Oni and Kari slipped inside the inn, wet and dripping extremely. Stopping at a town Oni had not been quite yet, and was allowed to actually enter, they planned to stay overnight to let the storm pass that had come from the east. Alas, it had been the third inn in the city they had been to, others had developed the very same idea and most of the inns were stocked full of travelers. Walking to the front desk, the receptionist greeted kindly: "Hello, welcome to the Fernsid Inn, how may I help you?"

"Do you have... you know, any available rooms?" Oni took off his hat and twisted it, the water falling into a bucket that the innkeeper had actually put out for that very reason.

"Ah... We have one single room, and a couple's suite."

"We'll take the couple's/Single." Oni and Kari spoke at the same time. (Oni said couple's while Kari said single.) While Oni repeated his choice, Kari glared at him.

"Alright, enjoy your stay. Here's your key... Please don't get too wild." The receptionist smiled and Kari blushed a deep red, paralyzed, while Oni grinned.

"Why, thanks, and we won't be a burden, come on hun," Oni wrapped an arm around Kari- who was still partially stunned- and led her off to the correct floor, opened the door, and they walked inside. Finally, Kari snapped out of it. Only one bed. Her eye twitched unhappily.

"You're sleeping on the couch," Kari strode forward, sitting down on the bed.

"What? Afraid we'll get wild sweetie?" Oni teased and Kari's eyes flickered angrily. "You're so serious, Kari, have a little fun in your life." He shook his head and set his silver windsock hat on a nearby dresser. "Anyway... I don't know about you, but I'm going to take a nice hot bath and warm up."

"I thought you can't feel temperature...?"

"Pretty much, but I still love taking a bath after being in the rain, it is relaxing nonetheless," He beamed before going to the bathroom and starting to get undressed.

"C-Close the door you idiot!" Kari dashed over and slammed the door shut, and then went back to sitting on the bed. "He has no respect or thoughts whatsoever... Who the heck gave him this personality?"

"The giant from the Termina Bay Area. He's a cool dude." A voice responded from the bathroom and Kari smacked her forehead. Don't speak aloud. She thought silently. Laying back, with her head on a soft feathery pillow, Kari relaxed. Time passing quickly as she dozed off, Kari jerked awake feeling a hand touch her forehead.

"Ah! Don't do that!" She scolded Oni as she worked on recovering her breath.

"Sorry, but I couldn't keep my hands off ya," Oni paraded that smile, which she actually hadn't seen in awhile. "Actually, I'm headin' down to the bar... Why don't you get yourself some dinner, and then chill or something... I figure we might as well enjoy our time here." He held out some money which she took, but with some hesitation. "Anyway," Oni rubbed a towel around his head once more before throwing it into a dirty laundry basket, "see ya later."

"Right... Don't get drunk!" The door shut and she folded her arms. "I'm guessing he's probably going to eat down there, too... Oh well, I get some privacy at least..."

AFTER KARI ATE

"... That idiot," Kari stopped in front of the door. "There's only one key... I have to go get it... Argh..." Sighing intensely as she sauntered down the stairs and into the crazy bar. Instantly, she was engulfed by loud music, drunken laughter, and terrible singing. "Oni... Why did you have to come here?" She squinted, straining her vision to finally see the exotic platinum hair man sitting at the counter. "Oni, hey, Oni!"

"Wha...?" When he looked over at her, his face was covered a deep red and she sighed. Great... he's drunk...

"I need the key. KEY. Golden object, slightly rusted... The key!"

"Huh? Hey! Man! One beer for my girl!" Oni raised a finger and the man at the counter laughed. Kari dipped her head, trying not to smack him upside his head. "Wha do ya wan' girl?"

"I need the key. The key to our room..."

"Oh! The kay! Hold on..." He started patting his pockets.

"Geez..." She sighed and suddenly froze as a hand grabbed her butt. "EK! She jumped away, flying to Oni's other side. "You pervert!" Oni's eyes flickered and his fist soared through the air, punching the man to the point where he flew to the other side of the room.

"Anee-one else touch my girl and they'll get the tiger!" He made a funny pose and Kari began pushing him out the room.

"No more beer for you, you drunkie," She sighed yet again, and finally got him into the room, before locking it. "No more going out tonight, we're just going to chill her-"

"I am the durncing king! Young and sweet! Only a thousand and three!" Oni danced on the bed, swirling around.

"You are old," She shook her head in disbelief. "Oni, calm do-"

"I'm havin' the time of my life OOoooo see that boy! Watch that scene! Diggin' the durncing king!" Oni fell flat on his back before sitting up. "You kno' I see us getting' married, and driving off into the sunset with twenty horses cuz' we have ninety-six kids!"

"You're adopting."

"Does that mearn yes?" Oni stuck out his tongue.

"NO! That doesn't mean yes! O-Oni! Keep you clothes on!"

"It's gettin' hot in here! So take off all your clothes!" Oni threw off his shirt. Note to self: Don't let Oni drink. And carry rope on you more often... She stared at him blankly.

"Keep your pants on, idiot!" She pushed him off the bed and sat on him. (Disabling his movement.) "Someone is a little too crazy and will wake-up tomorrow with a major headache. Until then, you need to chill out 'Mr. Durncing King."

"..." He frowned for a split second. "You're puurrrty."

"..." Don't punch him. Don't kill him...! Just a joke! "Screw this! You're dead! GET BACK HERE!" Kari grabbed a vase and began chasing the 'durncing king' with it.

NIEGHBORS

Thump! Bam! Slam! Loud thumps on the wall made an elderly married couple glance at each other.

"Young folks these days. Crazy things. They must be newlyweds."

BACK TO ONI AND KARI

"There! Now go to sleep!" Kari pushed a tied up Oni onto the couch before stomping her feet on the floor as she climbed into bed, twitching angrily. It was finally silent though...

"I'm a little tea pot, short and stout... Here is my handle, here is my spout." (Kari: -head/pillow-)

...

...

...

(next day)

"AHHHHHHHHH!!" Slap!

"OW!"

"You pervert!" Kari yelled as she kicked Oni off the bed. "How the heck did you get untied!?"

"You tied me up...? And why were we both in that bed together?" Oni rubbed his head. "What DID we DO last night?"

"AHHH! Not that!"

"Quiet down... I have a headache..."

Author Notes: This chapter is meant to be funny... Did it work? (Cuz I'm a little tea pot...) Anyway, get ready for serious chapter, because I need to advance in the plot. Alas, I'll keep it as funny as I can... By the way- IMPORTANT- there will be two "books" to this series. So when this one ends... There WILL be a sequel! :D
