�Mizu, call her off!� Salamander screamed.
�Sorry, she�s got a will of her own,� Mizu said as she popped a Fluffy Puff Marshmallow into her mouth.
�Mizu, I�m gonna kill you!� Salamander shouted.
Mizu gasped. �That was a threat!� she hollered. �OFF WITH HIS HEAD!! Oh, wait, that�s a little harsh. OFF WITH HIS EAR!!!!�
�With pleasure!� Akuma said as she brought her scythe down on Salamander.
�Ahhhhhh!!!!!� Salamander cried in fear.
Lucky for him, someone barged in, knocking Akuma away from Salamander. Her scythe went flying and hit the wall. Along with the wall, it had hit a paperclip. �NO!!!!!!!!� Akuma cried as she ran towards the paperclip. She held it gently as she stroked it. �You were too young!�
�Chouku!� Mizu exclaimed happily.
Kyoujin Chouku, the castle�s jester. Chouku was very, very, very tall and had long, long, long, long hair. She was dressed in, uh, unique jester clothes. �Dudes,� she said as she gave a peace sign.
�What brings you here?� asked Mizu.
�Well, last time I checked, I live here,� Chouku said.
�Oh yeah, I forgot,� Mizu said. �Uh, do I live here?�
�Duh,� Salamander said.
�So what�s going on here?� asked Chouku.
�Haven�t you heard?!!� cried Akuma. �Baka was in fatal accident!�
�NO!!!!� Miko cried as she rushed over to Akuma.
�Baka!� Mizu said tearfully.
The three of them were standing around the deceased paperclip, tears in their eyes. �So young,� Akuma cried.
�Gone,� Miko whispered.
�We must have a funeral,� Mizu declared.
�Uh, are you guys okay?� asked Chouku.
Salamander got up, dusted himself off, and shook his head. �You know, this is just too weird. I�m playing video games in my room for the next week or so. I have enough Coke and cookies to last me,� he said as he headed up the stairs.
�Oh the inhumanity!� Akuma cried out. �He was too young! Too young!�
She was on her knees, crying hysterically. �Don�t worry, Akuma,� Mizu said as she and Miko comforted the saddened Daughter of Death. Odd, you�d think she would be pleased to bring death? �He feels no more pain.�
�Okay,� Chouku said. �Where�s Kitsune? I have a little gift for her.�
�The Dungeon Ladies!� cried Vash.
�Whoa!� Chouku said as she jumped back. �What are those and why are they so little?�
Mizu looked up. �Oh, those are the bishonen,� she said.
�And they are little because?� asked Chouku.
�Mahou made a special potion that makes them small,� Mizu said.
�Why do you want them small?� asked Chouku, obviously confused.
�I don�t want them small. It makes them easier for Kitsune and Hi to store them,� Mizu said. �Hey, why�re you following me?�
�Well, Your Bakaness,� Kenshin said politely as he bowed, �we were hoping you could provide protection, that we were.�
�Huh?� Mizu said.
�Well, since you be the Bakaness, we figure no one can hurt us, that we do,� Kenshin said.
�Duh...uh...what?� said Mizu.
�Basically we can�t fend for ourselves, so we�re following you,� Tamahome said.
�Hey, I can fend for myself!� Sanosuke screamed. �I can chop trees down with one strike of my BARE HANDS!!!�
�Then why didn�t you do that when they were glomping you?� hissed Hiei.
Sano froze. He had no answer. �Okay,� Mizu said. �Um...I get it...yeah...�
�She obviously is the blondest person I have ever met,� Hiei said.
�Then you obviously have not met Miaka,� Tamahome said. �Oh, my Miaka...�
�No, I think Usagi is the blondest,� Nuriko said. �Have you seen the way she walks down the street?�
�You�re all wrong!� Miko said. �I am the blondest!�
�Let us prepare for the funeral,� Mizu said.
�Yes, we should...� Miko said as she sobered up.
Akuma gently picked up Baka, and they all walked slowly out the door, the herd of bishonen following. That left only Chouku. �O....K....� she said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
�...never running from a real fight! She is the one named��
�MAHOU, SHUT UP!!!� Kitsune screamed after about eight straight hours of anime songs.
�Okay...� Mahou said.
�WE NEED TO GET OUT!!!!� Kitsune screamed.
�This cat is looking at me real funny,� Hi said nervously.
�How to get out...� Kitsune wondered aloud.
There was a sudden rumbling under the ground. The Giant Earthworm was tunneling right under them, causing the earth to rise up and allowing Kitsune and Mahou to climb out. �AH! What is that!� screamed Hi.
�It�s the Giant Earthworm!� Mahou exclaimed happily as she broke loose of the duck tape and grabbed a net. �GET OVER HERE YOU SLIMY CREEP!�
She ran after the Giant Earthworm while Kitsune dusted herself off. �Ahh, freedom. It is now time to find out what is going one here!� she said.
She then ran off to find the Bakaness. �Uh, Kitsune? Kitsune?� Hi said.
�MEOWWWWWW!!!!� Hiei growled.
�Uh, nice kitty! Good kitty...� she said nervously.
�MEOWWWW!� Hiei screamed.
