Chapter 4: Tala

"Hey, Tala, what's up with your hair?" Brian asked.

"Well, let me show you through the power of flashback." Tala replied.

(((FLASHBACK)))

A twelve year old Tala walked into his neighbor's house, planning to stay there for the next few hours, babysitting two young boys, Daisuke and Shuichi. Noticing it was fairly quiet, he figured the parents must have already left. 'They never were the best parents. Good employers, though.' He thought.

"Daisuke! Shuichi! Where are you?" Tala called. Within seconds two boys, one blonde and one brunette, came running in. "Who are you again?" the younger blonde asked. "It's Tala, stupid. He lives right next to us." The older said. "Hey! Don't call me stupid, Shuichi!" "Now calm down, you two." Tala said. He looked at the clock. 5:45 pm

"Hey, are you guys hungry?" Tala asked. "Starving!" Daisuke replied. "Well, then let's get some food." Tala said as he walked into the kitchen 'Wait a minute! I can't cook!' Tala thought. 'But I can order a pizza!' He went over to the phone and called Pizza Hut while Shuichi and Daisuke watched TV. After Tala ordered the pizza, he sat down with the other two, expecting a long wait and lots of complaints.

"Where's our food!" Daisuke asked rather annoyingly as Tala sat down. "I ordered a pizza. It will probably take about a half hour before you can eat." Tala replied. " But I'm HUNGRY!" Daisuke replied. "Well get used to it, you'll be hungry for the next 30 minutes." Tala said. "Hey, Daisuke, wanna play basketball outside?" Shuichi asked his little brother. "Sure!" Daisuke exclaimed, running to the backyard. "You're welcome." Shuichi said to Tala as he followed Daisuke. Tala sighed. 'Now what am I going to do?' he wondered. (A/N I promise, I'm getting to the hair thing. I'm attempting to make longer chapters. Besides, I can't just have part of this story, can I? Didn't think so)

-Where Daisuke and Shuichi are-

"I don't like the babysitter." Daisuke said as he attempted to shoot the ball. "Why not?" Shuichi asked. "He seems fine to me." "Because he's letting me STARVE!" Daisuke nearly shouted with a pout, basketball forgotten. Shuichi sighed. "So what do you plan to do about this babysitter? This is the third babysitter this month you don't like." He asked Daisuke. "Well, I've noticed how much he seems to play with that hair of his. I don't think I like it." "What should we do about it?" Shuichi asked with a slight smirk on his face. "Dear brother, must I think of everything? I'm only five years old! You're eight!" Daisuke said, annoyed. "Maybe we could put something in his hair." Shuichi suggested. "No. Too lame. Maybe we could dye it." Daisuke said. "And you call MY idea lame? That is soooo boring." Shuichi replied. Daisuke whispered something in Shuichi's ear. "But I DO like the sound of that." Shuichi said. "We should go back inside."

Daisuke runs back into the house yelling, "FOOD! FOOD! FOOD!" with Shuichi slowly following. Tala, still watching TV, said, "The pizza guy should be here any moment." "What'cha watching?" Daisuke asked, sitting next to Tala as Shuichi wandered off somewhere. "What does it look like I'm watching?" Tala replied. Daisuke thought about it for a moment, then said, "I don't know, but Spongebob's on!" Daisuke replied as he grabbed the remote and changed the channel.

Finally, the doorbell rang. Tala went to answer the door. A few minutes later, he returned with a pizza. "Yes! Food!" Daisuke cheered as he grabbed a slice. While they were eating, the phone rang. Tala grumbled and answered it. He grumbled even louder a couple minutes later as he set the phone down. "Well guys, it seems I'm going to be here until morning." Tala announced. "Okay." Daisuke said, yawning. "I'm tired." "But, Daisuke, it's only 8 o'clock." Shuichi protested. "So? I'm tired. I'm going to bed now." Daisuke announced, going upstairs to his room.

Shuichi sighed. "Well, I guess I might as well go to bed too." He said and, once again, followed Daisuke up the stairs and proceeded to his room. 'Don't they do anything before going to bed. Strange kids.' Tala thought as he went to watch more TV. 'But I guess I shouldn't be complaining. After all, this is the most I've gotten to sit on the job for a long time. Actually, they're being a bit too well behaved. Ah well, their parents won't be here until morning, so I might as well go to sleep.' Tala had already started to let his eyes droop. Ten minutes later, he had fallen asleep.

Unfortunately for him, Daisuke and Shuichi were not asleep.

Daisuke had peeked into the living room, confirming that Tala was asleep. Shuichi had gone to their parents' bedroom to look for anything that would affect Tala's hair, permanently. However, for what Daisuke called 'dramatic purposes', he did it in the dark. Feeling a bottle, Shuichi went downstairs, praying it was something good.

As soon as Shuichi got down the steps, Daisuke grabbed the bottle and ran to Tala's sleeping form. 'I'm going to have to stop listening to little brother's stupid ideas after this is over. He can be so annoying at times.' Keeping this thought in mind, Shuichi watched what happened next.

Daisuke squeezed the bottle and poured some of its contents into Tala's hair. After deciding whatever would happen affected all of his hair, they both ran back to their respective rooms, hoping to be awakened by screams.

And since this is a chapter where I torture Tala, the two younger boys were awoken by Tala's screams.

"WHAT DID YOU TWO DO TO MY HAIR!" Tala yelled as soon as he looked in a mirror. Glancing at Tala, Shuichi replied, " It appears we have dyed your hair bright red." Tala growled, and tried to remember the money he was getting paid for taking on the task of watching the two. He finally decided against beating them up. "You wouldn't hurt us, would you?" Daisuke asked innocently. Tala sighed. "If only I could."

(((END FLASHBACK)))

"That was a really long flashback." Brian commented.

"I know. I think it's longer than anyone else's." Tala said, proud he gets the longest chapter so far.

"So, what's with the wing shape?" Brian asked.

"Well, somehow the twits managed to gets their hands on hair dye with gel. My hair was going to get cut the next day. I must say, though, it does look interesting, doesn't it?" Tala replied.

"Very…err… interesting." Brian said.

A/N Well I've finally updated. People seemed to enjoy having Oliver tortured, so I decided that Tala is tortured by little kids instead of Boris. Also, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed! They mean so much to me! I know a lot of authors say that but it's true! I would have gladly used Death Angel's Shadow's idea for Tala if I hadn't already begun typing this. And I shall end this chapter with a word from our sponsor.

Kai: REVIEW!

Told you it was a word. ; )
