded, brushing a strand of brown hair out of her face. [color=f49ac2]"She's gotten better but she is seriously a weirdo. I think all rich people are weirdos. I've only met a few but they're all kind of weird."[/color] Sakura spotted Nadia and waved. Looked at all her friends. Then she kinda turned in a circle, wiping her eyes free of tears. She wasn't sure where to go, now! Maybe she'd just wait for a commotion to happen. Slapping her sides with her limp hands, she sighed with relief and contentment.
