So. we're back to another chapter of "So you think you can get Meghan to stop biting her nails?" Okay, I know that's not the name, but it could be. Anyway, moving on, I hope you like this next chapter. I will have lots of fun writing it! Hehe, Kisa is playing Cooking Mama, so she won't read this until it's about halfway done... which gives me plenty of time to wreak havoc!

God Damn It Stop Biting Your Nails! 5

Kid was slowly running out of options. He paced back and forth in the center of his room, staring down the list he had made a few days ago. His list of ways, though plentiful, was daunting. The last three have completely failed him. He would need a new approach to this problem. No longer could he just prevent her from biting, he needed to make a consequence to it. Maybe she would learn then.

Liz and Patty watched Kid through the doorway as he muttered to himself.

"He's finally cracked like an egg!" Patty cackled leaning on the door frame for support.

"Yeah, maybe we should do something now?" Liz responded. As she said this, Kid stomped the ground and tripped on his own feet. As he tried to right himself, he knocked over his chair, unbalancing the room. He cried in anguish at the unbalance.

"Or we could leave him alone," Liz decided walking away, Patty laughing harder now. There wasn't a lot lot they could do to help Kid anyway.

As Kid cried on the floor, he looked at his tear-stained glove. One would think that he would cry out in anguish, but the sight inspired him to an idea he had previously written. Excited with this one, sure that it would work, he left to get the necessary supplies. He was confident that tomorrow Meghan would learn not to bite her nails.

Back at the ranch,

Meghan pondered the day's events as she laid on their couch playing country music. Kid had unsuccessfully tried to stop Meghan from her habit by crying, clinging and pleading. It failed, but he was sure to be back tomorrow. Meghan could only stare at the ceiling and hope that tomorrow would be better.

"Aw, come one, Meggie, he can't do much worse than that," Laura said when Meghan expressed her thoughts, taking the opposite side of the couch. She had just cleaned up after the syrup fight. It was delicious, but messy.

"That's what the last guy said before he disappeared."

"What happened to him?"

"No one knows; he disappeared."

"Oooh," Laura said, pretending she knew what was going on, "anyway, if he tried anything tomorrow, I'll be your shield, okay? I know today I wasn't much help, but tomorrow I promise I will be!"

Meghan stared at her for a second, unbelieving, but after Laura held her puppy eyes for five minutes straight, Meghan was forced to give in.

"Maybe I should just stay home tomorrow, maybe he'll get bored and stop if I'm not there."

Laura shook her head "Nu-uh, you gotta go to school, no skipping. Besides, he already knows where you live, he'll probably just show up here."

Meghan's face paled. Good God she was trapped.

The next morning, at Shibusen

Kid smirked to himself, surely this one would work, he had heard great things about this technique at the pet shop he bought it at. Naturally, he didn't think of Meghan as an animal, but she could be as stubborn as a mule. Either way, it would get the point across. His smirk deepened maliciously as he looked down at the squirt guns in both palms. There was no reason this wouldn't work.

Oh, if he could see into the future.

Meghan prepared herself the next morning, it was Monday, so it was not the best of days. She sluggishly put on her black sweatshirt, over her white t-shirt that said, "Obey the baby turtle," with a cartoon turtle under it. She pulled on a pair of jeans she liked, praying today would not be a disastrous day. She could deal with a normal Monday.

Laura met up with Meghan, wearing a white t-shirt that said, "If you are reading this, you are within punching distance," with a small fist under it. Her and Meghan bought the shirts at the same store, and were in sync enough that sometimes they did things like this.

Meghan was grateful for her sweatshirt as it was a cold Monday morning. Stupid Mondays.

Laura did her best to be Meghan's shield. She walked on Meghan's left, prepared to launch at anyone that resembled Kid, for he could be in disguise. Meghan forced her to stop when she nearly killed a boy who bent to pick up a dropped book. How was Laura supposed to know that he wasn't trying to sneak attack Meghan?

It was in this manner that they entered the classroom. They were early, but Maka was there with Soul, so they decided to see if they could learn anything else about Kid that could save Meghan.

"He is a little odd, but for the most part, he has the best intentions at heart," Maka said, trying to sound convincing.

"He's a total spazz attack," Soul said without care.

"We already knew that," Meghan said.

"We need something for ammunition," Laura explained.

Before Maka could question what that meant, Black Star dropped in on them from the ceiling, landing on Laura's left. Meghan jumped back, even though he wasn't close to her, but Laura caught her in time.

"See? I'm there for you." Meghan nodded, still unshaken.

"You said you need ammunition on Kid?" Black Star echoed as Tsubaki walked in though the door to stand behind him. Laura nodded, asking him to go on.

"Unfortunately, there isn't any ammunition on him, but I'll be on the lookout. As a trade-off, let me know when you can spar, I see that you've grown stronger since we last tried."

"You've grown stronger, too. It'll be a good match," Laura promised leading Meghan to her seat in the back row with the air of a body guard. Everyone looked at the two of them funny, but no one said anything. Laura was giving off a menacing aura.

Others were filing in when it happened. The enemy walked in with Liz and Patty in tow, carrying something hidden in his right hand. Laura tried to get a better glimpse, but she couldn't see what it was. He was hiding it well.

Meghan saw Kid walk in. For a moment she was fine, until she saw he was hiding something. Getting nervous, she began to bite her nails.

This was the opportunity Kid needed to try his new plot out. In his right hand, he carried the two guns. It took much convincing to himself that he could deal with the imbalance for five seconds as he walked in the room. He needed the element of surprise first, and he had it.

He threw one of the guns to his left hand and took aim at Meghan. She "eeped" when she saw them, but wasn't fast enough to duck. Smirking that he would get her, he fired. In slow motion, it happened. The water flew across the room, attracting many stares. Meghan closed her eyes for the impact of the water. She wasn't exactly afraid of it, but she still did not want to be wet. Then, her bodyguard sprang into action.

Laura lunged across her seat and shielded Meghan with her arms outstretched, her back to Meghan and glaring at Kid. He looked taken aback, but unperturbed. There would be other times. Even as he thought this, he heard Meghan's biting, and he needed to stop it.

Liz saw Kid's frustration and knew that this wasn't over yet. It wouldn't end until he squirted Meghan and stopped the biting. Liz sighed and took her seat behind Maka. Patty trailed along with a contented smile. There wasn't anything to laugh at, but she did clap when she saw Laura block the water.

Back to Kid's frustrations, he jumped around the room, to go for Meghan's back. Laura anticipated this and picked up one of her useless textbooks for a shield. She jumped over Meghan's head to block the shot that Kid fired. Brown eyes met gold in a glaring contest. This would be a tough battle for either side to win.

Kid had to get creative with his shots. He fired one in a lob, and then darted to the side to get Meghan's right arm. Laura saw the lob, calculated the route, and threw the textbook to meet it. She grabbed one of Meghan's from her bag, despite Meghan's small protest and used that to block the on from her side. After blocking she retrieved the textbook in air before it landed on Meghan's head.

The two combatants were now on the same row of desks staring each other down. Kid's brain rushed to think of ways to get past Laura. The students of the classroom were clearing away from the desks to the floor space to give them room to fight. None of them wanted to pick a side or be involved as a casualty either.

Black Star wanted to join in the battle, but he didn't know whose side to take. He knew that if he took Laura's side, it would be unfair to Kid, but he couldn't join Kid's side because he did not have a water gun. It was a dilemma for him. Tsubaki had no wish to enter the battle and was content to reamin impassive.

Maka and Soul just watched with blank expressions.

"As much as I should stop them," Maka began, "it is an interesting battle and I would like to know who wins. I'm also learning from this as well." Soul had taken the opportunity to catch up on his sleep; Maka had been trying to tutor him lately against his will, and his lack of sleep was not welcomed. So, this was the perfect time to catch up.

At some point of the students clearing the way, Stein had rolled in. He knew that he should stop them from fighting, but he figured it would be a good lesson anyway. It also gave him an opportunity to see Laura fight. Even though she was one of his students, he rarely saw her fighting. So, Stein contented himself just to watch.

As Laura and Kid continued to stare down, Meghan decided that she should do something useful. Laura's use of textbook shields was going to ruin their books. Meghan noticed that she had her black sweatshirt on and decided that it would be a good shield. Taking it off, she threw it at Laura saying, "Here, use this as a shield!"

Laura caught it in her left hand letting go of one of the textbooks in the process. The best defense was a good, offense, right?

Kid was in the middle of formulating a complicate sequence of shots when Laura jumped several feet and slammed the sweatshirt over his head backwards, and pulling up the hood so he couldn't see. This being completed, she flipped backwards and landed in front of Meghan.

Kid lost all thought when the hood covered his eyes. It took a second to register that he was in a sweatshirt, with his arms not in the sleeves, and a hood in his face. So many things about this frustrated him that he couldn't even form words and just screamed, wrenching the sweatshirt off.

He was now angry. Most of his gentlemanly nature gone, he glared at the two girls with malice. One girl continued to torture him with the destroying of nails, and the other prevented him from stopping the girl and annoying him in the process. Kid knew that a hot-head never won, so he cooled down long enough to think A moment's thought left him with an idea. He decided to just charge in. Why not? It would work.

Laura saw the fire in Kid swell up and deflate like a balloon. Then, he vanished for a second. Laura knew he was just moving quickly, and found him two feet ahead of her. Before she could say anything, he squirted her in the eyes, and pushed her aside with his left hand. He then aimed at Meghan with both hands, knowing that the distraction was gone. He squirted.

As Laura fell, she threw the text book in her hand. She knew she could not stop the water from hitting Meghan, so she aimed for Kid's left hand, and then lunged at the other one.

She and Kid grappled with each other, before Kid just gave up and Laura grabbed the gun. She was about to question why he stopped when she saw that he was blushing.

"Why are you-?" Laura started when she realized that her chest was a little wet, and therefore semi see through because it was white. Her eyes widened, not for herself because she could care less, but because she knew that Meghan was squirted, too. And Meghan was squirted a lot more than she was.

She and Kid turned to see Meghan completely frozen. Laura froze herself, not knowing what to do about the situation. At first, Kid blushed even more, before he realized something.

"At least your chest is symmetrical," he commented. That was what was needed for Meghan to squeak and hide under her desk. Laura promptly punched Kid in the face, sending him into the nearest wall. Taking action, Laura jumped and retrieved Meghan's sweater from where Kid and thrown it. Meghan took it, still refusing to come out from under the desk.

The students realized that the battle had ended and went to take their seats.

"Poor Meghan," commented Tsubaki. Black Star started laughing before going to congratulate Laura on Kid's defeat.

Stein rolled over to where Kid was in the wall and pulled out the fail stamp.

"Another to your collection," Stein said as he stamped Kid's forehead with it. Kid was knocked out at the time, so he did not respond.

Liz and Patty went over to their meiser and pried him from the wall. Patty propped him in his chair and took out a marker to doodle on his face. Liz took out a marker to make Patty's symmetrical so Kid didn't completely spaz when he woke up.

The rest of the day was uneventful, and Laura and Meghan went home.

"Are you okay Meggie?" Laura asked as they took off their shoes and Laura went to boil water; she was making pasta tonight for Meggie.

"I need the meat." Meghan answered, her voice hollow. This was one of those things that didn't happen often. Holy shit, Meggie was pissed.

"Um, here." Laura held it out for her friend and quickly pulled her hand back once it was received, just in case Meghan decided to bite her.

For the most part Meghan was really laid back and it took a lot to get her this irritated and angry. Normally, it was her that would be calming Laura down, that was a natural way to go about things. But this, Laura did not know what she could say that wouldn't piss Meghan off more.

Meghan raised her arm, transformed it into a hammer, and began attacking the meat with ferocity and anger, relentlessly pounding it.

All that Kid, Liz and Patty could hear outside of the small apartment was loud repetitive banging.

Kid blinked, wondering what on earth was going on. It sounded like someone was being killed. Suddenly fearful that the place was under attack, Kid wrenched open the door, it was unlocked, and jumped inside ready to attack whoever was there.

He was left speechless when he saw Meghan going to town on a piece of meat. He had heard that she was a hammer and ax, but seeing it in front of him was different. The hammer reached two feet in diameter and the ax on the other end was three feet in length. She was intimidating.

"Can I help you?" Laura said, turning to face him, seething with anger. Meghan turned, slowly as if turning on a hinge, and upon realizing who was there began glaring at him, fire from the very depths of Hell shining in her eyes. Kid was afraid.

"...um..." Kid stuttered, unable to form words at Meghan's intense stare. Laura urned to see her friend and looked back to Kid.

"You might want to run," Laura mouthed. Kid took this advice to heart and sprinted away without a glance back.

Liza and Patty followed him, not knowing what had transpired, but following him anyway.

Meghan focused her gaze on the door where he had just left before turning back to the meat.

"Yeah, you'd better run," she spat, bringing her arm down with such force that the table cracked underneath it. Laura gulped. Only God knows what tomorrow will bring.

Hmm, so that ends that. This chapter is longer than other because I got carried away with it. Sorry, I like detail.

Kisa: No more boob shots!

Me: Well, this is rated teen, for good reason. That's the end folks. Hope you liked it and review if you did!
