Author's Note: So to any of my fans reading this. I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately…I've just been…busy. I'm sorry I have no excuse, so I'll try and make it up to you by updating nonstop. And to you those who are reading my Danny Phantom fics. I've decided to write them. I deleted the Special moments collection because I've decided there's no use keeping up only one chapter, but I've decided to leave Tainted Love up there just in case one of you might want to read the old version. So without further ado, here's my story.

Giving gum to a person is like a drug deal. You didn't hear anything, see anything, and you didn't get it from me. –Anonymous

Gum

The sunlight streamed in through the open window. Shining directly on a rather disgruntled Ryoga Kamishiro. His eyes ran back and forth as Yuma ran the entirety of the room. As Shark was left to his own devices, Yuma paced, stealing anxious glances towards the door.

The doorbell rang and Yuma flew over and flung open the door to reveal a rather startled mailman.

"Um…sign here," he asked warily. Yuma hastily scribbled his name before all but snatching the parcel from the mailman's gloved hand. The man hurriedly scurried over across the lawn and back to his truck.

The door slammed before the mailman was even off the porch, its sound sending Yuma running back into the family room. Ignoring Ryoga's questioning look, he dug around for a pair of scissors before ripping open the package before him. Rifling loudly through the plastic wrap and tissue paper, he pulled out the item and hugged it tightly to his chest.

"It's here!"

"What's here?"

"Gum!"

Ryoga quirked an eyebrow, "Gum?" he asked very slowly.

"Mmhmm. It's this new gum that hasn't even come out in stores yet. I ordered it online a few weeks ago."

"And it's so great because…?"

"Shauku! Weren't you listening?! It's not in stores yet!"

Ryoga gave him a long withering look before speaking, "Whatever floats your boat Yuma."

Five minutes later Yuma was happily chomping down on his candy when he noticed his comrade was rather silent. Not like that wasn't normal, but this is Yuma we're talking about. So Yuma, being the great friend he is crept up behind the couch and 'inconspicuously' peered over his shoulder, but before he was even a foot close to him, Ryoga spun around to face him.

"What are you doing?"

Yuma jumped, "How do you do that!" Ryoga sighed.

Yuma spied the phone in his hand, "Ooh are you playing a game?" And before Shark could stop him, Yuma reached over and promptly snatched it out his hand. He scrolled around a bit, looking at the text messages before him.

"Who's Kenpachi?"

Ryoga's face flared red as he tried to grab the phone back from Yuma. The phone beeped.

"Ooh! It's another text message!"

Shark's attempts became even more desperate. "Yuma give me the phone."

"Not until you tell me who Kenpachi is!"

And that's the moment where Ryoga tackled him, taking all but one second to pin him to the ground.

"Shauku!"

"What?"

"Please get off me!"

"No."

"Why not?!"

"Because I said so."

"How's that fair?!"

"It's not."

"Meanie."

Sometime later Ryoga decidedly got off of him, a disgruntled Yuma following in suit.

"What was that for?!"

"You stole my phone."

"That doesn't explain why you sat on me!"

"You won't steal my phone again, will you?"

"What does that have to do with any…?!"

"Just answer the question."

"No?"

"You just answered your own question."

"That doesn't make any sense." He looked over to see Shark already back on the couch. Yuma bounded over him and looked over his head. The other tensed, but showed no other objection against his presence. Ryoga didn't know why, but he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

About half a minute later he thought he felt something wet at the back of his head. He went to turn around till Yuma spoke, "Okay… don't get mad. It's not that bad," and a bit of nervous laughter.

"What's not that bad," Shark asked apprehensively.

More nervous laughter. "Promise you won't freak out."

"What did you do?"

Yuma gulped. It's not working. He's getting angrier by the second. Swallowing, he laughed again before gesturing towards the back of his friend's head. Ryoga gave him a wary look before reaching a hand towards his purple locks. He felt something sticky.

Shark turned towards Yuma with a murderous glint in his eyes, and Yuma reacted like any person with half a brain would too. He shrieked for his sister and ran for his life.

So maybe not my best work, but I'll be posting another chapter for this as the epilogue and so on if I feel like adding more. As I forgot to mention in my author's note, this is the reason Ryoga got his hair cut in my Christmas Special. This is rather short, but it still took an hour for me to write because I keep getting distracted. So anyways I'll be writing more soon. I hope you enjoyed this.

Reviews & favorites are appreciated. =D Thank-you!
