~Distraction~

I have SO many broken bones, therefore my typing has been delayed. Please be patient. You know, I have a feeling that nobody reads the beginning or end author's notes... If you do, in your review leave the word "applesauce". Let's see how this ends...

Check out Elena Hurley's new KFP oneshpt! It's really good :D Weird that we both had the same idea... We just presented it differently :)

Monkey groaned for what seemed to be the millionth time that day. After an exhausting trip back from Gongmen City, Master Shifu had recommended all of them get an acupuncture session with Mantis. Monkey was the first, of course; he was, after all, the one that was crushed by Po when the tower was collapsing. He was sitting in the floor with Viper holding the picture of a monkey and all of the chi points for reference. Mantis quickly grabbed his needles and set to work.

"Can you hold it steadier, Vipe?" Mantis asked, barely looking at her.

Viper huffed. She was a little peeved that Mantis couldn't work on her first. Not that she didn't want anyone else to be worked on, but after not being alone with him for nearly a week... It was driving her insane!

The others didn't really need acupuncture that bad, did they...?

Grinning and showing off her white fangs, she lowered her eyelids. "I recall saying that to you the other night..."

Mantis and Monkey yelped collectively- Mantis because he was surprised by the bluntness (and truthfulness) of her words and Monkey because of the needle that was shoved into his shoulders. "Hey, watch it, Mantis!"

Taking a deep, shakey breath, Mantis nodded. "S'rry."

He grabbed another needle, going to Monkey's back and wondering why Viper was acting the way she was. She and Mantis had been in a secret relationship, so why was she putting it at risk by flirting with him in front of, of all freaking people, Monkey? He looked toward Viper to take a look at the diagram again. He almost choked when she gave him the most intense and suggestive stare he had ever seen. Monkey's pained yell brought him back to earth. He immediately pulled the needle out of the primate's back (how the hell did that get there...?). "Sorry, dude," he said distractedly.

"Acupuncture usually doesn't hurt this bad," Monkey grumbled.

"Viper, I think Tigress may want you in the other room..." Mantis said a little forecfully, wanting the damn tease to leave the room so he wouldn't be distracted anymore.

"I think someone else may want me," she said, giggling and fluttering her eyelashes.

Monkey cursed as yet another needle was in him, this time in the arm. "Dammit!"

Mantis coughed violently. 'Damn tease!' "Viper-"

"Why are you whining?" Viper asked, slithering closer.

"Stay back!" Mantis screeched, jumping on top of Monkey's head.

Monkey shook him off and, in the same move, ripped all of the needles out of his body. "Get your girlfriend under control, Mantis! When you aren't distracted, we can do this..."

Monkey left the room with a huff. Viper had slithered closer to Mantis, backing him into a corner. He didn't look nearly as frazzled as he once did. "Why would you do that?" he asked. "One of the points about distractions is that everything that they do is destabilizing. Why destabilize me, Distraction?"

"I'm not a distraction," Viper pouted. "I just want some alone time..."

"Why didn't you just say so?" Mantis smirked, going in for a kiss.

Everyone was patiently waiting for Monkey to be done with his acupuncture session. But they didn't expect him to be storming into the kitchen only five minutes after it had started, glaring at everything while rubbing his shoulder and muttering about seductresses and needles not going together well.

"... Monkey...?" Po asked uneasily. "Are you okay? Who's turn is it now?"

"Viper's," he snapped. "I wouldn't expect it to be over soon. I wouldn't interupt them, either."

IMPORTANT!: Sorry for the delay, friends. But I have broken the whole right side of my body by falling off of a three story building, so it's nearly impossible to type. But while I'm sitting in my bed bored as hell, I'll write! It'll take some time, though...

Don't forget that word ;)
