Wah! I'm sorry! Don't hurt me! I'm sorry I didn't update sooner! Avoids arrows
Anyway, I whipped - I mean whipped - this abnormally short story up just to show you that I hadn't forgotten about all my fantastic readers nn; Yes, I am still working on them, and I have a chapter all ready to go for Halloween.
My Peanut
Kyo yawned. Getting up from bed and walking downstairs was always such a chore on a Sunday morning. Of course, when he reached the kitchen, the first thing he did was attempt to grab his milk – which due to lack of sleep missed three times – and drank over half of it.
"Kyo… you shouldn't drink out of the milk carton." Yuki said. He'd just woken up too. And he'd followed Kyo to the fridge, getting out some cheese, and broke a bit off, nibbling at it.
"Damn rat…"
"Oh." Yuki said, discovering a small peanut like blemish on the table. Yes, it was a peanut, one left over from Shigure's snack at 2 am in the morning. Blinking, Kyo followed Yuki in with his cereal. "I'll just pick it up and put it in the bin…"
"Papa."
Kyo blinked. Had the Peanut just… spoken to him! It certainly wasn't moving, but then again… "Papa"
Yuki's hand went in for the kill… and Kyo lopped it off with a kitchen knife. Screaming in pain, Yuki looked at Kyo, who was now cradling the peanut and telling it; "It's okay… it's okay…"
Yuki groaned, winced, and went off to dib-a-dob to Shigure.
"What in the hell are you doing, Kyo?" Yuki asked, his hand re-attached thanks to Hatori's stitches. (After singing the dib-a-dobbers wear nappies song four time, Shigure had decided to actually call the dragon. By then of course, Yuki was out cold.)
"I'm making a bed for Snookums."
"Snoo…kums?" Yuki asked, bewildered, watching Kyo build a small tissued bed in a match box for the rotten Peanut. If Yuki hadn't been so freaked out by Kyo's sudden behaviour – okay. So it'd been going on for a while, ever since Kowasu had been discovered… but hey. – he would have thought it was cute.
"Yuki-san, what is Kyo-kun doing?" Tohru asked, "I meant to throw out that peanut. Here Kyo, let me throw it in the bin."
Kyo hissed, glaring at Tohru, who fell into a fit of depression and went to get some knives out of the draw. Yuki sighed. It was time to bring out Hatori.
"Kyo. Give me the peanut." Hatori felt rather like he was talking to Akito. Kyo was still hissing at everybody. So much had happened today. He'd stitched Yuki's arms back on, persuaded Tohru not to kill herself, and now he was trying to get a peanut off of Kyo in a party cup like fashion. Unfortunately, Kyo was now ignoring him, and singing the Peanut – that was covered in ants – to sleep.
"Kyo, give me the peanut."
Hatori moved his hand toward the peanut and…
"NO! DON'T TAKE AWAY MY BABY! DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY!" Kyo screamed, clinging to Snookums.
Hatori paused. This was… just like…
"Kyo, where were you yesterday?"
"I was summoned to Akito, why?" Kyo asked suspiciously, glaring at Hatori's hand.
"How many party cups did you eat?"
"… Three."
I told you the story was abnormally short. And please, don't kill me, I still have no idea what to do for Ritsu... I'm still thinking! My mind is blank. BLANK I TELL YOU! Oh yeah, if you want to suggest any storylines for me, please don't hesitate. I need them oO;
