Chapter Nine/ Intermission
"Yo…" Nobunaga sniffed as he sneezed into a tissue he had brought. The flu wasn't exactly the worst thing that's ever happened to him, but it certainly wasn't the best. Still, he couldn't resist all those shiny bottles when Phinx, Feitan, and Franklin went a-knocking. Hisoka? He had just tagged along, completely against the wishes of the three he was stalking. It went something like Hisoka whipping out a pack of cards and suddenly everyone was nice to one another. Hooray! Not…
"You're up!" Sharlnark said happily as he looked at the two new people. "And Hisoka's… back… to…"
"Hi," Hisoka said to him as he gave him a wink that sent shivers down Sharlnark's spine. If he remembered his mother, she would have said to love everyone, which, mind you, is a good thing! But to an extent like Hisoka's… it just wasn't natural.
"Great," Kurotopi sighed as the people sat once more in a circle like how little kids would do when playing a game. Speaking of games…
"Okay, we've done convos, some games, etc. but can we please play that game?" Sharlnark asked as everyone settled down.
"I don't even want to know," Machi hissed. She had the 'pleasure' of sitting next to Hisoka. He must have planned it, that's what she kept telling herself. So annoying…
"Oh, this one I know!" Phinx spurt out. No one wanted to what was going on in his head, except Hisoka and Nobunaga, who hadn't been here for the previous… discussion…
"What?" Nobunaga asked tiredly. No, really, if you look at his eyes, he looks like he has an even more serious sleep disorder than Feitan.
"Truth or dare, right?" Shizuku answered before Phinx had a chance to say something stupid. Quite possibly 'pin the tail on the donkey'.
"No."
"No."
"No."
"No."
"No."
"Could be amusing…"
"What's 'Truth or Dare'?" Ah yes, that was asked by none other than or little friend who has probably never taken Sex Ed. before, Phinx!
Silence…
"Okay, who DOESN'T know truth or dare?" Machi sighed as she ran a hand through her hair.
"That's not the point, the point is why not? Come on, you agreed to every other game!" Sharlnark huffed.
"Actually, Feitan did," Franklin corrected him. "And he just said no to this game, so we don't have to play it."
"Feitan?" Nobunaga spat. "Why him?"
"Oh, voted on our temporary Danchou for the night. Feitan won," Shizuku informed them, pushing up her glasses.
"And I say I don't want to play that," Feitan told them.
Silence…
"So… what do we do now?" Kurotopi asked, breaking the silence.
"We should… have some fun…" Hisoka advised, looking at everyone and licking his lips. Inch away went everyone else. "As in, we should go out and kill someone… Kukuku…"
"No, Feitan wanted to play the 'kill and many people as you can' game, but then we decided it was stupid, so yeah…" Phinx sighed.
Silence
"I still want my stuff."
"I still want to know what S-E-X is."
"Does anyone have any Puff tissues?"
"I want out. I don't like him so close to me…"
"Hi Machi…"
"Why doesn't anyone want to do the stuff I do? I have my own hurt feelings too, guys…"
"Someone shut him up!"
"I agree. We should tie him to a chair, stuff something in his mouth, and let Feitan have 'fun'."
"Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb who's fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that…"
"What is she doing?" Nobunaga hissed to Kurotopi, who just sighed and shook his head.
"You do not want to know. In fact, you should just pretend you are going to have a seizure and go home," Kurotopi told him, knowing that many, many more disturbing and idiotic things were to come.
"What? You have something against me?" Nobunaga huffed as he scowled at cousin It.
"No, just offering friendly advice for what's to come," Kurotopi informed him as they went back watching the unfolding drama.
And now, we take an intermission!
Well, everyone gets hit with a sense of writer's block. So what better way to cure that than to give me a break! Yay! So in the meantime while I brawl over what to write, enjoy this little random piece I wrote when I was feeling psycho and out of it completely! So hooray for random insaneness!
Feitan's Toothpaste
It was three o' clock in the morning, the time where Feitan always woke up. Sure, it may still be considered dead in the night, but he made sure that he was ALWAYS up first, maybe one of the various reasons why he looks like he's in dire need of sleep. In fact, there was Nobunaga, getting READY for bed, while he, Feitan, after an hour of sleep, was ready to go for the day. Yeah, that's Feitan all right…
"Ugh… stupid building with no source of electricity…" Feitan mumbled as he trudged to the bathroom in his tuxedo, for that was the day he and Phinx were supposedly suppose to go to the auction, ambush a bunch of meat heads, get Phinx to kill them, and then he, Feitan, will knock out the worse of the lot and take the game and be all happy-happy about it… yay…
"Ugh!" Feitan went on as he made a new hole in the wall. Actually, it was starting to look more like holes with various pieces of concrete stuck in at irregular places. Yeah, that was one for every time he walked to the bathroom in the morning, ever since they got to York Shin.
"Ugh…" Feitan moaned again as he looked at himself in the mirror. His lips formed a scowl, his hair was all aloof, but even he's got to admit, he didn't look half as bad as he thought he would in a tuxedo… In fact, he looked tones better than all the other males! Well, aside from the height problem, then they'd all go for someone like Sharlnark if he had just ditched his wardrobe, but Feitan didn't care. Why? Because Feitan didn't give the dandiest about any girl whatsoever, only the ones in great peril in his favorite book, those he cared about…
With a heavy sigh, Feitan turned on the faucet, getting freezing water, which he quickly splashed onto his face and hair, and quickly combed it out. Heh, now Feitan was SURE that he had now even surpassed Sharlnark, and maybe even Danchou! But… why was he suddenly caring about his looks now? Hmm… strange mysteries…
With another heavy sigh, Feitan proceeded to unscrew the toothpaste bottle, take out his toothbrush, and squeezed the bottle… nothing showed up. Feitan squeezed harder, still nothing showed up. Feitan squeezed even harder using all his Nen potential, STILL nothing came out. Then Feitan realized that Nobunaga had used the last of the toothpaste! (if Nobunaga even used toothpaste…) A true crisis! Sure, he might not look the type, or even seem the type, but Feitan was VERY concerned about his personal hygiene, and now he was infuriated! In fact, he even wanted to use up all his blasted Nen to do that really cool move that burned everything to ashes so that Nobunaga would die, and he, Feitan would get his revenge for his lost toothpaste! And yes, the Ryodan only had ONE tube of toothpaste that they all had to share. Good thing that Danchou didn't make them share the same toothbrushes… now THAT would be a nightmare come true…
"Grr…" Feitan growled as he stomped out of the bathroom and literally kicked Nobunaga's door open.
"NOBUNAGA! GO BUY ME SOME TOOTHPASTE! AND I WANT THE MINT KIND!" Feitan screamed at the samurai-looking 'wannabe' in his opinion, but Nobunaga didn't even move the slightest.
"WAKE UP!" Feitan tried, louder this time. Still he didn't wake up. Feitan then sped over and gave him a Nen-ified punch, sending his body against the concrete walls, making several cracks, but still, STILL Nobunaga didn't wake up. Yeesh, talk about a deep sleeper…
"Grr…" Feitan growled again as he stomped out, went back to the bathroom, took out a red bucket, filled the red bucket with the iciest water that could come out of that stupid faucet, marched back to Nobunaga's room, dumped the whole bucket of water on the guy, and what happened?
"Zzzzzz…"
"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" Feitan screamed loudly as he banged the bucket repeatedly over Nobunaga's head, acting very out of his usual self due to the fact that it WAS three in the morning, and it usually took six cups of coffee to get him into a dark and dreary mood, or as we all have come to know, the 'normal' Feitan. "WAKE UP!"
"Feitan, keep it down, I'm trying to sleep!" Kurotopi's voice interrupted Feitan's rant. Feitan cast one last grudging look at Nobunaga before he marched out of the room and down the hall to Phinx's room.
"PHINX! I NEED TOOTHPA-" Feitan started before he nearly avoided a thrown glass that had been chucked from a very angry Phinx, who clearly did not want to be disturbed. Feitan quickly closed the door as he heard the lamp fly, and tiptoed away, very, very quietly…
"Grr…" No one was waking up to buy him some toothpaste! People here at Ryodan were so mean! Wait, oh, yeah… they were 'heartless killers', duh… But Feitan wanted someone NICE here! Hmm… Shizuku was nice…
"Shizuku!" he called as he knocked on her door because he knew that stomping into other people's rooms wasn't a good way to get them to buy toothpaste.
"Wha-?" came Shizuku's face, quickly followed by a yawn and her light footsteps approaching to door. "…Feitan?" she asked, half awake as she opened the door to spot the tiny figure all dressed up while she herself was still in her nightdress.
"Shizuku, could you please do me a big favor?" Feitan pleaded her, though his voice sound as blank and bored as normal.
"Hmm? What kind?" Shizuku asked tiredly.
"Well, Nobunaga use up all the toothpaste, and I was hoping you could go buy me some?" Feitan asked her rather shyly. You don't see the master of torture and pain asking others to but him toothpaste everyday now would you?
"Hmm? Sure… wait, what did you want me to buy again?" Shizuku asked, yawning. Feitan just shook his head as he walked down the hall. "I'll get you your hairspray in the morning, Feitan!"
"Never mind!" Feitan sighed as Shizuku yawned again and closed her bedroom door. What was wrong with this Brigade! No one was willing to buy him toothpaste! With a heavy sigh, Feitan realized what he must do: go buy it himself… oh, the horror!
"…Ugh!" And now there was one less wall in the Ryodan hideout…
Please excuse the random outburst, I'm not feeling myself...
