Chapter Eleven: Deathscythe
"Don't even think about it, you walking Salad Shooter from Hell! I've had a rough day and you're not going to make it worse by pressing that button." - Deathscythe.


Aunt Neko decided to walk in at that moment and looked around. "All right, explanation, now." No one moved. Aunt Neko can be very nice sometimes, but when she losses her temper, well, let's just say that she could make cleaning the bathroom from Hell look like a paradise escape. "Do NOT start making me use full names. And DON'T make me repeat myself or there WILL be hell to pay!" She gave us all "the look". The only two people that aren't scared of Aunt Neko are the Boss and Uncle Chaos, her best friend sence elementary school.

"It was my fault ma'am." Marco said, stepping forward.

Aunt Neko raised an eyebrow at me and Epyon, smirked and shook her head. "Oh? Really? Do tell Marco."

"They were fighting over me, ma'am. You see, they both are apparently madly in love with me."

Aunt Neko smirked, "Now where have I heard this story before? Let's see, is was a fight between Rachel and some girl named Jessica that you tried to breakup. It was in the lunch room in junior high. Am I correct?"

The Animorphs jaw dropped. You see, Aunt Neko and Uncle Chaos were best friends with Jake, Marco, Rachel and Cassie growing up. She was devastated when they died and changed her real name, Christina, to Neko. Uncle Chaos did the same, but for a different reason. Turns out as kids, they did some pretty bad stuff and were on police records, 'course those police records were written up by Yeerks. "How did you..... wait a minute. I'd recognize those cat ears anywhere! You're Christina!"

She clapped, "Give the boy a prize. I would have figured the glasses would give me away."

"Nah. So, how've you been?" Marco, apparently was the only one who could find his voice, Aunt Neko, or Christina, had changed a lot sense they last saw her. She got slimmer, her hair got longer, her style of dress changed, a little, as did her face.

"How do you think I've been?"

"Missing me terribly, I hope."

She smirked, "I'd say a rather perverted comment right now if Adora wasn't here."

"Who's Adora?" Jake asked, finally getting his voice back.

"Me." Altolong said, smiling, "It's my real name. Aunt Neko, you can say the comment, I hang out with Sandrock."

Sandrock laughed at that as did Aunt Neko, "No comment, Adora."

Uncle Chaos walked in as Aunt Neko said that, glaring daggers at her, everyone shivered. "Neko."

She looked at him, unphazed by his obvious anger, "Chaos."

"Have you seen the lab?"

"No.... what about the lab?"

"It looks like somebody," he glared at us as he said that, "had a fight in there."

We all swallowed, hard, except for Adora. You see, sometimes we all get hyper and get into pillow fights. This morning was one of them.

Neko and Chaos glared at us, "Damian, you mind explaining?"

Shenlong, or Damian, looked like a deer in headlights, "Sugar high?" I ran to the stereo and turned on the song, "They all said life's just, a bowl of cherries, but sometimes is seems like anything, think again. Sometimes reputations out wit their applications, sometimes fires don't go out, when you quiet them."

Sandrock burst in, "I feel so funny deep inside, I wanna kiss my self good bye! Sugar high!"

"Gotta have it, really need it to get by!" Epyon, Wing and I sang, trying to get them to lighten up. Aunt Neko would probably lighten up, but I don't know about Uncle Chaos.

"Sugar high!"

"When I feel, can't conceal, sugar high!"

"I can go out, and not even leave the house." Zero joined in on the fun, smirking. "A TV set and a bottle of wine, is just fine. Crashing out on that old pull out couch watching Saturday night live, I guess that's why..."

"When I think about my life, I wanna kiss myself good bye, sugar high." Heavy Arms sang, quietly. Aunt Neko clapped.

"Gotta have it really need it to get by!" Wing, Epyon and I sang, I was dancing a little.

"Sugar high!" The boys sang.

"Deathscythe, take the lead." Zero said, grinning.

"What?"

"Go on."

"I have searched both far and wide. I've explored the deepest caverns in my mind! To try an find, and explanation why, I get this funny feeling deep inside!"

"When I think about my life, I wanna kiss myself good bye! Sugar high!" Zero sang, hugging me.

"Gotta have it, really need it to get by!"

"Sugar high!"

"Wanna feel, can't conceal it makes me high!"

"Sugar high!"

"Need it now, I gotta live until I die!"

"Can you feel, can you feel it? Sugar high!"

We were all laughing, the Animorphs were clapping.

"Well, that does explan it, that doesn't mean you'll get out of cleaning it up."

"Awwwwwwwwwww!" Chorused seven voices.

"March, or I'll make you use your toothbrushes."

I ran outta there, with Aunt Neko and Uncle Chaos' laughter fading behind me.


Author's Note: Character pictures will be up when I can get then scanned. I'll let you know the web address when I put it up.

P.S. Christina "Aunt Neko" is me, by the way, she's just an older, and slightly altered version. "Uncle Chaos" is my friend Carlos. Yes, we are obnoxious brats.
