The Bishonen of February
Chapter 5
Kina pushed her reading glasses up further on her nose as she closed her book.
"I think it's time to get started" She mused to herself different things Yue and her could do. "Here, put these on." She threw a pair of jeans and black pants with a small black sweater into Yue's lap. Yue looked over at a trash can and saw five empty, skin color make-up containers and raised his eyebrow, he wasn't going to ask because he didn't even want to know.
"Is this necessary? I like my clothes. These look so uncomfortable (and very small)."
"It is necessary! You need to blend it with everyone! And here is a trench coat, it'll cover your wings nicely!" She set down a long, black trench coat by his new clothes.
"Fine" Yue grumbled, walking out of the room so he could change.
"Yes!" Kina gave Nuriko and Hotohori a high five.
"He's going along with it. If you ask me, he's probably thinking he'll just stay for some free food because he's got nothing better to do!"
The door squeaked as it opened and Yue walked out. He had chosen to put on the black pants and a white sweater, the trench coat sat on the bed.
"So what do we do now?" A small sigh escaped his lips. "Make me play dress up or dolls?" He thought to himself.
"Today we're going to go to the beach!" Kina held up a bag that contained a beach ball, towels, drinks, sunscreen and a beach umbrella.
"But I just got dressed!"
"Oh well, here's your bathing suit!" Kina threw him a pair of board shorts that where black with white Hawaii style flowers all over them. After some grumbling and moaning, Yue came out in them, looking very good may I say.
"Oh! You look so kawaii in them!" Kina stood up, now in a bikini style two-piece. It was a mixture of pinks and oranges with gold zigzags all over it with little ties hanging down on her sides and back. Nuriko walked out in blue board shorts that had dark blue dragons all over them (of course it made him look very good along with his six-pack). Next, Hotohori walked out in dark red board shorts that had white Hawaii style flowers also. (Which he also looked very good in!)
"Ready everyone!" Kina smiled and patted Tama and Neko's heads. "You two watch over the house and be good!" She led the way, out the door as the four climbed into a taxi, the quickest way to the beach. The taxi pulled up along the beach pathway, everyone getting out while Kina paid.
"Be back here around six in the afternoon." The taxi driver nodded.
"Great, we're in a giant sand box with a little water." Yue rolled his eyes and sighed. Kina jumped up and spread a blanket on the hot sand, put down a few beach chairs and an umbrella. Nuriko walked over with a few sodas (soda, NOT beer ^_^)
"So what do we do now?" Yue looked around.
"Have fun!"
Yue blinked, he hadn't had "fun" since he was little, before his parents death. "How?" he kept questioning Kina while his insides said to him, "Who cares? Why are you even bothering to go along with this girl? You are a bishonen and you don't have fun." But no matter how much his brain told him to leave, his body and heart wouldn't allow him to go. A splash of cold salt water brought him out of his trance.
What the?" He screeched as the water dripped down his face slowly.
"Come on in slowpoke!" Kina laughed, Nuriko and Hotohori where already deep out in the water splashing each other over the waves. Yue could feel his face burning red with anger as he crossed his legs and sat down in the sand.
"I don't like the water."
Kina frowned, "Oh come on! It's not like you can't swim!" She dumped a pile of sand on his head, which only made his anger grow. "Wait, you can't swim can you?!"
"I only fly." Yue's wings rose a bit then relaxed, sand already in the feathers.
"Well, I'll teach you. It's not that hard." Kina grabbed his hand and pulled him into the shallow water until it was a little past her shoulders but it was only up to about half a foot above his waist. (A bit above his belly button.)
"I hate being short." She grumbled.
"What was that, shorty?" Yue chuckled at his own joke.
"Nothing. Ready to get started?"
"Uh. Ok."
"Now don't be afraid of the water, in fact, your wings should help you float. Now I'll hold you up a bit by your stomach and you kick your legs and motion your hands in circles, like you're paddling. Good, that's good."
Yue was swimming in a circle (of course Kina and his wings wouldn't let him sink.) Slowly, Kina removed her hands and Yue kept swimming.
"You're doing it! Good job!" Kina clapped as a huge wave gathered in the distance, slowly coming closer to them.
"Oh yeah! Who's the man?" Yue grinned, he actually grinned, then his eyes widened in horror as the wave crashed down on him and Kina. It sent both of them tumbling under the water in a mess of sand, while they struggled to rise above the water to get a breath of air. Both their bodies rammed into Nuriko and Hotohori's legs, causing the two to join Kina and Yue under the water. They all sat up, breathing in air, fresh, sweet air. Yue glanced at Kina, "Remind me to never listen to you!"
Then she burst out laughing, "That was so fun!" her smile widened as she splashed Yue. His eyes narrowed.
"That sucked!" He held his tongue, thinking of some "colorful" words that he could yell at Kina. Afterwards, the four ate some sandwiches and Yue swam out to where the waves where smaller and he floated on his back. Of course his wings where the key factor in his floating, it was as if he was on a tiny boat or a float. It was relaxing. On the shore Kina was covering Hotohori in sand while Nuriko proceeded to make a sandcastle.
"Look, a sand angel!" Kina laid down, moving her arms and legs in a swinging motion and when she stood up there was an angel-like figure in the sand. Nuriko smiled as Hotohori grabbed his hand as the two walked along the beach.
"We're going for a walk, we'll be back soon! Be good!" Nuriko grinned then winked at Kina as the two walked near the water then walked down towards a small pier. A shadow blocked the sun on Yue's face for a brief second before he was shoved under the water. Coughing and sputtering, Yue rose to the surface to see Kina laughing her head off.
"Why you little...!" Yue flashed with anger then started splashing Kina with fury.
"Hey!" Kina laughed then splashed Yue until the two where having an all-out water war.
~~
"Well, they're getting along well." Nuriko smiled and looked up at Hotohori, who smiled back.
"Yes, they are." Hotohori's arm found it's way around Nuriko's shoulders.
~~
"That was fun!" Kina handed Yue a red Popsicle.
"Yeah." He nodded in agreement while graciously accepting the cold delicacy. But then the voice came back to him. "What are you doing you fool? Making friends what that, that human! Are you having FUN? Remember who you are!" His inner voice hissed with hatred. Yue's eyes grew cold as he conscious' words burned inside him. He swallowed his Popsicle as Nuriko and Hotohori walked and sat down a bucket of seashells.
"Let's go." Yue stood up, his face emotionless again.
"Ok." Kina pointed to the taxi that had just returned, "Good timing!"
The ride back was silent except for a few giggles coming from Kina, Nuriko and Hotohori. The door creaked as they walked in and Tama and Neko ran up to greet their friends.
"Hey you two! I call first shower!" Kina skipped into the bathroom.
"I call the other shower!" Hotohori walked into the second bathroom.
"I guess we'll have to wait." Nuriko frowned at Yue then patted his back.
"Are you ok?" Nuriko looked at Yue.
"Yeah, whatever. Why do you and Hotohori stay with her?"
"Like I said before, we love this life."
"But she's human!"
"So? You got a problem with them?"
Yue's gaze wandered to the floor, "Maybe. But I have my reasons."
"You think you're the only one with secrets? We all have our secrets. Like someone once told me, You keep them from your friends, your family and sometimes even yourself."
Hotohori walked out and handed Yue a towel. "Your turn."
Yue looked in the mirrors and his mind began to wander. "Today was fun but I can't have fun. Why? I don't know. I just don't know. How can I have fun with a human while my family was killed by humans?"
~~
"I think today went well." Kina mused at herself in the mirror. "Maybe he won't be too hard to crack. Surprisingly, he's my hardest case so far. He seems so great most of the time but sometimes he'll get cold and so distant it's like we're on different planets." Kina reached down and grabbed some skin colored cream and powder that she used to cover a strange blue triangle on her forehead.
"Your turn Nuriko." Kina handed him a towel as she walked out of the bathroom, "I'm starting dinner."
