    <span style="font-weight:400">"I need to get something to eat." Cadmus yawned as he headed for Keith''s ind. Behind him was Sohma.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you have to be so reliant on the child?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course!" Cadmus answered with the utmost confidence.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." At this point, Sohma wanted to give up. Nothing he would say would change this situation. This guy would go to Keith for the rest of his life. As they got close to the mansion, Cadmus''s ears twitched.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm, that''s odd." "What''s the matter?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t hear them swinging their weapons." Usually, he could hear Herrick and the others practicing outside. However, he couldn''t hear anything. That was odd, especially since it was Herrick and Melor.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Where are they?" Now that they entered the lobby, it was strange. If they weren''t in the backyard, they should be here. Yet, they were not? As they got close to the dining room,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh, is something the matter?" Sohma noticed it. Sweat. Cadmus was actually sweating!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, god no!" Cadmus didn''t even hesitate to hide behind the stairs. Sohma''s eyes widened, "What is wrong with you?!" Because he was freaking out so much, he realized it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Is something going on in the dining room?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If you don''t want to die, don''t look inside," Cadmus warned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Sohma looked at the dining room and then back to Cadmus. Couldn''t be, right? Curiosity killed the cat. Sohma peeked into the room; he understood. What he saw was a bloodbath. Well, what was about to be a bloodbath!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone was kneeling while Keith stared down at them with a smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What happened?! Sohma needed some answers.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Diana, Aidiun, where are you guys?!" Cadmus whispered. Out came Aidiun, Nephele, and Diana. The three were hiding as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys were hiding?" Sohma questioned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes." Aidiun nodded his head with the utmost certainty. It was like there was nothing wrong with what he was doing.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What happened?" How could Keith be so mad? What did everyone do to make this guy so dangerously scary?! His default emotion was happy!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Go to the kitchen to find out."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" The two were out of the loop. When they entered the kitchen, they got the answer they wanted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Have these kids gone mad?!" Sohma retorted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But for Keith to be this mad," Diana muttered. This was a surprise; never had she seen Keith this mad.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Exin to us," Aidiun turned to Cadmus and Sohma. Those two knew Keith longer than them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That kid may act kind and unserious. However, he does keep some things in check. The kitchen is one of them." Cadmus sighed. A few things set off Keith; the kitchen was one of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Everyone could go in and out of it. However, leaving it a mess was asking for trouble.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t want to remember that," Sohma groaned as he remembered something horrible.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!" Warning. That was a clear warning sign going through the other three''s heads. It didn''t matter whether or not Cadmus was scared or not. However, Sohma was an entirely different matter! The level-headed guy would never disy much emotion.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That goes to show how dangerous the situation the others were in was!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Is he going to end them? That''s what the question going through everyone''s mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go watch," Nephele suggested as she grabbed Diana.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes. I''m worried about those kids." Diana nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hey, guys?" "Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you guys pushing me?" Cadmus retorted. Everyone was hiding behind him!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Because you''re the strongest out of all of us," Aidiun answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t want to be used as a meat shield!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Cadmus, you literally can take anything Keith throws at you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s not the point! He''s scary when he''s like that! I criedst time!" Heck, I want to leave now! Just looking at the dining room now, he could feel the intensity.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry, we''ll back you up."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then don''t use me as a shield!" He knew they would run for it when Keith''s attention was directed at them. Despite all of his interjections, the three pushed Cadmus forward to be a human shield.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Cadmus turned to Sohma, asking for help.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You know Keith the longest."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You know him just as long as me!" Cadmus red.
