Left alone with my demented brain for two weeks has percolated this rather
goofy idea. The fic birthed is short and silly.

ON HOSPITALITY
By Wyrm

	"I am very, very disappointed in you both," Kasumi said, with a
slight frown on her face.

	Genma and Ryouga cringed. Kasumi with a frown, no matter how
slight, is a truly frightening sight.

	"I expect this sort of behavior from Shampoo and Mousse, since they
don't have to live here. But from you?" Kasumi let out a long sigh. "I
thought you would be more considerate, as you are both guests in this
household."

	Genma and Ryouga looked down, blushing furiously with
mortification. How could they have done that?! "We're sorry," Ryouga
squeaked, a resolution which Genma seconded.

	"'Sorry,' doesn't clean up your messes," Kasumi childed. She took a
deep breath and launched into a her speech, "It's bad enough just cleaning
up after Shampoo and Mousse. You'd think that they were raised in a barn.
Do you know how much effort I put into cleaning up after them? I shudder to
think about it. Do you know how many tatami mats I have to replace each
month because of those two? More than I care to count."

	By this time, Genma and Ryouga were looking quite small.

	"Now, everyone makes mistakes. Once is an accident. Twice is
carelessness. But nine times over the last week is nothing short of
inconsiderate," Kasumi scolded. "I'm not cleaning up any more of your
messes, Genma and Ryouga. This time, you clean up after yourselves. I hope
that this will be a lesson to you both."

	Kasumi presented them both with a broom and a pooper-scooper. The
two took the offered implements and went to work at the panda droppings and
pig dung that soiled the hallway floor.

	"And after you're done, we'll begin house-breaking you two," Kasumi
stated coldly as she watched the two clean up. Genma and Ryouga swallowed
hard.
