*~*~*~*~*~*


While Kain and his prodigy where running round Nosgoth looking for Pipehead the said girl was still in his throne room. She finished colouring the Pillar of Balance pink, had drew a picture of a puppy on the Pillar of Conflict and stuffed the remnants of the large stone door into Turel's ears. She was now sitting on Kain's throne absentmindedly swinging her legs while she debated in her head weather she should draw with permanent marker on 'Tutu's' face. It was then that she noticed a funny lady with no legs floating about the room. She had a wilted daisy in one hand and was, with the other, pulling random petals off it.

Funny lady: I hate him. I hate him not. I hate him. I hate him not. I hate him. I hate him not. I hate him. I hate him not. I hat-

Pipehead: Hiya! Hiya! Hiya!

Funny lady: (drops the daisy in shock) Huh!? Awha!?

Pipehead: Achickgud!

The funny lady looked round, Pipehead could see that the lady had only half a face.

Funny lady: Huh? A child?

Pipehead decided to be friendly and waved at the lady, blowing bubbles. The funny lady drifted closer to the sickeningly cute infant.

Funny lady: Hello, little one, what are you doing here?

Pipehead: Burgle.

Funny lady: My name is Ariel. What's yours?

Pipehead recalled a memory of watching a movie with her dada about a similar situation.

Pipehead: Boo!

Ariel was very surprised, there was the cutest little girl she had ever seen in Kain's throne room. This was amazing in it's self, as Kain loathed children, particularly small ones. Also, the child did not seem to be scared of her, the floating ghost woman with no legs and half a face. Despite being dead for err, umm, a really, really long time, she still had the famous trait that a lot of females have.

Going all gooey over babies.

Ariel: Awwwwwww. That is so CUTE! Is your name Boo?

Pipehead: (Nods)

Ariel: Well, aren't you sweet? (tickles Pipehead/Boo under the chin)

Pipehead/Boo: (giggles and tries to say Ariel's name) Awoo. Awill. Wiel.

Ariel: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Cuteness!

Pipehead/Boo: Awww (begins to stroke the skull half of her face) Poor Wiel. Gotta hurta facie?

Ariel: Awww. (picks Pipehead/Boo and begins to swing her around) I knew that I should have tried to convince Nup harder. Kids are great!


Meanwhile, on the other side of Nosgoth, in Dumah's clan territory.

Raziel: (over the snow storm) I don't think it's here!

Kain: (sarcastic) Oh really!

Melchiah: Then can we go somewhere warm then!? My skin's starting to flake and I really like this skin, it's the one I got from Guardian on my deathday!

Raziel: Why don't we go inside!? I'm sure I can get the furnace to work!

Meanwhile Dumah is chasing Zephon again.

Dumah: Give me back my fleece, you twat!

Zephon: It has sheep on it! Oh my god! Sheep! Little fluffy ones! I thought you were a hard nut, Dum-Dum!?

Dumah: Heretic! You shall pay dearly for this insult!

The assorted vamps troop into Dumah's stronghold to try and get warm by the furnace, all except Dumah and Zephon, because Dumah is hitting Zephon over the head with the blunt end of a pointy staff.


*~*~*~*~*~*


Will the vampire's find Pipehead before Nissa comes back? Will they be able to make Ariel give the damn baby back? Will Turel ever wake up? And will Dumah kill his brother Zephon before this fic is over?

(Sigh) We live in hope.
