An Unlikely Pair Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Well.....It's chapter two. Don't expect me to tell you anything! Some evil guy: I don't expect you to, Mr. Veggie, I expect you to die! MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
Kyo sighed and slumped onto the couch, giving his options a final review. "Hmmm..stay with Yagami-kun and risk being killed at any time 24 hours a day..or stay here..safe..only waiting for the inevitable moment of Shingo showing up at the door with a huge smile shouting, *HI KYO-SEMPAI!*?.....PLEASE BE HOME IORI!" Kyo dived for the phone and instantaneously dialed Iori's number, which oddly enough was on speed-dial.
Iori lay on his bed, playing his guitar, when the phone rang. He wasn't paticularly happy about this, as it interrupted a nice little riff he was in the middle of. "Shimatta! That better be someone important!" He sighed and picked up the phone, lightening his mood before he spoke. "Hello, Yagami residence." He immediately winced at the voice on the other end of the line. "Wow, Yagami-kun! You actually sound like a nice person over the phone!" Iori barked an annoyed response. "Nani kuso!?!(T: What the hell? Or, What the fuck? in some cases) Don't address me by Yagami-kun ever again! Why the hell are you calling me!?"
Kyo sweatdropped (well..so much for the nice part...I wonder if he would have acted more pleasant towards someone else) "Well...Yagami-ku...I mean Yagami!..Uhhm..Benimaru left to go visit his parents for the week and hehhh..-" Iori was not pleased in being interrupted just to listen to Kyo stutter. "Spit it out! What does any of this have to do with me!?" "EE! Well...Iori I have a favor to ask of you. I was wondering if I could kinda...well..if you would be kind enough to let me.." He shouted the rest out at the speed of light, nearly passing out in the process. "STAYWITHYOUUNTILHERETURNS!"
Iori narrowed his eyes at Kyo, who obviously couldn't see it. (Why the hell should I care?) "Why!? Are you afraid of the dark? I haven't the time for this stupidity! Goodbye!" Iori turned to set the phone down, already trying to remember where he had left off in the song, when he heard a cry from Kyo, almost a desperate yelp. "WAIT! Iori-sama! If I don't find a place to stay I'll be unbelievably bored, PLUS, Shingo will want to stay with me! You know how annoying he is!" Iori sighed and brought the phone back up. "Why did you have to choose me?" Kyo already had the answer on his tongue "He's afraid of you! He'll stay away! Yagami..onegai! (T: please) Iori smacked his head against the wall slightly and finally gave in. "Very well..but only because I want you to cease whimpering!"
Kyo nearly fell over with glee. "Really!?! Arigatou Yagami! (T: Thank you) I could just kiss you!" Iori flinched as he felt that shock in his chest again. (Wha..) "Wha...whatever! J-just shut up and get over here..n.!" Iori had nearly said now. Kyo's smile nearly ripped his face in two. "Hai! (T:Right!) I'll be over in a few minutes!" Kyo hung up, and Iori let out another frustrated sigh, hung up the phone, and shoved pillow over his face. (What is wrong with me? It's only Kusanagi right? *Exactly, he's what's wrong with you, stupid! Why can't you admit-* Shut up!..I refuse to believe something as ludicrous as that. I don't feel that way anymore.. AGH!) He smacked the pillow off of himself and went back to his guitar, nearly finishing the part when he heard a knock at the door, which itself sounded happy. "Shimatta! *sigh* Well..here goes the beginning of an interestingly painful week.." When he found himself running for the door, he stopped, then resumed at a walking pace.
He reluctantly opened the door, immediately greeted by an overly-happy Kyo. "Yagami-sama!" Kyo jumped on him in a hug and kissed his cheek, smiling ear to ear. "Domo arigatou!" (T: Thank you very much, or much thanks. If you didn't know that...then maybe you should listen to Styx!)
Iori didn't protest for a moment, he didn't seem to be able to, then shoved Kyo off of him. "Kyo! Cut that out!" He spun around as he felt the redness return again.(Why..why am I doing this!?) Kyo raised an eyebrow as if he had done nothing. "Hehehe..is something wrong Iori?"
Iori straightened up quickly, trying to hide his baffled state. "N-no nothing..It's nothing! I just thought I saw something move out of the corner of my eye, that's all!"
Kyo scratched his head in confusion. (Why would he do that? Nothing scares him..) "Okay! Thanks again Yagami-kun! Oh.." Iori, who was too confused with himself to remember to whom he was talking, responded in a decent manner. "Yea..you're welcome." Kyo titled his head, still wondering what was up. "Uhm..where can I put my stuff? Are you sure you are feeling alright Yagami?" (Hell no I'm not!) "Yes..I'm fine..now back off!!..Oh..and you can put your things in the guest room over there. *Iori pointed to a room to the right of his* Okay?" Kyo nodded profusely and Iori dropped his arm back to his side. Kyo then grinned cutely and added one more thing. "Anything to please you, Yagami-sama! Heheh." Iori growled softly as Kyo plodded happily towards the guest room. (Ugh..stop it Kyo..stop messing with my head!)
A few minutes later, Iori regained his composure. "Kyo, get out here!" Kyo slowly poked his head out of the room, the rest of him soon following. "Hai?" (T: In this situation, its used as: "yes?") Iori brushed his hair out of his eyes. "There are some rules we are going to go over."
Kyo nodded, disagreeing with the idea at the same time. (Great. Just what I need, rules. He'll probably be like: "I want this place to be tidy at all times!" Sheesh..I can barely keep my own apartment clean as it is.) "First of all, I want this place to be kept clean, no matter what."
Kyo sweatdropped and nearly fell over, Iori just shot him an annoyed gaze. "Is there a problem?"
Smiling and shaking his head, Kyo gave a frightened response. "N-no not at all!" He laughed nervously and waved his arms in front of him. "No problem here! Please continue!"
Iori couldn't help but grin slightly as he began speaking again. "That's what I thought! Secondly, do not be bringing any of your annoying buddies in here to make my life more intolerable than it already is! If you are going to, at least ask me so I can smack you for asking a stupid question, or say yes and take a sedative...especially if it's Benimaru."
Kyo spoke up with a cute smile. "Uhm..Iori? Benimaru can't annoy you, he's visiting his parents remember? That's why I'm he-" Iori glowered a death glower and continued. "Rule number three. Don't be a smartass!" Kyo gulped and nodded "H-h-hai!" Iori smirked and chuckled slightly, calmly wrapping up. "Oh yes, one more thing. If you wish to remain alive by the end of the week, stay..out..of..my..room." Kyo perked up and smiled again. "Well of course! What would I want in there anyway?" Iori grinned inside, sucesfully avoiding Kyo's attempt to get him thinking again.
"...That's about it." Kyo let out such heavy sigh in relief, he could have taken flight. "Good, I was worried there wouldn't be enough! Hehhehheh...uhm..so what do you want to do hmm?"
(Who the hell does he think he is? How crazy..this morning I tried to kill him and now he thinks he going to follow me along...Hahaha at least he tries.) "Why should it matter to you anyway?" Kyo frowned and put his hands behind his back, rising up and down on his toes. "Well...I was hoping we could maybe spend some time not trying to kill each other, and do something else!" Iori couldn't help but fall onto the couch and laugh, gradually come to a stop,
then stare at the ceiling with an occasional snicker. Kyo on the other hand, wasn't as jovial.
"What!??! What's so funny? I mean it!" Iori ran his fingers through his har and made one more small laugh. "You're serious huh? Heheheh.." Kyo nodded profusely, forming a hopeful smile.
"Yes, I am very serious! Why does it sound so odd to you?" Iori sat up and grinned. This was very amusing indeed. "Heh, it's just the way you think. You're too forgiving..." Kyo smirked "I have no fear of you killing me, otherwise what would you do for the rest of your life hm?"
Iori narrowed his eyes. (well damn...) "Comon let's go.." Kyo nearly did a flip, and Iori thought about knocking him out and leaving without him. (Ugh why am I doing this..it's just Kyo..yea just innocent little Kyo...heh heh heh I should get him drunk! That should be quite amusing) Iori laughed evilly in his mind and grinned just as malevolently. "Iori...are you alright?..Hehhh why are you smiling like that?.meep.." Iori laughed "Let's go have a drink."
Kyo slumped and protested without much avail. "I don't like drinking!" Iori shrugged and started for the door, not really caring one way or the other, knowing that he would win out in the end anyway. "Well then you can be left here. Stay out of my room!" He opened the door and left a quivering Kyo behind. He yawned and stuffed his hands in his pockets, walking with his gaze fixed on the ground. "There goes my fun for the evening.." Kyo nearly ripped the door off its hinges, and almost turned it to splinters when he shut it. He rocketed down the stairs and out to the street.
"Wait!" It wasn't really loud enough to be heard by Iori though. When Kyo ran up behind him and placed a hand on his hsoulder, he whipped around and instinctively grabbed Kyo by the collar of his shirt, lifting him. "Oh!?" Iori dropped him as quickly as he had picked him up. "Sorry...but dammit Kyo don't ever do that again!" Kyo smiled and jumped up, brushing himself off. "That's alight, as long as you apologized!" Iori had turned red again, looking at Kyo out of the corner of his eye, who shot him a quick glance and a grin. Iori shoved his hands back in his pockets and sighed, wondering why he couldn't just strike him down right now. "I thought...you said you didn't like drinking." Kyo shrugged with a smile. "Well...I can make an exception under certain circumstances!" Iori laughed and turned his head to face Kyo. "Yea? Like what?"
Kyo thought for a second then repiled. "Iori, you aren't a bad guy. I know it and you know it. I'm just trying to drag it out of you! Heheheh." Iori smirked and looked back at the ground. "Pheh, good luck searching for nonexistant things.." Kyo eyed him over with confusion. (Does he always feel this way? I wonder...I wonder if he regrets who he is..hahaha..that makes alot of sense. Hell..even I envy him sometimes..he doesn't have many worries besides causing my death! He's even pretty damn c-) "Ow!" Iori had smacked him in the back of the head. "Well don't daydream..besides we're here." Kyo rubbed his head stopped. "You could have just shaken me a little! Hmm..King's pub!"
Iori grinned and went for the door. "I did, I shook your head up. Hehh heh heh.." Kyo narrowed his eyes and knelt down, messing with the laces on his shoe. "Ha ha..that was extremely funny!..I'll be a minute, find a place to sit or something." Iori raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't about to wait for you. Thanks for your permission..tch...heheh." He stepped inside and looked over the room, something very terrible caught his eye and stabbed his heart at the same time. Leona was at a table in the corner. So what? So she was with Ralf. Laughing and carrying on with Ralf. He felt overjoyed! He walked in just in time to see them come together with a small kiss, and Ralf place his hand on top of Leona's. (What!?! Slap him Leona! Do something! No..she's smiling...)
Kyo had pushed himself to the side of Iori. "Yagami! What are you doing just standing around? Sheeesh!" King looked up from washing glasses and smiled at Iori. (I'm making King British..because...it's a pub and it sounds better! Huahahahahahahaha!) "'Allo Iori! Come right in love! Make yourself at 'ome! Evenin' Kyo!" Kyo smiled and waved to King, while Iori shook softly and calmly declined her request. Leona heard Iori's name and stood up, eyes wide in complete shock and despair. "Oh!? Iori! Iori wait!" Iori just turned his gaze to King, chuckling in disbelief of his stupidity. "Maybe later...It's a bit crowded right now.." King gave him a look of confusion, then shrugged and smiled. "Well seeya later then!" Kyo blinked, and was about to say something when he was dragged outside.
"Heyyyy! What's up Yagami!? Why'd we leave so soon?..Wasn't that Leona back there?" Iori sighed and shook his head, and began walking. "No Kyo, she was not. You probably imagined it.." (That's right..and I imagined it too..Leona would never do that.) Kyo decided to go along with it. "Whatever you say Yagami-sama.." They two walked for a while, then Iori stopped and looked up a sign. "I need that drink more than ever.." Kyo tried to change the subject. "Balrog's? Isn't he that boxer? Or used he to be I guess." Iori shrugged and swiftly went for the door. "Who gives a damn, as long as he has alcohol." He sat down with a sigh, Kyo soon following. Balrog grinned at them and spoke up. "What'll it be yous two?" Yagami didn't even hesiate to answer. "Sake. A bottle will be fine." Balrog nodded and turned to Kyo. "Well?" Kyo, who was in some sort of a daze, snapped out of it quickly and answered. "Oh? No thanks! I'm just here for the atmosphere! Heheheh..I'll just have some water!"
Iori raised an eyebrow "Are you serious?..Hey, give him something special ne?" Balrog nodded "Yall aint gonna be comin up in here askin fo water. This is a bar, you drink like a man in here! Stupid wimps always tryin......I gots a little somethin of what I call, "Balrogs One-Two Punch, eh?" Kyo was about to speak up in protest, but he caught Iori shooting him a glance that seemed to issue a challenge. Kyo smirked. "Sure!" Balrog handed them their drinks and they both downed them at the same time.
When he was finished, Iori immediately turned his attention to Kyo, noticing out of the corner of his eye; that Balrog was grinning madly.
Kyo seemed fine...at first. He was smirking proudly. "There! That wasn't so bad! Was I really supposed to *twitch* (Iori: There's the first one..) feel a punch?" "Just you wait little man.."
Balrog laughed as Kyo looked at him in confusement. "What can you possibly ooooo" *smack* (Iori: And there's the second..) Kyo's head thumped onto the bar counter. Iori stared wide eyed, and had started to laugh, soon joined by Balrog, who could barely speak because he was laughing so hard. "They always think they can handle it! Hahahaha!" "Lightweight. Heyy Kyo! Kyo get up..well...he's unconscious..might as well go. Hahahhahahahahhahah!" Iori paid Balrog and picked the comotose Kyo up, slinging him over his shoulder and walking out the door. (Well..now he owes me..even though that was the most fun I've had in a while)
Iori started to feel Kyo shifting against him. "Hmm Beni-kun..mmm" Kyo had brought his lips up to Iori's neck and kissed him . "Kyo! Cut it out!" Iori shrugged Kyo off and blushed at the same time. "Mhmph..don;t make me feel unwanted Beni-kun.." (He must be dreaming. Well, whatever. As long as he doesn't pull anythi-) Just then, Kyo brought his head up from Iori's shoulder, threw his arms around his neck, and put his face right in front of Iori's. "Dammit Kyo I said stop it! I'll kill you here and now!"
Kyo just smiled, still sleepily under the effects of the alcohol. "No matter howwwww hard you try, you just can't sound threatening..hehehe. That's why I love you you know that?" "Kyo.." Before Yagami could yell at him any longer, Kyo's lips were on top of his. That was it, although it took him a while to protest what had just transpired. Iori smacked Kyo in the back of the head, jolting him awake, though not really changing his additude. "Kyo, snap the hell out of it!" "Mmm? Ohh hiii Yagami-kun! I wuz just sleepin a bit heh heh. Hay..why are we flying?" Iori sighed and smiled, assured that Kyo wouldn't remember anything anyway. He shoved his head back down to his shoulder lightly and answered his question. "Heheh you aren't flying Kyo. I am carrying you. You're quite drunk."
Kyo picked his head up from Iori's shoulder and returned a gaze which told Iori that he hadn't listened to a word he had said, only waited till he finished in order to say something himself.
"Ohh..I see..heh heh..You know Iori..I don't zee whyyy you're alwayz actin so mean to me. Do you really feel that way? Hmm?" That was the first time Iori had ever thought about that. He stopped immediately, seemed to ponder it for a second, dismissed the whole idea as lunacy with simple growl, and continued walking again. Soon after they arrived at the apartment.
Iori trudged up the stairs, and opened the door slowly as to not wake Kyo. He laughed softly and walked into the guest room, setting him on the bed. "*Sigh* There you go. Hope you had fun...Kyo-kun...sleep well." He sighed againat his own foolish behavior abd walked back to his room, but not before hearing Kyo wisper "I did Yagami..I hope you sleep well too." This caused Iori to stop dead in his tracks and flinch. (Damn...stupid, stupid Yagami) "Hai...arigatou Kyo.." Iori continued to his room and undressed, then slid under his sheets, just wanting to forget the day, well most of it anyway. He smiled slightly as his mind trailed back to the night's events. "I have to hand it to him...at least he drank it hehheh. Really nailed him too..poor guy." (Poor guy? Why the hell should I zzzzzz) Iori had fallen asleep before he could convince himself again.
End of Chapter 2:Poor Iori! Leona seems to be quite the ho. Tsk tsk. How people seem to be ever-changing! Will Iori break down under pressure!? WIll O.J. Simspon ever be in another "Naked Gun" Movie!? Find out in the next chapter!
Disclaimer: Well.....It's chapter two. Don't expect me to tell you anything! Some evil guy: I don't expect you to, Mr. Veggie, I expect you to die! MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
Kyo sighed and slumped onto the couch, giving his options a final review. "Hmmm..stay with Yagami-kun and risk being killed at any time 24 hours a day..or stay here..safe..only waiting for the inevitable moment of Shingo showing up at the door with a huge smile shouting, *HI KYO-SEMPAI!*?.....PLEASE BE HOME IORI!" Kyo dived for the phone and instantaneously dialed Iori's number, which oddly enough was on speed-dial.
Iori lay on his bed, playing his guitar, when the phone rang. He wasn't paticularly happy about this, as it interrupted a nice little riff he was in the middle of. "Shimatta! That better be someone important!" He sighed and picked up the phone, lightening his mood before he spoke. "Hello, Yagami residence." He immediately winced at the voice on the other end of the line. "Wow, Yagami-kun! You actually sound like a nice person over the phone!" Iori barked an annoyed response. "Nani kuso!?!(T: What the hell? Or, What the fuck? in some cases) Don't address me by Yagami-kun ever again! Why the hell are you calling me!?"
Kyo sweatdropped (well..so much for the nice part...I wonder if he would have acted more pleasant towards someone else) "Well...Yagami-ku...I mean Yagami!..Uhhm..Benimaru left to go visit his parents for the week and hehhh..-" Iori was not pleased in being interrupted just to listen to Kyo stutter. "Spit it out! What does any of this have to do with me!?" "EE! Well...Iori I have a favor to ask of you. I was wondering if I could kinda...well..if you would be kind enough to let me.." He shouted the rest out at the speed of light, nearly passing out in the process. "STAYWITHYOUUNTILHERETURNS!"
Iori narrowed his eyes at Kyo, who obviously couldn't see it. (Why the hell should I care?) "Why!? Are you afraid of the dark? I haven't the time for this stupidity! Goodbye!" Iori turned to set the phone down, already trying to remember where he had left off in the song, when he heard a cry from Kyo, almost a desperate yelp. "WAIT! Iori-sama! If I don't find a place to stay I'll be unbelievably bored, PLUS, Shingo will want to stay with me! You know how annoying he is!" Iori sighed and brought the phone back up. "Why did you have to choose me?" Kyo already had the answer on his tongue "He's afraid of you! He'll stay away! Yagami..onegai! (T: please) Iori smacked his head against the wall slightly and finally gave in. "Very well..but only because I want you to cease whimpering!"
Kyo nearly fell over with glee. "Really!?! Arigatou Yagami! (T: Thank you) I could just kiss you!" Iori flinched as he felt that shock in his chest again. (Wha..) "Wha...whatever! J-just shut up and get over here..n.!" Iori had nearly said now. Kyo's smile nearly ripped his face in two. "Hai! (T:Right!) I'll be over in a few minutes!" Kyo hung up, and Iori let out another frustrated sigh, hung up the phone, and shoved pillow over his face. (What is wrong with me? It's only Kusanagi right? *Exactly, he's what's wrong with you, stupid! Why can't you admit-* Shut up!..I refuse to believe something as ludicrous as that. I don't feel that way anymore.. AGH!) He smacked the pillow off of himself and went back to his guitar, nearly finishing the part when he heard a knock at the door, which itself sounded happy. "Shimatta! *sigh* Well..here goes the beginning of an interestingly painful week.." When he found himself running for the door, he stopped, then resumed at a walking pace.
He reluctantly opened the door, immediately greeted by an overly-happy Kyo. "Yagami-sama!" Kyo jumped on him in a hug and kissed his cheek, smiling ear to ear. "Domo arigatou!" (T: Thank you very much, or much thanks. If you didn't know that...then maybe you should listen to Styx!)
Iori didn't protest for a moment, he didn't seem to be able to, then shoved Kyo off of him. "Kyo! Cut that out!" He spun around as he felt the redness return again.(Why..why am I doing this!?) Kyo raised an eyebrow as if he had done nothing. "Hehehe..is something wrong Iori?"
Iori straightened up quickly, trying to hide his baffled state. "N-no nothing..It's nothing! I just thought I saw something move out of the corner of my eye, that's all!"
Kyo scratched his head in confusion. (Why would he do that? Nothing scares him..) "Okay! Thanks again Yagami-kun! Oh.." Iori, who was too confused with himself to remember to whom he was talking, responded in a decent manner. "Yea..you're welcome." Kyo titled his head, still wondering what was up. "Uhm..where can I put my stuff? Are you sure you are feeling alright Yagami?" (Hell no I'm not!) "Yes..I'm fine..now back off!!..Oh..and you can put your things in the guest room over there. *Iori pointed to a room to the right of his* Okay?" Kyo nodded profusely and Iori dropped his arm back to his side. Kyo then grinned cutely and added one more thing. "Anything to please you, Yagami-sama! Heheh." Iori growled softly as Kyo plodded happily towards the guest room. (Ugh..stop it Kyo..stop messing with my head!)
A few minutes later, Iori regained his composure. "Kyo, get out here!" Kyo slowly poked his head out of the room, the rest of him soon following. "Hai?" (T: In this situation, its used as: "yes?") Iori brushed his hair out of his eyes. "There are some rules we are going to go over."
Kyo nodded, disagreeing with the idea at the same time. (Great. Just what I need, rules. He'll probably be like: "I want this place to be tidy at all times!" Sheesh..I can barely keep my own apartment clean as it is.) "First of all, I want this place to be kept clean, no matter what."
Kyo sweatdropped and nearly fell over, Iori just shot him an annoyed gaze. "Is there a problem?"
Smiling and shaking his head, Kyo gave a frightened response. "N-no not at all!" He laughed nervously and waved his arms in front of him. "No problem here! Please continue!"
Iori couldn't help but grin slightly as he began speaking again. "That's what I thought! Secondly, do not be bringing any of your annoying buddies in here to make my life more intolerable than it already is! If you are going to, at least ask me so I can smack you for asking a stupid question, or say yes and take a sedative...especially if it's Benimaru."
Kyo spoke up with a cute smile. "Uhm..Iori? Benimaru can't annoy you, he's visiting his parents remember? That's why I'm he-" Iori glowered a death glower and continued. "Rule number three. Don't be a smartass!" Kyo gulped and nodded "H-h-hai!" Iori smirked and chuckled slightly, calmly wrapping up. "Oh yes, one more thing. If you wish to remain alive by the end of the week, stay..out..of..my..room." Kyo perked up and smiled again. "Well of course! What would I want in there anyway?" Iori grinned inside, sucesfully avoiding Kyo's attempt to get him thinking again.
"...That's about it." Kyo let out such heavy sigh in relief, he could have taken flight. "Good, I was worried there wouldn't be enough! Hehhehheh...uhm..so what do you want to do hmm?"
(Who the hell does he think he is? How crazy..this morning I tried to kill him and now he thinks he going to follow me along...Hahaha at least he tries.) "Why should it matter to you anyway?" Kyo frowned and put his hands behind his back, rising up and down on his toes. "Well...I was hoping we could maybe spend some time not trying to kill each other, and do something else!" Iori couldn't help but fall onto the couch and laugh, gradually come to a stop,
then stare at the ceiling with an occasional snicker. Kyo on the other hand, wasn't as jovial.
"What!??! What's so funny? I mean it!" Iori ran his fingers through his har and made one more small laugh. "You're serious huh? Heheheh.." Kyo nodded profusely, forming a hopeful smile.
"Yes, I am very serious! Why does it sound so odd to you?" Iori sat up and grinned. This was very amusing indeed. "Heh, it's just the way you think. You're too forgiving..." Kyo smirked "I have no fear of you killing me, otherwise what would you do for the rest of your life hm?"
Iori narrowed his eyes. (well damn...) "Comon let's go.." Kyo nearly did a flip, and Iori thought about knocking him out and leaving without him. (Ugh why am I doing this..it's just Kyo..yea just innocent little Kyo...heh heh heh I should get him drunk! That should be quite amusing) Iori laughed evilly in his mind and grinned just as malevolently. "Iori...are you alright?..Hehhh why are you smiling like that?.meep.." Iori laughed "Let's go have a drink."
Kyo slumped and protested without much avail. "I don't like drinking!" Iori shrugged and started for the door, not really caring one way or the other, knowing that he would win out in the end anyway. "Well then you can be left here. Stay out of my room!" He opened the door and left a quivering Kyo behind. He yawned and stuffed his hands in his pockets, walking with his gaze fixed on the ground. "There goes my fun for the evening.." Kyo nearly ripped the door off its hinges, and almost turned it to splinters when he shut it. He rocketed down the stairs and out to the street.
"Wait!" It wasn't really loud enough to be heard by Iori though. When Kyo ran up behind him and placed a hand on his hsoulder, he whipped around and instinctively grabbed Kyo by the collar of his shirt, lifting him. "Oh!?" Iori dropped him as quickly as he had picked him up. "Sorry...but dammit Kyo don't ever do that again!" Kyo smiled and jumped up, brushing himself off. "That's alight, as long as you apologized!" Iori had turned red again, looking at Kyo out of the corner of his eye, who shot him a quick glance and a grin. Iori shoved his hands back in his pockets and sighed, wondering why he couldn't just strike him down right now. "I thought...you said you didn't like drinking." Kyo shrugged with a smile. "Well...I can make an exception under certain circumstances!" Iori laughed and turned his head to face Kyo. "Yea? Like what?"
Kyo thought for a second then repiled. "Iori, you aren't a bad guy. I know it and you know it. I'm just trying to drag it out of you! Heheheh." Iori smirked and looked back at the ground. "Pheh, good luck searching for nonexistant things.." Kyo eyed him over with confusion. (Does he always feel this way? I wonder...I wonder if he regrets who he is..hahaha..that makes alot of sense. Hell..even I envy him sometimes..he doesn't have many worries besides causing my death! He's even pretty damn c-) "Ow!" Iori had smacked him in the back of the head. "Well don't daydream..besides we're here." Kyo rubbed his head stopped. "You could have just shaken me a little! Hmm..King's pub!"
Iori grinned and went for the door. "I did, I shook your head up. Hehh heh heh.." Kyo narrowed his eyes and knelt down, messing with the laces on his shoe. "Ha ha..that was extremely funny!..I'll be a minute, find a place to sit or something." Iori raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't about to wait for you. Thanks for your permission..tch...heheh." He stepped inside and looked over the room, something very terrible caught his eye and stabbed his heart at the same time. Leona was at a table in the corner. So what? So she was with Ralf. Laughing and carrying on with Ralf. He felt overjoyed! He walked in just in time to see them come together with a small kiss, and Ralf place his hand on top of Leona's. (What!?! Slap him Leona! Do something! No..she's smiling...)
Kyo had pushed himself to the side of Iori. "Yagami! What are you doing just standing around? Sheeesh!" King looked up from washing glasses and smiled at Iori. (I'm making King British..because...it's a pub and it sounds better! Huahahahahahahaha!) "'Allo Iori! Come right in love! Make yourself at 'ome! Evenin' Kyo!" Kyo smiled and waved to King, while Iori shook softly and calmly declined her request. Leona heard Iori's name and stood up, eyes wide in complete shock and despair. "Oh!? Iori! Iori wait!" Iori just turned his gaze to King, chuckling in disbelief of his stupidity. "Maybe later...It's a bit crowded right now.." King gave him a look of confusion, then shrugged and smiled. "Well seeya later then!" Kyo blinked, and was about to say something when he was dragged outside.
"Heyyyy! What's up Yagami!? Why'd we leave so soon?..Wasn't that Leona back there?" Iori sighed and shook his head, and began walking. "No Kyo, she was not. You probably imagined it.." (That's right..and I imagined it too..Leona would never do that.) Kyo decided to go along with it. "Whatever you say Yagami-sama.." They two walked for a while, then Iori stopped and looked up a sign. "I need that drink more than ever.." Kyo tried to change the subject. "Balrog's? Isn't he that boxer? Or used he to be I guess." Iori shrugged and swiftly went for the door. "Who gives a damn, as long as he has alcohol." He sat down with a sigh, Kyo soon following. Balrog grinned at them and spoke up. "What'll it be yous two?" Yagami didn't even hesiate to answer. "Sake. A bottle will be fine." Balrog nodded and turned to Kyo. "Well?" Kyo, who was in some sort of a daze, snapped out of it quickly and answered. "Oh? No thanks! I'm just here for the atmosphere! Heheheh..I'll just have some water!"
Iori raised an eyebrow "Are you serious?..Hey, give him something special ne?" Balrog nodded "Yall aint gonna be comin up in here askin fo water. This is a bar, you drink like a man in here! Stupid wimps always tryin......I gots a little somethin of what I call, "Balrogs One-Two Punch, eh?" Kyo was about to speak up in protest, but he caught Iori shooting him a glance that seemed to issue a challenge. Kyo smirked. "Sure!" Balrog handed them their drinks and they both downed them at the same time.
When he was finished, Iori immediately turned his attention to Kyo, noticing out of the corner of his eye; that Balrog was grinning madly.
Kyo seemed fine...at first. He was smirking proudly. "There! That wasn't so bad! Was I really supposed to *twitch* (Iori: There's the first one..) feel a punch?" "Just you wait little man.."
Balrog laughed as Kyo looked at him in confusement. "What can you possibly ooooo" *smack* (Iori: And there's the second..) Kyo's head thumped onto the bar counter. Iori stared wide eyed, and had started to laugh, soon joined by Balrog, who could barely speak because he was laughing so hard. "They always think they can handle it! Hahahaha!" "Lightweight. Heyy Kyo! Kyo get up..well...he's unconscious..might as well go. Hahahhahahahahhahah!" Iori paid Balrog and picked the comotose Kyo up, slinging him over his shoulder and walking out the door. (Well..now he owes me..even though that was the most fun I've had in a while)
Iori started to feel Kyo shifting against him. "Hmm Beni-kun..mmm" Kyo had brought his lips up to Iori's neck and kissed him . "Kyo! Cut it out!" Iori shrugged Kyo off and blushed at the same time. "Mhmph..don;t make me feel unwanted Beni-kun.." (He must be dreaming. Well, whatever. As long as he doesn't pull anythi-) Just then, Kyo brought his head up from Iori's shoulder, threw his arms around his neck, and put his face right in front of Iori's. "Dammit Kyo I said stop it! I'll kill you here and now!"
Kyo just smiled, still sleepily under the effects of the alcohol. "No matter howwwww hard you try, you just can't sound threatening..hehehe. That's why I love you you know that?" "Kyo.." Before Yagami could yell at him any longer, Kyo's lips were on top of his. That was it, although it took him a while to protest what had just transpired. Iori smacked Kyo in the back of the head, jolting him awake, though not really changing his additude. "Kyo, snap the hell out of it!" "Mmm? Ohh hiii Yagami-kun! I wuz just sleepin a bit heh heh. Hay..why are we flying?" Iori sighed and smiled, assured that Kyo wouldn't remember anything anyway. He shoved his head back down to his shoulder lightly and answered his question. "Heheh you aren't flying Kyo. I am carrying you. You're quite drunk."
Kyo picked his head up from Iori's shoulder and returned a gaze which told Iori that he hadn't listened to a word he had said, only waited till he finished in order to say something himself.
"Ohh..I see..heh heh..You know Iori..I don't zee whyyy you're alwayz actin so mean to me. Do you really feel that way? Hmm?" That was the first time Iori had ever thought about that. He stopped immediately, seemed to ponder it for a second, dismissed the whole idea as lunacy with simple growl, and continued walking again. Soon after they arrived at the apartment.
Iori trudged up the stairs, and opened the door slowly as to not wake Kyo. He laughed softly and walked into the guest room, setting him on the bed. "*Sigh* There you go. Hope you had fun...Kyo-kun...sleep well." He sighed againat his own foolish behavior abd walked back to his room, but not before hearing Kyo wisper "I did Yagami..I hope you sleep well too." This caused Iori to stop dead in his tracks and flinch. (Damn...stupid, stupid Yagami) "Hai...arigatou Kyo.." Iori continued to his room and undressed, then slid under his sheets, just wanting to forget the day, well most of it anyway. He smiled slightly as his mind trailed back to the night's events. "I have to hand it to him...at least he drank it hehheh. Really nailed him too..poor guy." (Poor guy? Why the hell should I zzzzzz) Iori had fallen asleep before he could convince himself again.
