Chapter 3: Phone Calls, Nervous Breakdowns, and a Nuclear Rat Infested
Toilet Seat Factory
Back in the lair of the blond fiends, a new plot was being stitched together with ease, patience, and expertise. It was a perfect plan, flawless in every way. Poor Kento wouldn't know what hit him… Evil laughter filled the air, two voices that were eerily identical, causing a chill to travel up anyone's spine who may be listening to the strange echoing effect. But fortunately, the only person who was, didn't trust his senses anymore. Kento gulped and took a big drink of a tea that Cye had told him would calm his nerves. He finished it and still heard the haunting laughter. 'Didn't work…' Kento sighed and resigned himself to call a psychiatrist the next day.

Sage walked into the room with the phone in his hand looking stressed. "Kento, it's some girl for you…"
Kento grinned really big. 'Finally!' He thought, 'Something that makes me think I'm NOT crazy, GIRL!!!!!!' He smiled, took the phone, and trying to sound irresistible, said, "Hello, this is Kento, what's up?"
"Hello, Mr. Kento. I'm Keruri Barunetsutsu, president of the Baron's toilet seat company. I was wondering if I could supply you with…" The voice on the other end prattled on like you would expect any eccentric salesperson to do, but Sage had lied. The voice on the other end of the phone was a male voice with a phony western accent, and was prattling endlessly about toilet seats, of all things. Kento looked at Sage desperately, and Sage just gave him the evil smirk that they were all becoming too familiar with. Kento gave him a death glare, promising a slow and painful death… after he dealt with the phone call.
"Actually…ummm…. Hello? Ermmm…. We don't need…." Kento was obviously trying to appease the salesperson without having to buy anything, but any attempts to even accept would be cut off at this rate. The man on the other end just kept on prattling on about their fine product line of toilet seats.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kento, will you excuse me for a moment? We seem to be having another problem with those darn nuclear rats from the power plant next door in out packaging units." There was about a five second pause, allowing this to sink in, and he was just realizing that the man had actually stopped talking, when he started talking again. "Sorry about that, now it's resolved. Well, thank you for ordering our fine product and you should have it at your doorstep by the end of the day!"
"But I didn't…" But it was too late. The phone was now sounding an annoying dial tone that was nearly as annoying as the salesman's prattle. "But you never even gave me the chance to even order anything…" He shrugged. At least that Keruri didn't know his address. Kento smiled to himself as he looked up. He saw Sage sitting in the living room and went to investigate, when he caught a glimpse of someone closing the guestroom's door. His blood ran cold. It was Sage. He glanced back down at the person sitting on the couch, and barely caught a flash of blond going into the kitchen. "One more time, and I'm putting the Funny-farm on speed dial…." Kento vowed to himself as he went to his room to get some peace, quiet, and perhaps even sanity.

Half an hour passed without even a peep from the blond menace and his accomplice. Everyone was getting edgy. What were they planning? Everyone, except the two in question, were sitting in the living room waiting for the next move. "You know, as long as we sit here, we're probably safe from the pranks," Rowen stated calmly. Everyone nodded and smiled.
Except Kento. He was freaking out. "Don't jinx it!!!!" The doorbell rang. "You jinxed it!!!"
Everyone rolled their eyes. "Just because the doorbell rang, does not mean that Sage is pulling a prank." Rowen, again. They all nervously went to the door, trying to believe his words, but finding it difficult.
Ryo opened the door nervously, peeking his head around the corner, to see who was there. He blinked. "There's nobody here you guys." He then looked down. "Well, there's a package here for Kento. Kento, did you order something?"
Kento looked nervous. "Well, I didn't order anything, but there was this crazy salesman on the phone earlier and he said that my order would be here by the end of the day… But I DIDN'T order anything! I COULDN'T!!!! I couldn't even get more than two words in at a time!" While he was saying this, he picked up the box and brought it into the living room. He put it down and opened it. Poor Kento's screams reverberated throughout the house. He went to hide behind Cye.
Ryo reached into the box, trying, unsuccessfully, to keep from laughing. He pulled out a toilet seat and a rat. "Is this what you're scared of?"
Kento was shivering from either terror, or perhaps a nervous breakdown. "The salesman from earlier was selling toilet seats and said that the nuclear rats from the power plant next door sometimes got into the packaging unit." Needless to say, Ryo dropped the rat.
Rowen looked VERY nervous. "Nuclear? That thing's NUCLEAR?! Ok… Then how, WHITE BLAZE!!!!!!" Everyone turned to see White Blaze happily slurping up the tail of a rat. Everyone stared. White Blaze stared back. Rowen slapped his forehead. "Great, just what we need. A big nuclear kitty…"
Yuli sniffled, then broke out bawling. "NOOOO WHITE BLAZE!!!! WE ALREADY LOST YOU ONCE, I DON'T WANNA LOOSE YOU AGAIN!!!!" White Blaze was confused when the young one threw himself at him and started bawling like there was no tomorrow. The rat tasted perfectly fine.
Then a mirthful sound pierced the mourning. Laughter. SOMEONE had the nerve to actually be laughing at this situation. They all looked up when they heard that this laughter was a strange, echoing sound. Kento shuddered. It was the same laughter that he had heard earlier. They looked at Sage, who was laughing like there was absolutely nothing wrong. "I can't believe ANYONE could fall for a prank phone call that crazy, Kento, you really need a vacation." Sage yawned. "Ji and I are going to take a nap. We only got 4 hours sleep last night. We're tired." With this, he walked away and the echoing laughter returned. Then something happened that no one ever thought that they would live to see. They had gone through the entire Dynasty wars without ever seeing it before, and none of them even imagined that it could even happen. Also, none of them ever wanted to see it happen again. After facing countless demon soldiers, dark warlords, and the big baddy himself, something really weird happened at this time in front of all of their eyes.
Kento fainted.

Well, that's it for this chapter. How was it? I think it would have to be my personal favorite so far. Hehehe… So far… I've still got plenty of torture for Kento left, but this one focused on him… Next chapter is going to have one of the two scenes that all his 'hallucinations' have been leading up to. It's going to be good. I hope you all enjoyed that!!!
