A Cliché at a Different Point – part 4 of 10 – Rascal's

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From last chapter…

-"Tired?" Kai asked

Takao nodded and gave away a cute little yawn, snuggling down into Kai's chest once more. Rei and Kai took them too the rooms for a nap, which they decided they needed too. A few hours later two eager chibi's woke up and decided that it would be fun too play without the grownups, and sneaked out off the rooms not waking the two guardians up…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-"What do you want too do Maxie?"

Max looked around the living room and spotted the kitchen.

-"I'm hungry."

Max stomach rumbled and Takao's followed pursuit.

-"Yeah… me too let's eat."

They got in too the kitchen and looked around for food. Max took out a chair and pushed towards the bench and used it as a ladder too get too the cupboards, while Takao pulled open the refrigerator. Max opened up the most cupboards checking and taking out what he thought look interesting.

He took out a can of beans and saw the picture of a bean and made a disgusted grin and dropped it on the floor. After a while the floor and bench looked like war zone from different groceries, input a flour bag that had tripped over and fallen down making the room look foggy. Takao on the other hand had pulled out a bag with chicken leftovers and some pudding.

The vegetables where roughly tossed at the floor. Takao hated when Kai forced him too eat them. He was too short for reaching up too the table so he put the plates on the floor and the boys started eating. Luckily the chicken was plucked from the bones. (No bones too choke on)

(Imagine children eat chicken with their hands and then pudding. Sticky)

When they were done it locked like the boys clothes had eaten just as much as them. Soaked in chicken and pudding they soon discovered that they could paint on the walls with their bare fingers. Max draw kittens everywhere and Takao had drawn an evil looking clown.

-"Max… why are you drawing kittens? Is it because 'Dracula' looks like one? Ha ha… you like him"

-"So? You like the 'meanie clown'."

-"I do not."

-"Do too."

-"Not!"

-"Do!"

-"Not!"

-"Do!"

-"Not!"

-"Do!"

-"Not!"

-"Do!"

-"Not!"

-"Yes you do. And I can proof it."

-"How?"

Max pointed at the drawings that Takao had made. Takao pouted and tried too wipe the drawing away but it only smeared a little. Max smirked and Takao stuck out his tongue. When they where finished drawing they looked around for more things too do. Takao shone up and dragged Max with him towards the Rei's room. (Kai and Rei slept in Max room.)

-"What are you doing Takao?"

-"Let's dress out."

That's was all Max needed too hear for shining up just like Takao. Max started too check Rei's drawers while Takao went dashing too Kai's room. They had the perfect plan: To dress like their heroes. (Guess who )

Max dug threw the bottom drawer and found one of Rei's blue shirts. He took it on and also put on one of Rei's tunics. (Don't know what's it called.) Off course them where too big and long. But when Max looked around he found himself a sawing kit…

with a scissor… and promptly cut them out at the floor. Now it looked like a dress. Happy with that he opened another drawer and saw one of Rei's bandanas. He took it on and the ends barely hang an inch from the ground. He found a piece of black yarn in the basket (the sawing kit) and plaited a ponytail for himself, and fastened it too the bandana. He also noticed a marker and draw whiskers on his cheeks too lock more like a kitten. He also found a pair of plastic fangs one of the kids had forgotten.

He turned around when he heard Takao come in. He giggled at the sight. Takao where'd one of Kai's shirt's (and what they are called I have lesser clue of) that where a little too long. He had found another pair off armguards that kept sliding off his small arms. He had also found another scarf and face paint. The paint was a little here and a little there but you could see who he mimicked.

-"Nice Takao… but the 'meanie clowns' scarf isen't that long."

-"I know but he don't have any shorter"

-"I have a scissor…"

(Imagine Kai's face when he realises that someone has cut his precious… scarf into smithereens. Keep that in mind) So Max gave Takao the scissor and he cut both the shirt and the scarf shorter. Now they were ready.

-"Hmmm… we should copy their ways too."

Max locked at Takao who nodded. Max stood a little broad legged and made a grin where one off his fangs showed. Takao laughed before he recomposed himself and leaned up to a wall, crossed his arms, shut his eyes and said 'Hn' in the most annoyed voice he had. Both Max and Takao made out different poses and laughed so the tears fell.

-"That was fun… what do they do more?"

Takao asked Max. Max thought hard on that one.

-"Now I know. They blade."

Both the rascals get their blades.

-"Shouldn't we go out Takao?"

-"No… 'meanie clown' said that he didn't want me too go out without him."

-"So you do like him. Or else you wouldn't listen."

-"Hn."

-"See…"

-"I'll show you who likes who. Besides 'meanie clown' is better then 'Dracula'."

-"Take that back. 'Kitten' is better."

-"Kitten? He he… you like Reei, you like Reei…"

-"Quiet and blade…"

-"Okay. 3… 2… 1…"

-"LET IT RIP!!"

Both boys launched their blades at the floor in the living room. The blades crashed into each other and flew back landing a bit apart. They rushed under chairs, tables and the sofa up in the bookshelf… everywhere. Soon Max called out Draciel dashing into Takao's blade almost knocking the table over (a big table of oak in the middle off the room) Takao then decided too call forward Dragoon… and a storm attack. That however knocked the table over… along other things. This also made the sleeping boys wake…

-"What the… Rei what's that noise?"

-"I don't know… it sounds familiar though. Where are the boys?"

Kai and Rei gave each other a terrifying glance. They dashed out off bed and in too the living room only too getting a heart attack of the sight… the messy sight. Rei where about too go in-between when he noticed that Kai didn't follow and gave him a look. Kai stood there gaping in disbelief… then he screwed up his face (Remember where I told you too imagine Kai's face. Re-imagine it now.) and shouted…

-"My scarf…"

Both the duelling boys stopped and saw Rei holding Kai back from his death glare at Takao. Max and Takao yelped and sprinted for the bathroom and locked them self in. Rei lost his grip of Kai ho dashed forward and banged the door.

-"Open up you little rascals. What have you done too my scarf Takao?"

-"None off your bisness sourpuss."

Kai went from angry red too angry red plus smoke coming from the ears.

-"Calm down Kai."

-"Calm down? Calm down? He has cut my scarf in two. MY scarf."

-"It's only a scarf Ka and besides their chi…"

-"Only a scarf? Well it's maybe only a scarf but its mine scarf and I want it back. Takao open up."

-"Kai you're scaring them. That's not a way too get chibi's out off a room they have looked by their self."

-"Then Dranzer can trash it down. No wait I'll do it myself."

-"Kai… don't break anything, where only ren…"

-"They have broken everything else so they're will not be any difference."

-"Kai calm down. Let's go and clean up and let them come out when their ready."

-"We are in the room cleaning when you're ready too come out."

Rei took Kai that had calmed down a little, very little, and they went for the rooms too clean. When they were almost done Kai felt something tug at his leg and looked down at Takao's messy face. He narrowed his eyebrows and opened his mouth but heard Rei hawk and closed it again. Takao tugged his leg again and held out Kai's two scarfs that he had tried too saw back together with safety pins. Kai let out a sigh and lifted Takao up and looked him in the eyes.

-"Shall we go and get you cleaned?"

Takao nodded and Kai took him too the bathroom too bath. Rei had found Max hiding behind the couch and lifted him up. He brought him too the kitchen.

-"Hungry?"

Max nodded and Rei made a couple off sandwiches for all off them. He smiled at Max.

-"What are you suppose to be? Me?"

Max nodded blushing and Rei laughed.

-"That's cute. But don't cut in my clothes anymore ok?"

-"Kay."

-"That's good."

While they were eating Kai and Takao bathed. They sat faced towards each other Takao between Kai's legs. Kai had a soft towel they used before too wash Takao's face. He smiled a little at the face paint and felt good inside that Takao wanted too look like him. He shrugged it off and locked at Takao. Takao had held his face down and Kai could see small tears fall on his cheeks.

Kai sighed and stood up taking Takao with him too the towels and draped one over his hips and the dried Takao with the other. He curled him up in his arms and carried Takao into hi room (Takao's) and got out one of his shirts to sleep in. He then swat place with Rei who took Max for the bathroom while Takao and Kai ate. Rei washed Max carefully for getting those whiskers off without hurting him.

Which is difficult because he must scrub for taking the away. He took out Max dried him and put on one off his shirts. (Rei's) Max looked a little too sad for Rei's liking, so he stared tickling Max's sides which made him squeak and start giggling. Max laughed out loud and suddenly yawned big and fell down on the pillow sleeping.

(They sat on the bed ok.) Rei stared fascinating as a purple aura surrounded Max's sleeping for and aging him too a 9 year old Max. Rei heard Kai head for his room with Takao and sneaked out off the room quiet.

-"Hey Kai. Max just turned 9. How's Takao?"

-"His still a chibi."

-"Well Max fell a sleep and turned so he maybe needs too sleep."

-"That's just it. Takao fell asleep but is still a chibi."

-"Hmm… we can ask Mr. Szalinski tomorrow. Sleep well."

-"Yeah goodnight."

Rei returned too his room and left Kai looking down too Takao with worried eyes.


-"What if he's not turning back?"
