Author's Note: Back for more! This should be better than last time.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora or MeruPuri (I've only read the first volume, though, then got bored with it) or the epicness that is Kannazuki no Miko.
"The School Festival is in just a few days!" the sixteen-year-old Kuu Shiatori exclaimed to her friend Kozue as they rode the bus to school.
"I know!" Kozue enthused. "And whoever you dance with during the last dance of the School Festival will be your companion forever! Think about it! We can defy the incredibly low odds of marrying your high school sweetheart and having it work out! And no getting knocked up involved!"
"I think I'll ask that guy over there!" Kuu pointed at a random background character. "I'll confess my newfound love for him, and I'll conquer my shyness and low self-esteem, and we'll both live happily ever after, and go to college together, and get married, and have 2.5 perfect children, and grow old together, and die peacefully on the same night in the same bed in our home, and I'll stop having those fantasies about the smexy, pink-haired prince!"
"Three things." Kozue held up the corresponding number of fingers. "First, no one needed to know about that last part. Second, what you just described sounds like a really boring anime. Not enough conflict, you know? Even MeruPuri had the one older brother guy… And third, that random background character already has a girlfriend. Sorry…" Kozue gestured to the two background characters making out.
Kuu let loose a defeated sigh. "Well, I'll always have oji-sama…"
"And you'll always have me." Kozue glomped her friend. "If you can't find a man, I'll dance with you at the festival, if not to prevent you from telling me about your sick daydreams, then to help satisfy all the yuri fans who are only watching this because they thought they saw Himeko and Chikane in the opening credits!"
"Wow, Kozue, I'm lucky to have such a great friend!" Kuu returned her friend's embrace in a moment of yuri-ish fan service. "But wait… Who are Himeko and Chikane? And what opening credits are you talking about?"
"…Never mind, Kuu, don't worry about it…"
But Kuu's mind was already elsewhere. "Oh, yes, oji-sama! I'll go together with you! Anywhere! To the ends of the earth, my prince!"
"I would leave her here if I didn't think she'd get herself killed," Kozue sighed and remained silent for the rest of the ride.
