And here is the first drabble for me and Naru's series of them~ I came up with the idea for this one and it sure was fun to roleplay lol XD Ene is...well, she's almost too easy for me since she's so cheerful and bubbly, but since she's also Takane, I think even she can have some of her..."moments"
Anyways, enjoy! Remember, Kagerou Days belongs to Jin!
When ever the heat outside got so hot that you could fry an egg on the sidewalk, the Dan would decide that instead of hanging around the city, they would lunge at home to try and stay cool. Today was no different from one of those days, but since the air cooler broke, the base itself felt like a boiling oven. Everyone was feeling the heat and no one was in a good mood because of it...all except the android, Konoha, sitting on the couch with the others, and of course, Ene, living inside of Shintaro's phone for the day.
"Come on, Master, cheer up~ At least have a glass of water to keep you hydrated!" Ene piped up as she watched Shintaro through the screen of his phone, giggling at him.. Momo groaned from where she was lying on the floor, a magazine held over her face. Kido was sitting up against the wall, both of her hoodies off so she was left in her tanktop. Poor Mary was sweating like a horse with her long, creamy-white hair taking in so much heat.
"Too hot...don't wanna move..." Shintaro answers from the couch, his arm over his eyes as he groans.
Hibiya slid off the couch and laid on the floor, "Way to hot..."
"It's not hot," Konoha mutters and gets a couple glares, which make him jump a little.
"Kiddddoo...someone needs to brace the heat and go buy a few fans" Kano whines; Seto wasn't looking any better. All of them (minus Konoha) where stripped to their under shirts, refusing to even touch their usual attire.
Momo groaned from the floor. Mary whined from where she was sitting next to Seto, trying to keep her hair away from her as much as she could since sweaty, hot hair melt a hell lot of tangles later on. "There's no way in hell we're stepping out there, Kano," Kido grumbled in response to the blonde as she wiped some sweat away from her forehead with the back of her hand. "God..."
"You guys are such babies!" Ene pouted, crossing her arms as she looked around at everyone in the room. "I mean, really, this is why you should look up the weather report! Master didn't even leave enough water for the rabbit," she added.
Momo grabbed the magazine and slowly dragged it down her face, her eyes sliding over to look at her brother. "If Mom finds a dead rabbit in your room, I'm not going to take the blame..."
Hibiya fell over and let out a groan, "Ah...we lost the kid..." Kano mutters and pokes the boy with his finger.
"We're not too far behind him..." Shintaro whines and glances at Momo before answering her statement, "The rabbit will be fine...need to worry about myself right now..."
Mary peeked a glance at Seto worriedly. Momo sat up straight and closing up the magazine, starting waving it over Hibiya's face to help cool him down at least so he could get some of his strength back.
Ene rolled her eyes at Shintaro. "Pah, that's jjjuuusssttttt like you, only caring about yourself," she grumbled under her breath as she added, "I still don't understand what Ayano-san saw in you..."
...
It took a minute to register what she said, but once it did, he grabbed at his phone and looked at her, "What did you say?" he asks, forgetting about the heat that seconds ago threatened to kill him. Everyone else looked over at Shintaro, surprised by how quickly he was able to move just now.
Ene gulped, looking nervous as she stammered, "N-Nothing! W-What a-are y-you t-talking a-about, M-M-M-Master?" she asked, a fake smile on her smile to hide her nervousness.
"I need to talk to you in private" Shintaro says to her and rushes to the bathroom, slamming the door. "How do you know Ayano...how did you know how I USED to act like?" he asks her, clearly upset over this.
The bathroom? Really?, Ene thought dully. "Eerr...I looked up your old pictures on the computer and your mother posts some stuff on Facebook," she quickly lied, sitting down on a browser that was opened.
"That's a lie," Shintaro coldly says and puts the phone down on the counter, You're lying to me...nothing about her was on there...no one SAID anything about her!" Ene gulped.
Oh crap, she thought, sweat dripping down the side of her face. She didn't even know she could still sweat, but there were some things about her digital body she didn't know about yet.
"Tell me...tell me the truth," Shintaro asks Ene. It had been a long time since she heard him this upset, and this time, it was her fault for it.
Ene stared at Shintaro before saying in a flat voice with a serious look on her face, "If I told you...how would you believe me?" she asked, crossing her arms. "You'll faint worse then...then someone I know if I told you and you'll hit your head on the toilet seat," Snickering was heard outside of the bathroom door. The others must be listening in since this was their first source of entertainment all day.
"TELL ME!" he snaps and grabs the phone again; she was keeping something from him, he knew it and he didn't like her lying. Ene jumped, letting out a yelp as she fell backwards and landed behind the browser so she was out of side.
"Ow, geez!" she sat back up, rubbing her head with one hand as she gave Shintaro a glare. "I'm regretting that damn promise I made to you when you beat me at the school festival!" as soon as those words were said, Ene wanted to snatch them back and shove them into her mouth, but what was heard was already heard.
"No way...that's not possible..." Shintaro mutters; he was shocked. There was only one person he had met at the festival that he that had made a promise to him, and everything made so much sense now about her.
"Crap," Ene slowly started to slide down until she could barely see over the browser. He knew...he knew and holy crap, she was going to get deleted this time for it. Shintaro put the phone down again and covered his eyes with his hands, a second later she could hear sobbing coming from him, or at least she thought it was sobbing since Shintaro didn't cry often. Ene pulled herself over the browser, crossing her arms as she supported her weight on the browser with them. "...Shintaro?" she said, her voice quiet and soft as much as her blue eyes were.
"I'm so happy...but...I'm crying...god it hurts," he says as he rubs his arm over his eyes. "Why can't I stop crying?" he asks. He was glad she was okay in a way, that she wasn't dead for good; one of his friends from the past really lived.
"EH?!" Ene looked confused, staring up at Shintaro. "What?!" how was he happy when she had been 'dead' for two years by Shintaro's thoughts and she let him believe that?! "You're more dense then Haruka was!" she pouted, floating over the browser and sat back down on it.
"No..you don't understand how happy I am...to know that in some way...you're here..." Shintaro says and puts his fingers on the phone screen, "Call me what you want...but...it's good to know that I didn't lose you all." Ene blinked before a tiny smile lifted the corners of her mouth.
"Heh...I guess so," she chuckled. Her expression faded into a sad one and she glanced down. "...But he doesn't remember," she mumbled.
Shintaro looked over at her with a confused look and picked his phone up properly, "who doesn't remember?" If Shintaro knew the truth about her now, Ene thought it was best that he also knew about Konoha. "Haruka...he's alive too...but...he doesn't remember who he is," she explained, holding her arms around her knees as she looked up at Shintaro. "Konoha...is Haruka,"
"What?!" came from the other side of the bathroom door.
Konoha looked at everyone in confusion since they were looking at him. "What?"
"...This is too much to take..." Shintaro mutters and leans against the counter.
"I asked you if you wanted to know the truth and you yelled at me for it," Ene said, raising an eyebrow. "Honestly, Master, do you ever think?"
"Oh shut up" he growls and runs a hand through his hair, Haruka was really Konoha, that was almost unbelievable to him. Ene repeated Shintaro's words in a false voice impression of him, sticking out her tongue. "Ene!" Shintaro snaps, he didn't like her attitude at all, "Just be quiet and let me process all of this..."
Ene rolled her eyes as she turned her back on Shintaro, crossing her legs. She sighed, her shoulders slumping as she looked down at the endless, white data that didn't have a bottom under her and the browser she sat on. She ached for human contact, having nothing but data touch her for over two years. Not like it mattered anyways.
Shintaro quieted down and sighed, "I'm sorry.." he mutters and picks the phone up and goes for the door.
"You don't have to be," Ene said, looking over her shoulder as she noticed how the tear lines stuck out so clearly on Shintaro's pale skin. "I should be..." she let out a weak chuckle as she said, "I mean, I let you think I was DEAD for two years..." her voice faded away and the blue-haired girl looked down.
"I suffered so much when you three died...it was painful...so painful that i even contemplated on joining you all..." Shintaro admits, remembering the red scissors he always had on his desk for those two years.
Ene felt guilt stab her heart worse then the time she saw Haruka sitting in his chair, head hanging low, void of any movement and she floated over to where the glass of the screen met the digital world she lived in. She put her hand against the screen, feeling the cold glass against her pale hand. "Shintaro..." she muttered softly. A smile brought up the corners of her face and through tears in her eyes, said, "I'm glad you didn't. You made me being a virus liveable.
"..." he couldn't help, but smile back at her and put his fingers to the screen where her hand was, "It's funny...how you can stick by me after I tried to delete you all those times," he says and sits down on the closed toilet.
Ene sweatdropped. "It's not like I had a choice," she said. "You were the only one I knew that had a computer...and that," one of Ene's famous, dark, sinister smiles painted onto her face, "I have all of your 'special moments' files~" she purred as she held it up from behind her back. "If only Ayano knew you had this side~" she laughed.
"i'll throw the phone!" Shintaro snaps with a slight blush on his face, she just had to mention it didn't she. Ene fell backwards, holding her gut as she laughed hard. "You should see your face!" she howled in laughter, tears streaming down her face.
"So much for having a moment," He growls and shoves his phone into his pocket and walks over to the bathroom door and exits it, a unhappy look on his face as he exits. The others were back in their normal spots like they've never been listening in on Shintaro and Ene's conversation. The only dead give away was Momo holding a different magazine she used to blow cool air onto Hibiya's face.
"Hey! Let me out! Master!" Ene yelled from Shintaro's phone. "It's dark in here!"
"Suffer the punishment!" Shintaro speaks up and goes over to the couch and sits down. "...Well...let's not go through that again," he mutters and refuses to look at everyone.
Momo looked over at Shintaro before turning to look at Konoha. She remembered seeing her brother's friends briefly, but now looking back...she could see how Konoha looked like Haruka in someways.
Ene huffed, crossing her arms. "See what I mean? Always thinking about yourself...good grief, I don't know why I put up with you and Haruka!"
Not being able to put up with her talk anymore, he pulled his phone out and looked over at Konoha. "Hey...catch" he says, before tossing the phone to the big guy. Konoha barely managed to grap the phone, but managed to hold onto it.
Ene's face burned when she saw Konoha. "H-Hey," she stammered, waving hello to him sheepishly. Damn you Shintaro!, she thought as she looked at the white-haired android. Thank god that only Ayano knew her secret back then when she was still human and not Shintaro!
"You're cruel," Momo told Shintaro with a slight pout. She quickly went back to fanning Hibiya before ruffling up his hair with a snicker.
"Don't touch me...auntie..." Hibiya whines and pushes her hand away.
"...She deserved it," Shintaro mutters and leans back against the couch. Konoha looked down at Ene before looking up at everyone without saying a word.
"I'm not an auntie!" Momo protested, grabbing Hibiya now and really started to play with his hair just to get on the twelve year old's nerves.
Kido rolled her eyes before sighing as she stood up. "Alright, this heat has got to stop," she grumbled. "Kano, you're coming with me to get some fans," she told the blonde. Before he could whine about it, the green-haired girl added in a sharper voice, "It was YOUR idea earlier,"
"Leave me be!" Hibiya cries out and tries to get away from her.
Kano sighed and got up, "I know..I know..." he mutters and walks towards the door.
"Seto, make sure everyone else doesn't die from heat exhaustion," Kido told the black-haired male as she walked over to the door with Kano. "And PLEASE make sure that Konoha doesn't eat all of the ice again," she grumbled in annoyance. If he did, that would be the third time this week the android did that.
Ene blinked before snapping a picture of Konoha with Shintaro's phone. She held the picture in her hands before taking out another picture and put the two of them together, side by side.
Ene smiled as she looked at the picture of Konoha in her hands and then the other picture of a dark brown, almost black haired male with male skin, a mole on his face that was almost hidden, and black eyes that went straight into Ene's heart and made it beat hard against her rib cage. Haruka may no longer be himself, but with Konoha around, she felt that her cheerful friend was smiling at her, pencil in hand as he worked on another picture in that sketchbook of his. She giggled, holding the pictures to her chest. Thank you, Master, for my second chance.
Ene: You're so dense, Shintaro...I'm surprised you didn't find out sooner!
Shintaro: Oh yes...I so can tell you're Takane, you're cheeky and bubbly when Takane was like a cat pretending to be threatening and don't deny it...you were nicer around Haruka
Ene:*face burns* HE WASN'T EMOTIONLESS LIKE YOU!
Shintaro: You wanna be confined to the computer?!
True: Alright, that's enough you two XD Anything you wanna say, Naru?
Naru: No, not really...doesn't seem to be anything to be said
Alright then! I hope you guys enjoyed this drabble!
