Thanks so much for reviewing, you've made my day! Read and Review as always! :D

Did I mention how cool you guys are? Here's to you! If I had a hat, I'd tip it to you. But because of my lack of hats, a simple thank you will suffice.

Tea Addicts Support Group!

Chapter Three:

Violation Consequences: The Dreaded Time-out Corner:

"No." Naru said stubbornly.

Mai put her hands on her hips. "Please?"

Naru's resolve faltered for a spilt second at the sight of her pout but he denied once again.

"Do I have to bring Lin in here?" She asked.

"I told Lin to take the day off." Naru raised his eyebrows expectantly. "What other ingenious ideas do you have to get me to go to that idiotic support group?"

Mai sighed. "I didn't want to have to do this but-"

She held out a cup of tea from behind her back and smiled cunningly. "Come on, if you want the tea you're going to have to come get it."

Naru eyed that tea like it was the key to his survival. "Mai-" He said slowly, as he inched towards her. "Give me the tea. Please."

Mai took a sip and smiled. "Mmmm,"

She backed out the door and he followed, completely unaware of Ayako and Bou-san coming up behind him with a pan and some rope. He snatched the tea out of her hands and brought it up to his lips. Tea was really-

Wham

"So." Bou-san muttered after he finished tying up Naru. "What's the consequences of drinking tea when you're in a support group?"

Mai shrugged. "Don't know. It can't be that bad though."

.xXx.

Naru awoke in the same room, the same stupid, painful, idiotic room. He hated this room. Hated it with every fiber in his being. He wouldn't mind if it blew up. He really wouldn't. Maybe he could set fire to this place- wait, that would make him a pyromaniac. Well, he could always blame it on Osaku yeah that would-

"That's it," He muttered, shaking the tempting thoughts of the building on fire out of his head. "I am leaving this blasted country and changing my name."

"To what?" Aoi popped out of nowhere, causing Naru to jump backwards in surprise. "I hear England's nice this time of year."

"Would you quit doing that?!" Naru looked at the wide-eyed boy and sighed. "Where am I again?"

Aoi sat down next to him. "You, Kazi-chan, are in the Tea Addict Support Group building. But to be specific, you're in the dreaded time-out corner."

Naru stared at Aoi with boredom. "The dreaded time-out corner. Well that's an original name."

"I know isn't it?!" Aya, Aoi's twin, popped up beside Naru too. Again, Naru was forced to jump back in surprise. "I've only been here once."

The door slammed open and Osaku Kenji smiled cunningly at the boy in the corner. Mitsuki was behind him, looking rather afraid and Tim and Martha were staring off into space. Naru was beginning to think they were possessed. Maybe he could get John to do an exorcism for him. Akihiko just smirked at Naru, watching him in amusement.

"It comes to my attention, Kazi-san, that you've violated your no-drinking policy." Osaku looked like he was going to have a lot of fun with this. "So, you've been sent to the time-out corner."

Naru nodded and tried not to laugh. How bad could sitting in a corner be?

.xXx.

"Oh for the love of-" Naru winced and tried scooting further back but he was already pressed up against the wall. He was now untied, thanks to Aoi.

"No talking!" Osaku ordered. He held out the fresh cup of tea and sat it in front of Naru. Naru reached for it slowly, he almost had it-

zap

"Why me?" Naru whimpered, his finger was burnt. Stupid electric thing. Aoi and Aya were looking at him with curiosity. Mitsuki and Akihiko were too busy talking about something to pay attention and Tim and Martha were- what were they doing?

"You have a problem!" Osaku yelled in his face.

"And you have bad breath." Naru retorted. "There's this great new invention called toothpaste, you should try it."

Osaku narrowed his eyes and stood up. The room had gotten eerily silent.

"I'm pretty sure this is illegal!"

zap

"Definitely illegal."

zap.

"Are you planning on stopping anytime soon?!"

"There, I'm done."

"Thank God!!" Naru cried. "Let me out of this stupid corner!!"

Osaku took a step back. "Actually, we're not quite finished yet."

Naru froze. Aoi and Aya shook their heads in dismay. The first time was always the worst. But then again, no one had ever gone through the trouble to drink tea again. And get caught that is.

.xXx.

Aya stuck a band aid on Naru's bleeding thumb. Osaku had accidently dropped a tea cup while helping Naru out of the corner and Naru, being super addicted to tea, tried to drink it. Ultimately, cutting his thumb in the process.

"Stupid tea." He muttered under his breath. Aoi and Akihiko were sitting at the table while Mitsuki was fixing a cup of tea. None of them actually followed the rules here, just sometimes they got caught. "You could've told me there was tea here in the beginning!"

Mitsuki shushed him. How he hated being shushed. "We couldn't tell you at first."

"We had to see if you could be trusted." Aoi whispered. "Tim and Martha don't know."

Naru stared at the group of people he'd come to call weirdos. "Oh and why not?"

Akihiko spoke for the first time in ages. "Have you seen them stare off into space? It's unnerving."

Naru had to agree. The way they stared off into space was freaky. That and the fact that Tim and Martha hadn't said anything since they got here. Even weirder was the fact that Tim never looked at anyone. Neither did Martha.

"We think they're loonies escaped from a crazy house." Aoi whispered. "Creepy."

"Okay..." Naru downed his tea in one gulp. "So, why do you put up with that jerk Osaku?"

Aya sat down beside her twin and shrugged. "Because he's huge!"

Aoi rolled his eyes. "Who'd want to mess with someone that huge and scary?!"

Naru's mind flitted over towards Lin for a second. "An even huger and scarier guy."
