Notes:Apparently, the only thing I can write with writers block is Yako's POV and some filler. Well, I hope you enjoy it. Sorry killing Soshi185...well, hopefully her zombie will return. Notes to reviewers at bottom.


I was woken up in the morning at precisely 5:12am to the sound of Neuro mowing the lawn.

I groaned and rolled over.

Why hadn't any of the neighbors complained about this so far?

Well, I wouldn't complain either if I was them.

After about five minutes of listening to the engines roar, I finally threw open the window and tossed the nearest thing out of it. In this case it was one of the pillows.

The horrible din stopped, and I sighed in relief, only to realize my airways were blocked by the pillow I had just thrown.

"Are you initiating a fight louse? I assure you I will win."

I struggled to breathe around the pillow, finally resorting to kicking Neuro in the stomach.

Which had no effect of course.

"My, my, you are a smart little worm. Attacking the thing I treasure most."

One second before I was about to pass out, Neuro lifted the pillow.

I pulled in all the air I could, coughing and panting as I glared at him. He merely smiled his blank smile.

"Get ready for work louse."

.

I had never come to work with Neuro in the morning before.

And for that I was glad, as Neuro kept his hand on my head the whole way, helping me 'walk' by pushing me into every bush and puddle he could find.

He didn't even bother to use the stairs, walking straight up the side of the building while carrying me by the back of my shirt.

I grabbed onto the back of his coat as he slid open the window.

"A-aren't you afraid someone will see you?" I gasped as Neuro threw me onto the couch, with excellent aim for being at such and odd angle and so far away.

"There was one human once, who apparently lived out of a shopping cart." He walked over to troy and sat down, feet propped up on the desk. "I quickly had the man become a slave under slave number two. He now gathers information from every dwellingless human in the city."

Scary.

Really scary that just looking at Neuro got someone turned into a slave.

Though it was an off handed compliment to Godai-san that Neuro had so many slaves yet he was still slave number two. ...But he did lose to a braid, so I guess it wasn't too complimentary.

I waved at Akane-chan at this thought, getting a wave in return.

Lately, Akane-chan had been obsessed with a game called YouVille, and she played it almost 24/7. When Neuro couldn't see she wasn't working that is.

Hey, she got twice as much work done than an average secretarywould, so I saw no reason to deprive her of her game. Neuro probably felt the same, since I knew he would have noticed by now.

Well, not that he'd admit it.

I yawned, stretching while simultaneously reaching over for a newspaper.

Thinking of Godai-san, I should probably get him a 'congratulations on yet another job' gift.

Though I'm sure he wouldn't find that worth congratulating. Maybe a 'thanks for the hardwork' gift?

But he would probably think I was mocking him.

I opened my eyes as I realized I couldn't find the news paper.

Only to find Kira sitting next to me, holding the paper I was looking for.

I jumped slightly.

"My, my, parrot. There don't seem to be any good mysteries in here. And I can hear your stomach growling all the way from here."

I glanced over at Neuro, who was glaring full force at Kira.

She could really hear his stomach growling?

"Poor, poor, hungry parrot." Kira was suddenly right in Neuro's face, eyes full of mischief.

"Wanna cracker?"

She laughed as Neuro took a swipe at her, barely missing as she stepped back.

Neuro was over the desk in an instant, his claws out and glowing green as he followed Kira, who immediately jumped out the window, murder in his eyes.

I stared at the window for a few seconds, and when they didn't come back, picked the paper back up.

I jumped a second time as Kira fell out of a peice of paper taped to the newspaper's cover, an open door drawn on it.

"That got rid of him huh?" She smiled as she sat on my lap, taking the paper from me. "This is a waste of time. There's nothing in here." She turned and grinned. "Play with me instead."

Sighing, I took the paper from her. "If Neuro is as hungry as you say, I really should find him a meal then."

Kira smiled more geniunely this time, half singing as she said; "You really are a good friend huh?"

Her smile got much less innocent as she leaned closer. "What if I told you there will be a much bigger meal soon? Will you play with me then?"

Probably better not to ask how she knew that.

I considered it. I really would like to get Godai-san a present, and I didn't know when I'd have the time.

"I'll buy you lunch." I was in.

"Can we go shopping? I want to get a present for someone."

Kira smiled. "Sure!"

I reached for my bag as I thought of Kanae-chan.

I hadn't been spending alot of time with her lately, and she had invited me to go shopping with her when she went...

But Kira might be upset if I invited others. Well, no harm in asking.

"And how about if I invite another friend?"

Kira looked thoughtful. "Sure. I'l just need to do something realy quick then."

She pulled out her Book of Thoughts and doodled a picture of a woman on one of the pages, ripping it out when she was done and promptly putting it in her mouth.

"Wh-you really shouldn't eat-" I was cut off by Kira growing almost two feet in height looking much older.

I just stared at her flabbergasted as she put her book away.

"How-why?" Kira-now looking about my age if not a little older-looked surprised. "I figured you'd rather not have to explain to your friend who's kid you're watching. And I don't like getting treated like a small idiot in public. Remember, I'm actually 300 years old."

"Then why do you look like a child all the time."

Kira leaned closer. "I see everyone for the person they are inside, they see me for who I am inside."

"Oh! You have the Third Eye!"

Kira walked towards the bathroom door. "Not exactly, but same principle. Everything has it's price-right? I'm going to change."

I looked down at Kira's clothes-now tight shorts and a belly shirt.

"That might be best."

Kira went to change as I called Kanae-chan, who turned out to be not far from the office.

"I'll be right there!" She squealed before hanging up.

I smiled in excitement as I started writting a note to Neuro.

He would probably be worried if I didn't.

A claw on my head made me jump.

"And what do you think you're doing louse?"

Crap.

Crap crap crap.

"H-hi Neuro!" I turned to see his other claw had peirced through a paper drawing of Kira-what he had been chasing no doubt.

He looked down at the note.

I followed Kira's exapmle and stuck it in my mouth, being pretty sure that reading it would only make him angrier.

Neuro responded by shoving half a claw in after it, using to fingers to pry open my mouth as he leaned in searching for the paper.

And then Kanae-chan opened the door.

Neuro's claws automatically reverted to hands, the only thing he had time to do before Kanae-chan spotted us.

"Ah! Sorry to intrude!" She started shutting the door.

I tore my face away from Neuro. "W-wait! Kanae-chan! I was choking! Neuro was just getting this paper out of my mouth!"

Kanae-chan slowly reopened the door.

"I see~." She smiled big at Neuro, who smiled in return while looking like he wanted to kill me.

Not that Kanae-chan noticed.

She ran up to Neuro and hugged his arm. "Good to see you again Nogami-san~!"

Kira walked out of the bathroom at that moment, and as soon as she saw Neuro, let out a disappointed 'cheh'.

"The decoy lasted shorter than I expected." She mumbled, glaring at him.

"Hello! Who's this Yako-chan?"

Kira looked with surprised at Kanae-chan, her eyes widening with delight as she saw Neuro's eyes narrow.

"I'm Kira. Yako's a good friend of mine!" Kira chirped, looking far too pleased at Neuro's plight.

She ran over to Kanae-chan and grabbed the arm that wasn't wrapped around Neuro's.

"Let's be friends!" Neuro's innocent smile cracked a little.

"We were going to go shopping parrot, would you like to join us?" Kira's evil grin widened.

"Parrot?" Kanae-chan whispered to me.

"What Kira calls Neuro. Ignore it."

"Yes! Join us Neuro!" Kanae-chan hugged his arm harder.

Neuro turned towards me with death in his eyes. "G-guys, I think Neuro has a lot of important things-"

"Sure I'll go with you." I froze.

I.

Was.

Going.

To.

Die.

"Sensei said she wanted to buy me every puzzle book available at the store~. Right Sensei?"

I grimaced. "S-sure Neuro."

Kanae-chan looked overjoyed, Kira looked evilly pleased, and Neuro looked murderous.

Why did he bother coming if he was going to be so mad you ask?

To make sure I don't have any fun of course.


LittleMissSugarLess: Yes, it is extremely annoying. (-_-) And You'll have to see about Yori (O.O) Kira makes an appearance! [If that's a good thing] Thank you for your regular reading and reviewing!

RealityBoresMe: Ok, I have to address this issue. Apparently, I'm the weird one here. I thought it was rather obvious when you know a girl well and she smells like a guy, since guys scents usually over power the girls. And if you know the guy well enough [or are stalking him like Kanae] you may be able to recognize his scent. Apparently though, I have a weird super powered nose. I hope this didn't confuse too many people... Thank you for reading and reviewing.

TomatosoupInc.: Lol, what else could we expect from Yako? Kanae is fun to write, since she's naive about their relationship yet guy smart at the same time. Thank you for your regular reading a reviewing!

Nomaen: Hahahaha! Yes, I did paint Kanae as weird didn't I? -See my reply to Reality- And yes, poor Godai. Well, he's really powerful now at least. Thank you for your regular reading and reviewing!

Avaron in Amy: I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Soshi185: I hope your zombie can read...lol, maid of honor I'm sure. THank you for your regular reading and reviewing!
