I'm sorry this chapter is so short, I don't have any time or inspiration. Hopefully there will be more soon…
Chapter Four
Atsune's mind-trips/seemingly drug-induced dreams were about to come to an end. By this time her body was screaming in protest at being still so long. For someone on an eternal sugar high, laying immobile for two hours was pure torture. Not to mention unnatural.
Atsune groaned and opened her eyes to see that Anubis was on watch. She blinked blearily at him.
"Feeling better?" he asked.
She shook her head, than her eyes widened and she turned a lovely shade of green. She clapped a hand over her mouth and leapt from the sofa, landing ten feet away and sprinting to the bathroom.
Anubis sat gaping, his mouth opening and closing but no sound coming out. He looked like a dying fish. So when the others walked in, they all had themselves a nice laugh at Nubi's expense. Until…
"Woah, do NOT go in there!" Atsune emptied the whole can of air freshener into the bathroom and slammed the door. All the color drained out of Cye's face as he realized that, whatever it was, HE would be cleaning it up.
"Are you alright now?" Sage asked, getting over the initial shock.
"Yeah! And now I'm hyper!"
"More than usual?" Kento mumbled.
"Oh, you saw me at my most sedate…" Atsune said, cocking her head and smiling.
Insert mental screams of agony here.
Atsune bounced outside and scampered up a tree. Rowen wandered outside after her, trying to find Atsune before she did something disastrous.
She jumped out of the tree, intent on pouncing on him. Luckily for Rowen, his senses were very good, and he whirled and caught her in his arms. Ryo was standing in the doorway, scratching White Blaze behind the ear.
"Rowen, you dog." He grinned.
"Ryo, do us all a favor and shut the hell up." Atsune shot back.
Ryo pressed a hand over his heart like one mortally stricken. "I'm hurt! I may never recover!"
