DISCLAIMER!!!!--I don't own anything at all! *sniff* I'm broke!! ...no wait, not broke, the opposite...rich! Yeah, that's it!! I'm freakin' rollin' in cash and goods! Among my possession, however, is sadly not Fushigi Yuugi, or any song by the Matthew Good Band, which really sucks, since both rock ever so much! I do, however, own the IDEA of linking the two, and the IDEA for this story, and any character I may choose to write in that did not originally appear in the Fushigi Yuugi series. And, of course, every single piece of Matt Good or Fushigi merchandise I can come across.
A/N---- This is my first real Fushigi Yuugi fan fic, and it is in reply to the rumor about Nuriko being a girl in the 3rd OVA series. This idea has been running around my head for awhile now (and boy is it tired!...he hehe..not..) So, please, i dunno...um...enjoy it? Yeah..realize of course, that this is my way of accepting Nuriko being female, and that i really don't agree with half of the stuff I'm writing, i just write it to accept it, get it?
THING NEKO WILL BE KILLED FOR--No Sai. I know , I know, you all just had total spazz attacks. You're probably like "he's finally a girl, and Sai's not even there to sweep Nuriko off..umm..her...feet? Whadda ya mean?!?!" But all I meant was no Sai YET! I may bring him in later. It depends really. But I'm almost sure they will not be romantically involved. But not totally sure, because she defiantly has a thing for him, and it's always possible, it's just, this isn't really a romance fic. Or maybe it is. I'm not even sure of what I'm saying. I guess I'm saying Sai is on his way, but is not present in this chapter. yeah. Okay. That's all I can really promise for now, right?
PS----Just to explain the title: All the chapter of this story will be based on a Song by matt good. Whether or not this song really appears or not in the story is not yet determined. Most likely not. But , yeah, the entire story is Called "Apparitions", a Matt Good song from their album 'Underdogs'.Every Chapter will begin with a quote from this song until I run out of song. As well, each chapter is titled after another song, in this case, "Suburbia" from the album 'Beautiful Midnight'.This will also include a quote from the song. Since Matt has several dozen songs to choose form, I doubt I'll run out (they're all so beautiful!).Hopefully all these lyrics will link to the story (they should, I got most of them already planned out!)So, please, read them! They're sweet and meaningful! And, hell, you just read all this shit, what's another few lines, right? Oh, and for al of you who have even heard of the Matthew Good band, you kick ass! For those who are less fortunate, start searching! I know good music, and these guys are amazing!
Okay, commence story telling:
Apparitions
"Say hello,
Remain close to me
no goodbye, suicide mystery"
-Matthew Good Band
Chapter 1-Suburbia
"and baby if I was in demand you would be mine.
Some day this place is going to burn
is your whole life in there waiting?
Some day your head is gonna turn,
and you'll realize I'm missing,
do you realize?
-Matthew Good Band
Story by Neko Kamiya
"Gen-channnn!!" my screams were futile. In a final blast of chi, he was down and out. I ran over to him, forgetting my own pain. I had to make it to him, had to get there before...no, it couldn't happen! He wouldn't leave me, couldn't leave me, not after......
"Nu...ri....?" He gasped as I knelt down beside him.
"Shhh.. Don't speak.... you're injuries..."
"I.. Just...fuck it....." he reached up and stroked my cheek.
"Shhhh... don't worry, Mitsukake is on his way over , I can see him running towards us now" I couldn't. But I didn't want to let him know Mitsukake might be dead.
"No....I'm not ....not gonna ...make it" the battle raged on around us, but I was still. We were still. As if we were there in body, but in spirit, we were by ourselves, just the two of us. The tears slipped down my face before I could stop them.
"Don't..don't SAY that, Genrou!!! Your Tasuki, MY Tasuki, you'll be fine....just ..just fine," it wasn't looking good, he was losing lots of blood, but he couldn't leave me, Kourin and Kouji, he just couldn't...he'd be fine..just fine.. He smiled at me with those fangs and my fears disappeared, even if momentarily. I could never be scared seeing those fangs.
"I... ain't makin'.... it ....this time, ....babes."He whispered.
"No!! You can't Kourin!! Kouji!! Think of what this will do to them!! You gotta stay with us!! Please, please!!!"
"Wo..ai..ne......." then, his eyes closed, and he was gone. Shaking, my face streaming with tears, I slipped his harrisen into his hands, and placed them atop his chest. I then kissed his cold lips.
"Wo ai ne, gen-chan."I spun around, suddenly back in reality. "Chichiri!! I need your help here!! You have to take me and Genrou home, there's something I gotta do, before it's too late."
"Nuriko....Tasuki appears to be ...." Chichiri muttered as he 'ported beside me.
"I know, Houjun, I know. I figured Genrou would at least want to be home, right? Not just.....dead...in the middle of nowhere" Saying the words Genrou and dead in the same sentence seemed so ..wrong. In a flash, we were away from the deadly battle. Soon, I would go back and fight to my death, joining my Tasuki-chan in the spirit realm, but now I had to go to the home to which I would never again return, to protect the future.
*******************************************
"GENNNNNN-CHANNNNN!!!!" I squealed, as I saw my best friend crossing the road. I waved, and bounded over to him.
"Whazzup, homey?" I said, jokingly. He laughed a bit.
"That is SO fuckin' old, Ryuuen. Fuck, man! Do you EVER get fuckin' out?"He sneered, and flashed his fangs.
"No, Duhhhh!!! of course I know it passe! Good golly, gen-chan, a girl can't have any fun, can she? Hey, you up for hanging out at my place tonight? Houjun, Kouji, and Taka are comin' too! Gonna be a real game fest!!"
"Sounds fuckin' cool. Shit, does it ever fuckin' disturb you that, like, all your close friends are fuckin' guys? Shit!!We could just fuckin' team up tonight and have our fuckin' way with you, if we friggin' wanted to."
"Okay, umm.... eww..... first, you said "fuckin' way", which, was to say the least, both disturbing and hysterical, and secondly, if you guys tried anything, I'd beat the crap outta you!! I'm one tough li'l Seishi!" I flexed my non-existent biceps. Okay, so maybe the power was just given to me, but I can still use it, right?
"You mean ex-fuckin-Seishi! Past freakin' life...don't know why we still got our fuckin' powers tho...."He trailed off, and pulled out one of his many lighters. That's our gen, the pyro. He flicked it on and off a couple times, as we walked in silence. Pretty soon we were at my building.
"Come on up." I said, breaking the silence " everyone else will get here soon." As we walked into the elevator of my gorgeous marble , gold lined building(.....okay, it was little more than a cardboard box, I'm a collage student, okay? geez, what did you expect, a castle...that would be nice tho...back to reality), I turned to gen-chan "oh, and by the way, I'm not the only girl!! Miaka and my sisters coming too! Their school choir is on a tour. They're staying in town tonight, so they're gonna stop over, and, you know, see everyone."His jaw dropped.
"Your letting young, innocent Kourin spend an evening with me and Kouji in the house?!?I mean, okay, she's like a sister to me, but I will not be held responsible for Kouji's action, or my blurry drunk vision. You guys look too alike... with my luck ,I'll think I'm fuckin' jokin' around, pretending to friggan hit on you, and end up saying something fuckin' stupid to your li'l sister!"
"Well, I guess you just shouldn't drink then." I sneered. His jaw practically fell off.
"Not..drink?!?"He blinked "you're fuckin' joking right? If you think I can go a whole fuckin' night without a fuckin' drink...."We stepped off the elevator and walked toward my room.
"You can drink..."I said.
"Great!! Fuckin' great! Just let me run home.."
"..just no alcohol." I searched my purse for keys as gen-chan let that compute.
"..maybe I'll just go home early...yeah, that it.."He muttered. I fiddled with the key, and swung open my door. Home, sweet home. I loved my place. So clean and crisp. I took pride in a reasonably clean house, but I was in no way a neat freak. My room door always stayed closed. Hell, no one was perfect, right? I walked in.
"You comin' in or not?" I said, as I turned back to Genrou.
"Nah, I'm gonna dump my stuff at my place first." He said, as he turned and begun to walk down the hall. Gen and I had been best friends forever, so when we went to university, we ended buying two crappy little apartment rooms practically right next to each other. That way, I could always make sure he was on his best behaviour(which was almost never), and if I was ever in trouble, he was close enough to come help me out. It's worked out very well.
In high school, everyone thought we were an item, since we were always together, so it took toll on our love lives. It's weird, even though he's my best friend, and I love him dearly, I don't love him love him. We never even tried to be a couple, we always just knew we were just best friends, like we were always supposed to be just friends. When we finally got all our memories back of our past life, I wasn't at all surprised to find out me and Gen had been best friends in another life time as well. I guess that's why our friendship always felt like it was destined, in the stars, so to say.
A few seconds later, I heard Gen slam his door shut, and stomp back over to my place. I was fixing up the place a bit, just making it look more presentable.
"I brought some stuff over. Chips, and what not." He said as he dump the stuff on my kitchen table. He shut my door, and locked it.
"Why'd you lock the door?"I said. Usually my place was always open. We knew most of the people who lived in the place, fellow students, and a few newly weds, and my place was always a crash spot.
"Ahh..it's just the new guy who moved in. I don't trust 'em. I saw 'em hanging around your door the other day...." he kinda blushed and looked down at his feet. That was my Gen-chan. Tough on the outside, sweet inside. Like some sort of deep fried sweet thing. I gotta work on my analogies. He was always protecting me. "So..um..yeah...I think you should keep your door locked for awhile, just until we know more about him..... and, if he's a total perv, I'll just kick his fuckin' ass!!"I laughed. He would too.
"Thanks gen. If your so sure about this creep, the door will stay lock. You just gotta explain to everyone why my door is locked when they crash in to it!" I turned my gaze to the stuff he brought.
"So, what've we got here?"I walked over , and sorted through the food, games, and movies."No alcohol I hope?"
"Nah, I'll stay fuckin' sober tonight"He muttered , as he walked up beside me. "Hey! I brought al my favourite movies and games! Check it out!" he held up the selection. I grabbed at them.
"'State of Emergency'? 'Resident Evil'? 'Timespiltters'? " I continued flipping through the games. All were violent and bloody beyond belief. "Gen , these games are so violent! MY little sisters coming!! And, Miaka's coming! They're, what, 16? Too young for such violence!!"
"What game are they gonna fuckin' play? 'My little pony'? I think they're old enough! My ten year old cousin plays worse!"
"Of course they aren't gonna play 'my little pony!'!! They haven't made a my little pony game, silly gen-chan!!"I patted his shoulder "my little pony, as if...Well, let's see the movies then....O god, Gen!! I'm almost sure this is porn!"I said, holding up a movie with one skanky little chick on the cover, and she was holding..eww..I didn't want to know.
"Of course it's not fuckin' porn! You gotta get out more, Ryuu! That movie is so fuckin' old. It's "Buffy", stupid!"
"That's not Sarah Michelle Gellar! I know Buffy, and that isn't her!"
"No, of course it's not fuck Sarah Michelle, it's the fuckin' original movie! Some other chick played Buffy!" He playfully hit my shoulder "whadda ya make me out to be? I wouldn't want to watch porn with you and your little sister, that's just fuckin' nasty.And all those games are rated pg13, don't worry. I picked stuff out with the fuckin' company in mind. And anyway, you love fuckin' 'State of Emergency'."Gen-chan stated. Some how, he always got the last word. Right or not. In this case, he was probably right. I was just so worried about my little sister coming over. I hadn't see her in ages! Ever since I had gone off to university, I had only talked on the phone or ICQ with Kourin. I didn't want to scare her, or treat her too young, but at the same time, I wanted to protect her, keep her safe, so that my parents would let her come stay with me more often!I sighed.
"You're right, Gen-chan. I'm just so worried about Kourin coming. It 's been.. a very long time, too long. I would have visited her, but, you know how I feel about my parents... "I stared off into space. Me and my parents had some..problems... they never liked me being friends with Genrou. They thought that Kouji and him were a bad influence on me. The were always saying that the only reason they were friends with me was sex, and all they really wanted was to get me into bed. I knew that wasn't true, so it always hurt me when they said stuff like that.
The night of graduation, my father got a bit drunk and the family after party. He started telling Gen-chan and me off , screaming at the guy, really, about everything he could possibly blame on gen-chan. He said he was the reason I couldn't get a boyfriend, since all the guys were afraid of Genrou. He then old him that if I turned out to be a lesbian because of him, that he would have to provide the heirs.He blamed him for me not getting into med school, something that was never even possible to begin with! He told him that it was because of him that my brother ran away from home, something about him taking away his sister.Yeah, my brother ran away. Not because I was a bad sister, but because my parents were asses. They wanted him to be an engineer, follow in my fathers footsteps, and all he wanted to do was study philosophy. He told me the most wonderful stories, about gods and goddesses, but as soon as my parents entered the room, he'd turn around and pretend to be doing math. I couldn't believe it when my father said it was mine and Genrou's fault that he ran away. It didn't help that they had just declared that he had been missing long enough to be considered dead. Blaming their own kid was bad enough, but blaming her only true friend? I was mortified beyond belief.
That night, I went to Genrou's place instead of going back home. I hadn't been back since. Miaka and Kourin got my stuff for me, and I went off on a cross country trip with Genrou, Kouji, and Houjun. I hadn't spoken to my father since that night.It may seem stupid that I did all this after one measly night, but that's what it took for me to realize all the pain the put me through. My father abused me. He called it 'discipline', but none of the other kids were beat repeatedly for getting less than perfect grades. It took me years before I realized that my father had a problem. For the longest time, I thought I was just a bad, bad girl. I got so scared to do anything, anything at all. He messed with my mind, more than I could have ever realized. He had major problems. Kourin tells me he's better now. Apparently he went in for therapy. Even still, I just can't look at him again. So, because of my horrible relationship with my father, I haven't been home in over two years.
"You okay?" Gen-chan said. I shuddered. I just realized I had been crying.
"I..I'm fine." I said, as he came over and hugged me "just these damn memories.."
"Your dad's a fuckin' bastard! We know that, okay? Whatever he said or did, it's doesn't fuckin' matter. You survived, and turned out hella good at that!" He brushed away my tears."Now, come one! Cheer up then! This is gonna be a fuckin' kick ass fun night!"
"You're right. I'm just.. so worried I may......"
"What? turn out like that jack ass?? No fuckin' way that's gonna happen!! You're Ryuuen! Not him!" He flashed his fangs, and all my fears melted away. I could never be scared seeing those fangs. Whoa, odd deja vu.
'Thanks Gen." I turned and looked in the mirror. "O, god! I look like a wreak! " I was wearing one of my favourite tank tops (black, of course!) And a pair of dark jeans. My purple hair was falling out of my black scrunchie, messy beyond belief. And to add to the look, my eyes were starting to get all red and puffy from crying." just give me a sec while I clean myself up!" I said, as I ran to my room.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever.. You look fine to me, but go ahead." I heard him flop down on the couch a turn on the televison. Quickly , I picked out a more suitable outfit. My all time favourite shirt black, again, with bell sleeves and those little tie thingys at the elbow. Also, a nice v-neck that showed off my killer collar bones. I kept the jeans on. The bells went nicely with the sleeves. I quickly fixed my hair, pulling it back into a darling bun high on my head. I threw on some earrings, decided not to wear much make up, and went back into the living room.
" you own too much fuckin' black!" Genrou called from the couch.
"There's no such thing as too much black, Gen-chan! Hasn't Houjun taught you anything? Black makes you look both sophisticated and unapproachable!"
"Yeah, but houjun is some sorta fuckin' hermit or something. He just sits around all day and broods over whatever the fuck that guy can possible brood over 'my milks gone bad..sigh..life sucks' 'I was late for class, life sucks' 'my friends haven't called all day, sigh life sucks' 'my parents probably never loved me, sigh, life sucks' 'my apartment is small and crappy, sigh, life suck.' 'I'll never be as great as Gen-chan, sigh, life sucks..'and, of course 'my fiancee's left me for my best friend..sigh, life sucks' whadda fuckin' whiner!"Gen said mockingly.
"Gen-chan! I think he has some right to be sad over that last one!" I laughed.
"Oh, about never being as great as me? Yeah, agreed! If I had to fuckin' live in the shadow of my fuckin' excellence, I'd be depressed too!"
"As if, Gen!" Suddenly, we heard a loud bang, followed by muffled voices.
"Ow!!! My butt hurts!! What's wrong with the door?"
"Miaka! Don't you know how to open a door....baka...."
"Hey! Watch it!! I know how to open a door, it's just not opening!!"
"Here, let me try, ladies! It must be stuck" another loud bang. I went to open the door. Genrou grabbed my arm.
"Wait.. This is so fuckin' funny! Let's see how fuckin' long it takes them to realize the door is friggen locked." he whispered.
"Fine, fine!" I whispered back.
"What the hell? But, she never locks her door.. Something must be wrong! Miaka, go call the cops!!"
I looked at genrou.
"Fine, go open the door! Ruin my fuckin' fun!"He huffed. I ran over, and swung open the door.
"HI!!!" I Sang.
"Ryuuen! You're okay!! Why the hell was your door locked? What's up with that? You NEVER lock your door!" Taka said, shaking me.
"Ask gen-chan!" I said, pointing at the red head currently raiding my fridge. "Something about a scary guy moving in.."I trailed off. Oops, blew Gen's tough guy cover again.
"AWW!!! still protecting Ryuu!!" Miaka squealed.
"wittle gen-chan, always protecting his bestest buddy!" Taka mocked
"Shut the fuck up, Taka!"
"Sorry, Gen!" I said. "Well, come in guys!" I said. As Miaka and Taka bounded in, I suddenly realized they weren't alone. "Kourin.."I whispered. Ewww!! Deja vu from my other life again. I hate that!
"Ryuuen!!" She screamed as she jumped up a hugged my neck.
"Hey, kiddo! It's so great to see you!! " I squealed back. I hugged her till my arms were tired, then put her down...well, not really 'put her down' we were basically the same height, but I'd like to pretend I towered over my little sister. She looked around the room.
"Not too shabby!" she commented. Her eyes stopped on Genrou.
"You remember Gen-chan, right?"I said as I closed the door.
"Umm.. Yeah, hard to forget him ......"She said, she sounded a bit pissed at gen
"What the fuck izzat supposed to mean?" Gen said.
"Um...well..it's just.....um....dad and mom...they kinda blame you..for taking away their daughter......"She twiddled her thumbs.
"Fuckin' great! Now they fuckin' blame me for YOUR disappearance too! Fuck! I knew you shoulda gone home first, patched things up..oh well, fuck it, better me than you, right?"
"Well, it's a good thing mom and dad don't visit you, they wouldn't be happy to know you live with him." She smiled. "I don't care tho. You had every right to run away with him. Love is love."
My eyes went so wide I thought they fall out of their sockets. I stared at Gen-chan. Same look, but slightly dopier than me, I hope. simultaneously , we broke down into howls of laughter. I wiped the tears from my face.
"Right *snicker* ooh, that's sweet. Me, in love with Gen-chan. That is sooo funny!!"I took a deep breath. "Oh, Gen-chan, my love! Let us run away together and never return to this awful place that condemns our affection" I sang mockingly.
"Oh, Dear Ryuu-chan!!Let us ride off into paradise together, and buy a seedy apartment were we will be together forever!" He followed my lead.
"My love!"
"My love!"We ran to each other and wayyy over acted a hug. Again, howls of laughter followed, from Miaka and taka too. After bowing for a standing ovation, gen turned to Kourin.
"Man, that's some fuckin' funny shit! Where'd you ever get an idea like that, squirt?" He said as he ruffled her hair.
"Wait...you mean, you guys aren't a couple?"
"Unless you mean a couple of freaks, no, were not."I said sweetly.
"Then why do you live together?" She asked, confused beyond belief.
"Umm..we don't. I live down the hall." Gen said.
"But, what would it matter if we did live together? We're just friends! Honestly, Kourin! You're letting Mom and Dad corrupt your opinion of me and Gen! You better than anyone should remember that we were never romantically involved."Kourin was like my living diary. Big sister would tell her stories of her life as a sort of bed time story. I always bored her to sleep.
Kourin smiled "I'm sorry, Ryuuen. I know you always said there was nothing between you two." Then, she whispered to me "does that me Gen-chan's free?" She winked. I rolled my eyes.
"Take a seat guys!" I said as taka flopped down on the couch. I noticed Kourin squeeze in beside Genrou. He smiled at her. Thank god I know he considers her as his sister, otherwise I'd kill him. I'll still might, considering Kourin seems to have forgotten that she' just 'squirt' in my best buds eyes. Seeing them sitting there brought back such sweet memories of my younger day, more peaceful days. I smile. Just then, another loud bang, followed by a soft knock.
"I guess Houjun's here!" I said as I opened the door.
"Hello, no da." He said.
"Hey, Houjun! Come on in, Miaka, Kourin, Taka and Gen are already here!" He silently walked in, his trench coat making a odd 'swoosh'-y sound. I closed the door. Just as I turned around I heard:
*knock**knock* "whose's there? It's Kouji! Kouji who? Gen and Ryuu best friend Kouji! You mean the Kouji, the greatest guy in the whole fuckin' universe? Yep , that's me ! Oh, come right in, They're expecting you, your eminence! Thank you! *bang* what the fuck? Why the fuck is this door lock?? Gen! You better not be taking advantage of our young and innocent li'l ryuu!! OPEN THIS DOOR!"
I swung open the door once more.
"Hey Kouji!"
"Ryuu! My man! Why the fuck is the door locked?"
"Long story, just come in" I said. " Oh, and, Kouji? That door bit's a tad scary."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever...Gen-chan!"
"Kouji!" Genrou said. And then, they did..the dance...I still don't know when that dance started, but I do know they had been doing it since before I could remember. They h lose all concept of where they are when the dance must be done, which is whenever they see each other. Get's quite embarrassing when the run into each other at the mall, or see each other at a lecture. I tend to pretend I don't know them when they do that god awful dance.
"Such children." I say as I roll my eyes.
"You know your just jealous"Kouji sneered .
"Riight...anyway, let's play some games, shall we?" I popped 'Bloody Roar 3' into my PS2 . The first game was to be me versus Genrou. I was Jenny, the Bat. Although I also really liked being Alice, the bunny, I figured a fight against Gen deserved my best fighter. He picked Yugo, the wolf, of course! His name does mean 'phantom wolf' so what else could you expect? Too bad for Gen! I kick ass at Jenny! A couple good vampire-like bits to the neck, and he was out! Next was Houjun, who, unsurprisingly, pick Xion, the unborn. A personal favourite, and a real kick ass fighter. I made some witty comment about their trench coats matching, then kicked his ass. My winning streak continued to the end of that game off, and thru the next two as well. Sadly, on the fourth game, Kouji conquered. Disturbingly enough, the game was "Unison", a dancing game! Hoping to continue his winning streak, Kouji then suggested we play "Bust-a-Groove", another dancing game. This time , tho, Gen-chan beat us all! It made sense, he was playing as 'Heat'.Something about fire motivates Genrou to do his best. That's why he was such a great cook! Miaka soon grew bored of the game fest, and toddled off to the kitchen to raid my fridge, no doubt. Two hours later, we were all (mostly) gamed out. In other words, I began to win everything, and the guys got sick of losing to a girl, Kourin was sick of losing to her older sister, and Miaka was just sick, having eaten practically all she could find in my fridge, not to mention the effects staring at a television screen with surreal colours and 3-d graphics for several hours can have on the human body.
"Can we just watch a movie now, Ryuuen?"Kourin said, as she stifled a yawn.
"Fine." I said, as I threw down my controller.
"Hey! Let's watch "Tank Girl"! It's fuckin' classic! I fuckin' love it! It's too friggan funny!"
"Genrou, "Tank Girl" came out, when? 1995? Not exactly classic, no da!" Houjun commented.
Never the less, Gen ran up and popped the tape into the VCR. It was one weird movie. All about some future where water was like gold, and some girl went around in a giant tank trying to conquer the water company. And, oddly, her love interest was a kangaroo man. After the initial moans about it being too stupid to stand, we all got really into it, and, dear lord, Gen was right, it was funny. Bizarre, but defiantly funny.
When the movie ended, I headed off to order some food.
"God, it's getting late!"Taka said suddenly,"After Pizza, I'll have to get the girls back to their hotel! They have a 1 o'clock curfew!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll tell the guy to rush on over." I turned and looked into my living room. It was so nice to see all my friends, safe and happy, with my sister, enjoying every minute of being close to me. It reminded me of childhood, and I longed for such comfort as I felt right now. It wouldn't last, I knew it couldn't. Life was never this simple. Still, it was strange that the first feelings that popped into my mind were that they were safe. I guess that's my previous life experience, knowing that a moment like this never could have happened back then makes it all the sweeter.
The pizza came and went in a few minutes. It disappeared in less time than it took me to order it. That's what I get for having Genrou and Kouji as friends. They practically just spilt it in half, and stuffed it all in their mouths. Men, what are you gonna do with them? All they're good for is comic relief. After the pizza was devoured, Taka held to his promise, and got up to bring the girls home.
"Oh, come on Taka! We can be a little late getting back, can't we?"Miaka whined.
"No! Come on! It took forever to even convince your teachers to let you two come out with us tonight! I'd hate to misuse that trust by not returning you before curfew. If we follow all their crazy rules, perhaps you two could stop in on your way back too! All it'd take is a little more of my charm..."
"Yeah, right! You have fuckin' charm! Sorry, Taka! I'm afraid I have all the charm!" Gen chimed in.
"Charm? Genrou? Since when?" I asked quizzically. "You can't charm your way outta or into anything! That's why you turned to violence and trickery!"
"Can fuckin' too!"He insisted "I charmed my way into that chemistry class !"
"No, Gen-chan, you call that blackmail. You blackmailed your way into that chemistry class."
"Whatever, same difference. It gets stuff done."
"Umm..is anyone else confused as to how this conversation got started? I think we're a bit off track, no da."Houjun, of course. Always stopping our pointless rambling before it gets too intense.
"Right, right. So, yeah, let's get you kids back." Taka said.
"KIDS?"Kourin commented."We, taka, are not children! We are teenagers, thank you very much! Not only that, we're seniors! Soon, we too will be collage students! I think you have forgotten our ages, we're not much younger than you, you know!"
"Yeah, 'cause if they were, you'd be robbing the fuckin' cradle there , Taka m'boy!"Kouji threw in.
"Point, point!" Taka said, laughing nervously.
"Then who'd be the fuckin' bandit thief?" Genrou said. "Honestly, going for young children! Taka, how could you? And I thought me and Kouji were the so called bad apples, at least we don't hit on kids! Tisk, tisk" He shook his head and looked down at his feet. "Whadda we gonna do wit you?"
"Hey, Miaka, don't you feel like we aren't even here?"
"You're right Kourin! Perhaps we've gone invisible!"
"Whatever! Come on you two, let get going before I start to be accused of other lewd behaviour."Taka said, standing.
"'other lewd behaviour'? Why would they accuse you of other lewd behaviour? What would they base this on? Taka! You didn't, gasp, do anything disgusting did you? Because of you did, well, I just would have to leave you, post haste!" Miaka did a wonderfully dramatic scene, quite moving really. Taka laughed.
"Fine. I guess we're leaving." Kourin said, as she got up and gave me a hug."See ya soon sis."
"Yeah, hopefully very soon."I said, as I hugged her back "you stay safe okay? I don't wanna get any messages about my sister getting into mischief! And you just keep your distance from Miaka, that girls insane!"I winked.
After the heartfelt good-byes were over, Taka and the girls headed out.
"I guess I should go now too."Houjun said "I have a philosophy class first thing tomorrow that I can't miss., no da."
"Yeah, me too. Sorry guys, But consuming no fuckin' alcohol all night makes me a little tired. And rather well oriented. I'm talking like fuckin' Doukun for fuck sake" Kouji said, shocked.
"Not quite. Doukun tends not to accent every sentence with 'fuckin'. Close, much more 'big words' than your usual speech patterns, but still Kouji, like Doukun is sorta stretching it."I said, as I lead them out.
"See ya guys tomorrow!" I said, as I waved from the door way. I closed the door. My place was a mess.
"Great. Look at this pig stye!"I said, as I began to try and clean up.
"I'll help ya out." Gen said, as he handled the pizza box.
"You? Helping clean? well, I thought I'd never see the day!"With both of us working together, the cleaning job went rather fast. Tiring, but fast. I flopped down on the couch, Gen sat down beside me.
"Well, that went well."I said, breaking the silence cleaning brought.
"Yeah. It was real fuckin' nice to see your kid sis again. It seem to be a bit hard on you though."He turned to me.
"Yeah...well..when she brought up al that stuff...well..it just reminded me that...you know, let's not talk about this right now. It seems this topic has come up way too much today. Shit happens right?"
"Yeah, shit fuckin' happens."
I closed my eyes and breathed deep.
Next thing I knew, I was waking up with the sun in my eyes. I quickly rolled away and into something warm and comfy. I cuddled up to it, and tried to go back to sleep. Suddenly, and bright light filled the room.
"Hm..Wha..what the fuck?!?!"The presence of another person voice and the eery light caused me to force my self awake. I looked up to see Genrou, staring in disbelief at the centre of my living room. Oh, right, we must have fallen asleep on the couch. Oh well. Back to bed then. What?? What was I thinking? That light, remember stupid? Oh...right, okay, let's take a look at what's got Genrou so freaked out. My slow morning brain finally focussed my head to look in the direction of the freaky light. Then. I just stopped. Coming out of a giant red light was a woman.
I recognized her. I'd seen her before. Every day, actually. I stood up. No, no, it couldn't be. That wasn't possible! But there she was, with her purple hair ,long and softly curled. Her strong gaze softened by a birth mark appearing under her eye, a warm smile filling her face, staring at me with those honey brown eyes.
She was me.

Neko Goes crazy :heheheheheheheheheheheehehehehheheheheh!!! WHOOO HOOO!! That went rather well, no da? (Heh! I LOVE that! "Well, no da?" Get it???) Umm... i hope you liked it *shuffles feet* i tired my damnedest (...no.....no, i didn't...i was busy with school though! The fact that i finished the first chapter is mind blowing enough, no da?!) I'm just gonna throw chance to the wind and post this though, even if I'm not sure how you all will have taken it(that made little to no sense!)I'm not gonna even bother having Shiro read it, since she thinks my work is too sappy, but that because she's a comedy writer and can't see the beauty in pain and angst.
Shiro: Stop talking about me! And anyway, Neko, this fic doesn't seem as angst-y as your other work, it's almost..funny.... sucker!!!! You lost your serious writing skills, no all you write is crap, crap, crap!
Neko: I thought you wouldn't read it! How would you know how I wrote it?
Shiro: well, that is..um...i did read it! yeah, that's it!
Neko: really, well then, tell me, what movie does Genrou suggest they watch?
Shiro:umm.....Dracula??
Neko....grr....get outta my room, Shiro!!!!!*slams door* Now, back to work!
So, um...yess....okay, hm. I just wanted to say, I realize Ryuuen is a guys name, but I couldn't call him Kourin since Kourin is still around, and I didn't really want to change his name, so just pretend it's a girls name, like Fred on 'Angel'!..umm. Done I guess. Review, please! Give me some feedback, or else my next chapter will purposely be no more than a pile of steaming shit!
Shiro: you mean like this one was?
Neko: LEAVE!!
The very crappy Akugi by Neko-chan:
"..Well, let's see the movies then....O god, Gen!! I'm almost sure this is porn!"Ryuuen said, holding up a movie with one skanky little chick on the cover, and she was holding..eww..she didn't want to know.
"Of course it's fuckin' porn! You gotta get out more, Ryuu! That movie is so fuckin' old. It's "Booby The Vampire Slayer", stupid! It's so great, she goes around a destroys evil by ...*whisper whisper whisper* "Gen Smiled. Her eyes went wide.
"Can the human body even twist that way?"
"Oh, Booby's can. Heavy on the top, you know, carrying around all that extra weight has caused her to be extremely flexible!"
"Ewwwww!"she stuck my tongue out "that's just sick!"
"But wait, I haven't even told you the best part *whisper whisper whisper*"
"AHH!! My Virgin Ears!!"Ryuuen ran down the hall with her hands covering her ears, screaming like a mad woman.
"Heh. So gullible." Gen said as he pulled off the 'oob' he had stuck over the 'uff' in the title of the movie.
*******
