*you can see Kasumi walking by through the eyes of a camera,only for her
to turn,
looking at you directly. She smiles and waves, you wave back and she
keeps on
walking by you. your too stunned to do anything. The camera view changes
into a little
heart shaped window which shakes around her, and suddenly turns red.
"Oh My!"
The title screen then fades in.*

Kasumi Tendo: International housewife of mystery in...
"Curses never die"
a fanfic by Ryo Hibiki

*scene opens with Kasumi walking through a corridor and past many
checkpoints like
James Bond in that one visa commercial.The one difference, though, is
that there are many
frilly drapes and other feminine touches throughout the area. Kasumi
smiles sweetly
and walks torwards an office, a large 'N' can be seen on the door into
the
office. Kasumi hesitates for a second then opens the door. Inside the
office, 'N'
is sitting in a large leather chair, typing away on a computer sitting
on a
large marble desk in front of her. noticing Kasumi, she stops what she's
been doing
and relaxes back into the chair, facing Kasumi*

N: Hello agent K. good work on your last assignment.

Kasumi: Thank you Nabiki. *smiles sweetly* Its so nice of you to say
that.

Nabiki: *sweatdrops and whispers quickly to Kasumi* My name is 'N'
remember!?

Kasumi: Oh my! I forgot Nab... I mean 'N'. *giggles*

Nabiki: *sighs and picks up a large portfolio of the desk and hands it
to Kasumi*
Here is the information on your next assignment K. proceed to the
'kitchen'
once your done going over it and pick up your weapons from agent A.

Kasumi: Nabiki! I don't like the idea of you calling Akane's cooking as
a 'weapon'!
Now she tries very hard when she cooks so you should at least call it
'food'.

Nabiki: Arg! its 'N' Ka...I mean agent K! *grabs her head in
frustration*

Kasumi: Now Nabiki, you should really calm down. I think this job may be
a bit
too stressful for you. *Hearing this just makes Nabiki more frustrated.
Kasumi then
walks up next to her and wraps her up in a hug*

Kasumi: There there Nabiki, everythings not so bad, you just have to
relax more.
maybe a vacation will help? *smiles*

*eventually agent K is able to calm Na....'N' down and she proceeds to
read the
briefing she was handed. it described how recently, disturbances in a
small area of
the bayankala range in China have become frequent and it was her mission
to
investigate, and stop these disturbances. The job seemed a little....
simplistic
compared to other missions she had to do, but she was sure there was a
reason a
housewife of her caliber was needed. Agent K proceeded to the 'kitchen'
where
ak....agent A (she'll never get used to these code names) was 'cooking'.

agent A: *stir frying some orange like substance* hi Oneechan!, I mean!
K!
*smiles sweetly*

Kasumi: Hello Akane! what are you making?

Akane: Well, this was supposed to be chicken stir fry, but then I spiced
it up a
little. I think I might have added a little to much cooking oil.

*Agent A pokes at the goo and has a blank look on her face. Agent K
looks at the
'oil' she was using and sees it was really industrial strength glue.
Agent K then gets a
'thoughtful' look on her face.*

Kasumi: I'm sure it will work, I mean, taste fine Akane. *smiles
sweetly*

Akane: *smiles back* Thanks K! *scrapes the 'chicken' off of the pot and
into a
kawaii lil bento box with a black pig with a bandanna pictured on the
cover*
Look what else I made now!

*Akane, I mean, agent A was pointing to a pile of....something. it was a
pile of
yellowish 'food' with some splashes of purple and green all around it.*

Akane: Isn't it pretty? Its the main dish for tonights international
banquet!

Kasumi: *sweatdrops* umm...maybe you should have agent R taste it first?

Akane: *lights up* oh yes! I almost forgot! thanks K! *runs off to find
'R'*

Kasumi: *sighs* I'm sorry Ranma, its for the good of the mission though.

*K scoops some of the 'food' into a convenient lil rubbermaid container.
the 'food'
instantly eats away at the container like acid and plops onto the floor,
digging a
large hole into the ground.*

Kasumi: Oh my! *K has a thoughtful expression again. She then proceeded
too scoop
the stuff into a specially made (really hard substance)coated container.
the container
makes a burning sound for a few seconds, but the sound abruptly stops*
That should
hold it. *smiles*

*K places the containers on a table and fixes herself a sandwich,
waiting for
agents A and R to return. R has been her partner on many a mission, ever
since that
little encounter in Ryugenzawa...agent A eventually returned, dragging R
in behind
her, kicking and screaming like a little kid*

Ranma: No! don't make me eat your toxic cooking! K! help me!

Akane: Are you saying my cooking is BAD!? you haven't even tried it! R
no BAKA! *A punts
R into the wall. hard*

Ranma: s...saved... *fall unconscious*

Akane: *grumbles* Baka...

Kasumi: Oh my! Akane, that wasn't very nice. Maybe Ranma already ate
lunch before and wasn't
hungry?

Akane: *mumbles something about insensitive baka's and goes back to
cooking*

K: *sighs, 'tsk'ing A a bit and shaking her head. She then scraped R off
the wall
and proceeded to the loading bay*

*Cut to a dark chamber. There is a large glowing table in the center and
many old
women dressed in royal garb are lined up along side it. (If You've ever
seen Seele in
Neon Genesis Evangelion, you can get an idea what it looks like.)
Suddenly, the old
woman at the top end of the table begins to speak*

Old woman(1): How are the preparations coming Cologne?

Cologne: Our spies have confirmed it, the boy is coming.

*Now another woman, the one at the top right corner of the table starts
speaking*

Old woman(2): Are you certain he comes alone?

Cologne: No. that infernal partner of his is with him. She poses no real
threat.

Old woman(1): You'd best be able to back your words Cologne. Your place
on
the council depends on it.

Cologne: *grins* Don't worry, Shampoo can handle her. *at Colognes side,
a young
Purple haired girl has a similar grin*

Shampoo: Nice nice girl no get past Shampoo. *now another woman, the one

just to the left of where Cologne stands, speaks*

Old woman(5):  *looks a little nervous* umm...I have a question?

Old woman(1): *looks annoyed* You may speak.

Old woman(5): Why are we all speaking in japanese?

*Everyone sweatdrops at this and old woman(1) coughs then starts
speaking (in chinese now)*

Old woman(1):[No matter. This meeting has ended.] *The lights over each
person
slowly go out one by one until only Cologne and Old woman(1) remain*

Old woman: Do not fail us Cologne. *The light goes out above her and
Cologne and
Shampoo are alone*

Cologne: He escaped me before, never again. *the last light goes out and
all that is
left is darkness.*

end part 1

Well! That does it for part one of a (possible) continuing series! This
little piece came about one day during an ICQ chat and my friend said I
should post it so... I plan on crossing over some ideas from both the
007 series and some from 'Austin Powers'. C & C would be greatly
appreciated. all characters are copyrighted by Rumiko Takahashi or Viz
(I'm not too sure which). please don't sue me ^_^

Thanks to the Deranged Otaku for helping me out with this fic and giving
me some really great ideas!
