ICE CASTLES

CHAPTER SEVEN: SHINIGAMI, THE RODENT EXTERMINATOR!



Duo yawned as he fixed himself a bowl of Lucky Charms. It was six o'clock in the morning, so no one was up except him. But what he didn't know was that I had him under 24-hour servelliance with cameras in every room. ^.^;
So, anyways, back to the story. Duo was eating Lucky Charms when he saw a....
"EEP! A RAT!"Duo screamed.
Nine pairs of feet pummeled down the steps. Duo was standing on the table, shaking like mad. He was staring at the floor.
"What is it, little baka?"Heero yawned.
"A- a- a r- r- rat!"Duo stuttered.
"A RAT?! AH!"Amber jumped on the table next to Duo.
Duo got knocked off the table and he jumped on a chair.
"Oh, c'mon!"I said. "You really think there's a rat in here? In the middle of nowheres in northern Canada?!"
"NANI?! We're in Canada?!"Duo shrieked.
Everyone minus Duo face-faulted. Duo looked at them with innocent little eyes. ,,I_I,, They all sweatdropped. I sighed and looked around for the rat. Everyone else helped themselves to a bowl of Lucky Charms.
Then I saw the rat and nearly fainted. Man, that thing was UGLY! I ran back to the kitchen where everyone was munching on their cereal.
"There is a rat!"I shreiked.
"Oh, great,"Laura said. "Now we have an insane braided boy AND and insane fanfic author in the house."
"I say we throw them outside with the chirping penguins,"Wufei suggested.
"NANI?! The chirping penguins are still out there?"Duo asked.
Evereyone face-faulted again.
"Gomen,"Duo said innocently, looking at them like this: ^^;
"Never trust innocent faces,"I said.
"WHA?! I resent that!"Quatre said.
"No, no! I mean don't trust people like Duo with innocent faces,"I corrected myself. "Eh heh heh...." ^^;
"Gomen, KSS-chan."
"So, what are we going to do about the rat?"Duo asked.
Everyone minus me ignored Duo and continued eating.
"Fine, if I am the only one who believes me, I'll have to destroy it myself,"Duo said. He then smacked his head. "Kill it, kill it! Not destroy, kill! Yeah, I'll kill it! Because I am SHINIGAMI, THE RODENT EXTERMINATOR!"
Everyone sweatdropped. O_O' Duo looked at them like this: ^^;
"Uh, Sarah, are you going to help me?"Duo asked.
"I believe you, but no. I'm not going to get mixed in with rats! I am not fond of worm-tailed rodents. But I'm sure YOU can kill it."
"Uh... Yeah, I can! Sayanara!"
Duo ran out of the the kitchen door and Trowa choked on his cereal. Me and Quatre patted on his back until the cereal went down his stomach all the way.
"Foo,"Trowa said. Then,"Hic! Hic!"

Duo looked around the house and then had a sudden revelation.
"I am in the middle of nowheres in northern Canada with chirping penguins and rats.... I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERES IN NORTHERN CANADA WITH CHIRPING PENGUINS AND RATS!"Someone finally saw the idiocy of this situation. Wow.
Duo took out his scythe and said,"Here rattie, rattie, rattie!" He stopped and sweatdropped at how stupid he sounded when saying that.
He looked under the couch and behind the tv. No rat. Meanwhile....

Trowa but the empty bowl in the sink and noticed something that was also in the sink.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!"
"AH! Someone call the ambulance!"Laura shrieked. "Trowa yelled!"
Everyone sweatdropped. O_O'
"Eh heh heh...."Laura laughed nervously.
"Oh no,"Amber said. "We have an insane braided baka, fanfic author, and a boy with long banks sticking out. How much hairgel do you use, anyways?!"
"Two bottles a day,"Trowa answered. ^^;

"Darn rat...."
Duo edged the bed covers aside in my room with his scythe. But the rodent was nowheres in sight. Duo sighed and walked out of the room.
"Got all of the bedrooms covered... got the l- AAAAAAAAAAARGH!"
Duo jumped as something scurried past him.
"SHIMATTA!"He yelled as the darn rat bit his toe. "I forgot my shoes. That's it, rodent.... FACE THE WRATH OF SHINIGMI!! After I look-up rodent in the dictionary...."
So Duo Maxwell a.k.a. Shinigami looked around the house, this time in search of a dictionary.... ^^;

Noin's head hung low as she tried not to fall asleep. Quatre tried to stiffle snores. Everything became quite boring ever since Duo disappeared. Heero's eyelids fell, sprang back up, and fell again.
"When is Duo-sama gonna return?"Laura asked drowsily.
"IIII duunnooooo...."Trowa said.
"I'll look for Shinigami-sama,"Heero said.
He got up, fell on the floor, and got back up again. He exited the room after missing the doorway by a foot.

Duo backed into the corner. The rat had him trapped.... He backed away as much as possible until a dent appeared in the wall.
"Heero-san!"Duo shreiked.
"Omae O Korosu, yellow rat!"Heero sprang from around the corner.
Sure enough, the rat was yellow and had red cheeks. The rodent was none other than....
"That's Pikachu?!"Duo shreiked.
Heero face-faulted. He then took out his gun and shot at the rat. All of the bullets hit, but the thing survived! The rat started running around and Heero kept shooting. Duo started a prayer when a bullet narrowly missed him.
"Shimatta!"Heero said when the bullets ran out.
There was only on last thing to do.... This was everyone's last resort.... Heero gave Pikachu his infamous Death Glare. The fatal glare that no one has ever survived.... BOOM! Pikachu exploded. That was the end of the rat....MWA!
Duo ran to Heero and glomped him.
"Heero-sama! How can I repay you?! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You can repay me by stop saying thank you."
"Okay, Heewo!"
"Heewo?!"
"Yup! Chibi talk! Isn't it cute?!"
"Baka."
"That's Kawaii Baka!"
Everyone entered the living room and sweatdropped.
"Duo, you forgot the rest of your cereal,"Catherine said.
"WHA?!"Duo shreiked.
He ran into the kitchen to finish the rest of his cereal. Everyone piled their bowls in the sink.
And Wufei was stuck with the dishes.
