Howdy ho! This chapter is a lot different from previous ones. Surprisingly, no fluff whatsoever. No angst or smut, either. This is my horrible attempt at comedy, and it's called Technology. Poor Yao asks Kiku how to use a laptop. Enjoy!

"Kiku, what the hell is this?"

A shiny new laptop sat atop Kiku's work desk; he was working on an email to Alfred when Yao walked in the room, tea cup in hand. The technology before him was perplexing.

"A computer."

"Why is it so tiny?"

Kiku rubbed his temple a bit. Surely Yao had seen one before; why did he need to ask that? "It's a laptop. They are meant for portability; in other words, carrying around with ease."

"Ohhh..." Yao said, staring at the so-called "laptop." He set his cup of tea on the desk and leaned in closer. "Can I try?"

Don't you have one? Kiku thought. Oh, well. No harm could be done. "Sure," he said, moving from the chair and letting Yao sit down.

"What do I do?"

It was unlike Kiku to lose his patience; however, he was sure that he was going to eventually, trying to teach Yao how to use a computer that was made before high-speed internet was invented.

"Type something into the address bar."

"Like what?"

"I don't know... Facebook."

Yao looked confused. "What's that?"

Kiku rubbed his temple again. "Right, banned... try Google."

"Huh?"

"Banned again," Kiku said with a sigh. "Youtube?"

"YouWHAT?"

"Dammit!" Kiku nearly shouted, close to bursting, despite his cool demeanor. "Just... search something."

"Okay," Yao pondered, wondering what to search. After what seemed like ten minutes to Kiku, he began typing. Good, Kiku thought, maybe this will be easier than I thought it would be.

"What's that, Kiku?" Yao asked, pointing to a flashy advertisement on the top of the screen. "It says: 'Click Here to Win a Free iPad 2.' What's an iPad 2? Should I click it?"

Kiku's face turned completely white. "N-no, Yao, don't-"

It was too late. Yao clicked on the ad (how in the hell did he figure out how to work the mouse on that thing), and at least a dozen pop-ups flashed across the monitor. More and more came up, until the screen went blue, and two large words flashed in white: VIRUS DETECTED.

"You... you gave my brand new computer a virus." Kiku's eyes were practically popping out of his head. "You were on it for two minutes, and you gave it a virus."

"Oh." Yao stared at the screen, tilting his head. "Kiku?"

"Yes, Yao?"

"What's a virus?"

Kiku turned around and began to bang his head against the wall. What was worse, Yao had bumped the table with his elbow and knocked his tea over, spilling it on the keyboard. The spill caused an electrical shortage, and small puffs of smoke escaped from the circuits.

With a few more loud bangs, there was a dent left in the wall.

Yao... just stop. Leave that to Kiku, please.

Also, true story. Facebook, Google, and Youtube are all banned in The People's Republic of China. I'm not sure how Kiku accessed his email... maybe he's just a good hacker?

Also also, I've finally broken 10,000 words! Go me!

Anyway... yeah, that's all I got. See ya later!
