April Fool's Day: Ronin Revenge
"-Kayura and the warlords." Sage concluded after a monumental pause.
"What a dirty trick!" Growled Kento.
"You mean tricks," Rowen corrected. "You weren't the only one to be fooled." He had been thinking back on what had happened and decided, with much deliberation, that his face had looked most like a wrinkled pug's.
"So what do we do now?"
"We trick them back." Said Sage.
"Yeah, April Fool's Day isn't quite over yet; we still have five some hours left." Cye reasoned. "Is that enough time though?"
"Of course it is, but we'll have to work fast." Ryo pointed out. "Let's go!"
Everyone dispersed from the table, each with their own plan in mind.
6:31 pm-April 1st
Meanwhile . . ..
"Nice trick Cale," Dais congratulated. "The Rogaine's going into the hall of fame. I should have thought of something like that."
"Are you kidding? I had to start putting it into his deodorant a week ago."
"I have to admit," Laughed Kayura. "I've never heard so much cursing in my life!"
The four of them were sitting in the living room of the house they had purchased after Talpa's defeat, laughing. But the humor eventually wore away and all of them stopped laughing . . . well, at least most of them.
Sekhmet was rolling on the floor still laughing so hard he was crying. The two other warlords and Kayura rolled their eyes and walked out of the room leaving Sekhmet to himself.
7:00 pm-April 1st
The Ronins had easily infiltrated the warlord's home and were preparing to launch their first attack.
After eating dinner the three warlords sat down with dessert that happened to be tapioca pudding.
"You know, tapioca pudding loses its taste after the seventh night in a row." Dais said.
"I agree," replied Sekhmet. "What about you Cale?"
"I think it's pretty good tonight."
"Are you crazy?"
"No, just put some raisins in it and see."
There was a pause.
"Uh, Cale," Dais said quietly. "We don't have any raisins."
Sekhmet rose and walked over behind Cale's chair. "Oh boy," sighed Sekhmet, looking over Cale's shoulder. "Those aren't raisins, those are dead flies."
Cale blanched and his eyes went wide; he dropped the bowl, clapped a hand over his mouth, and ran upstairs to the bathroom. Unfortunately, at the very same time, Kayura had been taking a shower. There was a blood-curdling scream that pounded warlord's ears six feet into their skull and Kayura came pelting from the bathroom wrapped up in a soaking wet towel. Still screaming she ran for her room.
7:13 pm-April 1st
Kayura sat in her bedroom taking a brush through her still-wet hair. She was so angry about what had happened earlier that she hadn't noticed what was happening to her hair as she combed. Kayura's hair was lightening till it was almost a pure white. She stared dumbly at the mirror until she finally stumbled upon the conclusion that someone had put peroxide in her spray-in conditioner. Another scream rang through the house startling Cale, Dais, and Sekhmet who, at that very moment, was on top of a ladder laying the final card on top of an incredibly large card tower. He started and all fifty-two cards tumbled to the floor.
Kayura ran down the stairs. "Okay, who is responsible for this?"
"For what?" The warlords asked.
"Someone put something in my conditioner that caused this!" She turned her head showing them the large blotch of dyed-white hair she had been screaming about.
"Wow," commented Sekhmet. "Why'd you do that?"
"I didn't!" Kayura screamed and almost succeeded in knocking his head off before Cale decided to hold her back so she could calm down.
"So who's behind this?" She asked.
The warlords shrugged.
9:51 pm-April 1st
Little had happened in the past two hours thirty-six minutes and forty-eight point three seconds worth thinking about but Dais had no doubt in his mind that this was just the Ronins getting revenge. He figured that if he went to bed now the Ronins would forget about him and he'd wake up tomorrow to find he was the only one who had escaped. Boy, was he wrong. Nevertheless, he turned out the lights and went to sleep.
Half an hour later, something brushed up against his nose and he awoke with a sneeze. Dais sniffed and looked around.
"Ah, Jesus!!" He cried when he spotted the snake staring at his from two feet away. Panicking, he rolled out of bed. He fell and kept falling. Unfortunately, the snake was only half of the trick; the other half consisted of his bed being raised so that he was sleeping a full twelve feet off the floor. Dais landed with a painful thump on the floor and, to his horror, the snake followed him down. He backed into a corner, screaming.
"What is all the racket?" Kayura asked after bursting into his room. She rolled her eyes again, walked over, and picked up the reptile. "For Pete's sake, a harmless garden snake is nothing to be afraid of. It's probably more scared of you than you are of it."
There was a faint 'I don't think so' from the hallway behind her.
Kayura walked out and Dais could faintly hear Cale and Sekhmet laughing somewhere out in the hall.
11:02 pm-April 1st
Sekhmet was the last warlord to be tricked and he was aware of it, which is why it took him so long to get to sleep that night. Sekhmet didn't like surprises like this.
He drifted off to sleep and had a nightmare where, instead of a monster, the senator was in his closet, stalking him. It was approximately 11:47 when he awoke to the call of "fire!". He hopped out of bed and ran for the door. He was half way there when his feet were pulled out from under him. He made another attempt to reach the door but didn't even move another inch closer. Sekhmet looked around for the source of this problem and made a startling discovery. Why on earth were his big toes tied to the bed frame?
But what about the fire? If he stuck around too long he'd be caught in the blaze. He didn't smell a thing though. It hit Sekhmet then and he realized it was the Ronins again. He got up and stomped angrily towards the door but ended up flat on his face again. Growling, he broke the string chaining him to the bed and then left his room.
In the hall he came face-to-face with Kayura, Dais, and Cale.
"We've got to get those Ronins back! Any ideas?"
Silence, but around the corner they could hear maniacal laughter. Following the sound they found the five Ronins laughing their heads off.
"Hey!" Cale yelled. The five teens stopped laughing and looked up.
"Hi." Ryo greeted, still with a goofy smile on his face. "Nice day, huh?"
"We want revenge!" Dais stated.
"What are you going to do?" Asked Kento with mock fear.
"We have the greatest trick you brats will ever see. You haven't forgotten it, have you Cale?" Kayura wondered.
"He couldn't forget it, he's got a mind like a steel trap." Informed Sekhmet.
"That could be dangerous," Cye pointed out. "He has an idea and it would snap his neck and swallow his face."
The Ronins laughed.
"You runts will never top this one!" Cale yelled.
Before anyone could say another word an old grandfather clock downstairs chimed twelve times, signaling it was midnight and the end of April Fool's Day. What ever the warlords had in mind would have to wait till next year.
The Ronins yawned, smiled, and headed home leaving behind four very angry adults. It was time to get some sleep.
The End
