Chapter 2: An Splash for a Splash
Koshino opened his eyes to find himself in a large bed in a large room. The walls were in rich red and gold. The floor was carpeted and he felt like a member of the royal family. The mattress was unbelievably soft and was in gold and red as well. He was all alone. But where was he?
He held his head and tired to recall exactly what happened. Everything came rushing back to him like a river's current that he felt a headache coming. "I have to get out of here!" he said to himself as he stepped out of the bed. To his dismay, his clothes were replaced by a white robe, nothing more except for his underwear. He crept to the door and peered through the keyhole. If he guessed right, there would be guards all over the place. Surprisingly, the whole corridor was deserted. He brushed away the idea of video cameras. They can't have technology like electricity.
Koshino took a deep breath before he tried to turn the knob. The door opened and he looked around. The coast was clear. Now, to figure out which way to go. He should have examined the whole castle while he was still in standard size. Speaking of size, how in the world was he going to get back to his normal size? The size of a sixteen year old boy?
"I'll worry about that later. First, I have to find the exit!" Koshino told himself as he ran around the castle. There was a wooden door at the end of the hall with the sign exit on it. "Bingo!" he cried out as he ran towards the door. He opened it and received a bucket full of water.
"Ack!" he screamed as cold water drenched his body. He shivered. "Nyahahahahahaha! They fall for that everytime!" Koshino threw the bucket off his head and noticed that he was surrounded by a small group of people. The same people talking to each other a while ago. It was the red head who was laughing loudly. Koshino glared at him and tried to dry his wet robe.
"Sakuragi Hanamichi!" a commanding voice said. It was a woman's. Koshino looked behind him and saw a an attractive lady with curly hair. She was wearing a forest green long-sleeved gown. In her hand was a paper fan. She walked towards the red head and whacked him with her accessory. "Oww!" Hanamichi cried out, touching his head.
"Gomen." The lady apologized as she handed a robe to Koshino. She held out her hand and introduced herself. "I'm Lady Ayako. Nice to meet you." With nothing better to do, Koshino shook her hand and introduced himself as well. "Koshino Hiroaki."
"Ohohoho!" someone chuckled. Everyone turned to the voice and bowed their heads. "Anzai-sensei!" they greeted with politeness. Koshino remembered him as the one who gave him the shrinking drink. "What is the meaning of this?" he asked. He didn't mean to sound so rude but he couldn't help but panic. He was in miniature state and he had no idea what magic spell has been casted on him.
"There is no need to worry. I will explain everything." Anzai-sensei assured him. He adjusted his glasses and a spectacled boy arrived with another robe. "Please use this one. Sorry for the water. We couldn't stop Hanamichi on time." he apologized. Koshino stared at the robe and felt all eyes on him. Was he supposed to put the robe over him? After all, he was only clad in his underwear underneath.
"We'll take care of your wet robe. You don't need to worry about it." the spectacled boy said. Koshino wriggled out of his robe to reveal his almost naked state. Ayako covered her eyes with her fan but she could still peek through. The spectacled boy gasped while Anzai-sensei merely chuckled again.
With such haste, Koshino put on the dry robe with a fresh tint of red in his face. "You didn't tell me you were naked." the spectacled boy said. "But it was quite a show, Kogure-sempai." Ayako remarked as a glint danced around her eyes. "I bet Sendoh's the one behind this." Kogure muttered under his breath. Koshino was about to ask who this Sendoh guy was when he heard Anzai-sensei chuckle again. What is it with that chuckle?
Everything was explained to Koshino by the man they called Anzai- sensei. Normally, the potion was to make the person forget everything about the castle. Forget that he saw anything at all. But for some reason, the potion didn't work and instead, shrunk him to their size. That question was only answered by a hearty chuckle.
"So, tell me about this place." Koshino said as he walked around the hallways with his guide. Kogure nodded and smiled. "This place is called Kanagawa castle because it stands in the Kanagawa kingdom. But they say that this is only a copy of the real castles in the land. Legend says that a long time ago, there used to be four surrounding castles. The Shohoku castle, the Ryonan castle, the Kainan castle and the Shoyo castle. I don't know if they really existed because there are no other castles standing in the kingdom. "
Kogure stopped telling the story when they reached his room. "This will be your room from now on. We have already asked our alchemists to produce a chemical that will return you to your own size. Please excuse me, I have something very important to attend to." He left before Koshino could ask anything else.
"Nyahahahahahaha!" Koshino turned around when he recognized the familiar laughter. It was the red head that Lady Ayako called as Sakuragi Hanamichi. "Oh, it's you." Koshino said flatly. The red head nodded and appraoched him. "Sorry for what happened earlier but I couldn't resist playing that trick on you." Koshino nodded and turned to knob of his room. The red head followed him inside. "If you need anything, just knock on the tensai's door." he said before leaving.
The door closed behind him and Koshino looked around his room. It was just as huge was the room he was in a while ago. He suddenly got an idea and hurried to catch up with Hanamichi. "Hey Sakuragi!" he called out. The prankster turned around. "Can you help me with something?"
Sendoh walked idly along the stone floors of the castle. He was on his way to his bed chamber. It had been a long day and he was tired from all the fishing he did in the woods' lake. In his hand was a basket of large fish. They were quite delicious and he planned on sending them over to the chef. He felt good today. He knew that Sakuragi would not refrain from playing a water bucket trick on their newest companion. From what he heard, his trick had been completely successful.
It was almost sundown and Sendoh decided to change his clothes before heading to the kitchen. He turned the knob of his door around and got a surprise. Splash! A bucket of cold water came down on him. Sendoh shivered. It was icy cold. He took off the bucket as he heard a familiar laugh.
"Nyahahahahaha!" Sakuragi laughed. He never thought of playing a joke on Sendoh as it was the senior who taught him how to do the trick. Beside him, a lad was also laughing. The latter was clutching stomach and tears were coming out of his eyes. The look on his face must have been priceless.
"Explain." he said. Koshino smirked. "You must be the famous Sendoh Akira. " he remarked. Sendoh smiled at him. "And you must be the newcomer, Koshino Hiroaki. You must have figured me out." They shook hands and Sakuragi said good-bye. The red head had better things to do, like doing the same trick on a certain raven-haired lad.
"Was the water cold?" Koshino asked. Sendoh nodded and took off his clothes. They were both inside the room, with the door closed behind them. Koshino felt like turning around but he didn't. After all, they were both men. What was he ashamed of? Sendoh had a beautiful body. It wasn't over- muscled but it was smooth. Koshino looked away.
"Why don't you join me in the kitchen? I'm bringing some fish to the chef. You could meet him. He is an unbelievably amazing cook." Sendoh remarked. Koshino nodded. He looked at his companion. He was already dressed so it was safe to look now.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Already, Koshino was introduced to a lot of men and women. "Unbelievable!" a cry came from the other end of the food haven. Sendoh smirked. "That was Hikoichi." Sendoh said, poiting to a young lad who had a ladle in one hand and a notepad in the other. "He's trying to become as good as chef Uozumi." he explained.
The chef Uozumi was a large fellow. He was wearing an apron and the usual hat. His hand was stirring an aromatic blend of soup. The Hikoichi guy dipped a new ladle into it and tasted the spicy appetizer. "Unbelievable!" he cried out again. Koshino grinned. "I told you Uozumi is an unbelievable chef." Sendoh said.
Uozumi was a rather nice guy despite his size. He loved to talk about cooking and carried a conversation that went on for twenty-minutes. By the time he was done, Koshino's mouth was watering from all the dinner delicacies he prepared for them. Sendoh handed the large man the basket of fish he caught that afternoon. "Here you go Uozumi. Something for tomorrow and later." he said. The chef nodded and took the fish. He turned his back on them and started chopping up the fish into itty-bitty pieces.
"You're late." Sakuragi mentioned as the two sat down at the large banquet table. He was shivering and he was wearing a robe, topped with a thick blanket. It didn't take long for the two to realize that his plan had somehow backfired. He was wet from cold water and his supposed victim was dry and casually drinking his soup.
"I bet Sendoh introduced you to the kitchen staff." Lady Ayako said as she sipped her wine. "Uozumi talks a lot. He can't stop talking about his favorite subject." Koshino nodded and looked around. He was used to such good food but never did he ate with such company. Heck, he hasn't eaten with any company at all in his sixteen years.
"Hey, where is Kogure and Anzai-sensei?" Koshino asked. The whole table went silent.
Why do you think they became silent? Where is Kogure and Anzai-sensei anyway? What about the other people that haven't been mentioned yet? When will more yaoi appear? Watch out for chapter three. Arigato for those who reviewed!! Cheers!
