Stop teasing me game! T-T I know I shall never own thee!!

Oh, and sorry for not updating sooner! I was out visit family like, three states away... But I'm back now, so yah! Onwards!

X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+X+

Okay, it was freaky enough to have the door opened by an entire parade of girls.

It was even freakier to realize that the farmer was a dude, and not one of these chicks knew a watering can from a brush, except that one girl with the brown hair in the corner.

Then, it was completely messed up that they were in charge of the farm while "Mr. Farmer" is away on family business.

But what would probably scar Keia for life, was the fact that three out of the four girls her age had swarmed her, forced her into the farmer's clothing, and were currently doing her hair...AGAINST HER WISHES MIND YOU! Boy, Keia was twitching that entire night.

"So let me get this strait, dear..." The blonde girl, Muffy or so her name was, spoke brushing out Keia's hair before it frizzed from the recent hair drying. "You fell in the stream, because you tripped over a raccoon?"

She nodded, but was quickly pulled back as Celia, or that quiet brown haired one she mention earlier, yanked a piece back for the small set of millions of braids she was making. Keia estimated her at about 15 so far. "Oh, was it Rocky? He's always hanging around Vesta's place. He's so cute though!" She made a small giggle while snapping another rubber band around the still slightly damp hair.

"Cute? That thing keeps coming down to the mines begging for food almost every night! I can't sleep with that thing scratching at my tent!" The other blonde that had whisked poor Keia away, Flora apparently, sighed drastically and shook her head. "I pity the thing, I really do... but honestly Celia...can't you feed it at your place?"

Celia grumbled working on her new braid project. "But Vesta and Marlin would get mad. And they've always been so nice to me..."

"Yes dear, but I'm gonna get mad at both of you if you continue to bicker!" Muffy stated sharply waving around the stiff bristled hair brush, reminding Keia never to cross her path with brush as a weapon.

On the other side of the room, the little girl Keia had come to know as Lumina who actually turned out to be her age, just looking younger than reality, was staring at her phone and bag that had mysteriously appeared behind Keia.

Damn you Steiner!! Keia mentally shook a fist at the image of the smirking silver haired thief. But at least he had been kind enough to leave her necklace in a side pouch of the bag. She sighed lightly at the reminder of her upcoming service to the public...temptation not to turn in a wanted criminal and keeping Ciro from knowing.

Keia took all of her concentration to keep from laughing as the small brunette jumped nearly five feet when Keia's cell phone went off. All the other girls stopped as well, and even the red head in the far corner of the room, Nami or something, looked up in confusion of the new noise. Extending her hand, Keia laughed lightly motioning for the ringing device shamelessly blaring out "Rip out the Wings of a Butterfly" by H.I.M. "Here, hand it over..."

Quickly, the black, blue, and silver detailed device was in her hand and Keia had it flipped open and talking, the three girls around her exchanging glances before leaning in slightly.

"Jesus Keia! Are you alright?!"

Blinking in surprise at Yukita's scream, Keia nodded even though he could not see. "Um, yah? Why do you ask Yuki-san?"

"Our sibling connections kicked in Kei!"

Keia rolled her eyes at Kudamasu's voice screaming through. "Honestly guys! I'm fine!"

"We heard you were attacked by a bear, what's going on?!"

Leave it to Hareu to flip out over nothing. "I'm...FINE!"

"...guys, leave Keia alone and give me the damn phone..."

Keia nearly laughed in relief as Ciro stole the phone back from her other three brothers and she could hear his feet scraping as he began to pace the floor in the kitchen. She sighed noting that ever since her dad went he seemed to do that a lot.

"Alright, Keia, gonna ask you once, and only once. Did you, or did you not get attacked by a bear/cow/rooster/barracuda/cro...Honestly guys..." He sighed lightly and Keia did her best not to snicker realizing that he was reading off a list. "crocodile/ostrich thing?" And the best part, he just said the most hilarious thing to her all evening, in a monotoned voice. Which to some people is completely boring, but to Keia who already could tell the look of horror, panic, and slight annoyance on Ciro's face, she was cracking up on the other side.

"No no, Ciro... I'm fine, really! I've been abducted by the local girls since the inn was closed, but other than that, I'm doing pretty good..." For someone kept against her will in all that is girly and preppy! Dear god Ciro! SAVE ME!!

"Well, if you're sure you are okay... Tomorrow try heading back to the farm. After all, keep up your current destructive behavior Keia-chan, and I'll just come down there and escort you myself!"

Keia nodded back with a large smile plastered on her face. "Yah yah, Ciro-san... But listen, I have to go, the girls are trying to sleep..." She sent them all a wink and a shh sign for cooperation. "Yah yah, love you too and all that jazz... I'll talk to you when I get to the farm. Night!" With a sigh, Keia clicked shut her only sanity line and tossed the phone back to Lumina, who in turn quickly shoved the thing back into the side pouch she found it in.

Squeaking, Keia soon found herself quickly surrounded by the three girls.

"Who"

"Was"

"That?!"

Keia squeaked as Muffy, Celia, and Flora literally pounced her for information with their wide eyes. Laughing nervously, she managed to push them away and rub the back of her hair, half in braids and the other half in, well...nothing really. "That, that was my brother Ciro..." Keia quickly paled at the faces each girl was giving the other. The same face she had seen all to much on the stalkers of her brothers. "Hold it!" She shouted holding out her arms causing Muffy, Celia, and Flora to jump about five feet. "No stalking my brother, get it, got it good?! He's married ya crazy chicks and I'm sure there's men here for you!"

She couldn't help but laugh at their faces as they stared in disbelief at her.

"No way...he sounded so much..."

Flora cut Muffy off. "Younger... Like...he was 15 or something..."

That comment sent Keia to the ground in pearls of laughter and tears. "C-Ciro?! 15?!" She was rolling around as the other girls stared at her on in confusion. Blinking, Muffy glanced to Flora with a confused face.

"What did we say?"
