This chapter is Bishonen galore, that it is… though not the best chapter I think I've ever written.
Chapter 21
"So why are Kate's released bishies here?" Sarah asked once the commotion has died down and the rich girl was swept away by her horde of bishies to some other place where she's to meet more past bishies of hers. Demoonica had kindly volunteered to help sort the arrangements out with them… after Kate gave her an evil eye, hinting that if the BWSD cadet helped her, then she'll guarantee a pay rise.
Yannie took the huge chocolate sundae Link offered – he had figured out how to make sundaes with the ice-cream machine and the fruits and sauce display beside it. The elf quickly dashed back to the dessert aisle again to make another, loving the fact that his trainer has a bottomless pit for a stomach thus will eat all the desserts he brings back and entitling him to make even more.
"Kate made a deal with the BWSD, if they would swap the guardians from guarding her to help investigating the er…investigation and bring in her past-bishies to guard her instead, Kate will obediently stay within the hotel premises and even help in the investigation if needed. Since all her past-bishies are well into the Sama stage before Kate released them, they're very experienced and of such a big variety and have enough power to guard the girl from any attacks." Yannie explained in between mouthfuls of ice cream.
Link wandered back and deposit another huge sundae, in Sarah's lap this time but since the girl was too busy eating her pizza, Emo Sasuke sneaked it away claiming that depression needs sugar when it was actually because he secretly likes melons which was what the sundae was nearly overflowing with.
"But how can they all wander around like this so easily?"
"Easy, the BWSD went to their cities and requested for the bishies, all that can come are willing to come. Transport the bishies here and all Kate needs to do now is re-catch them. Apparently she also needs to take medication to speed up the bonding process so the bishies could cover the entire hotel premises within seconds of capture if needed. Then she's to take jabs that will cancel out the three-mile separation rule in case there's a teleporter among the enemies that could teleport her bishies out of range till she's defenceless."
Sarah pouted, "how come you know all these stuff and I don't?"
"Because she doesn't spend half her time in the buffet." Cho kindly answered for Yannie, "plus, I saw her ambush the guardian that was guarding me in the corridors and refuse to un-glomp herself from her Yuki Sohma until she tells her what is happening and why so many bishies are running around."
-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-
"Ahahahaha, of course you couldn't have forgotten about my brilliance. As my presence is too wondrous to be forgotten that easily!" Ayame boasted loudly, positioning himself directly under one of the lights in the conference room they're borrowing. Kate gave a dramatic sigh and winced as her Hatori neatly slid a needle into her arm.
"Two more doses and it'll be finished." Sai comforted from beside her as he and Duo work on getting all the bishies into their appropriate Bish-balls.
"Ayame, stay quiet. You're disturbing my patient" Hatori ordered and the snake immediately shut up. Hatori quickly loaded up another needle. Ayame was always obedient whenever Hatori asks even though Hatori is the one that he likes to annoy most of the time.
"How many came back?" Kate asked trying to ignore the syringe Hatori is examining.
"Out of the list of one hundred, seventy three came back." Yuzuki droned.
"Just like Yuzuki to remember all the details!"
"Ayame"
"Yes, Hatori. Shutting up"
"That's better than expected. I'm guessing Goku didn't come back?" Kate asked as she frowned at the amount of drugs that still needed to go into her body.
"Which one? Dragonball or Saiyuki?" Duo asked
"Both"
"Nah, Dragonball Goku settled down with a family and Saiyuki Goku got promoted to train Chibi Gokus in his area" Sai explained.
"Any flying types came back?"
"The entire Teen Titans team came back, Chrno is here too… somewhere. Howl, Kratos, Sakura…"
"Wah! Kawaii! Ganny grown so much!"
"Leeka!" Ganny's voice squealed.
"…and Arika's back too." Sai finished as the chibi Ganondorf was tossed into the air by an overly hyper Arika Yumemiya bishoujo from the series, Mai Otome.
"Anybody unexpected?"
"Rue is back. Don't know who told her about it but she's here even though we only sent out for fighting capable bishies that we know is not tied up elsewhere."
"It's okay. Her raven minions could come in handy."
Demoonica suddenly appeared beside them all, looking flustered and entirely overworked. "I've cleared your bishies with the hotel manager."
"Good work. He's a stubborn man. How did you manage?" Kate asked as she stuck out her arm for her blood pressure to be taken.
Demoonica made a face at the bottles of drugs that Kate still need to take even after the injections. And she thought the serum that the BWSD made her take was bad. She's never going to request for a 'Rapid Bond' treatment if this is the amount of stuff she'll have to take.
"Yeah, Bakura popped out of his Bish-ball halfway though my negotiation. He started flirting, chatting up and suggesting… disturbing things to the manager that he finally signed the clearance form just to get rid of my Yami Bakura."
Kate nodded, "Bakuras are strange like that. Which is why I never had one…" the millionaire turned her head to her bishies. "Sai, Duo, Yuzuki grab Minako, Shigure, Kratos and Robin and start the plans."
In a flash all the captured bishies were out and those mentioned immediately bunched together to settle down by the table to start their discussion. Those that aren't part of the meeting stood idly chatting away, eager to catch up on gossip.
"All done" Hatori droned, closing his doctor kit.
"Good, Hatori, get Edgeworth and see if you can get your hands on the BWSD report on that tortured Sasuke. Bring Demoonica with you to speed up the clearing process."
The cursed Sohma raised an eyebrow at the request then shrugged and wandered off into the crowd in search for the lawyer which Kate called back to help Sai handle the politics and talk.
Demoonica slumped her shoulders and her Edward Elric gave her a worried look. "Kate, can I not take a break?"
Kate turned to eyed her form. "Was just going to offer you one. Just help Hatori get the report and you can have the rest of the day off if you want."
The cadet brightened and Kate quietly filed a mental memo to herself about getting the girl a decent pay-rise.
The teenager pulled on the Bish-belt that Duo had left beside her, feeling complete with it on. She ran her fingers over the silver and black capture balls attached on it, getting use to the weight of having so many Bish-balls again. It felt safe now that so many bishies are under her again. Perhaps she should consider being a Bishi-master again.
-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-
"AUTUMN-CHAAAAAN!"
Autumn didn't even have time to turn around before she was bulldozed to the ground by the small trainer.
"Aw, Au-pon, your little friend is here too," Fay helpfully said.
"I think I know," the bespectacled teen answered whilst trying to unpeel her face from the lush hotel flooring.
Sarah's hugging suddenly stopped and then there was a loud squeal and Autumn's body was abandoned on the floor like rubbish.
"CHRIIIIISTINE-CHAAAAAN!"
"Crap!" somebody swore. The new trainer must be used to this reaction from Sarah and had started to run for the nearest lift at the sound of her name being called like that.
THUD
She didn't make it though.
"I MISSED YOU, CHRISTINE-CHAN!"
"Sarah! You're supposed to glomp bishies not trainers!" was Christine's anguished cry as her Sephiroth promptly ignore his trainer's pleas for help once again. Who knows what that chibi of a trainer would do? Maybe she'll even glomp him if he gets close! Maybe she's actually infected with glomping cooties and it might be contagious!
There was a bright beam of light and Hiei escaped his Bish-ball once again.
"What the hell are you doing, you stupid trainer? How am I to sleep when…"
GLOMP
"WAAAAH! I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT YOU LOOK SO YUUUMMMY!"
Meanwhile, Fuji-san was busy unpeeling his trainer from the carpet when Sarah's bishies finally caught up with their over-excited trainer.
"Oooo, hello there handsome! We meet again-dattebayo," Naru-chan cooed and fluttered her blonde lashes at the Fay.
"Yes, we meet again, Naru-san," Fay replied with a smile whilst nervously trying to edge away from the flirt.
"Did you miss me-dattebayo?" Naru-chan pouted leaning more towards the mage till her baby blues clapped onto the figure standing beside Christine. "Heeeelllo-ttebayo. What's a smexy guy like you doing out of heaven, dattebayo?"
"Would anyone here please explain what is happening here?" Kate asked pushing up her glasses as Saibaby and Duo tried to help the two Sasukes detached Sarah from the Hiei who is turning purple from oxygen deprivation.
-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-
"Is there a single day where you don't cause any trouble to anyone?" Yannie sniggered as they were once again back in the Sarah's favourite place, the buffet. In fact because the little trainer visit this place so much, the waitresses doesn't even bother trying to clear the plates anymore. So now rather than trying to clear it every few seconds only to have another to clear a second later, they automatically wheel out a trolley to Sarah's table every time the girl visits and replace it when it gets full.
"I don't cause trouble!" Sarah barked back showering all her peers with crumbs of lemon meringue.
"Don't talk with your mouth full!" 'None' chided and growled when Link planted a melon sundae in front of the Sasuke. "I don't like melon!"
Link blinked then with his gauntlet hands pushed the sundae further down the table to emo Sasuke who also growled – not because he hates melon but because he didn't like the fact that the elf knows what he likes.
"Oooo, you're so romantic when you're silent, dattebayo!" Naru-chan cooed and tried to lovey-dovey feed strawberry sundae into Sephiroth's mouth, which is sealed shut in the form of a grim line. Christine on the other hand could not stop sniggering at her Final Fantasy villain's discomfort and the betting pool that was happening at the other end of the table.
"Two minutes before he'll snap!" Duo challenged throwing down the coins he found in his pockets.
"Two minutes before he snaps and stain his hands in Naru-chan's blood!"
"Ooo, good one, Sai!"
"I bet three minutes before he snaps and ten seconds in disconnecting Naru-san from her gut!"
"Gruesome!" the pair chorused, "I like this new guy already!"
"Did you hear that, Au-pin? They like me! Ne, Au-pin, can I have some money to bet with?"
"Gambling's not good for you."
"Fuji-pon, you're no fun!"
Autumn was now seriously wondering if she is the only normal one within this big group that is gathering in this restaurant. There's the flirty Naruto bishoujo, the two mischievous pranksters of Kate's, the persocom and the rich manipulative demon, the young trainer who could challenge saiyans in an eating contest, the Hiei that keeps arguing with his trainer, the evil chibi Ganny that busy throwing meatballs at the girly Marth and… Autumn sighed. She's not even going to bother trying to think of a descriptive title for the smexy Sephiroth, her Fay and Fuji-san.
Fuji-san?
Ah yes! There is another sane one here! How could she have missed him?
Fujitaka sweat-dropped as he stared down at his trainer who is busy giving him appreciative looks and wondered if he's the only one not struck down by the disease called 'strange-ness'.
Yannie had managed to stop her snickering long enough to kindly explain the situation to the confused Sarah (who is not as confused now since 99 percent of her brain is focused on food in front of her). "The BWSD is gathering all the involved trainers here for protection in case they became potential targets. Sort of like us being here because of the Sasuke incident"
"I'm here because there was a time when they thought I was a suspect when my dex was malfunctioning." Autumn explained and Sarah thought back to the day when Kate threw the police station upside down to prove Autumn innocent.
"Why are you here then?" Sarah asked Christine littering the girl's face with bits of food.
"Apparently I skimmed one of the murderer's electromagnetic fields a few weeks back. My dex wasn't malfunctioning but every incoming message flew to voicemail. It sort of corrected itself after a while though…"
SLAM
They all blinked at the new table that's been shoved against theirs.
"Nya! Why are you having a slumber party without me, nya?" Miru complained loudly from the other side of the new table.
"Miru-chan. A slumber party involves pyjamas and pillows, not food and restaurants." Demoonica kindly pointed out as she sat herself down by the new table whilst Cho and her bishoujo, Eureka were busy keeping an angry and over-protective chibi Vincent from attacking Yami Bakura who was busy flirting with Cho.
Link quickly deposited another dozen of sundaes in front of the new appearances and Demoonica quickly made a grab for the prettiest looking sundae. Miru chirped and fought with her Kiku-chan! for the strawberry one.
"Are you guys here for the murder case too?" Christine asked.
Cho finally sat herself down. "Is this the murder case I heard about on the news?"
"Yes, that one."
"Nya? Murder? Lulu, did you start the world domination plan 13 without me? I thought you said to…"
Miru's Lelouch quickly clamp a hand over his trainer's mouth. "They're not supposed to know our plans! Baka!" he hissed. "And no, I didn't start it. It's too risky and has an even higher chance of landing all of us in jail for the rest of our lives, than plan 6."
Kate raised an eyebrow at the two's conversation but chose to ignore it. Another mental sticky note filed into her head. Recruit the hyperactive Miru and her Lelouch into either the guardians or the BWSD before they start causing troubles. At least if they're recruited, they're causing havoc under a watchful eye.
"No, I'm here because Yannie brought us here." Cho said and Autumn blinked at the girl's prettiness, wondering if the girl's a real human or an unknown bishoujo. Christine opted for a much less subtle approach. The Sephiroth trainer lifted the tablecloth and peeked underneath to check if the pretty Vincent trainer's Bish-belt is real or not.
"I'm here," Jason said, once again appearing from seemingly nowhere. "Because I got caught appearing in the electronic field when I first came to this world. It caused so much trouble, it's troublesome." Jason frowned. "Basically, I wasn't in the records of the newbies that were appearing on that day. You wouldn't believe the amount of questioning they made me go through."
Kate raised an eyebrow at the usually silent teen who shrugged. "I'm curious. If I'm to stay here with you girls, I may as well get to know a little bit about you. Safer to know if who I'm stuck with and their capabilities."
"I like your way of thinking." The rich trainer nodded with approval.
"Nya," Miru furrowed her brows, "Nya, I'm not sure why I'm here. I think it's because Sarah-chan dragged me along, nya." She pondered more before her expressions changed.
"Sa… it's also where all the entertainment is…" Miru stated in a deathly cold and evil voice.
Autumn looked at the 'evil' Miru curiously. "Is she always like this?"
Sarah took this time to join the talk and making everyone at the table lean back as she started spraying bits of stew from her mouth, "Yeah! She's fun, neh? She's Miru and she has two personalities. That one's Cho and she's pretty. This is Christine and she's a smexy Sephiroth trainer. This is Kate, she's rich and she feeds me. This one is Autumn and she treats me the nicest!"
"Ahem!" Two voices coughed.
"Oh, and that's Demoonica, she's a BWSD ca…car…carro…rot…ca…"
"Cadet," Sasuke helpfully provided.
"Cadet," Sarah said as if she thought of if all by herself, "And this is Yannie and she…" Sarah frowned, this time truly at loss of words and finally said, "She freeloads off Kate with me."
"HEY!" Yannie yelled in mock indignation and ruffled the younger trainer's hair. She can't complain since what Sarah said is indeed true.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"So…what do we do now?"
"Well, none of us will be going anywhere including Cho and Miru since they will be seen as involved now, by the murderers." Kate provided. "So…hang around the hotel till the BWSD solve this case."
"Or till Kate throws a fit and orders our release from this safe house"
"That's another thing we could bet! How long till Kate throws a fit?"
"A week!"
"Six days!"
"Four days, seven hours, nine minutes and ten seconds!" Fay proclaimed loudly.
"Ooo, accurate. This new guy's good!"
"Are you sure I can't have a bit of money, Au-pin?"
"Maybe we should get the temporary bishies into this as well?"
"Yeah, whatever Hanajima is betting on, I'm betting! Girl as a knack for winning these things!"
-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-
"So… Christine right?" Yannie asked after a moment of silence.
"Yeah… Yannie?"
"That's me…" Yannie scratched her head trying to find something else to say and she could tell the Sephiroth trainer in front of her was trying to do the same thing. Sarah had disappeared with her brown haired friend, Autumn since the girl is the only one here that seems to listen to her whining and actually shows genuine concern about them whilst the others simply drowns her out after a few sentences. Really the young trainer complains far too much…
Cho left to tuck her napping chibi Vincent into bed, Miru is off… somewhere to vent off her hyperactivity and Demoonica disappeared to the shops before her kleptomaniac, Yami Bakura walks out the doors with everything on display in his pockets.
Kate had done her vanishing act again to do whatever it is rich business trainers do, thus leaving Yannie and the Sephiroth trainer alone in the buffet. Inuyasha grunted loudly and glared at the other silver haired bishi in the vicinity. "You look strong enough. Wanna fight?"
Sephiroth raised an elegant eyebrow. The dog hanyou wants to spar? Smoothly he lifted himself off the wall he was leaning against. Without anything else to do, their two trainers quickly followed the two out the doors. And that was how a new friendship began.
-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-Bish-Bash-
"They are all grouped together." Forest explained.
"Perfect." The other voice stated with a grin.
