That never happens in the anime. =O I need to read the manga now. Maybe they'll have it in MangaOne. Do you know which chapter starts the Ancient Egypt arc by any chance?
Dang, that sucks. =/ And I honestly can't believe I read all of that. XD I usually tl;dl VMs that are waaaay shorter than yours. O.o But I'm just incredibly lazy.
Anyway, I know what a pain air mattresses can be. My cousin has them (and they're living with us. God, just shoot me, please) and they have to keep them inflated because they don't ever want to keep inflating them. XD
All of this talk reminds me, though. I wish I had a water bed. Those things are cool. XD Or at least a massage chair.
