It's 2:09 a.m. And I am beginning to start to get tired. But I'm going to type this anyway. Enjoy.

Kyo had seen things on tv, but they cost money.

"Master, I need money," he said blandly one morning.

"What for?" Kazuma asked.

"Anything I want," Kyo answered as if stating the obvious. "Now gimme some!"

"I'm not made of money, you know," Kazuma answered.

"Well of course," Kyo said.

"It's an expression. It means you're going to have to earn it by working."

And thus, after what could have been a few minutes of conversation, had Kyo not made it more complicated than it needed to be, Kyo had learned what an allowance was. Sort of.

So the next day, Kyo started doing things around the house. Things he had no idea how to do. So, naturally, chaos ensued. But so far, that hasn't been unexpected.

After a few clattering of dishes breaking were heard, Kazuma went to go see what was going on.

"Kyo, do you know what you're doing?" he said upon coming across Kyo putting plates in the washing machine.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason. It's just that you don't know what you're doing," Kazuma answered.

"Oh, I see," Kyo said. "What's the right way to do what I'm doing?"

A few hours later:

The house was sparkly clean all thanks to Kyo, who happened to ask Kazuma for money, which lead to Kyo trying to earn that money, but he was doing it the wrong way and was intervened by Kazuma who showed Kyo how to earn more money the right way. So, while Kazuma showed Kyo how to clean, by cleaning, the house got clean. Kyo sat and watched. After Kyo this to Kazuma, who was saying that Kyo wouldn't get any allowance because he didn't do anything, Kazuma had to comply with Kyo's wishes. It was mostly because there was too much yelling trying to explain this.

Next week:

"Can I have some more money?" Kyo asked once again.

"Not unless you do the work this time," was his answer.

"How about I pay you to do the work and then pay me?" Kyo tried to rationalize.

Kazuma was silent for a moment and then held out his hand for the money.

Sometime later:

When Kyo saw that no work was being done, he asked "Aren't you supposed to be working?"

"No. I never actually said I would," Kazuma answered.

Kyo thought back and realized that it was true. "That's just cruel."


Now it's 2:57. I haven't been typing fast today. Blame my lack of sleep. I thought I drank some coffee. Oh wait it was decaf. Great, I've lost a minimal about of tallness for nothing. Oh well.
