Author's Notes: Below are some definitions that you should know before reading the story. If you know these words, great! If you don't but don't want to read them, that's cool too. And if you read them, and they help, then that's just as good. xD

Jain: A person who follows Jainism.

Jainism: an ancient Indian religion.

Jiva: a universal force that's in all living things (according to Jainism).

Abusing Jainism

Kirihara sighed and shook his mop of black curling hair off his face. While sighing was not usually his thing, in this case it was necessary.

"I tell you, ahisma is the way! The only way out is through ahisma!" Marui popped his gum loudly, ignoring the looks of pain from the surrounding people.

"Idiot." Niou snorted, and then rolled his eyes. "Ahisma means nothing. You can still reach enlightenment without practicing ahisma."

"Ahisma isn't a practice!" Marui was shocked. "It's a LIFESTYLE!"

"Yeah, some life style. I'd rather barbeque a three headed chicken with salsa and eat it with a pair of bloody scissors then practice ahisma."

"Well, duh." Now it was Marui's turn to roll his eyes. "If you harm any living thing, you can't be a Jain!"

"Well, I don't want to be a Jain."

"Obviously!"

Before the conversation could harm an Ancient Indian religion further, Kirihara snapped. Loudly. Eyes turning a red that hadn't been seen since the change of his play style, he exploded.

"Ahisma is the belief of non-harm to any living thing because all living things are made up of a universal power called Jiva!" Kirihara screamed. "In fact, many Jains wear masks to prevent the accidental swallowing of bugs - not because they want to sneak around at night!" Here, Kirihara threw a furious look at Marui before continuing. "They sweep the land in front of them so they don't accidentally step on any living thing!" Again, Marui was shot with the Glare of Doom.

While the furious and still red-eyed Kirihara stomped away, Marui and Niou exchanged surprised looks. Who knew Kirihara could be so religious?

This wasn't exactly my best work…but whatever. xD I'm suffering writer's block, but the weird kind: where I can work on new ideas and not improve on the old ones. So yes, my multi-chapter stories will be updated…I just don't know when. xD Anyway, leave a review! It's hard to improve when no one tells you what to improve! (:
