IMBSA: Here I am, back to terrorize you people again! Mwahahaha!Goh: Er, back from where?
IMBSA: Oh shut up, you. I'm not gonna beat your ass again. I've already gone to jail for that. I don't need another mark-up.

It was a normal day at the Leafe Knights' household. Attacks were flying from Goh, Mannen, and Hayate, breaking things left and right, while the others sat calmly in the middle of the room, oblivious. Yup, it was a totally normal day. Himeno sat in the middle of the group, a vein pulsing angrily in her head. The tinkle of glass breaking and the sound of wounded bellowing was getting to her. Finally, she slammed her fist down on the table (damn near breaking it in half as she did so) and stood up.
"Don't you guys ever shut up?!" She screamed, causing everyone (including the fighting trio) to turn and look at her fearfully. "All your noise is giving me a damn migraine!!! Jeez! I'd bet they can here your bickering on the other side!"
"You weren't the one who got frozen overnight by someone," here he shot a nasty look at Mannen, "so I suggest you stay out of it, Tulip-Head!" Hayate roared back.
"Neither were you, so you should keep out of it too!" Himeno replied heatedly.
"Please, let's not fight." Sasame spoke up, raising his hands placatingly.
"Shut up!" The pair shouted. Sasame opened his mouth to reply when Kei cut him off.
"You'd better do what they tell you," Kei began before Sasame could get himself killed.
"Yeah," Goh put in, having long since sat down to watch the two "go at it" again. Everyone tensed. It was a scientifically proven fact that whenever Goh opened his mouth, he wasliable to make the situation worse. Which, of course, he did. "This is one lover's quarrel you don't want to get involved in." That was it. Hayate and Himeno snapped.
Himeno leapt on him, hands going around his neck as she strangled him Simpsons-style and screamed, "Why you little----" Hayate was at her side, trying to hurt the Leafe Knight of Fire as much as possible.
When the two were finally dragged off, Goh was sheltering in the kitchen,kneeling with a hand in the cutlery drawer. Everyone was quiet, either because their mouths were duct-taped shut and they were duct-taped to their chairs (Himeno and Hayate), or their mouths were too full of food (Hajime, Mannen, and Shin), or they were in too much pain/too incapacitated to speak (Goh, Kei and Sasame). It was as silent as the grave. Finally, Hajime spoke up.
"I wanna go camping," he whined, blue (A/N: Dunno if that's his eye color) eyes scrunched up. He'd been obsessed with camping ever since they'd watched "The Blair Witch Project" the week before. Everyone except Sasame groaned (or at least rolled their eyes in Hayate and Himeno's case). He instead snapped his fingers.
"That's it!" Sasame exclaimed. "Let's go camping!" Everyone stared at him.
"Er, Sasame?" Goh asked cautiously from the kitchen. "Are you ok?"
"Of course I am. I'm just thinking that it would all do us some good to get out of the house." His gaze fell on Himeno and Hayate's duct-taped figures. "It'll cool all of our heads off." The two stared right back at him coolly. Well, Hayate stared back. Himeno started struggling at her bonds, obviously trying to end Sasame's life prematurely. Everyone conspicuously moved 5 inches away from her. Sasame sweat dropped and said, "Riiiiiiight...."
"I can save you guys the trouble." Mannen said cheerily, disappearing to his room. Everyone only had time to exchange bewildered glances before he returned, holding a small box in the palm of his hands. Everybody eyed it dubiously.
"Say, Mannen?" Kei asked. "What exactly is in there and what are you doing with that?" Mannen beamed with an "I'm so glad you asked that" air.
"This is the housing complex of my pet spiders. I have about 30 different spiders from 30 different species." He proclaimed, as a proud father would brag about his prize daughter. Immediately, the Knight of Ice found himself a prisoner of the Evil Duct-Tape of Doom (the authoress had so sweetly given it to Sasame at the beginning of this fanfic) alongside Himeno and Hayate. The spiders were promptly caged and tossed into a dark corner of Leafina.
"So.... Who all's for camping?"

IMBSA: Argh, that was so horrible! : :holds head in hands: :
Knights: O.OU
IMBSA: looks up Oh, sorry. Uh, R & R. Hopefully the next chapter will be better. Warn me if anyone gets a bit OOC. Constructive criticism is welcome, but flames will be treated as the first attack and it will be WAR . I got this idea from the "What Type of Mage are you?" Quiz on Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
