Prank Unraveled

Yazoo looked behind him, checking to see how fast his pursuit was.

What? There's no one there… Where did she go?

Kia, who'd a moment ago been after him in a crazy fangirl frenzy, was no where to be seen.

"Uh, Kadaj? Where'd she go?"

Kadaj shrugged.

Yazoo sighed. What's the point of having him as the leader if he never knows what's going on?!

"What about the girl? Did she see where physco went?"

Kerra practically growled in response.

"The "GIRL" has a NAME! And that's MS. Physco to you, pal!"

Kadaj flinched beside her.

"Well damn! Yazoo, don't make her angry!"

"Why? You scared of her?! Chicken!"

"You're not the one standing next to her! She just growled at you!"

Yazoo froze as a look of horror suddenly slid onto Kadaj and Kerra's faces.

"Wh-What?"

Kerra slowly raised her hand and pointed to something behind Yazoo.

"It's her………….."

"RUUUUUN FOR IT!"

Together the two of them turned and sprinted for the car.

Turning around slowly, Yazoo recoiled. Kia was a few feet away from him, wheezing, with huge, star struck eyes. Back at the car, Kerra and Kadaj were trying desperately to open the doors.

"I think they might be locked!"

"REALLY Kadaj! Really! Wow, here I was thinking that they were glued shut!"

"Well that's stupid! Who would do that?!"

"I'm gonna kill you soon. Oh… SO soon!"

"HEH?!"

Yazoo glanced quickly over to where the two where struggling with the vehicle, afraid to take his eyes off of Kia.

"Uh… Keran?"

"It's Kerra!"

"Oh… Hey Kerra?"

"WHAT?!"

"Do I have permission to defend myself?"

"Uh…."

"SHE'S GETTING CLOSER!"

"Shut it, Kadaj! Stop panicking! Is that all you're good for?!"

"Pretty much *sob*…"

"OK! Can I please have permission?! Before I DIE!"

"I'd like to see that… but… I guess!"

Turning around, Yazoo jumped a foot in the air in surprise. Kia was now directly next to him, her eyes even bigger… if that was even physically possible…

She slowly reached out with her hand.

"Don't touch me. I'm warning you! Don't! NO! DO NOT TOUCH!"

Yazoo backed up, but Kia kept coming.

Suddenly, Kia reached out and grabbed Yazoo's arm.

"Touch!"
"I WARNED YOU!"

Quick as lightning Yazoo swiped Kia's hand away and tackled her.

Kadaj flinched and shook his head solemnly.

"Oooooh… Yeah, he's not holding back…"

Kerra turned around to find Kia… being… wellyeah… death….

"YAZOO! That's a bit extreme for self defense!"

"Yeah but it's so fun!"

***

Kia moaned and rolled onto her back, her face contorting in pain.

"I am one with the dirt."

No one seemed to notice her lying alone on the ground. Turning her head so that she could see the car, Kia spotted Kerra and Yazoo arguing violently with one another. Hiding behind his older brother, Kadaj occasionally peeped over Yazoo's shoulder, only to recoil whenever Kerra yelled back.

"How could you hurt her?!"

"I told you, it was self defense!"

"That's great, but after the person's stopped attacking then you don't have to continue to destroy them!"

"Well maybe she shouldn't have attacked me in the first place!"
"Well maybe you should be able to outrun an almost sixteen year old girl- Sixteen… YOU ATTACKED HER A DAY BEFORE HER BIRTHDAY YOU IDIOT!"

"WHA-?!"

"Her SIXTEENTH birthday! It's supposed to be special!"

Kadaj peeped around his brother.

"Ohh, it's special all right!"

Kerra snarled and leapt at Kadaj, who screamed and threw himself behind Yazoo again.

Yazoo sighed and fended off Kerra.

"Why are you our leader again, brother?"

"Because…"

"Because…?"
"I DON'T KNOW, just because!"

"Um, can someone help me up? I don't really like the dirt… or worms… Ewy..."

***

Kadaj bent down and gently slid his arms around Kia. Quickly his eyes skimmed over her, checking to make sure that she wasn't seriously injured.

"I'm fine, Kadaj."

Blushing, Kadaj picked her up.

Kia smiled.

At least he hasn't made a crack about how weak I apparently am…

"Still weak, I see." He mumbled to himself.

Guess I spoke to soon…

"What was that?"

Kadaj started at Kia's tone.
"Uhhh, I said… go beat that tree?!"

"What?"

"Yes…"

Kia rolled her eyes.

"Well isn't someone smooth! Hey Yazoo? Did anything harmful ever happen to Kadaj when he was younger… Particularly to his noggin?"

Yazoo, who was still arguing with Kerra, paused to consider this.

"Well, there was that one time when he-"

"YAZ! SHUT IT!"

Suddenly Kerra was shouting.

"Kadaj! Look out! It's a roooooccck!"

"Huh? WHOA!"

Kadaj tripped suddenly on a small pebble, flying up into the sky with Kia. The two looked at each other as they sailed through the air; Kia's eyes narrowed as she met Kadaj's.

"I freaking hate you."

"I know…"

As the ground came up to meet them, Kia was suddenly caught right before she body slammed with an inanimate object for a second time that day. Looking up, she found Yazoo holding her. Beside them, Kadaj face-slammed the ground, sending up a cloud of dust around him.

"Owwww…"

Kia blinked.

"Aw shit, I missed it! K-dog, do you think you could do that again?!"

No response…

Kerra, who wasn't to sure how Yazoo had gotten to Kia so fast, couldn't help herself when she saw Kadaj smack the ground; she immediately doubled over in laughter. Yazoo walked over, took the car keys that were lying on the ground, and opened the car door, setting Kia gently inside before going to tap his brother's shoulder.

"Are you alright brother?"

Kadaj slowly lifted his head to find Yazoo bending down over him, concern in his eyes. From behind him, he heard Kerra's laughter, from the car came Kia in hysterics, laughing her ass off.

"Does it look… like I'm… OK?!"

"Well… let's face it; you never really were "OK" in life…" Yazoo smirked, making quotation marks gestures.

Leaping up, Kadaj tackled his brother, and together the two flew into the surrounding woods. Kerra and Kia watched the two brothers battle it out.

Kerra got into the drivers seat, since Kia couldn't drive, and started the car as they continued to watch the fight.

"Should we stop them?" Asked Kia softly, clutching her throbbing head.

Kerra shook her head, a wicked grin playing on her face.

"Hell yes, this is better than MTV! Oooh, that had to hurt!"

"You said it!"

Kerra glanced at Kia.
"Maybe we should get out the first aid kit-"

They both stared as Kadaj was sent flying (and screaming) past the windshield… then burst into hysterical laughter… again.

***

Kia whimpered as Kerra hit another bump and grabbed her head. In the backseat, Kadaj and Yazoo glanced fearfully at one another. Kerra continued to concentrate on her driving.

"Uh!" Kia moaned as they hit another bump.

"Tell me why we let you drive again?!"

"Because Yahoo and K-Widdles back there are to idiotic to drive (plus they can't act their age for five seconds!!! \ /), and because you went and got yourself basically killed!"

"Yeah, but that wasn't my fault, it was Yahoo's…"

Kadaj's head suddenly appeared between the two front seats.

"Uh, you do know that it's Yazoo, right?"

"Shut it, K-Widdles!"

The mustang suddenly bounced as they hit yet another bump, causing Kia to screech in annoyance. Holding her head in her hands, she glared at Kerra.

"Dear Lord, please, please, please let me faint before it happens!"

Yazoo raised a silver eyebrow. "Before what happens?"

"Before we crash and die [*whimper*]…"

Next to her, Kerra growled.

"Yeah, but at least I'd be missed if I died!"

Kia gasped, looking shocked and a little hurt.

"Kerra! How could you?! You know they probably don't have many friends!" She whispered angrily, glancing at Yazoo and Kadaj sympathetically.

"Kia, I was talking about yo-"

"Don't say Yazoo's name! Gosh, you want them to know that we're talking about them?!"

Kadaj scratched his head confusedly. "Uh Kia, you do know we're right here, right?"

"YES! And that is why me and Kerra are whispering, so you two don't hear anything!"
"But we heard everythin-"

Kerra sighed and shook her head.

"-Dude, just give up. It's what we all must learn to do in the face of a true moron."

"Will you stop insulting them?!"

***

Kia nearly flew out of the car as they pulled into the back of the driveway. Behind her, Kadaj slid out looking bored, followed by Yazoo, who had tensed uneasily as soon as Kerra had opened the garage door. Kerra walked over to where Kia was leaning against the wall and tapped her shoulder gently.

"Hey, do you need- WHOA!"

Kerra screamed in surprise as she was pushed halfway across the garage (the very big, nearly ten car garage…). Kadaj cleared his throat and brushed his hands together, suddenly putting on his "Oh pwease, pwease love me!" face. Or, as Yazoo had nicknamed it, his "Kissing ass" look.

"-Any help? Do you need any help, Kia?"

"Hm?"

Kia looked up, unaware of what Kadaj had just done, and was immediately swept up in his enormous, green eyes.

He's so cute!

Yazoo sighed.

"Oh brother!"

Kerra snorted from where she was lying on the ground.

"Hey Yazoo, did you mean that as in "Oh, my brother" like you guys are always saying, or like the saying, which could also mean "oh man", "Oh darn", "Oh-"?!"

"-OK, we get it! I meant … wait, what?!"

Kadaj rolled his eyes, but remained next to Kia.

"You think you'll be alright?"

Kia shrugged.

"Yeah, sure."

What she really wanted to say, though, was: NO! I'm not all right at all, so I need you to carry me! PWEASE! YOU'RE SO CUTE!

"Um, I'm not alright!"

"Yeah, but no one cares about you, Kerra."

"Gee, Kadaj, I would say the same thing about you! Only, I don't think you have anyone to not care about you!"

Kadaj's mouth dropped open in surprise, and Kia started to giggle. Turning away, Yazoo's made a face.

"Damn!"

***

"Let's go see how Meg's doing!"

Kerra rolled her eyes, but followed Kia as she raced across the grand entryway and up the staircase.

"She's probably still out cold!"
Behind them, Kadaj winced when he heard this and scratched his neck in embarrassment. Yazoo noticed.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Uh… Let's just say it was my fault… But! She's ok!"

"Well isn't that just great! Glad you didn't kill her…"
Peering at Kerra and Kia, Yazoo bit his lip.

"Er… what're their names again?"

Kadaj raised an eyebrow at his older brother.

"Really Yazoo? Aren't you supposed to be the smart one? Who, like, knows everything and memorizes random shit?"

Yazoo frowned and whacked his brother upside the head.

"Ow!"

"What are their names K-Widdles?"
"How dare you!"

*SLAP*

"OwW! Bitchslap much?!"

"Are you calling me a girl?!"
"Well…"

"Grrrr!"

"HEY! No touchie! I will CUT YOU!"

"…Heh… Hehe… Hehehe… Muhahahahahaha!"

"Hey… Yazoo! Back off… Stay…. STAY! NO! NOT A NUGGIE! My PERFECT hair!!!"

Kerra and Kia stopped mid-step on the staircase, both eyeing one another as they listened to the commotion behind them. Slowly they both turned around to see Yazoo sitting on top of a struggling Kadaj, nuggie-ing the hell out of him. Slowly, very, very slowly, they both turned back around.

"Wow."

"Yeah."

…..

"That's almost as bad as when you and your brother fight."

"Yeah, except when we fight I'm usually not scarred for life afterwords… But Kadaj…."

Turning back around, the two made "Ouch that's gotta hurt" faces at the sight they saw, then quickly swiveled and sprinted up the stairs and out of sight.

"MY HAAAIIIRRR!"

"I seriously need to consult with Loz as to why we chose you to be our leader…"

***

Meg leapt about a foot in the air as the far off screams of Kadaj reached Kia's family's art room. Flinging down her pencil, she rushed from the room on silent feet and sped down the halls, twisting and turning until she came to Kia's room. Swerving into it, she took a flying leap and landed on the bed. In order for her prank to be completely perfect, she would have to fake unconsciousness; she couldn't get caught!

***

Kia turned around when they reached the hallway that led to her room.

"Remember Kerra, she might still be asleep, so we have to be quiiiet!"

Kerra nodded and together they began to slowly tiptoe down the hall.

Suddenly, right when they'd made it to just outside Kia's door, there was a thundering sound behind them. Shouts echoed off the walls, and the ground began to shake…

"I'm gonna win!"

"You never win!"

Something shattered; the rumblings kept on getting closer.

Suddenly, Kadaj and Yazoo shot past Kerra and Kia and roared to a halt beside the door to Kia's room.

"I won!"

"That explains why I was here first."

"Aw shut up Yazoo! Why can't you ever let me win?!"

"… Again! I am questioning the logic behind you as leader!"

Kia stalked up to Kadaj and poked him in the chest, Kerra glared at the two evilly.

"What the hell?!"

"Wha-?"

"-Didn't we just say that she might still be unconscious?!"

Kadaj considered this while Yazoo gazed boredly off into the distance.

"Prehaps…"

Kia shook her head and began to roll up her sleeves.

"I'm gonna kill you!"

WAAGH!"

Kadaj leapt scaredly behind Yazoo, who rolled his eyes and threw his hands into the air.

"You can't use me as a shield to hide from your problems, little brother."

"Yes, but I can use you to block me from the crazy thing that's trying to kill me!"

Kerra suddenly intervened, her expression puzzled.

"Wait a minute… How'd you too find your way here? I mean, yeah Kadaj has been this way once before, but he's too much of an idiotic freak to remember! And Yazoo was never here!"

Kadaj frowned.

"Well that was a fresh choice of words to describe me!"

Yazoo shook his head.

"Actually, I have been this way once before."

Kadaj raised his eyebrows, but nodded.

"Yazoo likes to memorize things. It helps!"

Kia scratched her neck.

"So, uh, who let you in? It wasn't Arri- er, a guy with blond hair, was it?!"

"Hm? Nope, it was some girl with long black hair…"

Yazoo proceeded to tell them all of how Meg had told him that Kerra and Kia had kidnapped Kadaj (which made Kadaj laugh and point at Kia's "weak" muscles), and of her instructions to scare them shitless.

Kia and Kerra's eyes narrowed, making the boys take a step back from their menacing glares.

"She tried to prank us!"

"She DID prank us!"

The two girls looked at one another murderously, then at Yazoo and Kadaj, then back at one another.

"We kill her."

"Agreed."

Yazoo looked surprised.
"What?!"

"She was lying to you dude; she tricked you! She's just mad 'cause we made her faint in a little prank we pulled… And then left her…"

Everyone slowly sank into menacing states of anger, and all eventually revolved around to glare at the door to Kia's room, where from within Meg probably resided.

"Shall we get her?"

Yazoo asked, raising an eyebrow.

"We shall."

"And then can we have some noodles?!"

Everyone turned around to give Kadaj weirded out looks.
"Noodles?"

Yazoo sighed.

"He was always a strange child."

Kia and Kerra looked at one another.

"We know."
