"Ryo I'm going to kill you!"
"Huh? What'd I do?" Poor Ryo was the picture of innocence as he dropped his luggage and backed away from the blue-haired Ronin.
"Not now Yaku," Rowen snapped at the growling tiger as he stomped towards Ryo. "You," he jabbed his index finger into Ryo's chest. "You pranked me last!"
"Huh?" Ryo looked even more confused. Completely exasperated by this show of ignorance Rowan threw his hands in the air.
"Well you see Oh Glorious Leader…"

Sometime later the others dared to poke their heads into the room. "Everyone still alive? Good, I'm hungry." That was Kento of course. He made his way through the living room towards the kitchen trailing a complaining Sai.
"Kento! You'd better not eat—Kento!!"
Sage looked from Ryo to Rowen, "Everything all right now guys?"
"Sure," agreed Rowen easily. "Ryo agreed to make me chocolate chip cookies!"
"I did n—" Ryo cut himself off at a look from Rowen. "Uhh, right, yeah I did."
"Well Ryo does make the best cookies," said Sage. "Even better than Sai's."
"I do what?" came Sai's voice from the kitchen.
"Ryo makes better cookies than you!" Rowen yelled back.
"Yeah I know. Is he going to make some?" asked Sai. This time he appeared in the doorway.
"Ryo's making cookies?" came Kento's voice as he appeared next to Sai.
"Yes, yes, Ryo's making cookies: FOR ME!" exclaimed Rowen. "So back off!"
---
The next morning a shriek was hear from the bathroom. "Rowen!!!" Sage's aggrieved shout echoed through the house. Grinning at each other Rowan and Ryo exchanged high fives.
"Time to make our getaway," said Rowen as he backed Mia's jeep out of the driveway.
"What color did you use anyway?" asked Ryo later as the two Ronins kicked a soccer ball around the park.
"Oh it's a natural color," said Rowen. "In fact, I'd say his hair should match this grass!"
---
"Cookie baking time!" announced Ryo. "Shoo!" He flapped his hands at the Ronins eating lunch in his kitchen.
"Yes Fearless Leader," mumbled someone as they cleared their plates.
"Okay, I'll be upstairs reading. Let me know when they're done!" cried Rowen as he left.
"You got it!" said Ryo with a wink behind the other's backs.
"Yo! Rowen! Food's done!" Ryo yelled. "Where is that baka? Head stuck in a book; he wouldn't notice if the house fell down." Ryo stomped loudly up the stairs.
"Sweet!" said Kento. "Now's our chance!" He made a dash for the kitchen followed by Sage and Sai.
"I don't know Kento, those are for Rowen."
"So what? We'll leave him some. Come on we can blame it on Byakuen. Hey Yaku! Here!" Tossing a few cookies to the tiger the three boys started devouring cookies.
"Yum," said Sai. "If Ryo's got one kitchen talent this is definitely it!"
"Uh-oh," said Sage. "Hey guys, look what I just found." Turning around he held up a box marked Laxative Chocolates.
---
At the top of the stairs Ryo and Rowan listened to the cries of horror and laughed. "That'll teach them not to steal other people's food, eh Ryo?"
"Yep, and since I didn't want all my hard work to go to waste, I actually used real chocolate! That box was a fake."
"Oh that's evil! But there will definitely be some left for us!"
