40Jessica: It's been so long! I'm so sorry! Wow, last chappy was weird...
Rath: Uh, do I have to say the disclaimer?
Jessica: (gets evil glint in eye) Well, I was gonna make Thatz say it, but now that you said that, yeah, you have to say the declaimer.
Thatz: Boo-ya! (stops and stares at Rath) Oh, sorry buddy.
Rath: (glares at Thatz) Yeah, right.
Rune: (big sigh) Jessica does not own mmpphhh!
Jessica: Don't; Rath has to say it, not you!
Rune: mhm…
Rath: J-Jessica does not own Dragon Knights! T-There!
Jessica: Darn, now we have to start the fic... (pouts)

Chapter Three: Interlude with Cookies
XoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooX
Giggling... who was... laughing at him? Rath cracked one eye open, and came face to face with the castle's green-haired menace. He groaned, turning his face away as the cookie breath hit him. "...Whazzit? G'way"
"I didn't know you sleep-walked, Rathy-kun!"
Rath blinked. "I don't... I... WAAAAAH!"
There was a moment of silence. Rath groaned, wondering if various parts of his body would ever move again, after falling off the bed. Rune's bed. Oops.
Thatz promptly cracked up, dropping his bag of cookies on the Fire Knight's head. Rath promptly said an NC17-rated word.
"Is everyone okay? What's going on?"
Thatz stared owlishly at Rune for a moment, before laughing even harder. He fell to the floor amongst the cookies, and it occurred to Rath that he must never have been happier.
"Out!" the black-haired boy yelled, but he was grinning.
Rune blinked down at his koi. "...Why are you on the floor?"
Rath laughed, crawling back up. "Thatz woke me up," he said, as if that explained everything.
For someone who had been around the thief as long as Rune, it did. He blanched. "Oh no! Are you okay?!"
Rath picked a piece of cookie out of his hair, and examined it. And ate it. "Yum. Never been better." He caught Rune's thoroughly disgusted look, and sweatdropped. "You are such a girl."
Rune tickled Rath, grinning evilly. "No I'm not! Look at yourself! You're like a chibi!"
Rath giggled uncontrollably, before managing to get ahold of himself enough to tickle back. "Am not! You've got girly hair!"
Rune abruptly lean up and kissed him. All tickling wars were forgotten. "Yeah, but that's why you like me."
Rath smile. "And vice versa." Then he rolled off Rune and curled up by his side again, sighing contentedly. He knew he shouldn't. He knew Thatz would really start to get suspicious if he caught them again. And he knew he had to kill Bierrez. But all that could wait; he had more important things to attend to, just for a little while...
XoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooX
Jessica: Like I said, short.
Shiro Ryuu, once known as Kurayami Ryuu: Yeah, all you get is this, while I've been booted it's been so long since she's updated!
Jessica: Grr...
K-Shiro: But don't worry, the next chapter will be longer.
Jessica: (mutter)
Shiro: If she can just remember where the heck she was going with this story, that is...
Jessica: (steals keyboard from Shiro, and bonks) Nyen. It might have been short, but it was cute! Right?
Shiro: Okay, so yeah, I gotta admit that.
Jessica: (grin) R&R!
