Hey guys! How's everything?
I just had my birthday 3 days ago 8D
WOO! but man, don't feel any different _
BTW, important poll down at the bottom, IT'S CRUCIAL! IT'S LIFE OR DEATH! GAHHH D:
and, I'm experimenting with a new writing style! There's more description of things and a mix of shorter and longer paragraphs. I doubt it's as humourous as before though D: I'm losing my touch!
But tell me what you think! Like it or hate it?
Air Gear: All's Fair in Love and War
Chapter 6: Shopping-desu!
"...gito...? Agito...?"
"Wha?" Agito mumbled as he awoken from bleary eyed sleep. "Mn," he groaned.
Light peered in from the nearby window and lightly hit his face. His eyes slowly opened and adjusted to the light. He lifted an arm to wipe his eyes and tried to roll over before he noticed some extra weight. An eyebrow twitched.
And it wasn't because he thought he had gained weight.
"K-K-K...KAIRI?" he squeaked. A second of shock, then he composed himself. Sort of. "W-what are you doing, Kai-chan?" he yelled.
"Hm?" Kairi tilted her head. She leaned forwards until their noses were a centimetre away, her hands resting on his chest. Agito then realised that she was sitting on top of him. No, really.
"W-what are you doing?" Agito snapped, embarrassed.
"Waking you up!" Kairi grinned before she hopped off and hummed as she exit the room fully dressed and all.
Agito shook his head as he got up and groaned at his dirty mind.
"Fuck."
"Waah, shopping!" Simca cried with a bliss look on her face. "So glad I came, this place is amazing to shop at! Ah, ne ne ne, look Ringo-chan! That dress is so cu~te! Ah! It'll definitely go well with..."
Kururu sighed but smiled all the same at the scene of Simca trying to drag poor Ringo into a clothing store. This vacation was turning out to be really fun! Yayoi smiled and followed with a large grin ("Wah! That looks so cute! Get it Ringo!").
"Hehe," Emily grinned, "time to spend all of last year's pay! Yosh! Let's go girls!"
"Hai!"
"Go Emily-cha~n!"
Without the guys, the girls had managed to go to every clothing store (save swim wear and lingerie stores) but they regretted not dragging at least one guy to carry all their bags – and trust me, there were a lot.
"Huff, so many bags!" Emily complained.
"Then you shouldn't have bought them for me!" Kairi pouted. "Or at least let me carry them!"
"No! It's fine, fine!" Emily stood up straight. "It's muscle and endurance training! Yosh! Training!" she proclaimed with fire in her eyes. When she saw Kairi frown, she grinned and patted her head. "Daijoubou! I promised Ikki that I would take you shopping!"
Kairi gave her a small smile. "Arigatou."
Emily grinned. "Yosh! Time to go to a new store! March on!" she cried.
"Hai!"
Meanwhile, the guys were having some bro time. They were also within town, however were at the town square sitting on the slanted steel steps circled around a silver monument of the founder of the town (and weren't doing a whole lot). It was quite well designed, and even though it was a small place in the middle of nowhere, it certainly challenged the busy streets of Tokyo. It was a quieter place however and the Mayor had obviously spent money on its maintenance. It had city edge to it while being historical and peaceful.
Kazu tugged at his white beanie and scuffed his black and white skater shoes awkwardly. Few girls gave him winks as they passed by in which he returned with a nervous smile, partly because he knew that any moment now Emily could pop out and give him the beating of his life He pulled at his loose green shirt over his white hoodie and scrunched up the sleeves to his elbows. Was it just him, or was it getting a tad hot?
Oh right, the pig next to him was releasing steam from everywhere imaginable (use your mind kids) from seeing all the hot women pass by. He inhaled deeply and exclaimed something along the lines of 'I CAN SMELL THE ESSENCE OF-'
BAM.
"Rotten pig!" Ikki yelled at him with his hand in a fist. "You're scaring away all the babes!"
"Sorry, boss..."
Ikki sighed and went back to his 'cool pose'.
This will surely get all the chicks...fufufu..ahaha...AHAHA...
"AHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" Ikki cackled out loud unknowingly. Instantly, the chicks started to give him weird looks and shied away.
"BOSS!"
BANG.
"Ahh...my bad..." Ikki managed to let out with his head down and as ghost was leaving his nostrils.
"Tch, fucking idiots," Agito muttered to the side. He leant forward and propped a hand up to lean on. He was wearing a dark jeans and a tight black shirt with white stripes going down along the left which hugged him in all the right places. Sure, he was a scrawny little bitch, but he did have abs. He went to work out a few times a week so many girls couldn't help but stare at him as they walked past which he had noticed. He rolled his eyes and suddenly found himself in a headlock by none other than the 'fucking crow' as said by himself.
"What did you say, huh? Motherfucking kid! Respect your elders!" he growled.
"Fuck face!"
"Little brat!" Ikki knuckled Agito's head quite forcibly (little bitch can man up!) and some girls giggled at the 'brotherly' display. He immediately jumped and went into mush mode. "Boobies~" he drooled. The saliva fell onto his torn jeans and Agito scowled in disgust and tried to inch away. No luck.
"Ora! What is with this brat? Is he a man? Why isn't he focusing on those lovely dumplings right there!" Ikki yelled as he knuckled the poor boy's head.
"FUCKING CROW!"
Meanwhile, Buccha was lazing back with his elbow propped up behind him drinking a frozen coke. He wasn't paying much attention to the looks the boys were getting but was in deep thought and the yells of his friends were drowned out by his music. He stood up and dusted his three-quarter jeans.
"I'm going back to the hotel."
"Eh?" Ikki stopped knuckling Agito. "Leaving already, fatty?"
Buccha shrugged the nickname off. He had already become accustomed to his lovely friends insults and teasing. It just meant they loved him...It's a guy thing.
"Yeah, I just remembered that I had something to do."
"Well...okay," Ikki blinked. "Have fun." And he went back to what he was doing before- ah wait! The little bitch escaped!
Buccha sighed at his loud friends but resumed a serious face as he made his way back to the hotel. He hailed a taxi and asked to go back to the hotel and stared at the greenery that zoomed by outside the window. When they had arrived, he thanked the driver, paid him, and walked into the lobby. He looked around for a certain blonde and was disappointed when he couldn't see her.
"Hey big guy, what you doing here?"
Buccha whirled around in surprise and let out a breath as he realised who it was.
"Sophie! Hi!" he gasped.
"Oh sorry, did I scare ya? Sorry mate," she grinned and Buccha just had to smile. "So, where are all your friends?"
"Well actually, I just wasn't feeling up to all their uh, hyperactivity?" he chuckled nervously.
Sophie gave him an understanding look and nodded. "I know what you mean. Well, I shouldn't annoy you anymore and get to my lunch break!"
Buccha jumped and grabbed her wrist before she left. "C-Could I join you? For lunch?"
Sophie smiled. "I would love that."
The girls had just finished their round of shopping and were walking to the town centre when they saw the boys.
"Yahoo~!" Simca cried out as she ran towards them, waving her hand. She dropped her stuff and glomped Ikki. "Ikki-chan, I missed you!" she whined. "You should've came!"
Ikki's ego suddenly grew. "Really? I mean," he coughed, "of course. I am a man after-"
"Then you could've carried all our stuff!"
The whole town shook as the girls dropped their shopping bags and Ikki suddenly went pale - note to self: NEVER get dragged shopping with these girls.
Emily gasped. "Girls, look! We haven't been to that store yet! I don't see how we could've missed it! I swear it wasn't there before."
Everyone turned to look at the store and they all had quite uh the different strong reactions.
"OHEMGEEYESLETSGOTHERE,COMEONGIRLS!" Simca squealed and dragged the other 5 girls to the store (how she did that, we shall never know).
Ikki and the pig melted into the ground and had steam coming out of their noses, "A swimwear store...HEAVEN!" and rushed off behind the girls in hopes of spying on chicks in bikinis. Agito and Kazu had quite the adorable expression, each picturing a certain girl with revealing swimwear but feeling very awkward.
"A-ah, let's follow them," Kazu coughed. "I mean, otherwise it's just us two..."
"Ah," Agito muttered, "yeah. Fuck."
And so the two awkwardly (and adorably!) shuffled towards the store and tried to look invisible, which of course is impossible unfortunately to them. They paled as they entered. Rows and rows of the most creative swimwear they have ever seen filled the place with girls squealing and screaming to their friends from dressing rooms to find another size of a certain bikini. The place was crowded. Fuck crowded. And it was huge, how the hell the girls managed to miss the place, they will never know.
"U-Uh." The two boys sweatdropped. How the hell could they find their friends?
"Kazu-sama~" Emily popped in front of him out of nowhere. Kazu stared at her and knew he was fucked as soon as Emily's innocent smile turned into a large grin. "Help me find something!" she cried as she dragged him off by the wrist and kicked her arms and legs up in happiness. She yelled something out to Agito before the couple disappeared in a mass of girls. Agito sighed and went up the escalators guarded by a tall dark-skinned man who stared at him before letting him pass (THE FUCK, THIS PLACE IS FUCKING HARDCORE), heard a voice he recognised and walked into the dressing room on his far right. Most of the girls were already in dressing rooms (girl shopping powers) yelling out things girls normally whinge about when they try out something. He noticed Ikki and the pig gone and knew from years of friendship that they were out perving or hitting on the other girl customers. He noticed Kairi sitting on a seat within the quite spacious and open dressing rooms.
"Yo," he said casually and the girl sitting on the chair jumped up in surprise but as soon as she saw him, she grinned.
"Agito-kun! I'm glad you made it here okay! We told the guard that you were with us and to look out for you."
Agito gave her a funny look and she sighed.
"This store has three levels. First level is for people by themselves or with a few friends. Second level you can only access with a group of people for convenience (you get a dressing room per group hence the really open room and the massive wall mirror over there). Third level is for private or VIP but anyways, get it dummy?" Kairi smirked. Agito glared at her and sat on her. "Hey!"
"Your fault for calling me a dummy," he sneered to which Kairi pouted. It was silent for awhile and he was about to get off when she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his back. He stiffened from the sudden contact but relaxed and let her warmth flow through him. His body suddenly felt tingly and it was a foreign feeling to him but he liked it. A door suddenly slammed open and he jumped off. Simca strutted out with a frilly pink with white polka dots bikini on and knocked on the other doors.
"GIRLS, GET THE HELLA OUTTA THERE AND ROCK THAT BODY AND SHOW ME WHATCHA GOT," she screamed at the top of her lungs and all three other girls in the changing cubicles walked out rubbing their ears. Simca and the other girls walked up the large wall mirror and stood there posing and talking about their current swimsuits on. Agito turned away from the sight of the four girls and felt very, VERY awkward.
Yayoi was in a bright red one piece which hitched up quite high along her thighs and had a small white bow sewn onto one of the straps (That's soo last season. But the bow's cute. I think it's good. Hun, find something else which shows your body more. KYA!); Ringo had a baby blue tankini (You need to spice it up, girl! It's cute, but too childish. Find something sexier, geez! But I don't know what, it's embarrassing! Fine then, girls we're picking something out for Ringo-chan. HUH?); and Kururu was in a white polka dot bikini with a matching skirt (Cute, but you need something else! You're too innocent! I agree! Me too~ SERIOUSLY?).
Then they all went back into their cubicles and went through the millions of bikinis they picked out to try on again. Agito coughed awkwardly at the scene that had just unfolded and Kairi laughed. He raised a brow.
"Why aren't you getting something?"
Kairi blushed. "A-ah, well..."
Suddenly, all the heads of the girls in the cubicles popped out.
"WHAT?"
"GO PICK SOMETHING OUT."
"GOGOGO!"
"DRAG AGITO-KUN ALONG WITH YOU."
"EHH?"
"OH FINE YAYOI. WE'LL PICK SOMETHING OUT FOR YOU."
And there was a second of silence as suddenly the girls had disappeared before there was a loud thump from one of the cubicles. The girls emerged from it and grinned to Kairi.
"All done. Now change into something you like!"
Kairi instantly knew why the cubicles were so large as she looked into hers. Agito's eyes just twitched - The fuck...?
"Agito, get out. No boys allowed. Go pick something for yourself ("Wait, but-") or find the other guys ("Those pervs? What-") JUST DON'T ANNOY US."
Agito paled and hurriedly walked out muttering 'yes m'am' and 'fuck, they're crazy' along with many other lines of disbelief.
The girls grinned and went back to their work and Simca's eyes instantly sparkled. "Let's go, girls," she smirked.
In the end, they decided to have their friends pick something for them which led to some very *cough* revealing swimwear bought...
(After a few hours of hardcore changing, the gang finally went back with either new clothes and smiles or sore backs and the reaper pitying them enough to not kill them.)
Kairi let out a sigh as she delicately slipped into the hot springs for the second time during their stay - So nice... She relaxed and let herself go as she allowed the hot water gentle embrace her bare skin and enjoyed the peace and quiet. There was no one around, it was a quiet night, and she could enjoy it all to herself. Life was-
"YAHOOO~"
SPLASH.
Kairi grumbled as a tidal wave came and swept her out of the hot springs and onto the wooden floor. 'Life is a bitch,' she thought to herself. Emily laid happily in the soothing sensations of the hot springs (OF YOUTH!) as she sang to herself happily. She blinked as she saw Kairi.
"Ne, what are you doing lying on the floor?" she asked innocently.
Kairi huffed and hopped back in. "I felt like it," she pouted.
Emily blinked then laughed. "Huwahaha! You're a funny one, Kai-chan!"
The rest of the girls emerged from the change rooms with towels around their body and slipped in unknown to what just happened.
"So," Simca piped up (she was always leading the group of girls), "I say we hit the beach and rock our bodies and get a few guys, huh girls?" she winked.
"I agree, I agree!" Emily cheered.
The rest sweatdropped. "Emily-chan... you already have a boyfriend," Ringo said.
"Oh... I do?... Ahahaha! Funny that!" Emily sang.
They all sweatdropped once again. How much alcohol had she been drinking?
"I like that idea," Kururu chirped. "We should go tomorrow."
"Then tomorrow it is!" Simca cried. She cocked her head to the side and yelled over the wooden barrier separating the different gender facilities. "YOU HEAR THAT BOYS?" she yelled. "WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH!"
There was a silence before a loud crash and a string of 'woots'.
"FUCK YES."
"PERVINESS RECHARGE."
"HOT GIRLS SCOUTING MODE."
"BE MORE EXCITED, YOU 12 YEAR OLD BOY WHO HAS YET TO HIT PUBERTY."
"FUCKING CROW."
"Ahh... Sorry, I'm not going."
...
"WHAAAAAT?"
Ringo yelled over to the other side, "Why not Buccha?"
"Ahh..."
Awkward silence.
...
Cough. "I'm going out with Sophie..."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"
...
ROFLOLMAO.
"You're kidding right?"
"Dude, how'd you do that, she's a fucking beat!"
"You sure..."
"Fuck!"
"I'm not kidding..."
...
"Oh my god, where's a counsellor when you need one..."
"... Thanks guys."
TBC.
POLL:
You guys all know I barely update, and I was just wondering if you guys preferred if I updated more often but have shorter chapters (like I have for the past two chapters. They're about 6 pages long on Word) or write longer chapters (12 pages) which will take me longer to update. I'm pretty sure it's obvious what you guys would prefer, but I know that some people prefer long chapters over short chapters so, yeah! Just making sure everyone's down with it ^^
AND DONT FORGET TO COMMENT ON THE NEW WRITING STYLE! :D
Love you guys soso much for sticking up with this silly & awfully slow author,
xx
