Seventy-Two Hours

Chapter One

By: Rumi-Chan

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was a warm, balmy morning in Tokyo. The sky was blue, the grass was green, and a little five year old was causing mass chaos and havoc in the kitchen. Little Aiko Hiwatari stood on her tip-toes, attempting to reach the cereal box, knocking everything from the shelf and in sight askew. "Must....get....Cocoa....Puffs! Need breakfast!" Finally after knocking everything down, she sighed in defeat. 'This is going to be harder than I thought,' she pouted. Aiko then spotted a chair. "Aha!" she cried triumphantly as she pushed the chair towards the shelf, and reached as far as she could. Success! Her small hands grasped the top of the cereal box! Aiko smiled as she grabbed a bowl for herself and opened the cereal box. Her eyes widened at the sight before her.

The cereal box was empty!

A very loud wail was emitted from the kitchen.

The maids heard it, the servants heard it, Kai totally messed up on his pile of paperwork, and Tyson dropped the bottle of shampoo on his foot. Before you could say anything, Kai dashed off to the kitchen, praying that nothing bad happened. Minutes later, Tyson, clad in only a bathrobe, was sprinting toward the kitchen. They found Aiko howling in the kitchen. Tyson rushed over to Aiko, "Honey, what's wrong?" Aiko looked at her mother (Yes, Tyson is uke, and Kai is seme) with sad eyes. "Okaasan! There's-there's...." Tyson and Kai looked at their daughter questionably. Aiko bawled, "THERE'S NO MORE CEREAL! WITHOUT COCOA PUFFS, I AM NOTHING!" The parentals first sweatdropped, then they face-faulted.

Tyson looked at Kai and grinned, "I'll be leaving this to you." Kai paled, "No. NO! Ty! You can't do this!" Tyson brushed past Kai, "Later, dude!" Aiko made her way to the refrigerator, "Food! Need- food!" Kai mega- sweatdropped, "Why? Of all the reasons, why? Why did she have to get Tyson's appetite?! GAAAAAHHHH! Aiko!" Aiko was in the process of emptying everything out of the fridge.

After ten minutes of begging, pleading, reasoning, and threatening to confiscate a plushie collection and a beyblade; Kai and Aiko finally agreed on what to eat. Kai was scrambling eggs as Tyson entered the kitchen. Tyson gave Kai a peck on the cheek before asking, "What are we having?" Kai answered, "Scrambled eggs." Tyson giggled, "And exactly how did Aiko agree to that?" You know she doesn't like her eggs scrambled!" Kai whispered in his koi's ear, "I threatened to take away her plushie collection AND her beyblade." Tyson looked at Aiko, who was pouting in the next room, her legs dangling from the seat because she was so small. "I guess she decided to comply!" Tyson laughed as her ruffled Kai's hair.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile as Kai, Tyson, and Aiko were eating their breakfast, Garu was waking up his parents- well, trying to at least. Garu groaned as he marched towards his parents' room, a pillow in his hand. Garu closed the door quietly behind him and stood on his parents' bed. He raised the pillow above his head and smacked Rei really hard. "Wake up!" He then smacked Max. "WAKE UP!" After three smacks, Max surrendered. He slowly, reluctantly woke up and got out of bed. Garu looked at Max, "Morning Mom (Max=uke, Rei=seme)! How should I wake up Dad?" Max's speech was slurred, "Whatever-don't-really-care...."

Garu's smile went from innocent to impish as he jumped off the bed and ran to the doorway, then ran back and pounced on Rei, landing on his back. "Ooomph!" Rei groaned. "Dad! Wake up! It's morning! Wake up!" Rei's voice was muffled, "Alright, I'm up, please get off, Garu!" Garu scrambled off his father and whined, "C'mon dad! Get up!" Rei yawned sleepily as he walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Garu's impish grin returned. "Three, two, one...."

"GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! REI! ECCHI! HENTAI!"

"Why are you even saying that, Max? We're MARRIED!"

"Rei! WAIT YOUR TURN! I'll be out in a few!"

"And what am I supposed to do during that time?!"

"I DON'T KNOW! THINK OF SOMETHING!"

Rei grumbled incoherently as he sat on the bed beside his son, who was grinning like a maniac. Rei looked down at his son and raised an eyebrow. Garu looked up innocently at his father and said, "What?" He then slid off the bed and walked to his room, biting his lip to keep him from laughing out loud.

*The next day*

Tyson was on the phone with Max, Kai was finishing up another mound of paperwork, and Aiko was watching an episode of Inu-Yasha (Sorry! Couldn't resist putting that in there!) on TV. Kai stuck his head out of his office as he stared at his hyperactive five-year-old yell at the TV. "Stupid, clueless Hojo! SHE DOESN'T LIKE YOU BAKA! She likes Inu-Yasha! INU-YASHA! DER! Are you that stupid! BAKERU! IDIOT!" Once again, Kai sweatdropped. 'First I buy earplugs, then I cut off her intake of sugar. No, hold on, can't do that, Ty will make me sleep on the couch for a week or maybe two for sure." Kai banged his head on the desk and groaned. "Sometimes I ask myself, 'WHY ME!'"

Tyson entered Kai's study and slipped his arms around his koi's shoulders. "Stressed?" Kai closed his eyes and leaned his head against Tyson's chest. "Not anymore." Tyson's hands fiddled with the buttons on Kai's shirt, "I have something to tell you." Kai smiled, "What is it, Ty?" Tyson's hands moved to Kai's shoulders, "Max, Rei and Garu are coming from China to visit. They'll be staying with Max's parents." As Tyson massaged his shoulders, Kai asked, "How long will they be here?" Tyson continued to massage Kai's shoulders, "A month." Kai murmured, "That's nice." "Kenny and Emily are coming back from America as well," Tyson continued, "Emily gave birth a few weeks ago. It's a girl."

Kai stared up at Tyson, "When are they arriving?" Tyson answered, "Max and Rei were at the airport, they'll arrive tonight. Kenny and Emily will be here tomorrow." Kai smiled, "Aiko will be happy to see Garu again." Tyson smiled, "I wonder what kind of problems they'll cause this time." Kai chuckled, "Remember two years ago?" Tyson giggled, "Yeah, you had a fit!"

///Flashback: 2 years ago///

Aiko was outside waiting in her bright red wagon. Garu just finished harnessing the neighbor's German Shepard to the end of the wagon's handle and around his hind legs. Tied in front of the German Shepard were another neighbor's two miniature collies, held back by a broom handle, and separated by a metal bar. In the front was another broomstick tied to the second broomstick. Tied in the very front was Max's mom's very and extremely fat cat. The dogs were getting restless.

Aiko waited for Garu to make sure that everything was okay, and he climbed into the wagon. "Ready?" Garu said. Aiko nodded her head, "You bet!" "Okay!" Garu exclaimed, "GET THE CAT!" The dogs barked, and the cat mewed. The wagon was like a Hot Wheels racing car. "WHEEEEE!" The two children exclaimed. Rei and Kai just walked outside when a red blur passed them. Kai shot up an eyebrow, "What the hell was that?" Rei shrugged his shoulders, and the red blur passed them again.

Aiko examined the road, "Garu," she said, "I think we're on the wrong side!" "Garu argued, "Nu-uh!" Kai noticed the arguing children's voices as they passed by the house again. 'That's Aiko and Garu....and that an incoming...." The two children squealed, "CAAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!" Aiko quickly steered the dogs away from the car. The wagon hit the curb, and the two children flew onto the sidewalk. As for the cat, the dogs, and Aiko's red wagon, well- they didn't return until four hours later.

The cat clutched onto Rei for dear life, and the neighbors got their dogs back. Kai was never this pissed in his entire life. He was seething. As soon as Rei, Max, and Garu left. Kai exploded.

"AIKO! WHAT THE," Tyson plugged Aiko's ears because Kai was swearing like crazy.

"Aiko! How could you be so *plug* stupid? I *plug* can't *plug* believe that you'd be so *plug* stupid?! *plug* You could've been *plug* killed! *plug* Go to your *plug* room! I'm *plug* embarrassed! Ty! Are you *plug* plugging her *plug* ears again?!" Aiko looked at her mom, "Is daddy mad? Garu and I wanted to have fun!"

Kai hollered, "Does driving a *plug* wagon pulled by *plug* dogs and cats? Aiko! You are such a *plug* *plug* sometimes! Tyson! Stop *plug* plugging her ears! *plug*!" Tyson ushered his daughter out of the room, "Go to bed, honey. I'll be there to tuck you in. Daddy and I need to sort things out." Aiko's bottom lip trembled, "You're not getting separated, are you?" Tyson smiled, "No, babe, just go to bed." Aiko smiled and gave her mother a kiss on the cheek before bounding upstairs to go to bed.

Tyson and Kai stared at each other for a while before Tyson said, "You're sleeping on the couch tonight." Kai gaped, "What the hell?!" "You know better than to curse in front of our child," Tyson said before exiting Kai's office. Three seconds later, Tyson poked his head in the room and said, "And no sex for a week." After Tyson was gone, Kai yelled, "DAMMIT!"

///End Flashback///

Tyson and Kai both laughed out loud, but were interrupted when they heard a loud crash coming from the living room.

"AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

End Chapter One

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I know, it's not dramatic yet, but I wanted it to have a humorous start. As for the wagon idea, my dad and my uncle did that when they were five, so I thought that it would be funny to use that as part of the chapter.

Kai: *has duck tape over his mouth* MMMPPPPHHHHTHTHTH!

*looks at Kai* What's up with him?

Tyson: He wouldn't stop cursing....I had to do something....

Rei: No sex for a week!

Tyson: Max gave me the idea.

Max: *waves at Rei*

Rei: Oh, you are soooooo going to get it, Max.

Anywhoo, review please!

Ja ne!
