All the Seiryuu Have Mental Problems... But We Knew That

Chapter 7 - AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

It was a long time before Nakago woke up. Miboshi was conscious again, and back in his body. No one knew what to do with Tomo, so he was still stuck in the vacuum cleaner. Also, at the moment, no one really cared about Ashitare, so he was still broken and dead for all we know.

Everyone had finished eating, except for Miboshi, who was still in his high chair picking at the taco meat that he had spilled.

When he finally did wake up, he saw Soi's new hairstyle, but he also found that he was still in a straight jacket. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have Nuriko's strength, so he was left there.

He was already on the ground, so as he tried to wriggle out of it, he wasn't doing any good, so he was just dragging everything all over and ruining the floor.

Miboshi was wandering around the house, after finishing his dinner, not kowing what to do. Then suddenly he got an idea. He rushed into the bathroom, and the rest is history.

Soi walked in the bathroom, and as she undid her belt, she thought that she heard something snicker. She looked around and saw nothing, so as she went to slide her skirt down, she heard the snickering again.

This time as she looked around, she again saw nothing until she looked down. That was when she saw the face swirling around in the water. She screamed bloody murder and ran out of the bathroom.

Suboshi and Amiboshi had entered the room want to see what had spooked Soi so much.

They saw nothing, and decided to leave it be. It must've been 'girl stuff' they concluded.

Finally when Nakago had freed himself, he joined the twins in the dining room. Soi was still in her room, doing... something. The twins carried on with their conversation about the past day, but when Nakago tried to join in, his words came out jumbled from the numbness.

Even though they couldn't understand anything they pretended to listen as they shielded their eyes from the bright shininess of Nakago's new shiny, clean teeth.

"Can I ryuuseisui them, aniki?" Suboshi asked.

"I'd say yes in this case, but then he'd probably go back and they'd get even worse than now!!" Amiboshi replied.

Suboshi pouted, but heed his brothers' words, since they were probably true.

As all this had been going on, the Tomo specks had been moving one by one through the vacuum, and a few could see light...

Soi was sitting on her bed with her knees on her chest, and she was rocking back and forth. She had been traumatized by what she had seen in the bathroom.

When she heard the knock at her door, she barely didn't scream. The door opened, and it was Nakago.

"Go away," she muttered, after heaving a tremendous sigh.

Nakago looked confused, but he didn't want to leave because he liked the way Soi looked with her new hair.

"LeavE!!" she screamed as she saw him standing there. She then go up and pushed him out of the doorway and slammed the door.

That left Nakago sitting on the floor outside of her room. He sat there for fifteen minutes, dazed. Soi normally would have invited him in right away. He wondered what was different.

Tomos slipped out of the vacuum cleaner easily, and found himself on a hardwood floor. As Nakago walked by, the little specks clung onto him with what they could.

As he passed Suboshi, who was waiting for his brother to get the dog-man, the boy look down at Nakago's pants.

"Um, Nakago. You got stuff on your pants." Suboshi said, hoping not to receive a verbal answer.

The ex-general looked down and tried to brush them away. He thought he did so successfully until he looked at his hands, which happened to be covered in the clingy little Tomo specks.

"AHHH!" the general screamed, seeing that they appeared to being clinging onto him and moving. Shaking his arms whildly, it seemed to be snowing Tomos.

Suboshi's eyes widened, and he yelled, "HIT THE DECK!!" Doing so, he shielded his hair from the little floating specks.

Meanwhile, Soi had tried to slip into the bathroom again. She was jumping up and down doing the Bathroom Dance. She looked arounf and look down and saw nothing. As she went to pull her skirt down, the familiar laughter filled the room.

"Oh! I was just.. going to.. uh, brush my teeth!! Yea! That's it! Brush my teeth!!"

"Hahaha!! Suuuuuur!!" the voice laughed.

Soi sneered and walked (hopped) out of the bathroom. 'I wonder if lightning strikes inside...'

She went into her bedroom and whipped out a giant chalkboard.

As Miboshi laughed, the water in the toilet bubbled up.

Amiboshi and his brother finally reached the veterinarian, and wheeled Ashitare in on the wagon. Everyone in the office either died or ran away from the smell.

"Guess we should do something about that..." Amiboshi said to Suboshi.

Suboshi nodded, "Yea. Soi said we should go to the groomers' next."

Amiboshi nodded. "Ok, that sounds good."
