Chapter 24 to be Princes
Authors note: the only reason I'm adding in Kanchomé in trying to burn Zatch's or Zeno's book is because… Well I will try to make this chapter funny, that and you will see that Zeno really doesn't have any mercy to those who try to burn his or his brother's book in a cowardly way.
It was noon and Zatch had the idea to get a yellow tail for Kiyo since he had a fever.
"Kiyo, I'm back" Zatch yelled, running up the stairs with his brother following his lead.
"You do know humans like their food cooked right Zatch" Zeno said right before Zatch busted through Kiyo's room.
"Kiyo" Zatch stopped to look at a Kiyo with an insanely large nose.
"What the" Zeno was cut off
"Hi Zatch, Zeno" The fake Kiyo said
Zatch looked at his surroundings then looked up "Kiyo" Zatch yelled. Zatch tried to lunge himself toward the real Kiyo that was nailed to the ceiling.
"Get over here" Zeno whispered grabbing Zatch foot causing Zatch to land on his face.
"Zeno why did" Zatch yelled but was cut off by his brother putting his hand on Zatch's mouth.
"First off we don't know where Dufort is at, second off, this can be fun" Zeno whispered into Zatch's ear.
The fake Kiyo just thought they were doing a twin thing, so he didn't think anything suspicious of the whole Zatch jumping then landing on his face.
"Keep him busy" Zeno whispered into Zatch's ear. "Kiyo I'm going to get you some water ok…" Zeno waved off the fake Kiyo then ran out the room.
Zatch looked up at the real Kiyo who was now crying because he knew Zeno had some horrible plan to make Kiyo stay nailed to the ceiling for as long as possible.
"Kiyo I got you… a fish" Zatch said trying to act out the good buddy routine
"Well in that case let's eat Zatch" the fake Kiyo said, grabbing the fish and started to eat the fish whole.
Zatch just stared at the yellow tail being devoured
Meanwhile with Zeno looking around down stairs
Zeno went to the living room to find Dufort watching TV on the couch.
"Dufort" Zeno spoke up
"Yea" Dufort responded
"Why did you let another mamodo team inside the house" Zeno said with a hint of anger
"They are after Kiyo's red book not ours" Dufort responded
"That still doesn't explain why they left you alone" Zeno yelled
"The idiots never noticed me, you also told me not to double team weaklings" Dufort explained then showed Zeno the silver book
"Ok you go into the guest room and hide and stay there" Zeno ordered, Dufort did what he was told and went into the guest room where he could hear the conversation between the fake Kiyo and Zatch.
"So Zatch how many spells do you know" the fake Kiyo asked
Zatch thought about it for a moment (should I tell him… Who is this Mamodo… I know him I'm sure of it). "I can use four spells so far" Zatch finally replied. "Shouldn't you know that too" Zatch said a little irritated
"I was just testing you" The fake Kiyo responded getting a little scared
Zeno finally came back into the room after he finished locking all the doors and windows.
"So Zatch where is your book, I seemed to have forgotten" the fake Kiyo asked
"You… Don't remember" Zeno yelled at the fake Kiyo which scared him
Zatch thought he would play along with his brother "Yea how could you forget Kiyo" Zatch said crossing his arms, these statements seemed to lighten the real Kiyo mood.
"Give me a break, I'm only human" the fake Kiyo tried to play off.
"There is only one way I will tell you the location of my brother's book" Zeno responded
"Really what" the fake Kiyo said with excitement.
"You have to do whatever we say for the entire day" Zeno demanded
"You promise" the fake Kiyo asked while thinking (If I burn Zatch's book it wouldn't matter if anybody called me weak I can brag to everyone that I was the one who burned prince Zatch's book)
Zeno put his hand behind his back and crossed his fingers "I promise" Zeno said with an evil grin
All of a sudden they heard banging "Kiyo, Kiyo let me in I brought something to make you feel better" Suzy yelled loud enough for them to hear.
"Ignore her" Zeno demanded which the fake Kiyo did what he was told
"First I want you to clean the entire house… You aren't allowed in the guest room though" Zeno ordered because he didn't want to do any of his chores.
The fake Kiyo picked up a broom and a mop and started to clean like mad. When the fake Kiyo was done cleaning the upstairs and went down stairs to clean, Zatch took that moment to get Kiyo off the ceiling.
"What the heck are you thinking Zeno" Kiyo said in a low voice for the fake Kiyo wouldn't hear.
"I was thinking it was about time that I and Zatch deserve a break, to be treated like princes" Zeno explained
"Didn't you get enough of that living in a castle" Kiyo asked while he heard vacuuming coming from the downstairs.
"You have no idea what I and Zatch went through" Zeno yelled. "See Zatch I told you to leave him up there" Zeno complained
"Zatch don't tell me you're going alone with this" Kiyo asked looking at Zatch with a serious look.
"… I still don't know who that Mamodo is so until then I will go along with Zeno's plan" Zatch explained
"Fine, until then… Kiyo stay inside the guest room and don't come out no matter what" Zeno ordered.
"Why should I" Kiyo hissed
"You can get a day off with us not bothering you" Zeno explained the best outcome.
Kiyo thought about it, and he thought about what horrible things Zeno will make this imposter do. "You got a deal" Kiyo said shaking Zeno hand then Kiyo grabbed as many books he could carry to pass the time including the red book.
"Kiyo" Both twins yelled from atop Kiyo's room.
They heard stomping and running and soon they saw the fake Kiyo covered in dust.
"We're hungry" Zeno said holding his stomach
"What?" the fake Kiyo said knowing where this was going.
"Go to the best restaurant you can find and get us a meal for four… No six" Zeno ordered
"I don't have any money" the fake Kiyo responded
"Then find someone who does and get us A LOT OF FOOD" Zeno shouted making the fake Kiyo run out the door in order to satisfy the twins hunger.
The fake Kiyo thought (its only one day, I have to survive one day and I get to burn Zatch's book) the fake Kiyo started laughing with excitement while running down the street trying to find Folgore.
20 minutes later the fake Kiyo found Folgore being surrounded by a huge fan girl club.
"Folgore" The fake Kiyo shouted then transformed back to normal to a small boy wearing pajamas and had a bill for a mouth.
"Kanchomé did you get that Zatch's book" Folgore yelled trying to get out of the crowd
"I need to buy them dinner first" Kanchomé said now beside Folgore
"What… why" Folgore trying to figure out what was going on
"Zeno told me if I do everything they asked of me they will tell me where Zatch's book is" Kanchomé explained
"That great your cover hasn't been blown yet" Folgore said with excitement, then threw Kanchomé 300 dollars. "Poruk" Folgore said pulling out his book, transforming Kanchomé into the fake Kiyo once again
Kanchomé then went into a fancy restaurant and ordered everything he knew Mamodo children liked, yellow tails with seasonings, Ado choc vagrant( I tried spelling it the best I could), 11oz steaks seasoned and spiced, lobster and crab with melted butter, Salmon, and Catfish. Side dishes were chicken wings and mash potatoes with white rice. The tab ended up being close to 270 plus the tip.
"Can you please box all of this up" Kanchomé said avoiding eye contact with the feast before him. Kanchomé ended up carrying all of the food with him and ended up back at Kiyo's house an hour later.
"You're late" Zeno hollered scaring Kanchomé into nearly dropping all of the expensive food.
"H… Here you go" Kanchomé said being like a waiter and lay out all of the food on the table.
Both Zeno and Zatch couldn't help but drool and neither could Kanchomé, Zeno noticed this.
"Now go get us desert" Zeno ordered
Kanchomé looked at how much money he had left which was only 10 dollars, which he showed to Zeno and Zatch.
"Well go on, get" Zeno waved Kanchomé to the door
When Kanchomé left the house Zeno locked the door and told Dufort and Kiyo to come down and eat.
"Holy" Kiyo said amazed
"I know right" Zatch said excited
"You two better hurry up and get some before he comes back" Zeno ordered
With that Kiyo and Dufort grabbed the crab and lobster with about 20 chicken wings with sauce and the White rice and they walked up stairs to enjoy the meal that Zeno was able to provide.
"Zeno… This was a… great idea" Zatch said while chowing down a yellow tail.
Zeno wasn't listening to what Zatch was saying since he was digging into one of the 11oz steaks.
While Dufort was cracking open a lobster leg "Pass the butter"
Kiyo looked at Dufort and remembered what terrible things Dufort had said to Shin "Here" Kiyo said giving Dufort butter, the meal defiantly eased the mood between the two.
10 minutes later Kanchomé arrived back to Kiyo's house holding a bunch of candy; Kanchomé had to be let in by Zatch.
Zatch and Zeno were only half done eating; even though Mamodo's eat fast the meal was too large for them to finish in one gulp.
"Kiyo get our baths ready" Zeno ordered
Kanchomé had sweat pouring down from his face for running around like mad doing whatever Zeno ordered.
"Right away" Kanchomé answered running to the bath room to get it ready.
"Zeno I can't eat another anymore" Zatch said looking at another piece of yellow tail but not making a move toward it.
"Me neither, save it for tomorrow" Zeno said then hopped off the chair and went toward the bathroom with his brother following.
"Your baths are ready" Kanchomé said happy that the day was almost over.
"While we are taking our baths clean up after us in the Kitchen and store our leftovers" Zeno said going into the bath room.
"Ok" Kanchomé walked out to clean the kitchen once again
While both Zatch and Zeno were in the tub resting
"I can't put my finger on it but I'm sure I know him" Zatch said still thinking of his past friends
"He's a pushover, think about all the pushover's you know" Zeno responded
Zatch thought about all of the people that he helped in the Mamodo world, and who could transform. "It couldn't be…" Zatch said now knowing who it was
"What is it" Zeno replied
"I used to help him whenever he was picked on" Zatch said explaining how he knew him. "The fake Kiyo might be Kanchomé" Zatch said
"Well are we still going to be using him" Zeno said with a slight upset face since the day wasn't over yet.
"No, he's one of my friends" Zatch said getting out of the tub
Meanwhile upstairs in the guest room
"We can leave now" Dufort told Kiyo
"Are they done using my imposter" Kiyo asked
"Yes" Dufort responded, with that Kiyo walked out of the guest room and walked down stairs to see Zatch talking to the fake Kiyo; Zatch had his cloths on
"You can give up the act now Kanchomé" Zatch said looking up at the fake Kiyo with the large nose
"What are you talking about…? I'm Kiyo" Kanchomé said still trying to act out
Zeno then punched the fake Kiyo in the head causing the fake Kiyo to transform into Kanchomé.
"You didn't have to hit me" Kanchomé cried on the ground. Kanchomé started laughing "It doesn't matter I survived the whole day doing what you told me to do, you have to give me Zatch's book" Kanchomé yelled with triumph.
"Here" Kiyo responded by throwing Kanchomé a dictionary.
"What is this" Kanchomé asked getting teary eyed
"It's Zatch's book I gave him for a present" Kiyo explained. "Go ahead and burn it" Kiyo said a grin on his face.
"This isn't fair, this isn't fair, noooo" Kanchomé cried then started to chow down on candy
"It's ok Kanchomé" Zatch said patting Kanchomé's back trying to cheer him up. "How about this whenever you're in trouble we will help you out..." Zatch offered
"But only once" Zeno grumbled
"Really" Kanchomé said cheering up a bit. "Then give me your mamodo book so people won't be able to call me weak" Kanchomé ordered
Kiyo then picked Kanchomé up "No" Kiyo responded and was about to throw Kanchomé out of the door when Folgore charged through the front door.
"It's Parco Folgore" Folgore introduced himself
Authors note: I bet you readers wish you were Zatch and Zeno for this chapter, I know I was.
