�We weren�t eating it,� Miko K said. �We were just poking at it.�
�And why were you poking at it?� asked Mahou.
�Well, it did seem a little odd that there was burning human flesh in the middle of hallway,� Miko K said. �Though I can�t understand why I found it odd...�
�Why was it burning?� asked Kharl.
�It attracts the chimera,� Mahou said. �And the smell travels farther.�
�And where exactly did you find human flesh?� asked Miko K.
�Oh, the Bakaness keeps it downstairs,� Mahou said.
�I�m just gonna avoid going downstairs,� Miko K said. �Can you get me outta here? I need to gather our party to go to Glordor.�
�Glordor! That�s where Hiei was born!� Mahou said.
�The bishie?� Miko K said in a confused tone.
�No, the fire-breathing cat, Hiei,� Mahou said. �Speaking of him, I think he�s stalking Hi. I think he may have a crush on her. I better make sure he hasn�t tried to roast her flesh.�
Mahou then flew off, leaving Miko K in the hole. �I think the Royal Court may have ADD,� Miko K said.
�I agree,� Kharl said.

Salamander was walking into the kitchen to cook something up. He�s a great chef. �Hmm, chocolate chip cookies!� he said. He really liked making cookies.
He gathered bowls, measuring cups, spoons, and a bunch of ingredients. When he closed the fridge door, he was taken aback by the paperclip sitting on the counter.
�What the heck!� he exclaimed.
The paperclip stared.
�Bologna? No way, we don�t have that here. Mizu would send Akuma after me if I had any. I�ve had my fair share of close encounters with her,� Salamander said.
Gaki continued to stare at Salamander.
�No, I will not make it from scratch!� Salamander exclaimed.
The door closed and locked. Then there was a lot of screaming and crashing. Chouku passed the door but decided she didn�t care what was happening. She continued walking, and soon came to the hallway where Miko K was trapped. She nearly fell into the hole, but since she was tall, she was able to grab hold of the other side.
�Miko K?� Chouku said.
�Chouku?� Miko K responded.
�Why are you sitting in a hole?� asked Chouku.
�Why are you hanging over a hole?� asked Miko K.
�Touch�,� Chouku said.
�Mind getting me out?� asked Miko K as Chouku scrambled up to the floor.
�Hmmm, no,� Chouku said.
�What?�
�No, I don�t feel like it,� Chouku said as she walked off, laughing.
�Did she just walk off?� asked Miko K.
�Yes, yes, she did,� Kharl said.
�Kurses...� Miko K muttered.

�Hey! This bologna has no prize at the bottom!� Akuma explained.
Mizu popped up, holding Miko up by her kimono, Miko�s mouth stuffed with fluffy bunnies. �YOU OPENED IT?!!!!� Mizu exclaimed.
�What a rip-off!� Akuma said as she threw the bologna, which had a suspicious green tinge, into the fluffy bunnies.
�NO!!! I�M GONNA DIE!!!!!� Mizu screamed.
�Rye rond oo ake alamander ean i?� suggested Miko.
�Hmm, good idea. Come on, we�re finding Salamander,� Mizu said as she dragged Miko and Akuma into the hallway.
�Dare we follow?� asked Rath.
�We�d best lest we be caught by the Ladies,� Kurama said.
�Ladies?� Vash said sarcastically.
They searched the place high and low, even the meat freezer, which is where all the meat, yes human meat, too, is kept. No Salamander. �I�m hungry. Not getting a prize at the bottom of the bologna made me mad,� Akuma said. �Let�s go eat!�
Akuma headed into the kitchen, but Mizu wanted to keep looking for Salamander. �There�s no time to eat, Akuma! We hafta make Salamander clean the bologna up before it infects the whole castle!� she argued.
Akuma was ignoring her. She was looking around the kitchen, searching for cheese. �Ooh, pointy knife,� Miko said as she looked at knives with a devilish gleam in her eyes.
�Miko! Don�t cut yourself again!� Mizu said as she rushed over to the dangerous priestess.
Akuma, in the meanwhile, was opening up the fridge. As she did so, Salamander fell out, tied up and gagged. �I win!� Akuma exclaimed in glee.
�Salamander?� Mizu said as she tried to wrestle the knife away from Miko.
Salamander tried to speak, but the gag was mooshing his words up.
�Salamander, I don�t wanna hear your excuses. You get in there and clean up that bologna!� the Bakaness said as she picked her brother up and threw him out the door. �Lazy boy!�
As she walked back into the kitchen, something came falling down at her. She just happened to trip and stumble forward, causing whatever was falling to miss her. It turned out to be a giant axe.
�Too cool!� Akuma said.
�My turn, my turn!� Miko exclaimed as she ran over to the axe and attempted to lift it up.
�Gaki!� Akuma said as she saw the paperclip up on top of the door. �You shouldn�t be up there! You�ll fall and get hurt!�
Akuma stepped onto Miko�s back who, at that time, was really struggling with the axe. Akuma jumped onto the door and retrieved Gaki. �Hey, that axe almost hit me,� Mizu said.
�These things happen,� Akuma said as she dangled her legs off the door.
�Hmmm...� Mizu said.
�Hey, let�s go burn some paper,� Akuma suggested.
�Yeah!� Miko agreed.
�Hmm...okay...� Mizu said.
