Short A/N's, I swear it!

First off, I have yet to say this out loud, shame on me! But LadyRivka has done some gorgeous fan art for Shin Wars, and I have it up on my web site for you all to look at! Rivka-san, I apologize for not mentioning that sooner. Further more, guys, please don't leave private messages in my guest book, or I'll have to get another one. I don't have the info to get into my guest book. Private entries are inaccessible, so if you need to tell me something private, tell me through e-mail, please. I could get a new one, but I would hate to start over when I have so few entries. ;_; But thank-you all for the ones I do have! ^^

Funny, Datura ended up a lot like Lina in this one. Hehe. And I did take Kioku's smoked salmon bribe, so this chapter *is* longer. Believe me! I do take bribes, you all!

(Okay, so the A/N's got long. Sor-ry!)

I told you all I would introduce you with the muse that had been helping me out over here. ::pulls out a tiny little Chibi Shin muse::

Chibi Shin muse:: Hi! ^^;

Neko-chan:: Just think of a Masami Okui Live song. Very hyper, full of energy, and never stops. -_-; Even I get annoyed with him.

Chibi Shin muse grabs a microphone and grins at the readers:: Hi one and all! Thanks for coming!

Neko-chan:: He's cute, huh? -_-; ::sigh:: He never shuts up! He's never sad! He's always happy! Well...okay, that's not always true.

Chibi Shin muse:: I don't have a Kibito. ;_; 

Neko-chan:: Pathetic little...yeah, he seems dependent. ::groan::

Chibi Shin muse:: Does anyone have a Kibito muse?

Neko-chan:: That's enough out of you!

Okay, big warning. I used to be a telemarketer (but I am never going back!!) so I *know* where to insult them. You guys do not. You *think* you do. I've been on both sides of the matter, and I do not get calls during dinner, thank-you. We get them constantly. It has nothing to do with dinner. That's an old stupid joke, and out dated to boot. Not to mention, telemarketers are not dialing your number. They don't pick you out on purpose. There are tons of misconceptions of telemarketers, and when I hear these in joke form, I don't laugh, because they are not funny. I know how things are run, I know what telemarketers are like in real life (away from the phone) and I know more about the process. In other words, I know where the real jokes and gags lay within telemarketing. ^.~ Now, I am going to have a bit of a gag (in fact, it's an old one of mine. ^^; hehe) but I'm not doing this to insult telemarketers. Remember, I used to be one. This is all in good fun, okay?! Okay! (Remember, say "Okay!" with force! One more time! Okay!) 

One other thing, for some reason I threw in three odd characters I used to use for tea gags. Filia from Slayers, Cid from Final Fantasy, and Arthur Dent from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I don't own them, but Bob and Misty are mine, even though I don't want them. ^^; So is the crate of penguins.

Now...plushies...

KaioShin:: Well, since Neko-chan is feeling ill of late, I am being forc...I mean, I will be distributing plushies for her.

Beside him Kibito is holding a box of plushies, and looking rather angry.

KaioShin:: Okay, first on the list...Lady Euphrosyne Pan of the Golden Trees (I think there should be a restriction on how long a name can be around here,) ^^; you get a Sleepy Time Shin plushie with little fluffy slippers. ::KaioShin blushes:: Were does Neko-chan get these ridiculous ideas from? Go on, take it!

KaioShin:: Next for LadyRivka, we a have Nighttime Kibito plushie holding his own chibi Shin plushie! LOL ::Shin starts laughing while pointing at Kibito:: You seem to be the center of a joke around here. ::Kibito hands a piece of paper to Shin, and he reads it out loud:: Shin, this is from Neko-chan, quite laughing and pass out the rest of the plushies before I decide to give you a Kibito plushie so everyone can see *your* reaction. ::hands LadyRivka her plushie, while blushing again:: This is demeaning. 

KaioShin:: For Kimi the Kenlei (Kym,) Neko-chan has left a Sleepy Time Shin. Where does Neko-chan come up with these names for the plushies? Also, in this chapter another one of Kimi's ideas was used. It's the angst gag with Neko-chan.

KaioShin:: For Datura, a soda can sounds like a good idea. ^^; Thanks! This time you get a Special Edition A Midsummer Night's Dream Fay Shin plushie.

KaioShin:: Silver...Neko-chan said she would take over for this one....

Neko-chan:: Thanks for reviewing, you goose!! Here's a Lina plushie! ^.~

KaioShin:: Let us move on now. Krysaia Li...Neko-chan once again will address you personally. Why did she call me up here for this if she planned to talk to almost all of them?!

Neko-chan:: I am so sorry I never got back on AIM. I have tons of things going on right now. ;_; I'm really sorry. I'll be on tomorrow night, I hope. (If not I'll e-mail you. I might be baby-sitting. Or I'm praying to be.) You get a Chibi KaioShin muse. ^^ I have about four of them hanging around. Be careful, they can be very sarcastic. ^^;

Chibi KaioShin muse:: Hi! Take me home and I'll help you write stories with lots of gags and humor! I promise. Is it okay if we do some fluffy romance scenes?

KaioShin:: Okay...you would give away the chibi versions of me that are running around here?

Neko-chan:: I don't need four of these little guys!

KaioShin:: -_-; Oh, Next is Lyonette. Since you weren't here, you get a Special Edition Midsummer Night's Dream Fay Shin plushie. 

KaioShin:: And then we have...a thank-you for Satan for showing up, and a crate of carrots. Neko-chan seems content to keep the plot bunnies alive and well fed. -_-;

KaioShin:: Uh, Tenshi, you get a special edition Dark Dabura plushie. He has a black cape and some gold necklaces. O.o Just take him away from me! 

KaioShin:: Kioku, as you can see, Neko-chan has accepted your bribe, but she has yet to bribe us to go on for another chapter. -_-; I do believe after this we will be working for free. XP You get a Sleepy Time Shin plushie, and I'm begging you to bribe Neko-chan to come up with new plushie ideas! Or give her some. These names are bizarre! 

KaioShin:: Muzura, you get a Gohan plushie, as he is your favorite, and you joined in the mess.

KaioShin:: JH, of course I display spunk when needed. ^^; Apparently you get a Chibi Shin plushie. And now we can move on to the actual story.

Shin Wars

Chapter #7 Love Bites

(Welcome to (Non) Romantic Angst!)

Happy noises filtered through the Romance section, and we won't discuss the ones coming from the NC-17 Romance section, (XP) while the many plot bunnies lapped away at the tea, but like all good things, the tea was soon finished and the bunnies turned to Satan for more. With a sigh, he turned to the girl on the phone, loathed to break the beautiful silence he had been enjoying. Well, it was silent, aside from the obnoxious chattering of the supposed to be waitress, but that was easily drowned out, sometimes. Finally cutting through the peace Satan asked, "Could have another...." but forgot what the particular tea had been. He picked up the cup and sniffed it, still unsure, so he grabbed one of his near by melon colored rabbits and pet it for a little while. "Oh, could I have another lemon grass tea?"

The girl on the phone glared at Satan and responded, "Can't you see I'm busy over here?! Now, Jeff, you were saying?"

Surprised, Vampire raised an eye brow at the girl. After all, she had dared to insult Satan. Vampire knew of someone who would be getting a plot bunny or two, very soon.

Satan stood up, eyes glowing a dangerous red, and Datura knew heinous acts of destruction were soon to follow, so once more she jumped over the counter, "I'll get it for you. Don't worry." 

Datura worked around the irate girl, thought of complaining to her manager if the odd behavior kept on, and made Satan's plot bunnies a couple more cups of lemon grass tea. She handed them to Satan with a smile, and Satan put the cups on the floor, and then laid down on his stomach to watch the many plot bunnies drink it up.

Happy to see the rabbits cheerful, Datura grinned and jumped back over the counter, and Dabura took some time to help her. "Thanks, but I can do it myself," she told him gently, rejecting his outstretched hand.

"Fine. Be that way," Dabura shrugged off the refused hand and kept drinking his tea, and once more everyone fell back into the comfortable silence.

"You stupid jerk!" cut through the quiet like a razor, catching everyone's attention and drawing it to the girl on the phone, Misty. "FINE! I don't love you anymore either!" and with that she slammed down the phone, quickly pulled the cord out in the back, and stormed out of the tea house as a girl meekly entered wearing a blue skirt trimmed with silver, and a silver trimmed blue shirt with silver sandals. She watched Misty run out of the tea house, a look of regret on her face, her blue eyes tearing.

"Oh...I'm so sorry!" She stared after Misty, her face crumpling, "Why does this happen? Oh well, at least I haven't lost my touch." She smiled and walked over to the bar.

Satan, Vampire, Dabura and Datura watched her, curious, so Vampire asked the question they were unsure of voicing, "Umm, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, hi," the girl smiled at them, "My name is Lady Euphrosyne Pan of the Golden Tress. Lady Eu for short. And I'm known as the queen of angst. I write a lot of angst stories, and for some strange reason, every time I go somewhere, depressing things happen. Like that girl...how sad."

A smile crept over Satan's face, "So I left the home of the king of horror and found the queen of angst. That works for me."

"Yeah," Vampire grinned, "no more annoying romance."

Datura shook her head at her companions and then turned to Lady Eu, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Sure...how about an apple tea."

"Okay," Datura conformed, jumping back over the counter. She started up the water and took out the packet. While she was getting everything ready the phone rang. Datura looked around for anyone else in the place, but found no other workers, so she answered it. "Hello?"

"Hello, is Datura available?"

Datura raised an eye brow, questioning the chances of someone finding her, and looked around at the others. They all watched her, wondering why she was staring at them.

"This is her..." Datura said with uncertainty. 

"Ms Datura, this is Bob with Free Port Holes For Everyone, and I'm calling to let you know you have won a free port hole off a ship. Okay! Now, all I need..."

"Excuse me! I don't *want* a port hole, I don't need one, and what can I do with one anyway?"

"Now, Ms Datura! These port holes have many great uses, okay! I just need your address, user name and password!"

"I said, I don't want it! Why can't you get that through your thick head?! Huh...password....Look, I don't have time for this. Goodbye!" and with that as *her* closing argument she hung up the phone, exclaiming, "Persistent little buggers!" (Sorry for the British cussing and swearing...but...with all of the tea, what did you expect from me?)

Curious, Dabura asked, "What was that about?"

"Some guy named Bob, he was 'offering,'" she placed quotes around "offering" with her own hands, "me a free port hole."

"How odd," Satan mused.

Just then the phone rang again, and Datura glared at it, "Don't tell me...." 

She picked it up to hear Bob's over-jovial voice once more, "Listen, Ms Datura, I suggest you get this port hole for your own health. It will improve a great many things, okay! Now, I just need your address, user name, and password!"

"I told you, I don't need it, I don't want it, and you keep skirting my questions anyway!" Datura slammed down the phone and fumed slightly, "That is obnoxious!"

Once again the phone rang, but Dabura gestured for her to ignore it as he hopped over the counter and answered instead, "Hello? Oh...well, she's not here right now. Call back later, a******!" Dabura gave a fanged grin as he placed the receiver back in the cradle, "There, it's solved."

But just to irk the demon king, the phone rang once more, and Lady Eu looked at the phone, and noticed, "Hey! The cord's been pulled on that phone! It shouldn't be ringing!"

Vampire's eyes popped out as she looked at it, "You're right! Maybe it's a virus in the fanfiction.net code."

"Hmm," Satan mused, staring at the phone, "Bob, huh? Oh, I know who it is." Satan smiled, explaining, "It's the telemarketer from hell. He's the most persistent thing I've ever met. Just ignore him."

Dabura and Datura exchanged pondering looks, "Bob, the telemarketer from hell?"

"Yeah, he's harmless for the most part. Although, he has been known to kill some of the people who didn't take his products. That poor girl...wouldn't take the crate of penguins...." Satan shook his head remembering the past events that followed Bob. "And even if you do take his product, you'll still lose your account. But don't worry, he's nothing to fret over."

"Penguins...?" Datura asked, a sweat drop on the side of her face.

"Nothing to fret over?" yelled Lady Eu. "I like angst, but that doesn't mean I want to die or something!"

Dabura looked at the ringing phone and then shot a ki blast at it, glad to see it fly to pieces, "There, it's taken care of now."

Still shaky, Datura held onto the counter, thinking over the incident. Dabura jumped over and then everyone fell back into the comfortable silence they had started to enjoy, but three people entered the tea house and ruined the effect.

"I don't know, Cid. Last I heard we were just fictional characters and shouldn't be here anyway," were the words coming from a blonde wearing a pink dress. She smiled nicely at everyone while the man behind her, dressed as a pilot, just sneered, almost annoyed.

Behind them was a meek looking fellow, and the three seated themselves at a table and the one dressed as a pilot, Cid, turned to Datura and grinned, "Hey, waitress, I need three teas over here. One cranberry, one plain with milk and sugar, and one mint tea."

"I am not a waitress, thank-you. And you couldn't even say please...?" Datura groaned at Cid, anger bubbling up.

"I said, get me some @#$%*@% tea, now!"

"Excuse me!" Datura's eyes flared up in a dangerous manner.

"Cid, I think you had better sit down," the blonde tried to calm him.

"No way, Filia, I want some @%#$&#$ tea, NOW! And I asked nicely the first time."

"No you didn't," the meek man said quietly.

"Stay out of it Arthur! Now, you %#$^@, get me some tea, now!" Cid pointed at Datura, demanding tea from her again.

Datura jumped over the counter as everyone else packed up their stuff, Vampire grabbed her bunny, and Lady Eu picked one up by accident only to get a plot idea, while Dabura and Satan headed for the door, Dabura shaking his head, "Poor guy, he didn't know better."

"I think it's time we join the others at the sushi bar," Vampire suggested as everyone left.

They headed for the sushi bar as a large blast rocked the the side of the tea house, and pieces of burnt wood went flying.

Inside Datura grinned at the fried man before her, and as she passed him to leave she told him, "Get your own %^$@#$% tea, and have a nice day."

Cid blinked his eyes, and then sat back down at the table, "So now how are we gonna get our tea?"

Arthur snickered, "I think, since you caused this, you should get our tea."

"You know, Arthur, that's a good idea," Filia said while smiling at Cid.

Back outside Datura joined the group and they headed for the sushi bar together, everyone else remaining quiet, except for Lady Eu who was more than eager to share her plot, "You know, I just got this awesome idea for a new story where KaioShin...."

Satan nodded his head and cut her off, "I know. Just don't pick up another."

He looked down at the lavender fluff ball in her arms, "Take good care of that one."

Lady Eu grinned up at him, "Thanks."

"I didn't give her to you, you took her!"

"Well, thanks anyway!"

*********************

Out in a quiet section of the Romance section, Neko-chan opened the door to LindaN's cottage and looked around. 'I guess I could check her updates,' the cat-girl thought to herself when she noticed the place was quiet, empty, and dusty.

Curious, Neko-chan turned on the computer in the room and checked LindaN's recent updates, the last date being back in November. The cat-girl felt her heart sink at this knowledge just as Shin, Kibito, LadyRivka, and Kym entered the cottage. KaioShin took one look and at the cat-girl and almost groaned, "She's not here, is she?'

"She hasn't been here since November, and I'm scared she's not gonna come back!" Neko-chan told him, very close to tears, her large golden eyes welling up.

Kym looked at her and said, "Now, I won't have any crying here. This is the Romance section, but you can cry in the Angst section!"

Bewlidered, Neko-chan stared at Kym and shook her head, "I guess. If anyone needs me I'll be at the sushi bar."

KaioShin nodded his head and sighed, sinking down onto the bed, "I think I will take a little time to sleep. I am afraid I need a moment to rest."

Understanding, Kibito gestured for Kym and LadyRivka to leave as he looked at KaioShin, concerned, "Take a rest. We will either wake you if something comes up, or we will wait for you."

"Thank-you, Kibito," Shin quietly said as he curled up on the bed, thoughts wondering if he ever would be able to return home.

******************

Back at the sushi bar, Gohan was finishing his rice, with Muzura still attached to his waist, and Kioku was singing quietly, waiting for the others to return from their search of LindaN's cottage. 

Datura, Dabura, Satan, Vampire, and Lady Eu (can't forget the plot bunnies) entered in, finally, and right behind them was a blonde haired, blue eyed boy.

Dabura tried to keep from looking around, scared of looking at any of the fish, and Kioku was soon gathering everyone around to show them some of the stories, while Gohan tried once more to pull Muzura off his waist, but it still didn't work.

The blonde boy took over the computer for a minute and then left a remark, muttering to himself, "What's with these people. So much fighting. The story was good though!" He smiled at everyone, signed his review 'Anime Dude,' and then turned to leave. 

He stood at the door for a little while and then turned back, "Umm, this place is a little scary, so do any of you know where the exit is?"

Lyonette smiled at him, holding a bowl of rice, "No, we don't, but we're looking for it too. Chances are we'll find it. Why don't you join us? The more the merrier." She held out a hand for him, "Name's Lyonette. Want some rice?"

"Anime Dude, and rice sounds good."

This is the scene a depressed, and holding back her tears, Neko-chan found upon entering the sushi bar, just as Kioku was announcing, "Datura, look! They flamed you again! Why are they blaming you for being Vampire?"

"I have no idea!" Datura informed while trying not to pull out her hair.

"Again...they flamed her again...." the little cat-girl muttered, her own eyes seeing red. "This is bad timing. Give me that computer!" Neko-chan leaped at the computer and took over, leaving her own message for the flamers.

*****************

"Fushigina Joshi," a voice shouted from the girl's walkie talkie.

"Yes," she answered it, while running to catch up with Tenshi and The Critic.

"Datura has someone defending her now, some girl named Neko-chan."

"Urghh!! That's the one who found KaioShin! We have to do something about these people before they ruin everything!"

"I'll take care of it. You work on catching up with them."

"Okay!"

****************

In an office like area, closed off in the blue haze, two men sat working together when The Leader of the Flamer's Mob busted in and disturbed their peaceful work. "I have a problem here. There are two trouble makers running around, and you should know what they've said...."

"Yeah, yeah," administration personal number one said, waving the girl off.

Administration personal number two looked at the girl and said, "Aren't you the same girl who came in earlier today? Fushigi...a...Joshua...or something like that."

"No, that was not me! That was Fushigina Joshi! I am The Leader of the Flamers Mob!"

"Funny, you look the same."

"Look, I have some stuff here...."

Administration personal number one looked at her, "Just leave it all over there, we're busy. Now get out."

"But this is very important...." The Leader of the Flamer's Mob kept whining as she was shoved out of the office.

Once she was gone, administration personal number one sighed, "Now, where were we?"

"What about that complaint?"

"We'll get to it later. For now, let's keep working on creating this new way to confuse our users even more! It sounded pretty good."

****************

Tenshi and The Critic rejoiced as the Romance section came into view, but just before they could enter it four masked flamers blocked their path, so Tenshi and The Critic went around them.

The four turned to face their backs and shout, "Halt!" in unison.

Confused, Tenshi and The Critic turned back, while Tenshi said, "What is your problem, and why are all of you talking at once?!"

"We will be best here, and you must worship The Leader of the Flamers Mob and Fushigina Joshi. Don't bother in fighting us. Resistance is futile!" they said as they leaped into action, only to be stopped by an acme safe.

"Right. So much for that!" Tenshi said, rubbing his hands together. "Let's go!"

"I want an attack," Tenshi whined as two of the girl got back up. "Maybe I could do Final Flash?"

"No," The Critic said as he pulled her away, "they're girls. It won't work on them."

"Then maybe I could try it out on you!"

"Don't even think about it!"

"It's a joke, Critic!"

They ran and finally entered into the Romance section, Tenshi's special biological Dabura tracking radar searching for the demon king. She felt that he was at the sushi bar, and then Tenshi grabbed The Critic and ran full speed into the sushi bar, shouting, "Where is he?!"

Everyone turned to look at the new comers, while The Critic felt a sweat drop weigh down his head, embarrassed at the sudden attention.

Lyonette looked up at the newcomers, "Where is he, who?"

And then she saw him, stars filled her eyes as she ran for Dabura and attached herself to him, leaving Dabura in the same position Gohan was.

The Critic flushed with humiliation and just introduced himself to Lyonette as she served him some rice. "I'm The Critic, the one who attached herself to Dabura is Tenshi, and we're running away from the Flamer's Mob."

"What?"

Everyone turned to look at him while Datura spoke to him, "The Flamer's Mob is after you guys too?"

"Yeah. I'm not sure why," he grinned. "It might be because we criticized them, but still, is that any reason to attack someone?"

"Of course not. You guys can just come with us, but if they're after you, maybe we should get out of here," Datura pondered, knowing that the Flamer's Mob wasn't something to fear, it was just becoming a nuisance.

"We should, shouldn't we?" Kym asked, looking over at the newcomers. "All right, I'll get Kibito, LadyRivka and KaioShin. Just give me a couple minutes."

"All right," Datura said. "But we're not gonna wait much longer."

Vampire nodded to Kym, "You'd better hurry. Datura here can throw fireballs, and she's getting better. I don't think Lyonette wants her sushi bar to go up in flames."

"I see," Kym mumbled as she left the sushi bar, headed for a secluded area off to the side.

She quietly tip-toed through the perfect green grass and approached the two conspiring figures at the computer. LadyRivka and Kibito were eagerly giving honest comments to some of the KaioShin fanfics they came across, gladly giving their opinion on the whole matter and upsetting the authors. "Psst, guys," Kym whispered to get their attention. "Wrap it up soon. Everyone wants to leave now. The Flamer's Mob is coming this way, and none of us feel like dealing with them."

"That's understandable," LadyRivka whispered back and then gestured for Kibito to finish his last review, glad she got to do one or two before it was time to take a break.

"Kibito, go wake up KaioShin," Kym nudged the "guardian" when he finished up with the computer.

LadyRivka smiled and pointed to the cottage, "Yeah, he's in there all alone. You had better get in there before one of those fan-girls tries to wake him up."

Kibito merely looked at the two, wondering why he kept them around. Of course, LadyRivka seemed to be on his side, and Kym was quite fun, so maybe it wasn't so bad, but at the same time the teasing was upsetting.

Kym pushed Kibito to the cottage, "Go on in there and wake sleeping beauty up with a kiss."

"Would you stop it!" Kibito bellowed at Kym, a blush burning his face. He took a deep breathe and continued to the cottage, LadyRivka and Kym following close behind him. Quietly he entered the cottage and walked up to the bed.

Two shining ebony eyes opened up and stared at Kibito, while a slight smile formed on Shin's face. "Time to go again?"

"Hai, KaioShin-sama."

"All right then," KaioShin said sitting up. "Where do we go now?" he asked with his eyes staring at Kibito intensely.

Kibito had always loved how Shin's eyes could focus on one person to the point that person lost sight of anything else around them, but those deep black spheres. They never ended, they were timeless as KaioShin was immortal and hid all of his secrets from the outside world. His eyes mirrored his soul, so black you couldn't deny they held secrets, but they were innocent with their gleam and the trust displayed there. He could never understand how someone so naďve could hold so many secrets and hide so much behind those obsidian irises.

"I don't know, KaioShin-sama. Where can we go?"

"Maybe the next section," KaioShin suggested his, smile growing. "Kibito, you seem preoccupied."

"Oh, I apologize then, but I am not, KaioShin-sama. I was merely lost for a while."

KaioShin grinned at him, "Well, maybe we should go then. Where are the others?"

Kibito sat down on the bed next to Shin, and he was about to answer when several members of the group crashed through the door, pushing LadyRivka and Kym into the room.

KaioShin and Kibito looked up to find Satan, Vampire, Lady Eu, The Critic, and a crispy Dabura with an equally crispy Tenshi hanging on to him. Vampire gestured for them to leave, "We need to get out of here. The Flamer's Mob found us!"

"Surly they are not a problem for us. I thought these people were weak," Shin said, confused.

Satan chuckled, "It's not them we're worried about. It's Datura."

Vampire pointed to Dabura, "Yeah, she seems to have improved on her fireball attack, and we're not sure if the sushi bar is safe now."

Dabura just glared at the room's occupants while he grumbled, "Don't say her fireballs need improvement. Just a word of advice."

Back outside, too close to the sushi bar for Lyonette's comfort, Datura was fireballing the Flamer's Mob while Neko-chan jumped around, her claws  managing to keep her safe, for a short while.

Lyonette and Anime Dude were trying to keep everyone away from the sushi bar while Gohan was trying to calm anyone down, and Muzura wouldn't let go of him.

Tired of using her claws, Neko-chan decided to use her attack. "Hammer of Justice!" she yelled. A large hammer with the words, "Hammer of Justice," printed on it landed in front of her, but when she attempted to pick it up the hammer wouldn't budge.

Datura sweat dropped at the sight of the chibi cat-girl trying to lift the hammer, "Is that your only attack?'

"Yes..." Neko-chan answered with her face flushed.

Annoyed with the Flamer's Mob, Gohan grabbed the Hammer of Justice and moved it away from Neko-chan, pulled the cat-girl away and then powered up, sending more of the Flamer's Mob into the Pokémon section. Neko-chan pouted at this, "You can pick that thing up, even with her hanging onto your waist," she said, pointing at Muzura.

"Yeah, we need to get out of here before more of them show up and Datura's fireballs get stronger," Gohan whispered to the cat-girl. The rest of the group rejoined them and Gohan told Dabura to grab Datura, as she was still firing fireballs at the Flamer's Mob, well, what was left of it.

Dabura growled at Gohan, "Why?"

"Because you're the one that sent her into this fury!"

Disgruntled, Dabura pulled her away from the mess, causing a slew of angry statements from the enraged fanged girl. He just ignored it and joined the others to head for...wait a minute! 

"Where are we going?" KaioShin questioned the frenzied group.

Lyonette handed him a bowl of rice as she answered, "The Angst section!"

"You sure sound happy...." Gohan told her, bewildered.

"Yeah, my sushi bar is safe, we are leaving it alone now, and further more, KaioShin and Kibito looked very flushed!"

Gohan chuckled while KaioShin and Kibito flushed worse, and Lady Eu rejoiced at going back to her favorite section. Satan sighed, wondering if he would ever return to the Horror section, and behind the group was a trail of plot bunnies.

*******************

Deep inside of the cramped little Pokéball, Jigglypuff finally reached the end of Hamlet's soliloquy, and the yellow rabbit sharing space with her was more than relieved, until....

"When I do count the clock that tells the time,"

'NO!' the tiny rabbit screamed in her mind, outraged at the continuation. She was starting to develop a phobia for Shakespeare and was even considering giving it a special name. She daydreamed of having it widely used with her name.

Poetic Dark Jigglypuff finally took note of the frightened look on the rabbit's face and asked, "I guess you don't like that, huh?"

'No,' the rabbit said in her head.

Poetic Dark Jigglypuff said, "I thought so."

This caused the rabbit to twitch her nose, very disturbed. 'How can she hear me?'

"I'll just think of something else to do."

'Don't sing!' the bunny silently pleaded.

"I know! Why don't we draw on the side of the Pokéball."

Had the yellow rabbit been able to do so, she would have raised an eye brow, but instead she stood for twitching her nose again as the Dark Jigglypuff handed her a marker, and together they started writing and drawing while Fushigina Joshi ran for the Romance section.

****************

There you have it guys. Your long chapter. ::sigh:: I was right. It all seemed better in my head, but once I typed it out my opinion changed quite a bit. -_-; Oh well, at least it got out, right? Maybe not.
