"The Slingshot is in da house!
*cough* Yep, Khan is so sad he
owns nothing. Nadda. Zip.
Oh and I'm supposed to ask
if anyone knows where a Xiao
Action Figure is.
Now then, less about the disclaiming

-----Author's Note:
"I think I might give Xiao the Disclaimer
part.. Anyway, for those that wanted more
romance, didn't you pay attention
to the end of the last chapter? If not,
all shall be revealed in due time, heh.
(keeping in mind that this is a video game
world.. not.. real.. life..) Oh, and I just
beat the game. Will I change the ending,
or will I explain the last video..? Or will
I allow it to have a tragic ending?
-
----Anyway, I'd like to thank all who've reviewed,
I'm convinced to add atleast one bonus chapter
guarenteed so far = ) I'm still taking suggestions for
what you'd like to see as a bonus chapter, just give
suggestions in yer reviews.

[Part VI; in which Toan and Xiao fight... a box?!]
-
-
-(]Adventure Day 29[)
-
------Ruby yawned, stretching as she got out of
her tent. They'd been at this blasted Muska Luca
place for 24 hours so far, and although most of the
town is rebuilt, it wasn't exactly her kind've place.
-
-----The genie walked over to the other tents to
wake the others up. She stopped in front of Goro's,
deciding it best to let the tub of lard sleep in today
and snuck into Toan's tent instead.
-
------"Aww," she said, "they're so cute.."
------Inside Toan's tent was, of coarse, Xiao.
Who was currently sleeping contently, clinging
to Toan. She walked up to them, her footsteps
awakening Xiao, who yawned groggily as she
sat up. "Just five more minutes.. Xiao's tired.."
------"Sorry, hun, but we've gotta get an early
start today." Ruby said.
------"You still want to leave soon, huh?" Xiao
asked, cuddling the covers around herself. It
was early in the morning, and it was freezing.
------Ruby nodded, then winced a bit as something
reflected light in her eye. She looked down at
Xiao's hand and noticed a shimmering ring.
"Xiao, where'd you get that?" she asked, pointing.
------"What, this..?" Xiao asked, holding her
hand up. "Toan gave it to Xiao." she said with a grin.
"Isn't it pretty?"
-
-----Toan yawned and woke up. "... Ruby.. what're you
doing.. it's six in the morning.." Toan said groggily.
Xiao giggled and slid over to Toan, leaning on him,
resting her head on his chest. "Xiao's cold." she said,
shivering slightly.
-----"Yeah, Toan's cold too." said the young hero,
immitating Xiao's odd manner of speaking as he wrapped
covers around himself and Xiao, cuddling her close.
-----Ruby looked at the ring closer, and noticed which
particular finger it was on.. "Uh, Xiao, you realize
that's your wedding ring finger, right?"
-----"No, Xiao didn't know that. Is that bad?"
-----Toan whispered something in Xiao's ear. "Oh,
Xiao understands!" the feline said. before closing
her eyes again.
-----"Wait, you two got--"
-
-----Goro barged into the room right as Ruby was
about to finish. Toan quickly nodded to Ruby's question
before Goro exploded. "Hey, what's all the comotion about!?
I'm TRYING to sleep!!" he yelled. "You realize that lack
of sleep can give someone a heartattack!? You're
killing me!! I can't live like this!!" The fat dude continued
griping and complaining as he walked into his tent
untill he fell back asleep.
-----"Well, congradulations for being the youngest
couple ever!" Ruby said with a wink as she walked
out of the tent. Toan pulled out a diary, being careful
not to disturb a sleeping feline next to him.

"Adventure day Twenty-Nine,
My life has gone pretty spontaneous now.
One minute I was sitting at home, petting
a cat, the next thing I know I'm married to
her. Ok, that sounded.. disturbing. Just so
you know I mean Xiao. I'm not married to
a house cat, more like a cat girl. It's hard to
explain.
Well, as Ruby said, we're the youngest
couple. I'm, like, 14, and Xiao's about
11. Wish I had a video camera. Maybe I'll
go ask my mom if I can take ours with us for
the rest of the adventure sometime.
... of coarse she's going to freak when she
finds out I'm married...
Guess that's all to write for now.
Wonder where Xiao would like to go
for a honeymoon.."

-=Time: Noon-=
(A/N: For once, I'm actually going to
go into detail of their journeys through normal
boring stages. Enjoy!)
-
-

------Everyone cautiously walked into the
next floor of the Sun&moon temple (although
Sol and Luna would've sounded cooler..); They
had stopped by Ruby's home town to restock,
and, well, things didn't go too well when she went
to visit King. In fact, King's club was frozen over,
and his cherished car was as crooked and bent out of
shape than the legal system by the time Ruby got
through with him. Also, Ungaga was over his
"i'm a worthelss piece of crap" phase and was now
part of the team.
-
-
------As soon as they entered the temple floor,
they met an intersection of three different
paths. "Alright, let's split up." Toan said, sounding
much like a Scooby Doo rerun. "Xiao's going with
Toan!" she said, clinging to him before anyone could
say a word. Ruby giggled. "Guess I'll go a different
path and give you two some privacy." she said as she
began walking down the middle path. "Just don't let
that fat guy follow me.." she whispered to Toan as she
passed. Toan nodded and motioned for UNgaga to follow
Ruby. "Well, Goro, looksl ike you're on your own." Toan said
as he began walking down the left path. Goro grumbled and
walked down the right, muttering "i don't need none of you.."
-
-
-------{"Hey, I see a ring on your finger, Xiao!"} Steve the
babbling slingshot said five seconds later. Xiao nodded
with a grin. "Xiao's married." she replied.
------{"Married!? At your age!? That's politically
incorrect!"}
------"Put a sock in it." Toan said to the slingshot.
------"Put a sock in what?" Xiao asked innocently.
------{"Yes, maybe I do speak too much. But atleast
I humor you all."}
-------"......"
-------"......"
-------{"...... What? I do!"}
-
-
-
-------Xiao reached down and grabbed Toan's
hand, leaning up against his shoulder as they
walked. "Toan... this place is creepy.." she said,
her thin fur standing up as if by static electricity
as her tail twitched nervously back and forth.
Toan slid an arm around her shoulder, kissing
her cheek "I won't let anything happen to you." he
said in a comforting voice as a few mummies began
walking towards them.
-
-------{"Uh, fellas? I hate to break up this
touching, fuzzy moment, but we've got
friends."} Steve said, interrupting the moment.
The other two nodded and stood back-to-back,
slaughtering the monsters with the greatest of ease.
-
-
-((Alright, Writer's Block is rearing it's ugly head. SKip!))
-
-
-=Time: Evening=-
-
-
-
-------Everyone was inside a large crypt area with
a huge eye. Xiao looked as nervous as ever. Ruby was
her usual carefree self. Goro was eating cheese. Ungaga was
looking around warily. Toan was doing the same, while trying
to comfort Xiao, who didn't like this place one bit.
And a coffin arose from out of nowhere, an aura of darkness emitting
around it and creating a makeshift form.
-
-
-------{"Look, it's a big box surrounded by an aura of pure destructive
evil!... I love pointing out the obvious."} Steve said as the monstrosity
began marching towards the group.
-
-----"Goro smash box thing!" the fat hunter yelled, slamming his hammer
into the aura to no avail as he was slammed into a wall with a grunt.
Ruby rolled her eyes. "What a moron." she said as she hurled various
spells at the monster - from a safe distance.
-
-
------{"Hey Xiao, lighten up and watch the fat people fry!"} Steve said
with a chuckle. Xiao sighed as she shot a few unsuccessful shots at
the box. "Say something useful for once, Steve!"
-
-
------Just then, Toan dashed into the coffin. "Take this!" he yelled,
slashing his sword at the blazing aura of shadows, which hurled him
back with insane fury. {"Y'know, what we really need is a good wind
right about now. I'm getting stuffy in here."} Steve muttered as Toan
staggared up. Ungaga looked at the slingshot. "You're a genius!" he
said, as he began twirling his staff quickly at the monster. (That's right
gamers; a story AND a boss strategy guide! And yes, I heartily reccommend
letting Goro get his buttocks kicked! It's fun!) The dark aura was split apart.
Toan growled, dashing up to it, and leapt at it; he stabbed his sword into it, slicing
upwards as he kicked off the coffin, doing a full backwards summersault, using
the sword and himself as a human buzzsaw as he sliced the cursed object in
half; the shattered remaints of the coffin fell to the ground, the aura faded, and
Toan tell face-first into the ground, his sword ricocheting off the ground and flying
away from him. What, you expected him to actually pull off that move perfectly?
-
-
-
-------Toan heard a faint clapping from Xiao as she walked up to
him - er, rather ran - before the feline clung to his arm once more. "Let's
get out of here.." she muttered. Toan nodded and he ran around, sprinkling
revival powder on everyone. In a few minutes, they were all off to the next
and final room. (I know, that battle wasn't long at all, but what can I say
about a fighting box?!)
-
--(Plot Spoilers Ahead)--
-
-
-------Everyone slowly walked around a room with a huge gigantic flying
vessel in the middle of it, it's basic shape looking much like a viking's ship
with cannons on the sides and a dragon head in front, which was the
entrance to the ship with some hovering platforms. "Hunters first!" Goro
yelled, charging up and across the platforms&into the ship with ease.
{"You mean Fatsos First, ya hippo."} Steve commented, causing the others
to snicker. Ungaga and Ruby went next, with Toan and Xiao following
close behind.
-
-----Suddenly, the whole temple began quaking. "O-Oh no, this is not
good!" Toan shouted as he and Xiao picked up the pace, running faster
as pieces of the roof began falling in large chunks, several narrowly missing
our favorite duo. Toan leapt across the first three platforms, Xiao following
with the greatest of ease as huge rocks fell on the ones behind them, shattering
the platforms to pieces and plunging the remaints into the large seemingly endless
pit below. Xiao and Toan both gulped nervously as they hastily leapt to the next
platform, the one they were standing on being smashed by another rock as several
other rocks fell. After a few more leaps, they were almost there; their hearts leapt
as the platform they were currently on began sinking at an alarming rate as the duo
jumped; Toan grabbed the edge of the platform, holding on for dear life as the ship rose
with Xiao cling to his chest, her arms around his back, her claws sunk into him with
panick, causing a bit of blood to escape him in the process.
-
-----{"Ya know, it's times like these I'm REALLY glad I'm attached to
someone when not in use."} Steve commented as the ship rose higher. Toan
started climbing up, Xiao clinging to him as hard as ever. {"I'd hade to
be in you people's shoes, that's for sure--"}
-----"Steve, I'm trying to concentrate here!" Toan said with a grunt, heaving
himself and Xiao over onto the flying boad.
------{"Fine, fine, ignore everyone's favorite slingshot. Bet I'd get a lot
more recognition if I were Super Steve.."}

--(Author's Note: Eheh.. I promise I'll have more romance! Don't kill me!...
Anyway.. There will be spoilers soon. I recently beat Dark Cloud - and
does anyone agree when I say the Dark Genie is pathetic, namely his
final form? - so I'll be finishing up this fic in, oh, two or three more episodes.
Which means.. REVIEW LIKE MAD!! Eheh. Please?
There's atleast one Bonus Chapter to come, I promise; possibly more if
I feel generous. And reviews make me very, VERY generous. Hint, hint,
nudge, nudge--
{"They get the point. Shut up and end the chapter. So I can post it.}
How can you post it? You're a slingshot!
{"Ahah! There's where you're wrong! I'm Steve! The talking--"}
Slingshot.
{"...."}
