*Just as a note thanks to a review, I'll keep it in third person…thank you so much. I tend to do that a lot, switch back and forth between first and third person. I should remember to stop doing that sometime in the near future. Maybe I should stay in the middle and be second person...HAHAHA…ok. That wasn't funny.
"Oh no!" Yoshino cried out. Tengaar and Eillie were in the middle of a laundry fight. I guess it started with Tengaar saying something about how Eillie is so vulgar she'll never find a man that will like her. I think Eillie was quite offended and replied by there were 'manlier' women out there and she was no exception either. I think I was better off staying outside, and perhaps in bed today. This was somewhere where I shouldn't be, in the middle of a girls' cat fight. But, being the leader I am, I was bound to go checking out on everyone. The moment I entered I was greeted by a soap bar in the face. It fell down and hit the ground, and the girls stopped in mid-fire. It seemed that they had chosen sides. On Eillie's side were Rina, Ayda, Tomo, and Oulan (who had taken offense to the word 'muscular women'). On Tengaar's side were Millie (who wasn't much help anyway, she was much more occupied on keeping her white hat intact from the soap), Lo Wen (who had always liked Tengaar), Wakaba, and Lorelai (who found fights like these amusing and another interesting thing besides the Sindar ruins). The teams were evenly split with Yoshino and Viki serving as the neutral overlookers. Viki was doing the occasional teleportation of flying buckets in fear it might hit someone, I sure would like to know where the buckets disappeared to…
"MILORD!!!" Eillie cried out. She had another soap bar in her hand. The hero nudged the soapy spot on his face with is bandanna. It came off quite quickly. Viki made the soap bar on the ground vanish quickly before I saw it.
"Milord…we're terribly…" Yoshino started. He held up his hand.
"It's quite alright. It is my fault for my intrusion in on this little scene, but may I ask something?"
"Anything milord," Tengaar said. She was on the verge of bursting with laughter.
"I'm quite afraid to ask this…but how is the laundry coming along?" he asked.
"We've managed to wash one shirt…" Rina said. She held it up. There was a nice dirt splotch in the middle of the nice white shirt. "Well…er…" she stuttered.
"It WOULD have been clean if you hadn't used it for a shield," Yoshino sighed. "I'm sorry milord, we haven't got much done," she added.
"I see. It's quite alright. I see that other…er…distractions have kept you from moving on. Just make sure you finish it by the end of the day and make the almighty grumpy one happy alright?" he replied. He gave a great big smile. The girls nodded vigorously.
"So, I suppose I'll take my leave. Please finish what you were doing before I so rudely interrupted. Farewell ladies," he said. As he walked out, he could hear the loud shout of Wakaba going out as: "TAKE THAT EILLIE!!!" he also heard a snappy retort as: "WAKABA!!! TAKE THAT!!! AT LEAST I'M NOT THE ONE WHO HAS CHOPSTICK PATTERENED UNDERWEAR!!!" he smiled to himself and wondered how come these incidents didn't happen normally around the castle. He knew it was good though…having a cat fight around the castle each day could probably drive the average man to insanity. He chuckled to himself as he went out to observe the next job that was being worked on. He was wondering if Kasumi and Anita had thrown the bar into complete chaos. Knowing Kasumi and her good nature, he knew she hadn't done much damage, but if Anita had found Valeria sitting there…whoa. Sparks would've flown then and probably set the bar afire. He walked into the bar and noticed everything was moving quite smoothly. I noticed only Kasumi was present, along with Leona of course.
"Lord Hero…it's good that you've come to see us today," Leona said. She smiled.
"Thank you…but I could've sworn I signed Anita to this job too. Where did she go?" he asked.
"I can answer that milord. Valeria was in the bar this morning. The last thing I heard her say…no…rather shout before she left this bar completely drunk was: "I'll beat you someday Valeria…and I'll work in the Toran Republic as well…" she stumbled out the door shortly after that. As for where Valeria went I have no clue." She reported.
"Thank you Kasumi…I appreciate your report. I was hoping something like this wouldn't happen…but please tell the guards sometime that two completely drunk women may be returning sometime today." He sighed. Just at that very moment he heard a shriek come from the kitchen. He could hear that ear-piercing holler all the way from this side of the castle. It was undoubtedly the shout of Hai-Yo.
"Oh no!" he exclaimed. "I COMPLETELY forgot about leaving FLIK in charge of washing dishes!!! This can't be good…" our young leader sighed. He dashed over to that side of the castle and peeked inside the back of the kitchen. It seemed Flik was oblivious to what was going on around him. Every dish he picked up seemed to hit the ground sooner or later. If not while washing it, it was when Viktor was drying it. It seems that Viktor had volunteered to help his buddy get his job done. Poor Hai-Yo wasn't ready for this day.
"YOU'RE RUINING ALL MY DISHES!!! PRETTY SOON THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO EAT OFF THE FLOORS BECAUSE OF YOU TWO BUMBLING IDI…well…that is unfortunate. You two are EXCUSED…I don't want anything else broken. Go…get OUT of my KITCHEN!!!" Hai-Yo exclaimed. Viktor and Flik turned and ran out the door. Hero started laughing in the doorway. Hai-Yo turned to look.
"Ahhhhh….Lord Hero. I'm sorry you er…had to witness that. They were breaking every single dish imaginable," Hai-Yo said.
"That's quite alright. We can always pay for more. I hope you carry on…er…" he started. He reached for a shattered plate on the floor. It seemed to have a picture of a clown on it. "I don't quite remember ordering this kind of plate…did you order this?" he asked.
"That? Er…that is…that was…that…" Hai-Yo stuttered. He was turning red.
"IS THAT THE PLATE THAT YOU GOT FROM VIKTOR FOR CHRISTMAS?!" our leader asked with gaping wide eyes. He seemed amused and ready to burst with laughter.
"I…er…I…" Hai-Yo stuttered.
"It's okay…" our young leader said between fits of laughter. "I'll bet you're glad it's gone now," he added.
"I am." Hai-Yo answered.
"Well then, I'll see you later then. Good luck," he said. He walked out of the kitchen. With lack of anything else better to do to pass the time he walked to the library to pass the time.
