Invading Sasinak’s Dorm!!!!! Sasinak was trying to study her physics…trying being the key word. It would help if her roommate, who acted like she had an IQ lower the Gourry’s, would turn her music down… “ Nathalie!,” Sas called as she slammed her book closed. “ Could you please turn down that music!” “ Did you say something Sas?,” Nathalie screamed over the music. Sas sighed and hung her head. “ Next year, I’m getting my own room,” Sas vowed to herself. Outside… “ Are you sure this is the right place?,” Phibrizio asked as he looked around. “ This place seems to…boring…for Sasinak to live.” “ Trust me, this is it…and it’s anything but boring from what Sas has told me,” Viv said. She was still in the dress, and Val had stolen Gaav’s trench coat and thrown that over his sister. (read ‘Viv’s Harem’ to find out about the dress) “ Has she told you about her roommate?,” Deep Sea asked. “ The girl acts like Gourry, but apparently had intelligence since she got into this school.” “ Sasinak…she’s the girl who has the little purple dragon wings and tail that was scared to death of me, right?,” the Horseman asked. “ Yeah, and she’s Viv’s best friend and coconspirator,” Xellos added. “ And she’s Valgarv’s girlfriend, but they’re just as bad as Viv and Phibrizio are about admitting they like each other,” Gaav snickered. “ What are we going to do with Daredevil?,” Zelas asked. “ Why not just leave him out here? There’s plenty of grass and he can run if anyone tries to catch him,” Dynast said as he headed for the door to the dorms. “ Sas is *not* going to like this,” Valgarv muttered as everyone headed up a flight of stairs. Meanwhile… Sas was trying to study again, but now Nathalie was making a bunch of racket in the kitchen. “ I think I preferred the music,” Sas growled under her breath. “ Hey Sasinak! There’s a group of people at the door for you,” Nathalie yelled from the main room. The dorms were small and had a living room type space in the kitchen in one room, and two bedrooms. Sas got up and went to the door, and her mouth dropped open in shock, “ Viv-chan!” “ Sas, we need to stay with you for a week…Valgarv blew up my house…,” Viv mumbled. “ NANI!?,” Sasinak yelled. “ What happened?” “ Well…you know how I told you I was going to form a harem? I did…,” Viv said and proceeded to tell Sas the events that had taken place. “ Oh boy…so now you need a place to stay?,” Sas asked. “ We have one,” the Horseman said as he sat down on the couch. “ Right here…” Sas sighed. “ Sure…you’re going to have to put up with Nathalie though.” “ Can we kill her?,” Gaav asked with an evil grin. “ NO!,” Viv and Sas both yelled. It was at that moment that Nathalie decided to bound back into the ‘living room’. “ Hi ya! I’m Sas’s roommate Nathalie!,” she beamed. Then she attempted to start flirting with Dynast…attempted, mind you. Dynast ignored her completely and sat down on the couch next to the Horseman. Zelas wandered towards the bedroom, Deep Sea sat down at the table and sat back to watch the chaos unfold, Phibrizio was putting on the little kid act as Nathalie gushed over him being *so* cute, Xellos headed out to the tiny balcony and watched as a bunch of kids made a huge fuss over Daredevil. “ Sas…if you can’t put up with us…,” Viv started. “ No big deal! Now I have someone to hold intelligent conversations with,” Sas grinned. Valgarv stood in the doorway, shaking his head…it was going to be a very long week… That evening… “ Look, we all have to sleep somewhere, you know…the beds are only big enough for one person, the rest of us are going to have to camp out on blankets on the floor,” Viv said. “ Sas and Nathalie, you guys keep your beds, I’ll figure out what to do with everyone else.” Nathalie mumbled something in her sleep in response. Sas laughed, shook her head, and went into her room. “ Horseman? Are you just going to watch TV all night or what?,” Viv asked him. The Horseman still hadn’t moved from his spot on the couch, and looked quite comfortable with his cloak and boots thrown in the middle of the floor and the remote control in his hand. “ Dead men don’t sleep,” the Horseman grinned. “ Although I could go for some popcorn. How’s it coming in there, Xellos?” An explosion from the kitchen was the only reply. “ Good then,” the Horseman said and went back to channel surfing. Viv sighed. “ Xellos and the Horseman have the living room then…” “ Gaav, Dynast and I can crash on Nathalie’s floor,” Phibrizio grinned. “ What are you guys planning?,” Zelas asked, her hands on her hips. “ Nothing,” Dynast said evilly. “ Nothing to evil, okay guys. Don’t kill her,” Viv said. “ That wouldn’t be any fun…,” Gaav smirked as he, Phibrizio and Dynast headed into Nathalie’s room. “ Popcorn!,” Xellos called cheerfully as he came in from the kitchen, three bowls full of popcorn in hand. “ The kitchen is only slightly scorched, nothing a good cleaning wont fix, Viv-chan, so stop giving me that look.” “ I claim the floor in Sas’s room,” Deep Sea said and bolted. “ Me too!,” Zelas asked and joined her. “ Oniisan? Where are you going to sleep?,” Viv asked with a yawn. “ Don’t worry about me, Viv,” Val smiled at his sister as she headed into Sas’s room. “ I’ll keep an eye on everyone for you…” Outside… Daredevil was having a grand time running from the men with rope dressed in the silly blue uniforms. The had been chasing him for the better part of the afternoon, and it was fun to let them get close to catching him, then bolt. “ Stupid horse! Stand still!” one particularly tired man yelled. Daredevil whinnied and ran off again, as if to say, ‘call me stupid, will you?’ Around midnight… Nathalie had gotten maybe an hour’s worth of sleep. Gaav was snoring something awful, so was Dynast, and Phibrizio was mumbling under his breath in his sleep. Nathalie sighed and headed into the living room, pillow and blanket in hand. Maybe no one was on the couch… The second she was gone, Dynast and Phibrizio were on the bed, Gaav, who really was out cold, continued to snore until Dynast fireballed him. In the living room… The guy everyone kept calling ‘the Horseman’ was still awake in the living room watching TV. Xellos was out cold on the kitchen table, his head on a pillow and his arms wrapped around Sas’s stuffed cabbit. “ Hi,” Nathalie said as she sat down on the couch. The Horseman didn’t even acknowledge her existence and kept watching TV. Nathalie shrugged and lay down, and was about to stretch out and put her feet in the Horseman’s lap when a glare from him stopped her in mid stretch. She giggled nervously and decided that maybe stretching out on the floor wouldn’t be such a bad idea…in Sas’s room… The Horseman grinned as she practically ran from the room, leaving him to watch TV in peace. He heard a whinny from outside, and knew Daredevil was okay. Valgarv breathed in the night air and chuckled as he watched the cops attempt to catch Daredevil for the 357th time. Val was outside on the balcony, and had planned just to catch a breath of fresh air, but had spotted Daredevil and had decided watching the horse evade the cops was more entertaining then watching TV or Sas’s bimbo of a roommate try to find a place to sleep… “ Three hundred fifty eight,” Val smiled. Nathalie quickly decided that Sas’s floor wasn’t much better off then the living room. Viv was across the room against the wall, but she wasn’t bother Nathalie, it was Zelas and Deep Sea. The only place with room enough for Nathalie to lay down was between the two women, and Deep Sea kept kicking her in the back with her knee, and Zelas kept rolling over and trying to steal Nathalie’s blanket. With a cry of frustration, Nathalie stormed into Sas’s bathroom, closed the door, and got as comfortable as she could in the tub. Deep Sea and Zelas winked and gave each other a high five before going back to sleep. The next morning… “ Where’s Nathalie?,” Sas asked after realizing it was unusually quite for the morning. “ I don’t know,” Gaav shrugged. “ She was gone when I got up, and Dynast and the Hellbrat had taken over the bed.” “ You drove her out with your snoring,” Phibrizio said. “ She came out here, but after deciding stretching out on the couch with her feet in my lap was not a good idea, she headed into your room,” the Horseman said. “ She wasn’t in there this morning though,” Viv argued. “ She never left the dorm. I was out on the balcony last night, watching Daredevil play tag with the cops. They’re still ‘it’,” Valgarv smirked. “ They aren’t going to catch my horse,” the Horseman shook his head as he pulled his boots on and headed out onto the balcony. “ L-Sama! He can move!,” Xellos laughed. “ I call the couch,” Zelas said as she stretched out onto the couch. “ Did you see Nathalie last night at all?,” Sas asked. “ Um…you wouldn’t believe me if I said no, would you?,” Zelas asked. Viv glared at her. “ What did you and Deep Sea Dolphin do to Nathalie?,” Viv demanded. Sasinak had gone to inspect her room and see if she could find her missing roommate. “ We didn’t do anything,” Deep Sea said defensively. “ It’s not like we made her go to sleep in-,” “ Nathalie! What are you doing in the tub!?,” Sas yelled from her room. “ You guys!,” Viv yelled. “ Good one,” Dynast whispered to Zelas and gave her a high five. “ Tonight we-,” Phibrizio started “ Do absolutely nothing!,” Viv said and glared at him. “ Hai, Viv-chan,” Phibrizio sighed. “ This is going to be a long visit,” Valgarv sighed to himself as the Horseman came back inside, picked Zelas up off the couch, and chunked her out the window. That afternoon… Viv and Sas had dragged the Horseman, Val and Phibrizio shopping. Zelas would have gone but refused to do anything with the Horseman since he was so mean, and ordered Xellos not to talk to him either. Deep Sea had decided to stay home and torment Zelas about not going shopping, Dynast was having fun watching Daredevil’s escapades out side, and Gaav had taken over the kitchen in his search for food. Nathalie had left that morning, and the others hadn’t seen her since. At the mall… “ I am the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow! And I don’t go shopping!,” the Horseman grumbled for the fifth time. “ Will you get over it!,” Viv said. “ I ha-,”the Horseman started, but then he saw a Wilson’s Leather Store and practically ran the others over to get there first. “ Doesn’t he have enough leather stuff?,” Phibrizio grumbled. “ Apparently not,” Val shrugged. “ Come on. They might have some good stuff in there, Hellbrat.” “ Yeah…I’ve been thinking about getting some leather pants,” Viv said as she and Sas headed into the store. Phibrizio grinned and Valgarv’s eye twitched. “ VIV! You are not buying leather pants!,” Val yelled and ran after his sister. “ This should be fun…,” Phibrizio snickered and followed. Fifteen minutes later, Viv was mad at Valgarv and had proclaimed that she was never going to speak to him again. Then she made the Horseman ‘protect’ her from her evil big brother. “ Viv, aren’t you going a little far with this?,” Sas asked. “ No! He picked me up and carried me out of the store and he treats me like a two year old!,” Viv yelled. Sas sighed and nudged the Horseman and Phibrizio. “ I could use a little help here, you two,” she hissed at them. “ Um…that just means he…um…worries about you?,” the Horseman tried. “ Because I want to buy leather pants!?!,” Viv asked. The Horseman shrugged and Sas shook her head. “ He doesn’t want guys hitting on you I guess…,” Phibrizio suggested. “ No, it’s just that he’s an over protective EVIL big brother,” Viv growled. “ Viv! I’m not evil,” Val whined from behind the other three. “ She’s not speaking to you,” Phibrizio reminded him. “ Oh look! Natural Wonders,” Sas said and ran into the nature store with Viv hot on her heals. “ Twenty bucks says they come out with at least ten animal shirts apiece, and Viv has new jewelry of some kind,” the Horseman said. “ We’re not that stupid. You just want twenty bucks so you’ll have enough to get that black leather trench coat you saw at Wilson’s,” Phibrizio said and the Horseman muttered something under his breath in German and crossed his arms over his chest. An computer game store, the CD, the book store, the movie store, and about a hundred bucks apiece later, the group decided they’d done enough damage and it was time to go back to Sas’s. They were almost to the exit when it happened. “ Hi ya guys!!!!!,” a voice yelled from behind them. The all stopped dead in their tracks. “ Oh no…not here…,” Val whimpered. “ It can’t be…,” Phibrizio said. “ I thought we left to escape the stupidity…,” the Horseman sighed. “ Maybe she has an tracking device or something,” Viv suggested. “ I get enough of this at home!!!,” Sas wailed and Val patted her shoulder. “ I said hi guys!!!!,” the bubbly voice giggled as it’s owner ran up. “ Hi Nathalie,” the group said together in a monotone voice. “ Wow. What did you buy?,” Nathalie asked. “ Not much really. Look we really got to go…we left the others at the dorm, and they just called us on Viv’s cell phone, and we need to get home right away,” Sas said. “ Oh…okay! See you at home then!,” Nathalie said. “ Mission accomplished…we got rid of her,” Val sighed. “ Are you still mad at me Viv?” “ Maybe,” Viv said and crossed her arms and left the mall. “ Long, long week,” Val sighed and followed the others out. “ Can I drive?,” the Horseman asked. “ NO!,” Sas yelled. Soon… Everyone had finally gotten into the car after ten minutes of stuffing everyone’s bags in the trunk and arguing who got to sit where and over who got to drive. They were about to turn onto the main road when another car ignored a stop sign and hit the rear of Sas’s car. They weren’t going fast, but Sas was still mad, and smoke was practically coming out of her ears she got out of the car. “ This wouldn’t have happened if I’d been driving,” the Horseman said. Viv hit him. “ It wasn’t Sas’s fault,” Viv said, and hit the Horseman again for good measure. “ Oh my God! I am so sorry Sas!!!!!,” an all too familiar voice said from outside. Viv, Val, Phibrizio and the Horseman all turned, and saw that Nathalie was driving the other car. “ You ran a stop sign!!!!,” Sas screamed. “ There was a stop sign there?,” Nathalie blinked. Sas whimpered, and Nathalie grinned. “ Oh, it’s only a little dint Sas! You can barely see it!!!” “ Go home, Nathalie…just go home,” Sas said as she climbed into her car, and waited for Nathalie to leave before even starting her car up. “ Now can we kill her?,” Phibrizio asked. Sasinak just sighed and headed home. In the parking lot at the dorms… “ Here horsy horsy horsy,” Deep Sea Dolphin called. She had on khaki shorts, a white tee shirt, and a safari helmet. She also had a huge net slung over her shoulder. “ Here Daredevil! I’ve got oats!,” Gaav called. He was in his normal outfit, but had a rope in his hand. “ Here cute little horse!,” Zelas said. She had on a khaki colored dress on, with boots and a safari helmet. Her hair was in a ponytail, and she had a net like Deep Sea’s. “ This is stupid!,” Dynast rolled his eyes. He was in his normal out fit, and was reading a book as he walked along. “ DAREDEVIL!!!!,” Xellos screamed. He was in all out camouflage, face paint and everything, and he also had a cattle prod. “ Shhhhh!!!,” the four Dark Lords hissed. “ And put the cattle prod up! We don’t want to kill the horse!,” Zelas added. “ Just tie it up and hold him for ransom until the Horseman does exactly what I say for a week and apologizes for throwing me out the balcony window.” Xellos pouted, but put the cattle prod up and pulled out some rope. “ What are you guys doin’?,” Nathalie asked as she hopped out of her car. “ Stupid human at three o’clock!,” Deep Sea whispered. “ Can I use the cattle prod now?,” Xellos asked. “ I saw the others at the mall!,” Nathalie grinned. “ They’re on their way home too! I accidentally ran a stop sign and hit Sas though…she’s kind of mad. So, whatcha doin?” “ Just looking for something, that’s all,” Deep Sea grinned. “ Why don’t you go upstairs, and when Sas and the other’s get back, you just tell them you haven’t seen us since this morning, okay?” “ Sure!,” Nathalie said and bounded upstairs. “ Are you sure we can’t kill her?,” Gaav asked. “ I agree with Gaav…give me that cattle prod, Xellos,” Dynast said, and Deep Sea slammed her net over his head. “ Bad Dynast! Bad!,” Deep Sea scolded before letting him go and stalking off calling, “ Here horsy!” The others sighed and began to search for Daredevil. Xellos grinned and climbed up a near by tree and pulled out some binoculars. Soon… “ Are you sure you don’t want me to decapitate her, Sas?,” the Horseman asked. “ Or for me to use one of my soul orbs?,” Phibrizio asked. “ Or for me just to fireball her to oblivion?,” Valgarv asked. “ No!,” Sas said. “ You’re not killing her.” “ Get over it, guys,” Viv rolled her eyes. “ She almost killed us!!!!,” Phibrizio whined. “ You three wouldn’t have died…and you know it! The Horseman is already dead!,” Viv said. “ Why did Xellos just fall out of that tree and why is he in full military camouflage?,” Sas asked suddenly. The other three looked up to see Xellos reclimbing the tree. “ Xellos! What are you doing?,” Viv asked as she and the others walked up. “ Sore wa himitsu desu!,” he said as he took a seat on a higher branch and began to look over the campus with his binoculars again. “ Xellos!,” Viv growled. “ Oh my,” Xellos gulped and jumped out of the tree. Just as he landed, Zelas, Deep Sea, Gaav, and Dynast came charging around the corner, screaming bloody murder. “ Bad horsy!!!,” Deep Sea howled. The girls were still in their ‘safari gear’. “ Excuse me,” Xellos said and began to run too. The four Dark Lords charged after him. “ What’s going on?,” Phibrizio asked. “ Oh boy,” Val sighed and pointed. Daredevil came barreling around the same corner the Lords had come from, and he looked mad. With a screaming neigh, the horse sped after Xellos and the other four Dark Lords. “ I bet they were trying to catch Daredevil,” the Horseman said. Then he burst out into laughter. “ Them, catch my horse…yeah, right!!!” Sas, Val, and Viv all sweat dropped. “ I need a vacation!!!,” Sas said and began to cry. “ Why don’t you come back with us?,” Viv asked. “ My house should be back by tomorrow.” Sas sniffled. “ Okay. Thanks, Viv-chan.” “ Long, long, long week,” Val sighed as he followed the girls and Phibrizio upstairs. The Horseman leaned up against the tree and laughed as he watched the four Mazoku run from Daredevil. The next morning… “ Are you SURE you want to leave Sas?,” Nathalie asked for about the three hundredth time. “ Yes,” Sas said through clenched teeth as she threw the last of her things in the back of her car. “ I’m going to miss you SO much!,” Nathalie said and grabbed Sas in a bear hug. “ Don’t worry…a friend of mine is moving in with you,” Sas said. “ You’re inflicting Nathalie upon a friend?,” the Horseman asked with a raised eyebrow. “ Are you sure it isn’t an enemy you have moving in?” “ It’s a friend. She’ll be able to handle Nathalie,” Sas said. “ Hey Sasinak! Skipping out before I even got here, huh?,” a perky voice called from across the parking lot. “ About time you got here, Kitsunemimi,” Sas called and waved. “ Kit!,” Viv yelled as she came out of the dorm. “ What are you doing here?” “ I’m taking over for Sas since she’s going on ‘vacation’,” Kit laughed. Kitsunemimi was, as her name implied, a kitsune. She was fairly tall and had bronze-brown hair that was pulled back in a ponytail. She had cute fox ears, and three very fluffy foxtails. She was in shorts, and had on a kimono like shirt on. “ You’re taking over for Sas?,” Val asked. “ Hai. You must be Valgarv,” Kit grinned. “ Well, have fun Sas.” “ Kit…I could use a hand with theses boxes,” a male voice half yelled half whined from the direction Kit had come from. “ Okita! You can handle it,” Kit called back. “ Well, have fun on your ‘vacation’ Sas. Everything is in good hands!” “ I’m sure it is,” Sas grinned and gave Kitsunemimi a hug before hopping in to her car. “ Back to Viv’s then?,” Gaav asked. “ Of course,” Phibrizio said. “ This time, don’t blow it up, Val!,” Viv said and glared at her older brother. “ Heh…I told you it was an accident,” Val mumbled as Sas drove up. “ Well, they’re gone,” Okita said as he walked up. He to was a kitsune, but was a few inches shorter then Kit. His black hair was pulled into a high ponytail that fell to his shoulders, and his fox ears were tipped in white. Like Kit, he had three tails. Okita was dressed in long pants and a blue kimono jacket with white triangles along the sleeve edges and bottom him. “ Yep. Go get the rest of the boxes while I go check out the apartment and this so called ‘roommate of doom’ okay?,” Kit said as she bounded up the stairs. Okita simply sighed and headed back towards Kit’s car. As Kitsunemimi entered the apartment, she heard a huge bang from the kitchen. “ Opps!,” Nathalie yelled. Kit heard a rumbling and looked up just in time to see the apartment roof come falling down. “ Oh dear…what have I gotten myself into now?,” Kit asked as the apartment literally fell down around her. The end… (Next time we’ll be back at Viv’s!)
