Staggering Zechs rose to his feet eyeing the kids evilly and took off in a dash, occasionally holding onto a corner to steady himself. ////////////////////////////////////////// Jason looked back with fear and grabbing Su ran through an open doorway, and shut the door behind him, hoping to have lost Zechs on the last corner. The terror had started pretty quickly, a whole lot quicker than before. Who could've known the old guy would get so mad, it was just a reflex after all. Su timidly followed Jason across the room trying not to bite her nails as well as her lower lip. She'd combined both her parent's nervous habits. "He's not gonna get us, right?" she whispered tugging on Jason's sleeve. Jason shuddered in response, and reached for the door knob. "I hope not." ////////////////////////////////////////// * Zechs turned the corner and heard the door slam shut. Taking a wild guess he looped around to the other side of the hallway as quickly as possible. He started to smile devilishly, when he realized he'd been right on where the kids had gone. His smile grew wider, completely out of character for him, as the door knob began to turn and the door started being opened. The Lightning Count waited for just the right moment, and when he noticed he could completely see their heads he screamed. "BOO" ////////////////////////////////////////// Dean looked whistfully at the screen door before him, and stared it down, that door was going to open one way or another, even if the handle wouldn't work. Wrinkling up his nose, and crossing his arms he leaned heavily against the door pressing his face into the screen and made funny noises. Pressing forward a little more, the door popped open, and the little two year old had to work to keep himself from falling. Steadying himself, he smiled devilishly with immense glee, and onto the step down from the door and headed outside. Hehe, he'd learned a new trick, now he could really have fun playing. ////////////////////////////////////////// Duo honked his horn at the intersection, and shouted obsenities to the guy tailing his behind. The guy was too close for comfort, and the car was new. Getting exceedingly more impatient Maxwell gunned it, and sped through the light. Unfortunately a police officer was there to see him do it, and Duo got caught. "License and registration please, sir." Sighing Duo leaned down and looked through the glove compartment, to find it missing the registration. His eyes bugged, and with a sickly smile on his face he felt around in his pockets for his wallet, only it wasn't there. Duo gulped. "Who you believe that, I left it at home." The police officer just stared at him for a moment. "Wait here a minute." Duo rolled his eyes and sunk down in his seat, he had the very bad feeling that the day was going to get a lot worse before it got better. He crossed his legs, and folded his arms behind his head and closed his eyes. Police officers always took to long. Maybe he would just leave....... ////////////////////////////////////////// Dean wandered aimlessly down the street looking for anything with a suitable sandbox of sorts. Mommy had taken his away, after his daddy had done something stupid. He was kept in the house most of the time now. The little boy crossed the street a couple of times, going from one side to the other, and finally stopped when he found a house with a garden in the front yard. Smiling, he sat down and began to play. He licked his hands and stuck them in the dirt, and it stucked to his hands. Deaner boy giggled and began to dig a hole. Dirt was always fun to play with, you could dig or make mountains, or find worms. Worms looked like noodles, sometimes he wondered if they tasted like noodles but his mommy always stopped him from eating the wiggly creatures before he could get the chance. That always made him sad. Mommy wasn't there right now, so if he could find a worm, he could eat it. He snorted, daddy would be so proud of him. ////////////////////////////////////////// Driving slowly Noin started down the residential streets of Duo and Hilde's area, watching the streets as she went bye, half expecting to hear or see screaming kids, or a screaming Zechs. She laughed heartily at that image, for a moment, the only time she'd seen him lose his cool was when the little kids were around, and they had done something, older people he'd keep his calm around still, but the little kids he went berserk on. It was ok, as long as she wasn't part of it. Fire yawned for a second, and then stopped. She could have sworn she'd seen Dean playing in someone's garden. She shook her head no silently. Zechs honestly wouldn't let the kids just run out of the house like that would he, she certainly hoped not. Parking her bike, she got off and walked back down the road to where she thought she'd seen Dean, and sure enough there he was, all covered in dirt, and eating a worm. A WORM, Noin thought and lunged for the kid, taking the squirmy morsel out of his grubby little fingers before he could successfully eat it. Dean frowned at his empty hand, and looked for the person who had taken his food. She was standing right above him. Gruffly he stood up, and punched her in the leg twice. "Mine, mine" he shouted. Noin grimaced at the angry kid at her feet, and smiled slightly. She'd known there was a reason as to why she would never babysitt again. "It's mine now." "Mine," Dean repeated louder, kicking her in the shin again, and grabbing the worm from her hand as she leaned down to rub the sore spot on her leg. Dean's smile returned as a light came on in his head, and he stuck the worm in her hair. At first Noin didn't notice it, until she felt something moving on her scalp, and then she looked at Dean and his empty hands, and empty mouth. Grouse, she thought, and leaned over farther running her hands through her hair trying to get the worm out. She succeeded, and throughly disgusted threw the worm at Dean who was bouncing up and down too joyfully. Giving him the evil eye she picked him up and flung him over her shoulder. The worst he could do was bite her back. Not that that was an appealing thought, but it was better than trying to chase him home. She sighed, and her thoughts wandered to Zechs, and what the other kids must have been doing to him, or perhaps it was the other way around. Dean frowned at his position. As the walk progressed he started to like it, but unfortunately it made his stomach a little queasy. Maybe he shouldn't have eaten all that dirt. ////////////////////////////////////////// Jason and Su screamed, and froze in panic and turned to run. Zechs was quickly able to scoop Su up and through her over his shoulder like a rag doll, letting her throw a hissy fit on his shoulder. Jason on the other hand moved to quickly for Zechs to grab him, and moved for the other door, and rushed out with Zechs yet again on his heels. Jason didn't look back as he ran, Su's screams were loud enough as he ran to know exactly how close Zechs was to him, and that if he stopped Zechs would have him too. The tires Jason realized, as he turned another corner, and thought absently that his aunt and uncle's house was really odd shaped. The tires could be used to slow Zechs down, his dad had always taught him to use his surroundings to his advantage, actually that was probably Wufei, but that didn't matter right now. He swung through the kitchen on a sprint, only to be stopped at living room, by a very angry looking lady, whose shirt was stained an odd color. Noin had almost gotten to Duo's house when Dean puked, right now the little boy was laying very quietly, on the couch. The event had not put her in a happy mood, and Su's screaming, most likely combined with that of Jason and Zechs was not helping her. "SIT DOWN ON THE COUCH NOW." Jason gulped and sat down obedinetly on the couch, moving as far away from Dean as possible. Zechs and Su stood frozen in the doorway. Zechs and Su taking long looks at Noin's face obediently moved and sat down on the couch, not that Su had a choice. All of the "kids" sat lined up on the couch wearing that I'm going to get punished look on their faces, except for Dean, who was absently rubbing his tummy like his life depended on it. "Now that's better," Noin stated. She put on a fakely sweet smile. "Now can anyone tell me what's going on, and how Dean got out of the house?" The "kids" gulped and pointed at each other. Preventer Fire hung her head, she had expected some cooperation, at least from Zechs, he should've after all known better than to act like that. 10/17/02 *This little paragraph, has a second version sitting at home on paper if anyone would like to see the original, or thinks the version i posted doesn't fit in correctly. A/N: Hi there, I posted this without sending it to my beta testa, and yes I do have one now, and yes he is looking at something. I tried making this longer. Please tell me if I succeeded and if you would like me to continue making the chapters this long. Please review, I hate to beg, but it does make me get things done quicker. |
