They reached a room. Youko both pushed them into the room. Stepped inside and locked the door.

"...Would any chance of clawing at the walls help?"Youko gave Reneey a death glare.

"Right, I'll just shut up."

"Nothing short of an urgent event will help us." Vanessa whispered.

Boom Boom Shake now drop

"What is that?" Youko asked.

"Uh...totally not my cell..."Reneey eyes went back and forth.

Vanessa twitched.'Sure it isn't,' Vanessa thought.

Reneey then turned on her cell on silent.

Let freedom ring, let the white doves sing.

"Now what's that?"

"I got a text message, not my fault I have service here!" In response, Vanessa twitched.

Before she could turn it off, Youko just sliced it in half with his rose-whip.

"You will not eat for two days. You will clean up the mess you do made. You will not leave this rom unless I say so, got that?"Vanessa nodded in silent resentment.

Reneey open her mouth to argue, but Vanessa quickly shut her mouth.

"Good, now be lucky I didn't whip you." Youko then left, locking the door behind him.

"Now what?" Vanessa asked.

"Guess we stay here?" Reneey blinked. Vanessa sighed.

"Guess so, but still. It's boring here." Vanessa said.

"It is punishment, he wants us to suffer and he knows that teenagers dispite boredom.

"How does he know?"

"He's Youko Kurama."

"...that was accurate..."

"Yeah," Reneey sighed as she touched her cheek, "Fuck, does this hurt..."

"Of course. I can even feel it now." Vanessa remarked.

"So what do you wanna do to pass the time?"

"I don't know, anything as long as it not too extreme."

"Uhh...wanna play miss-mary-mack?" Reneey suggested.

"How do you play it?" Vanessa asked interested.

"Like I clap with my left, and you clap with your right, then my left then your right, ten we clap with both hands, then our lap and the song goes like, Miss-Mary-Mack all dress in black, with silver buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, she went to her mother, mother, for fifty cents, fifty cents, to go to the zoo, to see the elephants, elephants, jump over the fence, fence. I learned it in first grade...it sucks...but hey..."

"True, so then okay." Vanessa replied, still slightly dizzy from the long explaination.

Suddenly the door was open.

"Or not," Reneey whispered as Vanessa made a face.There stood Youko,

"We are leaving for a raid. Don't you dare leave this hide-out. When we get back, I expect everything to be clean. You have two hours."

"Have you seen how Reneey clean?" Vanessa mutter softly.

CRACK

A whip hit Vanessa on the left rib, and with that Youko left.

"Ouch, that looks like that hurt." Reneey said. Vanessa glared at the direction Youko left in.

"Of course it hurt!" she snapped. She turn her head toward Reneey. "hey What you say, we clean the house then raid Youko's room?" she asked.

"Yeah sure, but where the hell is it?"

"We just look for it. It called exploring; we also might find Yomi's room to trashed." Vanessa added.

"Sure," Reneey got up and they both enter the messy room. "So...how do you like...clean? I mean it can't be that hard?" Reneey picked up a broom that was lying around, and as she try to sweep the floor, she broke the handle."...Opps"

Vanessa nearly cried in furstration."I try to warn him, but does he listen to me? This hideout is going to be in shambles! Only you, Reneey. Only you will break a broom while sweeping." Vanessa said, grabbing another broom and started sweeping.

"Fine then, I'll start with the cooking!" Reneey hmped as she walked to the kitchen, which Vanessa just stare with wide eyes before her words sunk in

."OH HELL NO! I'M NOT INTEREST IN EXPLAINING HOW THE HELL DID YOU MANAGED TO BLOW UP THE KITCHEN AGAIN! TO YOUKO OF ALL PEOPLE!" Vanessa shouted hysterically. "You clean!! I cook!! Understand! I want you to not getting yourself killed. We have lot of work to do to prevent certain event from happening. So go clean." Vanessa shouted, rushing to Reneey and try to drag her out of the kitchen

. "Alright, alright!" Reneey snapped as she was dragged out of the kitchen."Um Vanessa?"

"What?!"

"How do you use this thing?"

"...That's a paper towel"

"I repeat, how do you use it?"

"You use it to dry things, or wet it then use it to pick up dirt or baby powder. And Reneey, do you have any phone service? I want to look up recipes, or phones."

"Yeah, here ya go." Reneey gave Vanessa her cel phone. "But how do you dry things with it? Like just wave it in the air?"

"...No, just wipe it against the surface."

"What surface?"

"The surface of the stuff you're suppose to be cleaning on."

"...That would be...?"

"The dishes, the floor, the counter, the tv, almost anything that's dirty and solid."

"Okay...even me?"

"No, you take a bath. Ugh, let me show you!" Vanessa said grabbing the paper towel and did a demostration.

"Ooh so you can do that while I...spray things with this deadly toxic sprayer!" Reneey squealed.

Vanessa sighed."Don't aim it at me, and I'll leave you to clean up, what do you want to eat?" Vanessa asked tiredly.

"Lasagna!"

"Fine, I'll look up the recipe for it. Now get to work!"

"I have to work?!"

"Goddammit! Of course Reneey! I'm not going to do everything for you! I'll be have my breakdown five years earlier than what I calculated from spending time with you!" "You want that Lasagna or not" Vanessa snapped.

"Fine, DON'T YELL AT ME AT ME! I'M ONLY 14!" Reneey had anime tears.

"Oh that right, my b-day already passed, so that make me 15, but I have every right to YELL at you! I have a headache." Vanessa snapped, still can't believe she forgot her b-day.

"SO? TEENAGER ABUSER!"

"Just get to work." Sighed Vanessa.

Why?!"

"Two words: Youko's wrath."

"Gotcha." Reneey said as she picked up a mop and started mopping.

SNAP!

"Not my fault!"

"Why me? What had I done to deserve an evil little teenager, Reneey?" Vanessa moaned, wishing there was a wall she can bang her head against.

"Uhh...termites! Yeah, that's it!"

"...CHOP...there goes the onion..."
