Monday Night Football
***************************************
Disclaimer: I don't own anything! This idea has even been used over and over again, and probably has been done much better than this. But hey! I just thought I'd have a little fun with these guys. Here we go!
***************************************
A ghostly fog slowly clears to reveal an enormous castle, a dwelling fit for a god. Or, in this case, gods. For this is the heavenly home of the infamous four gods of the Earth and Sky. And what miraculous miracles are occurring in this setting…the four celestial beings are gathered around the mystical box that we mortals have come to call a Television…watching Monday night football.
Suddenly, over the deafening roar of the electronic wonder, a soft ping is heard to come from the adjoining room…the kitchen.
"Suzaku!! Your eggs are done!" growled a white tiger from what was left of an overstuffed lounge chair. Claw marks scored the sides, white stuffing poked out of the worn fabric.
"That's not funny. You know that I don't eat eggs." The Phoenix continued to lounge on a couch, watching the game, and not moving an inch toward the kitchen.
"Then what the hell was that ping sound?" Seiyruu, as always, sounded extremely irritated, but that could be due to the fact that his team was losing.
"How should I know?" the bird shot back, his eyes never leaving the screen.
"I'll go look…" The turtle got up off the floor, ever so slowly, and started to walk toward the kitchen.
"No you won't. You'll take so long in getting across the room that you'll forget what it was you got up for. I'll go look." The cat leaped out of the chair, adding yet another mar to the sorely abused piece of furniture. He leaped past the tortoise and into the kitchen.
Suzaku and Seiyruu went right back to yelling at the TV.
The tiger stalked out of the doorway and stood in front of the TV, as to get the others' attention. He held a rather small egg timer in his paw. He held it up to Suzaku as the gods complained about the view block.
"I thought you didn't eat eggs." Byakko's voice rumbled deep in his throat.
"But…I don't." Suzaku looked incredibly confused.
"Then what is this?!?"
"…hmmmm…" Suzaku tapped a feather to his mouth as he tried to remember.
"Will you MOVE?!!" Seiyruu was about to blow his top.
And with a small ping much like that of the egg timer, Suzaku remembered what the egg timer was for. "Oh!"
"That's what tells me when it's time for me to go find a new miko!" Suzaku's face lit up. "This'll be fun! I get to mess with another mortal's life! Yay!"
Seiyruu groaned, "So soon?"
"Your just sore because I beat the stuffing out of you last time. Hmmmm…and the time before that if I remember correctly..."
"Hey, it was a pretty even fight, if you ask me…"
"I didn't and it wasn't." And with that the bird stood up, sneered "and your football team sucks too." He disappeared in a flash of red light and a flurry of feathers.
Seiyruu just blinked away the after-glow and turned back to the TV, smirking. 'He forgot his TV.' He chuckled to himself.
But then a disembodied voice filled the room. "And I'll be taking this back…" And with that the TV also disappeared into the red light.
The dragon jumped off the couch and yelled into the laughter filled air, "Damn you, Suzaku!!! You pink-eyed, feather-dropping, miko-torturing…CHICKEN!"
And we fade out…

Well, that wasn't so bad was it? I thought it was kinda funny but you review and tell me what you think. I actually wrote this before I started on Suzaku no Hikari, so think of it as a test run. If you haven't read Suzaku no Hikari, that's my real fic, so go check it out!
