I'm baaaack~~~ :D
Hello again, whoever is reading this story XD after an agonizing week, I finally updated this story~ I read your reviews through my phone, and I am sooo happy! I just giggled and my mom asked what's wrong. My mom's gonna kill me if she knew I read JR X( anyways, thanks for all the support. When I previously wrote stories, it's like nobody really read it, and I used to give up writing. But now there's you people who constantly support me, and I couldn't be happier.
I also wrote a crossover between JR and Black Butler. I don't know what came over me. I was just like, "what happens if our lovely JR characters were in this situation?" and that kinda expanded into a full-length chapter.
Okay, rambling's over. Now without further ado, The Jack
Disclaimer: I do not own Junjou Romantica or any of it's characters. Just my OC and this story
"I am going to join The Jack."
The teen's eyes widened. How could he be that reckless? He's the one that suggested staying away. What made him change his mind?
"W-What are you talking about?! It's dangerous!" Misaki is beyond surprised, he was scared. What will happen if Usagi died? He can't lose him!
"Because, Misaki," he gently replied, "I need to protect you too. I can't let you face this alone."
Misaki grew silent.
"Y-You idiot," he muttered, blushing faintly while looking away, "if you died then I'm not responsible."
Usagi smiled, and then hugged the brunet despite the man's protests. He is happy. Misaki allowed him to be by his side, which is the greatest happiness he could ever get at this moment.
After a while, the talking ceased. All of the people in the room are now silent.
"Well," Eloise began, clearing her throat, "it seems that all of you will be joining."
"Reluctantly," Shinobu murmured, earning him a glare from the older woman.
"Then, the entrance test will begin tomorrow. For now, please fill this application form first," Eloise handed everyone the piece of paper, "the pens are in your rooms. Please follow me."
Eloise guided them to their room. Each room will house two people, and to no surprise, Misaki stayed with Usagi, Hiroki stayed with Nowaki, and Shinobu stayed with Miyagi.
The couple sat in their respective beds, looking at the form while filling the questions.
"Current job... writer," Usagi mumbled while writing down the piece of information. He continued scribbling down, unaware that his partner is silently watching him. Then Misaki chuckled.
Usagi looked up, "what is it?"
"Oh, nothing," Misaki said, wiping the tears from his eyes, "it's just that you're funny while writing like that."
"Hm, well, I won't reject my boyfriend's compliment," he smirked as Misaki stuttered something about 'I'm not your boyfriend'. He then looked at Misaki's form, "done yet?"
"Ah, yes I'm done," he said while glancing at the paper.
"Good. Get some sleep, tomorrow's a big day for us," Usagi smiled while switching off the lights, the fluorescent lines at the walls dimly glowing.
"You talk as if we're getting married or something..." Misaki mumbled quietly, but Usagi heard every word he just said.
"Do you want to?" he asked, laying down on the bed while pulling up the covers.
"N-NO! That's not what I mean!" he quickly replied, flustered.
"Oh..." Misaki could clearly sense the disappointment in Usagi's voice.
"I-I mean, don't think about that first, we'll take it slow. Maybe a-after all of this fiasco is over we can... get... engaged..." Misaki's voice got smaller and smaller with each word until it's barely a whisper, but nevertheless Usagi smiled.
"Goodnight Misaki."
"G-Goodnight... Usagi-san."
Morning rolled around, and Misaki woke up to the sound of knocking. He got up, stretched, and opened the door revealing Eloise, holding two bags in her hands.
"Here, you know the drill," she quietly instructed while handing Misaki the bags.
"Thank you, Eloise-san," Misaki smiled. But before he can close the door, Eloise's foot blocked the way.
"Nice to know that you've found someone special," for the first time since yesterday, she smiled. A dazzling, sincere smile that made Misaki's lips bloom into a wide smile as well.
"Yeah."
After closing the door, Misaki's blush grew as he just realized what the woman meant. She knew...?
"Misaki~ what are you doing?" Usagi yawned while stretching on his bed.
"O-Oh, nothing, Usagi-san. Here, wear this. The test will begin in about..." Misaki trailed off, glancing at the clock then at Usagi, "half an hour."
Usagi accepted the bag. He opened it, revealing a sports trousers, a white shirt, undergarments, a bottle, and a warm bundle that has a writing 'FOOD' on it.
"Well," Usagi said, taking the clothes, "time to get ready."
While Usagi showered, Misaki sat on the bed, squirming uncomfortably.
'I'm really going to do this all over again, aren't I?'
When Usagi got out, he is only wearing the pants while the shirt hung on his shoulders, while he dried off his hair with a towel. Misaki blushed and quickly sprinted towards the steaming bathroom. Usagi chuckled.
"He really is cute..."
Usagi, Misaki, Hiroki, Nowaki, Shinobu and Miyagi now sat in a circle, eating their food silently. The 'food' turned out to be a bun, with a filling of meat and veggies, earning a scowl from Usagi when he spotted the green peppers finely minced, almost blending in with its surroundings. But Usagi recognize that veggie everywhere. And the frustrating thing is, he can't get it out, so he just ate the bun while grimacing about the defenseless vegetable.
"Good morning everyone," Eloise suddenly stepped in, a rare smile gracing her features today. Everyone hurried to finish their food.
"Now, we will begin the test. First up, Yoh Miyagi."
"What? Why me? I'm the oldest!" he whined. Shinobu slapped his back.
"Don't whine like a baby and just go!" he pushed Miyagi, making him stumble into one of the rooms, Eloise closely behind. The room closed.
Miyagi is seen sitting down in front of a desk. When Eloise pushed a button, though, three hologram monitor suddenly pops up around him, with one keyboard suddenly appearing in front of him. Eloise instructed him to do... something, and he tapped something on the monitor and the 'Paint' software is now open. He began doodling a horse (or a dog or a camel, nobody could really tell) and after a while, Eloise closed the app and opened something full of computer programming codes. Miyagi just stared at it.
"That old man is an idiot," Shinobu sighed, face palming.
"Well no wonder," Misaki quietly murmured, still watching a motionless Miyagi, "I can't really do anything with computers either."
After an agonizing two hours (and Miyagi begging to stop when he exited each room) he entered a room full of cars, motorcycles, tanks, and other vehicles. He took a wrench, stared at it, and began dismantling a motorcycle. After a while, parts of the ride is now scattered on the floor. After 15 minutes, he is out, leaving behind a reconstructed motorcycle, with new parts attached to it.
"Ahh, turns out I'm quite talented in the vehicles department," he grinned while stretching.
"That's because I gave you the instruction book," Eloise flatly said.
After a while, Miyagi is now done. Next is Shinobu.
Then Nowaki.
Hiroki.
And then Usagi's turn came. He gulped as he entered the computer room. The door slowly closed behind him.
"Now, what do you know about computers?" Eloise asked while turning on the computer.
"Typing, doodling, stuff like that," Usagi shrugged.
"Then try doing something," she instructed
Usagi opened some applications, only managing to do what commoners normally do. Eloise sighed as she shut down the computer.
"Well, at least you're better that Miyagi," she said while massaging her temples, "that guy is really useless here. He's really different from Hiroki."
At the mention of his friend, Usagi's ears perked up, "Hiroki?"
"Yeah, him," she folded her arms, "he created the HBSP. Basically a genius."
"Wait, so he used to be a member?" he is now confused. What did his friend so desperately need that he entered this organization?
"Yeah, one of the best. Now moving on, next is chemical producing..."
So they moved. Usagi is no good with whatever topic related to science, only remembering the theories. Engines? Not bad, can only ride, not make. And never let him touch something that has something to do with cooking. He can do first aids, but nothing beyond that. And now, he arrived at the fighting section.
"Try each weapon," she ordered.
Usagi took a spear, "how do I use this?"
"Just do whatever you feel like doing," she replied, leaning on the wall.
Then he failed at that. And at bows and arrows too. Well, except crossbows. He's pretty damn good at that.
He then picked up a pistol. After observing the tool, he aimed at the target dummies conveniently put in the room. A few were already destroyed. The he shot.
He almost hit bull's eye.
"Nice," she complimented.
He can pretty much use all guns, even the machine guns. Not really precise, but there's potential. Now he came across the knives. He tried to throw one, but it almost missed the ring target. He grumbled.
"I'll be your opponent at that," she suddenly came, taking two short daggers from the wall display, "at least you'll be able to fight with these."
Usagi picked up a knife as well. And then they began the practice. Each time Usagi tried to lunge, she avoided him, or blocked him with her daggers. He is now annoyed, and, after a few more missed blows, he suddenly struck her arm.
"Not bad," she indifferently said, not at all fazed by the wound on her arm, she just held it, "not bad at all. Move on to another weapon, I'll be right back."
She waked to a table with a first aid kit on it, and began disinfecting the wound. Meanwhile, Usagi wondered into the knuckles section. He picked up a pair of brass knuckles, put it on, and began to punch a dummy. After a while, the dummy now lost its head, and Usagi just stood there, panting.
"You're quite good at that," Eloise suddenly came, her arm now firmly wrapped in bandage.
Usagi then exchanged for another weapon, then another one, until all of the weapons are already used. And let's just say, he can't cook, but he can surely roast a person with a flamethrower.
After all of that, they're finally finished. Eloise proceeds to call the last name.
"Takahashi Misaki."
They entered the first room. Then the second, third, and so on. Misaki was serious when he said he really can't do a thing with computer. He can only doodle a worm and open applications, but the only ones he was capable of using is the games and the typing software. He can make simple explosives with basic chemicals. He cooks well. He can use most of the vehicle, except a submarine (yeah, there's a submarine simulator in there). Then when he came inside the weapons section did everyone stare.
He throws those knives, hitting bull's eye each time. He uses spears effortlessly, swords gracefully, basically everything. Everyone just stared in awe.
When finished, he silently walked to Usagi's side, aware of everyone's stare at him.
"Everyone," Eloise clapped, gaining everyone's attention, "your test results will be given to you tomorrow. Meanwhile, enjoy your stay here. There is a recreation room if you want to, just go straight ahead and turn right after you exit this room."
Nobody really goes to the mentioned room, instead they just showered and flop back to their bed, exhausted beyond measure.
I know that Miyagi's a literature professor and he uses computer most of the time and yadayadayada, but I thought it would be funny, since he only types and stuff like that, why not make him bad at computers? I mean he can craft a motorcycle in 15 minutes, so it's kinda equal, right? When I made this story I can really imagine Miyagi repairing a car, making stuff like that... yeah.
And as I mentioned at chapter 2, Hiroki did make the HBSP. I forgot to mention that the HBSP looks a bit like those battle simulators at Hunger Games, only they're blue and the pixels are more detailed. It kinda makes people appear outta nowhere and you gotta kill'em. Pretty cool, huh? And Hiroki's a computer genius~
