Lamp

2nd in the Furniture Series


Shiro cursed as he bolted into the Kurosaki family's living room, head whipping around as he searched desperately for a place to hide.

"SHIRO!"

Nel's childish shriek pierced the former silence of the house. The foolish Hollow had, quite literally, taken candy from a baby. Err, toddler.

Shiro was now trying his best to avoid her Cero Doble.

Deciding to improvise, he grabbed the shade off of a lamp and stuffed it onto his head.

Standing perfectly still, Shiro held his breath as Nel rushed into the room. He shook as she walked nearer, paused...

His breath whooshed out in relief as she toddled out the door.

Shiro snickered. "Haha, sucker!"

Then he tried to pull the lampshade off his head. Keyword being 'tried'.

Oh no.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH!" he shrieked, voice echoing and watery but slightly muffled as he yanked on the decoration stuck to his head.

Said object refused to budge.

Panicking, Shiro tried to call for help. "AH! Help! Get it offa me!" he wailed.

Unfortunately, the sound reverberated within the lampshade, making his ears ring.

Consequently, his lack of vision, loss of balance, and general discombobulation ganged up on him. Thwack.

Shiro slammed into 2 more walls, tripped over a chair, and stubbed his toe three times before he made it to the stairs.

Frustrated, humiliated, and desperate, he whimpered pitifully as he crawled towards Ichigo's room.

Needless to say, he had some trouble getting the door open. "King..." he whined. "Ah'm stuck!"

Shiro pouted as Ichigo struggled to catch his breath. As the laughter continued, he started to panic. "You're not just gonna leave me like this, are ya? King? You're gonna help me, right? King!? King!?"
