I'm back, peoples! New year, new Keyboards and Writer's block! Yep, I'm bringing it back for a second story! I'm really hoping you guys are excited, because I am!

Soooo much has happened since I ended KaWB... I got curtains in my room now for one... I got this awesome hat with stripes on it... um... I got uh... um... my skateboard fixed... um... Man my life is boring...

Well, truth be told, the reason why I haven't been uploading more stories or even updating my wintertime fanfic COLD is because I started an original work called Hylo: Arachnid, which is a really hard story to explain. If you want to check it out, I got the first few chaps up on fictionpress. I'm using a different name on there since I'm trying to be all mysterious so I can get more readers, it's NagekuShosetsuka... The whole mysterious thing? Yeaaah it's not working... I might just change it to Symmetricalist soon.

Well, I'm on this enormous writer's block right now, so I decided "Eh, why not just start writing part 2 of KaWB until I get more ideas?" And so that is what I'm doing.

If you have never read KaWB 1, you might wanna, just so you don't get confused or anything...

And now, I present to you, after months and months of waiting...

~8*Keyboards and Writer's Block 2:*8~

~8*I haven't come up with a good subtitle yet*8~

ENJOY!

Chapter 1:

Deja Vu

"Life and Death. When I think of those two things, I think of the flowers, the flowers on the cherry blossom tree outside to be exact, the beautiful tree that has adorned the backyard for years now. When we moved in it was just a small sapling, I remember Dad wanted to get rid of it because he wanted to put a playground there. But I screamed and cried and did everything in my power to stop him from cutting it down."

"Beautiful, absolutely beautiful." Kid sat back in his desk chair and observed the words before him over and over, ensuring that there were no mistakes before he continued, "Writing is much easier once you get the hang of it, my next novel shall be absolute brilliance, even better than the last five…" He leaned into the desk again and placed his hands upon the beautiful, perfectly symmetrical keyboard in front of him and prepared to continue his masterpiece…

"It's bigger now, but it would be dead had I not intervened with my father's decision. Nineteen years have passed and it's big and beautiful. And its flowers…"

"BAP!"

The sudden noise of something small and soft hitting his bedroom door startled him a bit, and he turned around quickly, his eyes scanning the room. The door was closed, so whatever it was obviously hit from the outside. After a few seconds of continued silence, he resumed his writing and totally forgot about the sound…

"And its flowers, they're gorgeous. They're pink as the clouds in the sky at sunset, and light enough to float through the air gracefully on a windy day. Those little cherry blossoms…"

"BAP!"

There it was again.

"Who's throwing things at my door?!" He yelled, not so much that it would startle whoever was there, but just enough for them to hear it loud and clear.

There was no response for a moment, so he ignored it yet again and continued.

Or, at least, he tried to continue as the repetitive "Bap" noise had now become relentless, making itself impossible to ignore.

Kid groaned and angrily got up from his chair. Never could he have a single moment of peace during writing, never.

He reached the door and opened it to reveal a little girl with big blue eyes and brown pigtails, holding a stuffed rabbit, and duct tape was covering her mouth, making it impossible for her to speak.

"Mmmmie! Mmrmm mrm mrm!" She mumbled, trying her hardest to explain what happened to her despite the silver tape covering her mouth.

"Kiseki, why is there duct tape on your mouth… Again?" He didn't seem too alarmed by this; after all, it happened on a weekly basis now. He didn't actually expect her to answer, but she gave him a "mouthless" grin that told him it was something she absolutely did on purpose to get her Daddy's attention.

He sighed, a slight smile coming onto his face as she reached out her tiny fingers and grabbed his much larger hand, waiting for him to lead the way to the bathroom so that he could get the tape off safely.

"Yeah, I know the drill…"

/\/\/\8*8*8*8/\/\/\

After a few minutes of peeling the tape off bit by bit and consistently dabbing the adhesive area with a mixture of alcohol and water, the tape was finally off of the adorable little girl's mouth, and she could finally talk again.

"I thought I told you to stop doing this, Kiseki. You're not going to have any lips left if you keep duct taping your mouth every single time that I'm too busy to play with you."

"But… you said we could play today when you were done working. You are done working now, right?" She asked with the biggest puppy dog eyes in existence and a slight quivering lip to break him down even more.

"Kiseki, I'm very busy today, I started a new book and…"

"Pweeease, daddy?" She put her hands in a prayer formation and somehow her eyes got even bigger. He should have known that there was no arguing with a five year old girl, no matter what he said, she'd find a way to make him putty in her hands.

"I… I guess I'm done working for now…"

"Yay!" She grabbed onto his cheeks with her hands and gave him a big kiss right in the middle of his forehead. She jumped off the toilet seat and ran towards the door, opening it up with a quick swift of her hand, and ran out into the hallway.

"Come, daddy! I have a new game I want to show you!" He followed her as she ran down the stairs into the living room. He just about had a heart attack the moment he laid eyes on the place, which was a feeling he knew all too well since Kiseki learned how to walk…

"Wha… What did you…" Every single one of the toys from her bedroom was sprawled across the living room floor. There were toy monkeys hanging from the ceiling fans, Play-Doh smooshed onto the walls, barbies dolls stuffed in the couch cushions, and a small note on the coffee table that read,

Went to do some errands, be back in an hour,

Liz

"Your mother seriously left you alone in the living room and didn't bother telling me?!" He held the note in his hand, furious that Liz would actually leave the Princess of Destruction alone without warning him to keep an eye on her.

"Well she didn't want to interrupt you so she told me to give you that note after she left."

"Then why didn't you!?"

"I was busy trying to find the duct tape so I could get your attention." He facepalmed himself before scrunching the letter up into his fist and showing his teeth in anger.

"Listen… The game we're going to play today is called clean up the living room or else no TV for a week." Kiseki gave him a serious look for a moment. There was a long, breathless pause… And then she started screaming…

"No! I need TV to live! Please! I need my TV!I need my favorite show to survive! I need the R Brothers to survive! DADDY! BE FAIR!"

"Kiseki quit screaming or else the game is clean up the living room and you don't get TV whether you do or not!" She stopped screaming and looked at him again, this time with a little more compliance.

"You'll help Kiseki clean up, right Daddy?"

"Yes, Kiseki, I will help you clean."

"And does Kiseki get ice cream if she does a good job?"

"We'll see." She stared at him again, not moving a single muscle.

"Um… Does Kiseki get a brownie if she does a good job?"

"If Kiseki would do anything besides just stand there you'd get a lot of stuff, but here you are, wasting time, not getting any brownies or…" Kiseki suddenly turned into a bolt of lightning, flying around the room at extreme speeds, cleaning everything within a matter of minutes and getting all the toys out of sight and placing them neatly inside her room. She was finished before Kid could even finish his sentence, or even remember what he was talking about to begin with.

"Does Kiseki get a brownie now?!" Now he was the one speechless. Kiseki really did love her brownies.

"Well, let's see if you really did get everything picked up first." He began walking around the living room, inspecting every single nook and cranny, ensuring, double ensuring, triple ensuring, and quadruple ensuring that she really did clean everything in that short amount of time. And he was genuinely impressed with the fact that she did. In fact, the living room looked better than it did before she ransacked it.

"Did Kiseki do a good job? Did she did she did she didshedidshedidshedidshe?"

"Yep, looks like you did." He placed his hands on his hips, taking pride in Kiseki's attention to detail. He knew that came from him, even if Kiseki wasn't his biological daughter, "You know what you get now?"

"A brownie!? Ice cream?!"

"Nope."

"Huh?" She looked extremely upset by his still refusal to give her what she clearly deserved at this point, upset and confused, and hurt too.

"You get ice cream on top of a brownie."

"Yay! I love you daddy!" She jumped up into his arms and gave him a giant hug around his neck, squeezing him as tight as she could to show her appreciation.

"I love you too, Kiseki…"

'And I'm gonna love the look on your mother's face when she finds out she has to deal with her sugar high daughter while I'm working…'

Aw, that seems kinda mean...

Eh, it was funny so I kept it.

So, did you like it? I hope you liked it, because I'm just so excited to finally be starting this series again! I got great inspiration for original works while writing KaWB, and I enjoyed it a lot too, it was really fun doing a long term fanfic. When it ended I was both relieved and sad, relieved that I no longer felt like I had to sit up all night and think of new ideas, and sad that my adventure with Kid was over...

But now it's back!

And before you ask, yes, I'm bringing Simon back too ;) I have no clue if you were going to ask that or not but oh well.

If you've never read KaWB, or never finished it, you're gonna be super duper confuzzled. If so, here's a few major things that happened in the first story that have already been pointed at in this one.

Kiseki is Liz's daughter, and Kid's adopted daughter.

Kid is now a writer

and as a random tidbit of information, the book Kid was writing was actually the beginning of my original work, Hylo: Arachnid. Throughout the story he'll be writing my book, mostly because my brain is too fried to make him write anything else.

That's all you gotta know for now! Chapter 2 will be out whenever my brain recovers from me walking into that door just now... Wow I want a bagel...

See ya real soon!
