Ami/Miroku: Personality Clash!

[Carthrat]

Miroku manages to slide toward the thug, lose his balance, and sprawl into his legs with all the grace of a brick.

The thug toppled and fell... on Miroku.

[Kwokinator]

Kwok walked up to the game stall.

"Such wonderful skills you have against a little girl, it's amazing, really," he smirked. "Wanna tell the poor girl where the token really is?"

[Carthrat]

The man gives a start, before turing a gaze to Miroku.

"What're you implying, houshi?" he comments, in a degrading tone.

[Kwokinator]

"I'm not implying anything," Kwok glared at the man. "I'm just saying you should tell the contestant just where you put the coin."

"I mean, since it's not in that one, it's gotta be in one of the other two, right?  Or is it?"

[Carthrat]

With a flourish, the man revealed the coin was hiding underneath.. the leftmost cup, as opposed the middle cup which the child picked.

"As you wish, sir. As you can see, the coin is right here."

[RyderHakubi]

"Kwok, you idiot... Not everyone that runs these types of game is a scam artist you know." Ryder said with a bit of indignation...

[Kwokinator]

"Yeah, you're right," Miroku smiled at Ami. "Let's go."

Wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he turned began to walk away slowly, half-dragging her along.

"I KNOW the man's cheating," he leaned over and whispered in her ear. "I saw it.  He took the token out of the cup.  It was in the middle cup, the girl should've won.  He just put it back in when I told him to reveal the answer."

"Got any ideas to expose him?  Normally I might not bother, but using tricks against a little girl like that ain't right."

[RyderHakubi]

Ryder gently pushed Kwok's arm off her shoulder and said, "So, he's a fruad, right?  The easiest way to stop him is to catch him in the act."

[Kwokinator]

"I know that," Kwok countered. "But that means he's gonna get away with it this time and the girl goes away unhappy."

[Kwokinator]

"Grr..." Kwok growled. "I'm gonna get him one of these day, I swear..."

"But in the meantime," he sighed. "I guess you're right, there's nothing we can do.  I just feel sorry for the poor girl, 's all..."

[RyderHakubi]

"Like I said, it's not like I don't care about the girl.  But, we can't do anything about it.  Justice will have it's day, trust me..." Ryder said.

Where did that come from?!?

[Kwokinator]

Kwok snickered at Ami's reply.

"Right, and the senshi of love and justice would know best, right?" he smirked.

[RyderHakubi]

"I don't know, it just felt right to say that.  Being a Senshi for what has to be a week can do that afterall..." Ryder said

[Kwokinator]

Kwok reached over and patted Ami on the head.

"Aww... is our blue-haired senshi whining?"

[RyderHakubi]

"Shut Up Kwok..." Ryder said.  "Remember, I still do not like the fact that I'm stuck as a girl for who knows how long."
