Festival of Costumes and Cooking
Disclaimer: From the author's note I do not own Marchen Awakens Romance anime or the characters. If I did though, Ginta and Alviss would be together and some characters would have been removed. The only characters I own is Kuno, Yukito, Mary, Kaolla, and Kisame who I created. Naru is a crossover character from Love Hina as Suzaku is from Fushigi Yugi. I also own Kuno's ÄRM and Suzaku's attacks. I also do not own Cutey Honey.
Me: NO MORE SCHOOL MEANS I CAN SPEND ALL DAY ON THE COMPUTER!
Yohko: HOORAY!
Me:…I need to lose weight though…and stop pissing my sister off.
Yohko: Like yeah! And you need to stop spoiling the story for your faithful reviewers.
Me: Gomen…anyway I will be introducing another Chess Piece and Alviss' Sukka form (like Judai's, Jun's and Eiji's.) This will be FUN! Part 1 of 6 before the Semi-finals begin!
Chapter 14: Festival of Costumes and Cooking
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alviss' POV
Just great! On the first day of break, Dorothy and Snow are already clinging to Ginta like a spoiled child. Jack and Nanashi tried to pull them off him as Alan, Babbo, and Edward stayed out of it. Bell was sitting on my shoulder. Suzaku however was annoying me the most asking me when I was going to confess to Ginta.
I'm not going to confess!
You're afraid of being rejected?
…You might say that.
Pussy cat.
HEY!
"HEY ALVISS!" It was Ginta as he manage to get those two girls away, "What happens on the first day of the break?"
"Nothing really. There's just a festival going on just to see who's the best dressed and the best chief to…" -me
"To what?" -Ginta
I blushed before I spoke, "The whole point of this…is to win the person's heart with your appearance and his stomach…"
"REALLY?!!" -Snow and Dorothy
"I'M GOING TO WIN YOUR HEART GINTAN!" -Dorothy
"Not if I could help it!" -Snow
The two girls rushed off. I was so pissed off! How dare they try to win Ginta's heart!
"Umm…Alviss are you okay?" Ginta asked me a little scared. I wonder why he was terrified.
"I'm okay. Why?" -Alviss
"…It's nothing." -Ginta
Watch the flames man! You're burning with rage!
Stay out of this Suzaku!
…Scary…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I managed to get away from the group as they went to find something to where for the festival. I decided to stay in my room where no one would bug me, or so I hope because…
Alviss. I think you should try to win Ginta's heart.
No way.
If you move too slow, then Dorothy or Snow will snatch him from you.
Doubt it. Ginta's so stupid, he probably doesn't know what the meaning "true love" is.
True, but I think you should use your Sukka form.
I paused, "Sukka what?"
Sukka form. Uses 27 of my full power, and the cutest from ever. You use your pendant and shout out GUARDIAN POSITION EARTH (Me: As in heaven, earth, and hell.)! The pendant will do the rest. I can't wait to see you in that cute costume.
Nani?
OH NOTHIG! Just hurry up before somebody hears you.
Whatever!
I opened the pendant that has been around my neck this entire time and said the words Suzaku told me, "GUARDIAN POSITION EARTH!"
Again I'm skipping the transformation scene until later chapters.
I WAS SO RIGHT! YOU ARE SO CUTE!
I open my eyes to see what I was wearing and I was like, "WTF?!" What was with the cat ears and cat tail? I was also wearing a blue dress with the pendant worn around my neck like a necklace like it usually is.
YOU LOOK LIKE ICHIGO FROM TOKYO MEW-MEW!
"Damn you! I look like a fool in this!" I cried.
Really? I think you look really sexy in it!
"You…"
Anyway, I think you're get Ginta's attention easily.
I didn't say anything as I tried my best to take it off. I heard Suzaku snicker which made me frown, "What's so funny?"
The Sukka form won't come off unless you complete a mission, and your mission is to impress your lover Ginta.
You just sign that mission right now, did you?
HELL YEAH!
FUCK YOU!
In the end Suzaku won the argument and I had to get out my room to go "flirt" with Ginta…or something like that.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ginta's POV
"GINTAN! How do you like my costume?" Dorothy asked me.
"It's alright," I told her. Truth is that she looked exactly the same except that she was wearing a witch hat.
"How about me Ginta?" Snow asked me.
"You look just as cute as Dorothy," I told her. She was wearing a blue dress with snowflakes on it. Nothing new to attract my attention.
"DOROTHY-CHAN LOOKS CUTE!" -Nanashi
"SNOW-CHAN IS BETTER THOUGH!" -Babbo
"Yes! Yes!" -Jack
Dorothy and Snow tried to get them away from here to be alone with me. Jack was wearing a money costume. Nanashi was wearing a knight costume. Babbo wore a pink hat over him. (Me: WTF?) Alan was in a clown costume…(I thought I was going to die looking at that.) Ed was in a inu costume which was particularly useless if he is already a inu. As for Bell, she was wearing pink glasses, but where was Alviss? I want to see what he'd dress up as…wait! Why am I picturing him in a cat costume? I'm crazy thinking he would wear something like that.
"Ginta…"
I turned around to see who was speaking to me. I thought I was in heaven when I saw what I saw.
"Ginta…is this costume…too…"
"Alviss, you look…" my voice trailed off because I was amazed on how good he looked.
Alviss' POV
Thank you, Nanashi! You got Dorothy and Snow away from my Ginta-chan…WAIT! I mean Ginta…
I was able to walk behind him without getting detected by anyone (or have any random guy flip my costume up.) When I called out his name, Ginta looked at me shocked. I guess he really didn't like the costume I was wearing.
"Sorry…if you don't like it Ginta," I began, "I'll go change…right now-" I said as I was about to run off when he grabbed hold of my tail. OW!
I forgot to mention. Your tail and ears are attached to you. If they get pulled on, it really hurts you.
You could have told me that sooner!
"Alviss…you look…really…adorable." -Ginta
I tried my best to hide the blush that was forming on my face, but it was nearly impossible. My ears drooped down while my tail curled up.
Told you he say that you were kawii.
S-Suzaku…please!
Ginta's POV
I told him that he was adorable and I thought that he'd scratch me for calling him adorable. To my surprise he didn't say anything, but I wonder why his face was turning all red. Was it because the costume was too tight? (Me: No Ginta! He's blushing from your compliment!)
I suddenly shivered when I felt Dorothy's and Snow's glare toward my back. Great. All I did was compliment Alviss, and they act like that.
Normal POV
Dorothy and Snow heard Ginta compliment of the neko costume that he was wearing. They weren't glaring at Ginta, but Alviss instead.
How dare he show off something so slutty in front of my Gintan! Dorothy thought to herself as she continued to show an icy cold glare at the neko boy.
Damn that Alviss! Getting praised better than me! Snow thought to herself as flames appeared behind her.
"Umm…princess?" -Edward
Ginta tried to ask Alviss why he was turning red, but Alviss kept turning away from him because he didn't want the blonde to see him blushing.
"Al-chan really does look cute in that costume." -Nanashi
"Yeah. He seems to look cute in anything." -Babbo
"Like that miniskirt?" -Jack
Alviss shot an icy cold stare at the farmer which silenced him immediately.
Dorothy and Snow couldn't stand Alviss getting Ginta's attention, so they went up to the two teens and pulled the blonde away from him asking him to watch them cook, and then try their cooking. (Me: I'm getting hungry.)
Jealousy is building within those two. Now Alviss, it's time for step two! Winning Ginta's heart through his stomach!
Whatever…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the girl's meeting room…
"NO, KUNO! I WANT TO FIGHT IN THE NEXT ROUND!" complained a little girl the same age as Snow. She was black with blonde hair.
"Gomen, Kaolla-chan, but the match has already been decided for a 6 on 6," Kuno told her.
"Why can't it be 7 on 7?" -Kaolla
"Sweatdrop Because the dice doesn't go up to seven," Loco mumbled.
"But…then I will never get a chance to battle! I wanted to fight that spoiled princess or that homely ass thief! They piss me off!" -Kaolla
"Look on the bright side. At least you won't die from Team MAR's hands," -Loco
"Yeah…I guess you're right…" -Kaolla
"I MISS AQUA-CHAN!" Chaton cried.
"I DO TOO! SUCH AN INNOCENT GIRL!" -Kuno
"Shut up gay pervert! You're annoying," Pano told him.
"Fine. Be that way!" Kuno pouted as he opened his Cutey Honey book and continued reading, but stopped on the same page as last time because he couldn't understand that part.
"What's wrong?" Chaton asked him.
"I can't solve this mystery, and if I can't solve it than I can't proceed to the next and final chapter." -Kuno
"What's the question?" -Pano
"The question is strange. What is your purpose in life?" -Kuno
"Purpose in life…does that include killing, looking at porn, and flirting with guys?" Kaolla asked him.
"I do that, but no. It seems," Kuno began, "That until my match with my Alviss, I can't proceed to the next chapter because for some strange reason, my purpose has to do with him."
"Weren't you guys friends six years ago?" -Chaton
"Yes. Actually he idolized me whenever I pulled an amazing stunt." -Kuno
"Or, perverted stunt." -Loco
"Be quiet Loco-chan!" -Kuno
"Address me as Loco. And act your age!" -Loco
"Sorry if I'm…like 32 years old!" -Kuno
"Really?! You look 28 with that magic surrounding you, and when that magic is gone you look like a handsome 20 year old." -Kaolla
"Thanks. People did say six years ago that I looked younger than I was, especially-" Kuno was cut off when Kaolla asked if she could participate in the semi-finals again, and Loco had to explain why she couldn't.
"No fair…" -Kaolla
"Kaolla," Kuno began as he faced her with a stern look, "We already decided who was going to fight in the semi-finals. That is Chaton, Koga, Pinocchio, Magical Lou, Ian, and I are going to be fighting in the next round, and if my calculation is correct the Chess Pieces will win 3-0 if I successfully capture Alviss in my match."
"How is that?" Pano asked.
"First, Chaton will be up against Alan and easily win the match since Alan has a fear of cats," Kuno began.
"I didn't know that." -Pano
"Well, when it comes to finding out people's weaknesses, I'm the champ. Then Alviss will be fighting after that and I will be fighting him. When the disguise is off and I continue talking crap about Suzaku…the REAL Suzaku, Alviss will break down and I will easily win the match capturing him in the process. I know that the blonde Ginta has been getting rather close to Alviss. His emotions will take control of him, and Ginta will step into the ring which Ian will kill. Ian will kill Ginta and the War Game ends and Magical Lou doesn't have to take off his disguise when he kidnaps Snow." -Kuno
"Two things. One, how do we know that they will fight in this order? Two, what happens if either you or Chaton loses?" Loco questioned.
"To answer your question. One, it's been a while since Alan thought, so he'd be dieing to go first, and I know that he still fears cats. Alviss looks up to Alan as much as he looks up to me, Danna, and Gaira, so when he sees one of the people he idolizes lose, he will bound to step in. Then when he sees me-" -Kuno
"We get it, but what happens if you lose?" -Kaolla
There was silence before Kuno spoke in a serious tone, "If I lose, then Ian will kill me. However it's a win-win situation because Alviss will be traumatized by my death. He already saw Mary, Naru, and Danna die in front of him, so seeing the last person he cared about six years ago die in front of his eyes will leave a big wound in his heart leaving Suzaku unstable until finally Suzaku takes over completely and come to us."
"You can't predict the future, so…" -Pano
"I can, but…" -Kuno
"But what?" -Chaton
"I CAN'T TELL YOU!" Kuno said with a smile on his face.
All the girls excluding Loco fell over.
"I really hate you Kuno. Just don't fail us again." -Loco
"Yeah. I couldn't bear to see another one of the Chess Piece Manga Group die." -Kaolla
"We already lost Aqua because of that bitch Rapunzel, so don't go dieing on us too." -Pano
"I won't fail you ladies!" -Kuno
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Alviss' POV
I let Suzaku took over for this part of the mission. Apparently Suzaku is very good at cooking. I allowed him to cook something that Ginta really liked, but when he was done, I did not know what it was. (Me: Going to keep the costume on until the sun goes completely down.)
"It's called onigiri," he told me.
Oni as in demon?
"NO! Onigiri as in rice ball! This is made in Ginta's world. I'm positive because when I was inside you six years ago, Danna mentioned something about rice balls." -Suzaku
But how did you know what it looked like?
"I knew what it looked like because my former master which she was a big pig, ate onigiri all the time." -Suzaku (Me: Referring to Miaka Yuki from Fushigi Yugi.)
Oh. Will he really like it?
"You bet! He'll like anything you give him!" -Suzaku
"Al, stop talking to yourself. You're creeping me out!" that was Bell.
How annoying. She came fluttering in complaining about how Dorothy's cooking smelling terrible. That's when she noticed the onigiri in my or Suzaku's hands.
"What is that?" Bell asked.
"Onigiri," Suzaku answered with his eyes closed. He did not want the pixie to see that my eyes were orange.
"Who is it for?" -Bell
"For a person I like." -Suzaku
SUZAKU!
"Anyway, I got to go to make find that person to make sure that that person doesn't get away!" Suzaku said quickly as he rushed out of the room leaving a very confused fairy fluttering in midair.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Suzaku finally found Ginta outside the castle where Snow and Dorothy were asking him to try out their cooking. My Guardian nearly fell over. Snow's cooking looked like a pump of garbage. It was all green and I could have sworn that there were flies flying over it. (Me: Eww!) Dorothy's cooking which was a cake looked practically normal, but in reality it smelled like road kill. (Me: That's worse!) Chances are that if it smelled bad, it would taste even more bad!
You're taking over Alviss! When Ginta runs off from to get a drink of water, nail him on the spot!
BUT!
GOOD LUCK!
With that I regained control of my body again. I was starting to get nervous. What happens if he doesn't accept my onigiri…
I saw him taste Snow's cooking, and he turned green. Poor Ginta. He then tasted Dorothy's and ran off somewhere to find a place where does water. This was my chance! I stalked after him without anybody noticing me.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ginta's POV
I thought I was going to die! They suck at cooking! I am never going to eat anything they cook again!
I ran to a place where there was a water fountain (Me: If there is one in MAR Heaven.) and tried to drink as much water as I could to get the taste out of my mouth.
"I am never eating something those two make ever again…" I mumbled.
I heard rustles coming from the nearby bush and I thought Are those two still after me to teat the whole thing? I can't take it anymore!
"FOR THE LAST TIME! I AM NOT EATING ANYTHING YOU COOK! IT'S HORRIBLE!" I shouted.
I froze when I noticed the cat tail popping out of the bush. Oh no. Don't tell me that the person I yelled at was…Alviss…
"Alviss is that you?" I asked.
He didn't say anything because he was too stunned. I should have known…
"ALVISS I DIDN'T MEAN IT! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SNOW OR DOROTHY!" -me
He got out of the bushes rather annoyed with me. Oh crap! He's not going to slap again is he?
"How do I know if you're telling the truth? I might be a burden like Snow or Dorothy." -Alviss
"I didn't mean it like that, it's just…" I noticed the onigiri that he was hiding behind his back. Looks really good, "What's that behind your back?"
"N-Nothing!" -Alviss
"It's an onigiri, right?" -me
"Suzaku told me it was from your world, so I…" Alviss trailed off. I understood what where he was getting at.
"Don't worry Alviss. I bet the onigiri isn't as bad as somebody else's cooking," I ensured him.
"You sure?" he asked.
"Positive." -me
Alviss sighed as he slowly made his way toward me, and handed me the onigiri. To tell you the truth I was pretty nervous. The onigiri might be poisonous…but what was there to lose?
I bit the onigiri, and…
Alviss' POV
GOOD JOB ALVISS! He took a bite out of YOUR cooking.
But you came up with the ideas, and made did all the cooking, so it is necessary yours.
You made it through the heart, so it's yours. GET USED TO IT!
But…
Ginta swallowed the onigiri. My heart thumped like crazy as if it were to burst. He looked down, and I thought he hated it.
"Ginta…chan?" -me
Ginta's POV
When I swallowed the onigiri, I thought my tongue was going to melt. It was so…
"Ginta…chan?" -Alviss
"It was so…DELICOUS!" I burst out loud making him fall over on his tail, "How did you make it this good Alviss?"
"It…was nothing really." -Alviss
"You could be a good husband one day with this skill," I told him as I took another bite of the onigiri.
Alviss' POV
What Ginta told me…what was this feeling. My heart kept skipping a beat.
"A good husband…" I mumbled to myself, "But what if…I…"
"It's the thought that counts Alviss," he told me as I felt his warmth when he got all close to me. I felt like fainting.
DON'T FAINT NOW! KISS HIM!
Nooooooooooooo! I won't do that.
…Pussy cat…
Normal POV
After Ginta got out of Alviss' face he again commented on Alviss' adorable cat costume which in return, Alviss blushed madly. The two were so distracted that they didn't notice the other members of Team MAR (excluding Alan) spying on them.
"Who does he think he is?" -Dorothy
"I wanted Ginta to compliment me." -Snow
"That onigiri looked so good." -Jack
"Al said that it was for a person he loved. Could he mean…" -Bell
"No. That was probably Suzaku talking and not Alviss." -Nanashi
"Still doesn't explain why he's all red." -Dorothy
"What am I lacking?" -Snow
"I want to pull on that tail." -Babbo
"I HATE NEKOS!" Ed screamed as his inu instincts kicked in. He jumped out of the bushes before the rest of the members of Team MAR could react. He bit Alviss' tail, and…
THAT BAKA FUCKING INU! THAT FUCKING HURTS!
Alviss whined like a cat as he fell to his knees.
"Alviss? Are you okay?" Ginta asked him.
"It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt," he chanted, but in reality it fucking hurt.
"EDWARD! GET OFF OF HIM!" Snow shouted as she leaped out of the bushes with the rest of Team MAR following her. Ginta, Alviss and Suzaku sweat dropped.
"And why are they here?" Ginta asked Alviss.
"No clue," Alviss answered.
EXCEPT TO RUIN THE MOMENT!
Everyone was so distracted of getting Edward off of Alviss' tail they didn't notice the evil aura of a Chess Piece lurking in the shadow of the trees. The Chess Piece was a mere Bishop, but had the same aura as the weakest Knights.
"That girl with the cat costume is hot. I think I'll have fun with her," he began as he licked his licks, "Enjoy your freedom while you can cat because you can't run away from the Animal Hunter Kisame!" (Me: Two things. LOL for thinking that Alviss was a girl and I just came up with a random name.)
With that he stalked off somewhere in a place that will attract a lot of attention from peers to make Team MAR come toward him and claim the neko girl…or boy. LOOK OUT ALVISS! HERE HE COMES!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Me: CUT!
Yohko: Oh man! It was just getting interesting!
Me: You think? This chapter was based on episode 46 and 47 in a way.
Aussa: We noticed.
Me: The next chapter Naru's daughter from another world will appear after Ginta kicks Kisame's ass for trying to claim Alviss as his own, so in that chapter LISTEN TO THE SONG PERVERT FROM NERF HERDERS BECAUSE HENTAI MOMENTS WILL HAPPEN!
Yohko and Aussa: YAY!
Me: By the way, here is Kaolla's profile.
Kaolla is a 18 year old girl, but looks the same age as Chaton. In fact she is Chaton's little sister. She is just as hyperactive as Chaton is. She is a Bishop, but won't be able to participate in the War Games because Kuno and Chaton requested it unknown to her. She isn't afraid to talk back to her higher ups when she thinks that their since of justice isn't fair which impresses most of the Knights especially Phantom. She has a crush on Peta, but is afraid to say anything about it. She hates Snow because Snow lived in a kingdom which her and Chaton didn't, and she hates Nanashi because he threatened to kill the person who slaughtered the Luberia thieves which was Peta. She is the leader of the Chess Piece Manga Group arranged by six members of the Chess Pieces which the people are Kaolla, Chaton, Kuno, Aqua, Loco, and Pano. (Loco was forced into the group.) She was very upset and disappointed in Rapunzel when the Knight killed Aqua, and was very pleased when Ian beheaded Aqua's killer. She is really close to the Chess Manga Group and can't afford another member to die because to her, they are family. She likes to compare herself to Alviss a lot because she mentions how she and Alviss are the same in which they were shunned by the world because of a demon living inside them. However Alviss had a real demon inside him as Kaolla only had the heart of a demon which resulted in her being shunned from the world. But because of the Chess Pieces, she opened up and is now like her sister Chaton. She is a Weapon ÄRM user that revolve around using rope like weapons like chains, and whips.
Yohko: Tired of talking?
Me: Yeah. One more thing, if you cannot guess who Kuno is at this point, you are not reading my story carefully or you are just plain dumb. This chapter gave the biggest hint on who Kuno is.
Yohko: She did not mean that in the offensive way!
Me: Anyway, thank you for reading this chapter. Review is good, and flagging is for perverts like Kisame. See you later. I need to decide whether to work on chapter 9 of The Song of Hope, chapter 2 of Dirty Little Secret, or the final chapter of Dark Memories. JA NE!
