FIRE IN THE SECOND ROW! THIS WHOLE PLACE IS A POWDER KEG!

Klaxons blared as whirling white lights spiraled frantically across the room. The deafening noise beat upon any unfortunate eardrum who stood within a meter's radius of the deafening alarm.

Kyon here, substituting for Kit.

You've got to hand it to whoever came up with the idea of fire alarms. I mean think about it. A handy way to cause a distraction, an efficient way of dealing with emergencies, and a good helping of American trust by placing the alarms where any two-bit terrorist could get at them, even if only to screw them up.

Fire alarms are tools in the hands of the wise, and weapons in the hands of the genius. Okay, I know that sounded a bit too happy-bunny for most people's tastes, but you have to admit, they make a formidable tool/weapon in any (wo)man's purse/toolbox.

In the case of Kit, however, there are no instant fire alarms that he can quickly pull and cause a distraction. Instead, he is forced to use basic ninja tricks of misdirection, including, but not limited to: smoke bombs, ninja stars, logs, animals, and giant stuffed animals.

In any case, fire alarms are cool weapons we are gifted with in this modern day and time. Yay.
