Chapter 5: Deceivance!
The next morning, Kadaj woke up and looked for Yazoo on the other side of the curtain, but he was not there. He saw that the bathroom door was barely cracked, so he went inside.
Yazoo was standing, having a hard time brushing his hair, since it was so long. He averted his eyes and ignored Kadaj's entrance.
"Good morning," Kadaj said to him, but he did not even react at all to it. He just continued to struggle with his massive hair.
"Here, let me help you," Kadaj volunteered. He took the pink, glittery brush from Yazoo's hand and began brushing the back of his brother's hair with it. "I'm sorry, Yazoo." Yazoo squinted his eyes, bit his lower lip, and clenched his fists as Kadaj brushed through a knot, accelerating the brush afterward so that it slightly bumped Yazoo's bottom, since it was directly below his long, silver hair.
"I hope that was an accident," Yazoo said.
"It was. That was a bad knot," Kadaj assured, and then continued brushing.
There was a long silence until Yazoo finally said, "I'm sorry I slapped you."
Kadaj paused, and then looked over Yazoo's shoulder and into his mirror image. Yazoo looked sad.
"No. I'm sorry I talked to you like that. It . . . wasn't my place," Kadaj admitted, and then started brushing again. There was another long pause until Kadaj asked, "Where's Olivia?"
"In the Underworld, I hope!" Yazoo sighed.
"You really hate her, don't you?"
"Kind of hard not to." There was a little pause, and then Yazoo asked sadly, "Kadaj?"
"Yeah?"
" . . . Do you really think I'm a stupid brat?"
"Of coarse not, Yazoo! That's silly." He stopped brushing and put the brush on the sink, and then Yazoo turned toward him. They hugged each other tightly. "That's silly."
"Well, how sweet!" Loz commented while smiling as he barged in and saw them hugging.
"Loz! Can't you see this room is being occupied!" Kadaj asked, letting go of Yazoo.
"Well, Olivia went out to the store and left me in charge until she gets back," Loz explained, and then left the bathroom.
Yazoo started heading out until Kadaj grabbed his arm. "Hey, you have to brush my hair now!"
After they had cleaned up, Kadaj and Yazoo giggled together happily as they danced into the kitchen with Loz, who was sitting at the table with a newspaper.
"You go sit down. I'll get us all some donuts and pop tarts!" Kadaj cheered. He and Yazoo were very hyper and cheerful like two little girls who just got new pink dresses.
As Yazoo sat down beside of Loz, he squealed and jumped back up instantly in pain.
"What's wrong?" Loz questioned.
"Are you okay?" Kadaj added.
Yazoo made a little pouty face and answered, "I can't sit down!"
"Not this again!" Loz sighed, turning the page of his newspaper.
"I have an idea!" Kadaj told them. He set a large square board onto a small stepladder and sat some flower-shaped pillows around it. "Now you can sit on your knees and eat with us!"
"No way! I'm not gonna sit on the floor on some sissy-lookin' pillows!" Loz refused.
"You don't know what you're missing!" Yazoo told him, sitting on his knees at the new table.
After breakfast, Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz were sitting at the new table playing Trouble.
"I'm back!" Olivia announced, coming in the door with her hands full of bags. Yazoo looked the other direction. "I got some clothes at the store and got some food!" She laid the bags on the real table and dug a light pink dress with white hearts on it out of one and held it up.
"Is that yours?" Kadaj asked her.
"No, it's Yazoo's!" she answered.
"W-what!" Yazoo panicked, standing up.
"I also bought this matching pink ribbon, these white dress shoes, and… since you're a baby and in pain . . . an adult sized diaper!"
Yazoo hid behind Kadaj while Loz laughed. "Kadaj, help me," he begged quietly. "Please?"
"Olivia, stop!" Kadaj confronted her. "That's enough! Leave Yazoo alone!"
"Oh, Kadaj! Don't be so jealous! I bought you a light purple dress with matching accessories, too!" Olivia told him. Loz laughed harder.
A few minutes later, Yazoo and Kadaj were 'dressed' up and were standing humiliated in the living room. Loz was laughing so hard he was crying. Kadaj and Yazoo exchanged glances as Olivia admired them.
"Time for a nutritious snack, Kada and Yazzy!" Olivia said. She gave Kadaj some chocolate bars, Loz a burrito, and Yazoo some carrot sticks.
"Not this again!" Yazoo cried.
"Sorry, Yazzy, 'but' you need to have a nice slim figure like Kada!" Then Olivia glanced at the calendar on the wall. "Oh! I need to go pay the bills! I'll be back soon!"
After she left, Yazoo and Kadaj changed back into their normal outfits.
"Yazoo, that suit is awfully tight on you. Why don't we go to the store?" Loz suggested.
At the store, Kadaj was amazed at how much produce there was on the shelves.
"Does that say 'Kadaj'?" Yazoo inquired, looking at some Cabbage.
"No, stupid! But it does kind of look like him . . ." Loz teased. "Mother must have named you after it, Kadaj!"
"Ha ha. Very funny," Kadaj said, upset. Next, the three ventured over to the sporting goods.
"Why are we here? I need some clothes!" Yazoo complained, hands on his hips.
"I need some more punching bags. I beat them so hard they ripped open. And I need some weights because mine are too light now, stupid!" Loz told him.
"Come on, Yazoo. We'll go find you some clothes while Loz looks here," Kadaj instructed.
"May I help you?" a man asked working in the men's clothing as they approached.
Meanwhile, Loz had brought a bunch of weights and a punching bag from off of the shelves and put them in a cart, and then drove it into the men's department.
"Any luck?" Loz asked his brothers. Kadaj was stretching a measuring tape around Yazoo and writing down the inches.
"When we're done taking his measurements, we have to give them to a worker and they'll find something for him," Kadaj explained.
"Oh, well I'm gonna go buy some groceries and stuff. Good luck," Loz said, and then walked off with the cart.
"Okay, let's go give the measurements to that guy," Kadaj told Yazoo, rolling up the measuring tape. Yazoo followed him over to the counter. Kadaj handed the list of measurements to the man.
"Okay, Sirs, you size is over there," he pointed over to the left.
Kadaj and Yazoo went to the rack and looked through it. "Here's the suit you need," Kadaj grabbed it off the rack. It was identical to the one Yazoo was wearing.
"Oh, I like this shirt!" Yazoo pointed out. He showed Kadaj a pink shirt with unicorns and rainbows on it.
"Is that men's or girl's?" Kadaj asked.
A while later, Kadaj and Yazoo joined Loz, who was picking out some soup. "Oh, you're done?" Loz asked, looking up from a soup label.
"Yeah, and we found some clothes for all of us. Let's go, if you're done memorizing ingredients!" Kadaj answered. Yazoo stood beside of him quietly.
As they walked into their house door, Kadaj tripped over some wooden boards laid just inside the doorway. "Ouch!" he cried as he landed on his face. Yazoo stepped over him and helped him up. "Why are these boards here!"
Loz stepped over the boards and pushed his younger brothers down as he walked through. As he walked onto the hardwood floor of the living room, the floor opened up and he screamed as he fell through it.
"Loz!" Yazoo called, sitting on his knees as he peered down in the dark hole. "Kadaj, what's going on?"
"How should I know!" Kadaj yelled grouchily. Yazoo stood up and just looked at his younger brother, waiting for a suggestion. "Let's go see if we can find something to help him in the bathroom. You go first, since you're older!"
Kadaj followed Yazoo through the short hall and into the bathroom. As they entered, some toilet paper flew around Yazoo and tied him up. He lost his balance and fell over onto the floor. Before Kadaj could untie him, some wallpaper tearings took a deep breath and blew Kadaj into he living room wall. He looked up from where he was sitting on the hardwood floor and saw Olivia.
"... Olivia … Help . . . us, please," Kadaj said weakly, since the blow had knocked the breath out of him.
"Sorry, little Kadaj. You're cute and all but . . ." she began, and then transformed into a floor mat. "You must die!" She made a Tonberry's chef knife appear in her hand. Kadaj ducked his head, with his arms covering it, and squinted his eyes shut in fear. He heard glass break and did not get stabbed, so he slowly opened his eyes and lowered his arms. Sephiroth had saved him.
Good, bad, ugly? Are you happy or sad that Olivia was a floor mat and was defeated by Seph? Please review! It makes my day, really guys. It motivates me and makes me feel better. Next chapter: Moogy is back and someone gets married! You'll never guess who gets married to whom! Go on, try to guess!
