"Hey, fatass, get me the TV remote!"
"Tayuya, women aren't-"
"Shut up and give it to me!"
It was just like any other day in the sound compound. Jirobo had woken up first and had cooked breakfast for himself and his teammates. Everyone had done their normal routines. Sakon slumped on the couch and slept, with his plate untouched in his lap. Kidomaru slowly crunched at the rock-hard bacon while he read the newspaper funnies. Tayuya was whining and cursing about whatever she felt like.
Kidomaru looked up from comics to find Jirobo being bossed around by Tayuya again. Whether it was, "Jirobo! Get me a snack!", or "Jirobo! Clean the TV screen!", she was always picking on the poor porker.
"Tayuya, maybe you need to go easy on the dude. I mean, he does practically serve you. You're always bossing him around."
The girl turned to the spider boy and grumbled, "Do you want to be in his place?"
"Um, no."
"Then shut the hell up, freak!"
Sakon snorted and shot up. He looked around with hazy eyes and moaned about how tired he felt. He saw Tayuya smack Jirobo upside the head and yell something, but he was too sleepy to listen. Instead, he blurted out, "Tayuya, why do you have to be such a bitch all the time? Do you have 24/7 PMS?"
Bad move, Sakon. Very bad.
Kidomaru and Jirobo winced as the girl proceeded to beat the crap out of a helpless Sakon. At first, Jirobo was going to ask Kido if they should help, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
Once Tayuya had left the room, the three boys were able to peacefully finish their food. They ate quietly and looked at one another oddly, as if they were to say or do something to break the silence. Finally, Kidomaru did.
"How much longer are we going to put up with that girl? She's rabid!"
"Ummm…"
The other boys looked at each other and then back at the spider boy. He stood with one foot placed on the table and a fist in the air. After a little while, Sakon put his fist in the air too, and Jirobo did the same shortly afterward.
"She bosses me around and calls me fat!"
"She thinks lipstick is just for women!"
"It is, Sakon."
"Shut up."
Kidomaru now stood on the table with his hands on his hips. He then pointed a finger at the other two dramatically and shouted, "So what are we going to do?"
"Revenge!"
"Precisely!"
Jirobo twiddled his fingers and looked down.
"But I'm not good at being mean…"
The other too looked at each other and then back at Jirobo. Sakon took a can of ink and dipped a finger in it. He wiped small lines under Jirobo's eyes and said, "Now growl!"
"Grr!"
"Good! Now look tough! Flex those muscles!"
"GRR!"
"Gosh, Jirobo, you're scary if you try."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Now, what's our first move?"
Kidomaru smiled sinisterly and glanced at his teammates. They could tell that he was up to something.
Tayuya grumbled and threw her bed sheets into a sloppy pile. She rushed to pick clothes off of the floor and accidentally bumped into a dresser, spilling its contents on her head.
"Gah!"
Tayuya kicked the objects aside and punched the dresser, which made her knuckles bleed.
"Stupid piece of shit!"
She kicked over the dresser and ignored the sound of breaking belongings. She took a shirt off of the floor and picked up a crumpled pair of pants and some old socks. She looked around for undergarments and growled when she remembered that they were in the dresser.
Tayuya ran to the dresser and yanked open a drawer. She cursed and checked another one, from which she took out what she needed. She undressed and redressed furiously; accidentally putting her shirt on backwards and putting one of her socks on backwards. She brushed her hair and winced when the brush went through a tight knot. A few of her thin, red hairs had torn off and lay on the brush.
"Crap!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. Tayuya picked up a toothbrush and brushed her teeth roughly and carelessly. She cursed again when she noticed that she had brushed too hard, which made her gums bleed. She was a mess. Her room was a mess. Her life was a mess!
"Argh! This sucks!"
The girl slammed the toothbrush down on the bathroom counter and stormed out. She went back to her room and leapt onto her spring-ridden bed. That's when she noticed that something was wrong. More wrong than usual, anyway.
The boys were playing poker in the living room. Sakon smirked and showed his hand.
"Full house, I win."
The other two groaned and forked over the chips. Sakon grinned widely and gave the deck to Jirobo to shuffle. Their game was interrupted, however, by a very mad Tayuya. Heck, a FURIOUS Tayuya.
"Where the hell is he?!"
The boys glanced at each other and shrugged.
"Who?"
Tayuya stomped up to them and flipped their playing table over.
"You know who!"
"We do?"
"Damn right you do! Now where is he?"
Kidomaru scratched his chin and smiled in a rather suspicious manner…
"Oh, you mean your teddy bear? The one that you got from your cancer-diagnosed grandmother when you were three?"
"Yes! Now where is Mr. Fuzzypoo?"
The boys snickered at the name. For a person like Tayuya, a teddy bear name like that never got old.
Sakon smiled evilly and replied, "Oh, I think I saw him in the kitchen. You better check there."
"Yeah, okay. Whatever, thanks."
Tayuya stomped into the kitchen, leaving the boys to clean up what remained of their game.
Then, it hit them. The three turned to look at each other and simultaneously shouted, "Did she just say 'thanks'?!"
Tayuya entered the kitchen and looked around. When she saw the bear, she got a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"Mr. Fuzzypoo" lay in the center of the dining table with his head severed and laying a foot from his body. A trail of what looked like ketchup connected the two pieces, and fluff lay every where. An index card sat next to the head along with a dead rat. It read:
Haha! This is what you get for the years of torment!
Tayuya dropped the index card and creaked her head towards the living room. They weren't going to get away with destroying her most prized possession.
The boys stopped staring at each other and turned to face a fuming Tayuya. She stomped towards the nearest one, who was Jirobo.
"You think that you're so funny, hunh, fatass? I'll punch those teeth right outta your mouth!"
The girl brought her fist back and swung it as hard as she could. It connected with Jirobo's hand, which caught it. She ran towards him, but he held her back with his pinky to her forehead.
"Sigh…wow, Tayuya, you've gotten weak."
She stopped trying to kill him and sniffled. She smacked his arm away and shouted, "You jerks!"
The boys watched as she stormed into her room. It was the most upset she'd ever been.
Tayuya slammed the door and lunged onto her bed. She had to find a way to get revenge, but how? She couldn't try to beat them all up at the same time. For once in her life, she felt inferior. She didn't know how long she sat there, but it must have been a long time, because she heard Jirobo shouting that it was time for dinner.
Tayuya grumbled and walked towards the kitchen and sat down. The boys chomped away at their lumps of pork. She poked the cold slab with her fork and watched it jiggle. Her face twisted up as she grabbed the pile of meat and shoved a chunk in her mouth. She completely ignored her fork and knife.
Once again, she noticed that something was wrong. The meat was crunchy. Much crunchier than usual, anyway. Tayuya picked up her pork and inspected it. She gasped when she noticed small spiders crawling around inside. She suddenly felt something twitch and start to move in her mouth, and her stomach twisted up.
The boys could hold their laughter in no longer. They pointed at her and laughed hysterically. Their happy faces quickly turned into disgusted faces when Tayuya began to throw up. Kidomaru let out another snicker, and soon the boys were laughing again.
Tayuya groaned and wiped vomit from her mouth with her arm. She cursed when she saw that she had ruined her clothes. She closed her eyes and tried not to freak out. Knowing Tayuya, that didn't work.
The boys continued to laugh uncontrollably. Jirobo opened his eyes and suddenly stopped altogether. He nudged the other two who asked, "What?"
Whimpering, the boy pointed at Tayuya and muttered, "I think we should run."
