"The Morning after, the Night before" Banzuke, Sumo Toshiyori, Part 7

"GET UP !!!!" Roared Mr Yamamoto and Valdis, as Rasputin screwed his eyes shut fighting his exhaustion, as he attempted to get to his feet after a countless number of Bouts against his arch rival, Daikonran.

"C’mon, let me give you a hand up…..", The Sweaty Giant Panda stretched out his arm, as he stood over his fallen opponent.

"BAH, I don’t NEED it !!" Snarled Rasputin, swatting the offered hand away, with an angry swipe, and stood albeit shakily, on his own.

Everyone in the Sumo stable, looked expectantly to the Oyakata, who had been watching the two Bears wrestle, as attentively as the rest of them. Everyone wondered if he going to have them fight once more, or pronounce who was the "Winner" ??.

"You needing to learn to "Channel" your Energy !" Kakera suggested to Rasputin, as he swayed a little on his feet, Dai’ on the other hand just wiped his brow with a towel, Jasper had handed to him.

"Yes, Kakera, quite right !" announced the wizened Shar-pei, as Hikari nodded his approval, as he stood beside the stable Master, whilst his own student, Shlank was practising against Lyro and the other lightweights..

"You just charge in, focusing all energy on removing opponent…." Continued the Shar – pei, "You need to be…. like, keeping bit back in case L-O-N-G drawn out Bout, as happen sometimes……".

"Y..yeah, that’s what Max’ says….." huffed Rasputin, as he panted for breath, clay dust from the hard floor stuck to his sweaty fur and dirtied his Mawashi.

"Then LISTEN to him then !!" the wrinkled Dog reminded the bedraggled Russian, pointedly, "I only knowing your Instructor for short time, but I have utmost respect for him, you do well to LISTEN to him!".

"Are you starting to wonder what we’ve got ourselves "into" ?" Dennis whispered to Jasper, as they continued watching, whist Rasputin was being lectured.

"Yeah……" the Polar Bear whispered back, apprehensively. "I think, maybe we’re ALL starting to think that ! …….".

"I "stayed" out of a stupid feeling of "self worth", "pride" or something……" bemoaned the Badger, "Rusty’s got "Thistledown Fashion" to think of now, I doubt he’s too busy to miss me, or Sumo….much less Axel….".

"Come ON !, I doubt that’s true….. Although……..", the Polar Bear sighed, his thoughts elsewhere.

"WHAT", hissed Dennis, as they WERE supposed to be listening to the advise being given to the mighty Russian.

"I think my reason’s similar to yours….. Nameh’s got Decker now, I seem like….. Oh, I dunno……. Surplus to requirements?".

"HEY, I’d KILL for your Job !!, loads of us would !, are you doing this so they’d "miss you", so you’d be more appreciated or something ??" gushed Dennis.

"A tiny bit, maybe….. But I’m as keen as the rest of us are on Sumo, and want to do well in the sport, this really IS a great opportunity and I’m sure we’d have regretted it, if we’d never at least "Tried it"…..I envy you running a class back in England, I can fully understand your staying here to learn, so you can be a better, more experienced Teacher to them, when you…….". Dennis tried to signal to the Polar bear, with gestures of his eyes, that he was rambling on a bit much, Hikari had left his own class of Lightweight Wrestlers, and was marching determinedly towards them, raising a warning finger as he swaggered over. "QUIET !!, BE PAYING ATTENTION !!", snapped the proud Akita, "I have my eye on you, "Bemani" Badger, so…." Hikari warned Dennis, as the pair of them nodded an apologetic bow to him.

"Bemani ?" hissed Jasper, once the Muscular Japanese Dog was out of earshot, back to over seeing his "Lightweight’s" class.

"It’s a "Konami" thing……" Dennis whispered back under his breath, not wanting to risk getting caught "Talking in class" again. "I think "Someone’s" getting Para-Para ’noid !".

The Oyakata had finished advising Rasputin on his method and technique, and after giving Daikonran a few pointers, aided by Kakera, the Shar - pei cleared his throat ready to address the class. "Uhhhhmmmpph" he coughed, theatrically "Morgan and Valdis, please be stepping forward…..".

Apprehensively, the Light Brown and Black Bear’s did as he asked, fearful of what was going to happen, did he intend to…..?

"Both thought well, I not think I need to "Swap" them……." Announced the Shar-pei, Morgan and Valdis breathed a poorly hidden sigh of relief upon hearing this. The elderly Dog paused mid sentence, with a rye smile as though he had expected it, and then continued, fixing his eye on Valdis. "Although IT helped to "Keep you awake", did it not?, Blackie Bear !".

"Y…Yes Sir !" blurted Valdis, feeling both a little ashamed and self-conscious.

"I not think "Changing" your "Partners" would help any!, both of you are fortunate in being Tsukebito to such high ranked Wrestlers, you can count on as being team mate and friend…." The Oyakata smiled, kindly.

"But do you not think to "Swap" them, would teach them more, Oyakata ?….being "Tsukebito" to their "Friend", surely they would not be hard enough on them….?" injected Hikari, who’s idea it had been, originally.

"NO !, Hikari !" snarled the Shar – pei who was once a highly accomplished, and respected Wrestler in his time, "I respected your suggestion, but decided use it in a "different" way…….".

"Fear kept him awake !" added Kakera, comically pretending he was going to pinch Valdis’s ear again.

********************************************************************************

Eventually after the Top ranks had finished their mornings practice, watched by the others who would sometimes be called upon to take a bout against the more accomplished wrestlers or instructors. Everyone was dismissed to go about the daily chores, assigned to them to help run the "Sumo Stable", while the highest ranked Wrestlers got the privilege of getting to Bathe first, as well as getting to eat first or not get up so early in the morning. The "Heretical world" of the Beya, was a definite incentive for any Rikishi to strive to do well in the sport, so he could gain those privileges for himself.

"Morgan, I’ve going to fetch my clothes from my room?…..I’ll change after I bathe……….. ‘you go and see to the bath for me, alright ?". Morgan just nodded his head, partly as a bow, and in acknowledgement, and solemnly wandered of to do as he was asked. The Giant Panda sensed something was wrong, but decided to say nothing.

"I can’t BELIVE I have to use the bath AFTER that Panda !" Rasputin complained bitterly, as he scrubbed the sweat and dirt from his face with a towel.

"You not know Japanese bathing custom ?", asked Kakera, as he pulled on his Yukata, over his ample Mawashi in readiness to go out.

"I explain it to him….. you take someone help carry shopping !" announced Mr Yamamoto, as he intervened, putting a Fatherly hand on the Grizzlies shoulder.

"Ralph !, you come down town with me, help carry bags !", he beckoned to the Kangaroo, "Go fetching yourself Yukata, we have many hanging up by door……Colin !".

"Umm, yes Sir…..", the Koala stepped forward, with trepidation as the plump Rat beckoned him towards the kitchen. "I leaving YOU in charge of Kitchen, you on "Chanko" duty, until I return…..".

"Chanko duty ?"

"Cut, peel and getting vegetables ready for to make Chanko-nabe, like you did last night….you good at it !, I even let you wear "Special" apron !".

"Thanks……" wheezed Colin, mentally cursing his bad luck. As Kakera took the aforementioned Apron of a peg on the kitchen wall, and ceremonially placed it over the Koalas head, and tied it at the back, the apron cords making a big bow, which hung over the top of his Mawashi knot. Looking down, Colin could see it had a small cartoon picture of a baby Chicken with the words "Piyo Piyo" underneath, emblazoned in the middle of the chest.

"Hey look, it’s the "Naked Chef" !" joked Dennis, as he wandered through the Kitchen, and spotted Colin’s butt cheeks hanging out the back of his apron.

"Rack off, Pommie !" roared the Koala, angrily shaking his Vegetable peeler at him.

"You be nice to him, he cooking all our food !" Kakera reminded the Mawashi clad Badger, as he was heading through the door.

"YEAH !, or maybe I’ll SPIT in yer food !!", added the acerbic Koala.

"Not wise, seeing as we all eat from same pot !" mumbled Kakera as Ralph returned, wearing a Cotton Yukata, printed with a repeat pattern of the "Shohoku Beya’s" logo, and obediently followed the massive Rat as he produced a large shopping list from somewhere, quickly scrutinised it, and then turned on his heel to go.

*********************************************************************************

Daikonran returned to the small Japanese bathroom, where Morgan was attentively checking the water temperature, and locked the door behind him with a mischievous, Cub like grin.

"Morgan, my friend…. LOOK what I’ve got !!" beamed Daikonran, as he produced a familiar key, from his Yukata pocket and waggled it playfully at the other Bears face.

"Not tonight !, I’ve "Got a Headache" !" snarled the Light Brown Bear, dissmisifully, recognising it as being the key to the top floor Jacuzzi, in the nearby Hotel….. Where they often had orgy’s with their other friends.

Crestfallen, Daikonran replaced it sadly into the robe’s pocket and placed it down neatly, in readiness for after he’d bathed. The Giant Panda just looked hurt, and his round black ears twitched in an endearing, sad way, as he untied the knot at the back of his Mawashi and it came loose, pooling around his ankles "Why not……??" he whispered, softly.

"……Because I DON’T take too kindly to being offered up like a piece of MEAT !!, that might suit some certain "Beta" Canines but NOT me !", snarled Morgan, angrily, the sound of the noisy water heater preventing anyone from outside overhearing.

"What do you mean ?", Daikonran screwed up his face, in thought, as he sat on the bathing stool, and rinsed the clay dust and sweat from his naked body with the shower hose.

"I was offered up like "A prize", a Princess in a Fairy tale or something!" gushed Morgan, growing angrier with each passing second, all his "Bottled" feelings exploding to the surface now, like an uncorked bottle of Champagne.

"With all due respect, with your Mawashi on, you look more like a Baby Bear, than a Princess…" joked Dai’ with a coy look, trying to lighten the mood with humour, as the naked Panda got up and clambered into the bath. But Morgan’s glowering look proved to him that it was wasted. "Do you mean the thing about Valdis and yourself as Tsukibo’s, possibly being "switched" between Rasputin and myself…??".

"YOU KNOW DARN WELL, THAT’S WHAT I MEAN !!" Snapped Morgan, as he stood like an angry soldier on "Parade", beside the bath.

"Easy, my friend… that’s just the Oyakata and the other Senior’s having a little fun, giving us a little incentive to Wrestle, I don’t think they meant to……".

"Don’t you "My friend" me !, is THAT all I am to you….. I’d walk through FIRE for you, and it’s like that’s NEVER enough……Why am I NOT surprised you take the Oyakata’s side, you’ve practically revered him as a God, since you first saw him, …. Good ol’ Morgan could take a running jump for ALL you cared !!".

"Do you mean…….because I decided to stay ?". Daikonran whispered, earnestly. "Can you scrub my back between my shoulders please ?"

"GGGGGGUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!" growled Morgan in pure frustration, there were times when Dai’s carmness could be infuriating. "What happened at the very end of the Basho?!, we woke up, got ready to go… and YOU "dropped the bombshell", that YOU where STAYING!, YOU discussed it with your parents, BUT NOT ME !, good ‘ol Morgan was EX-PECT-ED to be the "Good little wife" who stayed at home, and "Minded the Fort", or in YOUR case, YOUR place at precious Kuma Motors !!".

"Y..yes..I..I understand that now, it was a big decision for me to make…..it wasn’t easy for me, you understand ??". quavered Daikonran, it looked as though tears were starting to form in the corners of his soulful Brown eyes, as he lulled idly in the bath.

"It’s all about YOU isn’t it !!" snarled Morgan, turning his back on him and storming off in disgust.

"Please Morgan….Don’t go off in a huff !……aren’t you at least going to "Scrub my back ?"…… I don’t want to have to pull rank on you !!".

"Why don’t YOU do just whatever YOU want to !" spat Morgan, as he unlocked the door, and slammed it behind him, ignoring the Panda’s plea’s.

*********************************************************************************

"I….is…it true ?" whispered Ruffert, as he and Lyro took the bag’s of rubbish down the long concrete path, out to the large bin’s by the Beya’s entrance.

"WHAT !" the Black Wolf explained, impatiently, "What’s "True" ??".

"That you’ve "Left" Randell……..?", the German Shepherd replied, simply.

"Well,……"Duh!"…..", Snarled Lyro, belittling the other Canine, making him sound stupid, "The FACT I’m here and HE isn’t !".

"You where frightened to go back….. Weren’t you ?" continued Ruffert, Lyro wasn’t as intimidating without his "Alpha" around, and he was half a world away by now.

"Yeah…" sighed Lyro, reverting to his normal dull subservient voice, "It was starting to frighten me what he’d "Become"……".

Ruffert just cocked his head, quizzically, and Lyro continued without being prompted. "He REALLY had it in for those Two Germans, and attacked them in the corridor one night……I don’t know what came over me…I more of less, just stood there with my jaw hung open, I didn’t want a part in it…… I just wanted to be part of the Basho and wrestle, but with Randell, it’s all about the "Winning" and not the "Taking part" or even being a "part" of it……nothing else mattered to him….. just WINNING".

"Perhaps you’re growing a spine, or a conscious…….?" Hinted Ruffert.

"HAH, YOU’RE a fine one to talk !, you fell for his charms almost as easily as I did, you know how charismatic he can be, not to mention dominating, some of us are just "Natural Betas" and NEED that, as strange as it sounds……..But YOU understand that, don’t you ?" Lyro glowered at the Dog in much the same way Randell would have.

"Y..Yeah…" quavered the Alsatian, flattening his ears as his own private recollection came flooding back, "Umm,….So….. I mean, you weren’t on the Airport Bus".

"I just packed up my things in a frenzy and made my own way there the second the whole thing was over, I didn’t want to be at the receiving end of him venting his anger at having lost". Ruffert just nodded his understanding, he’d never really heard Lyro talk this much, he seemed "Different" now he was free of the others influence. "It was something that Hikari did and said "Backstage" that changed me really……" the Black wolf continued his confession, then appeared to mentally stop himself and change the subject. "Do you think we’ve changed?, or are all of us "acting out of character" ??……. do you think ??".

Ruffert thought for a moment before giving his answer, "I don’t know…… Maybe we all need our heads examined for staying here?, I think it was Morgan’s "Rallying cry", that inspired a lot of us to come here to try out the "Sumo Stable life" for a while…….".

"Really ??, how so ??", the Wolves ears perked with interest, as he stuffed the rubbish bags into the appropriate bins..

"Well, Daikonran was the only one staying…We’d all got on the bus, and when it got to the first set of traffic lights, Morgan just jumped up, announced he was going to stay, and would any of us like to come with him ?".

"So he’d have a shoulder to cry on if he got turned down flat…….?" Observed Lyro, dryly.

"Yeah, maybe……" Ruffert remembered that the relationship the two Bears had, was no secret to the Wolf, even though Lyro or Randell could have easily "Outed" any of them as "Gays", they never did !. their was a kind of unspoken honour amongst the Wrestlers that were "Gay", or maybe it was simply because they’d have run the risk of incriminating themselves, for having known.

"The funniest thing about all this, is that I’m assigned as YOUR Tsukibo !" sighed Lyro, looking up at the sky. "You’re more or less MY Alpha now….hard to believe, isn’t it ?".

"Yeah, I imagine you’d prefer someone more…y’know…..Like, Hikari, maybe?".

"Yeah…."Maybe"……although he’s probably as straight as an arrow, knowing MY luck……", sighed the Black Wolf, whimsically, as he began walking back down the path to the Beya.

"How did…you and Randell…..meet ??", asked the Lithe Mawashi clad German Shepherd Dog, as he hurried along to catch up with him.

"Not much to tell really !" muttered Lyro, becoming aware they where reaching a point where the rest of the stable might over hear, "He just "Cruised" a bar, looking for "Someone like me", and the rest is history as they say……and we’re "History", now I guess……he’d probably rip my throat out, if our paths ever cross again".

"What about that Koala guy, Colin ?, you turned up with him…..?" asked Ruffert, earnestly.

"Yeah, He seemed a real jerk from what I’d seen of him at the Basho’s, but he seemed genuinely worried that his Kangaroo team mate had stayed behind to train without him. Both of us were sat in the departure lounge debating weather or not to go home or come here…. So when I said I knew where the Beya was, he kind of talked me into it with that flappin’ jaw of his……".

"Do you think they are a…..y’know….."Couple" ?" whispered the Alsatian as they reached the door to the Beya.

"Nah…..!!!" snarled the Black Wolf, with a dismissive wave of his hand, as they wandered back inside.

*********************************************************************************

"You ist NOT my Mutter or Vather to ve telling me who I can or cannot be speaking vith !!". Knall complained bitterly, as he made Shlank’s bed, while the slender, muscular Doberman, lent lazily back against the wall, watching and scrutinising his every move

"Yah, but remember I ist "Outranking" you !!" the Doberman, reminded him, with a self important sneer, "And ve making sure Futon shooken up enough, NOT vant stuffing all down one end.

"HA !, you making it sound like ze ARMY !!" snarled the Rottwiller, clenching a hand into an angry fist.

"Humph" snorted Shlank, "You ist my Tskibo remember !, be behaving as such !!, I say I ist NOT vanting you talk to zat "Ruffert", you OBEY, unt NOT talking to him, Verstehen ?!.

"Yes, mein kommandant !!" spat the burly Rottwiller, sarcastically as he leapt to his feet, and saluted.

"Better !" hissed Shlank, unmoved by the much larger Dogs attempt to intimidate him, "I SAY not vant you talk to him as he ist not "True" "GERMAN", German Shepherd, it sicken me, in fact…he ist such a sorry specimen, ist not noble and proud as "true" Deutscher schafer hund would unt should be !".

"I not believing mein ears !" wavered Knall, as he was about to stoop down to continue making the bed, as he was expected to, "You ist a RACIST !!!".

"No, not really….." fawned Shlank, "it ist just him out of everyone here, that I ist having problem vith……".

"You sounding like my Grobvater, he have stupid, arrogant opinion’s like zhat, unt the grounds of vhat species someone ist, BEFORE even talk or gettink to "Know" zhem…….".

"SHUT UP unt make ze bed, Idiot…no one askink you to THINK !".

"Reason NOT have "Problem" vith others, ist probably because zhey could HAMMER you into za ground……" snarled Knall, bearing his teeth, as he angrily got to his feet once again. His team mate just flashed him a haughty look, but swallowed as he did so.

"You just like zat Amerikan "Randell" Vulf, you vant to pick on Canines you think "veaker" zan yourself……. You NO better zhan him !".

"Ha, not true !!" breathed the Doberman, as he defensively folded his arms in front of him, and adjusted his casual stance, leaning back against the wall once again.

"PROVE IT ZHEN !!" growled Knall in a deep throated voice, "You ist thinkink yourself VERY high unt mighty, zince you BEAT him, Yah, YOU beat him, you ist "Champion" lightveight.. no vun can dispute zat, only I ist asking you to PROVE to me zat you are BETTER zan him !!". Breathing in sharply, Shlank screwed up his face in thought, and after a few seconds answered…."Ok, but….".

"NO BUTS !!" thundered Knall, in a flash his large right hand went for the other Dog’s throat pinning him up against the wall, and lifting him off the ground slightly. "I vill continue talking to "Ruffert" if I vish, not care if he Alsatian or Poodle…….I accept my place as being your "Tsukebito", but NOT accept you becoming like Vulf was, a swaggering Bully….zis supposed ze "Noble" sport !, ist zat not word you use describe "True" "German" shepherd ??".

"Ha !, maybe…" croaked Shlank, struggling against the vice like grip.

"Become a BETTER champion zhan HE vas, zhen !!…..Or it ist OVER between us, I ist not sticking ar’und here, ‘see you make FOOL of yourself……". Glowered Knall, forcing his partner to meet the fiery gaze in his eyes, "NOBLE, remember ?!". and with that, he appruptly released him, and the Doberman slumped forward to his knee’s gasping for breath a little, but trying to make it look as though he wasn’t.

"I should REPORT you to the Oyakata FOR ZHAT !" spat Shlank, as he rubbed his throat, where the other’s hand had gripped him.

"Go ahead !" suggested the staward Rottwiller, puffing up his massive chest, "Vhat’s the WORST he can do….. send me HOME !, who "Stick up" for you zhen ?", and with that, he continued to make the Bed as if nothing had happened.

*********************************************************************************

"What’s da matter, Mate ?" asked Colin, as the seemingly crest fallen Kangaroo wandered into the Kitchen, laden down bags of Vegetables.

"I saw….. Her….." sighed Ralph, as he flopped the bags down, wearily

"Her ?? Her who ??, Oh…NO… Wait a minute, you don’t mean…..".

Ralph just nodded his head, sadly as Kakera wandered past, put down his bags and went into the other room, probably in search of the Oyakata. "Yeah, I saw Natsuko….We where in this Grocer’s shop, she didn’t know I saw her walking by outside, but she was with this good looking Male Feline, laughing and giggling…they where probably on a date, or…..".

" ‘Hate to say "I told you so "……." Muttered Colin, dryly as he renewed his interest in his work, preparing food as the Rat had shown him.

"YOU JUST DID !" spat Ralph, indignantly.

"Oh yeah……", sneered the stocky Koala, "While I’m at it ‘mustn’t forget the "Mixed species" relationships DON’T work part", either……".

"Oh yeah, like YOU have to bat off the "Sheila’s" with a stick, they’re just fallin’ at your feet, aren’t they !!". rebuked the Kangaroo.

Colin wrinkled his nose distastefully, as he often did, as he slammed down his Vegetable peeler as he angrily whirled around to confront Ralph.

"You mean to say you stayed here, so you could try and go out with her ??, are you out of your FLAMIN’ MIND !, she hardly did more than bat her eyelids at you, and you’re…….".

"RACK OFF !" spat Ralph, cutting Colin off in mid rant, "Ever think there MIGHT be MORE to it than that !!".

"Yeah ?….. Like WOT !…this is like Boot Camp !".

" ‘Don’t like it ?, you can always GO HOME !, you’ve got your open ticket same as the rest of us……" snarled Ralph, who didn’t normally lose his cool, but his lifelong friend was REALLY getting under his skin, this time.

"I "WAS" going to…..I let you clamber off the Bus, thinking you’d chicken out at the last second, ‘cos I wouldn’t be there to wipe yer nose an’ hold your hand……".

"YOU’RE the one who needs your nose wiped, OR PUNCHED !!" roared Ralph, clenching his fists and raising them to chest height, like a Boxer, hoping to silence him with the threat.

"Yeah, whatever….." Colin replied, completely unmoved, knowing Ralph didn't mean that, as he was too laid back. Picking up his ‘peeler the Koala went back to work, and mused, casually "I was at the Airport "about" t’ get on that plane an’ I thought…..".

"You’d better come here to "hold my hand"…….?", snorted Ralph, folding his arms defensively across his chest, as he predicted the rest of the Koalas sentence. "Or you were worried I’d outshine you when I got back…..". Colin’s mouth just hung open, for once he was unable to come back with an instantaneous searing comment.

"The Oyakata more or less appointed you as my Tsukebito the minute you arrived because he could "See that", he’d watched us at practice before the Basho remember, HE’S GOT EYES !!".

"What’cha sayin’ Ralphie…you’re REALLY pushing me with that "Tsukebito" thing you know !!".

"That’s the whole point, you drongo !" spat Ralph, indignantly.

"RIGHT !!" Colin slammed down his Vegetable peeler again, angrily, and made a determined step towards the ‘Roo "THAT’S BLOODY IT !!".

"Is there problem ?", Kakera suddenly re-appeared in the kitchen. Colin just stopped dead in his tracks, and shuddered.

"Heard raised voices ?" continued the massive Yukata clad Rat, innocently, glancing at each of the Australian duo with suspicion.

"Err, we where just ‘aving a "Discussion"…"Sir"…" blurted Colin, as he and Ralph nodded an apologetic bow towards him.

"Oh that reminding me…" beamed Kakera, rummaging around in one of the large shopping bags. "I have brought you drink, Colin…..for showing, "No hard feeling", and for replacing one of yours I drink at morning practice.

"Errr, Thank you, "Sir"……" the Koala nodded another Bow to the Heavy Weight trainer, as a Blue tin was handed towards him, "That’s very…err "Kind" o’ you…..!". As he cautiously took the slender drinks can, "Pocari SWEAT !??", Colin read the White scripted writing, as he apprehensively fingered the ring pull.

"It not fizzed up, it…..what that word ??".

"Isotonic….??" Suggested Colin, reading the side of the slim can.

"Drink all up, it good for you !" Kakera insisted.

"Beaugh….it tastes all medicine-y !" grimaced Colin, as he took his first small swallow of the cloudy drink.

"Drink up !" insisted the massive Mawashi clad Rat, as he stared, transfixed at the Koala, struggling to finish the sports drink.

"Th-er-e…." gasped Colin, as he forced himself to down the last of it, and pulled the tin away from his muzzle in exasperation.

"What REALLY matter with you both ?, you can be telling "Uncle" Kakera !" smiled the Rat.
