Well, hello! Welcome to my Little world of weirdness!
I state for the record that this is my first fanfic. . . for ccs, and that I don't own any of the characters that will grace this story! It's all CLAMP's, always have been, always will be!
I don't pretend to be capable of speaking Japanese or knowing where to put it.
"Speaking"
*Stress/emphasis*
//thinking//
And then Yue said, "Bring it on."
Part Five: Everyone but Yue and Me!
//Impressive.//
Kinomoto Touya was impressed.
*Very* impressed.
The Plush Toy. The Gaki. The Creep. The God-Almighty Annoying One. *And* the Sugar Junkie.
In one night, Yue had got through all of them without breaking into a sweat . . .
//If he sweated . . .//
Touya frowned and resolved to ask Yuki about that one when he woke up. Which, by the sounds the curled-up Snow Bunny was making, might be soon.
Touya looked around, they were all crowded into his tiny room, all those who could make themselves smaller did so, others who could achieve perfect balance on a small point due to years of childhood training also did so. Those who could levitate in the air and make it look as if they were sitting in an invisible, floating chair did so simple because they were showing off. //You're still a creep// Touya mentally labelled. And then there was a certain . . . female who refused to dispense with her wings, and therefore was forced to balance herself precariously on the windowsill.
All were quiet so not to wake the Kaijuu.
The only sounds were Yuki's soft snores and that blue, Hello Kitty version of Keroberos, plush toy's drunken hiccups.
"Mmm . . . To-ya?" Yuki's soft voice called, Touya broke out of his musing to answer his friend . . . only to find Yuki still fast asleep and curling tighter around a pillow.
"Well . . . Now we know who the gentle snow bunny likes to dream about . . ." The Creep smiled at him infuriatingly. Touya choose not to rise to the bait, a decision born out of his very mature years and which had nothing to do with the fact the room was too crowded to swing a good right hook at him. He settled instead for throwing the nearest plush toy at him . . . which, as luck would have, was Kero-chan.
"Hoooooooeee!" Kero cried as he sailed through the air to hit the Creep square on the nose. Which had the added bonus of breaking the Creep's concentration, causing him to fall from his invisible floating chair, and on to the floor with a rather undignified 'Thud!' and squished the drunken blue Spinner Sundae or whatever his name was. //Scoring ten for the nose, ten for knocking that smirk of the Creep's face, a rather disappointing nine point seven for the Creep's dive, but an added bonus for tossing the Sugar Junkie in . . .// Touya mentally calculated.
"Nice shot, To-ya!" Cried the Annoying One a little too loudly, as the force of the collective: "Shhh!" blew her out the window.
//. . .Special bonus points for Ruby Moon! Proceed to final level! Hey-Yo!// Touya contained his glee at the sight of the All Annoying One falling out of the window to a pure smug smirk. His gaze fell on the Gaki.
The air between them became charged with the old anger, as the Gaki glare back. The Gaki tighten his grasp on the handle of his ridiculously large sword . . . // Come to think of it . . .//
"Put that thing away!" Touya snapped.
The Gaki continued to glare at him and drew the blade slightly out of its sheath defiantly.
Touya tensed himself for a fight, and reached out for another plush toy to throw . . .
The toy emitted an indignant, "Yamete!"
Touya glowered at the fluffy object in his hand, Kero again.
"If there was enough room, baka!" muttered Kero.
"Nandatta?" Touya growled threateningly, as the door opened suddenly.
A combination of his childhood training and his current tense disposition forced Li to pull his sword out completely and swing it around the room. With this single action, he had managed to narrowly miss Touya's hair, knock the Creep off his perch again, would have sliced through Kero's tail had the Seal Beast not hiked it up in time, slice through the very surprised ghost of his mother and, as she was just climbing back through the window, Li Syaoran managed to slice off the bottom half of Ruby Moon's front plait.
Silence descended on the room as pink eyes widened with shock, then filled up with unshed tears. "You . . . cut . . . my . . . plait . . . off . . ." Ruby whispered as she cradled the pathetic lock of hair.
Everybody backed away from Ruby as if she were a primed bomb, then moved away from Li, who quickly handed the offending sword to Spinel Sun in an effort to preserve either his innocence or his life.
"Ano. . ." he began, "Gomen nasai?"
What everybody expected was some serious blood shed . . . well, everyone, except Eriol, who clamped his hands over his ears in preparation. //Preparation for what?// Touya thought and was about to speak his thoughts aloud when the reason became painfully obvious.
"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" Wailed Ruby, she threw her head back and sobbed.
Tomoyo . . . whose entrance had caused all of this . . . winced and turned to Eriol, who was nonchalantly smiling, having put his hearing under a spell.
"Eriol?" Tomoyo said, the reincarnation was still smiling at Ruby, "Eriol!" She tried again.
Li noticed Tomyo's attempts to get Eriol's attention and knocked his elbow against the back of Eriol's head, careful not to dislodge his own hands.
Eriol turned to him. "NANI?" He yelled, evidently unaware he was shouting . . .
Li gesture with his head toward Tomoyo, and Eriol turned towards his vision of beauty. His vision of beauty was mouthing words at him that he couldn't hear.
"NANI?"
The gesturing became more pronounced, he frowned.
"NANI?!"
Li almost lost his balance in annoyance, and Touya rolled his eyes, sourly.
"NO! IT'S NO GOOD! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Eriol hoped he was talking loudly enough, the spell he'd put on meant he couldn't hear anything.
Now they were all pressing their fingers against their lips.
"LOOK, I'M GOING TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE!"
With a quick wave of his hands, Ruby Moon's wail stopped.
"THERE! IS THA—ahem, is that better?" Eriol realised why everyone was now looking at him with such annoyed expressions, he choose to respond with his favourite expression. An infuriating grin.
"Why didn't you do that the first time around?!" Demanded Touya.
"Shhh! All of you!" Tomoyo scolded, "You'll wake Sakura-Chan!
Rarely was Daidouji Tomoyo upset by anything but the idea of rousing the kawaii Sakura-chan and letting their plan go to waste was *not* welcomed.
There was a soft knock at the door and everyone dived for cover, Eriol picked Li up and held the both of them close to the ceiling, Tomoyo hid behind the door, Touya grabbed both plush toy sun guardians by the fluffy little tails and threw them and the weeping Ruby Moon out the window, then turned to jump into bed but found Yukito in the way. Looking about the room wildly, he couldn't find anyway he could easily stash the snow bunny, giving up, he grabbed the nearest blanket and threw it over Yukito's sleeping form. He prayed that Yuki wouldn't wake and jumped on top of the poor Bunny. Hoping he had covered him sufficiently, Kinotomo Touya called out as normally as he could, "Hai?"
The door creaked slowly open; a set of sparkling eyes peered in nervously . . .
