Summary: Flailing, mostly.



Kenshin was frying an egg on the stove when Edward tore around the corner into the kitchen, hop-skidded on one leg and flung himself out the door into the yard. Kenshin watched as Kennichi leaped through the door on all four legs, furry and growling and shouting all at the same time, "MOTHERFUCKER GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE I'M GOING TO FILLET THE FLESH FROM YOUR GOOD LEG-" before vanishing out the side door behind Edward. Curious but not inclined to get involved - Kennichi when pissed didn't always remember to keep his teeth to himself and Kenshin was fond of not turning furry based upon the whims of the lunar cycle - Kenshin watched from the window as Kennichi treed Edward.

He dished his food, rinsed the skillet out and dodged around Takeo, who obviously had been woken by the commotion. "What the hell was that all about?"

"Edward did something to Kennichi," Kenshin said with a shrug, vanishing into the dining room.

Nick was seated in the dining room, cocked back in a table chair with his feet on the table itself, playing a hand held video game. Kenshin sat across from him, poked at Nick's sock-covered feet with his fork so he dropped them from the table. "Mornin," Nick said absently, more interested in his video game.

There was a loud crash from outside and what sounded like a large dog whimpering, then Kennichi stomped back through the kitchen, naked and covered in mud. Kenshin raised an eyebrow at the leaves and sticks that trailed behind his descendant but didn't say a word. "Sariel's in the shower," Nick called without even looking up from his game.

"Not for long!" Kennichi called back, storming up the stairs.

There was another thud from the stairs, and one of the new inhabitants - the Ed that made Kenshin slightly nervous - swore as he bounced off the wall opposite the stairs, having obviously jumped to avoid Kennichi. "This house is TOO DAMN SMALL!" he roared, and then disappeared in the vicinity of the living room.

Kenshin rubbed his forehead, poking at his fried egg with his fork. "He's got a point," Nick said philosophically, still not looking up. "It's getting kinda crowded here."

"What do you want me to do, evict people?" Kenshin asked.

"Well, we could always build an addition or something. Maybe a second house to stuff everyone who's getting laid so the rest of us can sleep at night." Nick glanced up at Kenshin, eyebrow raised.

"Oh, come off it," Kenshin scoffed. "You'd be moved in there as well, how many people here AREN'T getting laid?"

"Kennichi," Nick said, ticking off his fingers. "The creepy samurai that lives in the dojo. Kage. That pair of brothers who hangs around who aren't actually related to me. Hitsugaya."

Kenshin sighed. "I don't even want to know how you know all that."

"Soujiro," Nick continued. "I think Yuukito, but I'm not sure." He paused. "Maybe we should just kick THEM out."

Rolling his eyes, Kenshin stood up and took his plate into the kitchen, where he nearly tripped over Kiba with his nose in the garbage can. "Gih," Kenshin said, dumping his plate in the sink. Edward was still sitting in the tree outside, more sprawled across the branch and taking a nap. Kenshin rolled his eyes and headed down to the den, where Soujiro was sitting with a sopping Sariel, with Samael and Castiel seated on the couch and conversing in low tones. He fetched his laundry from the dryer and was stunned to realize Nick was right - they DID need more room.

This would require some thought. But first, laundry.
