Ok, this chapter has one of the scenes that you've all been waiting for! Well, at least one of the scenes that I've been waiting to write. Well, anyways, I LOVE Kento's 'seeing double' scene in this one. I've had it planned from the beginning!

And now to the story.

Chapter 4: Lamps, Naps, and Memory Eight

Sleep came easily to the two pranksters. Their day had already been filled with exhausting fun, and they still had more to go. Ji locked the door and yawned. Sage merely grunted as he wrestled with the curtains, trying to hide as much light as he could. He may be the warrior of light, but the sun shining in his eyes and attempted sleep just didn't mix. He knew Ji's preferences were the same, so he didn't even bother asking. With a final "mrmph" as a 'Good night,' the two weary relatives lay down in their respective beds, and each fell into a deep sleep only moments after their heads hit the pillows simultaneously.

Kento groaned as he awakened. His mind was still rather frazzled, and he was hesitant to open his eyes, in fear that he would find all of his insanity to have been real life rather than a dream, as he dearly hoped. Reluctantly, Kento opened his eyes, and groaned again, closing his eyes once again. He was laying on the couch with Cye hovering worriedly in his face. He sighed and looked back up at his best friend. "It's real?" He asked this cautiously and when Cye nodded, Kento again sighed and got up. "I'm going to have a talk with those two, I don't care if they are napping, I'm talking with them." He got up and made his way to the guest bedroom before anyone could object.

Ji was practically sleepwalking as he left the room to use the restroom. Sage was still happily snoring away in dreamland, oblivious. Ji brought a glass of water into the room and took a drink, spilling it on himself while taking a drink. He didn't seem to care, or even notice for that matter. He put the glass on the shelf between the beds and fell back to sleep within moments of hitting the pillow.

In his consciousness-deprived condition, he had forgotten to lock the door, and Kento easily got into the room. He walked over between the beds, fully intent on waking the both of them up, when he glanced back and forth between the beds and seeing an impossible site. 'Oh, no! Not again!' His thoughts became panicked and disorderly as he rapidly looked back and forth between the two beds, coming close to hyperventilating and fainting. He saw two Sages. They were sleeping in identical positions, only opposites. They both snoozed away happily, completely oblivious to a freaking out Kento.

He left the room trying to look normal. He was barely successful. He casually walked out into the dining room and picked up the phone book, bringing it to his room. A tense, yet accepting smile that screamed 'I'm crazy!' to anyone who looked was plastered to his face. He pulled out his cell phone and looked up a number, then entered it into memory 8 on speed dial. He nodded in satisfaction as he took the phone book downstairs, and went back to his room. He sighed and mumbled, "And now I'm prepared for the next time I see two of him." He lay down and let himself fall asleep.

Yuli was very happy that the rat wasn't nuclear and that it was just a prank. White Blaze was happy to have gotten a ratty treat. He happily curled up in a corner and stretched a catlike stretch, and yawned a catlike yawn. Yuli was also tired and once White Blaze was situated, he snuggled in close to the tiger and fell asleep. White Blaze purred at the boy and also fell into a deep, comatose catlike state.

It was 3:00 in the afternoon when the relatives awakened. They took turns in the restroom brushing their teeth, and such. Sage went first, and once he was done, he went downstairs and the site that greeted him made him smile. He saw the napping boy and tiger. But the smile you found on his face was not the kind you would expect at the site. The smile was not a soft one showing affection and friendship, nor was it one of amusement. This smile was devious. In fact, it was FAR more devious than any seen on his face during the whole day. And considering some of the stuff that went on during the day, if you're not scared, then I suggest you use Kento's cell phone. The phone number you need is memory 8. Sage continued grinning this grin as he headed back to the guest room to wait for Ji and prepare for their next move.

Mia walked into the living room and sighed in exhaustion. She walked over to the couch and plopped down. She jumped back up with a yelp of surprise and slight pain as she reached underneath her and picked up a sharp object that sat in her spot. It was a lamp shard from her grandfather's lamp. The blood drained from her face as she looked around the room seeing more shards everywhere. Finally her eyes came to rest on the obvious culprits. White Blaze and Yuli lay napping in a corner. White Blaze had the shade of the lamp over his head like a hat, and Yuli was holding a soccer ball.

~*~

Kento jumped awake as he heard a scream of rage ring throughout the house. "WHITE BLAZE!!!! OUT!!!! YULI!!!! YOUR ROOM!!!! NOW!!!!" One would not think it possible from the volume of the previous sentences, but somehow, the last word was louder than all the rest. Kento walked over to his door and saw Mia fuming as she began picking up the pieces to something like a lamp or a plate. Kento shrugged, thinking nothing of it. He yawned and went back to bed.

Sage and Ji were in their room laughing. They were both aware that that was more evil than usual, but they didn't care. They'd take the kid out for ice cream the next day as an apology. It was no biggie. "Man, I'm sure glad we picked up that lamp in town last night before we came home! It sure fooled Mia!" Sage said this as he pulled out the lamp that was supposedly in pieces downstairs.

"Yeah, we're going to have to put this back later on when nobody's in the room." Ji replied looking at his relative with interest. He knew that Sage was already planning their next move and he went over to the closet and pulled out. a bowling ball? Ji frowned in confusion. He became even more confused when Sage pulled out some paint and brushes. Sage just grinned at him and as their newest plan unfolded, Ji's grin grew to match the evil look on Sage's face.

FF.NET IS CRAZY!!!!!!!! IT'S SOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!! Oh, well. I'm going to International Youth Convention and Church Camp so I won't be able to be on for a while. *sighs* *shrugs* Oh, well! Now I'll WORK on fanfics rather then spend my time looking for ones to read and checking every ten minutes to see if any of my stories I'm reading have been updated. (Yes, I really do that.) I hope you liked this chapter! I was tired when I wrote it and you can tell. I use more big words and meticulous writing style when I'm tired. The drawback to this is I have trouble typing. What will happen next time? What's with the bowling ball? When will the guys meet Ji? Will Kento use the number he placed on memory eight? Stay tuned!!!! Oish! FF.net is up and I'm at church camp and International Youth Convention. Oh well. I'm back now and it's up so here's the next chapter!
