A Little Brown Thing

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Today is another normal day at the Yagami residence. Hayate and her knights are all enjoying their week off from work and Shamal was busy preparing a meal while Hayate was getting the bath ready for them. Shamal was just just going to cut some vegetables and went to get the knife when she saw something move out of the corner off her eye. She turned to get a better look and realised what it was.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" swinging the knife and running around.

Signum, Vita and Hayate rushed out to see what Shamal was screaming about.

"Shamal, calm down and tell us what's wrong." Signum demanded.

"I-I s-saw a gokiburi..." stuttering slightly after getting a huge shock.

"Just that?" the redhead asked.

"Uh-huh..." looking around worriedly.

"You can just crush it easily Shamal. No worries!" the brunette added.

"But isn't that cruel and disgusting?" the blonde asked.

"No, not when it is gross itself." replied the brunette.

"Hayate is right. No need to worry about this minor thing Shamal. The next time you see it you tell us and we'll just crush it for ya." the redhead added proudly.

"Ok then..." moving to continue chopping the vegetables but only after washing the knife, thoroughly.

It was the following day and it was eight in the morning. At this time Vita will always be watching her cartoons before going to work but today she gets to watch as long as she wants because it's still during her one week break. She was lying flat on the carpet, her chin resting on her hands, elbows bracing her up, smile on her face. She was clearly enjoying the day. She was enjoying her show until a commercial came on. She grunted and then looked about a little bit until she saw something moving under the couch. She moved closer to get a better look and you can probably guess her next reaction.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" swinging Eisan and running around.

"GROOSSSSS!! GET AWAY YOU DISGUSTING CRETIN!!" she shouted.

Again the rest ran out to see what was going on and saw the little red knight running around in circles, swinging Eisan about her head.

"Vita, what's wrong?" the brunette asked.

"G-Go-Gokiburi un-under th-the cou-couch..." she replied, looking around furiously but worried.

Signum crouched down and looked but found nothing.

"It's not there." the pink knight said, getting up from her crouch.

"What! It was there! You gotta believe me!" she protested.

"Oh, we believe you. It's just that we never expected you to be so scared of it." the brunette replied.

"I wasn't scared! I just got shocked, that's all!"

Signum chuckled at her exclamation.

"If you were shocked you wouldn't have srceamed. If you can't bear to catch and kill it or much less go near it then its best you let me handle it." patting the mini knight's head.

Vita got angry, mostly because that thing scared the wits out of her and also because Signum was playing the hero again instead of she. The day continued about normally without any sign of that thing at all during the day. Vita's hopes of crushing it there and then were dashed.

It was the middle of the night. Everyone was sleeping nicely, including Signum. She had just finished reading the book she borrowed from the infinite library and had just turned of the lights to get some well earned rest. She was about to close her eyes when she felt something moving about under the covers. She instinctively used her hand to grab whatever it was and she just threw it off the bed. She hadn't realised what she did until it hit her that she'd thrown something. She got up, looked around and saw something moving on top of the covers. She hastily switched on the bedside lamp to get a better look.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" jumping out of bed, bringing out Laevatine and chasing after it.

They all heard her scream and ran to her room to find the said person chasing a little brown thing with Laevatein. Vita quickly brought out Graf Eisan while Hayate brought out Schrewtruez and they both joined Signum in chasing it. The chase continued into the living room and the kitchen, all three swinging their devices about trying to swat the dreaded creature. Zafira was sleeping on the floor. He wondered what the commotion was about and opened one eye to survey. He saw it heading in his direction followed closely by the trio that was chasing it while Shamal was standing on the chair out of fear. He raised his paw slightly and waited for it to come. As soon as it was in range, he let his paw drop on it, crushing it with the weight of his paw. The three stop on their tracks and just stared at him, Vita glaring at him.

"You could've save a little bit of him for me to crush!" she grumbled.

Hayate went to get a broom and dust pan, and swept away the remains, throwing them into the bin.

"I'm curious Signum. You weren't afraid of it yet you screamed louder than Vita and Shamal did when they encountered the gokiburi." Hayate asked, one finger tapping the side of her head.

Signum shivered slightly at the memory.

"Yea, how come you screamed louder?" added the mini knight.

"Try having it crawl all over you in bed and then come tell me if you don't get disgusted and scream your head off about it." putting Laevatein away and heading toward the bathroom.

"Forget I asked. Where are you going?" both hands rubbing her arms in a gesture to show that she was disgusted.

"To take a shower. I'm not going to bed after I've just been molested by an insect without at least taking a shower." closing the door behind her.

"She has a point. Oyasumi minna san." Hayate ended and went to sleep.

Shamal followed not long after with Vita. Signum came out of the bathroom eventually and went to sleep. After that night, Vita prayed everyday that nothing like what happened to Signum would ever happen to her though Hayate claimed that Vita was just being paranoid.

EXTRA OMAKE

Zafira was sleeping on the floor. He wondered what the commotion was about and opened one eye to survey. He saw it heading in his direction followed closely by the trio that was chasing it while Shamal was standing on the chair out of fear. As soon as it was in range, Zafira opened his mouth and closed it shut once it had entered it. Everyone stared at him. Shamal fainted on the spot. Signum ran to the bathroom to let her dinner. Vita fell to the floor, her stomach hurting very badly while Hayate just let her tongue hand out of her mouth to show disgust.

"You know, you didn't have to do that..." the brunette said at last.

"It doesn't taste that bad." he replied, closing his eyes and going back to sleep.

After hearing that, Hayate went into the bathroom to join Signum and let her dinner out as well.
