General Badaxe- Ok, time to update TOC. Sorry it took about a week, but I had other fics to write, other things to do, and I put this off for a little bit. So sue me. On second thought, don't sue me; knowing my luck, you would win. Kalis-nin, about Naruto's moves, I can make him have whatever moves I want. Why? Because I am authoring the fic, not you. If I wanted to make Laharl do a strip tease, I could, it would be very disturbing, but I could. I don't force anyone to read my fics, you read it because you want to. If there is a part you don't like, make a mirror image of my fic, and change it the way you want. Until you do, stop complaining. Oh, and I am sorry if I sound like an asshole to you, but I prefer to be blunt, and not sugar-coat my words. On with the fic!

Zelos was in the kitchen, calmly eating a sandwich, when a really pissed off looking Laharl walks in. "How are you doing Laharl? You really need to lighten up; you have had that dark look on you all day!" Zelos tells him in a cheery voice.

Laharl whips around, his eyes narrowing at Zelos, and growls out "I am in a bad mood because you left a bat in my room, I fell asleep, and rolled off the bed, and landed on you bat and it didn't feel like a bat at the time!"

"Lighten up; lighten up," Zelos tells him while waving his hand "Accidents happen, and I told you, I have no idea how my bat got there! Usually, I keep it with my other swords."

"Why do you have a bat in the first place? Your swords are a lot stronger than it!" Laharl screams out.

Zelos let out a small laugh, and said "I have it because it is funny beating someone up with a bat instead of a sword! Plus, it is a lot better at knocking people out than a sword. Plus, who doesn't want to use a bat on someone just once?" Zelos asks him.

Laharl thought about it for a moment, and asks "Zelos, can I see your bat for a second?"

Zelos walks over to him, hands him his bat, and says "Sure, I don't really mind." Zelos then goes back to his sandwich, and begins to eat it again, when Zelos suddenly asks "Who are you going to use it on?"

Laharl just turns, and grins at Zelos with an innocent look on his face. Zelos's eyes widen, and he yells out "Get away from me you murderous psycho!" and Zelos runs away, leaving behind his sandwich.

'Zelos has to learn, that you don't ever leave behind a sandwich. I wonder what kind it is.' Laharl thought to himself, and he took a bite out of it. Suddenly, Laharl begins to sweat very badly, and then he runs to the sink, turns on the faucet, and drinks a lot of water. After he is done drinking, he splutters out "What kind of idiot eats a peanut butter and jalapeño sandwich!"

(Scene Change)

Dante is calmly walking down the hallway, and he sees Zelos running up to him as though a he is trying to be killed. 'That's odd,' Dante thought to himself. 'Last time I saw someone run that fast, it was with me, and that was because Virgil was chasing me in a giant pumpkin outfit, trying to get me to wear one as well.' "Hold on there flash." Dante says, grabbing Zelos by the back of his shirt, stopping him from running anywhere.

"Let me go!" Zelos says very quickly. "Laharl is chasing me with a baseball bat! I don't want to get hit by one of those things!"

Dante looks behind Zelos, and doesn't see anyone coming. "Zelos, you either lost Laharl, Laharl is invisible, or you were just hallucinating, because I don't see Laharl behind you anywhere."

Zelos stops running, has Dante let him go, and looks behind him. He sees an empty hallway, nothing in the least looking like Laharl. "Phew, I thought I was going to get killed for sure!" Zelos said sighing in relief.

Suddenly, Dante yells out "Zelos! Run! Laharl is coming up the other end of the hallway! Wow! That is a pretty strong looking baseball bat!"

Without looking behind him, Zelos takes off down the hallway, and turns the corner disappearing from view.

"Dante, did you have to say I was Laharl?" Inuyasha asked, as he walked up to Dante.

Dante turns, and he grins at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, you missed it. Zelos is being chased by Laharl, so he is scared shitless right now! I want to see how long I can keep his fear up!"

Inuyasha folds his arms, and says "Dante, you need a better hobby."

Dante looks at Inuyasha, and says "I do have a hobby. However, that hobby is demon slaying, and I don't know if I could take the demons from this place. It would be pretty fun though!" He finishes with an amused grin.

"On second thought," Inuyasha said in a dry voice "Go back to scaring Zelos. I don't really need to fight someone right now."

"No problem!" Dante says, and then he takes off down the hallway, after Zelos.

"The people here are just strange." Inuyasha said in a drawl, and then he starts to walk down the hallway in the opposite direction as the other two.

(Scene Change)

Leon is walking down the hallway, after waking up from a particular nightmare about going to have to rescue Ashley again. 'Damn it, you would think she could at least pretend to know how to defend herself.' Leon thought to himself, while he was shaking his head.

Suddenly, Naruto comes running down the hallway, and stops in front of Leon. "Hey Leon, word of advice, don't go near Laharl or Zelos today."

"Why is that?" Leon asks him.

Naruto grins, and says "I took Zelos's bat, and put it near Laharl's bed. Then, I whispered into Laharls ear, and made him roll over onto the bat. Let's just say, that Laharl felt a lot of bat. Anyway, I hid, saw Laharl storm out of his room, and then ran in the opposite direction of Laharl, after I gave the put the bat into Zelos's stash."

"So, I should avoid both of them?" Leon asks him.

"Unless you are suicidal enough to get caught in the crossfire, yes stay away from them." Naruto answers him. Then Naruto goes scurrying down the hallway.

'What a strange little half demon.' Leon thought to himself. As he walks further down the hallway, Leon sees Zelos traveling down the hallway. Zelos appears out of breath, stops in front of Leon, grabs his knees as he bends over, and starts huffing out "Have (huff huff) you (huff) seen (huff) Laharl?" (Huff huff)

"No Zelos, the only person I have seen today is Naruto. I have no idea where everyone else is, beside you." Leon replies.

"ZELOS!" Laharl screams from the hallway Naruto ran to. "GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!"

Zelos goes pale in the face, his eyes widening, as he screams out, and runs in the opposite direction of the voice. Leon turned around, and went to the voice, only to hear laughter. As he peeks around the corner, he sees Naruto laughing, but he doesn't see Laharl anywhere. "Naruto, where is Laharl?" Leon asks him.

Naruto took a good minute to get his breathe back, and then he says "I changed my voice to sound a lot like Laharl. Then I only had to scream down the hallway. Zelos took off before he thought things through."

"Naruto," Says Leon "You can be a complete jerk sometimes, you know that?"

Naruto grins from ear to ear, and says "Yeah, but I also have more fun than anyone I know, so it is worth it."

Leon just sighs, and wonders how he got caught up in this entire mess.

(Scene Change)

Lloyd got out of the shower, and towels off. He put on some under wear, or undergarments as the sensitive people would say, and slipped on his pants. Then he pulled on his red shirt, and buttoned up. Then he grabbed his two swords, put them on his hips, and walked out into the hallway. Then he sees Zelos bolt by, followed closely by Laharl, who is holding Zelos's bat, and swinging it in a threatening manner. 'What did Zelos do this time?' Lloyd thought to himself as he sighed.

Lloyd ignores them, and walks down the random corridors, and into the kitchen. He sees a half eaten sandwich, just sitting on the table. 'Well, might as well not let the thing go to waste.' Lloyd thought to himself, as he picked it up, and took a bite out of it. Lloyd's mouth catches fire, and he quickly drinks out of the sink. 'If I have told him once, I have told him a thousand times, Zelos, you NEVER leave your favorite sandwich lying around.' Lloyd thinks to himself, as he pitches the sandwich into the trash can.

Lloyd looks over, and sees Dante sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper, while having a drink of coffee. "Dante, do you know what is wrong with Laharl and Zelos?" Lloyd asked him.

Dante doesn't look up, as he says "Laharl got butt raped by Zelos's bat, so Laharl is going to kill Zelos."

"I knew I shouldn't have gotten up this morning." Lloyd muttered to himself.

"You and me both." Said Inuyasha as he walked into the room. Inuyasha looked at Dante, and asked "Weren't you trying to scare Zelos a little bit ago?"

Dante dropped the paper slightly to look at Inuyasha, and said "No challenge." And then he went back to reading the paper.

"Yeah, yeah, is there anything good to eat out?" Inuyasha asked as he began sniffing the air.

"Only if you can count a half eaten peanut butter and jalapeño sandwich in the trash can." Lloyd told him while looking in the fridge.

"What moron eats a peanut butter and jalapeño sandwich?" Inuyasha asks.

"Zelos." Lloyd said, and then went back to searching the fridge.

Naruto walked in, and asked "Is there anything good to eat?"

"No." Inuyasha and Lloyd say at the same time.

"Well…" Naruto said while scratching the back of his head "Do we have flour, eggs, milk, and a griddle?"

Lloyd looks around, and says "Yeah, we have those, why do you ask?"

"Get them out for me, I am making pancakes." Naruto says, as he finds a spatula and a whisker. Lloyd got the desired items out, and handed them to Naruto, which Naruto takes with a grunt of "Thanks." And then he sets off to work.

Lloyd walks over to Dante, and says "Anything interesting in the paper?"

Dante says "They have the tournament teams and rankings for the people's favorites. Our team seems to be in the middle, not the favorite, but we aren't hated either. That's good, if for some strange reason we get taken out, it won't seem that different."

Lloyd then asks "Anything we should know about the number one team?"

"Yeah." Dante says "Apparently, even if someone gives up, they usually kill the person anyway, saying that the person was too weak to live, or something like that."

"What would happen if one of them lost a match?" Lloyd asks him

"I don't know." Dante says, and then he adds "I guess they would do something stupid like kill themselves or something to that effect."

"Which proves that people are insane." Leon said as he enters the kitchen. "What's for Breakfast?"

"Naruto is making everyone pancakes." Dante says, still examining the paper.

"He doesn't seem like the type that learns how to cook." Leon said to no one in particular.

"You would learn how to cook, if you lived the way I did!" Naruto said beaming, while he brought in a stack of about thirty to forty pancakes.

"How did you live?" Leon asked him

A dark look appeared on Naruto's face, and Naruto said in a demonic voice "I don't like to talk about it."

Everyone stared at Naruto, who placed the pancakes onto the table, pulled up a chair, and yelled out "You people have to get your own plates, forks spoons, chopsticks, whatever you use." And then he grabbed one of the pancakes, and threw it on his plate, and started to add toppings to it.

Everyone just shrugged, and got their stuff, and started to eat. Hunk joined them; he sat down, and grabbed a pancake. After he put his toppings on it, everyone just stared at him. Then, Hunk got up, left the kitchen, and probably went back to his room. "Damn it, I wanted to see what was under the mask!" Lloyd said.

"You and everyone else." Muttered Leon. "You think this is bad, you should see him out of work. He never takes off that mask in front of people." Then Leon resumed eating.

Suddenly, Zelos comes barreling into the room. He jumps under the table. Everyone has a confused look on their face, and then they all realize something. Laharl is chasing Zelos, so… uh-oh. They all look at the doorway, and see Laharl standing there with a bat in his hands. Suddenly, Laharl back flips multiple times into the air, and charges energy into the bat. Everyone at the table looks at one another, and yells out either "Shit!" or "Damn!" As they all push off the table to get away.

A giant wave of green energy emanates from the bat, and smashes into the table, hitting Zelos under it, and destroying all the food. Laharl looks at his hand, and sees a broken bat in it. The thing couldn't take the energy he charged in it, so it released it prematurely, so it was at only one-tenth of its real strength. "Damn thing can't even hold one dimension slash." Laharl mutter out.

"LAHARL!" Dante, Inuyasha, Naruto, Lloyd, and Leon yell out. "You just destroyed Breakfast you idiot!"

Laharl turned around, and pulled out his Cosmic Blade. "Are you guys going to do something about it?" He asks with a grin on his face, and when he sees Zelos stand up, he says with a huge grin on his face. "Your right Zelos, it is fun to hurt someone with a bat."

Zelos just groans, and people pull out there weapons. Naruto got his claws into a 'ready' position, Inuyasha pulled out his buster sword, Lloyd pulled out a red blade and a blue blade, Leon pulls out a handgun, and Dante pulls out some silver greaves.

Laharl grins, and says "This is going to be fun." And then he runs at them.

The others, getting the hint, charge at him. They are all running at full speed, all ready to fight, when a bright light smashed into the room, and yells out "YOU CAN'T KILL EACH OTHER!" They all stop, but only to hold there ears from the pain. The bright light continues, saying "You have a match right now!"

Everyone looked at it, and then Laharl spoke up. "Aren't you supposed to tell us ahead of time that a match is coming up?"

The light turned a shade of red, and then said in its own defense "I slept in!"

Everyone just stares at it, disbelief in their eyes. "Exactly when did you hear about the match?" Laharl asked while his teeth were grinding.

The light turned green, and then said "I learned about it yesterday in the afternoon, but that's not important, what is important, is getting you to the stadium!"

"HOLD ON A SECOND!" Laharl screams out, his eyes going red. "Let me get this straight," He said in a seething voice "You knew yesterday that we would have a match, but you waited until today to tell us, right before the match. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YESTERDAY!" He screamed at the light.

The light turned a shade of red, and said "Well, you see…I am lazy. I didn't want to come here to tell you, and then go back."

Then a white light entered the room before anyone could speak, and brought them to the arena.

General Badaxe- Great, I wrote a shorter than usual chapter. I hate that, I prefer to write ones of at least 5K words. Oh well, we can't all live up to everyone's expectations, even our own. Tell me what you think, what could be improved (beside me) and what you liked and didn't like. Basically, tell me anything that could help me write better.
