Kasumi enters the room with a platter of fruit and sets it onto the table.
Everybody stops fighting as she smiles at them.

Kasumi: Here is some fresh fruit from the market.

Ranko grabs a lemon, halves it and begins sucking on it. Then she stops in
wonderment.

Akane: What's up, Ranko?

Ranko: Kasumi, what kind of fruit is this?

Akane: [before Kasumi can answer] It's a lemon, baka! Everybody can see
that.

Ranko: That's what I thought at first, too. But try this...

She hands Akane the second half of the Lemon, and Akane is just as
astonished as Ranko is, when she bites down on it.

Akane: It... It's sweet.

Kasumi: The lady I bought them from said they came from Australia.

Akane: [disbelieving] Australia?

Ranko: What kind of lady?

Kasumi: A kawaii young woman in a tight, black jumpsuit. [screws up her
face trying to remember] I think she was carrying a katana.

Ranko: Sure, Kasumi. Next you'll tell us she was really a female ninja
who's just selling lemons for fun.

Kasumi just shrugs and smiles. She returns to the kitchen.

Ranko: Sweet lemons from Australia! Sometimes I think Kasumi is having us
all on.

*ROTFL* I just noticed this ... *laughlaughlaugh*

[BTW, What's the Japanese term for that? Was it "bishounen" or am I mixing
things up?]

Hai, it's 'bishounen'...

(I guess this is old by now, but it was funny. ^_^ )

Kun-chan...
