Hai!~ This is chapter two! I'm letting y'all know I'm going to be doing a second version of this story I got an idea for! The second version is going to be Nagikai, or NagihikoxKukai. I'm good at coming up with crack pairings, yes? XD Anyway, it'll be cute when I'm done with it, but for now: Chapter Two of Kukai in Wonderland!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
While Kukai was waking to get dressed and shower, Ikuto was doing the same. He, however, noticed the small egg on his bed much sooner than Kukai did. He looked over to the egg, but didn't take much time staring at it. He scooped it up and called for Yoru as he hopped onto the roof of his house before his mother came in looking for him. He took a closer look at the egg when he got on the roof. It was a deep purple, with a sort of magenta pink band going around the center with purple paw prints that seemed to look like a cat's going around the egg in the band of magenta. "Interesting Shugo Egg," he said to himself as he placed it in his violin case. Since he carried his violin everywhere with him, he usually placed Yoru's egg either in the case or his pocket, and this new egg he placed in his case. It did have a rather interesting design, and Ikuto wondered what his chara would be like. The blue-haired boy simply shrugged it off and grabbed his bag, which was resting on the roof, and headed off for school. He would think about this new egg later.
"Hey, Ikuto!" Ikuto's shugo chara, Yoru, called out to his owner, "Look over there! It's that kid… Souma! That's his name!" Yoru was flailing in the direction of a red-brown haired boy Ikuto recognized to be Souma Kukai, and he was looking at a Shugo Egg that was in his hand. "He's got a new one too, Ikuto!" As his eyes made contact with the egg, Ikuto smirked as a familiar set of dark blue cat ears and a tail showed he had just character changed. The tail was waving back and forth as Ikuto looked over to Kukai. "Interesting," Ikuto said to himself as he walked over to the younger boy with his usual smirk on his features. He silently crept up next to Kukai and leaned over his shoulder. "Boo," he said, laughing as Kukai jumped and almost dropped his egg.
"Ikuto!" Kukai screamed, now on a first-name basis with Ikuto because of the dream they shared, "Don't do that! You practically scared the living daylights out of me!" Then he did something Ikuto thought he'd never see outside of the dream. This cute little girly pout that Kukai had, and never really did in real life. "Honestly!" he said as he pouted, turning in the other direction, facing away from Ikuto.
"Aw, is little Alice made at me?" Ikuto said as he draped his arms over Kukai's shoulders. "I don't suppose giving you a simple apology will work, Kukai?" He chuckled as Kukai turned a bright shade of red before working his hands over Kukai's to take his egg and get a look at it. He chuckled at the little egg that was completely pastel colors, turning it over in his hands. "Aw, how cute is this?" he said, holding the egg up to Yoru, who laughed.
"Ikuto!" Kukai protested, holding his hand out with that cute little pout again, "Give it back!" The red-brown haired, first-year middle school student was giving Ikuto the look he only usually gave in the dream. A cute little look with that little pout that Ikuto found, for some weird reason, just unbearable and unable to resist. "Now!"
"Oh, you win," Ikuto said as he placed the egg in Kukai's extended hand, "You know I can't say know to that damned pout!" He sighed a little as he took his violin case off his shoulder and gently opened it to bring out his own egg. "I was just curious as to why the two of us got new eggs at the same time," he said, showing his egg to Kukai. "I think it may --"
"-- have something to do with the dream?" Kukai interrupted, "As much as I hate to say it, with the two of us getting the eggs at the same time, I think it's a high possibility." Kukai nodded a little, ignoring the confused look on Daichi's features, as well as Yoru's. "Let's talk about it in the dream tonight," Kukai said as he stashed his egg back in his bag, "We'll both be late for school at this rate, and I can't talk to you after school because I'm visiting the others."
"Very well, Alice," Ikuto joked as he stashed his egg and bent down to wrap his arms around the younger boy with a smirk as his tail was still swishing back and forth, "I'll see you tonight. Can I say 'It's a date'?" He smirked again when Kukai turned several different shades of pink and nuzzled Kukai's cheek, "Have fun with the kiddy king and his friends." With that, he walked off towards his own school, a smile on his face. "That was rather amusing," he said as his ears disappeared.
"Ikuto!" Yoru said, not liking being left out, "What's this dream that Souma kid talked about! Tell me! Tell me, Ikuto!" He tugged at the cloth of Ikuto's uniform, only to be grabbed by Ikuto and gently placed on his shoulder. "Come on, Ikuto! Tell me!"
"I'll tell you about it later, Yoru," Ikuto said with a smile as he stroked the top of Yoru's head with one finger as he walked to school, "but not now. Wait until after school, okay?"
_______________________*~*~*_____________________
After school, Kukai went to pay one of his ritual visits to the guardians at the Royal Garden at Seiyo academy. He was walking with Daichi, and had just finished telling his shugo chara about the dream he and Ikuto were talking about, trying to resist to shut his chara up in his egg, as Daichi wouldn't stop laughing. "It's not funny, Daichi!" he screamed as they got close to the Royal Garden.
"K-Kukai in… a d-d-dress!" Daichi said with a laugh, "And I thought the pink egg was funny!" He was on Kukai's shoulder to keep from falling once he started laughing while flying. "That's pricele --" and he was cut off by a flick directed at him from Kukai. "Hey, Kukai!" he said as he flew up onto his owner's shoulder again.
"No more talking about it! We're here," Kukai said as he opened the door to the Royal Garden. "How's everyone!? " he questioned happily as he walked up and started patting Nagihiko and Amu on their heads, "Guess who came to visit!?" "Souma-kun!" Tadase said with a smile, "We weren't expecting you! What a pleasant surprise!" He was at the table with the other guardians: Rima, Nagihiko, Yaya and Amu. They seemed to be having their usual meeting talk about the new Mystery (?) eggs and Easter's new plan to lure out the Embryo, and how they were going to cut them off and get it instead, the usual stuff.
"I decided I'd stop by! " Kukai said with a grin as Yaya jumped up and hugged him, "See how things were going!" His ever-present smile was on his face as he walked over to Tadase and leaned on the table. "So, how goes it, guys? "
"Well," Nagihiko said as he tried to straighten his hair from being pat by Kukai, "It seems that those new eggs, Mystery Eggs, have been showing up more. We're trying to figure out who's luring these eggs out, but it's rather difficult." He then finished fixing his hair and smoothed it out one more time with a smile. "We have no leads as to who could possibly be doing it.""Those new eggs are freaky," Kukai said with a shudder, getting a laugh from the other guardians as he smiled. He yawned and looked over all of them. "Well, you know I'm here if you need me! " he said with a smile as he leaned over the table, "I'd be glad to help any time! " He smiled, failing to notice the blue-eyed, cat-eared high schooler watching from the roof of the Garden. "We'd gladly accept it, Souma-kun," Tadase said with a smile. He looked over to the shugo charas, who were talking with Daichi. All of them seemed to be laughing as Daichi told them about something that was apparently amusing. Tadase smiled at the antics of the shugo charas.
Kukai, on the other hand, knew what Daichi was telling them about. "Daiiiichiiiii," he muttered, "You're in so much trouble when we get home…" Kukai sighed and looked over to the shugo charas again. Why did Daichi have to tell them about the dream and everything? He knew the shugo charas wouldn't tell, so he relaxed a little, at least, until something unexpected happened.
What Kukai didn't know was that a certain blue-haired cat boy was watching from the roof of the Garden. Ikuto gave a small little smirk as his tail swished back and forth as he looked over to Kukai. He gave a small nod over to Yoru and jumped off the roof into the Royal Garden. He sighed a little as the guardians were now all staring at him. "Hey, hey," he said with a small smirk, "That's no way to welcome me."
"Ikuto!" Kukai said, but then flushed a little when all the guardians were staring at him. Of course, they didn't know he and Ikuto were on first-name terms, and on top of it, for him to say it on a dime, in perfect timing with Amu. He flushed when he noticed what he did, and mentally smacked himself. Why was he so stupid!? "What are you doing here!?" he added in as he looked over to Ikuto, who smirked and walked over to him, to the shock of the guardians, who expected him to go for Amu.
"Aawww, Kukai," he said, again shocking the guardians with their familiarity, "I just came to pay a visit is all. I can't wait until tonight to see you." The cat boy wrapped his arms around Kukai's waist and nestled his chin into the crook of the other boy's neck. "I wanted to see you now." He smiled and nuzzled Kukai's cheek, which was now a bright shade of pink. He chuckled a little at the boy's flush.
"What the hell is going on!" Amu said, now completely confused with what was going on between her old friend and the flirtatious cat boy. "Ikuto, stop teasing my friend! Get away from him!" The pinkette tried to get the bluenette away from Kukai to no avail with her words. "What are you doing here, Tsukiyomi Ikuto!?" Tadase said as he looked over to Ikuto. The blond boy 's ruby eyes looked disdainfully at the bluenette that was wrapped around his red-brown haired friend at the moment, teasing him, "Let go of Souma-kun and leave! You have no right to be here!"
"Now, now," Ikuto said with a certain gleam in his eyes that told Kukai the cat boy was about to let out with something he didn't want him to. "I'm not here to cause trouble this time, I just want to talk with Kukai. Let me do that much and I'll leave. I'm a little curious," the cat boy's ears perked up as he pulled out his stashed egg, the new one, along with Kukai's, which had been the entire reason he started teasing the boy, much to Kukai's resentment when he noticed the boy had gotten his hands on his egg while hugging him, "about how we came across these on the same day, Kukai."
Kukai blushed as his friends glanced over his and Ikuto's new eggs, and at the sight of his eggs, all of the shugo chara started laughing again. "Ikuto!" he muttered, trying to get out of the hold the boy still had on him, "Let go of me! I said we'll talk about it tonight!" He tried to mutter it where no one could hear him, and apparently must have succeeded because no one said anything about him saying that to the older cat boy. He flushed a little as he felt the older boy place his egg back in his pocket.
"Oh, fine," Ikuto said, giving up on his fun for the day, "You win this time. I'll see you tonight, Kukai." With that, the older boy gave a small smirk as he grabbed Kukai again and gave him a quick, teasing kiss on his cheek, then nuzzled the cheek with his nose. "Bye bye, my Alice." Then he was gone, as if the alluring boy had never been there, teasing the now beet red Kukai, almost as if making fun of him. Kukai was going to give him a mouthful that night.
