This idea just popped into my head as I saw a fan art. The story is COMPLETELY unrelated though, heh heh!

Disclaimer: I don't own TWENY… and never will. I not that much of a genius to think up a story like that one!

"Hey! Neku, look what I got!" Shiki called as she ran over. Neku turned around annoyed.

"What did you buy this time?" He asked with an exasperated tone.

Shiki just tried to ignore him and showed her new prize: A small hoop earring, ones that hugged the earlobe. It was made out of metal with patterned glass shards imbedded in it.

"I found it in this one store, apparently it raises your attack by a lot!" she told him. Neku glanced at the small thing.

"Okay… and why are you showing me this?"

Shiki began to fidget.

"Well, I already have earrings," she answered, gesturing at her stylish studs resting on her earlobes. Neku's eyes widened.

"Hell no," he muttered, drawing up his turtleneck up to his nose and over his ears.

"You're not piercing my ears," he mumbled. Shiki stepped forward and pulled down his turtleneck.

"I just have to pierce your left ear!" She said insistently, before taking out her sewing kit and removing a needle.

"W-wait," told her, as he was getting increasingly worried, "don't you need a lighter or something like that?" He simply stared in shock as Shiki pulled out a lighter and ran the needle over an open flame.

"Why…" He said dumbstruck. Shiki laughed at Neku's expression.

"I like trying to make my own accessories sometimes and you need a lighter here and there, now just don't move," she told him as she reached for his ear.

"W-wait," he tried to protest but as soon as he felt the needle prick his ear, his nerves left him and he ran for it.

"Stop it Neku!"

"NO! Back off!"

"You can fight Noise and beat them to a pulp but you're afraid of a needle!"

"YES! Stay away!"

"Don't worry Neku! It's not going to hurt!"

"WTF? Of course it is! YOU ARE GOING TO POKE A SEWING, SEWING NEEDLE! THROUGH MY EARLOBE!"

"Neku! That's the most you've said so far in the entire Game to me!"

"…"

All the Players just stared as they saw a girl with a needle running after a boy as their shouts echoed through Shibuya. Neku soon began to tire, and at the worst possible time.

"Beat! Rhyme! Get him!"

The two siblings looked up in surprise from their quick snack, and Beat was first to act, tackling Neku to the ground.

"Ow! That's,huff, overkill," he managed to gasp out as he pushed Beat off him, too tired to resist.

"Grab him!" Shiki yelled, and Rhyme just shrugged to her brother and did as Shiki added, with Beat following suit.

"So, whaddya do this time 'Phones?" Beat asked, snickering.

"Shut up!"

"Huff, huff, I caught up! Now tell me why you don't want your ear pierced!"

"WHA?"

Shiki turned to Beat and Rhyme.

"I found something to up his stats, and he's freaking out about getting his ear pierced!"

"I don't like needles," he muttered.

"Wow Neku, I didn't know you were squeamish," Rhyme commented.

"Hyah! STAB!" Shiki yelled and pierced his ear.

"OW! Owowowow… Dammit, it hurts like hell, that's low," Neku told her.

"There's blood too," Rhyme added.

"Hope you're not scared 'a blood 'Phones."

"Serves you right for making me run. Oh shoot." Shiki said to herself.

"What now?"

"I pierced the wrong ear, guess I'll have to pierce the other one too."
