Ami and Asahi walk down the street covered in ash.


Ami:
Erm Asahi?

Asahi:
Yeah?

Ami:
People are staring...

Asahi:
Eh, what's the matter with that?

Ami:
Blushes in embarrassment
Maybe it has to do with the fact that almost all of my clothing is burnt off-

Asahi:
Oh yeah, right that. But still, I don't see what's wrong with that.

Ami:
They're looking at you in disgust. It's almost like you- did something questionable-

Asahi:
UH-UH! THIS IS NO ECCHI MOMENT! I REFUSE TO BE A PART OF AN ECCHI MOMENT!

Ami:
Ecchi?

Asahi:
Ah, never mind.


Asahi looks at the people, giving them glares of disgust.


Asahi:
nervous
HEY, HEY, HEY GUYS, YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG! I SAVED HER FROM A BURNING BUILDING!

Civilian 1C:
Oh really?

Asahi:
YES, YES, OF COURSE!

Civilian 1a:
Then, care to explain why most of her clothes are almost torn, and yours seem fine?

Asahi:
SERIOUSLY! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME! I HAD A JACKET AND A SCARF! THEY WERE BURNT OFF IN THE FIRE!

Civilian 1C:
Cap. Then how the hell is your shirt still intact, huh?

Asahi:
sweats
I DON'T KNOW! ASK THE CREATOR ABOUT THIS LOGIC! I'M THE VICTIM HERE!

MWDS: *shrug* -.-

Civilian 1C:
What the hell are you talking about?

Asahi:
TCH.

Bites fingernails
Thinks: BASTARRRD! I'M SO GONNA BE ON YOUR CASE ABOUT THIS ONE IN PAGE BREAK VI!

Ami!

Ami:
Hm?

Asahi:
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME OUT HERE! I SAVED YOU NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO SAVE ME!

Ami:
Okay okay!

Asahi:
sighs in relief
Thank you!

Ami:
Miss.

Civilian 1C:
Eh?

Ami:
He's telling the truth.
points to the destroyed building behind them
He did save me, and he did. I had a scarf and jacket.

Asahi:
:D HA! TOLD YOU!

Civilian 1C:
Tch! Whatever!
walks off

Asahi:
Pbbbt!


A short minute after that whole commotion, the two arrive at Tenkaichi Manor.


Ami:
Woahhhhh! You never told me you were loaded!

Asahi:
laughs
Well, welcome to your new home. Roomie!
nudges

MWDS: Since this chapter is light, I won't mention the giant hole in the wall at the entrance. Oh, wait... I already did, didn't I? Ah well! Let's say the manor has magical healing abilities and has healed itself! Yeah, we can go with that!


They both enter the manor; Aki is watching TV on the couch.


Aki:
And who might you be?

Ami:
Ami. Ami Uragiri.

Aki:
OHHHHH Ami!
looks at Asahi and smirks

Asahi:
. . .

Aki:
I have heard A LOT about you! Like A WHOLE LOT about you!

Asahi:
S-SHUT THE HELL UP!
grabs Aki's shoulders

Aki:
Geez! Geez! Calm down, bro!

Asahi:
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!

Ami:
Asahi please calm down!

Aki:
Yeah, man, listen to your Girlfriend!

Asahi:
AHHHH SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I'LL SHOOT YOU, YOU BITCH!

Aki:
Aw, look at him, Ami, he's all embarrassed!

Asahi:
stops shaking Aki
faceplants dramatically onto the floor
DING!

Aki:
Oops, I think I went a little overboard!

Ami:
Asahi! Are you ok?!

Asahi:
x-x

Aki:
So Ami.

Ami:
Hm?

Aki:
What brings you here?

Ami:
Oh! Erm- Asahi can explain that!

Aki:
Oh okay.
kicks Asahi 
GET UP, IDIOT, AND TELL ME!

Asahi:
OWW! FUCKING ARGH! GEEZ ALRIGHT! Okay, so Ami's house had burned down, and it, uh- whispers to Ami.
Should I tell him?

Ami:
Oh! Yeah, it's okay. I'm kind of numb to it now.

Asahi:
Okay then. So her family was killed in that house fire, and I found her when I was walking down the street. I managed to save her life from the fire just before the building collapsed.

Aki:
Okay, but why is she here?

Asahi:
Oh! I was wondering if she could live with us.

Aki:
Hm.

Asahi:
So could she?

Aki:

Look at Ami covered in ash and dust
You know what, sure.

Asahi:
Wait! Where can she stay?

Aki:
WITH YOU, OF COURSE!

Asahi:
EHHHHH?!? WHAT ABOUT YOU?!?

Aki:
Oh me? I can sleep in Connie's room, of course!

Asahi:
NO, NO, NO! How about the other way around, huh? What do you say, Chl- er, I mean Ami?

Ami:
Yeah, I can do that.

Asahi:
THEN IT'S SETTLED. AMI SLEEPS IN CONNIE'S ROOM! Oh, uh, what happened to Connie?

MWDS: I'm about to do what's called a pro-gamer move!

Aki:
Oh, uh, Connie? Didn't you see the news?

Asahi:
No? Why?

Aki:
It talked about a girl standing on the ledge of a 30-story building and how she jumped off and hit the ground head-first. It turns out that the girl's name was Connie Tenkaichi.

Asahi:
Gosh.

Aki:
Exactly
