Chapter one: Doughnuts and Convincing
Nuriko
11:50 AM
It had been a confusing day for Miaka. She had thought that since today was the last day before spring break, her professors would go easy on her (and at least let her bring some snacks in...).
But NOOOO! Extra homework, extra-long lectures, and she found out her essay on "the applications of accounting in the world today" was actually DUE today.
"I hate university!" she yelled during the middle of our lunch break
"Miaka I'm driving!" I yelled. Aaaaah! Wrong lane wrong lane wrong lane! I swerved to avoid hitting some on-coming car. I didn't even see the drivers face. Or body, for that matter. Probably some old guy (I've noticed old people sort of magically sink in the drivers seat, honestly, it's like some disgruntled phantom-driver or something).
"Yeah, well, if ya don't go faster we're gonna miss the doughnut joint!"
"Shops tend to stay put!"
"Not doughnut shops!"
Ah, don't get me wrong, I like Miaka (I even went through this screwy crush phase), but I've noticed guys are more my type. Preferably tall guys. Guys with long, flowing, jet-black-hair. Guys with a penchant for silly hats...
"Nuriko pay attention!"
"Whah?" Huh? Sorry, what's going on? Crap, she looks angry, better pull over.
"You just drove right by my lunch!" *looming* "You must die!"
"Miaka, just calm down, lower the bookbag slowly.."
"WHAM"
A couple minutes later, I found myself making a U-turn, and Miaka happily munching on a rice ball she had snuck away for "emergency" situations.
12:48 PM
She is my priestess, and I do appreciate all the effort she whent through trying to find all of our reincarnated selfs. Of course, when she had trouble "reminding" us of our past lives, I think the whole dragging-us- back-into-the-past-so-we-could-look-at-our-other-selfs was a bit much (and me without a proper supply of beauty care!). But her devotion to Tamahome is just sickening. And him to her! When she said ,"Taka is a sucky name! Sounds like Taco! Change it back to Tama!", he did it! Then, because the
mention of tacos was too much for her, they went out to Taco Bell. And
didn't invite me. Pooh.
Chirikio
1:35 PM
Unusual. Nuriko has been acting quite unlike his usual boisterous self. Perhaps it may be that his relationship with Hotohori is not progressing as planned? Today was my secound day in becoming accustomed to the automobil, and I perchance ran into the fellow on my way towards obtaining a doughnut. He almost hit me on the way there, no doubt engaged in some quarrel with Miaka. How endearing. But the man was unsettled upon meeting me amongest the glazed originals, he instructed me to escort our lady Miaka home, muttering to himself about a one "Taco Bell". Most unusual.
Miaka
1:02 PM
Gad! Everything is being so confusing to me today! First, Yui has to show off in class today and turn her paper in on the due date, then I have to get homework, and Nuriko forced himself to get a bruise in the shape of the bottom of my bookbag AND have me eat my emergency rice ball! Oh the drama! Totally not fair!
Good thing Chiriko happended to be in the doughnut shop too! Like, I didn't want to be rude or anything, but Nuriko was being kinda flakey, and he probably didn't have any money for food either. Luckily, Chirikio always has money!
I'm not sure how Chirikio did it, but he was able to lose Nuriko and drive me home (like I'm really going to class after the morning I've had!). Well, um, not exactly MY home, but Chirikio doesn't know the difference.
You see, Tamahome (NOT TAKA! NOT TAKA!) doesn't have enough money to go to college. He stays home to support his disabled Dad and siblings. One day when he doesn't need to worry about them and we have enough money, we're going to get married and live in a pink castle made out of marshmallow fluff and have 2.3 children!
However, occasionally I do sleepover, mainly in his sisters' room (things are a little cramped, though). Sometimes, the youngest one rolls into a ball and makes a sound like a beach ball deflating. Kinda freaks me out.
To the untrained eye it would appear I have a completely perfect life. Alas, ya see, I might get along pretty well with my own warriors, but the Seiyru gang is still a bit much. Me and Yui want to fix this, she feels alone and would like more friends, but what should we do?
5:43 PM
I, like, just got off the phone with Yui and Mitsuake (not sure why he happended to be there...), and we've decided what to do: hiking in the mountains! Mitsuake is always hot on anything having to do with nature, and he said that a reflective and peaceful teck through mysteriously misty mountains is just what everyone needs! I was a little hesitant at first, but Yui agreed immidiatly, so I did too.
Gonna be a bugger getting everyone else to agree, though.
7:50 PM
Mitsuake got Tatsuke who prepositioned Tamahome who made Chirikio agree who talked to Nuriko who begged Hotohori who mentioned it to Chiciri who asked Tamamhome who wanted to know if I wanted to come. Sometimes I wonder if I need to get that boy's head examined.
Yui
8:58 PM
Wow! Finally done! Had to ask everybody 'cept for Soi, who I knew would come when Nakago agreed. Actually, he agreed kinda quickly to that. Wonder what's up? I don't know, he's strange. The twins were the hardest. They wanted to bring their Yaori Parodies (dear Seiyru, don't ask me why) and I balked, but eventually, well, I was tired...At least we'll be able to fit all of them in, 'cause Miaka convinced Tamahome to let us use his old lard-butt 70's American van for the trip.
Tetsuya came home from work tonight. Wanted to know why I was on the phone with Nakago. Paranoid sod-sucker! It's a wonder he could even tell I was in the room with those damn sunglasses on! Was he eavesdropping? No matter, tommorow I'll be free of him for a week...
Miaka
2:23 AM
I convinced Tamahome to let me us his old lard-butt 70's American van for the trip. Ain't I great? Well, normally I would be asleep by now, but that freaky youngest sister sat on my head and yelled "Ball! Ball! Play ball!" at 2:00 in the morninging! In my sleep-induced state I thought she was talking about rice balls, so I got up, only to be greeted by the little midget herself, pelting me with the family baseball.
So I'm sitting out in the hallway, wondering if I should join Tamahome...I mean, nothing would happen, right? Right?
Ah, screw it, I'm going in.
"CREEK!"Crap! Can't these people oil their doors?!
*sleepily* "Miaka?..."
"Er, yeah, Tamahome?"
"Whu? What's going on? We in the Universe of the Four Gods again?"
"Uh, sure..."
"Good, 'cause my hair looked hot back then."
*laugh* "That's right."
He's too sleepy to know what's going on, I'm just gonna climb up on in.
I can hear his heart.
"Miaka"
"yeah"
"We can't summon him"
"Who?"
"Suzaku."
"Why not, love?"
" 'CAUSE I'M GONNA DEFILE YOU RIGHT HERE AND NOW!"
Tamahome
2:29 AM
I grabbed on to her and held her. She laughed and shriecked, tossing around the entire time. Huh, maybe this "hiking trip" isn't gonna be such a bad deal at all. I could definatly go for a few more instances like this. Now if there was only a way to get money out of it...
"CREEK!" *hobble* *hobble*
Dad!
Miaka stopped wiggling, but she couldn't seem to stop giggling."Uh-Oh" she whispered. Sometimes I think I need to have that girl's head examined.
"Son, at this particular hour in the morning I don't care if you defile the Coffee-Maker. Now get back to bed"
*glancing at Miaka* "Well, you always wanted your children to have more than you did."
Chapter two: Let the Charades begin!
Chichiri
10:09 AM
Do I really need some fun? It's been more than a year since the car accident, but I still feel like I should be punished. It hurt me when the police reported that my fiance (with a new engament ring) and best friend were in that Suzuke, with directions to the court house, but nothing will override my guilt. Underneath it all, did I really not know who was in that car? I can't dissapoint the others, so I will go. They will hear my cheerful "No da"s, but I doubt I will mean them.
I was the first to be loaded up into the car. Although Yui put off getting her liscence until last month, she really is a very capable driver. After that, Nakago and Soi (they had been conducting a little private "sleepover", the perverts) came aboard. Then it was Tamahome and Miaka (so much for my smug comment about a sleepover. Oh well, at least we don't have to summom an ancient constellation-based diety or anything). We found Ashitare in a nearby dumpster, and Nurko and Hotohori (they live a block away from eachother) waiting at the bus stop. It'll be a while before we get everyone.
11:01
Now, time for me to dicover if the van contains a toilet...
11:12 AM
"Aaaaah!"
Miboshi
11:14 AM
Hah! Pretty boy here's out cold! Guess the sight of me in all my glory was simply too much for him to bear. That'll teach 'im to knock first! Hehehe...
Chirikio
11:13 AM
Well, after that bit of excitment, I'd hoped to set down for a proper repose, which in all other circumstances would have occured. Unfortunatly, my neighbor was Tatsuki.
"I'm going to the f****** john. Don't try and stop me, ya piece 'o- "
"Believe me Tatsuki, I have no intention of anything of the sort."
'Does that mean No?"
"Yes."
"Good. Piece 'o s*** f****** midject weasel wobbler..."
'Twas at that moment I remembered that the only bathroom aboared the van was destroyed thanks to the antics of a one fainted Chiciri.
"Tatsuki! Where are you going?!"
11:50 AM
To the back of the van, apparantly. I caught up to him just as he opened the emergency exit. In the face of on-coming traffic, he was heard to yell "I can see the whites of their eyes!". I saw him move towards his breeches, but I was too late. Pulling him back, he uttered towards me the strongest stream of curses ever let forth. Made me feel sort of special.
However, as any student of physics can quickly surmise, once the "stream" was issued forth (the looks of terror upon the drivers' faces such as I have never beheld before), Tatsuki was pulled backwards. This caused a very unfortunate incidence to befall Tatsuki.
"Slimy piece 'o s****, made me wet my f****** pants, you son of a-"
(-Note: as I have deemed them highly inappropriate, I have since forth edited all content that issues from that great maw of Tatsuki's.)
Yui
2:00 PM
Crud. Everyone is together allright, but all the Seiyru are huddled together at the back of the van, while the Suzaku are in the middle. This sucks! Not like I can depend on Miaka or anything. She's all cozy with Tamahome, and at the same time eyeing the "Pure-Grain Sugar" bag lustfully. Yuck.
Come to think of it, it is totally unfair that SHE gets true love. I mean, I'm smarter, prettier, and have suffered more emotional angst than her. By all shojo-romance standards, I should have someone like Tamahome (though not actually him. That kid cannot kiss, and Nakago agrees. Wait a minute! How does Nakago...).
Miaka's babling on about pink marshmallow fluff again.
"Y'know, me and a certain other blondie report Tama ain't all that great when it comes to-"
"WHAH?!!"
I just detest conversations about pink marshmallow fluff.
But back to me! It's not like I can relay on Tetsuya or anything. Not exactly the knight in shinging armour, know what I mean? Heck, at this point I'd even settle for a pansy wannabe-samurai. He's never there, and those sunglasses are denting by pretty (NOT cosmetically enhanced, take that Soi!) little nose whenever we do kiss. Sod-sucker!
5:41 PM
Oh, what is it with these people?! What's the point in a hiking trip in the first place if you don't even talk to one another! SOMETHING must be done!
Miaka
5:43 PM
"SOMETHING must be done!" I roared. Oh, look at the look on Yui's face. Bet she wishes she'd thought of that!
"We're wasting this great oppertunity! What's the point in a hiking trip in the first place if you don't even talk to one another?"
"Maybe we should play a game?" Suboshi offered tentativly
"Yes! Yes, that's a great idea! Now, what did you have in mind?"
*glancing hopefully at Amboshi* "Spin the bottle?"
Everyone: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
6:00 PM
Ok, we've finally decided on a friendly, age-appropriate, time honored classic: Charades! The trip takes two days anyway, and if we can get through the rest of the first one, then I'm the best! Go me! I've divided the group up as follows:
Tamahome + Nakago
Miaka + Yui (yes!)
Chichiri + Miboshi
Nuriko + Tomo
Mitsuake + Soi
Hotohori + Ashitare
Tatsuke + Amiboshi
Chirikio + Suboshi
Personally, I'm a little scared of pairing EVERYBODY with members of the oppsing country's but, y'know, happened a long time ago, blah blah, inter-dimension communication crap,...doughnuts....I know there was some doughnuts here...
"Ok everybody, first off is Tam-" Hold it. Isn't Nakago the only other "blondie" that Tama knows?
"Alright people, change in schedule, it's Yui and Nak-"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Oh, hello Yui, you sure do sound different when you whisper"
"I am NOT being paired up with him!"
"Well, you certainly didn't mind me last lifetime." A dangerous voice spoke from behind up. Uh-oh.
Nakago
6:14 PM
Hah. It was an absolute waste coming on this trip. Though, 'twas funny to see the little man with sunglasses bribe me to let him listen in on the other line.
"Thanks, man, you're a real pal."
"Not a problem, Tetsuya."
"At least you won't be going."
"I have every intention of going."
"WHAT? Why!?"
"Simply so that I can f*** her, ******s****d*****a***v**dog*****t****was******mother, and then see the look on your face when she moves in with me."
Of course, the look he was giving me right then was perfectly enough to satisfy me, but, I do love a challenge. Or rather, just another chance to be a b******.
(-Note: Oh dear! And here I was thinking I would simply need to censure Tatsuki! Dreadfully sorry for for any offense this might have caused! I really would like to post this as a PG-13 piece!)
Fine, if she wouldn't pair with me, then-
"Lifetime! What Lifetime?! Where? I simply adore that channel!'
Oh Nuriko, you silly little-
"What? Me too! Hey, did you see that episode of the Golden Girls where Blanche goes out with a student who-"
"Had a mother-complex! Yeah, that's my favorite one!"
Yui
6: 16 PM
I cannot believe the nerve of Miaka! How dare she try to set me up with blondie-butt (not that I would know about "that" mind, you...). At least we avoided Nakago eating us alive, as Nuriko and Tomo have him thouroughly distracted in a conversation about old-lady-dating-dynamics (why would Nakago find this intersting? Hmmm...).
"Ok, everybody, let's start this thing!" *glances at the list* "Chichiri and Miboshi, you guys are up first!"
Chichiri
6:19 PM
At first I was quite apprehensive. I'd only seen this "Miboshi" through time travel. Back then he had the body of a child monk that he possessed, so I really didn't know what he would look like.
Hot, apparently. This gorgeous thing drove Chirikio to commit sucicide? Wow... (however, I am now feeling very grateful that I am not gay, because if not...).
We were alotted 2 minutes to come up with an idea. He just stared at me. Maybe he had a sore throat? Well, that's what I thought...
When our turn came we continued staring at each other (very uncomfortable) untill suddenly
"WHAM!"
He lunged for my throat and began to strangle me! F****** freak! As Ashitare pulled me away from the deranged bishounen, Miaka cried out "London Bridge!". Yeah, whatever, floozy.
Miboshi
6:20 PM That was lovely! I should do that again sometime! Give it up for Seiyru's evilest seishi!
Miaka
6:25 PM
This is going so well! I know I've said so before, but I feel I must congradulate myself again. I'm so cool! Which reminds me, I know the "Cool Ranch" dip is around here somewhere...
Haha! You are mine, Sweet 'n Crunchy! All mine! *Gobble* *Slurp*
6:31 PM
Uh-oh, why is everyone staring at me?
"Miaka?"
"Yeah, Chirikio?'
"Whose next?"
*giant pratfall*
Soi
6:32 PM
"Ok,people, back to buissness! Nuriko and Tomo, you're up next!"
That fool priestess, does she actually expect her antics to work? The only good part about this trip is Tomo will have to face once and for all that Nakago is mine! Who does that jerk think he is anyway? While I was out working the dangerous streets of Tokyo (to be rescued by my wonderous captian, of course) all that little creep had to endure was his dad's unnatural obscession for facial tatoos. I mean, the man was a tatoo "artist" (please), but that's hardly an excuse. So, poor little Tomo will simply have to-
"Tomo!" Nakago!
"Yes, sir?'
"Don't disgrace Seiyru"
Hah! Nakago even expects Tomo to fail! I consider this a done dea-
"Don't let me down"
"Yes, sir."
Aaah! The nerve! Oooh! I'll be sure to show that pansy-doll a thing or two when it's my turn. Nakago will simply be begging for me! Mwahahaha! Oh my, that was a lovely evil-laugh .*giggles*
Tomo
6:35 PM
That is quite the interesting face Soi is putting on. Does she believe herself worthy of the great Captian, simply because she has mastered a few, er, "techniques" that I had not the training for?
Nuriko
6:36 PM
These guys are freaks. Oh! Look! Aisle 5, fresh produce and bottled water! The one, the glorious, Emperor! That's it, look my way, darling-
"Suzaku-Seishi!"
"Huh? Oh, what is it Tomo?'
"Our act? What can we do for our act?"
"Uh, mime?"
"Well ,"*looks down condescendingly* ", you may certainly try, as for me, though, I'd prefer something mildly suggestive-tiltilating-fanservice eyecatcher"
*Glances at Hotohori* "You have my full attention."
Yui
7:10 PM
What is it with these people! I tell you, it takes twenty minutes just to get one decent act out of them! If they don't start soon, I'm just gonna call it a night. Or maybe I could get a head start on all that extra homework...
"FLICK!"
Hey! Who turned the light off!
"Hey Suboshi, Ambiboshi, what are you doing with those flashlights?"
"SHHHHHHH!"
*Spotlight on a one bustier-and-garter-and-boa clad Tomo*
"Hey sister-go-sister-go-sister-go-sister-go-sister"
Nuriko! Oh my gosh those fishnets look just like-
"She put on rouge while he freshened up!"
Tomo: "go-sister-go-sister-go-sister-go-sister-"
Nuriko:"That boy drank all that Magnolia wine-"
Ugh. Oh no! Chirikio can't know what this song is about!
'Uh, Chirikio, about this song..."
"Yeah, I know.'
"WHAT?!"
"They're diqualified. This is charades, after all.
*another giant pratfall*
Mitsuake
7:12 PM
"Miaka! Miaka, are you Ok? Wake up!"
Nuriko
11:50 AM
It had been a confusing day for Miaka. She had thought that since today was the last day before spring break, her professors would go easy on her (and at least let her bring some snacks in...).

"Whah?" Huh? Sorry, what's going on? Crap, she looks angry, better pull over.
"You just drove right by my lunch!" *looming* "You must die!"

To the back of the van, apparantly. I caught up to him just as he opened the emergency exit. In the face of on-coming traffic, he was heard to yell "I can see the whites of their eyes!". I saw him move towards his breeches, but I was too late. Pulling him back, he uttered towards me the strongest stream of curses ever let forth. Made me feel sort of special.
However, as any student of physics can quickly surmise, once the "stream" was issued forth (the looks of terror upon the drivers' faces such as I have never beheld before), Tatsuki was pulled backwards. This caused a very unfortunate incidence to befall Tatsuki.
"Slimy piece 'o s****, made me wet my f****** pants, you son of a-"
(-Note: as I have deemed them highly inappropriate, I have since forth edited all content that issues from that great maw of Tatsuki's.)
Yui
2:00 PM
Crud. Everyone is together allright, but all the Seiyru are huddled together at the back of the van, while the Suzaku are in the middle. This sucks! Not like I can depend on Miaka or anything. She's all cozy with Tamahome, and at the same time eyeing the "Pure-Grain Sugar" bag lustfully. Yuck.
Come to think of it, it is totally unfair that SHE gets true love. I mean, I'm smarter, prettier, and have suffered more emotional angst than her. By all shojo-romance standards, I should have someone like Tamahome (though not actually him. That kid cannot kiss, and Nakago agrees. Wait a minute! How does Nakago...).
Miaka's babling on about pink marshmallow fluff again.
"Y'know, me and a certain other blondie report Tama ain't all that great when it comes to-"
"WHAH?!!"
I just detest conversations about pink marshmallow fluff.
But back to me! It's not like I can relay on Tetsuya or anything. Not exactly the knight in shinging armour, know what I mean? Heck, at this point I'd even settle for a pansy wannabe-samurai. He's never there, and those sunglasses are denting by pretty (NOT cosmetically enhanced, take that Soi!) little nose whenever we do kiss. Sod-sucker!
5:41 PM
Oh, what is it with these people?! What's the point in a hiking trip in the first place if you don't even talk to one another! SOMETHING must be done!
Miaka
5:43 PM
"SOMETHING must be done!" I roared. Oh, look at the look on Yui's face. Bet she wishes she'd thought of that!
"We're wasting this great oppertunity! What's the point in a hiking trip in the first place if you don't even talk to one another?"
"Maybe we should play a game?" Suboshi offered tentativly
"Yes! Yes, that's a great idea! Now, what did you have in mind?"
*glancing hopefully at Amboshi* "Spin the bottle?"
Everyone: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
6:00 PM
Ok, we've finally decided on a friendly, age-appropriate, time honored classic: Charades! The trip takes two days anyway, and if we can get through the rest of the first one, then I'm the best! Go me! I've divided the group up as follows:
Tamahome + Nakago
Miaka + Yui (yes!)
Chichiri + Miboshi
Nuriko + Tomo
Mitsuake + Soi
Hotohori + Ashitare
Tatsuke + Amiboshi
Chirikio + Suboshi
Personally, I'm a little scared of pairing EVERYBODY with members of the oppsing country's but, y'know, happened a long time ago, blah blah, inter-dimension communication crap,...doughnuts....I know there was some doughnuts here...
"Ok everybody, first off is Tam-" Hold it. Isn't Nakago the only other "blondie" that Tama knows?
"Alright people, change in schedule, it's Yui and Nak-"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Oh, hello Yui, you sure do sound different when you whisper"
"I am NOT being paired up with him!"
"Well, you certainly didn't mind me last lifetime." A dangerous voice spoke from behind up. Uh-oh.
Nakago
6:14 PM
Hah. It was an absolute waste coming on this trip. Though, 'twas funny to see the little man with sunglasses bribe me to let him listen in on the other line.
"Thanks, man, you're a real pal."
"Not a problem, Tetsuya."
"At least you won't be going."
"I have every intention of going."
"WHAT? Why!?"
"Simply so that I can f*** her, ******s****d*****a***v**dog*****t****was******mother, and then see the look on your face when she moves in with me."
Of course, the look he was giving me right then was perfectly enough to satisfy me, but, I do love a challenge. Or rather, just another chance to be a b******.
(-Note: Oh dear! And here I was thinking I would simply need to censure Tatsuki! Dreadfully sorry for for any offense this might have caused! I really would like to post this as a PG-13 piece!)
Fine, if she wouldn't pair with me, then-
"Lifetime! What Lifetime?! Where? I simply adore that channel!'
Oh Nuriko, you silly little-
"What? Me too! Hey, did you see that episode of the Golden Girls where Blanche goes out with a student who-"
"Had a mother-complex! Yeah, that's my favorite one!"
Yui
6: 16 PM
I cannot believe the nerve of Miaka! How dare she try to set me up with blondie-butt (not that I would know about "that" mind, you...). At least we avoided Nakago eating us alive, as Nuriko and Tomo have him thouroughly distracted in a conversation about old-lady-dating-dynamics (why would Nakago find this intersting? Hmmm...).
"Ok, everybody, let's start this thing!" *glances at the list* "Chichiri and Miboshi, you guys are up first!"
Chichiri
6:19 PM
At first I was quite apprehensive. I'd only seen this "Miboshi" through time travel. Back then he had the body of a child monk that he possessed, so I really didn't know what he would look like.
Hot, apparently. This gorgeous thing drove Chirikio to commit sucicide? Wow... (however, I am now feeling very grateful that I am not gay, because if not...).
We were alotted 2 minutes to come up with an idea. He just stared at me. Maybe he had a sore throat? Well, that's what I thought...
When our turn came we continued staring at each other (very uncomfortable) untill suddenly
"WHAM!"
He lunged for my throat and began to strangle me! F****** freak! As Ashitare pulled me away from the deranged bishounen, Miaka cried out "London Bridge!". Yeah, whatever, floozy.
Miboshi
6:20 PM That was lovely! I should do that again sometime! Give it up for Seiyru's evilest seishi!
Miaka
6:25 PM
This is going so well! I know I've said so before, but I feel I must congradulate myself again. I'm so cool! Which reminds me, I know the "Cool Ranch" dip is around here somewhere...
Haha! You are mine, Sweet 'n Crunchy! All mine! *Gobble* *Slurp*
6:31 PM
Uh-oh, why is everyone staring at me?
"Miaka?"
"Yeah, Chirikio?'
"Whose next?"
*giant pratfall*
Soi
6:32 PM
"Ok,people, back to buissness! Nuriko and Tomo, you're up next!"
That fool priestess, does she actually expect her antics to work? The only good part about this trip is Tomo will have to face once and for all that Nakago is mine! Who does that jerk think he is anyway? While I was out working the dangerous streets of Tokyo (to be rescued by my wonderous captian, of course) all that little creep had to endure was his dad's unnatural obscession for facial tatoos. I mean, the man was a tatoo "artist" (please), but that's hardly an excuse. So, poor little Tomo will simply have to-
"Tomo!" Nakago!
"Yes, sir?'
"Don't disgrace Seiyru"
Hah! Nakago even expects Tomo to fail! I consider this a done dea-
"Don't let me down"
"Yes, sir."
Aaah! The nerve! Oooh! I'll be sure to show that pansy-doll a thing or two when it's my turn. Nakago will simply be begging for me! Mwahahaha! Oh my, that was a lovely evil-laugh .*giggles*
Tomo
6:35 PM
That is quite the interesting face Soi is putting on. Does she believe herself worthy of the great Captian, simply because she has mastered a few, er, "techniques" that I had not the training for?
Nuriko
6:36 PM
These guys are freaks. Oh! Look! Aisle 5, fresh produce and bottled water! The one, the glorious, Emperor! That's it, look my way, darling-
"Suzaku-Seishi!"
"Huh? Oh, what is it Tomo?'
"Our act? What can we do for our act?"
"Uh, mime?"
"Well ,"*looks down condescendingly* ", you may certainly try, as for me, though, I'd prefer something mildly suggestive-tiltilating-fanservice eyecatcher"
*Glances at Hotohori* "You have my full attention."
Yui
7:10 PM
What is it with these people! I tell you, it takes twenty minutes just to get one decent act out of them! If they don't start soon, I'm just gonna call it a night. Or maybe I could get a head start on all that extra homework...
"FLICK!"
Hey! Who turned the light off!
"Hey Suboshi, Ambiboshi, what are you doing with those flashlights?"
"SHHHHHHH!"
*Spotlight on a one bustier-and-garter-and-boa clad Tomo*
"Hey sister-go-sister-go-sister-go-sister-go-sister"
Nuriko! Oh my gosh those fishnets look just like-
"She put on rouge while he freshened up!"
Tomo: "go-sister-go-sister-go-sister-go-sister-"
Nuriko:"That boy drank all that Magnolia wine-"
Ugh. Oh no! Chirikio can't know what this song is about!
'Uh, Chirikio, about this song..."
"Yeah, I know.'
"WHAT?!"
"They're diqualified. This is charades, after all.
*another giant pratfall*
Mitsuake
7:12 PM
"Miaka! Miaka, are you Ok? Wake up!"
