Title: "Darker than Black Mad Libs"
Author: felinefemme
Summary: A typical DtB story, done in the old "fill-in-the-blank" style.
Genre: Humor. LiXMisaki friendship. HeiXJanitor work hateship. Whichever :-3
Note: "Darker than Black" belongs to Studio BONES, while this story belongs to me, and the stuff in the blanks are ours. Makes sense, right? Right!
It was a _(weather)_ evening in _(city)_ as the silver-haired Doll reported, "The police have passed _(number)_ checkpoint. Hei, you have _(number)_ minutes." Her _(adjective)_ eyes stared into nothing, although her bare feet were in a/n _(noun)_.
The Black Reaper, swinging through the city like _(superhero)_, tersely replied, "Got it. _(cool catchphrase)_"
Huang, the _(adjective)_ _(noun)_, growled, "I can hear you guys, you know. Keep the chatter down, wouldja?" His _(adjective)_ face got even more _(adjective)_ as he looked around for the last member of their group. "Mao, where are you?"
"Meow," is the only reply, and they can only guess that the animal-bound contractor's in the company of regular people. After a few beats, they hear the _(adverb)_ human voice of the black cat, "I'm at the playground, right where you wanted me. Unless there's a change in plans?"
"No, no change," Huang replies, jamming his hands into his pockets. "See you all there in half an hour."
In the next moment, however, the _(adjective)_ Chief Misaki Kirihara and her team nearly run over a guy in a green jacket. "Watch it!" Kirihara yells, but her eyes widen when she sees it's a familiar figure. "Li?"
"Huh? Oh, you scared me," the _(adverb)_ Chinese student smiles, grabbing his _(noun)_ in relief. His wide eyes get wider when he sees all the flashing lights of the cop cars fill the area. "What's going on?"
"Have you seen anyone suspicious here?" Kirihara asks _(adverb)_, while Saito and Kono jump out of another car, their guns out.
"Nooo," the _(adjective)_ student shakes his head, his wide eyes getting wider. "I didn't notice anything until I was nearly run over."
"Sorry about that," the _(adjective)_ chief says, "I'm afraid you'll have to leave, then, there's been a murder reported, and it's not safe for you to be here."
"Oh, okay," he nods, _(harmless pose)_. "I hope you catch the bad guy."
Kirihara smiles a little. "We'll do our best," she says before turning to join the rest of her team in the investigation.
Once she's safely out of sight, his eyes go back to their normal size and his expression flattens, hunching his shoulders as he makes his way to the playground. His face doesn't change when he meets his teammates. "The Contractor read my moves, not my mind," he says in his flat voice. "That's not the same thing as psychic."
"You got him anyways, didn't you?" Huang doesn't apologize.
Hei doesn't bother to answer, _(pose)_. _(long descriptive paragraph about how cool Hei looks, etc.)_
"So, what's next?" Mao butts in. "A nice long siesta, I hope?"
"Yeah, right," the lone human of the group _(verb)_s. "Hei, starting this Friday, you're going to be working at the police station."
"What?" It's not often Hei's surprised, but this time he is.
Huang smiles a little. "You're gonna be doing your usual janitor thing, but the Syndicate wants to you to get your hands on the _(noun)_ that Chief Kirihara's holding on to."
