Casualties

Thank you for the reviews and for reading it. I have come to enjoy writing these little snippet things. Though this one is not up to my usual standards.

"Just three more days. Just three more days. Just three more-"

"What are you chanting about?"

Looking up from where I am laying on the living floor I see Vergil sitting in the lazyboy, eating a sandwich. Blowing a piece of hair out of my face I sit up to take a break from my school books in front of me.

"Just three more days until this trimester ends and I no longer have to suffer and the wrinkled hands of my science teacher!" I strike a pose of victory and hum the Star Wars theme song. Oh how I shall rejoice come Friday afternoon at 2:20. He smirks but my pose and his smirk fall flat as the door opens and Dante walks in.

"What's with the books?"

"Cramming."

"What's cramming?"

"The act of shoving large amounts of information into the brain in a small amount of time."

"Why cramming then?"

"Finals in two days."

"Why bother we know you are never going to get anywhere in life."

Shuffle. Shuffle. Yell. Thud.

"Thank you Vergil."

"No problem. He was interrupting Jerry Springer anyway."

I find Vergil watching the Jerry Springer show highly amusing and laugh. He seems to find amusement in the show. Can't say I don't either. Wonder where everyone is...

"I DON'T WANT NO SCRUBS!"

"Oh sweet devil." Both Vergil and I speak at the same time when we hear the singing beginning as a car dies in the driveway. "HIDE!" A horrified Trowa bellows from somewhere in the house and a flurry of movement is activated. Diving for my books I pile them up ontop of the coffee table and then dive in the back corner of the living room behind a table, couch, and book shelf. Pulling the blanket down off the back off the couch I huddle within it. Through a crack between the table and couch I see Vergil go diving under the computer desk.

I notice others come running into the living room to find hiding places as well. Sesshoumaru shoves Rin in an empty cabinet on the entertainment station...thing. Sesshoumaru himself joins me behind the couch and I cling to him in horror. Trowa comes running in to hide beneath the sink. Wow. I did not know he could bend like that...Quatre is a lucky buck ain't he?

Quiet desends on the house- THUD.

Into the house comes Duo singing at the top of his lungs while dragging a scared and rather stressed looking Heero. Duo stops as he enters further into the living room to be welcomed by silence.

"Wonder where everyone is." A gleam enters his eyes. "Ready or not HERE I COME!"

Clinging tightly to Sesshoumaru I pray and pray and pray that Duo doesn't decide to look behind the couch. I hear footsteps coming closer and a shudder rakes my body. Oh gods and goddesses please don't let him look behind the couch!

Oh I suppose I should explain why we are hiding shouldn't I ? Okay! Well when Heero has to go buy something at the mall Duo goes along...and comes back on a huge sugar high and then proceeds to TEAR apart the living room and attack/molest EVERYTHING on two legs. The first time it happened poor Rin had nightmares for months and Duo was almost killed by Sesshoumaru. Positive thing is that we know for a fact that Sesshie actually cares about something.

Oh sweet cheez-its! The footsteps are coming closer! AH! On the verge of panic I cling tighter to Sesshoumaru while praying for a miracle. Then suddenly it comes!

Dante comes storming into the house positivly pissed about Vergil throwing him bodily from the house earlier. He stops dead and I can sense him forming the words: "oh no" with his mouth.

I cover my ears as a screeching is heard and then silence.

"Everyone can come out know. Dante took of and Duo went after him." Heero speaks quietly from where he has fallen onto his belly on the couch. We proceed with caution from our hiding places. Trowa comes creeping out from under the sink brushing cobwebs off of his green shirt. Vergil comes out from under the computer desk brushing his black turtleneck off and acting as if nothing had happened and he had not been hiding under the computer desk. We hear a squeak and Sesshoumaru rushes over to open the cabinet that Rin is in. She leaps out onto Sesshoumaru shaking.

"I thought he was going to get you Sesshoumaru-sama!"

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK BUNNY RAPIST!" We hear Dante's running steps as he runs for the house thinking to lock Duo outside and be safe inside. Too bad for him Vergil decides to lock the door at this moment.

Thud. (Again.)

"NOOOOOO!" After a minute or two of dragging noises and silence we all give a deep sigh of relief. In this battle for survival we have won...Though we were not sure wether or not to consider Dante a casualty.

(Just an added piece of amusment I typed later on.)

The Next Night

"No! No! NO! Don't die!"

"So how many times has she watched this movie now?"-Sesshoumaru.

"I think this screening make it seven times today."-Vergil

"You think she would stop screaming after the second time. She knows he doesn't die but she just keeps screaming."-Heero.

"Maybe she has short term memory loss or something."-Dante.

"Yeah. After she watches it she forgets what she watched so she has to watch it again."- Duo

"I would stop talking about her if I were you."-Vergil

"Whats she gonna do? Ki-" I leap up from my place on the floor to smack Duo upside the head and hog tie Dante. "STOP talking during the movie!" I hiss at them and then plop back down into my nest of blankets and pillows. Flicking one last angry gaze at them I speak once more. "And I do not have short term memory loss!"

Inspired by coming up finals and watching Doom WAY to many times. I love Karl Urban.
