KK:(sarcastically)Yay, another chapter. (thinking)Great...another chapter, another migraine. I should take a vacation from this for a while. But, people are depending on me to finish the story. Agh, I don't know what to do!

Noodle:(thinking)Where is 2D-san? I guess he is probably in intensive care after what KK did to him. He should not talk about zombies so much; that kind of stuff annoys her.

Murdoc:(thinking)I need a beer.

KK:No, you need a brain, Muds.

Murdoc:What the- did ya jus' read m' mind?

KK:No, I just know what men think about.

Murdoc:What was I thinking, then?

KK:Probably "I'd like a beer, and I'd like to see something naked.", right?

Murdoc:Ya got 'alf of it. Well, now that ya mention it,-

KK:Oh, God!

Chapter 14!Viva Kyoto!

"Are we there yet, 2D?"

"No."

"2D-san, are we there yet?"

"I said 'no'."

" 'Ey, face-ache, we there yet?"

"God, where're m' painkillers!"

About a week had passed, and the five were now on their way to Kyoto, Japan forone of their Demon Days concerts. And, for 2D, it was another show, another reason to go completely insane. The only way this trip would be worse, to him,would be if they were taking a public plane. Thank God Murdoc had bought a private jet for the band, otherwise I don't think that 2D would be around to this day.

It was quite a while until the five would arrive in Japan, so Murdoc, Adria, and Noodle took the liberty of spending their free time annoying the hell out of the poor singer.

Whispering something to Noodle, Adria had come up with another plan to annoy him...

"Hey, 2D," she began, "how's your girlfriend?"

"Currently, I don' 'ave one."

"Yeah, you do.Her name's Jill."

"I don' know anyone named Jill."

"I think you do. Take your left hand, put it up, and gently curl your thumb up a bit." She started to crack up, along with Murdoc. Noodle didn't actually get it.

2D shrugged his shoulders and did what he was told to do. Nearly about to explode, Adria wrapped the fingers of her right hand around his thin wrist. "Now, look at your fingers. What word does it look like?"

"...Jill? 'EY!"

That did it! Noodle(who had finally gotten the joke), Adria, and Murdoc all broke out laughing. Even Russel started to laugh, since he had stopped reading his magazine to listen to the four's conversation.(Author's Note: This is a great prank that my friend Cris taught me. Try it out on anyone you know that's single, or just anyone you know; you'll get quite a chuckle!)

"That ain't funny," 2D mumbled to himself as he crossed his arms and pouted like a small child.

Seeing this, Adria wrapped her arm around 2D and drew him close to her in a friendly half-hug. "Aw, I'm just kidding, 'D. I was just trying to have a bit of fun, that's all."

Slowly, a small smile replaced 2D's pout. "Eh, it's okay, darlin'. I can't 'elp it that ya bored."

"Adria, where'd ya come up wit' summink like that?" Murdoc asked, completely astounded.

"From a friend. We were bored one day, so she taught it to me, and I've been using it ever since. Pretty clever, right?"

"Yeah, and pretty fuckin' 'ilarious. I'll start usin' that."

"You do that, and I'll beat you to a pulp."

"Nevermind..."

Adria smirked evily, then looked at Noodle. "Hey, Noods. What time is it?"

Noodle checked her digital Pokemon watch and smiled. "It is 4:30, Adria-san, and, if my math is correct, which it usually is not, we should be arriving really shortly."

"Little math nerd." Adria and Noodle started to laugh again.

"Passengers," the plane pilot began on the intercom, "we are beginning our descent at this point. Please fasten your seat belts."

Well, they did. Right after moving to their own window seat, each staring at the gorgeous scenery below. Noodle was especially absorbed by the view; she just couldn't wait to revisit her home country.

"Excited, Noods?" 2D asked her, although he already knew the answer.

"Of course I am excited, 2D-san. I have not been back in Japan for such a long time."


"Damn."

"Cool."

"Yay!"

"Holy shit!"

These were the four responses of thr Gorillaz members after stepping out of their limo onto Adria's front lawn. A HUGE front lawn to an even HUGER house, or, should I say...and even huger MANSION.(Author's Note:Is huger even a word? Eh, I'll look it up later...) Instead of just going straight to the hotel, Adria was going to show the band where she lived. And, I guess they weren't expecting what they actually saw.

"Welcome to my humble home," Adria said as the five walked up the driveway to the front door.

"Humble, my ass!"Russel exclaimed, staring ahead at the mansion. "This house is huge!"

"It's even bigger than the Playboy Mansion," Murdoc added.

"Not quite that big, Muds." Adria laughed. She then stuck her key into the door's keyhole and slowly turned the doorknob. "The inside's pretty spacious, though."

As the door opened completely, the four band members gasped at what they saw. Marble floors and a black marble staircase caught their attention first. Next, they looked along the walls to find bookcases, paintings, and multiple doors leading to endless amounts of rooms. The house wasn't that brightly lit, which brought out an eerie, spooky feeling to it, making the four feel like they were in a haunted mansion right out of a horror movie.

After a few seconds of silence, Adria turned around to face her friends. "What, is it too much?"

The four all shook their heads at the same time.

The girl smiled at this. "If you think that's cool, look up." She pointed to the ceiling.

All four gazed up, and were amazed even more at what they saw. It was a huge chandelier, exactly identical to the one in the Phantom of the Opera movie(Author's Note: Speaking of which, if you want to read a funny story based on this, read the story entitled Friday Night in Kong Studios; reeaall funny stuff!).

"That's rad," 2D said, breaking the silence that had overtaken them for the past thirty seconds.

"It's amazing," Russel agreed.

"Do you guys wanna see the rest of the house?" Adria crossed her arms. She then led the four up the stairs to a dark corridor. Switching on a light, the five then proceeded to walk down the hallway.

"Do ya live alone?" Murdoc asked.

"Yeah. Servants would just make you seem lazy. I can do stuff on my own."

"Yeah, I guess they would make ya seem like that. Waita minute-why can't we stay 'ere 'stead of the 'otel?"

"For two very good reasons. The first one is that you already made the reservations at the hotel before I could invite you here. And the second one is that I called veeryone up and told them that I was coming home today. The minute they walked throught the door and saw you guys, they'd whip out their cell phones and call every other person they'd know to come over here. And the last thing I need is a whole shit-load of fans at my door, begging to come in and see you guys. I could never keep 'em off."

"You would have a bit of a problem with that," said Russel.

Finally, Adria stopped at a set of double doors. Across the doors, in gold lettering, was the word "LIBRARY".

"You have a library, Adria-san?"

"Uh-huh."

"Is it just like the one in the movie, Beauty and the Beast?"

"Exactly like that one, 'cept mine has electricity." She turned around to face the others. "Okay, guys. Prepare to be shocked. This is one of the rooms is my house that is Phantom of the Opera-themed. I just redid it a little." She then turned back around and threw the doors open.

The five stepped into the room to discover it completely dark. Until Adria flipped a switch on the wall. The minute she did, an ordinary light did not switch on, but another chandelier, along with what seemed to be hundreds of huge candles lined along the wall, sparked fire and illuminated the room.The huge, two-story library contained bookshelf upon bookshelf of books, DVD's, videocassettes, and film containers. But, the really amazing parts about the room were the murals of roses, masks, and music notes on the walls, and...the twenty-foot high cinema screen right on the wall, two rows of theatre seats right in front of it.

"Damn!" all four said at the same time, which shocked Adria since Noodle said it, too.

I guess I'll leave it at that since I've been keeping you guys waiting for too long. I'll pick up on the next chapter. Please R&R! And for all you 2D fans, I'm sorry for insulting your man; I did it for a chuckle. Please don't hurt me!(hides under bed)
