Luna-Blu: I'm back!
TK: And I'm fired!
Guru-Guru: ...
TK: ...from being a muse.
Guru-Guru: Blu finally realized that you suck?
TK: -glares-
Luna-Blu: Sadly, my new muse has a terrible sense of direction, so he wont be in this A/N.
Guru-Guru: You didn't pick Ryoga, did you?
Luna-Blu: Yeah, your point?
Guru-Guru: Readers, beware.

Inner Demons

Chapter 7
Day Eleven: 11:00 AM
Takeru's POV
The Middle of the Sea

"It's official, I hate water."
Majora let out a loud snort of laughter. "Don't tell me you're sick too? Your double hasn't stopped since we set off."
"You're not helping."
"Just get over your fear of water when we get to the main land. The last thing I need is a stinky husband."
Kimiko came up behind us just as we hit another wave. I quickly sagged over the railing, making the girls give sickened groans. "They really are like brothers, aren't they?" Kimiko asked Majora over my own noise.
"I was just saying the same thing!"
"You know," I snapped, wiping my chin, "I can still hear the two of you." Giggling, the two waved goodbye before heading off to Din knows where on the rocking hellhole.
"They giving you a hard time too?" TK slumped onto the railing beside me. I nodded.
"Do you hate water as much as I do now?"
"Yup."
"Wanna go push the girls in?"
"Do they know how to swim?"
I flashed him a knowing grin. "They'll learn fast."
"Sounds great to me."

Majora's POV

"What the hell did you two think you were doing?!" I screamed, leaving a trail of water on the deck. Kimiko was leaving a trail of her own just behind me.
"Oh, come on, it was just a bit of fun!" gasped Takeru between...well, you know what it was between.
"Doesn't it sound like it would be fun to lock those two in a small closet, Kimiko?" I asked.
"But...but we're seasick!" yelled TK.
"I know."
"We'll behave! We promise!" they both shouted at the same time. I opened my mouth to say something, when someone started yelling behind me.
"Look at this mess!" The four of us turned around to see Gonzo. "There's water all over the deck, and I don't think I wanna know what that was down in the galley!"
"Umm...sorry 'bout that," gasped TK from the edge of the deck.
"Hey, maybe you two should to lie down, and umm..." He thrusted buckets into the arms of the guys. "Take these with you. Just in case." He then turned to us. "Why are you two...? They didn't, did they?" I gave him a stone cold glare, one I knew was being backed up by Kimiko. Letting out a loud burst of laughter, he called one of his men to get us some towels. "The, uh, broom closet is down the hall from your rooms," he whispered before walking off to check something else.

7:00 PM

The sun had set, and night came fast. Bundled up in our own blankets, Kimiko, sword boy, and I stood on the deck of the ship. Luckily for the boys, the sea had become calmer. Unluckily for Takeru, I still hadn't forgiven him.
"Here's your cocoa, dear." I turned around to see Takeru holding two steaming mugs.
"Thank you."
"Hey!" Kimiko whined, "where are ours?"
"Yeah!" sword boy agreed.
"You two have legs, get them yourself." The two kids glared at me, but moved from the railing and down into the kitchen.
"Am I forgiven?" I glanced up at Takeru, who was giving me the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.
"Maybe."
"Aww."
"Don't push your luck, I know where the broom closet is."
"Eep!"

Guru-Guru: Well, that was fun.
Luna-Blu: Where the hell is he?
TK: Blu, he's not coming.
Luna-Blu: Goddessesdammit.
Asako: He's probably in Tokyo.
Luna-Blu:...I wouldn't mind getting lost in Tokyo...
Ryoga: -falls through the roof- Whatdi miss?

Update 1-26-05: Sadly, Inner Demons has been discontinued. The start of the story was decent, but it began to go nowhere, so the last three chapters are gone for good. A true ending is in place, but for this alternative, you'll just have to make up your own ending. Blu and I are both sorry to just drop this, but we were stuck and we both felt that it was time to let this go. Well, if you haven't already, go check out the real ending of the series, "Peace at Last"!
