Another week or so, another chapter. At least we update. I usually don't. Kisa usually doesn't either. Together though, we are unstoppable!

God Damn It Stop Biting Your Nails! 9

Patty licked her lips as she worked, adjusting over and over again which way the ears should point as they perched on top of an unwilling Kid.

"Patty," He growled suddenly when she stepped back to admire her work, "It's bad enough I have to wear this, but at least make the EARS symmetrical!"

Immediately Kid threw up his arms and desperately tried to correct the slight bend Patty had put in one ear and not the other. All it did was make the blonde giggle louder.

Well they did it. It took a full two hours with Kid kicking and screaming and at one point sobbing. But they finally got him into the bunny suit. All it took was Patty who said (with her scary face) that Kid would be scum if he didn't honor a deal. It shut him up for a while, whether it be a realization causing this or just plain shock, it worked for them.

The bunny suit was a baby pink color, which made the situation all the worse for Kid. It wouldn't have been quite so humiliating if it was gray or even a light blue, but no, he had to wear a girly looking bunny suit instead of just a bunny suit.

Kid grumbled about this as he climbed down the stairs cautiously, the rabbit feet making the otherwise spacious stairway slightly more treacherous. Liz looked up from her magazine in the living room, and Kid could immediately see the strain on her face as she kept herself form laughing.

"Wow, Kid," she started, her voice clipped as she barely stifled a snicker, "Pink's a good color on you."

"Save it, Liz," Kid snapped, and turned his back away and walking towards the dining room to eat breakfast. He could hear muffled hysterical laughter being poorly muffled by a couch pillow, while Patty just cackled like usual on the floor. There would be hell to pay later tonight.

With Meghan and Laura,

"C'mon Meggie, hurry hurry!" Laura bounced up and down in the kitchen/dining room of their apartment while Meghan made breakfast, being careful of her healing leg. Eggo waffles were being toasted, and Meghan was frying a few eggs for herself. Despite her friend's endless harping (through years of practice), she managed to successfully flip her eggs onto a plate. The ding of the toaster sounded for both of them a moment later and Laura jumped up in anticipation.

"There." Meghan said as she laid both plates on the table and Laura got drinks and silverware, "What are you so-Gah! Laura, slow down! You're gonna choke!" Meghan pounded on Laura's back as the girl started shoving in her waffles and coughing. The waffles had been in there for so little time they came out mostly intact, if not a little slobbery. Meghan grimaced and ate her eggs with a little more difficulty, but Laura shrugged and continued to eat, albeit a little slower.

"Is there a prank I don't know about going off at school today? What's your rush to get there so fast?" Laura had surprised her friend today by waking her up instead of the other way around. Laura would get up when she absolutely had to, but she was usually very grumpy when she did.

Laura grinned and Meghan felt a chill go down her spine, "You'll see."

And that was all she could get out of her, even though she kept questioning her for the rest of the morning up until they arrived at the school's front steps and up on the front plateau, where the students conglomerated until the first bell rang.

At that point Meghan had resorted to not talking to Laura at all in her frustration. She hated being out of the loop, it made her feel like she was being ignored and that she was unimportant. But a familiar flash of white and yellow caught her eye and she noticed Soul and Maka walking towards them.

"Woah," Soul whistled upon sight of Meghan's cut, "You get in a fight with a bear or something?"

Meghan blushed and slipped the leg behind the other embarrassed, "No, I uh,fell in the ocean."

Soul laughed and Maka 'Maka' chopped him. The pigtailed girl was about to offer her apologies on behalf of her weapon, when a familiar monkey like teen was seen rapidly plummeting toward them from the top of the building.

"Yaaahhhoooo!"

Everyone nonchalantly stepped out of the way, and Black Star landed not too far in front of them.

"Hello Black Star," they sighed, as Tsubaki approached from a few feet away.

"Hey, Laura, you up for sparring?" Black star grinned.

"But Black Star, class is going to start soon, you can't!" Tsubaki pointed out, but looked sheepish when Black Star gave her a questioning look.

"But I'm the almighty powerful Black Star! Nothing restricts me, especially not a few teachers. I can spar whenever I want!"

Tsubaki looked tired already, so Laura decided to help her out. If the timing was right of course. Just in case, the brown haired girl glanced down the steps of Shibusen and smirked.

"I'll think you'll be a little too distracted to spar today Black Star." She said, and this time everyone gave her a confused look.

Soul looked in the direction she was looking and his eyes widened, "Is that-?"

Indeed it was. Meghan's jaw went slack and her mouth went wide open for all the bugs in Shibusen to fly into when she saw kid. In a bunny suit. A PINK bunny suit..

WTF?

Maka couldn't even find the strength to 'Maka' chop Soul as he collapsed to his knees in uncontrollable laughter. She was having too much trouble holding her own giggles in. Tsubaki gave him a sympathetic, but clearly shocked expression, but you could clearly see her try not to smile, and Black Star burst in his own boisterous guffaws. Laura was rolling on the ground holding her stomach and crying tears of mirth.

Meghan was the only one still, too confused and blown away to do anything.

Kid tried not to let the laughter bother him, he expected it. Anyone dressed as a bunny should expect it. But just because he expected it, it didn't mean it wouldn't make him all the more miserable.

"Yes yes, it's all very funny, hardy har." Kid snapped. Soul managed to calm down enough to sit up,

"I'm diggin the ears, Peter cotton butt."

A fresh wave of laughter broke out that even got a snort out of Maka.

Kid's eyebrow twitched, and he was about to stomp away, when he heard the familiar clicks of a bolt being twisted around curiously. He turned slowly to see Stein staring at him, expression unreadable.

"Stein sensei?"

Stein made no move, but one of his hands twitched. Kid realized what he wanted to do.

He sighed, "Yeah. Go ahead."

THUD

Kid rubbed the latest fail stamp on his forehead. He could feel a symmetry tantrum coming on.

That was when the other students noticed him, and openly stared.

He didn't try to fight it anymore.

"Dammit!" He collapsed and pounded the ground with a fist, "I'm Garbage! I'm an embarrassment to all Shinigami! I'll die! Just leave me here to rot!" Meghan sighed; at least now she knew it was really Kid. The bell rang, and the other students left Kid out of their sight, reluctantly. Somehow, Liz and Patty managed to drag him into the school and sit him in a seat a few rows away from Laura and Meghan.

Kid had just about had enough by the time science rolled around. Not only had people been mocking him, others were starting to take pictures to post everywhere. Seen enough, his entire reputation would be shot. He needed to get the bunt suit off. Now.

"You okay, Kid?" Maka asked from behind him at her lab table.

"No. I'm not," Kid replied.

"I don't know why you're so angry; you're getting so much attention. Hey, maybe I should wear a bunny suit," Black Star said as he watched Tsubaki mix chemicals. No one trusted Black Star in science.

"I don't want this attention," Kid said gritting his teeth. The next step for the experiment required him to put the tube over a fire and take observations on it. Patty said that she would do it, but Kid said no. Liz knew better than to ask so she watched him.

It was as Kid was about to put the tube over the fire that he had an idea. HE knew a way to get the stupid suit off. He had already tried unzipping it, but the zip was locked somehow. Everyone had steered him away from any sharp objects to cut the fabric, and the material was too strong to rip. But there was something he hadn't tried.

Fire.

Without thinking any longer, he grabbed the Bunsen burner. Patty stared at him with open eyes and Liz jumped up and tried to take it away. Most of the rest of the class watched in astonishment as he held the flame to his arm to burn the material. No one wanted to move lest they knock it from him and set the whole school on fire, or knock it towards him and burn him.

"Kid, hand me the fire!"

"No, I need to get this off!"

"Kid!"

Several students gasped or looked away when he touched the flame to the suit when all of the sudden the flame stopped. Kid blinked and looked around for the source. He saw Laura staring back at him in front of the gas switch. She had turned off the gas.

"Why did you do that?" Kid screamed.

"As if I'd let you off that easy," Laura smirked and leaned against the wall. Kid began pounding the ground in frustration and the whole class released a huge sigh.

"Kid, don't scare us like that again," Maka said as she patted him on the back. Kid continued on like a beaten puppy. He could not get out of this suit and would spontaneously burst into sobs and fits of frustration. Everyone figured that as long as he could go into hysterics like that he would be fine.

However, as the day went on, Kid felt the suit was getting warmer and warmer.

It was understandable, it was close to summer time in Nevada, and he was in a large furry suit, with no ventilation. Kid started to feel fatigued as he sat heavily in his seat.

"How are you holding up?" Liz asked, she could tell that her mesiter was acting a bit off. He had stopped sulking and just did nothing.

"Fine..." He mumbled.

He wasn't, though. Soon enough, his vision started to blur, and he got dizzier and dizzier. He wanted water, but since it was the middle of class, he couldn't get water. So thirsty… so tired.

Fwump.

"Kid!" Liz exclaimed, pulling her bunny suit clad meister off the floor, a worried hum resounded through the classroom. Laura and Meghan sat forward curiously.

"What happened?" Stein asked monotonously, wheeling his chair to the front of the room.

"Kid fainted!" Liz cried out, shaking her red faced meister, "I think he's overheated."

Stein sighed exasperatedly, "Someone will have to take him home. And before you ask, no, neither you nor Patty is allowed to go. Both of you have missed way too much school already." Before Liz could protest and explain that their tardiness was due to Kid as well, Laura's voice chimed in from the back.

"Meggie'll do it!" She held her friend's arm up while the black haired girl was distracted.,

"Eh?" "Fine, get a move on, scoot." Stein gave a shooing motion with his hand. Meghan sighed, and with extreme difficulty lugged Kid up and out of the school towards his house, tripping several times.

"Kid, you owe me big time..." she grumbled, finally heaving the unconscious Kid, still in the stupid bunny suit, and running upstairs to the bathroom. She grabbed a few wash cloths, wetting them with cold water.

"Hang on Kid, I'm coming!" she ran down the stairs two at a time, almost falling but somehow making it, and slid across the floor. If heat stroke wasn't dealt with accordingly, Kid could slip into a coma, and she wanted none of that. She almost screamed to see he was still slumped there, in the god damn bunny suit.

"Kid, take OFF the bunny suit!" Meghan hollered, pulling him up and yanking the hood down. She blushed heavily, but found the back zipper and after a minute of figuring out how to unlock it, unzipped it for him. Finally, the disoriented Kid was freed out of his fluffy prison and fell back onto the couch. Meghan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally laid the cooled wash cloths on his forehead and neck, hoping to get his temperature back to normal.

"If you sit there for a while you should feel better," Meghan said out loud, more to herself than anything. She briefly went over what she knew about heat stroke. Symptoms were obviously fatigue, confusion, dizziness, thirst- Meghan yelped when she felt arms clamp around her and pull her down. It was Kid…sort of. It certainly didn't seem like Kid, because he was hugging her very very tightly and was entirely too close for comfort. Meghan started struggling out of his tight grip to no avail. That's right, the other symptom was strange behavior. Well this was definitely strange.

"Kid, can you release me now?" Meghan waited for a response, but heard nothing except meaningless mutterings.

"Uh, Kid? Kid? KID?" Meghan desperately tried to wriggle free, but couldn't. his arms were too strong and she was too weak. She made a mental note to train with Laura sometime… okay, maybe not with Laura. On her own. She would train on her own. This didn't help her current situation though.

For a few minutes, Meghan just sat there feeling awkward, hoping that he'd come to on his own. When her patience ran out she began to try a different tactic.

"Kiiid," Meghan sang as if enticing a child with cookies, "I'm gonna bite my nails if you don't wake up."

"Mm, don't bite your nails," Kid muttered loud enough for her to hear. What? Was he awake. Meghan turned her head to see his face only to realize how close they were and turned back around blushing like a beet. She had just seen his face long enough to know he was still out of it. It was like he was in a trance where he would respond to her questions. This could be fun.

"Kid, you're now in a forest, a symmetrical one, and playing happily in the grass," Meghan started and heard a sigh of content. "Suddenly, you see a bunny. The bunny says hello."

"I say hello back," Kid mumbled. Meghan suppressed a giggle and moved on.

"The bunny asks if you like it."

"Yes, I like the bunny. It is symmetrical."

"Now the bunny is growing. It is becoming the size of a human and changing into something else. It is changing into a bunny suit."

The words "bunny suit" had an immediate effect on Kid. He squeezed Meghan tighter causing her to yelp and started exuding a murderous intent. He also began gnashing his teeth together. Still, he did not seem to wake from his trance-like state. And Meghan began losing air.

"Ack! Sorry! It's me, Meghan! Stop hurting me!" Meghan squealed trying to pry his hands off. Then he relaxed. Meghan turned to see him smiling. He looked… cute.

"Mm… Meghan," Kid whispered. Meghan's eyes immediately bulged out and her face went as red as a fire truck.

"W-What? Uh, hello? Kid?" Meghan began squirming again, in hopes of weaseling out instead of using force, but could not.

"Don't move so much," Kid mumbled. Meghan stopped struggling and stared at him.

"Kid?"

"If only you'd stop biting your nails…"

"Well, geez, sorry!"

"Then maybe we could…" Kid never did finish that sentence because it was then that Laura decided to burst into the room. When she saw Meghan and Kid on the couch, hugging, though, she closed the door.

"Laura! Help!" Meghan called out.

"Oh, I wasn't seeing things," Laura remarked as she opened the door again and walked inside, "so why is this happening?"

"I don't know! I was trying to cool him down, but his brain's fried," Meghan tried to explain, failing miserably.

"Ah. I see. I shall help." Meghan raised an eyebrow at what Laura would do, but stopped when Laura reached over and yanked Meghan loose from Kid and picked Kid up and threw him over her shoulder. Actually, she still had the eyebrow raised.

"I'm just going to dump him in the shower. Later." Meghan blinked twice. Why didn't she think of that. It would've saved her from that embarrassing situation. And she never did hear what Kid was going to say. Maybe they could be… she would never know.

Sighing, Meghan flopped on the couch and stared at the ceiling. Then she realized that she was on the bunny suit and straightened up with a snap. She brought a finger to her mouth and looked up as Laura came downstairs with a sopping wet Kid wrapped in a towel.

"I cooled him down. You take him back to his apartment okay? Liz and Patty must be worried."

"No need, we've come to pick him up. Hope he wasn't too much of a bother," Liz said walking in through the door with Patty in tow.

"N-No, he wasn't too much trouble," Meghan reassured. Liz questioned it and looked to Laura. Laura gave a I'll-tell-you-later motion that MEgha ncouldn't see and Liz backed off.

"Aww, no more bunny," Patty said with a frown.

"No, but you can keep the suit since you worked on it," Laura offered. Patty squealed with glee and picked up the suit. Liz picked up Kid and off they went. As soon as the door shut, Laura rounded on Meghan.

"So I wan the details on what just happened by the way," Laura said sitting next to Meghan.

"Why me?" Meghan mumbled putting her head in her hands.

Later that night,

The blue haired wonder snuck like the true assassin he was into Kid's mansion later that night. After ducking through many shadows and corners, he finally found the desired goods.

"Finally, " he muttered to himself, "no one will get more attention than me now!" The ninja cackled to himself as he ran out to the night, the bunny suit in his grip.

As much as I had fun writing this, it was hard. I can't imagine Kid in a bunny suit really. For people with similar problem, we have a picture for you!

On my homepage, near the top, is a link to a picture Kisa made of Kid in a bunny suit. YAY!

Kisa: It was fun to draw.

Me: It's also fun to look at. So go see it!

C ya l8r!
