Chater 9: The Little Mermaid Part 4
Narrator: Riku the Seeker of Darkness
Backstage
Riku: Hello! I'm so sorry to the fans of Eiji-kun… Right now he is in the hospital. Thus, I will take over his duty as a narrator for today.
Yuuta: Why is Kikumaru-san in the hospital? Though in this drama didn't have any injury, my pride has been badly injured at some point. Hey! Can I consider drinking the poison drinks an injury?
Yanagisawa: It's more than an injury, dane! You can die from the poison, dane!
Riku: Yuuta's pride… injured…*twitches and sighs* Because the neko-human hybrid and a peach got injured and poisoned by an angry, riled up Viper because they called him viper.
Audience: What?
Yuushi: Kikumaru and Momoshiro got injured by an angry, riled up Kaidoh because they called him viper.
Riku: That's what I said!
Audience: IT WASN'T!
Jackal: By poisoned you don't mean….
Riku: Yeah...I'm sure that all of you and the readers can guess by what I mean with the word poison. *smirks*
Yuuta and Jackal: *turns instantly pale and muttering in the same time* poor neko and peach…
Nioh: Wait… Jackal can turn pale?!
Akaya: HAhahaha! No way!
Gen: (tries to not to laugh and say anything because he's already on stage)
Nioh: Even Sanada approves. LOL
Previous chapter:
Being the protective father that he is…his mind reeling into the most sadistic way to scare away the suitors that both his youngest children fall for, leaving the eldest and 3rd sons chuckling in sadistic and evil way (isn't that normal for them? Why bother to describe?) and the shaking, scared brothers hugging in the corner.
-o0o-
Another week passed by and the twins once again went to the surface and hid near a large coral to observe their own loves. They are always betting who is the winner on the tennis game ( they just learned its name after three weeks of 'stalking') Much to their amusement, the games until now are tied at 5 wind sand 5 losses each.
When sunset finally came, both the human princes decided to return to their castle. Unbeknownst to them, that they dropped their some of their precious items. Seeing something shiny floating on the ocean heading towards them, they went ahead and grabbed it.
"Hey… isn't this Ryoga's necklace?"
"Buchou…I mean Tezuka-san's bangles"
(We all know who said what)
Knowing to whom did the items once belonged, the twins then decide to wear them and vowed one day, they would return them to their owners.
They then dived back to Atlantica.
The night time came…the twins giggled and talked in hushed voices to decide what will they do tomorrow while admiring their new accessories.
After breakfast in the next morning, they decided to go to their grotto. Unknowing that their father and a very worried Oishi the crab are following them. When they arrived there, the twins started to clean the grotto. Its took them a few hours to finish cleaning, but if you look closely, you could see that everything so sparkly clean.
Nanjiroh: You should do that at home too, boy!
Riku: *cough* Please remain silent while the play is ongoing.
Nanjiroh: (Mumbles about how his pride as a parent was hurt)
When the twins decided to rest, they sat on the shoulders of each of their own prince. Marui was sitting on Ryoga's right shoulder while Ryoma sat on Tezuka's left. They were talking about their favoured choice of clothing for their second elder brother, Atobe Keigo's party.
Yukimura: Ryoma sat on the left shoulder of Tezuka's statue on purpose, didn't he?
Fuji: Saaa… that wasn't really a nice joke there, Ryoma.(laughs secretly)
Jackal: Then why are you laughing like you're enjoying it?
Fuji: *looks at Jackal with open eyes*
Jackal: *passes out*
Not knowing what will turn their life upside down, or in this case, for the worst thing to happen to our Ariel wanna-be…they discussed the forbidden topic.
"You know what?" started the eldest of the twin.
"What?" replied the youngest.
"I think I started to like this, I mean we haven't being objected on embarrassing moments yet"
"Yeah…I know what you mean…But this past week has been a hell for me. Not to mention, my oyaji got new material to tease me with *insert lots of twitching on teasing part*"
"Ahahahahahahaha… *sweatdrop*" Marui laughed in an awkward, pitiful tone.
Both King Genichrou and Oishi the crab feel sorry for Ryoma and are praying for his sanity to hold on until this fanfic ends.
"Anyway… putting pity party aside, what do you think of both Tezuka and Ryoga-san?" asked Marui
"Hmmm? Buchou is cool aniki is baka aniki" Ryoma replied. That earned him a line of beautifully crafted line of curse from his brother.
" *stares at the comically big bump above Ryoma's head that he got from an angry Ryoga, clears his throat and continues* anyway….I just wish I could marry Ryoga-sama. *he himself and Ryoga both made a weird expression on their faces* And I'm sure you do think the same thing with Tezuka-san, right?"
An expression weirder than that of Marui and Ryoga formed on Ryoma and Tezuka's faces, Ryoma then said:
"That's right…I wish I can kill myself….I mean marry Tezuka bu…..I mean Tezuka-sama."
As the twins continue with the wedding topic, Oishi started to worry about the king's health (and life) as he keeps twitching as his sons kept on dreaming about marrying human princes.
The word of 'Human prince' made the enraged king go into rage mode.
Kirihara: Isn't fukubouchou always in rage mode?
Riku: Shhh! We're getting into the good part heeeeere!
Kirihara: Gomen! Gomen!
The king in his rage then using his Racket or in our case his trident and unleash a powerful magic called Fu-rin-ka-in-zan-rai and destroy almost all things in the grotto. This made his sons angry. They left while cursing him, leaving him alone with Oishi inside the grotto.
After leaving their father, both Ryoma and Marui are crying (using eyes drops for fake tears). Marui and Ryoma found themselves being surrounded by two familiar eels, Kachiro and Katsuo.
"Gomen-ne Ryoma-kun…" said both the eels as their masters appear.
N/A: uh-oh…the evil witches finally appear….what will they do? Will they help the twins meet their princes? Stay tuned to find it out.
Mini Review Reply Corner: Seigaku part 2
3rd year class room
Riku: *Big sigh* Maaaan! I beaten up already…*face slammed at the table*
Syuu: *chuckling* maaa….How about you take a break some time?
Oishi: That's right…you still haven't fully recovered from the effect of Inui juice from the Cinderella drama.
Riku: Uggggh… please be kind and don't mention those two dreaded words already! The aftertaste of aozu is still on my tongue!
Syuu: It sure is really deadly one.
Oishi: No kidding. After all, it is strong enough to have knocked you out.
Syuu: *nervously chuckling as he remembered the event that led him to drink aozu.* Inui still have my nemesis.
Tezuka: Is that a new drink from Inui? That Aozu.
Riku: Nah…it's kinda of the old ones. Aozu was created when you were at Germany for the rehabilitation of your arm.
Tezuka: So it was that time? No wonder I had a gut feeling back then, as if something happened here in Japan.
Riku: Well, something really did happen.
Syuu and Oishi: *twitching and mumbling* Lucky bastard…
Riku: Anyway, even if I'm beat, I can't rest just yet. I just get a new beta.
Oishi: Oh? Really? Who is it?
Tezuka: It seems like from one of our fans who are sending letters these past few days.
Riku: That's right. In fact I will meet her right now! Bye! *waves*
Syuu and Oishi: Bye-bye! *waves back*
Tezuka: *reads a book*
Riku: Why so cold Kuni-bu…
Tezuka *twitches*
TENNIS COURT A
Riku: Hey Minna-san! Right now I'm at tennis court A and I have Kawamura Takashi-kun.
Takashi: Hello minna-san *smiles*
Riku: Kawamura-kun can you read this letters for us? (makes sure there is no tennis racket nearby)
Takashi: We have 3 letters from Ice spy with no eyes, the first one: "P.s. it's not "mas" it's supposed to be "were" I don't know how I made that typo but it's a typo XD".
Riku: *nods* next please.
Takashi: Seems like its related to the second letter: "The cookies you gave me mas baked underwater. They're salty, and wet. I'll just ask yuuta for some sweets. Or maybe just ask him to accompany me in *ahem* invading Marui-kun's lunchbox while he's being all mermaidmanboy whatever for sure he's got better sweets than underwater cookies from Oishi."
Takashi: And the third one is: "To actually have Niou-kun say my pen name is cool…..I…I'm…*passed out because I'm a Niou fan* the Other witch…could it be…Inui? He's scary. When he got any liquid container at hand. (Liquid in this case coz I don't even know if Inui drinks are still "drinks"
Riku: thanks…kawamura-kun
Takashi…ieee…not a problem *back to the practice*
Riku: Right! Nah it's not a problem. I make lots of typo too. And about the cookies…that's right! They were baked when Oishi's still underwater but I'm sure he will bake the next batch at the shore next time ^-^. And please take me along to when you and Yuuta go to raid Marui's lunch box! Anyway. I'm happy for you for having Niou say you pen name. Ahhh… I hope one day one of my favorite characters in this fanfic say my pen name too.
Riku: anyway I will now hand the baton to my new Beta who's now at the Court C with Inui and Kaidoh
Tennis Court C
Ice: Oh my god. Why court C?! Riku got all the good stuff by being with the good people at the 3rd year classroom!
Kaidoh: Who are you?
Ice: Eeeeek! It's Kaidoh-san! (rattles)
Kaidoh: Fssssh but outsiders are not allowed here.
Inui: You are one of the viewers of the play, aren't you? Ice Spy With No Eyes-san?
Ice: *Whispers* I'm good as dead. *turns to Inui* H-how did you know?
Inui: I have your data.
Ice: Oh no you don't!
Inui: You're the one who said that I'm scary when I got any liquid container at hand. Liquid in this case coz you don't even know if my drinks are still "drinks". My, I'm fatally wounded.
Ice: I SO did not say anything like that! I am just Riku-san's Beta!
Kaidoh: Be-beta?
Ice: Yep! And my job now is to have you guys read the remaining two letters from IloveReading-san and AstridClaire-san! (Gives Inui and Kaidoh one letter each. Kaidoh-san, please begin!
Kaidoh: I got AstridClaire-san's letter. It says "i'm going to have a little moment to fangirl as Syuu just read my review. ... okay, i'm done. hmm, if it's Tezuka's rival... Inui...?" (Looks at Inui) More and more people are pointing their fingers at you, senpai.
Ice: Like I did! …Anyhow, Astrid-chan, first off, I think your letter should have been read back at the third year classroom. Nobody here on court C will be able to comment on your fangirl moment. Well, maybe I can! Coz I can feel you! I had that moment when Niou-kun read my letter. Let's have a toast to that!
Inui: Speaking of toast, you two might want to try out my new Inui Go-ya and muscovado—
Ice: (Hiding behind Kaidoh) Fat chance, Inui-san!
Inui: What a shame, the contrasting taste of bitter and sweet are really good. You just let a wonderful chance slip away.
Ice: The chance was there but it's not wonderful. Please read the last letter, Inui-san. We don't have the whole day.
Inui: It's a letter from ILoveReading-san. It says here… "Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry if I hurt your feelings Kaido-kun... or should I call you mamu-chan? Hmm... Anyway, to make it better, here is a Karupin plushie! Ok, I hope this is right... Is the mysterious witch Inui? *fingers crossed* Oh, and do you like your new nickname ku-ni-bu? hehehe... To author-san: Oh yeah, that fact completely slipped my mind...XD I think she will be great for the handzel and gretel witch! :D Gambatte! Fight-o!" I see, another person saying that the witch is me.
Ice: Inui-san… did you just read the letter in a monotonous voice? It's supposed to be an energetic one! Well. That aside, Love-san, I think Kaidoh's fine, (turns to Kaidoh) aren't you, Kaidoh-san?
Kaidoh: (Hisses and looks away)
Ice: *Whispers* he's tough! But you better not call him Mamu-chan in public or in Momoshiro-kun's presence. We don't know how'd it tear his sanity apart and WW3 might start from point blank *winks and chuckles* And as for your note for Riku-san, maybe she'll answer it when we'll meet.
Ice: That's all! My job's done and over, for now. Oh! Before I forget, Kaidoh-san, you have a package from Love-san! *throws box at Kaidoh* That may be the Karupin plushie she mentioned in her letter.
