FF: eh, CrazyCatGirl is busy right now so I'm all alone right now. *sobs* I'M FINE!

FF: Anyways, enjoy ze chapter, the italics are a flashback to show ya what happened before and add unneeded drama! oooh! XD

Hal cried out, "Wait! Arakuta stop!"

Her jaws closed on the rodent-like lantern's throat.

Hal, Razer, and Kilowag froze.

Had she just killed a Red Lantern?

Arakuta lifted her head, blood dripping from her mouth, soaking her fur. She shook her head, spattering blood droplets on the asteroid the lantern was on.

She licked her lips. "Ew. Definitely NOT hunting prey." She released the red lantern and stalked off on all fours before flying off to the interceptor.

Acaruta looked up from the leg of the lantern, but now she stopped gnawing on it, seeing that her sister had declared it unfit to hunt. Or in Acaruta's case, unfit to munch. So she left the limp body of the creature and followed her sister.

Hal stopped Arakuta from going into the ship. "Did you just KILL that lantern?"

"No." She grinned, revealing her blood stained teeth. "It is merely unconscious from pain and fear. It happens muchly to our prey."

Acaruta, floating upside down above Razer, (why she chose that place, no one knew,) licked her paw and piped in cheerily, "Our saliva does have muchly to do with da sleepings of ze prey!"

Razer looked up at her curiously. "Care to explain?"

Acaruta shrugged. "Arakuta does ze explah-nay-shons muchly much bettah than me."

Razer looked a bit irritated with how she didn't answer directly but turned to her sister nonetheless.

Arakuta smiled again. "Our saliva contains a sort of anesthetic that renders our opponent, or whomever we bite, unconscious and prone to attack." She explained.

Kilowag glared suspiciously at her. "Then why didn't the bat lantern go unconscious?"

Acaruta suddenly raised her hand, nearly hitting Razer, "OOOH! OOH! I know! I KNOW! ME! ME!"

Smothering a few chuckles, Hal pointed at her.

"Tank ye," Acaruta said comically, "We Tayshus can choose whetha to genaratah the anesthetic thingly thing." She smiled loopily at them from her upside down post. "I LIKE being upside down," She randomly informed them.

Arakuta nodded her head. "Yes, Acaruta, we can see that," She said slowly and cheerfully, as if speaking to a small child, or in this case, a hyper, psychotic Tayshu. "Oh look! It's awake! It's ALIIIIIVE!"

She pointed to where the red lantern was indeed waking up and looking around. When it spotted them it let out a shriek at such a high decibel they couldn't even hear it. Before anyone could do anything, it flew away (weird that a rat could fly, eh?) screaming the whole way.

"Oh, there he goes," Acaruta sighed. "BYE BYE!" she then screamed hysterically before lowering to a whisper, saying, "But you can nevah truly escape me! MUAHAHHAHAHA!"

Everyone stared at her and she smiled and said, "Hhwaaaaat? He will be havings ze night of mares."

Razer and Kilowag looked confused, so Hal explained, "She means he's gonna have nightmares of her." They nodded, still looking a bit confused but less so.

An awkward silence fell.

It was broken only by Acaruta floating upside-down, going sideways in front of everybody singing, "Awwwwwwwwwwwkwarrrrrrrrrrrd..." and then jumping onto an asteroid and seeming to attempt to do an Irish tap dance.

"WHHEEEHEEHEEHEEE! WHEEHEEHEE! WHEEEEEEE-"

"PLEASE STOP!" Everyone yelled.

"..."

A relieved silence.

"-EEEHEEHEEHEEEE! WHEEEHEEHE- I'm done." Acaruta then flopped onto the asteroid and fell asleep remarkably fast.

"Well, guess it's time to go to bed." Arakuta chirped happily, attempting to break the chilly atmosphere. She flew over to her sister's sleeping form, grabbed a leg, and waved. "Toodle-pip!" and she was off to the ship, pulling her sister behind her.

"Does anyone know what just happened?"

"No."

"Not a clue."

FF: I just love awkward silences when it isn't me. X3 UGH, I'm sooooo tired and school starts really soon! UGH!

Arakuta: Why do you complain so much?

FF: I'm not complaining. I'm stating the facts. Complaining is when you state the facts too much. XD OOH! I'm gonna put that on my profileas my quote! WHY? CAUSE I WANT TO! I LOVE THE CAPS BUTTON!

FF: wow i'm really random right now.
