GLADIATOR CHAPTER 2: THE PURSUIT
" Teme, Gori! You didn't have to do that!" Hanamichi shouted angrily after he'd received a painful punch on his head. BONG! Another famous Gori Punch.
" Shut up! It serves you right. You should have paid more attention!" Takenori said firmly while Ayako, their physician gave treatment to the boiling Hanamichi who glared at him.
" Yeah, and you are so troublesome to involve my Ayako as well," Miyagi snapped at Hanamichi. Both were sending sparks of electricity at each other until.
" Ehem."
All eyes turned towards the newcomer in the room." Who are you?" Hanamichi was the first to break the momentary silence. BONG! Another super Gori Punch.
" Hanamichi, don't be rude!" Takenori scolded the red-head as Kiminobu and Hisashi tried their best to stop both of them.
" Ehem."
Takenori stepped out and bowed slightly." Lord Chamberlain."
" Lord Chamberlain?!" Everyone chorused in surprise together.
" You mean," Hanamichi pointed at the Minami," is a Lord chamberlain?" BONG! Another Gori Punch.
" K'so, you stupid Gori! That's the third time today!" Hanamichi shouted, clutching his head that had three big lumps.
" Please forgive him, Lord Chamberlain. He doesn't really know the rules," Takenori said, sending eye messages to Hanamichi that clearly stated, SHUT UP!
" Apology accepted, Captain. I'm here today to inform you that His Majesty wants to see Hanamichi immediately," Minami said, looking at Hanamichi.
" Huh? Me?" Hanamichi pointed at himself, a dazed look on his face. He turned his head left and right and then back at Minami. A slow smile began to linger on his lips.
" Lord Chamberlain, are you sure? His Majesty really wants to see this Hanamichi?!" Hisashi and Miyagi shouted together. Both of them eyed the snickering Hanamichi.
" Nyahahaha.I'm the genius of all geniuses!" Hanamichi laughed. BONG! As usual, another Gori Punch. Hanamichi slumped onto the ground, the new lump on his head had smoke coming out from it. Irritated, Hanamichi shouted," Will you stop doing that!"
" Lord Chamberlain, Hanamichi needs to get out of his armor and we all know very well that he can't go meet His Majesty covered in dried blood and dirt. His wounds are still untended," Ayako said thoughtfully. " We promise that he'll be ready as soon as possible."
" See, Hanamichi. My Aya-chan is so thoughtful even to a monkey like you," Miyagi practically drooled. Fwap! Miyagi got a taste of Ayako's famous move. Her paper fan.
" WHAT?! I don't want to see him!" Hanamichi shouted. He had heard rumors about the Emperor that he was fat, ugly and had oily skin. He also heard that His Majesty had a weird character that changes almost immediately and also enjoys ordering and torturing people. Boy, Those rumors did really make the Emperor of Kitsuno a living devil. ((.total opposite of Rukawa Kaede, don't you think so?.))
All the occupants' eyes in the room dwelled onto Hanamichi, making him feel pressured. The word, DO YOU WANNA DIE?, multiplied in the background. Sensing this, Hanamichi sat cowered in a corner.
" Don't worry, Lord Chamberlain," Takenori eyed Hanamichi dangerously," I'll make sure that he'll be ready." When Minami nodded, Takenori ushered him out with the others following, leaving Hanamichi alone.
" Teme, they ignored the tensai!" Hanamichi grounded out, furious. He paced to and fro in the room, steam coming out from his ears." How dare they ignore me!" Hanamichi muttered to himself. " I am after all the genius in the fighting arena!"
" I don't see why His Majesty wants to see him. He looks pretty dumb to me."
Hanamichi whirled around to seek the owner of such a mischievous voice. " Who are you?! Show yourself!" Hanamichi called out as he pulled out his sword.
" Barbarian, we've been ordered to take you to our Emperor. Surrender or die!"
" Why would the tensai surrender to someone who has no guts to show himself?" Hanamichi waved his sword at the dark corner or the room. He aimed his sword at the two figures in black who'd just materialized in front of him.
" You'd better come with us quietly," the other black figure said.
" No way! You can tell your Emperor to go to hell! You black monkeys!"
" Does that mean you're not coming along quietly, barbarian?" The first figure in black asked mockingly.
" K'so! I'm going to kill you!" Hanamichi was at his boiling peak. No one has ever called him a barbarian! He was a fully-fledged gladiator, for heaven's sake! " I'm not going to forgive you for calling me a barbarian!" He charged at the black figures without another thought. The black figures disappeared and reappeared behind Hanamichi.
" Koshino, His Majesty wants him alive and unharmed," the owner of the second voice warned the other. " His Majesty will have your head if something happens to him."
" Ceh, you don't need to remind me of that, Hikoichi," the figure called Koshino spat irritably. Then, he turned towards Hanamichi and said," You are coming with us whether you like it or not. Our Majesty, Emperor of Hoshio requests an audience with you."
" Grrr..How dare you order me around!" Hanamichi shouted angrily as he chased the black figures out of the room. He ran as fast as the black figures and fought with them. He dodged every attack easily and so did the two black figures. He knew he was outnumbered but his pride refused to let him lose to his enemies. Damn! My arm is bleeding again I need to shake them off. When the black figures sensed his withdrawal, they attacked him even more fiercely.
Hanamichi ran and dodged every attack until he came to a dead end. The white wall was about 8 to 10 feet high but that won't stop him. He concentrated and jumped, surprising the other two. " You'll never catch me now!" But the other two jumped as well and chased him. " Damn!" Hanamichi held his bleeding arm and ran as fast as he could on the wall.
" Let's see where else can you run now!" Koshino laughed as he threw a few daggers towards Hanamichi.
Hanamichi used his sword to repel the attack but the last dagger sliced his hand. He gave a cry of pain and his sword was thrown off, leaving him weaponless and defendless.
" You're injured and weaponless, you can't go anywhere now. Give it up, barbarian!"
" I will never surrender to you! Black monkeys!" Hanamichi shouted, his brain working feverishly to plan an escape. Then, he grinned and jumped down onto the other side of the wall, wincing slightly with pain when he landed. He ran into the garden that was full of blooming flowers of various kinds and colors and hid behind a big bush. Hanamichi held his breath and crouched down as the figures in black passed him by.
" Did you see him?"
" No, where'd he go?"
" Halt! Who goes there?!" Kitsuno's guards had spotted the black figures and alerted the other guards.
" Damn! We need to go now!" Koshino said as he pulled his friend and both of them disappeared into thin air.
Hanamichi felt relieved but his troubles were not over yet because Kitsuno's guards began searching the garden. He backed away slowly and SPLASH! Hanamichi had fallen in a pond? No, a huge bathing tub or bathing pool. When he surfaced, he gasped for air and his wounds hurt intensely but the bleeding wasn't as bad as it was earlier. Hanamichi felt peculiar because he was in a pool with milky water that was scented with perfumed oil.
" Now where had the intruders disappeared to?" One of the guards appeared from behind the bush and Hanamichi quickly dived back into the water.
" We'd better leave now because this is His Majesty's private bathing pool," the other guard said and both of them quickly retreated when they saw the Emperor approaching in a white robe.
I can't stay like this forever. Hanamichi was beginning to suffocate but he wasn't about to be captured or punished by that stupid Emperor.
Kaede let his robe fall from his pale shoulders after he had dismissed his attendants. He likes to be alone and unattended in his private chamber especially while he was bathing. He soaked himself in the fragrant water and leaned back, his thoughts wondering back to that re-haired gladiator. How does it feel like to look into those golden brown eyes? Kaede thought sleepily when suddenly.
To be continued.
A/N:
Exciting, isn't it? What do you think will happen next? I'll leave that to your imagination. No, I didn't copy this from anywhere. Not from Slam Dunk or Gladiator. Actually, my friend gave me the inspiration to write this fanfic. She said that Hanamichi is too man to be involved in any yaoi relationship. That's why she prefers SenRu. But we all know how wrong she is, don't we? Tina Caps, I agree that Kurt Russell is very dashing in Gladiator. So does Hanamichi. Nyahahaha. If there are any spelling mistakes or grammar mistakes, gomen na. Nobody is perfect, right?
Chap 3 will be published soon if that is I survive my exams. Ja, mata ne!
Oh yeah! No flames! : P
