Leviathan

"You pervert!"

"Hee hee hee!!!"

A figure clad in the traditional, 'peeping' gear screeched his way around the corner, full bag perched on his shoulder. With a spring in his step and lust in his eyes he giggled like a crazed schoolgirl all the while chanting: panties... wonderful panties...' Chuckling with glee he could barely control the excitement in his bones. He thought to himself.

*Whap!!*

"Where do you think you're going, old man?" A foot, clamped on the little mans head.

"Oh, erm...Jaf...heh heh Hello..." Sweat drops appeared on the side of his face.

"Happosai! I told you to stop stealing the panties off the female guests of the kingdom!!"

The perverted little man got a lecherous glint in his eye. To return to the kingdom, for his weekly 'panty raid' only to be thwarted In his desperate hour. He needed a plan, and A good one. "No need to get upset, m'boy." He grinned mischievously. "We can share!! There's more than enough here for everyone!! Heh, in fact... Literary Eagle has a whole cupboard full of lacy----Aaaaaargh!!"

The old mans yells could be heard as Jaf booted him out through the roof. Jaf sighed and rubbed his temples. This was going to be a long day, Richard was missing-- Kitz's party hadn't been heard of... in ages. He debated sending another party after them...except he recalled Lesell's party had also not been heard from. Being such an omnipotent God really had its downfalls sometimes. Feh, he grinned. He thought to himself, as he reached inside the panty filled bag. He started chuckling madly, then his hand met a foreign object. Pulling it out he examined it.

"Hmmm." He said quizzically, while examining the strange bracelet. It was small, ornamental and very pretty. "It must be a medicine bracelet," He concluded aloud upon noticing the three aspirin like pills located on the side. "Wonder where the old fool stole this from..." he wondered. In any case he needed an aspirin right now. He pulled one of the pills out and swallowed it. "Blech...worse tasting aspirin I ever ate..."

-------------------

Sitting on the roof, sulking because of his detachment from his treasure trove of women's goodies, sat Happosai.

"Stupid kingdom....never let me have any fun." He brooded, stamping his foot. "Boo hoo hoo...all those wonderful pantie--eh!?" Eyes wide he stared at his arm the shock apparent on his face. "Where is it!?... Oh no! I lost it!" He wailed, "My love bracelet!!! The one containing the 3 love pills!!!" He recalled the legend of the love bracelet. It contained 3 love pills, which, when ingested would make the ingestee fall in love with the first person they saw. The first pill had an instant effect and would wear off quickly, the second had a day effect ... and the third ... that lasted, *forever*. Now he had lost it! This was a tragedy! Now *none* of the women in the kingdom would fall in love with him!

*Ding-dong*

Jaf looked up from the bag of panties. This was odd...that almost sound like--

*Ding Dong* He scratched his head. "Heck, I didn't even know we had a doorbell..." He sighed, getting up. He thought to himself. "I'll get it!" he screamed through the archway at the lackadaisical members of the kingdom, who seemed to be watching some odd show with Angels and Eva's.

"Say what?" Shouted Nathan, mildly interested.

"D'you say somethin' Jaf?" Nekobus asked.

Jaf rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Nevermind..." The sharp pangs of his headache became apparent again and he briefly wondered when that stupid aspirin would be taking effect. He walked into the main entrance and up to the portcullis. His hand rested on the door when suddenly--

"WHAT!? Whats this!?" A screech erupted behind him. "Whats this on the message board? Mihoshi a bimbo!?" Crikit said, annoyance in her voice. "Mihoshi isn't a bimbo!" She pleaded. "How could you confuse her with a bimbo instead of a ditz" she said flatly.

"Hey!" Jaf spat, temper flaring up. He didn't need this right now. "I think Mihoshi *is* a bimbo!" He snapped and time seemed to freeze as he turned to look at her face when--

*Ding-Dong*

"Isn't someone going to get that?" Nekobus asked, from the other room. "Geeeez."

Jaf turned towards the door and yanked it open with more force than any man could possibly muster. "WHAT!!!!!?" He screamed at the poor soul cowering at the doorway.

"M-m-m-y name is Leviathan...." He trembled. "I w-w-wanted to join the kingdom... because. " He stepped backwards as he surveyed Jaf's expression and initial fear turned to total and utter dread.

"Leviathan...." Jaf whispered the name, and gazed at the bewildered man. "What a very beautiful name." He ascertained, love shining in his eyes.

"Thanks...I-I-I-think."

"Oh you're so very welcome...." Jaf smiled happily and suddenly jumped forward and hugged the newcomer.

"Urk!" Leviathan reeled from the shock. He had heard the kingdom's Inhabitants were weird but this--

"I always thought Jaf was kinda.... strange." Nathan commented, appearing at the doorway, shaking his head.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that." Nekobus stated, peering from the doorway.

"Of course..."

"Take me away--Leviathan take me with you now..." Jaf said, eyes shining. "We can be together, forever..."

"Urk!" Sweatdrops loomed on his head. 'Erm.... I'm not THAT type of guy...!"

"My Love bracelet! You have it!" Happi dropped out of the sky and 'thwapped' Jaf on the head. Grabbing the bracelet he looked at it. "No fair, you used one!" He examined the bracelet more closely. "Aww and it was the permanent effect love pill too...." He started to cry softly his dreams of true love shattered, when his head was met but a high-heeled boot.

"A love pill!?" Crikit grabbed the old man. "Are you saying what I think you're saying!? And its *permanent*!?"

"Do you believe in Love at first sight?" Jaf asked Leviathan, snuggling up to him.

"Aaaargh!!" Leviathan screamed "Fine okay--If you don't want me to join that's fine--but you don't have to do *this* to put me off!!!" He yelled pushing Jaf off.

"But I love you!!" Jaf said, dejectedly.

"WHAT!!!??" Sweatdrops loomed all around.

Jaf gazed on with love in his eyes.

"You better undo this you little lech!!" Crikit yelled, shaking Happi.

"Oh no sorry," Happi said, trying to talk. "He used the instantaneous effect pill...my mistake." Happi said, and was met by the heels of many boots.

Jaf blinked suddenly, eyes wide--spell broken. He blushed a deep red and made his way further on, away from the others--who were now beating Happosai. Meanwhile Leviathan looked skeptically at Jaf, and then whispered to Nathan;

"That was a joke right? right? Is that guy crazy or somethin'? Or was that a test? Did I pass the test? Am I a member!?"

"Sure you can join if you want...oh and yeah, that guy is definitely crazy."

Jaf pursed his lips and looked upwards, anger flashing in his eyes. "All I wanted was a little action!!" He screamed to the sky, clenching his fists. "That's all!! A couple of lines, maybe a cameo!" He pleaded aloud. "Was it wrong to ask for that?" He frowned, contemplating. "What vengeful Goddess has done this to me!?" He sobbed, tears running down his face at his humiliation.

On the other side of the land near the outskirts of Lemonwood forest a party trekked through the woods. Suddenly, the Priestess, Lesell Charis stopped abruptly.

"Aaaaaa-cho!"
