Me: HAPPY BELATED EASTER!! WOOT!! Sorry I didn't write this yesterday…went to a party, got home late, passed out on the basement floor while watching the Sound of Music….yeah…..

Shadow: Easter? WHERE'S THE CHOCOCLATE?! (eyes Kabuto) He's got it, doesn't he? DOESN'T HE?!

Kabuto: What in blazes are you talking about? My pockets are empty!

Shadow: On the ground.

Kabuto:…..Wha-

Shadow: ON THE GROUND!! (pulls out gun)

Kabuto: AHH!! (gets on ground)

Me: Shadow, STOP IT! (bitch slaps)

Shadow:……….

Me:……..

Orochimaru: I'm just gonna cut to the chapter now……before something- (gunshot is heard)

Me: (ducks and covers head in fear) Ahhh! I'm sorry! (bullet misses and goes flying over head)

Shadow: Fuck! I missed!

Me: Uh………SAVE ME!! (cowers behind Orochimaru)

Orochimaru: Let's just get on with this……

DRABBLE SEVEN: Happy Frickin' Easter…..

Anna woke up groggily from a deep eight hour slumber on the living room couch. She sat up and rubbed her tired eyes. "Mmmrrrggghhhh……." she mumbled sleepily. "MRRGHHHHHHH….." she uttered in a more cranky tone as her eyes met with the flashing, bright light of the TV screen. The girl shielded her eyes with her arm, blocking out the painful light. "Dammit……who left the TV on all night?" Her words were slurred together and couldn't be really understood. Not that there was anyone awake that would even hear them, anyway.

Shaking her head so that her white hair would get out of her face, she shifted position on the couch to get more comfortable. The girl attempted to lie her whole body on the couch, but there was a human sized lump covered by a huge blue blanket in the way. " Hey…get off…" she commanded, insolently kicking the poor lump off the comfy couch and onto the floor with a dull thud.

" Oww! Damn you, Shadow!" the voice cried out from the floor. It was muffled from the blanket enshrouding the mouth, but the voice sounded male.

Anna was now instantly alert and awake at hearing the voice of one of her good friends. " Kabuto? Is that YOU?" she peered from over her spot on the couch.

" Yes. Care to explain why you kicked me off the couch?" Struggling with the blanket wrapped around his whole body, it took a few moments before the wool fabric was completely off Kabuto and now a pile on the floor. He got up, holding his head in distress. " I….hit my head on the coffee table, too…."

" Oh, I'm SO sorry!" Anna sprang off the couch and wrapped her arms around Kabuto's waist in a hug. " Please forgive me," she pleaded. Kabuto melted like butter at hearing the guilty tone of Anna's voice and wide eyes peering shyly up at him. Letting the grudge go, he hugged her back affectionately.

" It's alright, don't worry about it. Just….look next time to see who you're kicking off the couch," he joked while bending down for the blanket on the ground to wrap them both in. The two sat back down and cuddled. There was now silence except for the sounds of the TV still playing, though Kabuto and Anna weren't giving their full attention.

" I think we….fell asleep last night. Watching….what, exactly?" Kabuto asked. He scratched his head in confusion.

Anna laughed. " I forgot, exactly. I think there was nothing on, so we just watched infomercials." All fell silent again. The two continued to stare at the TV, which was airing a special Easter commercial.

" Oh, geez! Happy Easter!" Anna exclaimed. She totally forgot that today was a holiday. Good thing the commercial aired.

" Same here," Kabuto replied back. " I forgot that today was Easter. We should make a special dinner or something."

" Good idea, Harry!" Anna piped, giggling at her nickname for Kabuto, who only sighed. "Let's get started on that now!" She got up off the couch (to Kabuto's disappointment. He didn't mean right at that very second….), and went to turn on the lamp on the far side of the room. "Man, it's dark in here. We need some- ah!" A loud crash of Anna falling unexpectedly to the floor echoed throughout the whole house.

Kabuto sprung off the couch in worry and went to the fallen Anna's side. He bent down and took her arm. " Are you alright?" he asked.

" I'm fine," she giggled. " A bit shaken, but fine." she gave Kabuto a reassuring smile. Then her expression turned serious. " What was that I tripped on?" They looked down at the floor to find a cord or something that you'd normally trip on, but all they found was-

" What's this?" Anna leaned forward and picked up a brightly painted yellow Easter egg. " How-how did this get here?" she gave it to Kabuto for investigation.

He twirled it around in his hand. " No idea."

A sound of shuffling footsteps made Kabuto and Anna look towards the hallway leading to the living room. Orochimaru stood in the archway, a deep frown on his face. He looked non- threatening and out of character clad in pink pajamas and matching fuzzy pink slippers, which made Kabuto and Anna snicker. Anna wished she had her camera phone with her.

The snake lord ignored them and a yawn escaped from his lips. He then frowned, irritated. " What's going on? I heard a thud. Were you two….doing something you shouldn't?" It was his turn to laugh, making the two blush red with either fury or humiliation. Probably both.

" We weren't DOING anything," Anna retorted. " I just tripped over this." She took the Easter egg out of Kabuto's hand and waved it in Orochimaru's face, hoping to irritate him more. He just snatched it out of her hand and inspected it himself.

" …….Why is it ticking?" he then asked after a little while.

"…….What?" Kabuto and Anna said in unison. Ticking? Easter eggs don't tick.

" Why. Is. It. Ticking?" Orochimaru snapped. He shoved back in Anna's hands. Out of instinct, she looked over the egg again, Orochimaru and Kabuto peering curiously over her shoulder.

To find a small, barely noticeable timer for a bomb inside.

" BOMB!!" Anna shrieked. " IT'S GONNA SELF -DESTURCT IN 30 SECONDS!!" The panicked girl still held the Easter egg bomb in her hands, blinded by surprise she didn't know what to do. "Uh….uh…."

So unexpectedly she tossed the egg bomb at Orochimaru, who for some reason caught it. He shuddered.

" WHAT?! I certainly don't want it!" he threw it at Kabuto, who caught it as well.

" Hey! Don't give it to me!" he threw it at Anna, who let out a high pitched scream. Anna threw it at Orochimaru again.

A 'game' similar to Hot Potato then formed. Though, unlike the original version, you could die if you were the unfortunate person that held the egg bomb when the time ran out. The bomb throwing went on for some time.

Orochimaru threw it at Kabuto.

Kabuto threw it at Anna.

Anna threw it at Orochimaru.

Ten seconds were left on the clock.

" ENOUGH OF THIS!" bellowed Orochimaru. " What the HELL are we going to do with a bomb?!"

As soon as he said this, Anna had a sudden idea that hit her out of the blue. She reached into Kabuto's belt and pulled out a kunai. Throwing up the Easter egg bomb, she expertly threw the kunai as well. The knife sharply went through the bomb, causing an explosion in the air. The three quickly got down on the ground, small sparks showering them all. A thin cloud of smoke escaped the egg bomb and polluted the air in the room.

Knowing the explosion had passed, the three got up and swatted the air with their hands, trying to clear the smoke.

"That was some quick thinking, Anna," Orochimaru said. He flashed a grin at her. His tongue flickered out of his mouth.

Anna blushed and rubbed her neck in a nervous reaction. " Thanks. Ideas like that just hit me randomly." she explained in a weak laugh. It was weird having the strict, evil Orochimaru commenting positively on her. ANYONE, for that matter.

Kabuto was the only one not smiling. " Now, where did that bomb come from?" he asked sarcastically. Having that thought said, Orochimaru and Anna rolled their eyes. Of course it was Shadow.

Speaking of the devil, Shadow popped into the room. " Hello, everyone! Happy Easter!"

The three others weren't amused.

" Happy Easter to you, too." Kabuto grumbled. " Have any OTHER bombs lying around?" he asked sarcastically.

Shadow grinned. " Acutally, yes. Look around!"

The whole room was littered with colorful, harmless looking Easter 'eggs'.

Orochimaru: (scowling) Great. We have to redo the WHOLE living room now.

Me: Yeah. Everything's burned! THANKS, Shadow. (glares)

Shadow: Lighten up, guys! It's not like I bombed the WHOLE house.

Kabuto: And we're SURPRISED.

Shadow: Yeah….you SHOULD be….your room will be next.

Kabuto:………

Me: Heh…..Happy Belated Easter, everyone. REVIEW!!
