Isabelle ran back into the house, about to scream at the children, when she saw that they were all fast asleep under their little blankets, looking as innocent as ever. Even Legato looked adorable, even though he was just a lump under his blanket. She tried to calm down. After all, the children needed their rest, and she could yell at them later, before their parents came. She picked up her iced coffee and drank some. Finally, she could relax...just listen to the silence...the breathing of the children...the rushing of the water...
Wait...WATER?
Isabelle ran down the basement stairs...well only halfway...She gasped at what she saw.
The basement had been completely flooded, and the water was beginning to come up through the floor and up the stairs. She ran to check the sinks and toilets, and saw that they were all flooding, much more than they should have been. But how would a bunch of small children manage that? The only way they could have would have been to destroy the water pressure controller...but what four-year-old would think of that?
Knives.
She ran to wake the children, only to find them gone again. This time, however, they were simply outside, by a telephone booth that they were obviously trying to use. If she hadn't been so furious with them, she would have laughed. Knives was standing on Legato's shoulders, while Midvalley seemed to be looking for change on the ground. However, whatever the hell they were doing, they would be punished; they must be. She stormed up to them.
"What do all of you think you're doing?"
Vash began to cry. "I didn't do anything! Weally! I woke up cuz I thought I wet da bed, but then everything was wet, so I didn't know what to do! An' then I saw everyone outside, so I went outside too." Milly nodded, and then went back to beating Nick at rock paper scissors.
Isabelle ignored them and glared and Knives and his group. "I /said/, what do you think you're doing?" Knives turned, looking almost miffed. "Miss Spider, if you have not noticed, we are attempting to use this-" he turned to Legato, who whispered something, "-...'tellyphone' to call those who we are offspring of so they can take us away from your obviously neglectful care..." Midvalley handed him a dime, which he then pushed into the slot, jabbed several numbers, and handed the phone to Midvalley, who immediately began to speak.
"'Ello? This is Midvalley, Momma. I'm outside. Tha place got flooded. We-" Legato twitched slightly. "We woke up, an' tha place sounded all watery, so we ran around tryin to figure out what was wrong, an' then we came out here. It was weird...No, I dun know where the water came from! It was just there! No, Momma, Knives' mommy's gonna drive us. He's a friend. Okay Momma, I'll be careful an' stuff. Ba." He handed the receiver to Knives, who hung it up.
Isabelle had been listening all this time to the conversation, and was ready to kill.
"Midvalley! Why did you tell those lies? And Knives, what are you all doing? And who are you calling?"
Midvalley looked at Knives, who nodded. "We told the truth. We really did....After all, if our mommas can catch us, would you be able to if we were outta bed?"
Legato allowed Knives to get off of him, and then spoke. "An' besides, we needed to tell our parents dat we gotta be picked up. They wouldn't be happy if they found out we jus' missed bein' dwowded, would they?"
Isabelle was literally ready to kill one of the children this time. Seeing that Legato was now listening to something Dominique was saying and looking very embarrassed and confused, she lunged at him, pulled him up by his shirt collar, and brought his face(which, she noticed with insane glee, was already stained with tears and full of fear) to hers.
"I'm sorry Legato," she said, speaking through clenched teeth, "but you have to be a sacrifice...This'll only hurt for a little while, sweetheart..." She reached into her pocket for a taser she always carried with her just in case, and set it to high.
Dominique gasped. She knew she couldn't make the woman put him down like Legato had for her, but she had to do something! He was her knight! Finding nothing to throw at her, she jumped onto Isabelle's back and bit deep into her shoulder.
Isabelle screamed, dropped Legato, and tried to shake the small girl off of her. When that failed, she, by instinct, tried to hit her with the taser, not noticing that Rem, Legato's older brother and his friend, and her own mother had arrived.
*******************
Legato stared out the window of his older brother's convertible. The human Gung-Ho Guns were there with him in the backseat. Midvalley had fallen asleep from the ordeal, Knives had already been dropped off at his house, promising that Legato could come and play next Saturday along with the rest of the GHG, and Dominique was falling asleep on his shoulder.
"Gio-chan?"
His brother glanced back at him. "What is it, kiddo?"
"Umm....How do you get cooties?"
Gio laughed. "Cooties? They don't exist. Why, are you plannin' on kissin' some girls anytime soon?" He winked at his little brother, who looked horrified.
"But-Girls....I don't..." He turned to Dominique and shook her awake. "Domi-chan, was there any kissin' today? Tell them there isn't!"
Dominique opened her eyes and looked at him, then at Gio. "Kissing? Legato didn't kiss anybody..." She laid in Legato's lap and fell back asleep. Legato beamed. "See! No kissing! Now do you believe me? I have a...witless!"
Both Gio and his friend laughed. "Note," his friend said, "that both of them didn't say anything about /bein'/ kissed..." He turned around and looked at Legato. "After all, we all know that a girl who likes you can't hide it for long..." He laughed as Gio pulled up at Dominique's house and both of the older boys laughed.
"Say goodbye to your little girlfriend, Legato..." they teased as Dominique climbed out of the car and ran to her mother. If they hadn't known the child better, they would have sworn he was pouting. But it was best to say nothing. After all, Legato was in need of a nap, and nobody wants to deal with a cranky four-year-old...even Legato knew this as he sucked his thumb and watched her go.
Domi-chan?
Domi-chan?
Legato?
You fo'got to say goodbye...
She laughed in his mind. Well, t'morrow's Saturday, an' so we'll see eachodder again. Besides...you don' like me that much...
Legato was shocked. I-Of course I do! Kissin' is just yucky!
She laughed at him again. Not if you do it right...
Huh?
G'bye, Legato.
Legato furrowed his brow. This was too hard to sort out, especially when he was so sleepy. Maybe he'd ask Gio what she meant...
G'bye, Domi-chan... he said as he drifted off to sleep in the car.

Yeah, so I kinda gave it a dark side, barely paid attention to the "good guy" characters, and the poor woman went mad. But I still feel good! ^_^ I actually finished a story! Aren't you all so proud???????
And don't worry, everyone. I'm probably gonna write a little sequel involving a few more GHGs, more Vash and co, more insanity, a new teacher, and even maybe an *argument*...(oh lord, I sound like I'm advertising the new version of a game....ChibiTrigun 2.0...XD) so, in anycase, the kids'll be back, don't worry! ^_^ hope you enjoyed it!
