Renkotsu's Phobia

The Shichinin-tai, (well, five of them,) were jolted awake from their peaceful slumber by a huge banging sound that came from the vicinity of one of their rooms.

Jakotsu was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Check.

Bankotsu was pushing his hair out of his face. Check.

Mukotsu was yawning. Check.

Suikotsu had his markings on which meant who ever made that noise was about die nice and slowly. Check.

Kyoukotsu was munching on the remains of who knows what. Check.

So the only ones left were…

"Renkotsu. No. ANIKI!" Jakotsu yelled as he slammed the door to Renkotsu's room open with murder in his eyes. "Some of us, who aren't nocturnal sourpusses, are trying to sleep!"

Renkotsu wasn't in his room. In fact, the only thing left of his room was a large, smoking, crater. Most likely been set off by Renkotsu. But you never know, it could also be Ginkotsu.

Ginkotsu was missing from the room too. Which was no surprise, because those slept in the same room together. If Renkotsu sleeps at all (which Jakotsu doubted, because it was always common to hear him muttering under his breath, or fine tuning some weird invention of his in the dead of the night when Jakotsu was releasing himself.).

Everyone stared at the crater which used to be a room for a few more moments of silence before another explosion coming from the forests beside them shattered it.

"Good job Ginkotsu! Keep on firing at it! We'll kill it sooner or later!" came Renkotsu's voice, which sounds disturbingly maniacal.

Mukotsu would forever remember the day he decided to follow his teammates into the forest to see what the heck was going on.

Kyoukotsu was rather scarred after the incident.

Suikotsu, after some thought, figured that it was rather normal, seeing as how common it is.

Jakotsu was annoyed.

And poor Bankotsu was just confused.

For you see, it was rather comical to see Renkotsu breathing flames at the ground accompanied with Ginkotsu's occasional artillery, while Renkotsu was shrieking with laughter.

And to add more strangeness to this already, Ginkotsu calmly explained to them that "Gesh, didn't you know? Renkotsu aniki is scared of spiders."
