DISTRIBUTION: Please ask first. ********** << Chapter 3 >> Kane: Why do I get the feeling there are about 50 more chapters to this thing? Benoit: Because you're the star of the story. Taker: What the hell am I, then? I'm as big a part of this as he is! Jericho: And people say MY ego is out of control. << At the dinner table. Kane saw all sorts of meats and noodles. Taker smiled at his brother's curiosity. >> Benoit: You really DON'T get out much, do you? << Kane tried abit of everything. And liked it. He was hooked on this one meat. "Mmm, what's this? Kane asked. >> Jericho: What's it taste like? Benoit: Chicken. Every unidentifiable meat tastes like chicken. << "That would be rabbit." Taker replied. Kane looked at his plate. >> Kane: And promptly threw up. Taker: You know, you HAVE eaten rabbit before. Kane: No I haven't. Taker: Yes, you have - when we were in Houston for Wrestlemania and Debra an Austin had everyone over for a barbecue. Kane: They didn't serve rabbit. Taker: Yes they did. Kane: I wouldn't have eaten rabbit. Taker: You didn't know - we told you it was chicken. Benoit: Told ya. << "I ate a bunny?" he asked. Taker nodded. >> Kane: I really wish this woman would stop making me sound like a little kid. Benoit: Then stop acting like one. Kane sticks his tongue out at Benoit. Jericho: That is SO mature. Kane: Who asked you? << "Just one suggestion, Don't try this kind!" Taker pointed to a large bowl at the table. "What kind is that?" he asked. "That's dog." >> Benoit: But it tastes just like chicken. Kane (looking at Taker): I've never eaten dog ... have I? Taker: Not that I know of. But you DO eat a lot of Chinese food. Kane: I think I'm going to be sick. << "Eww!" Kane whispered. After dinner, the monks got up and left. >> Jericho: That was rude! The least they could have done was provide some entertainment. << Kane and Taker headed back to their hotel room, they got to keep the Kimonos. >> Taker: I'm so glad. Benoit: You should be. You weren't wearing anything under yours, remember? << They walked into the room, and were shocked to see Sara! >> Jericho: I thought you left her home. Taker: She's like a bad penny - she just keeps turning up. Benoit: Do you always talk about your wife like that? Taker (blushing): Oops ... Did I say that out loud? << "Sara?" Taker asked. >> Benoit: You don't recognize your own wife? Taker growls. << She smiled at Kane and Taker's appearance. And took a picture! >> Jericho: Great blackmail material. << "Sara I swear if you show any of the guys that picture!..." Kane threatened. "Than make me an offer" she replied smirking. >> Jericho: Good girl. << Taker smiled. "You can stay with us for the rest of our vacation?" he asked, she smiled. >> Jericho: That's the best you can do? Benoit: That's pretty weak, man. Taker glares at them. << "We will take you to tour Japan?" Kane asked. >> Benoit: You two are such amateurs! << "more" she said. "What else do you want!" Taker demanded. >> Benoit: Let's see ... All of your money, the house, your motorcycle collection ... Oh, and a couple pints of your blood, just for the hell of it. << "How about a contract....with the WWF. >> Benoit: That works, too. << Taker. I want to be a wrestler!" she replied. >> Taker: Good luck. Jericho: Why exactly DID you marry this woman? Taker ignores him. <> Benoit: Like she couldn't tell his mouth was hanging open anyway. That chinstrap is made of elastic, not steel. << Are you sure?" Taker asked. she nodded >> Jericho (in a high-pitched voice): That way we can be together ALL the time! Taker growls. << She then noticed something on Kane's hand. >> Kane (with a groan): Here it comes. << "Kane, what's with the tattoo?" she asked. "I don't have a tattoo!" he replied. "Yes, look!" Sara showed him his hand, there were scale like tattoos on it! >> Benoit: Okay ... scales wouldn't exactly be MY first choice. << Kane took his kimono off. And Sara and Taker gasped. >> Jericho: Apparently, he DID take his clothes off before he put the kimono on. Benoit laughs; Kane blushes. << "What!" Kane demanded. >> Benoit (in a high-pitched voice): I've just never seen anything that BIG before. Jericho laughs; Taker growls; Kane slumps down in his chair. << Taker took Kane to the bathroom and showed him. Kane was shocked. >> Taker (pointing a finger at Benoit): If you value your life, boy, you won't say it. Jericho: Then I will. Taker: No, you WON'T. Benoit: You just have to ruin our fun, don't you? <> Kane: It means I never should have let Taker drag me to an old temple in the middle of nowhere. << "You maybe a dragon" Taker replied. >> Benoit: That sounds like a perfectly reasonable explanation to me. Kane: It would. << "I told you I didn't like it here!" Kane growled. >> Kane: Amen. << Chapter 4 >> Kane: It's all downhill from here. Benoit: You really need to lighten up a little. Kane: That's easy for you to say - You're not in this! Benoit: It's just a harmless little story. Kane: Harmless, my ass. << "Kane, it's nothing to worry about, it's a tattoo!" taker stated. >> Kane: That I didn't have BEFORE we went to the temple, and I don't remember getting! Jericho: Maybe someone spiked the sake. Kane: That makes me feel SO much better. Benoit (looking at Taker): He takes these things REALLY personally, doesn't he? Taker: Always has. << "NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!" Kane roared, he stormed out of the bathroom. "Taker, I want to go home! And I want to go right now!" Kane growled. >> Benoit: You're sounding like a petulant 3-year-old again. Kane: Under the circumstances, I think it's warranted. << "Kane. We have a week's vacation here!" Sara replied. >> Taker (mumbling): Just like a woman. Jericho: What? Taker: Nothing. << "I don't care. I want to go home!" Kane shot back. >> Benoit: Must you always be so selfish? Kane: Yes. << Taker noticed something odd, >> Jericho: As if this could get any stranger. Taker: Trust me, it can. << the tail of the dragon on Kane's back vanished! >> Kane (covering his eyes with his hands): Just tell me when it's over. << "Kane!...." Taker muddered. "What!" Kane demanded. Kane felt odd, and suddenly, a large tail sprouted from Kane's backside! >> Taker (wincing): Ouch! Jericho: That has GOT to hurt. Kane (still covering his eyes): What? What happened? Taker: Trust me, you DON'T want to know. Kane: That bad? Taker and Jericho: Uh huh. << "AAAHHA!" Kane screamed. >> Jericho: Under the circumstances, I think that's a reasonable reaction. Taker nods. Kane: Can I look yet? Taker: I wouldn't if I were you. Kane whimpers. << "Kane, stay calm!" Taker instructed. >> Taker: That's easier said than done at this point. << "CALM! CALM! LOOK AT ME!" Kane roared, he turned so fast, he accidently hit Sara! >> Jericho: That's gonna leave a mark! << She was knocked down but was ok. Taker ran to check on her! "Sara! Oh Sara I..I'm so sorry!" Kane replied. >> Benoit: You should be, you oaf! You could've killed her! Kane: What? What's going on? Taker (glaring at Benoit): Nothing, Kane. << Kane ran out of the room and to the roof off the hotel. Kane didn't know the wings on the dragon tattoo vanished, and he grew a pair of red and black wings! >> Jericho: How could you NOT notice something like that? Taker: Denial can be a powerful thing. << I got to go..I got to get out of here!" Kane muddered. >> Jericho: I really don't think you can run away from something like that! Kane: Can I look yet? Taker: Yes, you can look. Kane (looking at the other men): What happened? Something bad happened to me, didn't it? Taker: We'll tell you about it later. Kane: Oh god. To Be Continued..
