"Alrighty folks," Lord Death said, "There's a troublesome witch in the Rockies eating souls in nearby towns. Her name is Terra."

"Pfft! Lame!" the Twins said.

"And highly unoriginal," Iyame said.

"Hush," Maka scolded.

"Anyway," Lord Death continued. "She has the power to move the earth at will, as well as other powers we have yet to discover. Miku, Ryoku, Iyame, we feel your abilities and unorthodox talents will aid in her defeat. Be careful and good luck." He said this with a bounce and a wave.

After the whole fiasco with the Trash Balloon, Black*Star eventually came out okay. Then, after another chase scene, some classic Tom and Jerry happenings, and a gift from the Twins to Black*Star consisting of a shaving cream pie to the face, they became friends. After that, the four groups of weapon/meister partners became inseparable.

Now, there's trouble afoot, and Maka, Soul, Iyame, Miku, and Ryoku must defeat the evil and save the Digital World! Well, not really, but still…. IT SOUNDS COOL! (And highly unoriginal.)

While waking out of the Death Room, Maka asked, "So, where do you want to meet up? We leave tomorrow."

"How about we meet at the entrance on the top of the stairs?" Iyame said.

"NOOOOO! THE STAIRS OF EVIL!" The boys moaned.

"Okay, fine. We'll meet at the BOTTOM of the stairs." Iyame said. "Babies," she muttered.

The twins harrumphed.

"Well, harrumph away, whiners!" Iyame said.

"We will!"

"Whatever. See you later Maka and Soul!"

"Bye guys," Maka said.

"Smell you later," Soul said.

"You know you can't resist the power of Smelly," the Twins said, each with a pointy finger of…. Pointy? Yeah… let's go with that…

Iyame grabbed the fingers and pulled them away. "Come on, you guys. Let's go home."

"O-tay!"

~At the home of the Twins and their Master~

LotsOfChocolate- It's meister, not master!

Emma-Kate- Meister means master in German!

Iyame- See! I am the Master Commander!

Miku- But you're the weapon..

Iyame- Shut up, it's a Monday.

Ryoku- She does technically own us, you know?

Iyame- Damn straight, I do!

Miku- *nods head in agreement* Meh…

Anyways…

"Iyame, what's for dinner?" asked Miku. He was currently lying upside down on the left hand side of the sofa. Iyame had her nose stuck in a book (not literally, though that has been a previous prank the twins had pulled). She was sitting crisscross applesauce with her glasses on that magnified her lavender eyes. She had on a baggy t-shirt and sweats and her hair was pulled back in a loose braid.

Iyame slowly looked up at the Twins as she moved a loose strand of hair from her face and closed the book. She glanced up at the clock.

"Shit!" she yelled as she slammed the book down and jumped up from her perch on the couch and almost tripped over her fluffy bunny slippers the Twins had gotten her for her birthday last year, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You must be starving, Miku! Ryoku, you should have reminded me!" She ran for the spiral staircase that led down from her library/study to the second floor of her house.

"Because you were in one of your moods with your selective hearing and all!" Ryoku called after her as Miku snickered and they both jumped over the railing of the stairs and gracefully landed nimbly on their feet.

Iyame huffed as she had just reached the bottom of the steps, AFTER them, and gave them a sour look, "Show-offs."

Ryoku and Miku grinned and followed Iyame to the kitchen. They sat on their bar stools as they watched her cook. This was one of their favorite places. Iyame was an amazing cook and she made everything from scratch. She was currently making an easy dish: pasta with meat sauce, but it was still interesting to watch with her bustling about, completely fixated on the task at hand.

"Bonappetit!" Iyame said as she set the food on the table, complete with Welcher's cranberry-grape juice. They sat down and ate to their heart's content.

BEELLLLCHH!

Iyame and Ryoku rolled on the floor laughing as Miku blushed slightly and laughed as the belch echoed throughout the previously silent house. Normally, Iyame would complement Miku saying, "Good one," while Ryoku high-fived Miku, but in this situation, the house had been so silent, one could hear a pen drop. No one said or did anything to make noise; they just lay there silently in the den. That is, until Miku let out a belch that echoed through the three story house.

After they had calmed down, Iyame stood up, "Alright then, we have a big day tomorrow. We should probably get to—hiccup!"

Miku and Ryoku glanced at each other and turned to Iyame with mischievous grins.

"Yes, Iyame?" said Miku.

"Spit it out. Really, Iyame, there's no need to be shy," Ryoku urged.

Iyame's face flushed and she gave the Twins her famous death glare, "I—hiccup—am. I was trying—hiccup—to say—hiccup—"

"It isn't like you to stutter. Come, now, it's getting late," Miku said in a concerned voice.

"That's what I—hiccup—was trying—hiccup—to say! We should—hiccup—"

"What's wrong, Iyame?" Ryoku asked.

"Cat got your tongue?" the Twins asked in unison. It was just enough to push Iyame over the edge.

"Wait until—hiccup—I get a hold of you two. I'm gonna—hiccup—have you—begging for mercy—hiccup—"

"Oh, I'm scared."

"Me, too, Ryoku. Let's get out of here."

The Twins ran around the house trying to avoid Iyame who was yelling obscenities while hiccupping. They were holding their sides and laughing hysterically when she caught up to them. Iyame's eyes were silver as she looked upon the rats she had cornered. She panted as she slowly approached them.

"Sorry, Iyame," said Miku innocently.

"Yeah, we were just having fun. It's not like we could resist," continued Ryoku as he wiped a tear from his eye.

The silver in Iyame's eyes faded back to their normal violet, "You're lucky I love you two like brothers."

The Dynamic Duo smiled, "Hey it worked," Miku sounded accomplished.

Iyame gave him a confused look, "What worked?"

Ryoku answered, "Your hiccups."

"They're gone," Miku finished.

"Wait," said Iyame, "You planned that?"

"Kinda," said the Twins, "but we did you a favor, Iyame."

Iyame sighed, "You have a point there. C'mon. Let's get to bed."

When the Twins were in their bedroom and in their bunk beds, Iyame was right outside listening to what they thought about their new school.

"Do you think she's right outside?" asked Miku.

"Nope. She did say it was getting—hiccup," started Ryoku.

"Getting?" Miku asked. One could hear the smile in his voice.

"Miku, it's not—hiccup—funny," Ryoku snapped.

"Maybe to you," said Miku, "but I guess that's what you—hiccup—uh-oh."

The Twins laughed at each other hiccupping as Iyame smirked and walked towards her room, glad to finally get to sleep on her big King-size bed. It would be a long day tomorrow…
