An Unlikely Pair
Chou (super) Disclaimer: Yes! Yes I own Snk and all of their characters and games and licenses! Go ahead! Sue me! I don't have moneyyyy! Hmhmhm heh heh heh HAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! (Stops and turns to Iori) "Hey....was that good?" (Iori nods and gives him the A-okay sign, then narrows his eyes) "Don't ever do it again! I won't hesitate to kill you!" (Derek's eyes widen) "Eh..hehhh...on..on..onto th-the f-fic!"
It was a cool, peaceful night, but back in Iori's apartment, It seemed that a certain someone was having a nightmare. Iori was tossing and turning in his bed a pillow clutched closely to him in a death grip. " Mmm Kyooo....AH!" Iori shot up with sweat drizzling down his face like a
spring shower. "What the hell was that!?!?" Iori shook his head and rubbed his eyes "Was I just dreaming about that bastard Kusanagi and.......pheh foolishness...but for the past week he's been in three of my dreams....nightmares...hmph. Tomorrow morning..(Iori looked at the clock)....this morning, I'll find him and finally kill him. He won't get away anymore! Hahahhaahhahaha and yet.." Iori's mind told him to halt his tongue before he said something he'd regret. "Hmph....just stupid...." Iori breathed a sigh that seemed to cut the air and slumped back onto his pillow, drifting back to sleep without the presence of anymore of these "distractions."
The sun had just returned from its wordly trip, and its rays wandered lazily over Iori's right eye. Iori just turned over and yawned, sitting up and stretching. "Mm...morning! Hm?..The sun..reminds me of Kusanagi...." He found himself uttering this in an unusually happy tone, but he quickly gave himself an excuse. "Haha...Kusanagi, enjoy the golden sunshine while you can, for your eyes will be covered with crimson curtains-({No he's not an interior decorator! I mean
blood!})-when I am finished with you! Hehhehehehheh HAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Iori cleaned up and got dressed quickly, wolfing down his breakfast, which he barely took the time to prepare properly. At this rate, he'd die from too much raw meat before he even got the chance to kill Kyo!
"Well....my finest hour begins" Iori chuckled and headed for the door, his opening of it
revealing the object of his affection instead of a path to Kyo Kusanagi. Leona smiled and jumped on him in a hug and kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Hi Iori! Thought I'd get an early start on our day!" (Our day!?!?) The words, an avalanche of disappointment, buried his chances of enjoying himself today.
(But....I need to...kill......kuso!) Iori tried to slip out of it.
"Uh...what day?" Leona pushed off of him and frowned, shaking her finger in a scolding manner, "Yagami! Don't tell me you forgot!" (Well she can't take a hint..hmph) Iori cracked a small smile "Of course I didn't! I was...coming to look for you! I'm...sorry I guess.." Iori gave her a small kiss, wondering why he felt this way about anyone, why he'd changed. Leona perked back up with a sly smile.. "Sorry you guess eh? Wellll....I suppose I can forgive you this time, but you're lucky you can persuade me!"
Iori shot her an unamused look, not intimidating Leona in the least. "Yea...what is it you are wanting to do today hm?" Leona pondered for a moment, then clinged onto his arm. "We can walk for a while and enjoy the morning sun if you want, I just want to be with you today Yagami!" Iori smirked "Good, because I wasn't planning on doing much else..heh heh" Leona raised an eyebrow and smiled, unlocking one of her arms to punch Iori in the stomach playfully. (Well....just not with enough force to kill him actually) "Nani? What was that Iori?" She yanked him out the door and down the stairs into the morn's light. "Comon smartass, let's go."
Yagami winced at the sun's undying persistance to bother him today. "Damn...did we have to leave so early?" Iori rubbed his eyes while Leona scolded him. "Hey! You were leaving just as I came up to your apartment Yagami, so don't whine! Hey...don't tell me you tried to forget!"
"Rrr...Muda na agaki da." (Trans: It's Useless!) "So I've been caught..I didn't have the blessing of much sleep last night. So I wanted a day to myself eh?" Leona grinned and leaned upwards, kissing his forhead, his bangs tickling her cheek as she turned and came back down. "Aww poor baby!" She snickered and laid her head on his shoulder.
Iori hmphed and was about to reply when he peered up and saw his obstructed goal munching happily at his breakfast. The sight of him brought about an odd shocking sensation in his chest, causing him to jump with a yelp. "Ah!" Leona jumped too, suprised. "Doushita!?..Oh? It's just Kusanagi-kun! Don't scare me like that!" ( {Doushita!?} Trans: What's wrong!?) Iori scratched his head and mumbled. "Yea...It's just Kusanagi. So what the hell was that feeling?!" Leona was too busy keeeping her heart from exploding to notice. Kyo turned in the direction of the yelp as he took another bite of his breakfast, his eyes widening when they locked on to Iori. "..Yagami!" Kyo gulped in fear, a fear that was quickly supresses when he caught sight of Leona. Innocently thinking that Iori wouldn't pull anything while she was around, he smiled, stood up, and walked over to the pair.
Kyo beamed a large smile (Yes, anime style, arch eyes and all) and spoke up. "Hello Leona! Hi..Iori!" Leona returned the smile and happily replied. "Morning Kyo! How are you?" Kyo continued to smile. "Wonderful! What about you hmm?" "Never better!" "That's great!.... How..erm..about you Yagami- kun?" Kyo daringly questioned, knowing that last little bit could get him a punch in the face. Iori narrowed his and growled, a smirk slowly forming on his face. "It's really a beautiful morning! A great day to die Kusanagi, but do you really wish to go so soon?!" {or early in the morning...whatever} Kyo's eyes widened "Hehhhh I'll just take that as just fine..." Iori grinned malevolently and formed a flame in his hand. "Anata shinu wa, Kusanagi!" (Trans: You're gonna die, Kusanagi!)
He was about to swing when Leona stepped between them, halting Iori, whos flame then dispersed. "Nani?..What are you doing!? Get out of the way!" Leona crossed her arms. "Iori, every time you set eyes on him you try to kill him! Calm down! Try being nice to Kyo for a change instead of beating him to a pulp!" Kyo sweatdropped and muttered, "Thanks, Leona.." Iori swiftly turned around and folded his arms against his chest, feeling better for a moment until he felt the warm crimson rushing to his cheeks. (I'm blushing!? Why!?) Frustrated, he stomped apace (quickly -.-;) to a nearby tree, and sat down, deciding to let Kyo live for now. "Hmph...fools." He then sighed and tipped his head back against the trunk of the tree, closing his eyes and listening in. Leona sighed and Kyo was just smiling. "Aww..It's alright Leona, he really doesn't mean all that." Iori twitched as Kyo's comment danced into his ears. (Nani kuso!? I do so mean it with all my soul!)
Leona raised an eyebrow "Err...whatever you say Kyo. He can just be so unpleasant at times, but when you get him alone, he actually quite nice, even gentle." (WHAT!?! How dare you! Shut up! Shut up! I'm not like that..am I!?) He contemplated opon jumping up and dealing them both a painful death, but gradually calmed down. Kyo laughed nervously and sweatdropped. "Well he sure does a great job of hiding it." Leona laughed but stopped when she noticed Kyo blush. She raised and eyebrow and then dismissed it as nothing but normal Kyo behavior, continuing the conversation. "Say, speaking of arrogant behavior, where's Benimaru?" Kyo laughed and then ran his fingers through his hair. "Beni-kun? He's still sleeping." Leona smirked "Wore him out last night did you?"
Kyo blushed profusely and looked at the ground in embarrassment. "Leonaaa.." Kyo wimpered, remembering last night. (Iori heard this and laughed out loud, smacking his fist against the tree, which was enough to shake an apple from it, which plummeted to his head. (Let's just pretend there's apples in Japan! Okay!?! {glowers at everyone, who nod their heads in fear})
Iori growled and rubbed his head, picking up the apple. "Itai.." ({Itai} Trans: {That hurt or ouch}) He narrowed his eyes at the apple. "Sugu raku ni shite yaru.." ({Sugu raku ni shite yaru} Trans: {I will make this quick and easy}) Iori bit into the doomed fruit and munched away happily.
Leona saw this and slapped her forhead "Honestly.." Kyo laughed, then yelped as he ducked an apple core, which blazed past his head. Leona just frowned and shouted, " Ora! (T:comon!) Cut it out Iori!" This only got a shrug and a snicker from Iori. (Damn...almost took his head off too...I'm fine..that blush was a mistake...I was just suprised because of that dream..nothing more..) Leona returned him an annoyed look. "Well Kyo, since Iori has decided to be a complete JERK today, why don't you come along to keep me company?" Kyo pondered this for a moment, reviewing the risks of being with Iori without a controlled environment, (or the ring if you will) and smiled with a wink. "Sure! Who knows, maybe I can break him and show him I'm not so bad after all! Hahahahaha!"
A near-rabid Yagami clenched his fists. "Shimatta! (T:dammit!) Not only to I have to be around him...I can't kill him! (It's not so bad....wait, what am I thinking?!) Iori stood up and narrowed his eyes. Death-glaring at Kyo through his bangs, he shoved his hands into his pockets and walked towards him. "Glad you could join us again!" Muttered an annoyed Leona. "The pleasure is all yours.." Retorted an equally annoyed Iori. He turned to Kyo, grabbing him by the collar. "One smart comment, you're dead. Look at me the wrong way, I kill you. Cross me just one time, and--"
Kyo cut in with a cute smile, stopping Iori long enough to interject a comment. "I'm no more?"
Iori started like he was about to yell, but calmed down and dropped him with a sigh. "Yes.."
Leona grinned and waved her finger in a scolding fashion. "Now now boys.." She looked Iori in the eye and winked, putting extra emphasis on boys. She laughed and put herself between them, wrapping an arm around each's waist. "Let's go now, alright?" She and Kyo began walking, Iori reluctantly keeping up. Iori sighed and muttered, "Let's go to the store...I could use a large bottle of Tequila.." Kyo laughed and looked over at him. "Don't be stupid! It's only..(Kyo "hmm"ed as he checked his watch, which was given to him by Iori to remind him of upcoming battles) 10:30!" (Kyo expected the worst, realizing what he had said)
Iori saw the watch and turned slightly red, fixing his gaze back opon the ground. Wondering why Kyo had kept it, he looked at him out of the corner of his eye and questioned him. "Why do you still have that old thing?" Kyo shrugged "Hmm..I dunno..sentimental value I guess!" Iori felt the warmth in his cheeks again and jolted his head in the opposite direction of Kyo's eyes, which seemed to be studying him. He Pretended to notice something interesting. Kyo turned his head and grinned, seeing that Iori was not taking pleasure in being toyed with like that.
"Err.nevermind that!.(Leona blurted)..Heyyy Yagami-chan..why are you blushing?" Leona was grinning ear to ear as well, taking much pleasure in this session of teasing.
Iori came up with the best excuse he could. "I felt embarrassed that I bought him a damn Rolex instead of killing him on the spot!" He seemed to reply in this way only becuase he felt vulnerable to Kyo's cute poking. It was Leona's turn again. "A Rolex? Why..Yagami you never gave me anything so expensive..I wonder what that means..hehehehe." Iori just growled. These quips kept up until Kyo's cell rang, It was Benimaru wondering where he was. "Well guys, looks like I'm going to go. Ja ne!" (T: Seeya) He smiled and turned, walking back to his apartment. "Ja!" Leona shouted after him, while Iori kept silent, not knowing what would slip out of his confused self if he spoke.
Leona sighed and shook her head. "I just dont see why you two can't get along!" She sighed again and hugged Iori's arm, whos reply wasn't angry, just annoyed. "I'll tell you why, as the last surviving member of the Yagami Clan, It is my sole purpose to kill him!" Iori didn't know why he said that, he didn't give a damn what his father told him to do. (Well that was a stupid thing to say..no one controls me!) "Oh please Yagami, that is just some stupid objective your father set before you!"
Iori winced at the thought of his father, as a tsunami of childhood memories skimmed past him. Iori shuddered and spoke softly "Leona..don't.." Leona realized what she had said and blushed in embarassment. "Oh..Iori-kun I'm sorry! I didn't mean to.." Iori straightened up and began walking again,flashing a brief smile. "What are you talking about? I was about to tell you not to walk so slowly." (Almost screwed up again..) Leona projected a confused gaze finally replying. "Okay..I guess." (It's useless..she knows...) Leona felt sorry for him, that he always had to cover up his true feelings like that. The two of them spent the rest of the day talking,arguing,kissing, and arguing some more.
As Iori was covering up his little emotional "slip," Kyo had reached his apartment and had opened the door, stepping inside. Benimaru looked up from a suitcase he was packing and walked over to Kyo, putting his arms around him and kissing him. "Hi Kyo!" Kyo kissed back and smiled. "Hi Beni-kun!" He then scratched his head and raised an eyebrow. "Uhm..what's with all the luggage, hmmm?" Benimaru went back to the luggaged and started packing again. "Kyo didn't I tell you that I was going to visit my parents for a week?" Kyo wore a disappointed look and shook his head. "Aww..I'm sorry Kyo- kun I must have forgotten to tell you.." Kyo perked up and smiled "That's okay Benimaru..but what am I going to do while you're gone!? I'll be so bored.."
Benimaru grinned and made a comment which Kyo would immediately notice as a jest. "Why don't you bother Yagami? Heh, just don't get yourself killed!" He laughed and finished packing, standing up with a "phew!"
Kyo, taking Benimaru seriously, lit up with a grin. "That's a great idea Beni! I'll stay at his place for a while! Maybe I can get him to be nice in the process! It's the perfect opportunity!" While Kyo grinned proudly and flashed the "victory" sign, Benimaru's eyes widened. "Nani!? Kyo, I know you aren't crazy but aren't you being a bit....NOT SANE!?!? I was only kidding!" Kyo just chuckled. "It's alright Beni-kun! Besides..what if Shingo found out I was alone for a whole week!? He'd be over in a flash, and he'd never leave! I think the possibility of dying is better than having to live through a week of an annoying person asking you to teach them everything you know! Imagine it Beni, 7 days of Kusanagi-san this and Kyo-sempai that..(he shuddered mid sentence) ahh! I dont think I could manage all that!"
Benimaru, imagining that scenario, sweatdropped. "Scary...alright Kyo I see what you mean, just watch your back! How the hell do you expect to convince him to room with you? I mean, unless he gets the idea of killing you in your sleep, he's not going to-" Kyo found himself defending Iori as he interjected his opinion. "Beni-kun...Yagami isn't like that,umm..what I mean is that he isn't a coward. If he's going to kill me, he'll at least kill me face to face.
At any rate, if he had really wanted to do me in, he would have completed that task long ago.
Benimaru sighed. "I suppose.." he then continued with a grin "Just remember to behave while I'm gone alright?(wink)I know that you are irresistable, and you know it as well. So you just keep that in mind." Kyo blushed and grinned, then saw Benimaru to the door and kissed him goodbye, recieving a warm response, accompanied by a warm smile. "Aishiteru (T: I love you) Kyo- chan!"Kyo smiled "Aishiteru Beni-kun!" While Benimaru plodded out the door and out to his car, Kyo had ran to the window and started to wave as Benimaru drove off, an interesting week settling to the ground with the dust his car had left behind in its tracks.
End of Chapter 1: Well hell helllll.... Quite interesting indeed...MWAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAH *ahem* Anyway, Will Kyo call Iori!? If so, what the hell's Iori gonna say? Will Joan Rivers ever stop getting face lifts!? Find out in the next chapter! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Chou (super) Disclaimer: Yes! Yes I own Snk and all of their characters and games and licenses! Go ahead! Sue me! I don't have moneyyyy! Hmhmhm heh heh heh HAAAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! (Stops and turns to Iori) "Hey....was that good?" (Iori nods and gives him the A-okay sign, then narrows his eyes) "Don't ever do it again! I won't hesitate to kill you!" (Derek's eyes widen) "Eh..hehhh...on..on..onto th-the f-fic!"
It was a cool, peaceful night, but back in Iori's apartment, It seemed that a certain someone was having a nightmare. Iori was tossing and turning in his bed a pillow clutched closely to him in a death grip. " Mmm Kyooo....AH!" Iori shot up with sweat drizzling down his face like a
spring shower. "What the hell was that!?!?" Iori shook his head and rubbed his eyes "Was I just dreaming about that bastard Kusanagi and.......pheh foolishness...but for the past week he's been in three of my dreams....nightmares...hmph. Tomorrow morning..(Iori looked at the clock)....this morning, I'll find him and finally kill him. He won't get away anymore! Hahahhaahhahaha and yet.." Iori's mind told him to halt his tongue before he said something he'd regret. "Hmph....just stupid...." Iori breathed a sigh that seemed to cut the air and slumped back onto his pillow, drifting back to sleep without the presence of anymore of these "distractions."
The sun had just returned from its wordly trip, and its rays wandered lazily over Iori's right eye. Iori just turned over and yawned, sitting up and stretching. "Mm...morning! Hm?..The sun..reminds me of Kusanagi...." He found himself uttering this in an unusually happy tone, but he quickly gave himself an excuse. "Haha...Kusanagi, enjoy the golden sunshine while you can, for your eyes will be covered with crimson curtains-({No he's not an interior decorator! I mean
blood!})-when I am finished with you! Hehhehehehheh HAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Iori cleaned up and got dressed quickly, wolfing down his breakfast, which he barely took the time to prepare properly. At this rate, he'd die from too much raw meat before he even got the chance to kill Kyo!
"Well....my finest hour begins" Iori chuckled and headed for the door, his opening of it
revealing the object of his affection instead of a path to Kyo Kusanagi. Leona smiled and jumped on him in a hug and kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Hi Iori!

"Why do you still have that old thing?" Kyo shrugged "Hmm..I dunno..sentimental value I guess!"

"Err.nevermind that!.(Leona blurted)..Heyyy Yagami-chan..why are you blushing?" Leona was grinning ear to ear as well, taking much pleasure in this session of teasing.
Iori came up with the best excuse he could. "I felt embarrassed that I bought him a damn Rolex instead of killing him on the spot!" He seemed to reply in this way only becuase he felt vulnerable to Kyo's cute poking. It was Leona's turn again. "A Rolex? Why..Yagami you never gave me anything so expensive..I wonder what that means..hehehehe." Iori just growled. These quips kept up until Kyo's cell rang, It was Benimaru wondering where he was. "Well guys, looks like I'm going to go. Ja ne!" (T: Seeya) He smiled and turned, walking back to his apartment. "Ja!" Leona shouted after him, while Iori kept silent, not knowing what would slip out of his confused self if he spoke.

Kyo, taking Benimaru seriously, lit up with a grin. "That's a great idea Beni! I'll stay at his place for a while! Maybe I can get him to be nice in the process! It's the perfect opportunity!" While Kyo grinned proudly and flashed the "victory" sign, Benimaru's eyes widened. "Nani!? Kyo, I know you aren't crazy but aren't you being a bit....NOT SANE!?!? I was only kidding!" Kyo just chuckled. "It's alright Beni-kun! Besides..what if Shingo found out I was alone for a whole week!? He'd be over in a flash, and he'd never leave! I think the possibility of dying is better than having to live through a week of an annoying person asking you to teach them everything you know! Imagine it Beni, 7 days of Kusanagi-san this and Kyo-sempai that..(he shuddered mid sentence) ahh! I dont think I could manage all that!"
Benimaru, imagining that scenario, sweatdropped. "Scary...alright Kyo I see what you mean, just watch your back! How the hell do you expect to convince him to room with you? I mean, unless he gets the idea of killing you in your sleep, he's not going to-" Kyo found himself defending Iori as he interjected his opinion. "Beni-kun...Yagami isn't like that,umm..what I mean is that he isn't a coward. If he's going to kill me, he'll at least kill me face to face.
At any rate, if he had really wanted to do me in, he would have completed that task long ago.
Benimaru sighed. "I suppose.." he then continued with a grin "Just remember to behave while I'm gone alright?(wink)I know that you are irresistable, and you know it as well. So you just keep that in mind." Kyo blushed and grinned, then saw Benimaru to the door and kissed him goodbye, recieving a warm response, accompanied by a warm smile. "Aishiteru (T: I love you) Kyo- chan!"Kyo smiled "Aishiteru Beni-kun!" While Benimaru plodded out the door and out to his car, Kyo had ran to the window and started to wave as Benimaru drove off, an interesting week settling to the ground with the dust his car had left behind in its tracks.
