I'm REALLY sorry that this took so long to get out!! Two months… oh dear, I'll have to do something about that. Well, I'd tried to write it, but I really couldn't think of anything to write, so today, I just sat down, and I wrote, because I had nothing better to do, and here is the finished product!! ^_^

All the Seiryuu Have Mental Problems
Chapter 12

When Suboshi got home from school, everyone was out. The only people home were Tomos (but he didn't really count), Amiboshi and Ashitare.
"Otouto?" he heard from outside.
"Yea?"
"Could you come out here? I need some help…" Amiboshi's voice asked.
"Okay, aniki," Suboshi said, walking through the hallway. When he got outside, he saw Amiboshi standing, looking at Ashitare, whose body was sprawled out on the deck.
Suboshi's eyes widened, "Aniki! What did you do?!"
"What?!" Amiboshi asked, shocked. Then he saw where his brother's eyes looked. "NOOO!! Nononono!!! I think he's sick!"
"Aniki!! You poisoned him?!" Suboshi asked. "I'm shocked!!"
"Otouto! STOP!!" Amiboshi cried.
Suboshi stopped his antics for a moment, and stared at his brother incredulously.
"Otouto, he's sick. I was supposed to give him a bath, and he just… passed out…" Amiboshi explained.
Suboshi said nothing, "Erm.. what do we do?"
"… If I knew that, I wouldn't have been standing here for the past hour and a half…" Amiboshi replied.
"Couldn't you just use your ki?" Suboshi asked.
Amiboshi stood, dumfounded. How come he didn't think of that? "… Do I have to take off my shirt?"
"I… don't… KNOW!!!" Suboshi stressed. "It's YOUR power!!" He grabbed his head and walked back inside the house.
Amiboshi looked after his brother, wanting to ask him what was wrong, but he decided that the well-being of an animal was more necessary at the time. He leaned down and forced his ki to the thing.
Finally, Ashitare woke up. And he screamed. And Amiboshi screamed.
Inside Suboshi moaned, and put on some headphones.
On the road, Soi and Nakago heard the unharmonic combination of Amiboshi and Ashitare's screames.
Nakago cringed, and Soi closed the windows. When they pulled into the driveway, Soi parked the car and stalled for a moment waiting for the screaming to end. It didn't, so she went straight to the deck and shouted, "What is going on here?!"
Both of them stopped, looked at Soi, looked back at each other and screamed simultaneously.
"Would… you… STOP… IT!!!" Soi said through clenched teeth.
The two got quiet, and held their breaths. Once Soi got back inside, they both sighed.
"That was scary…" Amiboshi said. Ashitare nodded.

Meanwhile, Herman was still in the park. He had found his dog, and he had Soi's license plate number implanted in his brain. He was going to find his true love.

Tomos was still in the wall. He had some fun with the dust bunnies, actually finding some flakes of his makeup and Nakago's hair in them, but now he was bored. He decided to take an adventure. He was going to wander through the walls and enjoy the sights.
As he crawled up the walls, he came across a nail.
"Ahem!" he cleared his throat specks. "This is a nail!" He was giving a tour to the other inanimate dust bunnies.

Miboshi didn't want to go home. He wanted to make fun of Suboshi, but he didn't want to get pummelled. If he went home, he was sure to get pummelled.

Instead, he went to a club, because he felt like dancing some more.
Unfortunately, the bouncer didn't let him in. And the bouncer had good reasons not to, for we all know Miboshi looks like a demented baby thing. And the rattle didn't help him either.
So there stood Miboshi, facing the big black guy. And it was an interesting sight to see.
Finally the bouncer just picked Miboshi up and called out, "Did anyone lose a kid?"
Surprisingly, some lady complied. She picked up Miboshi and cuddled him, "Oh Marquis!! There you are!! Don't run off again!!"
She shoved Miboshi in a stroller and walked off.
Down the street, a little boy was still calling out for his mama.

Tomos found a nail. It wasn't very pretty, in fact, it was rusted. The tour group decided to examine the nail. It wasn't very sharp, and if Tomos brain was working, he probably would've realised that it was full of tetanus, but he didn't.
So they climbed all over the nail, and by the end of that particular segment of the tour, they had picked up a few more particles.

Suboshi was sulking inside of his room. He was still thoroughly pissed that he had gotten detention. And even worse, the midget wasn't even there for him to tear to shreds.
He was sick of listening to his headphones, so he was just pacing around in his room trying to think of something to do.
His pacing was interrupted by the door. The doorbell rang, and Suboshi flew down the stairs. He knocked over Ashitare who was approaching the door as well.
Not caring who it was at the door, and deciding that they had to be more interesting than nothing, Suboshi whipped open the foor. There stood the short, balding man whom we have come to know as Herman.
Suboshi stood at the door and frowned. This guy didn't look like any fun. "Who're you?'
Before Herman could answer, Amiboshi cried out, "Otouto! Where're your manners? This is a guest! We should invite him for tea!!" As he said that, he grabbed Herman, and pulled him inside.
"But, but…" Herman tried to talk.
"Aniki! We don't even know this guy!!" Suboshi followed the other two to the kitchen, and passed a miserable looking Ashitare.
"That is beside the point!" Amiboshi said matter-of-factly. "He is still a guest!!"
Herman tried to intercede again, yet, again his attempts were fruitless why the brothers bickered. And he found himself sitting at a very tall table with a cup of tea in front of him.
Finally, at a moment of quiet, Herman spoke up. "I am looking for a woman by the name of Notinterestedin Thelikesofyou. Does she, by any chance, live here?"
Both boys shook their heads, and behind Herman walked Soi. She stopped right when she saw him, though.
"Hey Soi," Suboshi said, glad to have someone other than this dorky guest in the room.
Soi was shaking her head furiously.
"We have a guest. This is… otouto, did you get our guests name?" Amiboshi said.
Suboshi shook his head, as Herman told them his name.
Soi's eyes widened, and she was about to leave when Amiboshi picked up again.
"Soi, Herman. Herman, Soi."
Herman turned around and a big grin formed on his face. "NOTINTERESTEDIN!!!" he cried, gleefully, as he attached himself to Soi's legs.
She turned around and scowled at the two boys. She tried to wobble out of the room.
After they left, Ashitare crawled in and started to drink the tea that had been made for Herman.

Soi had given up and collapsed on the couch. Herman was cuddled up against Soi, and he was repeating how grateful he was for her helping him find his dog, and how much he loved her.
Nakago started down the stairs wondering where his master had gone to. As he saw Herman cuddled up against Soi, he started to growl, but then he just whimpered and crawled miserably back to his little bed in Soi's room.

Meanwhile, Miboshi had escaped from the lady, and he was wandering around in the city. He was having a lousy time, and he could not find a place to dance. No one else would let him in anywhere. He was so bored, and as he walked down the sidewalk, he spotted a costume shop.

Will Miboshi ever get to dance?
What's at the costume shop?
What will he buy?
Do I even have the answers?
Do you?
How many licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
What do all the questions have in common?

Their ANSWER!: The world may never know!
