Different Time Different Space
Alternative Universe. So what happened if Kai and Riku were alive during the eighteen hundreds? What if Diva was never locked away and used as an experiment? What if the two sets of siblings met?
AN: Well it's time to make my first appearance to this section, for those who weren't familiar with my work, I'm a Humor writer – with my work is a bit on the cheeky side of things. So if you're ever in a foul mood from reading to much angst or you watch an Episode of Blood+ that made you sad, then you can turn to OniiSama here to lighten your spirits.
Here's the Key:
Place
"Speech"
'Thought'
"'Someone Quoting another'"
With the untimely death of their parents Kai and Riku were to be sent to live with their Godfather, Joel.
The brothers were packing away their possessions that they were planning on bringing with them when Riku spoke up.
"So Kai, what is Joel's mansion is like?"
"Huh, that's right you were still a baby when we visited, just like now." Kai proceeded to ruffle Riku's hair.
Batting Kai's hand away Riku asked more forcefully "I'm serious! What is Joel's mansion like?"
"It was pretty nice, but I spent most of my time outside. There were a lot of different plants and animals, you liked it too."
"What else?"
"There were these really bratty sisters. I didn't care much for them and visa-versa. They seemed to like you just fine though. But you were just a toddler; you really couldn't do much to get them angry."
"What were they like?"
"I guess bratty is an understatement. They were downright selfish and evil. One time they did something I didn't like so I threw a mud ball at one of them, it got on her dress. You know what she did? She spanked me, pretty hard too."
"Sh-She hit you?!" Riku looked like he was just told there was a mass puppy genocide.
"Yea, I didn't have any feeling in my bottom for an entire week."
Riku just gulped.
"But that was like eleven years ago. I'm sure that time mellowed them out."
Boy, was he wrong.
The Zoo – Joel's Room
"Joel, are we really going to have company?" Saya asked.
"Why yes. Remember Kai and Riku?"
"Wasn't that boy named Kai, I didn't like him too much." Diva said.
"Yes, he was a foul mannered child." Saya chipped in.
"Now-now, I'm sure he's changed. And besides, whether you two like it or not he's going to be here to stay. Is that understood?"
"Yes Sir." Diva and Saya said simultaneously.
"Good. They should be here in a few days and I expect for both of you to be on your best behavior."
Kai and Riku's Home
Riku had gone off to bed after hearing a few more horror stories from Kai.
Riku's Dream
There were to female figures both wearing identical dresses, one was red and the other was blue.
Both figures seemed to tower over the young lad.
"I want you to shine my shoes." The figure in red said as she bent down, smiling a cruel smile.
"And after that, I want you to wash my dress." The figure in blue also bent down with the same cruel smile.
"B-But-"
"Is he talking back to us?" Asked the figure in blue.
"I think so." Replied the figure in red.
And at the same time, both said as their smiles and eyes grew wider "He needs to be punished."
The figure in red pulled out a paddle.
And the figure in blue pulled out a whip.
"N-No, please don't" Riku sobbed as he tried to shield himself with his arms.
The sisters gave an evil cackle as they reached for the boy.
Outside of Riku's Dream
Kai was standing over Riku and had been trying to wake him up for a few minutes as it was morning and soon they had to be ready to go.
"NOOO!" Riku screamed as he shot up out of bed, head-butting Kai right in the face.
Kai stumbled backward and then fell right on his butt.
"Ouch."
"Kai, I'm so sorry!" Riku rushed over to his fallen elder brother.
"It's okay, I'm fine. But we need to be ready to go, Joel's carriage is suppose to be here soon."
"Oh, that's right!" Riku grabbed all his packed belongings and headed downstairs, forgetting about Kai.
Outside the Brother's Home
It had been twenty minutes when Kai and Riku saw a carriage coming towards them.
"It's time." Kai said.
When the carriage came to a stop, the coachman asked if they were the (much to their displeasure) young boys he was meant to pick up. After telling him that they were indeed the young men the coachman gave a hearty chuckle and let them on.
In The Carriage
"Kai, I'm scared." Riku said as he looked down at his hands.
Putting his arm around Riku's shoulder Kai replied "Don't be. I'll be there so nothing will go wrong."
"What about those girls you mentioned?"
"Who? Them? Like I said they've probably mellowed out by now. And if you try something with you then I can always set aside my no-fighting-girls policy." Kai gave Riku one of those reassuring grins he was so famous for.
This seemed to work.
The Zoo – Entrance
After the two had exited the carriage with their belongings the coachman pulled away.
An elderly man came to greet them. "It's been awhile and you two certainly gave grown."
"Hello Mr. Goldschmidt."
"My, you're much more mannered then before. I remember you use to call me 'Old Man'"
"Yea, a lots changed."
"And I see that Riku has certainly grown."
"Hello Mr. Goldschmidt."
"And well mannered as well, Saya and Diva will be pleased to hear this."
"Saya and Diva?"
"Yes, I'm sure that Kai's told you about them."
"He's just referred to them as 'Ice Queen' and the 'Fiery Bi-'"
"Riku!" Kai interrupted.
Joel laughed. "You might not want to call them those names to their faces."
"So are all the stories true?" Riku asked
"Stories?" Joel asked in return.
"Kai has told me a lot of stories about them."
"I've tried explaining to Riku that they've probably changed."
"No, they're the same as every. Oh, look. Here they come."
Riku became as stiff as a bored.
Just then Saya and Diva walked up to the three.
"Joel, who are these two?" Saya asked.
"This is Kai and Riku."
"But I remember a child and a toddler." Diva said.
"They've grown."
Kai didn't notice at first the sisters where exactly the same as before, it's like they didn't age.
Saya walked up to Kai with a frown on her face. She just stared at him.
Diva walked up to Riku and knelt down a little to look him straight in the eye. She smiled at him.
Kai returned Saya's frown with one of his own.
Riku just stood there still stiff but now with a slight blush.
Joel decided to go and get someone to help with the boys' belongings.
Just then Kai spoke. "Brat" Saya responded my slapping him across the face, causing him to fall over.
"My, you've certainly become a cutie." Diva said before she leaned forward to bring Riku into a hug. This caused the young boy to give an "Eeep."
A few minutes had passed.
Kai was sitting on the ground.
Saya was still staring at him with discontent.
Riku was still in Diva's embrace, now bright red.
And Diva with still smiling, happy with how things were.
Joel returned with a servant. Looking over at Saya and Kai, he guessed what happened. Then he looked over at Diva and Riku and saw what was going on.
Just then, Diva had released Riku and stood next to him.
"Well I guess I should show you to your rooms." Joel said as he gestured for the servant to get the boys' belongings.
Kai stood up to walk over to Joel. Saya walked off.
When Riku went to walk over to Kai and Joel, he felt someone grab his hand. It was Diva, she intertwined he fingers with his. And this caused Riku's blush to return.
The Zoo – Hallway
"Your rooms will be over here, right across from each other. Kai, your room is next to Saya's. While Riku, yours is next to Diva's. If you want, I'll show you two the rest of the mansion."
Taking this time Diva spoke. "I'll show Riku around!" And just then she pulled Riku away.
AN: I know I made Diva's personality different from the series but that's to be expected. Without the lousy upbringing Diva would definitely be different.
And I'm not planning to write that much romance (If any at all), it'll be mostly comedy with some fluff, that's it.
Nothing left to say except, Review. Least ye suffer the wrath of my army of Savage Man-Eating Geckos.
