No I do now own any of the characters you see here except Salaru, and no I do not own the Rhubix Cube or Monopoly...but enjoy my fic! ^^)

Ghostly nimbostratus clouds shrouded the city of Konan, rain pouring out of them. Everything around the area was saturated, and all in all....wet. Rain splattered against the windowsills of the palace. In boredom, everyone started watching the little droplets fall onto the ground. "That's 8,201 raindrops...oh wait, now it's 8,302...." Chimed Chiriko.

"You're still keeping count? I gave up at 3,201" Nuriko stated.

"I just lost my count!!!!" Chiriko wailed, then started to cry.

"It's not the worst thing that could happen, no da." Chichiri patted Chiriko's back reassuringly.

"So...if I have 15 buckets of fresh rain water, then I can pour them in smaller bottles, which would probably equal 30 bottles. I can charge a bottle for one gold ryo, then....." Tamahome talks to himself, while trying to calculate the money in his head, his eyes lighting up when he thought of the profit he'd make selling water in places where it's scarce.

"Wait wait....those buckets of water outside were yours??" Tasuki asked him.

"Yeah......why do you ask?" Tamahome asked, finally getting back into the real world.

"....Oops...."

"What does that mean!" He glared at the flame haired bandit.

"It was jus' layin' there so I....dumped it out. I also needed da buckets too." Tamahome became enraged and got up from his position on the chair and started to strangle Tasuki.

"YOU WHAT!!??"

"Take...it....easy....it...doesn't...look...like...da....rains...gonna...stop....anytime soon!" Tasuki shouted out whilst struggling to breathe, until finally he unsheathed his tessen and whacked him on the head with it. Tamahome stopped and fell headlong onto the floor. Tasuki regained his breath then pointed it at him. "REKKA SHINEN!!!" Flames spurt out of the tessen as they engulf Tamahome, turning him into a scorched person.

"Tasuki, you have to stop flaming Tamahome, no da." Chichiri added on. "Mitsukake can't keep on healing him, na no da" Tamahome was still sprawled across the floor, arm twitching, but not regaining the strength to get up anytime soon.

"I am...so beautiful" Hotohori grins as he looks at himself in the mirror. Everyone sweatdrops. Hotohori looks at them, seeing their shocked expressions and smiled. "I am so beautiful that it leaves everyone speechless."

"Not this again, no da." Chichiri groans. "We had to hear this all throughout sitting here and looking at the rain, no da."

"I'm so fuckin' bored!" Tasuki stated after a few peaceful moments of silence, while all of the others glared at him.

"Don't you think we're bored too!!?" Nuriko yelled. "I mean, we're counting raindrops for heaven's sake! Do you think that's entertaining!?"

"Well it actually keeps your mind focused an-"

"Other than Chiriko." Nuriko interrupts. Everyone else shakes their head.

"Well I'm not gonna sit 'ere an' wait fo' da day t' pass me by!" Tasuki shouted. "I'm gonna make somethin' of it!"

"Have fun...." All of the others manage to say and look away.

"An' you're jus' gonna sit there like a bunch o' fuckin' partypoopers!!??" The bandit turned to face them.

"Well what else is there to do, no da? It's raining anyway, no da." Just before Tasuki could answer that, a blinding white light appeared in front of them, taking the shape of someone in a dress. The white light dissipated and left a young girl, looking about 15 years old, with a red dress and brunette hair. Everyone else just stared at her, while she looked upon them nervously.

"Well!!!?? Aren't you gonna say somethin' or am I just standing here to be looked at!!!??" Everyone blinked.

"Well, it's not everyday that a girl just appears before you, no da." Chichiri finally managed to say from the shock of everyone else.

"Actually....this is quite normal for us." Hotohori stated.

"Oh, where are my manners!!?? I should've just knocked! Gomen ne sai....My name is Salaruoplagalaeiopanaglenwaeiglanavapalengoturiamasiferalita...." Ten minutes elapsed. "...But you can just call me Salaru." All of the seishi, including Tamahome who just got up from the flames of Tasuki's tessen just stared, until Chichiri yet again broke the silence.

"How can you live with such a long name, no da?"

"Oh that. That's not even my full name." Everyone falls.

"Who's da fucked up moron who would wanna name their kid somethin' so impossible t' remember!!!??" Tasuki protested.

"My parents always wanted to have fun with names. As a matter of fact they're still writing it down in the records." Tasuki then spoke up again.

"Fun!!?? Ya call writin' your name down fun!!!?? I gotta say they're a bunch o' shitheads!" Salaru shrugs.

"They're ok....." There was a few more minutes of silence until then Salaru slapped her head and spoke again. "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't tell ya the purpose that I'm here. All of you are bored, ne?" They all nod. "Well I'm here to rid you of your boredom! I'm the Fun Goddess!" They all blink.

"The Goddess of Fun?" Chiriko says, looking at her strangely. "I know my mythology and there isn't such thing as a Goddess of Fun. It's obsolete."

"Maybe they didn't write it in the records. Damned Gods, they don't know what they're doing. Never leave a job to a man. They can't handle it!" Everyone glares at her. "I didn't mean that litterly.....I meant...GODS, not males..." Another spring of silence passes by until she yells at them. "Sheesh! You're a boring bunch of people! Aren't you going to say anything!?? Don't ya wanna be cured of your boredom!?!?"

"But what will we do, no da?" Chichiri asked.

"I have a whole bunch of fun right here!" Salaru smiles.

"Like what?" Nuriko asks.

"Just name it!" Salaru grinned.

"If we knew what t' do we'd be doin' somethin' right now!!" Tasuki yelled at her.

"Ok ok...sorry. A little hot-headed are we?" Salaru winked at Tasuki while he sneered at her.

"Tasuki, this is no way to treat a goddess, no da." Chichiri looks to him.

"Oh it's alright. People just never take the Godess of Fun seriously." She crosses her arms and looks the other way. "They just walk all over me, thinking it's a stupid thing."

"If you were are da Goddess of Fun an ya say that no one takes ya seriously, isn't that jus' cancelin' each other out?" Tasuki ponders. 'If ya take fun seriously it would be borin' again! So you don't know what da fuck you're talkin' 'bout!"

"Maybe you're right." Salaru nods, thinking about it. Tasuki sneers again. This girl was just hard to anger. "Well lets have some fun!" Salaru perked up, grinning at everyone. She waved her arms around and a cubed box appeared in them, smaller square tiles of different colors scattered around it. "This is a Rhubix Cube." Salaru says proudly. "Some say that this is impossible to do. Others think it's easy. What you have to do is get the same color in the vertical columns. You turn the box like so." She starts twisting it, the top row rotating. "And you fumble around with it, and if ya spend some time with it, the finished product will look like this." She waves her hands again and the same box appears, but with all of the same colors in the columns. "This can entertain you for hours. Why don't you try now?" She hands over the mixed up Rhubix Cube to Chiriko, whilst he examines it and looks at it while the others stare at it as well.

"It's jus' a fucked up box!" Tasuki yells.

"It seems very interesting." Chiriko turns it over a few times, then starts twisting the top row while everyone crowds around him and watches.

Two hours pass and the FY gang still watches Chiriko try to solve the Rhubix cube, until they start to get bored again and look towards Salaru.

"That was sure FUN." Tasuki said sarcastically. "You're not livin' up t' your name!"

"Oh...the Rhubix Cube was just for Chiriko." Salaru closes her eyes, doing a cheerful looking grin. "But it seemed that the rest of you were so into watching Chiriko figure it out that I didn't want to disturb you."

"Ya ya but do ya have anythin' ELSE!!??" Tasuki glared.

"Well, there's Monopoly." Salaru said simply.

"An' what da hell is dat!??" Tasuki yelled.

"Now...if I move this here would it...NO! That's the wrong place. How do I undo this!??" Chiriko says frantically while trying to find the solution to the cube. Tasuki started to get impatient and grabbed the cube from his hand.

"Gimme that!" He looked at the cube, about ready to ditch it until he stared at it for a second, then started moving the pieces around himself.

"See? It's addictive!" Salaru said.

"Shut up!" Tasuki yelled at her whilst trying to figure it out.

Fifteen minutes elapsed while Hotohori, Nuriko, Chiriko, Tamahome, Chichiri, and Mistukake watched him figuring out the puzzle. Tasuki turned the cube one last time, then his expression held boredom. "That's it?" Tasuki looks at the finished product, expecting something to happen when it's completed, then throws it from in back of him, knocking Tamahome in the head.

"You.....WHAT!??" Salaru looks to Tasuki, then the cube and grinned. "You did! You're a genius! Even the most intelligent people can't get that! And you got it in fifteen minutes!"

"Gggennius!??" Tasuki stuttered. "You're sayin' that I'm smarter than Chiriko!??" Everyone turned pale and looked to Tasuki.

"Impossible! Tasuki's an idiot!" Nuriko shouted out from nearby, still not believing it.

"Watch it gay-boy!" Tasuki snarled.

"I can't believe....he got it, in fifteen minutes."

"But that can't be....I'm the intelligent one. I'm the one who's seishi power is wisdom and intelligence. That can't be! He got it before me!" Chiriko's eyes welled up with tears as he started to cry.

"Don't worry Chiriko, no da." Chichiri comforted him reassuringly.

"Yeah, I mean, Tasuki's so stupid that it was probably easy for him." Tamahome chimed, rubbing the area on his head where he got hit by the cube.

"WHAT exactly are ya sayin'!!!??" Tasuki spat, glaring at Tamahome, clenching his fists.

"Ok...ok...I'm breaking up this fight!" Salaru barged between the two. "We're supposed to have fun!" Tamahome and Tasuki glared at her. "I know! We can play Monopoly! It can entertain you for hours and more than one person can play!" She grinned and the Monopoly board appeared in her hand.

After Chiriko calmed down a little he joined the others, all baffled expressions written on their facades as they all stared at the board.

(Ok..I know it ended kinda...blah and it was kinda short but it was my first chapter and not a lot of stuff happens. I'll try to make the second chapter longer, when they finally play...bum bum buh...Monopoly!!! Stay tuned for the next Chapter of "Boredom Brings The Strangest Things"Chapter 2: Tamahome! Give up the money already!" --and please review, it encourages me to be more stupidly insane with my work. And if you have any other ideas as of what to happen for the fic, feel free. I love hearing new ideas... ^^)
