A loud scream awoke the whole entire house. Yoji apparently fell off his bed and Ken slammed his head against the head board behind him. Omi immediately rushed out of his room to find out what the familiar crying noise was about and Ran was busy calming Kumiko.

"Oh geez", Yoji growled as he stood at Ran's doorway, watching as Omi took Kumiko from Ran's arms as the redhead stood there thinking what the problem would be. "Can't you ask her to shut up already?"

"For you information, Yoji-kun, she's only a baby. Shouting at her would make he cry even more!" He snapped irritably at the other blonde, adjusting his arms so the child can be more comfortable.

"What in the world was that noise!" Ken yelled as he came rushing to Ran's doorway. He just woke up and was in half a daze he didn't see Yoji and they both went crashing.

Ran stifled a chuckle while the blonde giggled under his breath. It seemed to enlighten Kumiko since she was now giving a squeal of delight instead of crying anymore.

Ken and Yoji groaned as they untangled themselves.

"Very funny you little baby", Yoji muttered.

Kumiko got even more amused as Ken had managed to slip and fall flat on top of Yoji.

"ARGH! Get off me you heavy pig!" Yoji roared. Ken scrambled off, shouting a 'I am not!' back at the blonde.

Ran shook his head and kicked the both of them and sent them further from his door.

"If you want to make it noisy, go somewhere else", he said plainly.

The other two growled back but Ran didn't even bother to notice. Omi was once again cooing at Kumiko who was enjoying her time in the arms of the blonde.

"Fine. Anyway, what was she crying all about? I thought they cry when they have a wet diaper of hungry for food?" Ken asked curiously.

Ran gave a shrug. "She doesn't seem to have either of those or else she would have still been crying right now." He paused. "It was probably a bad dream."

"Serious?" Yoji raised a brow.

"Aya gets that all the time. She once booted me out of bed because she thought I was a crocodile going to eat her."

The three stared at him.

"Alright, who are you and what did you do to the Ran we knew?"

Ran tossed his infamous glare at the oldest. Yoji grinned back.

"Get out of here."

"Will do, o' great one", Yoji teased. Ken held back his laughter by escaping to his room before letting out while Yoji guffawed at Ran's expression.

Ran snorted and shut his room's door behind him. Omi placed the baby on Ran's bed and kneeled at the bed's edge beside her.

"Do you think we should get a cot?" He asked as he poked her at her side, causing her to giggle with glee.

Ran sniffed as he watched the blonde play with Kumiko.

"We basically got the supplies which would only last us a few days, probably a week."

"Plus, we've still got the shop to deal with. Unless you wish to put up the sign we're on acation."

Omi giggled. "I prefer you this way much better than before, Ran."

The redhead remained silent.

"But time really flies, doesn't it?" He said, a tinge of sadness heard.

"Time comes and goes and never stops. Yet we can never wait."

Omi smiled. "You've changed a lot too", he said and got off the ground. He walked towards Ran who was looking away at the floor below and failed to notice the blonde moving towards him.

His eyes widen as his head was grabbed by two smaller hands and forced downwards. The next thing he knew a mouth ascended onto his.

"Omi". Ran growled as the younger blonde caressed his lower tip with nips.

"What?"

"Stop that", he warned. "Or else you're getting it."

"Hai!" The kid bounced away from the redhead. He hopped onto the bed and caused Kumiko to jump up a little and a laughter escaped from her. "I wonder, did she really get a nightmare?"

Ran sighed and walked over, sitting beside the baby. "It is possible, but it doesn't last long."

Next day…

"EEK! OMI!" Ken screamed. The smaller blonde winced at the shout and came into the kitchen, seeing a trembling Ken pointing at Kumiko. "She's spitting at me!"

"No she's not! She's just playing with her food."

"Tell her not to do that!"

"And how can I?"

"I dunno. Ew… she's spitting again…"

Omi sniffed and went over to Kumiko who was in a baby seatee(bought yesterday) and carried her up, face hiding behind his head.

"Mou, Ken-kun, she's only a baby. Stop making the sun rise from the west."

"Well… Hey the baby's got a funny face. She looks like she's going to vomit."

"She's not going to vomit. Here, hold her while I make breakfast", Omi said quickly and passed Kumiko to the brunette. Ken gave a loud 'eh?' and received the baby arms length away from him. The blonde walked off to the other corner of the kitchen to get ready to cook.

"Oh jeez, she's green! ARGH! OMI!" Ken yelled.

Omi heard a barfing noise and turned around. True enough, Kumiko was letting everything from her stomach out onto Ken's shirt.

Just then, Yoji came into the kitchen scratching his head.

"Eh? What the heck is that smell?" He growled as he covered his hand over his nose. He saw the disgusting mess on Ken and fled the kitchen.

"OMIIIII!" Ken wailed and Kumiko joined in the noisy chorus.

"Don't shout!" Omi snapped and went over, taking the child back into his arms.

"Ew, ew ,ew ,ew ,ew ,ew ,ew!" He immediately removed his shirt and held it away from himself. "I am SO not going to keep this shirt!"

"Don't be such a fussy person. A baby's a baby. You can't change that. Oh yeah, we're heading to the shops later. Wanna come?"

"HELL NO!"

"Come on! We need people to help! Surely you're not that heartless?" Omi whimpered, giving Ken –the- puppy dog eyes.

The other sweat-dropped and slumped in defeat.

"Only if you get Yoji to come!"

Hey people...Sigh. Not much to do now. Any ideas you can give? ANYTHING! I'm brain-dead at the moment. MY TESTS ARE TOMORROW. TOMORROW! I'll take some time to do the next chappie of Withering Rose in Metrepole, That is if you read it. :) Oh well. I guess I suck at humor stories... T.T
