I hope many blessings rain on Chaka, Cyran, and Kiki for reviewing. If anyone out there decides to capture a Hell-Kitten, just keep in mind that all of them have poisonous fangs and claws, along with the ability to breathe fire. Anyway, here's a new chapter.

Chapter 10: Sleepover at Katz's House

"So how are we going to get to your house, Katz?" Sephiroth asked, staring at the wizard's vacuum cleaner. "I don't think that we'll all fit on that thing."

"Don't worry, you're all going to ride on my magic carpet," the tiny mage replied.

"Magic carpet? Do you really have one?" Sesshomaru wanted to know.

"No, I don't…" Everyone fell over simultaneously and performed the infamous anime sweatdrop as Katz continued to speak. "I don't have a magic carpet, but if one of you has a carpet, then I can enchant it so it can fly."

"Ooh! I've got one!" Nightmare cried, reaching down his pants again.

Much to everyone's surprise, the dark knight pulled out a large tapestry of ornate design, and proudly waved it through the air. "You can use this!"

"That's not a carpet; it's a tapestry," Kaiba growled.

"It doesn't matter," Katz told them. "It's carpet-like, so I can make it fly."

Cloud tapped Kilik on the shoulder and asked, "Where does he get all that stuff? First, a demon arm, then a rope, and now a tapestry: how does he manage to fit it all in his pants?"

"How the hell should I know?" the monk shrugged, "Every time I ask him he just tells me a bunch of nonsense about a magic pocket."

"I want a magic pocket!" Mitsurugi whined.

"You can't have one, so there!" Nightmare snapped, sticking out his tongue at the samurai.

The two childlike warriors immediately started fighting, and Squall sighed, "Katz, can we please go now?"

"No problem!" the mage grinned, raising his hands to the sky. "INKLE, HINKLE, FINKLE, DOO!"

"Man, he really needs to get a better incantation," Joey muttered, as a bolt of white light struck the tapestry, causing it to float above the ground.

Everyone climbed aboard the magic carpet, Katz boarded his vacuum cleaner, and they all flew away into the crimson light of the setting sun, leaving the arena behind.

A little while later, the group arrived at the wizard's house, where his mother awaited on the front porch. "Boy, where the hell have you been?" she yelled. "You know better than to run around all day without telling me where you're going to be!"

"I'm sorry, Mom," Katz muttered, staring at the ground.

She stopped and stared at her son's captives. "Who are these people, son?"

"They're my prisoners, and they've been good today, so I was wondering if they could spend the night?"

A huge, fang-filled smile spread across her face, and she said, "Of course, they can, child!" She waved them all toward the door. "Come in, come in!"

Katz and his mother walked inside, and everyone else eyed the house skeptically, but followed the wizard inside. The inside of the home was well kept, and there wasn't a speck of dirt to be found. "Wow, this is a really nice house…um, what do I call you, ma'am?" Vincent asked.

She chuckled and said, "You can just call me Mom."

The ex-Turk flinched and said, "Okay…Mom."

Mom smiled brightly. "All of you can call me Mom. Except for you," she said, pointing at Auron. "You can call me Sylvia."

"Uh, right," the guardian coughed uncomfortably, turning to Katz. "So, where are we sleeping tonight?"

"You can worry about that later," Sylvia told them. "Dinner is ready, so all of you can eat now."

She led them all to the kitchen, where various bizarre-looking dishes sat steaming on the table. "Oh wow!" Zell joyfully cried, "It sure looks good…um, Mom."

"Go ahead and dig in," she replied, grinning at the boy's exuberance.

Everyone ate in silence, except for Zell, who was quite noisy and wolfed down his food like a starving man. "Jesus Christ, Zell! You act like you're starving to death!" Squall griped, appalled at his fellow SeeD's lack of manners.

"I can't help it if her food is delicious! Besides, I haven't eaten anything since I Devoured that strange little frog-man yesterday!"

"Oh, you poor baby!" Sylvia cried, hugging Zell's head, "You sit right there and eat all you want."

"Wow, thanks!"

Everyone else hurriedly finished their meals, and Katz started to lead them upstairs, but his mother barked, "Boy! They haven't had their dessert yet, so you hold your fucking horses and wait!"

"But…but…" the wizard began.

"No buts! Don't argue with me or you're getting a spanking!"

His mother left the room, and Sephiroth said, "Aw is widdle Katz afraid of his mommy?"

"Shut up, Sephiroth!"

"Hey, I don't blame you; your mom's a psychotic bitch!"

"Don't call my mom a bitch, you fucking queen!"

Sylvia walked back into the kitchen, set down her creepy green cake, and screamed, "Katz! What did I tell you about watching your goddamn language? Am I going to have to take you over my checkered apron?"

"No, Mother," he sighed, staring at the floor again.

"Mama's boy," Sephiroth snickered under his breath.

"Kiss my ass!" Katz yelled, rounding on the silver haired villain.

"That's it!" Sylvia left the kitchen again, and returned in a black and white checkered apron, with a black B and D paddle in hand. "You're getting a spanking, young man!"

She beat her son, and when Sephiroth started laughing, she snatched him up by his silver hair, took him over knee, and spanked him, too. That, in turn, set off a chain of events that ultimately ended with everyone getting a spanking, except for Auron, who was highly disturbed by the whole ordeal.

"Now all of you can go to bed!" she shrieked, and then smiled at Auron. "You don't have to go to bed. You were the only one who behaved, so you can stay up and watch movies with me."

"No, that's quite alright," the swordsman replied, faking a huge yawn. "I'm really tired, so I think I'll go to bed, too."

Then they all hurried to Katz's room, where they quickly locked the door and hoped that they wouldn't have to deal with Sylvia for the rest of the night. "I don't see why I had to get a spanking," Sesshomaru grumbled, "I'm a centuries-old demon, and we're not supposed to be spanked by someone's mother!"

"At least she's not trying to hit on you," Vincent told him.

"You're right," the demon replied, placing his new monster hand on Auron's shoulder. "For a human, you're extremely brave, and I bid you good luck in escaping Sylvia's attentions."

"Gee, thanks," the guardian sardonically replied, suppressing a shudder.

Katz waved his hands, muttered an incantation, and several squashy red sleeping bags appeared on the floor. With another flick of his wrist, a cloud of darkness surrounded him, and when it vanished, the wizard was clad in undersized Batman pajamas. "Okay everyone, we've got a big day tomorrow, so we should try and get some sleep."

A few hours later, Yugi started crying in his sleep, and accidentally woke up Sephiroth and Cloud. "Hey, what's wrong with you?" the spiky haired hero asked, shaking the duelist.

Suddenly, Yami took control of Yugi's body, and said, "He's having a nightmare about…that."

"Oh, that's terrible!" Sephiroth cried, glowing green eyes filling with pity.

"He's going to wake up now, and I haven't dealt with anything like this before, so I hope that you two can help him," the pharaoh told them.

"We'll do our best," Cloud promised.

Yami relinquished his control of Yugi, and the little duelist awoke with a small scream. "Hey, Yugi, are you okay?" the ex-experiment asked, his voice filled with concern.

"I…I keep dreaming about that fight with Seymour, and I…"

Finally, the boy's violet eyes filled with tears, and he broke down in silent sobs. In an uncharacteristic act of compassion, Sephiroth put a fraternal arm around Yugi's shaking shoulders, and said, "Hey, that wasn't your fault! Seymour was a creep, and you gave that bastard exactly what he deserved!"

"But what if my hair hadn't attacked?" Yugi demanded. "If it hadn't, then…"

"Then Sephiroth, Auron, and I would have jumped in!" Cloud interrupted, his blue eyes filled with anger. "And if Katz tried to stop us, then we'd have killed him and stopped the fight anyway!"

"Yeah, so don't worry about it. That sorry son of a bitch won't come back, and if he does, we'll kill him again!" the One Winged Angel said, trying to be reassuring.

"Wow, thank you!" the little duelist exclaimed, genuinely touched by their concern.

"No problem!" Cloud told him. "Now let's get some sleep."

Later, Katz started to talk in his sleep, and woke up Kilik, Nightmare, and Mitsurugi. "Oh, Princess Muumuu…" the wizard mumbled, "You're so beautiful and sweet…"

"Uncle Kilik, is he talking about the scary lady?" Mitsurugi whispered, overcome by curiosity.

"Yes, he's talking about the scary lady, Mitsurugi, now go back to sleep."

"Why does he think she's nice? She was really mean to Carrot-Head, and she beat him with her sparkly stick!" Nightmare was confused.

"I don't know! He's just weird, I guess."

"If he likes her so much, then why doesn't he marry her? I don't want to marry the scary lady!" the samurai whined.

"Just shut up and go to sleep, damn it!" the monk growled. "I don't want to have to take Kali Yuga to your thick skulls to get you two to behave!"

"Okay, we'll be good Uncle Kilik," the disturbed fighters replied.

The three Soul Calibur warriors attempted to go back to sleep, but couldn't, due to Katz's incessant muttering about Princess Muumuu.

Okay, I know that this chapter probably wasn't as good as the others, but I fought my way through a hellish writer's block to write it, so be happy for me! Well, review and good luck capturing a Hell-Kitten.
