OVA 1: Why you should never drink alcohol...
I burst into apartment 201 and threw my shoes aside. Flinging off my cloak, I lay down in front of the doorstep, becoming the greatest obstacle course in Hei's path. He however, seemed quite calm despite of the events and placed his feet carefully around the figure on the floor. I was still fuming about the mission we were given. How were we suppose to know that we had to chase a rabbit around the whole city just for something in its stomach? And the main thing was we weren't even allowed to kill it in the process. That meant no violence or use of weapons, which just made everything much much more harder. On the bright side, Yin had given all the directions to find it and I had managed to tail it using my black holes to teleport. Then everything went down hill. Every time Hei and I burst out of the black hole, the rabbit had bounded off somewhere else again. That left us sprinting after it and trying to duck out of public view, which I had to admit, was much harder than all the other missions so far. In the end, we rounded on it with Hei on the right, the rabbit in the middle, and I on the left. Finally, Hei shocked it gently so at least it wouldn't try to make ourselves chop our legs off.
We finally delivered it to Huang, who looked super irritated.
"What took you so long?!" He bellowed when he finally saw our hunched figures.
"The only reason this case ended up in your hands was because the Syndicate wanted it quickly!"
I really wanted to argue, tell him how much trouble we had went through to just for this one pet. But being too tired brought me ignoring what he had said and getting back to Misuzu as fast as possible.
"Hei, I'm hungry." I whined on the floor, waving my hands slightly like an over sized child.
"I'll make dinner." He replied gently. "10 minutes."
I picked myself up into a sitting position and nodded. Hei changed out of his mission outfit and then moved towards the kitchen. Sighing and picking up my cloak, I slid everything I didn't need under the floorboard and then moved towards my room. Grabbing some freshly washed clothes, I went to take a bath.
The boiling water felt refreshing on my skin, and I just stood there for quite a few minutes, just letting the water run over me. I applied some shampoo to my hair and enjoyed making my head look like Beethoven. Covering myself in bubbles, I then rinsed off the "cloud-like" glow around me feeling slightly sad. Finally, I dried myself and slid on my black button-ups accompanied by a black skirt. I had left the two buttons at the top of my shirt since it was just so hot.
I emerged from the bathroom with a wet towel draped over my hair. I sat down in the living room, leaning against the wall as I dried my hair. I saw Hei's blue jeans making their way towards the room I just exited from. To be honest, I couldn't be bothered to do anything now so I just sat there, staring into blank nothingness.
After what must have been like moments or so, Hei came out wearing his black tank top and a pair of black shorts. I could see his bare feet moving towards me from under the towel. He started to help me dry my hair, and I left everything to him, with me just sitting there and enjoying the feeling as his fingers danced about my head.
At last, we sat opposite each other at the table and stared at the delicious meal Hei had prepared.
"Ita daki masu."
We tucked in, taking a lot of helpings from each plate. It was so delicious that my stomach raged for more. Halfway during the meal, Hei got up and got two bottles filled with yellow foamy liquid.
"What's that?" I asked as I shoved in another mouthful.
"Something from the land lady. No idea what it is, but she was laughing when she gave it to me. Suppose its Apple Sidra."
I took it from him and sipped it a little. It tasted not very sodaish, in fact quite different. I didn't give much thought and carried on eating. Today, Hei had even cooked "Sesame oil Chicken", one of my favorites. I found myself taking bite after bite, sip after sip.
After a while, I started to feel a little dizzy and everything drifted in and out of place. My mind was doing a ballet dance around and around, making itself more confused than it already was. My body was heating up, rising to a temperature that caused my brain to commit mental shutdown.
I suppose I shouldn't take any responsibility for what happens next.
"Ying? Are you okay?" came Hei's voice, but Ying didn't seem to hear him. Hei stood up and approached the figure who slowly stood up as well, swaying gently.
"What's...happening? Where are the tissues?" She gave a very weak laugh. Hei looked at her puzzled, asking "What tissues?" Ying was about to answer, but then "Woo~ AHHHHH!"
She gave a small scream as she tumbled forwards, landing on top of a bewildered Hei. And just as fate had it, his face happened to be buried in her chest. Ying however didn't seem to notice. In fact, she reached forwards in order to get the tissues she was looking for. Hei tried to push her away and yet she wouldn't budge. Then, she lunged forwards, banging on Hei's nose hardly as she fell back to earth.
"Ying..." He tried to say, and his voice was muffled considering the thing that was blocking his face. She rolled over on to the floor beside Hei, staring with a faint grin on her face at the ceiling.
"The stars are so beautiful today." She said in a dazed state.
"Stars?" Hei asked. Yet again, Ying didn't answer. Instead, she turned to face Hei. And he couldn't help but noticing that some more of her buttons had given way so that some parts of a light pink bra was visible. He quickly turned away, not wanting to catch sight of perhaps something he shouldn't see.
"Ying, button you shirt up." He said to the other side of the room, still desperately trying not to look back. Instead, Ying edged closer to him and hugged him close. Her arms found themselves to his back and front, her legs wrapped around his waist. She snuggled into his chest.
Hei didn't know how to react to this. Part of him knew that they had to get up and find out what was happening to this strangely acting Ying, but the other half told him to just stay like this and enjoy the feeling, and the view. Both sides were just just as strong, fine perhaps the second was stronger.
"Ying, what are you doing?" He asked uncertainly.
She didn't reply, and closed her yes as if getting ready to sleep.
"Don't fall asleep here!" He exclaimed.
Ying opened her eyes slightly and said "The Apple Sidra tasted nice..So did the chicken."
At her words, Hei finally found the answer. Of course, how could he have forgotten. The day when the landlady gave the bottles, it was April the 1st, no wonder she was laughing. It wasn't Apple Sidra at all, instead it must be some kind of alcohol. The chicken, he had added just a little bit of rice wine to it just to add to the taste, perhaps he went a bit overboard. This brought him back to the memory of when he, Bai, and Ying were eating when they were still training together.
xxFlashbackxx
"I'm so thirsty and hungry!" Ying howled as they sat down at the table.
"Dinner's almost ready." Bai replied.
Ying looked unconvinced, so instead she jumped off her chair and headed towards the cupboards. Opening the second one to the left gave her a prize. Inside was a glass bottle filled with transparent liquid.
I'm sure no one will mind if I just take a sip of water.
She popped the cap open and held it to her lips, and the taste that went down her throat was unbearable. She almost screamed when the salty liquid cascaded down. And yet she swallowed the gulp.
Her cheeks started to glow red and she swayed on the spot.
"Ying?" Bai asked.
Ying slowly turned around, still rocking from left to right "Bai, I feel dizzy...hahaha"
Bai went over to her and took the bottle still in her hands. Two words were etched on the label.
"Did you drink this?" She asked Ying, her face slowly beginning to fill up with laughter.
"Did I? Or did I not?"
"Ying, are you okay?"
Ying didn't reply, instead she drew out Kuro Sakura (which was much smaller compared to the present) and started to swing it dangerously around in the air.
"What are you doing?" Bai exclaimed as she ducked under another wild attack.
"HEI! HEI! COME QUICKLY!"
Hei emerged from the door, looking bored but then his eyes widened up as he saw the drunk figure laughing her head off.
"What happened? Bai?"
"She drank a bottle of rice wine. Ahhhhhh~" Bai replied, then ducking quickly under again to avoid another swing.
Hei went under the table as well "What should we do?"
"I say we stun her."
"How? We can't even get close."
"Use your wire to hold her arms back or something, I'll shock her."
"Hey~ Hei, Bai, what are you doing? This is so fun!" Ying gibbered above them, almost like nonsense.
"Ready, GO!" Bai shouted.
Hei darted out from his hiding place and flung his wire around Ying's weapon hand. It instantly became still, giving Bai the chance to dart over to her and send an electric shock through her veins. Ying fell limp forwards, only to be stopped from her fall because Hei's wire was still fastened around her wrist.
"I never knew she would drink wine." Hei panted, redrawing his wire.
"I think she might have mistook it as water." Bai replied, catching Ying and slid her arm over her shoulder. She took her back to her room and lay her down on the bed.
"We should let her chill." She said to Hei, and the two left Ying alone.
When Ying finally woke up, it was already the next morning.
"Ohio Bai, Hei." She said, rubbing her eyes as she entered the room.
"How are you feeling?" Bai asked.
"A little groggy, what happened?"
"You don't remember?"
Ying shook her head, looking at the two.
Bai glanced at Hei, and made the decision.
"Nothing, you were just too tired that's all."
Ying sat down at the table and the three started to eat breakfast.
xx End of Flashback xx
Hei was drawn back to the present as Ying broke away from him.
"Hei, it's so hot today." She groaned.
"Ying, you're drunk. Don't undress here.." He said weakly as Ying started to fumble with her buttons. Hei turned away quickly and sat up, looking at the door.
He wanted to stand up but then was quickly pushed back to the ground as Ying crawled on top of him.
"Ying! What are you doing?" Hei was about to knock her unconscious, but then she said.
"Hei, do you love me?"
Hei lowered his hand slightly at this.
"What are you talking about?" He replied quietly. Of course he knew the answer, but he couldn't be sure whether telling her how he really felt now was a good idea since she was still pretty drunk. That was the reason why this question was asked in the first place.
"Do you hate me?" Ying asked with a sad look on her face, seeing that Hei had not given her an answer.
"No." he replied simply, looking her directly in the eye.
She bent her head down and stared at him as well.
"Can I kiss you?" She asked.
Hei didn't know what to say, but it seemed like she didn't need an answer. Ying bent down, hovering her lips over his. Hei closed his eyes, waiting for it to come.
And yet it never did.
Instead, he felt something fall beside his ear. Hei opened his eyes, Ying's head was beside his.
She had fallen asleep.
Hei sighed in... relief? Perhaps, perhaps not. Actually, he would have really liked the kiss, it would have been the first they had shared that Ying was aware of. Well, maybe not since she was drunk. Hei slowly rose, lifting Ying with him and sat up. He then sighed, slightly exasperated and trying not to stare at her front. Really, such a trouble maker. Carrying her like a princess, he moved her back to her bedroom and covered her in blankets.
Sitting on the bed, he stared at the figure that was fast asleep. He had considered many times about telling her how he really felt, but there just didn't seem to be a right time. He stood up, and moved towards the door. Just as he opened it, he heard Ying turn over.
"Hei, daisuke yo."
xx The next morning..xx
I woke up, feeling very groggy considering I had a terrible headache. I picked myself up from the bed and emerged from my bedroom.
"Ohio Hei, what happened? Why is my head spinning?"
Hei turned around from the kitchen with his cheek dotted with red, and said nothing.
"Hei? Do you have a headache as well? Why are your cheeks so red?" I asked.
He gave a small laugh and said "You were too tired last night you fell asleep and banged your head on the table."
Hei turned away from me.
Hei knew he probably shouldn't tell Ying what really happened, otherwise it would have caused a great misunderstanding. And here he learnt his lesson. This is why, you should never drink alcohol. Well, especially not with Ying.
He quickly turned back and said "Really, Ying. Please button your shirt up..."
Me: FINIDO~~~~~~
Ying: What really happened?
Hei: *Cheeks go red again* ...
Me: Ying, you should stop drinking alcohol.
Ying: But I think I can stay sane even if I drink tons..
Hei: I doubt it.
