"Thanks," Xing said, heading to the upstairs bathroom. He opened the door, and immediately closed it again as the bar of soap went flying at his head. "Sorry!"

Yukina sank in the tub,a bright red blush on her face."i-its ,um okay,w-what do you need?"

"The burn cream." Xing replied, his face and ears getting warm. Very warm. "Disaster hit the kitchen."

Abby blinked."I dont want to knwo ",she said and sighed getting out of the tub and quckly drying off,she through on her cean clothse and wnet to the door opening it she handed Xing the burn cream."h-here you go",she said softly then,sighed heading down stais to see what had happened to her kitchen.

"Thanks," Xing said, applying some of the cream.

Abby gave a smile."you welcome"

"So, now for the fun part of cleaning up this little mess." Elliot said. "Where d'you guys keep the mop?"

Abby sighed as she walked down stairs and saw the kitchen ."i'll go get it"

"Thanks," Elliot said.

"Do yourself a favor; don't melt the butter first." Nala said. "That way it won't end up all over the floor."

Abbysoon returned with mop and broom."here wego"

"Thanks," Elliot said as Xing came back into the kitchen. "I'll clean it up. It's kinda my mess anyway...."

Abby smiled."its okay I can do it..."

"Looks like Shiki's done playing the slippery floor dance." Xing said.

Shiki smiled. "that i did"

Abby smiled and started to clean the mess on the floor.

Elliot made her way back to the melting chocolate. "So......" She said. "What's a day usually like here?"

Abby looked to her."dull,relaxing ,the odd time interesting"

"Like that scream from upstairs?" Elliot said. Xing froze, though Elliot didn't see it. "What happened?"

Yukina had also froze and kept her eyes to the floor."oh um,the perverted spirit showed himself again,when i was in the bath tub, but he left before i could send him to the underworld",she said calmly. That was a good excuse.

"...Oh. Sounds like someone I need to look out for, then." Elliot replied.

Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Thank you, Abby. He thought. At least I didn't see anything...other than the bar of soap aimed at my head.

Abby nodded and glanced at Xing smile a little.

Xing smiled a little in return. "Sooo....you gonna finish that modified pocky?" He asked Elliot.

Shiki grined." yeah it was smelling great!"

Abby nodded in agrence.

"I'm waiting for the chocolate to melt." Elliot replied.

Abby smiled." I'll go put the mop and broom away",she said and headed out of the kitchen.

Elliot sniffed. "Uh, Xing, your grilled cheese is burning." She said.


"Agh!" Xing yelped. "Aw, man...."
