Heh I get to stay home because I'm sick.
Chapter 22: Death to Inu-Baka
"Everyone SHUT UP!" I screeched, brandishing a camera.
"Emie-chan, why do we have to take a group MPS picture?" whined Draye. I rolled my eyes threateningly.
"Because I said so, call me Emie again and you die a painful death," I declared.
"But I don't want to take a picture!" yelled Kontra, in the process of being strangled by...um...oh, I couldn't see, there was too much chaos. Oh! He was being strangled by Envy!
Damn, why do I ALWAYS forget that Envy is part of the MPS? So is Inuyasha, but we just call him Inu-baka for fun.
Wait, where was Inu-baka...?
"INU-BAKA!" yelled the ever-helpful Azulcat. "GET OFF THE ROOF AND OVER HERE NOW!"
And the dog-demon came. I stared at Azulcat. "How do you do it?" She just smirked.
Before I could say another word the camera was suddenly snatched from my hand as Sneha and Hilaria ran past me. "Hey! Give that back!" I yelled.
A few yards away, Night was up a tree. "You'll never take me alive!" she hollered as Liah tried to reason with her.
Just as I finally managed to wrestle back my camera from a very disgruntled Hilaria (no mean feat when Sneha is has you in a headlock), there came a cry of "Death from above!" and we looked up to see Bat, waving a katana, jumping out of a tree towards me.
I ran from the crazed Bat, bumping into Zafe. He made a grab for my throat, but I shook him off and dashed to the bar, slamming the door in Faith's face.
"Murtagh, Arya, I need your help," I panted. "Deidara, you too. They're insane!"
"I told you that trying to take a group picture was a bad idea," said Murtagh, shaking his head as he got up.
"Hey, what about us?" asked Eragon and Iruka. "You're pansies," I replied, running back to the group, three characters in tow.
Surveying the mob, Deidara raised his eyebrows and sighed. "EVERYBODY DOWN, NOW!" he suddenly bellowed.
The MPS instantly flattened as a small clay bird exploded over their heads. "Alright," Arya shouted into the sudden quiet. "We are armed and hostile. Now I want everybody to listen to Emerald and group together, now!"
"Damn, you're good," said Murtagh as the MPS meekly grouped together.
"I really need to learn how to do that," I muttered. "Alright...ah, Draye, Bat! Get in the front, I can't see you! Kontra, you're blocking Night, get behind her! And...um...the rest of you are good!" I put the camera on a timer and raced into the picture.
At that moment, Inu-baka waved a mirror in the camera's general direction, causing the film to overexpose and it was ruined. He then took one look at my face and ran for his life.
