Chapter One: The Problem With Boxes


5:00 A.M


All is quiet...except for...

DING!

"DAMMIT WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?!" A dirty blonde girl, still half asleep, growled at the door. The poor delivery guy decided he'd better run like hell, leaving a box on Arya's doorstep.

"What the... I didn't order anything..." She broke off when loud snoring came from inside the box. Arya growled and kicked it.

"SON OF A -BEEP!- I WAS TRYING TO -BEEP- SLEEP! I -BEEP-ING HATE BOXES!"

Arya stared at the box in complete horror. And utter confusion.

"..." She kicked the box again.

"WILL YOU -BEEP-ING STOP THAT!! WHOEVER'S KICKING THE BOX!!"

Arya decided to make herself known...to whoever was inside.

"Uh...who's in there?"

"Open the box, and you'll see..." The voice, which was obviously female, said in a creepy like voice. (Think of Higurashi)

Arya stared for a couple more minutes, then ran inside and came back with a box cutter. She sliced an opening in the top.

As soon as she did, a figure popped out. The figure turned out to be a girl about a couple years younger than her with a weird fashion sense.

"FINALLY! I'M FREE!!" The girl, who had brown hair and teal colored eyes, cried as she began kissing the ground.

"...And you are...?" Arya's brown eyes clouded with confusion. And horror. Again.

The brunette looked up from her reunion with the ground, and put on a big grin. "I'm Kay! What's your name?"

"Arya. And are you going to finish making out with the ground anytime soon?"

"...Yes, I'm done." Kay got up, picking up her baseball bat (which was covered in blood). Arya caught sight of the weapon and began eyeing it nervously.

"I hope you didn't kill anyone with that...?" Arya guessed, indicating the bloodied bat.

"...Uh...what if I did?" Kay asked with shifty eyes, hiding the bat behind her back.

Arya could feel the twitching coming on... She eyed the label on the box- big, red letters... "DO NOT RETURN TO SENDER. (NO, SERIOUSLY.)"

"...What? I got shipped from family to family, and for some reason, they all wanted to get rid of me..." Kay explained.

I can't imagine why... Arya thought, her left eye beginning to twitch. This girl's a psycho...

"So, can I stay with you?" Kay asked, immediately walking inside Arya's house without being invited in.

Arya followed after Kay. She's getting blood on the floor...

The floor you broke three plates on! Come on, it's not that clean...

Shut. Up. Or no cake for you.

...You...Wouldn't.

Try me.

Arya's inner started crying.

Kay turned to Arya and looked her straight in the eye. "Ayra..."

Ayra snapped out of her thoughts as she was making her inner cry, and looked at Kay, who's eyes had become demon like.

"Um...y-yes?" She felt another twitch coming on.

"Do you...like anime?"

Somewhere, a record stopping noise could be heard.

"U-um...yeah..." Arya started twitching again.

Suddenly, Kay produced a huge happy smile on her face. She ran foward and glomped Arya in a big bear hug.

"YAY! We're gonna be best friends!!"

The twitching got worse. It's gonna be a long day...

Tell me about it.

Did I say you could talk?!

Um...You did?

"Oh yeah, there's a fair going on today, wanna go with me?" Kay grinned happily.

"Sure...I would like to get away for a bit..."Arya nodded. Her inner started swearing.

What the-? She's a psycho! She could kill you! And dig you up and clone you! And kill your clones!

"Yay!! We're gonna have so much fun!!"


12:00 P.M.


Kay and Arya arrived at the fair, to be welcomed by a bunch of pies being thrown at them. They dodged the pies and Kay stuck her head inside a barrel of cotton candy.

"What did I tell you about huffing cotton candy?" Arya scolded like a parent.

"...It's bad and illegal and I shouldn't do it...but I will anyway..." Kay replied, sugary cotton goodness all over her face.

Out of the corner of her eye, Arya spotted a small, sour looking old lady, who reminded her of Grandma Chiyo (from Naruto), holding a leash which was attached to a small girl with dark purple hair and purple eyes.

"Mouse, come on. It's time for your treatment." The old lady said, struggling with the small girl on the leash.

"But I don't wanna get neutered! I'm not an animal!" The mouse-like girl whined, struggling to break free.

"But I don't want you to have babies..."

"I'm not an animal you senile old hag!"

Arya noticed Kay was slowly taking out her baseball bat, grinning mischieviously at the old woman.

"No. Not yet." Arya said softly, pushing back Kay's bat. "Let me deal with this."

She stormed forward, screaming, "HEY! SENILE OLD HAG!"

The old woman looked up. "Did somebody call me?"

"I'd like to buy this...girl from you."

"...How much will you pay for her?"

"Uh..."

"I'm not a thing that can just be bought! I am a human being with rights!" The girl, known as Mouse, yelled in a squeaky, high pitched voice.

"Why's your voice all squeaky?"

"I was born this way!" Mouse squealed with teary eyes.

"...So how much do you want for her?" Ayra asked again.

"I'll take twenty five dollars."

Mouse did a face fault.

"I'll get you old hag..." She muttered evilly. Sasori popped out of nowhere with a giant spear.

"Here. Get her with this." He handed it to her. She noticed he was wearing a Mickey Mouse hat and had cotton candy.

"You know this isn't Disney Land...right?"

"...A puppet can dream, can't he?" Sasori sniffled.

"Actually a puppet can't." Kay said, appearing out of nowhere, matter of factly.


A few minutes later...


Kay, Ayra and Mouse walked through the fair, getting weird stares because Kay was covered in blood. (She killed the old woman.)

Somewhere in a back alley, a man in a suit slunk around, humming the Mission: Impossible theme song. Occasionally he rolled into garbage cans and jumped into dumpsters.

A voice spoke over his communicator. "What in the hell are you doing?"

The man hid behind a dumpster."Not humming Mission: Impossible, Ryuuzaki-san..." he said, unconvincingly.

As the three girls were walking past the carasol, the man, wearing a horse costume, jumped out and tackled them to the ground. He put them in a cardboard box, sealed it up, and dropped it in the trunk of his car.

"NOO!! I'M BACK IN THE BOX!" Kay screamed in horror.

"Shut up Kay! You're hurting my ears!" Arya yelled.

"Well, Mouse is sitting on my hand!"

"Well your head is on my butt! And it is very uncomfortable!"

The man ignored the screams and complaints of the targets and pulled off the horse head.

"Mission complete." He said into his communicator.

"And how long did it take you?" The distorted voice asked unimpressed.

"...Three days..." The man mumbled sniffling.

"Just get back to Japan..."

"With the targets?"

"...Yes, with the targets..." The distorted voice replied, getting more annoyed.

"Okey dokey Ryuuzaki-san!

"And one more thing..."

"What?"

"Could you please not say...Okey dokey..."

The man sniffled, a single tear rolling down his cheek. He hopped in the car, and started it up. He put in a CD, which started playing the Mission: Impossible theme, but it malfunctioned and exploded.

The poor, unfortunate man sniffled again and drove away, the targets still complaining in the trunk.


A/N: There's the first chapter! Hope you loved it as much as we did! What will happen when the girls meet the task force?

Mouse: Very...bad things...
