(Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)
Hello again, everyone. Sugata Eshiko at your service.
I am well aware that many of you ladies who read this story are expecting more fanservice. Well, here the thing, much like the original manga, this fanfic is rated T, marketed for the Shōjo community.
To achieve the T-rating,for fanservice, this fanfic IS allowed to mention abs, pecs, muscles, briefs, men's nipples, boobs, (probably) breasts, cleavage, and panties; however, it cannot DIRECTLY mention the genitalia of neither the male nor female.
Also, for language purposes, any swear would that would be allowed to be used an unlimited amount of times in PG-13 movies, yet still be censored on television, can be said as many times as the MrWii000 wants; however, swear words that ARE limited can only be used ONCE per volume.
These restriction are to aim for the teenage audience the original manga is aimed toward.
So if there are no hard feelings, then enjoy the next chapter.
(End of Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)
Tomoko and Icarus sat together on a monorail train; across from them sat Sora and Sugata.
"*SIGH* This sucks!" thought Sora. "Today was supposed to be a day for me and Tomo-chan, just the TWO of us, alone."
(Flashback; 1 day ago)
Tomoko and Sora stood at a Japanese roulette booth. The roulette host cranked on a octagon box until a small pebble fell out.
"WINNER!" the host announced as he rung his bell. "THE GRAND PRIZE IS A TRIP FOR TWO TO THE BEACH!"
"SWEET!" yelled Sora. He took the tickets from the award presenter, chibitizing herself and Tomoko in the process. "Man, we haven't been on a trip together in a LONG TIME, have we, Tomo-chan?"
"Wow, you're sure excited," Tomoko groaned as she and Sora began heading home.
"Of COURSE I am! It's a trip for just the TWO of—"
"WINNER! THE GRAND PRIZE IS A TRIP TO THE BEACH!"
Hearing the bell again, Tomoko and Sora turned around and noticed Sugata ALSO holding the same prize as them.
(End of Flashback)
"I'm sorry," said Sugata, "to have ruined your time alone with—"
"Oh no! It's fine," said Sora quickly. "But why bring HIM along?" He pointed to Icarus; this time, Icarus was wearing and light-blue hoodie over a black sleeveless shirt and blue jeans.
"WOW!" The chibitized Tomoko stared out onto the beach shore, setting her gaze on all the hot men in their shorts and speedos. "THIS IS THE BEST—OUCH!" Tomoko suddenly began jumping on the hot sand.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! You should be careful, Tomo-chan," said Sora from out of nowhere.
Tomoko turned around and Sora and Icarus; both were wearing light-green shorts and a black speedo, respectively; the latter also wore his light-blue hoodie.
"Hey, Icarus," asked Sugata, who wore NO swimsuit by the way, right next to Tomoko, "why are you still wearing your hoodie?"
"Well, I have to hide my wings," explained Icarus. "I can shrink them no more than THIS size." Turning around, Icarus removed his shirt, showing his shrunken wings.
"Come on, y'all!" Sora called out. "Let's have some fun!"
"Got it!" Icarus hit the volleyball over he net.
"Got it!" Sora, from the other side of the volleyball court, hit the volleyball back over the net.
On the sideline, Tomoko watched the game joy. "Just how I imagined, beach volleyball is the GREATEST sport! Just looking at Sora move...IS TOTALLY AMAZING!"
*BAM*
Sora suddenly spiked the ball right at Tomoko's right cheek.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, SORA!" Tomoko screamed with a now bruised right cheek.
"YOU'RE ONE WHO WAS LOOKING AT ME!" Sora snapped back.
"Are you alright, Master?" asked Icarus some time later.
"No," groaned Tomoko. "Beach volleyball is bullshit."
"Then how about we get a boat?" asked Sora.
"Yeah, sure."
"YEAH!"
"WOO!"
Sora and a now modernized Tomoko suddenly turned their attention to a huge crowd standing at a Curry Eating Contest booth. After getting through the crowd, they noticed one of the contestants: Sugata; she was still eating curry, while her competition, all males, had become full and/or sick.
"Forget about him," Tomoko whispered to Sora as they got out of the crowd.
"Whatever. I'll go get the boat." Sora rushed off.
"Hey, Icar—"
Tomoko looked around for Icarus, but he nowhere to be—
"Huh?" Tomoko suddenly noticed something out in the far sea: a light-blue hoodie. "...Please don't tell me..."
Icarus knelt at the bottom of the ocean, holding two sea cucumbers in his hands. He squeezed one of the cucumbers, shooting out the white slime from within. He then set down the squeezed cucumber to pick up a crab that walked by. He got up onto his feet and began to walk along the underwater ocean floor.
Above him, a chibitized Tomoko was submerged underwater and swam to her Angeloid as fast as she—
"*GLUG* *GLUG* *GLUG* *GLUG* *GLUG* *GLUG* *GLUG* *GLUG*…"
"...*GASP* *COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH*" Tomoko awoke on the beach shore as tried to catch her breath after almost drowning.
"Are you okay, Master?"
Tomoko looked up and saw Icarus kneeling right in front of him. "Do I...*INHALE*...do I LOOK OKAY?! I ALMOST DROWNED, GODDAMMIT! CAN'T YOU AT LEAST FLOAT LIKE A HUMAN BEING?! YOU REALIZE WHAT WULD'VE HAPPENED IF SOMEONE ELSE CAUGHT YOU, RIGHT?"
"I am unable to float," explained Icarus. "My wings absorb water, which causes me to sink."
"In THAT case," Tomoko chanted as she grabbed Icarus' hand and dragged him back to the water, "we're going to learn how to swim!"
"Hey, Tomo-chan!" Sora called out with a rented boat. "I got a boat for us! Where are—"
But then he saw Tomoko holding the hands of her chibitzed Angeloid and pulling him through the water.
"Come on, Icarus," said the perverted girl. "Extend your legs and make small kicks."
"Like this, Master?" asked Icarus.
"No!"
Disappointed, Sora just walked off with the boat. When he reached the water, he set the boat down, climbed in, and used the oars to row out to sea. "I can't BELIEVE her!" Sora groaned to himself. "Tomo-chan agrees to go out on a boat with me, but then ditches me for HIM!"
"*GASP* *GASP* *GASP* MY GOD! YOU'RE HOPELESS!" Tomoko yelled
"Apologies, mas—"
"SAVE YOUR APOLOGIES! SORA! I—"
Tomoko looked around, but couldn't see Sora anywhere. "Sora?"
Sora sat alone out on the boat, wrapping his arms around his legs.
(Flashback; 8 Years Ago...I think)
"Come on, Sora!" yelled Tomoko. "Let's go swimming!"
"I-I'm sorry, Tomo-chan," Sora said as he made a sand castle, "but I can't swim."
"What? You CAN'T?"
"Nope."
"Then how about I teach you." Tomoko held out his hand to Sora.
Sora took the hand and was taken to the ocean water. Within the water, Tomoko pulled on Sora's arms while Sora did the swimming.
"Come on, Sora. Extend your legs when you flutter kick," instructed Tomoko.
"I'm sorry. I'm just a little s-scared," said Sora.
"Don't worry, Sora. I won't let you go."
(End of Flashback)
As he remembered his childhood with Tomoko, Sora looked out over the boat edge. Huh? What the...?!" He was far out on the ocean. "Oh NO! How'd I drift so far away?" He quickly reached for the oars, but grabbed nothing; one of the oars had already fallen off the boat and were just a few inches away. "Shit!" He reached for the fallen oar.
*SPLASH*
Sora fell out of the boat and into the water.
*SPLASH*
"HELP!"
*SPLASH*
Sora desperately tried to stay above the water, but couldn't swim, so he ended up sinking. "Oh no..."
Suddenly, a hand reached into the water and grabbed Sora's wrist, pulling him out; as soon as he was above water and pulled back onto the boat, he saw Tomoko was the one who saved her.
"*COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH* *COUGH*"
"Are you okay, Sora?" asked a worried Tomoko.
"*HACK* Thanks for saving me!" Sora breathed heavily.
"Don't thank me, thank Icarus." To Tomoko's left was Icarus. "He brought me all the way out here to save you."
"I'm SO sorry I forgot about you, Sora," said Tomoko later that evening. "It's just that I saw Icarus sinking, and I didn't want his cover blown. But for Christ sakes, PLEASE don't go out on your own again! I was worried SICK! Did you forget you can't swim!"
Sora, who was on his hands and knees, looked up at his friend in shock. "She...She remembered..." Bowing his head, Sora closed his eyes and smiled as his cheeks began blushing. He looked back up at Tomoko—
"Come on, Icarus. I told you to flutter you legs!"
The chibitized master-servant duo continued swimming for—
*GRAB*
Sora, now resonating a bluish-purple aura, suddenly grabbed Tomoko's wrist. "Tomo-chan..."
*CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP*
"WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP SPENDING ALL YOUR TIME WITH THAT DUMB ANGE?L!"
*CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP*
"YOU KNOW WHAT, FORGET ABOUT GOING BACK!"
*CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP* *CHOP*
"LET'S JUST STAY HERE AND—"
"Ahem..." Sugata was suddenly standing at the shore line, eating a cob of corn and presenting the three of them a ticket to a seaside lodge.
Later that night, at the seaside lodge, a modernized Tomoko was asleep and having another bizarre dream...
(Tomoko's Dream)
Tomoko opened her eyes and, to her surprise, the angel of her dreams was standing right over him.
"You must be careful..." whispered the angel.
"Huh?"
The angel leapt into the sky again to fly off. "...There's a REASON why I sent him to you..."
(End of Tomoko's Dream)
Tomoko opened her eyes and, to her surprise, her Angeloid servant was right on top of her.
"...KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
*BAM* *THUD*
"Oof!"
Tomoko furiously kicked Icarus in the face. "DO YOU MIND TELLING ME JUST WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE DOING?!"
"Yes."
"'Yes' ISN'T AN ANSWER, YOU—" But then Tomoko quickly closed her mouth as she realized Sugata was in the futon right next to her. She got up, odernized, and pushed Icarus out of her room. "Now go back to Sora's room and go back to sleep."
" 'Sleep'? What is 'sleep'?"
"Huh?"
"We Angeloid were not designed to sleep."
"So, wait a sec, were you watching me sleep this entire time?"
"Yes."
"...Uh...then how about we go for a walk by the water?" That way, you can spread out your wings and nobody will notice."
Back in Tomoko and Sugata's room, Sugata was NOT sleeping at all; instead, she was under the covers of her futon, observing her mini-laptop. "So, Icarus is able to stand on ocean water in a depth 3000, and operate without oxygen for over 720 hours. Interesting, but what is his purpose for coming here."
Outside by the beach, Icarus spread his wings out as far as he could, while Tomoko watched and held her arms behind her head. "It must be convenient," she thought as she noticed some of Icarus' feathers float of into the night sky, "for him to stay up all night. But what does she do when everybody else is asleep?
"Hey, babe." Suddenly, an older man put his arm around her.
"What the...HEY! Leave me alone!" ordered Tomoko.
But the man, along with two of his buddies, surrounded her. "Hey, we're trying to be nice, sweetheart."
"Go away!" the black-haired girl demanded. "I'm with somebody right—"
*BAM*
"UGH!"
But one of the men punched her in the stomach. "Hey, we're trying to be NICE here, lady, but you're making it DIFFICULT, you little—"
*GRAB*
"What are you doing to my master?"
The head thug turned his head and saw Icarus grabbing his arm.
"I'll ask again, what are you doing to my master?" Icarus held the thug's arm up as his wings extended. All of a sudden, Icarus began glowing and resonating enormous power; wind began to blow around him as his emerald eyes glowed brighter; Icarus' power was so tremendous that it began blowing the water and breaking small mountains, much to Tomoko's shock.
"What the hell, man?!" yelled one of the thugs.
"ICARUS! STOP IT!"
Hearing her master's word, Icarus stopped powering up and released the lead thug, who began to run away with his friends.
"What the hell was THAT?!" Tomoko demanded.
"Mater, you were in danger and—"
"I DON'T CARE! COME ON!" Tomoko grabbed her Angeloid hand and began dragging him back to the seaside lodge. "You could've put us all in danger," said Tomoko furiously.
The next day, Tomoko, Icarus, Sora, and Sugata sat on the rain heading back to Sorami; Tomoko noticed Icarus sadly staring out the window.
"Master," Icarus said as he looked at his master, "I'm sorry about yesterday."
"No, Icarus, I'M the one who should be sorry about yelling at you yesterday," Tomoko said. "It just that I was scared you might've turned into some scary weapon, and then everybody would be afraid."
"Oh, okay."
Sora looked away in sadness. "Does she really care about him THAT much?"
Sugata, on the other hand, gazed at the Angeloid in suspicion. "a 'scary weapon'?"
