Saiko and Yahiko were the first ones up. Yahiko began on his chores, because Kauro made a rule- no breakfast until the chores were done. Sai, who was wearing Kauro's clothes, which were a little large on her, watched as he worked.

"Wow, you sure are working fast," Saiko said.

"Kauro makes me work like a dog," Yahiko muttered.

"Im sure she just wants you to learn responsibility" She returned, "Look at it this way, how many boys of your age get to work for their food and rooming, you get to act like an adult"

"I suppose you're right" Yahiko said hesitantly.

The two headed toward the dining room, Yahiko in the lead because Saiko didn't know her way yet. When they reached it Kaoru and Sanosuke were already there, though Sano hadn't sat down yet.

Yahiko sat at the far corner and Kaoru was sitting at the end around the corner from him. Sano sat next to Yahiko, Sai was about to sit down across from Kaoru and around the corner from Sano when, quick as lightning, Kenshin appeared and shoved his way into the gap in-between Sai and Sano. Sanosuke fell on his side, knocking down Yahiko in the process.

The two lay there, dazed, as everyone else ate. Yahiko recovered first and began gorging, Sano recovered just as Kaoru started speaking.

"Kenshin, may I have a word alone with you" She asked politely

"Yes Miss Kaoru," He said with an icy glare at Sano and a reassuring one at Sai, obviously not wanting to leave when both of them were still there. His hesitation was cut short as an agitated Kaoru dragged him by the sleeve to the door.

Soon after, Yahiko bolted off after finishing a good half of the prepared food. Sai was finishing her tea and Sano was still shoving massive amounts of food in his mouth, throwing angry glances at Saiko between mouthfuls.

Suddenly Sai's eyes shot wide open and she squealed. She dropped her teacup, spilling the contents on the floor.

"Now don't go trying to pull another stunt to get everyone mad at me," Sano growled.

Saiko's face was white with terror as she scooted behind Sano. Sano turned to look back at her in confusion, then to the wall, where she was looking.

"What's the matter with you?" He asked, annoyed, "There's nothing there!"

Sano's hand tickled, so he glanced down at the table, where it was resting.

"Hey! A spider!" He laughed, "Where'd you come from little guy?"

Sano stood up and glanced around the room, His eyes rested on the wall above Sai's shaking figure. He spared a glance for her and decided she was seeing ghosts or something of the like.

"There you go little fella " Sano said as he let the spider crawl off his hand on to the wall, "Go be with your friends"

"F-F-Friends?!" Sai managed to stutter.

"Yeah, friends," Sano said, confused, "There's a nest above your head"

With those words Saiko let out a piercing shriek and leaped on Sano's back, all the while screaming as if she was being tortured. She scrambled up onto his shoulders like he was a tree, when she reached there she wrapped her hands around his head and continued wailing.

Kenshin barged in with his sword half drawn, soon followed by Kaoru and Yahiko with wooden swords. The sight that they came upon would be called strange at best and psychotic insane chaos at worst. The trio froze in shock.

The sight that beheld them was a screaming, crying 16-year-old blond clinging for dear life to the head of a tall 22-year-old man who was attempting to pry her hands from his face with out getting close to the spider nest. If he moved closer to the nest she began to scream louder and dig her fingernails into his cheeks therefore making it harder for him to see therefore making him stumble closer therefore making her scream louder therefore disorienting him therefore making him pry harder therefore making her cling tighter therefore making it harder to see therefore.and so on.

"Well, I guess we can assume she's scared of spiders" Yahiko chuckled as Kenshin took the spider nest outside on the tip of his sword and Kaoru tried to comfort a still screaming, crying, and clinging Saiko.
