Rui and Enmu's Life With the Upper Moons (but mostly Rui's)

Soda Mayhem

"Rui! Check this out!"

Enmu placed a big bottle of soda in front of Rui.

"What is it?" Rui asked.

"It's a bubbly drink that humans like called soda!" Enmu responded, "Wanna try some with me?"

Rui nodded and so they went to the kitchen to look for some cups. Once they grabbed their cups they poured the soda and clinked their glasses together before drinking.

"Human soda! I'm gonna drink it like a person!" Enmu shouted while raising his glass above his head and tilted it so that the soda could land in his mouth. Unfortunately for him, the soda went into his eyes instead.

"Ah, my eyes! My beautiful dreamy eyes!" Rui did not pay attention to Enmu's screams for he was too enchanted by the soda bubbles.

Rui brought the drink to his lips and took a small sip. It was very fizzy and it gave him some shivers, but Rui kinda liked it, so he took another sip of the beverage. A minute later, Rui finished his glass and was currently pouring himself another. Enmu left a while ago to wash his face so he didn't know what was going on right now. Half an hour passed, and Rui drank the entire soda.

"Hey Rui, sorry it took so long," Enmu said, "You would not believe who hard it was to get soda out of my eyes and- Rui? You good buddy?"

Rui was just sitting in his seat, vibrating intensely. He then jumped on the kitchen counter, kicked the empty soda bottle off, and ran away at immense speed, screaming at a high pitch as he did.

"Oh dear," Enmu mumbled, "This doesn't look good."

An Hour Later

The Infinity Palace was in shambles, all you could see were webs and scratch marks covering every single inch of the place.

Enmu, Akaza, Daki, and Gyutaro were the only survivors of Rui's insanity, all of the other moons have been captured and immobilized by the spider demon. The remaining four are currently hiding in a room, working on a plan to stop the soda-crazed spider.

"I say, we wack him in the face with a pillow to knock him out and we tie him up until he snaps out of it," Akaza suggested.

"How would we knock him out with a pillow?" Daki questioned.

"We could get one of those firm memory foam pillows," the third Upper Moon rationalized.

"Where would we even get a pillow like that? It's daytime outside, so we can't go to some random store or something," argued Gyutaro.

Daki thought for a moment and said, "Hey Enmu! Don't you have the ability to make people fall asleep?"

"Yeah, I do-oh! I get what you're saying!" Enmu immediately ripped off one of his hands and threw it out into the main halls to search for Rui.

A few minutes had passed and nothing much was happening until Enmu started screaming, "Sweet mother of sunshine! My hand!"

Daki looked concerned and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No! My hand feels like something ran it over, OUCH!" Enmu decided to take his hand back and reattached it to his arm stump.

"Well, that plan failed, now what?"

Suddenly, the doors to the room flung open and everyone screamed in terror. Rui zipped around the room, laughing when suddenly he started to slow down and crashed into the floor.

"Huh, he tired himself out," Gyutaro remarked.

"Daaww, he looks so peaceful," Daki cooed.

"Like a lil' baby," Enmu murmured in agreement.

Enmu took Rui to his room to rest while Akaza, Daki, and Gyutaro began cleaning up the palace and freeing the captured moons.

And here we learn the valuable lesson of never letting Rui have soda because he will turn absolutely bananas.
