Chapter 11: When squirrels attack....they're not as cuddly as you think.

-------------------- --------------------

"Kenshin! The car won't start!" Kaoru hollered.

Kenshin came running outside, to assist Kaoru. Kaoru got out of the car and let Kenshin try.

"Oro? I can't get it started either...I'll call Sano." Kenshin said, going back inside.

...............

"Hey, Sano." Kenshin said, as the phone was picked up on the other line.

"Hey! Kenshin! What's up!?" Sano asked loudly.

[swirly eyes] "Oro..eh...Kaoru can't get her car started. Any chance you could come down and help us?" Kenshin asked.

"Sure!" Sano shouted, hanging up the phone.

Kenshin hung up the phone as well, then went back outside.

"Sano is coming." Kenshin told Kaoru.

"Okay." she answered, still trying to get the car to start.

Kenshin turned around to go back inside.

"Kenshin! Where are you going!?" Kaoru asked.

"I'm going to make lunch." Kenshin answered.

"But it's only 10:30 am!" Kaoru said, looking at her watch.

"Yes, but Sano is coming." Kenshin answered, continuing to go inside.

'That freeloader...' Kaoru thought angrily.

...............

By the time Kenshin had finished cooking, Sano was outside trying to get the car started. He had jumper cables hooked up to Kaoru's car and his own car, trying to get it started.

"Can't get it started?" Kenshin asked from the front porch.

"Nope..." Sano said, defeated.

"Of course you can't do it, rooster head." Yahiko said, jumping out of a nearby tree.

"Would you learn to mind your own business Yahiko-CHAN?" Kaoru asked, impatiently.

Yahiko began fuming. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!!" he shouted.

While those two were fighting, and Sano and Kenshin were talking to one another, two squirrels jumped down from the tree Yahiko had been in.

One jumped onto the hood of Kaoru's car, and the other onto Sano's car. The two squirrels stuck their heads under the hood of the cars and began to mess with the jumper cables.

Suddenly, Kaoru's car started.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up.

The two squirrels stood proudly on top of each of the cars.

Kenshin and Sano stood there with their mouths hanging open.

"How could two squirrels do that when I couldn't!?" Kenshin shouted.

"...Yeah! What he said!" Sano agreed. "Go away you stupid squirrels!!!" he shouted.

The two squirrels jumped off of the cars, and lunged at Kenshin and Sano.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" the two of them screamed, running around with squirrels stuck on their faces.

Kaoru and Yahiko backed away from them slowly...but then...

"Run!!!!!!!!" Yahiko shouted, as acorns began to fall rapidly from the tree they were under.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow..." Kaoru and Yahiko shouted as they ran from the tree. But now....there were more squirrels chasing them! And they were throwing the acorns at them.

Sano managed to pry the squirrel off his face and throw it back into the tree where it came from. Kenshin did as well, shortly after Sano did.

The two of them sat down on the curb, panting. They both had scratches and bite marks all over their faces.

"They're after me!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sano yelled once he managed to catch his breath.

[swirly eyes] "Oro...yes indeed, they are..." Kenshin agreed. "Where are Miss Kaoru and Yahiko?" Kenshin asked, realizing they weren't in sight anymore.

Just then, the squirrels came back running down the street for dear life.

Kenshin and Sano were about to run away...until they saw-

Yahiko and Kaoru were chasing the poor squirrels with paint guns.

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT YOU EVIL SQUIRRELS!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" Kaoru shouted as she continuously shot the little paint balls at the squirrels.

"Yeah! How do you like it now!?!?!?!????" Yahiko shouted, doing the same thing Kaoru was.

O.O;;; "I'm leaving now." Sano told Kenshin, going back over to his car.

O.O;;; "Yup...see ya." Kenshin said, inching his way over to the door.
