(A/N: YIPEEEEEEEEEE! Chapter 7! Once again, a short chapter cuz the authoress (I.e,ME!) was having a brain fart! Yes I was short on ideas but I didn't let it stop my mad rampage! It also came to my attention of a correction that I have to make in regards to the siblings hair color: Ayato's hair is Mitsurugi Ryoko from Real Bout High School's color and Ayane's is Harada Riku from D.N.Angel's color! In this chapter, a surprise, brief visit from everyone's least favorite Naraku detachment (and if she is, sowwy in advance!) and the joys of agiant mallet! WOOOT! So kick back, relax, and enjoy!)


Ayane continued to sleep on while Ayato started stirring. "Puh-Potay…to…Potato… POTATOSALAD!" he yelled, awakening with a lurch, shooting forward. The Shichinintai stared at the now hyperventilating boy, "Uh…" Suikotsu asked tentatively, "What's…potato salad?" "The most evil thing ever created by human hands." Ayato spat, wiping his brow, "I HATE potato salad." Ayane growled and rolled over in her sleep, giving Ayato a swift kick in the ribs, "Peng'in shuddup…no mouth off to misher turtle…" she mumbled, her reddish hair falling in her face. There was a lot of snickering at Ayane's sleepy dialogue; the figured they should take it where they could get it. Only two minutes later, Ayane woke up with a yawn, "Aaaawwn…wha' timezzit?" she asked drowsily, rubbing her eyes. "Six-thirty." Ayato said, checking his wrist watch. "Six-THIRTY!" Ayane cried, now fully awake, "You what that means!" she asked the entire party. "No. What?" Renkotsu asked foolishly. "It's time for dinner! I'll bust out the beef and buns cuz we're havin' a cookout!" she squealed happily. Riffling around in the bag, she dragged out a live cow (notta typo; LIVE COW!), a gianormous frying pan, spatula, paper plates, plastic forks, sodas, a trash bag for garbage, Worchestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, hamburger buns, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, tomatoes, onions, pickles, lettuce, three large watermelons, a gigantic mallet (and when I say gigantic, I MEAN gigantic) and several bags of chips (could this girl tell me where she bought her bag? I want one!).

"First things first!" she cackled, binding the cow so it couldn't move and taking the mallet in her hands. She swung the mallet high over her head and brought it down on the bovine with a sickening –SPLLAAATT!– creating instant ground beef and sending small tidbits of it splattering onto various members of the Shichinintai as well as her brother, "GLAAH!" "HEY! WATCH IT!" "EEEEEWW!" "GESH!" "AYAA!" "Heh heh heh! Sorry…NOT!"(for all you vegetarians out there, Sorry!) Bankotsu and Jakotsu watched with fascination as Ayane began to make large circular patties with the ground up beef while Ayato made a large fire. "This good, Ayakkun?" he asked. Comparing the size of the fire with the size of the pan, Ayane gave her brother a thumbs up, "Perfecto, bro!" She then splatted one patty after another onto the pan and seasoned them carefully while Renkotsu whispered to Ayato, "Hey…you sure about this?" Smiling, Ayato said, "Hey! 'ts cool! She may not be very serious in many aspects, but one of the few things she does take seriously is her cooking! No one makes a better German Chocolate Cake than her…ah! Makin' myself drool!" Ayato said rapturously, taking our a bath towel and wiping away a waterfall of saliva.

"Yo! Space Case!" Ayane yelled at her brother, "CATCH!" She flipped a burger at him. Taking a bun into his hand he swiftly caught it. "Alllllrighty guys. Ya see all this stuff?" he gestured at all the condiments, and the Shichinintai nodded as one, "All this stuff can go on yer burger to make it taste even better. You can personalize to your own tastes so don't just copy me." And with that, he quickly put his burger together and grabbed several handfuls of chips. "YO! PARTY OF FIVE! HEADS UP!" Ayane shouted. Five patties shoomed through the air at the Shichinintai, They quickly grabbed their buns (hee hee! Not THOSE buns! -Snicker!-) with Renkotsu grabbing two (one for him, one for Ginkotsu) and caught the burgers (that were moving at lightspeed). Following Ayato's advice they prepared their burger and grabbed handfuls of chips and uncertainly started eating.

"DAA-AAMMN! This is great!" Bankotsu cried, shoving the burger into his face, smearing ketchup and mustard everywhere. "MMPHMM-NNPH-MMNANPH!" Suikotsu agreed. Jakotsu, Renkotsu and Ginkotsu were all to busy eating to speak. Ayane fried up several more burgers before sitting down to eat herself. -"Hey bro!"- -"Yeah? Wha' izzit?"- -"I can't wait for dessert!"- -"Got sumthin' special planned?"- -"Heh heh! You could say that."- Ayane smirked through a mouthful of tomato and ketchup. Wiping her mouth, she threw a watermelon into the air, and taking up the mallet once more, screeched loudly, "WHO WANTS DESSERT!" and brought down said mallet with a –KRRSSSHPLTT!- sending chunks of watermelon and rind all over her unsuspecting victims (all save for Ayato, who had ducked behind a tarp he levitated out of the bag). "NYAHAHAHAHA! SECONDS ANYONE!" she cried, bring the mallet down on the second melon. By now, the Shichinintai were laughing and opening there mouths like trained seals to catch the flying fruit pieces. "OH C'MON! I KNOW YA HAVE ROOM FER MORE!" she laughed, as she brought down the mallet on the third. There was a sudden, unexpected gust of wind and a woman in layered kimonos landed in the middle of the mayhem, blowing bits of watermelon everywhere.

"Well, well…goofing off?" Kagura said acerbically, looking down her nose at them. Her eyes were like those found on a white rat and she failed to notice Ayane shaking with rage behind her, "You guys are really something, you know that? Naraku has become irritated by your cheek and-" –BLAAMMMMM!- Ayane brought the mallet down .000000001 mm. away from Kagura (DAMN! She missed!) shrieking, "YOU AIRHEADED BITCH! DIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" "YIEEEEE!" the wind witch shrieked as Ayane chased her down with the mallet, "GET BACK HERE, WINDY BRITCHES! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" "Hey guys?" Ayato said calmly from his spot on the ground. "Yeah?" Suikotsu asked back evenly. "Melon?" he held up some pieces that had been salvaged (they landed on his tarp). For some reason, everyone found this hysterically funny and fell over laughing (Ayane had lost Kagura when the Wind Witch remembered she could fly).


"Well, now we're all sticky. What ta do." Ayane sighed, flopping back on a pile of very squished watermelon. "I know!" Ayaro shouted, "Why don't we…" he began whispering in his sisters ear and a big grin filled her face. She nodded and suddenly multicolored ovals appeared at their feet. "Howdyoudothat!" Jakotsu asked (understandably freaked out). "Telekinesis." Ayane said calmly, levitating one of the red egg-shaped things to her hand, "This…is a water balloon. And this-" –SPLLSH!- Renkotsu sat there sputtering, dripping wet, "-is the start of a water fight! No sides! EVERY MAN AND WOMAN FER THEMSELVES!" There was a mini-typhoon as everyone raced for the balloons and began hurling them at each other in a colorful tornado; in the end everyone was soaked and far less sticky. As he lay on the ground, gasping for air, Bankotsu wondered, "Howizzit that dealing with these two…drains me more than a hundred battles!" "Hee…hee hee…hee hee hee!" Ayane managed a few giggles between breaths, "Man…you guys…I can remember the last time…I had s'much fun!" she sat up and pulled Ayato to his feet, "C'mon bro. Let's go dry off at home." "'kay." "THAT'S IT!" the Shichinintai cried together in disbelief. "Whatcha mean, Banpyon?" "Yer just gonna leave us hangin'!" "Not ta mention sopping wet." Jakotsu added. "Yeah. Pretty much." Ayato said candidly, causing a full-out Shichinintai anime style fall. "But we never said ya hadda stop pallin' around with us!" Ayane called brightly as she and Ayato walked off to the well. The thought of "KILL AYANE" somehow being driven from their minds, they soon followed.
