Ohaithere. Sorry I was gone so long; I had temporarily lost my fanfic groove there. Plus, my computer got a virus, so then I lost all of the fics I was working on because the CD I transfered them to was corrupt. *sigh*

Anyway. Here's another chapter. Remember, I'm always taking prompts and ideas because I need them. I might not use them right away, but I will use them.

Thanks to all my reviewers so far; I hope to keep them coming!


A shriek reverberated through the warehouse. Both Shinji and Love glanced up from the manga they were reading, and Rose looked up from his guitar with a sigh.

"What the hell was that?"

Suddenly Mashiro burst out of one of the doors. "Kenseeeeiii!" she shouted. "Kensei! Where's Kensei?"

"He's out, Mashiro," Love said calmly. "What do you need?"

Her eyes filled with water. "There's a… a…" her lips trembled, restricting her words to mere mumbles.

"A what?"

The green-haired vizard burst into tears. Love brought is palm to his forehead, and Shinji and Rose sighed in exasperation behind him.

"Help her, O faithful leader," Rose said with a small smirk on his face, looking at Shinji. The so-called leader's eyes widened, pointing questioningly at himself. Rose responded by shoving him towards Mashiro.

Shinji stumbled, catching himself, and then walked over to Mashiro.

"Mashiro," he tried to say in his nicest voice possible, minus his eerie grin. "Ya gotta tell us what's wrong."

Mashiro sniffed. "There's… a big spider in my room," she demonstrated with her arms, stretching them as far as humanly possible (and perhaps a little farther) "and I was hoping Kensei could kill it for me!"

Shinji blinked. "A spider, eh? Why can't ya kill it yourself?"

Her distraught eyes watered again. "I can't."

The blonde vizard sighed again, rubbing his eyes. "Love, go kill the frickin' spider."

"Me? Why do I have to do it?"

"Because you're the tallest," Shinji replied in a strained voice.

"No I'm not! Hacchi is!" Love argued, setting his magazine aside with an irritated grunt.

"Well, Hacchi isn't here right now, is he?"

Love rolled his eyes. "Alright Mashiro. Show me where the spider is."

"Yay!"
