Disclaimer: I don't own Fushigi Yuugi. I do own Takemi, Kotono, Kakeru, and myself, along with any other character I might make up. But the Fushigi Yuugi characters aren't mine.
Notes: I got a few reviews, and so, since I don't have anything better to do, I wrote the next part. This part takes place about a week after the first chapter. Here it is, enjoy!
~ # ~
It was three o'clock and classes were over, so most people were in their rooms. Kotono, Ryuuen, and a girl named Michi, however, weren't. They were at Kouji's room, which was now also Houjun's room. They were giggling and talking cheerfully.
"I don't see why ya'll had ta come with him." Kouji grouched from his bed. Ryuuen stuck his tongue out at the other boy.
"He's right." Houjun said quietly. "You really didn't need to come..."
"Nonsense!" Kotono announced, placing some books on an empty shelf. "We want to be friends, and this is what friends are for!"
Houjun smiled slightly. Friends...even if they were giggling, gossipy girls...uh...and guy. As they worked at unpacking Houjun's bags the girls, and Ryuuen, talked happily, trying to include Houjun.
"...and he's getting moved to my room!" Ryuuen complained. "I was hoping I'd get to keep the room to myself until...Hotohori comes..."
He sighed dreamily. Michi blinked.
"Hotohori is a guy?" she asked. "The way you described him I thought he was a girl!"
Ryuuen shook his head.
"Nope...he's a guy!" he said firmly. Houjun shook his head slightly.
"Why does it matter if you share a room with 'Hotohori' or Genrou?" he asked. Ryuuen grinned evilly.
"Cause if I share a room with Hotohori...then we can..." he started. Kotono clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Trade manga!" she finished. "And Genrou doesn't own any, see?"
Houjun rolled his eyes. He wasn't stupid. He knew what the boy was going to say. He also noticed the glare that Ryuuen was receiving from Kouji. He thought, Genrou and Kouji? He hadn't ever met the other boy, but he could tell, from the way that Kotono gossiped about him, that he and Kouji were real close. He shrugged and pulled some clothes out of his bag and shoved them in a drawer.
~ * ~
"Where's Kouji?" Keiko asked as she let Genrou into her room. Takemi and Kakeru were already there. Genrou sat on her bed.
"He's at his room." He said. "He said that he didn't want the girlies getting' their hands on his stuff. Whatever that meant."
"Oh, Houjun is gonna be sharing a room with him, he must be moving in now, and Kouji wanted to 'supervise'." Takemi suggested.
"But, 'girlies'?" Genrou said. "He never uses the word 'girlies'. He'dve said 'girls'."
"Girlies..." Keiko thought. "Oh! I know! I noticed that Houjun hangs around with Ryuuen, Kotono, and Michi. He must've meant them! He couldn't say 'girls' cause of Ryuuen, but the word 'girlies' fits."
Genrou shrugged. Then he noticed something. (wow...)(okay, sorry...I love him you know I do!) There was a pillow and covers on the usually vacant bed across from Keiko's.
"You gettin' a roommate?" he asked. Keiko looked at the bed.
"Yeah." She said. "Her name is Haku Kaen."
"What's she being sent here for?" Kakeru asked. Keiko shrugged.
"Dunno." She said. "But I heard something about her having tortured kids at her old school."
"Torture...?" Takemi shuddered.
"Well, if she gives ya any trouble..." Genrou snarled. "Ya can call me an' Kouji on over ta beat the shit outta her!"
Keiko grinned.
"Thanks." She said. "But I think I can handle her."
Genrou shrugged. Just then there was a knock on the door. Keiko got up and answered it.
"Kouji!" she said, letting the boy in, trying not to laugh. Genrou, however, wasn't so polite. He cracked up.
"Shaddup!" Kouji yelled. Kakeru was grinning, Takemi was hiding a laugh behind his hands, Keiko was chewing furiously on her lip, smirking, and Genrou was rolling on the bed laughing his head off.
"What happened!?" Kakeru asked, grin still in place.
"They attacked me!" Kouji said, sitting down on Keiko's bed, next to Genrou, with a huff. Genrou pulled himself together and sat up. Kouji was pouting.
"I like the eye-shadow." Keiko said grinning like a maniac. "Brings out the color in your eyes. And the lipstick goes so well with your skin..."
"Is that mascara blue?" Takemi asked smiling.
"No, it's black." Kakeru said seriously. "It only looks bluish because of his eyes."
Genrou cracked up again. Someone knocked. Keiko went and opened the door. She was surprised by who stood there...
"R-Ryuuen!" she gasped. She had never spoken to the boy before. Much less had him come to her door. Ryuuen peered into the room behind her.
"Is Kouji here?" he asked. Keiko nodded and let him in silently. At the sight of the crossdresser, Kouji hid behind Genrou. Ryuuen grinned.
"What do you want!?" Kouji whimpered. Ryuuen grinned wider.
"Don't you want it?" he asked. Kouji looked up.
"Want what?" he asked warily. Ryuuen held up a small bottle of makeup remover. Kouji lunged at him. Ryuuen delicately dodged him, holding the bottle away from him. Keiko, Genrou, Kakeru, and Takemi watched in amusement and Kouji tried vainly to get the bottle from the shorter boy.
"Give it!" Kouji yelled. Ryuuen laughed. "Give it to me NOW bitch!"
"Bitch?" Ryuuen asked, fluttering his eyelashes. Genrou rolled his eyes. "Now is THAT nice?"
Kouji growled. After about five minutes, Kouji sat down on the floor in front of Ryuuen and glared up at him. Ryuuen grinned down at him.
"Would you PLEASE just GIVE it to me already!" he yelled, out of breath. Ryuuen smiled and handed it to him and left. Kouji stared after him and Keiko burst out laughing.
"You..." she giggled. "You had to say PLEASE!"
She leaned on Takemi's shoulder body racked with laughter. Kouji looked ready to either kill, or go out for a fancy dinner. Add a dress and he'd be downright pretty. Kouji stalked away to the bathroom. By the time Keiko and, now Genrou, had calmed down, Kouji was knocking on the door, makeup gone. He sat down next to Genrou. Kakeru eyed them, noticing that they were sitting a little TOO close. He shrugged it off.
~ * ~
"...finally said it!" Ryuuen was saying with a giggle. "Took him long enough!"
"That was mean!" Kotono scolded. Ryuuen smirked.
"But it was fun." He said. He closed his eyes and pretended to shudder. He continued in a low, breathy voice. "Do you have ANY idea how..._sexy_...he looked...body writhing around, twisting this way and that, face determined, sweating slightly...mmm..."
He licked his lips. Kotono, Michi, and Houjun's faces were bright red. Ryuuen opened his eyes and grinned at them, and noticed with amusement that Houjun was holding his nose...
"Maybe I should...invite him over to my room some Saturday..." Ryuuen said. "I don't have a roommate after all..."
The other three's eyes widened at this statement.
"Invite...?" Kotono gulped.
"Kouji?" Michi asked. "To..."
Houjun just stared, face red. Ryuuen smiled.
"'Course I could extend the invitation to you as well..." he said to Houjun. The boy fainted. Ryuuen giggled as Michi and Kotono stared at him.
~ * ~
"She's coming today...!" Keiko fretted, cleaning up the room. Kouji and Genrou were sitting on her bed watching her race around. "She's coming TODAY! Do you HEAR me, dammit!? TODAY!!!"
"Is that good or bad?" Kouji asked.
"Idon'tknowIdon'tknowIdon'tknow!" Keiko wailed, throwing some clothes into a hamper. "I DON'T KNOW!"
Kouji's eyes widened as she yelled. He edged closer to Genrou.
"Be careful what you say..." he whispered. "I think she could be dangerous right now..."
Genrou nodded nervously. Just then Keiko collapsed to the floor. The two boys jumped up and raced over to her.
"Keiko! Daijoubu?" Kouji asked. Keiko looked up at them nervously.
"What if she's REALLY pretty, and hates me because I'm not!? Or what if she's rich and thinks she's too good to be around me!?" she wailed. "What if she hates me!? What if she's really mean!? What if..."
"Calm down!" Genrou yelled. "What the hell's wrong with ya!? You've never been worried about anyone liking ya before!"
"Genrou." Kouji said quietly. "Do you know of any GIRLS that Keiko is friends with?"
Genrou thought for a moment and looked shocked.
"N...no..." he said. Kouji nodded.
"Right. This might be the first time she'll ever have had to actually associate with another girl." He said. "I don't think she's ever even had an actual conversation with a girl, much less lived with one."
(author note: Okay, I'm not like that anymore, but I used to be. My only friends were boys, and I just never even talked to the girls. I was scared out of my wits when my 'parents' sent me to this 'all girls' thing. I didn't talk to anybody except the adults. However, after I left the school I was going to, I made friends with girls because all the guys at my new school are stupid, arrogant jerks...)
Just then there was a knock on the door. Keiko jumped to her feet and breathed in deeply. She answered the door casually, looking for all the world like a normal teenage girl on a good day. It was the Principal. Keiko straightened up and bowed. Kouji and Genrou jumped to their feet and bowed as well. The Principal walked into the room. A girl with long reddish purple hair in a high side ponytail followed him in silently. Keiko's breath caught in her throat. The girl wasn't just pretty, she was GORGEOUS.
"This is Haku Kaen." The Principal said, leaving. When he was gone, Kouji and Genrou relaxed and sat on Keiko's bed.
"Hi!" Keiko said cheerfully. "Nakamoto Keiko desu."
"Haku Kaen." Kaen said, bowing gracefully.
"Hi." Genrou said.
"Nice ta meetcha." Kouji said with a smile. "I'm Kouji, and this is Genrou."
Kaen smiled at them.
"Need any help unpacking?" Keiko offered. Kaen shook her head.
"No, I can do it myself." She said. "Is that my side?"
"Yup. The shelves and dresser over there, the bed too, are all yours." Keiko said. Kouji and Genrou just watched silently. For one reason or another, Genrou didn't like this 'Kaen'. He got a chill whenever he looked at her. So he glared. Kaen noticed immediately. She put her hands on her hips.
"Well!" she exclaimed. "By Seiryuu, aren't YOU rude!"
Genrou blinked. 'Seiryuu'? Kaen looked as confused as he did. Kaen thought. Where had she heard 'Seiryuu' before?
"...Yui-sama..." Nakago said. "Is an important player in this game."
"But Nakago-sama..." Soi said sadly. Nakago held up a hand to silence her.
"She is Seiryuu no miko, Soi, and you must protect her." he said.
"Yes, Nakago-sama..."
Her eyes widened. Nakago? Who the...
"Kaen?" Genrou called, waving his hand in front of her face. "Yo, Kaen! I said I was sorry!"
"Hmm?" Kaen looked at him. "Oh. It's...okay..."
~ * ~
The next morning, Genrou found that Kaen was in his and Keiko's homeroom. As soon as the teacher left, Keiko jumped up and went over to Kaen. Apparently something had happened between the time that Kouji and Genrou left Keiko's room to now that had made the two very good friends. Various dirty thoughts passed though the redhead's mind as to what might have happened. He shook his head. Keiko wasn't like that. Right?
Meanwhile in a different homeroom, Houjun was talking, or rather listening, to Ryuuen. He interrupted the other boy's rant to ask a question.
"Where's Kotono?" he asked. "The teacher didn't even read her name at roll call."
Ryuuen looked down.
"She...she wasn't in her room by lights out..." he said quietly. "She's been taken away for...punishment...so she's...excused from class."
Houjun gulped, remembering the boy who had gotten whipped on his first day.
"Is she gonna be alright?" he asked. Ryuuen shrugged.
"I hope so." he said. "I'm gonna ask Nakamoto Keiko to check on her later..."
"Why?" Houjun asked. Ryuuen sighed.
"Cause for one reason or another, she's very good at cleaning up wounds and knowing how severe they are." Ryuuen explained. Houjun thought for a moment.
"Is Keiko the girl who helped that boy in the cafeteria?" he asked. Ryuuen nodded. "Oh."
"I...I hope she's okay..." Ryuuen looked down. "I really hope she's okay."
