(A/N: I'm baaaaaack! Sorry it took s' long! I'd like to thank Bill Engvall and RahabsRehab for the ideas and to all my reviewers...BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG HUGGLES! ((SMOOOOCHIES!)) Read on, my peeps!)
Ayane was giggling to herself, rocking back and forth on the balls and heels of her feet, smiling evilly. Jakotsu stared at her strangely, "What's the deal?" She continued snickering, and looked at Jakotsu, an wicked gleam in her eyes, "Watch this!" She pulled out a sheet of bubble wrap and walked behind Renkotsu, whom ever since that little incident with the firecrackers, had been permanently traumatized and fearful of loud popping noises. (it had served as a source of great entertainment for The Color Family) She rolled out the bubble wrap on the floor directly behind him and jumped high into the air.
POPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP!
"YAAAAUGH! THEY'RECOMIN'TAGETME!" Renkotsu screeched, flying off the sofa and running for cover in another room. Ayane laughed hysterically, rolling around on the floor. In the next room, Ayato was lounging on the sofa when Renkotsu ran in on him, not missing a beat, he reached under him and lit the fuse of the firecrackers and threw them at the frantic man.
POPOPOPPPOPOPOPOPOPPPOPOPOPOPOPOPPOPOPOP!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! KEEPAWAYENMADAIOH! KEEPAWAAAAAAAY!" He howled, shooting into another room. Ayaki glanced up from her trashy romance novel and blew up a paper bag.
POP!
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" Renkotsu shrieked, darting into Ayane's bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind him.
"Aaaaahhhh…that was fun!" three voice chorused as the doorbell rang.
It was the Color Family's Cross-the-Street-Neighbors (WOO! That's a mouthful!), The Higurashi's.
"Hi, Ayaki! How was Louisiana?" Takara (Kag's mom) asked. "Fan-freakin'-tastic!" Ayaki supplied, "And to what do I owe this visit?" "Well, we've decided to go on a five day trip to America to see Disney World in Orlando." "We're going to take pictures and torment Kagome with them." Sota jumped in. "Yes, and we wanted know if you could take Buyo." Yoji (Kag's grandpa) said pointedly. Ayane and Ayato's ears perked up at this and they popped there heads into the room and exchanged wicked smiles with their mother before for saying in unison, "We'll do it."
Bankotsu was currently lying on his stomach in the living room, watching T.V. with Suikotsu. It was a How To Train Squirrels To Water Skii demonstration and they were right at the part were the trainer was being attacked by a giant hoard of rabid, radioactive members of the species while a girl with an evil aura in the background, with what appeared to be a spork in a Surgeon General's uniform at her side, laughed maniacally, when all of a sudden, something tickled his nose.
"HATCHOO!"
"Bless you." Suikotsu growled, not diverting his eyes from the screen. Bankotsu rubbed his nose, "What was that all about?" he thought, puzzled. He redirected his focus to the T.V.. The girl with robin's egg blue hair and red eyes spun around in circles screaming, "PEPTOBISMOL! ITTASTESLIKEPINK!" goading the squirrels on. He did his best to focus, but the tickle returned, stronger than ever.
"HATCHOO! HATCHOO! HATCHOOO!"
"Are you alright Big Brother?" Suikotsu asked, giving him a look. "Hugh…yah, um fahn." Bankotsu replied, grabbing a tissue and giving his schnozz a sharp blow. He then noticed an irritation along the skin of his arm. He scratched it, but the prickle traveled up to back. Soon he was one massive itchy, sneezy, snotty, hive covered mess and he was wondering what the hell was going on when he heard the, "Prrrrowrr?" and felt the soft fur wind itself around his ankle, which automatically became one, giant rash.
He looked down at the overweight feline and ran screaming into the only other room in the house with a lock, Ayaki's bedroom.
Ayane laughed her ass of and Ayato and Ayaki fell off the chairs the were sitting on and pounded the floor with their fist on the floor. Wiping away a tear, Ayane said, "Seriously though, all joking aside, we better send one of those idiots out to get medicine fer Banpyon. I mean, that bad a reaction from just one cat?" "Yer right."Ayaki sighed. "Too bad we couldn't get any pictures." Ayato huffed. "Hey! Suikotsu! C'mere!" Ayane called, beckoning to the mentally unstable man. "Whaddya want? I know how you operate. I'll stay right here until I know all the facts, thank you very much." He called back, not looking away from the T.V. as the girl sat on the announcers shoulders and played his head like a drum.
"Damn!" they thought.
"Cool yer jets! We just want you ta go to the pharmacy ta get Benadryl for Banpyon's allergies, YEESH!" Ayane said, tossing him some money. He gave them a calculating look and stuffed the money down the front of the shirt the had bought him, calling for Ginkotsu.
Jakotsu was walking down the street, his arms laden with groceries that he had been talked into buying by Ayato. He entered he house and was greeted buy, "OOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The food was swooped from his arms as he was swarmed by teenage girls. One had chin length brown hair with blue streaks framing the face and dark brown eyes, one had shoulder blade length maroon hair with amethyst streaks and bright green eyes, one had curly blonde hair with orange streaks and hazel eyes and the last had bright pink hair and blue eyes. Ayane walked in and grinned malevolently, "Ahhh…Jakotsu…I see you've met my friends, Aoi (blue streaks), Murasaki (purple streaks), Kirika (blondie) and Houki (pinky). Girls?…this is Jakotsu." The circled in tightly around him like vultures, and Ayane just leaned back all she needed to do was implant the idea in her sugar charged friends minds and give them a video camera and she could lay back and relax this time (it was only a matter of time before her you-know-what hit, so she was feeling a little tired). "Hey guys?" She called, "Doncha think his look's a little…yesterday?" She inwardly gagged for even saying it aloud but continued as their eyes lit up and Jakotsu's face filled with panic, "You know what I think he needs?" The girls wriggled like puppies and shrieked, "MAKEOVER! WEEEE!" "NOOOOOOOOO!" Jakotsu howled as the girls strung him up and Ayane handed them a video camera. "Be sure to get every thing!" she called as the screams faded away.
Meanwhile, back with Suikotsu, he had just managed to find the pharmacy. He parked Ginkotsu and said, "Look, I'll be in out and done, so don't move, 'kay?" "Gesh!" Ginkotsu responded with a nod. Suikotsu, thinking everything would be fine, turned and entered the drugstore. Ginkotsu, now alone, wondered what that blue sign in front of him was for. It had a little picture of a man drawn in white. Ginkotsu cocked his head to the right and stared at it when he sensed movement behind him and felt himself being lifted into the air.
Suikotsu ran outside, medicine in hand and noticed Ginkotsu's absence and the man in blue standing where the tin man had just been parked, looking very disgruntled.
Suikotsu stormed into the house, Benadryl in one hand, ticket in the other, Ginkotsu looking very shamefaced trailing behind him. "Good ya got the Benadryl…and a parking ticket." Ayato said when he saw the slip, "50,000yen for parking in a Handicap spot?" "How was I supposda know?" Suikotsu roared, throwing Ayane the antihistamine and marching back to the living room. "Don't worry, Ginny." Ayane reassured him, "He's just feelin' like the idiot he is. Better get this to Banpyon."
She snatched up a bobbypin and quickly picked the lock on the door and walked in, shutting it so Buyo wouldn't get in, "Hey Banpyon! I brought ya somethin' to make ya feel better!" Bankotsu shot her a look, "Yeah…right." Ayane glared, "Take it or I'll force it down your throat." Sighing angrily, he rolled over and took the capful of medicine she held, "Fine."
Thirty minutes later…
"Hey baby! Wazzup?" Bankotsu slurred, tottering around the house, his face flushed. He pointed to Ayaki, himself, gesturing back and forth wildly with his fingers. "Go to bed." Ayaki snickered. "That's whad I was thinkin' bout!" Ayane watched the spectacle through her brother's camcorder and giggled evilly as he stumbled into a wall, "Sorreh sir!" he said. Ayane had a thought and ran to the kitchen and grabbed a shot glass, filling it to the top with rum. She dashed back and handed it to the man saying, "You look thirsty." The alcohol and antihistamine converged in his stomach and five minutes later…
"Hahahahahahaha…snrk…hh…" he looked around wildly, "I'M GONNA BRAID MY HAIR!" Ayane laughed silently at this, wanting to point out that his hair was already braided, and two, to stop talking to the illusionary people, that they were her friends, not his. He sat down on the floor and took up some non-existent hair and began air braiding, then dropped the fictional hair and stared at his hands, giggling hysterically, "I never knew there were…TWO OF'M!" He stared hard at his hands, wiggling one finger after another, laughing an snorting hysterically.
Ayane felt the feeling that all girl's are familiar with (yeah…THAT one), and passed the camera to Ayaki, rushing for her bathroom, completely forgetting that Renkotsu was still barricaded inside…until she jiggled the knob that is.
"Renrin! Open this door NOW!" she shouted, pounding on the door, frantic to get to the feminine hygiene products held with in. "NO! THEY'LLGETME! IKNOWTHEYWILL!" he howled. "RENKOTSU, UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT A TAMPON IS, YOU'LL OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!" Ayane roared back, kicking the door ferociously. "NO!" he shouted back. "THAT'S IT! MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!" she screamed, bringing Ayaki running, sans camera (passed it off to Ayato) "What is it hun?" "Bring me an electric drill, a hack saw and an ice pick NOW!" Ayaki, being a woman, knew exactly what was wrong and quickly brought the supplies while Suikotsu just had to ask the stupid question, "Whaddya need all that stuff for?" "The drills for the door. The saw I'm gonna castrate'm with and I'm gonna shove the ice pick up his ass!" she snarled, already on the top hinge.
She finished with the hinges and kicked the door in and it was all Suikotsu could do to wrestle the saw and pick out of her grasp before she broke free and started slamming his and Renkotsu's heads into the wall. "YOU (SLAM) STUPID (SLAM) SUNNZA (SLAM) BITCHES! (SLAM) DO (SLAM) YOU (SLAM) KNOW (SLAM) WHAT (SLAM) A (SLAM) PERIOD (SLAM) IS? (SLAM) GOD (SLAM) DAMN (SLAM) YOU! (SLAM)" She the smashed their rock hard skulls together and threw them out of her bathroom. (while this had been happening, Ayaki had fixed the door) Ayane glared at them one last time and slammed the door behind her muttering about getting Renrin therapy.
In the living room, Bankotsu had discovered love in the form of a mop, whom he named…Gloria, and Jakotsu finally escaped the clutches of Ayane's friends. However, he didn't avoid being forced into a hot-pink mini skirt, neon orange tube top and phosphorescent green lipstick. His feet were killing him in the five inch stilettos the had forced his feet into and they had put his hair in pigtails with sparkly pom-pom hairties.
All Jakotsu could think was, "Thank GOD it's over!"
