"OF COURSE a human can be made Sanjiyan by the Humanity Ritual!!!"


Chapter Sixteen:


Radio: ... It's all about the game and how you play it! ... it's all about control and if you 
can take it! ... it's all about the debt and if you can pay it! ... it's all about the game and 
who's gonna make it!

Previously ...

Sanjihaan finally realized that he'll never make a wimp out of Shiva, so he decided to focus 
his attention to someone else. He looked around the lab to find a familiar figure ... one that 
caused a fear in even him. But only a little bit, because Sanjihaan is, without a shadow of a 
doubt, the single greatest entity in the Universe!

Anyway ...

Sanjihaan (stares at transformed Ushasu): Wha ... what is that woman doing here ...??

Ushasu was still stalking Yakumo and Pai, both of whom were still trying to reason with her. 
But it obviously wasn't working, so they had better start finding that will before they run 
out of room to back from.

Sanjihaan looked around the lab again and found Amara, still frozen in shock. His jaws were 
still on the floor. Sanjihaan smirked. He knew that Amara was probably already too terrified of 
his being, so no need for additional fright there.

Sanjihaan moved on his search and finally found the perfect target! Standing in the corner and 
smiling brightly was Latori! She had a happy expression on her face, which contradicted the look 
of fear that Sanjihaan demanded. Well, Sanjihaan will right that wrong, and soon she shall show 
the proper emotions!

Sanjihaan (evil laughter): Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!


* * *


Sanjihaan approached Latori with a slow walk. He chuckled with each step, grinning all the way. 
Jazz music can be heard in the background as he walked. Latori noticed the coming fool and a 
disturbed expression began to form on her face. She had no idea why he was walking towards her, 
and silently prayed that his destination was actually elsewhere.

But of course, we can't always have what we want, right?

A few seconds later, Sanjihaan finally reached Latori. He stood slyly in front of her and then 
folded both of his arms. His eyes were narrow, and he had a smooth smirk on his face. In short, 
he looked like a weirdo trying to look suave.

Latori (O_o;): Uhmm ... hi?

Sanjihaan (smirks): Well, hello there, baby.

Latori (O_o;;): Uhmm ... excuse me?

Sanjihaan (looks at his nails): Now baby, I know what you're thinking, so why don't we cut to 
the chase?

Latori (O_o;;;): O ... kay?

Sanjihaan (looks into Latori's eyes): You, me, romantic dinner. Yes?

Latori (^_^;;;;): Sorry, but I'm a married woman.

Upon saying that, Sanjiyan's narrow eyes became two dots, and his smooth smirk became a wiggly 
line of a frown. Sweat poured from his face.

Sanjihaan (*_*;;): You're kidding?

Latori (shakes head): Nu-uh. I'm married to Mr. Satan, actually.

Suddenly, Sanjihaan's face turned from a look of ridicule to a look of pride. He slowly cracked 
his knuckles and a smirk formed on his face again. Sanjihaan then looked up at the laboratory 
ceiling.

Sanjihaan (smirks): So, Mr. Satan, you say? Hah! Tell ya what, baby, I'm going to fight him for 
you!

Latori (O_O;;;;;): Oh, no. Tell me you didn't just say that!

Sanjihaan (prideful smirk): And then after I beat him, you will be MY wife, and we shall go and 
have our romantic dinner! Bwahahahahaha!

Inside Satan Mansion, and specifically in the Satan Training room, Mr. Satan was busy lifting 
weights and training himself. He worn his usual dark red karate outfit with white sweat pants. 
Beads of sweat poured from his gigantic black afro hair down to his black beard.

As he trained, he recalled the day when he met his wife. Actually, now that he thought about 
it ... he didn't really remember most of it. Just that this odd but beautiful woman popped out 
from nowhere and appeared in front of him. Or something like that?

Mr. Satan (recalls): Uh, let's see if I can remember this ...


*FLASHBACK*


He's done it again.

Mr. Satan proudly stood before the world in the TV set. This was telecasted live for the 
whole world to see. And the whole world did watch the program that night, because it was the 
"Mr. Satan Super Special". Why was such a program on TV? Because once again, Mr. Satan saved 
the world from a certain doom!

TV announcer (announces): Ladies and gentlemen, appearing for the first time since he defeated 
the evil Majin Buu ... please welcome, your hero and mine, Mr. Satan!!

The white certains opened, and out came Mr. Satan! He worn his dark red karate outfit, white 
sweat pants, and a flowing white cape behind. The savior of the world stood behind the 
announcer on stage. Both of his hands were raised into the air in "V"'s. He laughed loudly.

Mr. Satan (laughs): HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

The audience in the telecast went wild when they saw their hero! Raising their fists into the 
air, they proudly chanted his name.

TV audience (chanting): SAH-TAHN! SAH-TAHN!

TV announcer (yells): Yes, ladies and gentlemen! Give it up for the man that not only beat 
Cell 7 years ago, but Majin Buu as well!!

TV audience (chanting): SAH-TAHN! SAH-TAHN!

The announcer than sat down, and pointed a seat next to him for Mr. Satan to take. The world 
savior walked over and sat down. A confident smirk was on his face.

TV announcer (talks): Now, Mr. Satan. Majin Buu was a horrible being that was speculated to be 
stronger than even Cell. With that in mind, how were you able to defeat him? What tactics did 
you use? Please, tell the world how you defeated Majin Buu!

That question caused Mr. Satan to choke up. Sweat poured from his face. Damn it, why did they 
have to ask THAT question first?? He knew that they were gonna ask eventually, but he thought 
that a question of such importance would be saved for last! At least then he would have time 
to make something up! Oh well. Hmm, so how was he going to answer this one?

Mr. Satan (scratches head): Uhmm ... uhhh ... I ... punched Buu! Yeah! All I did was punch him, 
then I ... uh ... kicked him with a ... uhh ... Mr. Satan Mighty Spectularly Powerful Tornado 
Kick! Yeah, that's it! It was the same move I used against ... uh ... Cell! And neither him nor 
Buu could get up after that! So I ... uhh ... just finished him off! Yeah, that's what I did!

TV announcer (applauds): Wow, how amazing!! But sir, if you will, the world has been curious 
about this ... can you explain why we heard two other voices during the fight? Why did they 
ask us to give them energy, and whose voices did they belong to?

Miniture sweat beads formed on Mr. Satan's ridiculously large afro. He scratched his head 
again. He knew exactly who the announcer was referring to ... Son Goku and Vegeta! Those were 
the REAL guys that saved the world, not him! But he obviously can't tell that to the world! 
No way! But ... how will he explain about them?

Mr. Satan (scratches head): Uhmm ... let's see ... uhh ... oh yeah! Those guys were ... uhh .. 
they were my students! Umm ... they wanted to fight Majin Buu first and ... uh ... they came 
close to beating him! That's why they asked for your energy! But, of course, they ... uh ... 
they failed in the end and ... uh ... Buu beat them to the ground! Yeah, that's what happend! 
And before Buu got to killed them, I made the save! Yeah! And let's see ... uhh ... oh, and the 
rest is history.

TV announcer (more applauds): Oh, wow! Did you hear that, folks!? Mr. Satan not only saved 
the world, but he also saved his students! Now that's what I call a true master, ladies and 
gentlemen! Let's give him a round of applauds, and we'll be right back after a few messages!

The audience began to chant their hero's name again. Mr. Satan took a deep breath and sighed 
in relief. Mission accomplished.

TV audience (chanting): SAH-TAHN! SAH-TAHN!

Somwhere in the audience was a beautiful woman with long, blonde hair in a majestic looking 
dress. Unlike everyone else, she wasn't clapping of chanting. Instead, she was carefully 
watching Mr. Satan with all three eyes. Sitting next to her was a cute, seemingly young girl 
with pink hair in a brown ninja outfit and white skirt. The blonde woman watched with interest 
while the pink girl had a bored expression on her face.

Neko-chan (bored tone): Latori-sama ... are you sure he's worth it?

Latori (nods): Of course. He did saved the world twice, after all.

Neko-chan (raises eyebrow): Haha, yeah right.

Latori (sighs): Be a little more supportive, would you?

Suddenly, Latori vanished from her seat and reappeared right in front of Mr. Satan! Neko saw 
this and sighed. Then she, too, disappeared from sight and reappeared next to Latori. Audience 
memebers that sat near them were shocked from this sudden action. Not to mention the horrified 
look on a confused Mr. Satan's face.

Mr. Satan (O_O;;): Wha ... wha ...!?

Latori (smiles): Hello there.

Nervous sweat poured from Mr. Satan's head. Where did these two women came from!? They just 
appeared from nowhere! Almost like that Son Goku and that Vegeta! And look at the blonde one! 
She looked like she's got a third eye on her forehead!

Latori (grabs Mr. Satan's arm): Come with me, please.

Just as sudden as she had appeared, Latori disappeared from sight, grabbing Mr. Satan with her. 
Neko-chan sighed again and also disappeared. These actions caused jaws from not only the 
audience, but the announcer's as well, to drop.

In a park nearby, Latori reappeared with Mr. Satan still in her grasp. Neko-chan also appeared 
right next to them. Mr. Satan fell on the grass and moved a couple of steps back, a horrified 
expression on his face. His index finger rapidly pointed at Latori and Neko-chan.

Mr. Satan (points): Y-y-y-y-you two ... w-w-w-what are ...

Latori took a seat on the grass right in front of Mr. Satan. She smiled gently at him. Neko 
folded her arms and looked down at the two.

Latori (gentle smile): Hi, I'm sorry about earlier. I guess I'll properly introduce myself now. 
My name is Latori. Her name is Neko-chan.

Neko-chan (smirks): Yo.

Mr. Satan (O_O;;;): Uhh ... uhhh ... okay ...

Latori (^_^;;): Anyway, I heard that you saved the world on two occasions. Is that true?

Latori looked him in the eyes. Mr. Satan looked back and found all three of them sparkling at 
him. He couldn't help but admire them ...

Mr. Satan (stares): Whoa ...

Suddenly, Mr. Satan came to. What the hell was he thinking about?? He hardly knew the woman 
at all! And, she's a freak! There's no human being alive with three eyes! Well, except for 
that weirdo back when he was fighting Cell, but that's beside the point! This freaky woman 
was looking at him and demanding answers! He had no need to answer her; after all, he IS the 
savior of the world! And ...

But damn. Her eyes were pretty. The more he stared at them, the more he liked them. He couldn't 
help but keep staring.

Latori (...): Is something wrong? Why do you keep staring at me?

At that point, Mr. Satan snapped out of it. He shook his head and pulled himself of the grass. 
Standing, he folded his arms and turned his back towards Latori. Latori watched, and then 
pulled herself off of the grass. She looked at him curiously.

Mr. Satan (studders): I-I'm fine. N-now to answer your q-question, y-yes, I did save the w-world 
two times. It's t-true. Y-yeah.

A smile formed on Latori's face as she placed her hands on her hips. She turned to look at Neko, 
of whom had a look of disgust. Latori nodded at her.

Latori (nods): See, it's true!

Mr. Satan turned his head slightly to catch the Sanjiyan Unkara's smile. He blushed a little bit, 
and tiny beads of sweat formed on the back of his afro. Latori noticed and turned her attention 
from Neko-chan to him.

Latori (smiles): He wasn't lying about saving the world!

Neko-chan shrugged. Yeah right, she thought. With herself being a ninja, Neko had been trained by 
some of the best masters in ancient Edo. From her trainings, she had learned an uncanny ability 
to measure one's powers. So if her special "seventh sense" hadn't defect after all these years, 
then she could tell that Mr. Satan was about as powerful as the average man. Perhaps just a bit 
stronger, but nothing too significant.

With that in mind, how did this above-average human being "save" the Earth? If memory served 
correctly, Neko-chan remembered at both times when the Earth was in danger that she had measured 
both invaders' powers. Granted, everyone were in Seiichi at the time, and that the distance 
between the Sanjiyan Unkara Holy Land and the Human's Earth were too great to properly calculate 
accurate powers, but come on! Anybody would've known just how obvious the power gap was between 
Mr. Satan and those two evils! Somebody's lying ...

And yet, even if Neko-chan suspected the truth, she knew how much it would hurt Latori if she 
told her what she suspected. After all, Latori had seemingly developed this ... infatuation ... 
on the goof, and it would break her heart if she knew that Mr. Satan had been lying. So, in the 
better interest of her Sanjiyan master, Neko-chan kept quiet about the whole thing.

Mr. Satan began to scratch his head again. He turned around and faced Latori, his face baring 
a ridiculous expression. An expression of ... nervousness.

Mr. Satan (nervous): S-so, uhm ... uh ... you girls want an autograph or something?

At that point, Latori's face turned bright red. She looked away from Mr. Satan and stared at 
the grass. She, too, began to show a sign of nervousness. This cured Satan of his nervous look 
because it replaced him with one of confusion. He looked at the Sanjiyan Unkara.

Mr. Satan (looks): Uhm ... uh ... what's wrong?

The red on Latori's face began to glow bright red, which slowly spread all the way to her body. 
It became even more obvious that she was VERY nervous about something. But what? What was it 
that caused even a Sanjiyan Goddess like her to blush like this?

Latori (blushes): Ummm ...

Mr. Satan (confused): ... ???

Slowly, Latori looked up from the grass and made eye contact with Mr. Satan. Mr. Satan still 
looked at her with a confused expression, as well as one of curiousity. The woman appeared so 
brave before, and then out of nowhere there was this change of attitude? What's going on here?

Latori (looks): Actually ... I ... um ... have another question I'd like to ask you.

Mr. Satan (???): O ... kay. Shoot.

At that point, Latori removed eye contact with Satan and stared at the grass again. She was 
turning beet red from the blush she was having. Mr. Satan continued to stare at her, still 
confused and curious.

Latori (nervous): I ... I was wondering if you'd ... you'd ... go on a ... a ... date? W-with 
me, that is. Umm ... would you?

The words slowly seeped into Satan's head. He continued to stare at Latori with that same old 
look of confusion and curiousity. But then the words finally got through his skull and into 
his brain. So that's what was working her up? Mr. Satan thought. He gave a small chuckle and 
folded his arm to look "cool".

Latori watched his every move. Why was he folding his arms like that? Was he accepting her or 
rejecting her?? What was with the chuckling?? Were there something wrong with her delivery?? 
Oh no ...

Mr. Satan (chuckles again): Haha, sure! How about dinner at my mansion! How does that sound?

Just as slowly as Latori's words made their way to Mr. Satan's brain, Mr. Satan's words of 
acceptance also took their time in registering themselves in Latori's head. When Latori 
finally recognized those words as "positive", a smile made its way on her face. She turned 
around and winked at Neko-chan, who nodded at the Sanjiyan Unkara in reply.

Latori (looks at Mr. Satan): Okay, dinner at your mansion. I'll see you there.

And then at once, Latori took off, apparently disappearing from sight via teleportation. Neko 
sighed and then took off the same way Latori did. Mr. Satan's eyes widened from the way the 
two ladies exited. Oh, and for also one other thing:

Mr. Satan (O_O;;;): Umm ... I never got the chance to give her my home address ...


*END FLASHBACK*


After that fascinating flashback, Mr. Satan had the same bugged out expression. And he thought 
he had forgotten about how he first met Latori! To the best of his knowledge, he never DID 
tell her the truth behind Cell and Majin Buu's defeat. Well, it was something that happened 
years ago, anyway, and there was no real reason for her to know. Nope, none at all.

Mr. Satan continued to lift his weights of 100 pounds for each hand. Ah, the training of a 
world champion!
