Notes: UGH! Writers block! I'm not extremely happy with this chapter, but, well, here it is. Hope you enjoy it a bit at least. Notes to reviewers at bottom.
I crawled out of bed the first day of my confinement.
I had to make all the food in the refrigerator last the entire week.
I opened the door and stared at it's contents.
It was obvious I was going to die.
My phone rang and I groggily picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Yako-chan!"
"Yeah."
"...What do you mean 'Yeah?" It's Kanae! I wanted to see if you wanted to go to the mall this morning."
"I can't"
"Why! You don't expect me to go alone do you?"
I sighed, I didn't have enough food for this.
Wait. I couldn't leave to get food, but Kanae-chan could certainly bring me some.
And thus the begging began. Not that it was that hard actually, all I had to do was mention I was staying with Neuro for an entire week and wasn't allowed to leave the house, and Kanae-chan volunteered to come over.
Of course.
I hung up the phone and pulled half the contents of the fridge onto the table, stuffing my face a minute later.
"Do you think it's wise to use up all your rations like that little piggy?" Neuro walked in from the living room along the ceiling.
"Kanae-chan's bringing me more."
Neuro froze.
He slammed my head down on the table with his foot as he hopped to the floor.
"Who said you could invite guests?"
I coughed in my cereal milk, trying not to drown.
"I needed more food! And Kanae-chan was more than happy to help out."
Neuro removed his foot and replaced it with his hand.
"Your friend is going to give away the fact that we're home to the reporters. Do you want the whole country to know of your floozie ways?"
"I told her to be subtle *cough* I'm sure it'll be fine."
Neuro finally let go of my head, glaring at me when I looked up.
"Then enjoy sneaking her in by yourself, I certainly won't help."
He walked up the wall and stepped through the window, dissapearing from sight.
I looked down at my food.
I could either get dressed in time for Kanae-chan's visit, or I could finish eating.
Eating it was.
.
Kanae-chan chose to sneak in the back window, wearing mostly black.
Bad choice if I say so myself, since I thought she was a burglar and hit her over the head with a frying pan.
.
Kanae-chan sat in the living room rubbing her head.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
I tried my best not to laugh.
Kanae-chan glared at me.
"And after I brought you all this food too!"
"I said I was sorry! And I'm really thankful!"
Kanae-chan pouted.
"Fine, I'll forgive you, but you have to tell me what's happening between you and Nogami-san! I mean, you both are stuck here alone together! Somethings bound to happen!"
I rolled my eyes. Kanae-chan had a one track mind.
"How many times do I have to tell you, I'm not interested!"
Kanae-chan frowned.
"Aw. Poor Nogami-san!"
I almost asked what was poor about me, before remembering she was refering to Neuro.
Wow. A few days of being called Nogami-san had really taken it's toll.
Kanae-chan leaned closer to me.
'I knew it! Something did happen!"
I started at this.
"What are you talking about?"
She grinned at me.
"You smell like him."
I froze. I knew I should have changed the sheets.
"We just use the same dryer sheets now, so our clothes smell-"
"Yako-chan." Kanae-chan gave me a knowing look. "I know the difference between dry sheet smell and Neuro's smell."
Crap.
"Well, I have been spending alot of time around him, so that's probably why."
"Uh huh." Kanae-chan winked at me.
Ugh! Why did she always assume things like this?
After that Kanae-chan waved off my excuses and changed the subject to the war with the Rose Hotels we were having.
Her last words as she climbed out the window were; "I'll be looking forward to hearing about your progress!"
I hoped she meant with the war.
.
For the next three days, Rose Hotels trying to take over this community was on all the news channels.
And they were getting alot of bad press.
Neuro never stopped grinning as we watched the TV.
"Time's almost up louse."
On the forth day, Rose Hotels called a press conference.
"We on the board of Rose Hotels are truly horrified at the actions of our chairman. We strive to be a family hotel and want all of our actions as such to be family friendly. Thus, we have had a shareholders meeting, and they have all voted and agreed to ask the chairman to resign."
Neuro broke out into an evil chuckle. "They're shaking in their boots from all the bad press, and they're desperate to pin it on someone."
"So, we would like to introduce you to who the stockholders have voted and chosen as our new chairman: Shinobu Godai!"
My jaw dropped as Godai-san walked onto the screen.
"Wh-How-WHAT THE HECK?", dressed in a suit and piercing free
Neuro's evil grin was at it's widest.
"I had slave number two buy up most of the stocks for that company, gaining him a spot on the board. Then, as soon as they announced to him their plan about taking over this communty, I had him immediately contest the idea-quite loudly, not only for the moral reasons but also for the bad press. So when it did cause so many problems, slave number two had already curried favor with both sides. It was a sure win."
On the TV Godai-san cleared his throat to speak.
"My first order of business is to apologize to all those living in Border Estates, and to assure them we will not be asking them to leave. Instead, Rose Hotels is going to rent out the houses in the previous owners stead. We at Rose Hotels sincerely hope we have not caused you too much trouble."
Neuro flicked off the TV and threw the remote into my face.
"And with that I have conquered the enemy."
And he also had almost complete control over every one in this community.
I hoped he wasn't planning on taking over where they all worked next.
.
Ayame-chan insisted we have a huge barbecue to celebrate, tripling the amount of food prepared just for me.
While the residents still feared Neuro (alot) they were extremely thankfulto him.
Some even being brave enough to thank him to his face.
They probably shouldn't have.
I could already see his plans for them.
Yori-san was also there.
"Yako-chan~!"
He seemed rather happy to see me, despite the fact that Neuro had scared him so badly before.
"Yori-san! Good to see you!"
I said this between bites of food of course.
"Wow~ I never would have imagined you were the piggish detective~!"
I grimaced slightly.
"You're far too cute to have such a name~!"
Nice try, but the damage was done.
"So, Yori-san, you never told me what kind of art you do. Painting? Sculpting?"
Yori-san immediately reached for his phone, which had two hundred pictures of random paintings on them.
Picaso he was not.
"We should trade numbers! I'll call you when I have an art show!"
We had barely swapped numbers before Neuro showed up.
"Ah-the intruder again."
Neuro's claws dug into my head as Yori-san paled.
"I-I'm here as a visitor."
Neuro grinned a scarily innocent looking grin.
"That's right, you're visiting Hina, Kana, and Miko right? So I suggest you visit with them."
Needless to say,Yori-san took his leave.
Neuro looked bored as soon as he left.
Obviously he wasn't enjoying social interaction.
"Neuro! If you're not having fun and you're stopping every one else from having fun, you should go home!"
I should have kept my mouth shut.
Neuro stuck his claws an eighth of an inch from my eye balls.
"What was that louse?"
"N-nothing!"I squeaked, stuffing as much food as possible in my mouth.
Though apparently Neuro thought I could fit more, and lo and behold, he was right as he stuffed the rest of the plate in my mouth.
I tried to swallow as Ayame-chan waved at me from across the lawn.
Well, at least the food was good.
Soshi185: Hahaha, yes, Ayame-chan is a genius. And actually, it was never revealed who lived in that house, since Yako didn't want it to be know Neuro and her were living together. But Neuro sure is scary huh? O.O Sorry your wish didn't come true... well, maybe It'll be better next chapter. (^-^) Thank you for your regular reading and reviewing!
LittleMissSugarLess: I didnt hear that! I hope he/she is ok! [I don't read Naruto so I wouldn't know...] Thank you for your regular reading and reviewing!
Tomatosoup Inc.: Um, I don't think he considered keeping it. It was just natural that Yako would get the bed, since she always does. Yes, he does...And waiting over! (^-^) Thank you for your regular reading and reviewing!
bluefireruby: Hey, that's what any self respecting girl would do when her chocolate is threatened. Thank you for reading and reviewing!
