(And the hits just keep on comin'…)
About an hour later…
"Are we there yet?" Suboshi moaned.
"No…" Amiboshi responded. After a little time had passed…
"Are we there YET?"
"No! We'll be there when we get there, no sooner!" Amiboshi said angrily.
"Quiet, both of you. You're giving me a headache." Nakago muttered and all was silent. "Lady Yui, are you all right?"
Yui nodded. "I'm fine, but a little tired and thirsty."
"Very well." Nakago agreed. "Hn…Since you're so bored Suboshi, go ride ahead and look for some water."
"Hai Nakago-sama." Suboshi said, eager to help Yui-sama.
Miboshi floated along and rolled his eyes at the love struck teenager.
"OI! NAKAGO-SAMAAAA!!! I'VE FOUND A SPRING!!!" Suboshi wailed. Yui smiled sweetly. 'Suboshi's so nice and upbeat, he always puts me in a better mood.' She thought and sighed. Nakago winced. 'That Suboshi', he thought, 'He always gives me such a migraine.'
"Very well, we'll stop there."
Tomo smiled. Nakago looked SO fine, and he had the perfect view of his perfectly shaped ass, riding behind him and all. 'If only' he thought lustfully and dreamed of his own little world with Nakago. He closed his eyes. "Mmmm… yes Nakago-sama, right there." He moaned softly.
"What?"
"Uh… er…. Yes Nakago-sama, that spring looks like a perfect place to rest!" he recovered. Nakago shook his head. Tomo didn't honestly think he'd fooled him, did he?
(I LOVE YOU NAKAGO! *Fangirl sigh*)
"Hn… well go to it then, we've still got a ways to go."
Yui stepped out of the carriage and everyone else dismounted.
"This is such a lovely place Nakago-sama…" Soi purred. "SO romantic…" Nakago shrugged.
"This is not the time Soi. Maybe later."
Soi pouted, then plotted, and finally came up with a solution. 'Maybe, I could coax Nakago into taking a refreshing dip in the water with me… if I was naked already… he might be prone to…' she thought excitedly and hurried off to undress.
Ashitare padded along and looked at Miboshi with big eyes. "Please?"
"No."
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE P-LEASE!!!"
Miboshi sighed. How come the dumb mutt always came to him? Just because he LOOKED like a child, didn't mean he had the brain of one. "Okay…" he sighed. "…But this is the last time!"
"YAY!!!" Ashitare squealed and dropped the slobbery ball in Miboshi's hand. "THROW THE BALL!!! THROW THE BALL!!!"
Miboshi narrowed his eyes and threw the ball hard.
"YOU THREW THE BALL!!!" Ashitare screamed and jumped into the spring.
"No shit." Miboshi replied, and floated away.
Yui watched everything from under a large willow tree and sighed. She missed her friend, and wondered what she was doing. Mainly with the bishonen babe, Tamahome.
Suboshi frowned. 'Gotta make her smile. Gotta make her smile.' He thought. Then, he saw the perfect thing. Near a spring there were some beautiful lilies. 'Women love flowers.' He edged closer.
*Splash*
Amiboshi sighed and went to fish his brother out, but slipped on a pile of algae.
*Splash*
Nakago sighed. 'Stupid henchmen.' He thought coldly. 'This is no time to go swimming. I see Susaku no miko's seishi's tracks here. If I want the plan to continue, we must stay right on their tails.' He frowned, then wondered. 'Maybe we've gotten too close.' He took off his armor and climbed to the top of a hill to get a better lay of the land.
Tomo watched his every move, of course. 'Gods, he's so handsome, and without that armor… Nothing's left to the imagination…' By the time Tomo'd realized it, he was TINGLING with pleasure. 'Oh shit.' He thought, straining against his pants. 'Can't move… but must…' But now Tomo was in a panic. He quickly dove into a spring.
"YOO HOO!!! NAKAGO-SAMA!!!!" Soi wailed and waved at the blond bishonen.
"Hn?" Nakago mumbled, he turned and lost his footing on the rock, falling into the spring in front of him.
"Oops." Soi muttered and slipped under the water. Miboshi snickered. 'This is going to be interesting.'
"Throw the ball agaiiiin!" Ashitare whimpered.
"For the last time, N-" Miboshi yelled and looked at the young man with a ball in his mouth.
Ashitare blinked. "Nani, Miboshi-san?… Did you change your mind already?" he asked.
Miboshi stared in shock. Instead of the drooling, disgusting canine monster, there was a beautiful, light-haired, green-eyed bishonen in front of him. "…………"
"Oh no, he fall in spring of drowned bishonen!" the man said, and Miboshi stared at him.
"Who the hell are you and why are you talking like that?"
"Is very tragic legend of handsome guy who fall in spring not last Tuesday, but Tuesday before that. Actually, he better off that way."
Soi whimpered and crawled out of the spring. "Poor Nakago-sama, I hope he's not too angry at me."
The man's jaw dropped. "Oh no, you fall in spring of drowned whore! Is tragic tale of whore who killed self in spring last night! Now everyone who fall in take body of whorish woman!"
Everyone sweatdropped, and the man got a second black eye.
Next to hop out of the spring was a little bunny. It wiggled it's little paws and twitched it's little ears and nose. It was SO cute.
"Oh no, he fall in spring of drowned bunny! Tragic story of little girl who lost bunny early in week and found it drowned in that spring! Now all who fall in spring take form of bunny!
Suboshi shrugged and shook until he was thoroughly dry, then took the opportunity to hop into Yui's arms.
"Awwww, how adorable!" She said happily and hugged the bunny to her chest. Suboshi suffered a massive nosebleed immediately. "Poor baby… well, you're mine now." She said and giggled. "And from now on your name is B-chan!"
Suboshi smiled slyly and snuggled into her arms where he promptly fell asleep.
After a few moments of silence, everyone thought the rest of the seishi had drowned and were starting to pack up, but then…
"Blah… all this algae… sick… however… strangely attractive." Amiboshi muttered and felt his pants shrink. 'What the hell's wrong with me!?' he thought and curled up.
"Oh, very bad sir. You fall in spring of drowned lecher! He put to death in spring last month because late one night he snuck out and screwed anything he could get dirty hands on. Now anyone who fall in spring become super horny!"
Amiboshi stared in horror at the man, who he also found disturbingly attractive, as the rest of the seishi snickered.
Tomo moaned and shook his head. He felt strange and somewhat off balance. "Hn.."
"OH NO! POOR YOU SIR! You fall in spring of drowned man-who-couldn't-get it up! Is TRAGIC legend of man who discover no matter how hard he try or how much porn he look at, he can never get… inspired."
Tomo thought for a second and then left. 'Now I must find a rope, and hang myself.'
Amiboshi whimpered loudly and shut his eyes while trying to keep the bishonen Ashitare from sniffing his crotch. "It could be worse Tomo-san…"
Tomo looked at him in anger because the boy was obviously more 'talented' than himself. "I see." He growled and walked off.
Last to come out of the pools was Nakago. He blinked angrily and shook the water off himself. Looking around, he saw few of his seishi left in their original forms. 'It seems we have a minor setback.' He thought and walked over to the group that seemed to be forming.
"Where's Nakago-sama?" Soi said and bit her nails worriedly. "I hope he's okay." She sat down. 'No matter what happened, I'll always love him.' She determined.
'Soi…' Nakago thought and crawled onto her lap. 'My faithful S-'
"AIEEEEEEE!!! EW EW EW EW EW!!! A LIZARD!!! A NASTY LIZARD JUST *TOUCHED* ME!!!" Soi screamed and threw Nakago off her and into the side of the cliff. Miboshi, who had been documenting the changes in everyone, smiled.
Nakago got up and frowned, pulling out a sign. First of all, I'm a dragon, not a lizard. He flipped the sign over. Second of all, Soi, I'm NAKAGO!
Soi shrinked. "Oops."
Nakago's eyes narrowed. Oops, indeed.
Soi frowned. "I'm so sorry Nakago-sama…" she whimpered and picked up the 16-foot dragon. "Can you still… you know…" she asked, blushing. Nakago raised an elegant eyebrow and a sign.
Sometimes, Soi…
Soi pouted. "I'm sorry… I can't help it…"
"Yeah…" Miboshi snickered. "After all she fell in the spring of drowned wh-"
"YOU SAY IT AND I'LL THROW YOU IN A SPRING TOO, YOU WEIRD FLYING FREAKSHOW!" She screamed, dropping Nakago and grabbing Miboshi.
"Okay! Okay! I SWEAR I won't say anything…" he said as she let him go. "Whore."
"THAT'S IT!"
Soi and Miboshi disappeared into the bushes. There was a rumble of thunder and a crash of lightening.
One came out, the other did not.
………… Nakago's sign read as Soi picked him up and snuggled him happily. He flipped it. We'll worry about cures when we summon Seiryuu.
Ashitare looked up at Nakago from where he was sitting on the ground and tilted his head. "Nakago-sama, how can you write on those signs like that?"
Nakago thought for a minute and took out another sign. I'm not too sure. it said, as he flipped it. I don't suppose it matters much though, as long as I can do it, ne mutt? he smirked and lashed his tail out, whipping the confused bishonen. Ashitare yelped and cowered at his feet.
"Of course not Nakago-sama!"
Nakago smirked.
"Oh no, you fall in spring of drowned dragon." The man said, his knees shaking as Nakago turned his gaze to him.
No shit. his sign read as he bared his fangs. Now suppose you tell me about how to change back before I eat you? Soi smiled. 'That's my Nakago-sama…' she thought happily and stroked his scales.
"Uh… if douse with cold water, curse activate. If douse with hot, you retain original form." He said, quivering.
Very good. Nakago's sign read. Now go quickly and quietly.
Needless to say, the man ran away FAST. However he bumped into a rather pissed off Tomo.
He was never heard from again.
