Chapter 2 – It Sounded Like She Was Having An R.O.B
It was mid-morning when K' woke. He stretched his arms lazily and looked idly out the window. So far, he and Kula managed to get along with their housemate (apartment-mate? Whatever!) yesterday. He hoped today will be the same.
He heard the rustle of bed sheets in Kula's room as she stirred in her sleep. He smiled faintly as he remembered their first date. How, after they finished their dinner in a restaurant and checked into a hotel, they'd – His skin prickled at the thought. He tried to push it out of his mind.
Sighing, he closed his eyes again.
And quickly opened them as a blood-curdling shriek cut through the apartment.
"Kula!" he yelled, getting out of bed and pulling on a pair of jeans. "Kula!"
Kula stumbled into his doorway, fumbling with her robe. "Did you hear it too?"
He nodded.
Kula pursed her lips thoughtfully. "It sounded like Eyie."
Another cry of terror.
K' muttered something incomprehensive under his breath, and then he walked over to Kula. "Might as well check on her.. Let's go."
They strode through the hallway towards Eyie's room. As they got closer, they noticed that the shrieks and cries became angry growls and snarls. It was Eyie. It sounded like she was having an R.O.B (Riot Of Blood), which happens sometimes to Iori and Leona.
K' and Kula looked at each other.
"What's going on with her?"
"Don't ask me."
Kula cleared her throat. "Uh.. Eyie?"
The growls and snarls stopped. "…Huh? Yeah?..."
"Are you okay in there?"
"Oh, I'm fine, just fine! Never felt bet – WHAT? AAAAGH! DAMMIT!"
K' raised his eyebrows at Kula. She shrugged.
Before she could stop him, K' turned the knob of door to Eyie's room and strode inside.
What they saw made them stare in disbelief.
Eyie, dressed in pajamas, was twitching and twisting around, holding a controller in her hands. She had a sort of psychotic look on her face. In front of her were a T.V. and a PS2. On the T.V. screen was a giant centipede.
She was playing "Resident Evil Zero"!
Kula started to say something, but Eyie, her eyes still glued to the screen, said, "Later. Just one more scenario…"
"Uh – okay, we're going out now.."
Eyie just nodded her head.
K' and Kula went out to the hallway and shut the door gently behind them.
The moment the door was closed, K' snorted, then started to snicker.
Kula looked questioningly at him. "What?"
"That look on her face… It reminds me of K9999 when I beat him at the 2001 KOF tournament.."
She grinned. "The same crazy, goofy glare?"
"Yeah."
"So I noticed." Laughing, they went into the kitchen.
To be continued…
Ehehehe.. This idea just hit me today, and I decided to write it down. If ever there is a game that can make me fly into a rage, it's Resident Evil Zero. That game is hard!
