Author's note: Hi again. Just wanted to relay the information that the
lyrics to "The Time Warp" and "Sweet Transvestite" will appear in this
chapter, even though I don't need to rewrite them. Why? Simple: because I
like "The Time Warp", and I find it hilarious to imagine Nuriko singing
"Sweet Transvestite". And I also wanted to answer the question of one of my
readers (I forget the name): No, the Koji in my story is not from
Transformers. He is Tasuki's best friend. I chose him because I needed
someone who cared about Tasuki, much as Dr. Everett Scott cared for Eddie
in "Rocky Horror". I came out with Koji. Well, that's about it for now. Ja
ne!
Chapter Two
Oh! You're back. Okay then, let's continue .
As Cye finishes knocking on the door, it slowly - very slowly - opens. Behind it is a weird-looking guy wearing makeup. He searches with his eyes for the person who knocked on the door, finding Hope and Cye. Looking the two over, he notices they are dripping wet. "Oh. You're soaked. You better come inside until the rain stops." He opens the door a little wider to allow the couple in. They look at each other with apprehension, but enter anyway. "It's nice of you to invite us into your home like this," Cye says to their host. "MY home? Don't make me laugh. I just live here. You may address me as Tomo. If you'll wait a second, I'll introduce you to my sister, Brene." Before the couple can protest, Tomo goes off into the next room to retrieve his sister. A few seconds later they hear protesting from what sounds like a female. "Let go of me you fruity fairy! I said I didn't want to leave my room!! Something very interesting was happening on my monitor and I want to see what's going on!" Tomo's voice is heard next. "You can watch that stupid thing any time. I said you were going to meet our guests. They're expecting you." At this, Tomo reappears with a blonde female. "This is Brene." The two smile and politely introduce themselves, noticing the scarcity of clothes on the young blonde's part. "Yeah, yeah. Hi. Can I go now?" Tomo shakes his head disappointedly. "Your behavior is astounding." "Astounding, O brother dear?" The two siblings exchange an evil grin, as if they can read each other's minds. A couple of seconds later, Tomo and Brene break into song: ("The Time Warp") (A/N: Words between the two ~'s are always the chorus.) "[Tomo] It's astounding/ Time is fleeting/ Madness takes its toll/ But listen closely/ [Brene] Not for very much longer/ [Tomo] I've got to . keep control/ I remember/ Doing the Time Warp/ Drinking/ Those moments when/ The blackness would hit me/ [Together] And the void would be calling . / LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!/ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!/ ~ [Tomo] It's just a jump to the left/ [All] And then a step to the ri-i-i-i-ight/ [Tomo] Put your hands on your hips/ [All] And then your knees get ti-ight/ Then it's the pelvic thru-ust/ And then it drives you insa-a-a-a-ane/ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!/ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!~/ [Brene] It's so dreamy/ O fantasy free me!/ So you can't see me/ No, not at all/ In another dimension/ With voyeuristic intentions/ Well-secluded, I see all/ [Tomo] With a bit of a mind-flip/ [Brene] You're into the time slip/ [Tomo] And nothing/ Can ever be the same/ [Brene] You're spaced out on sensation/ [Tomo] Like you're under sedation!/ [All] LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!/ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!" Just then, another blonde female enters the room. She, too, begins to sing: " [Mihoshi] Well I was walking down the street, just-a having a think, when a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink!/ He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise, he had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes/ He stared at me and I felt a change/ Time meant nothing, never would again!/ [All] LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!/ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!/ ~Chorus~ "
When the group is finished singing, they notice that their guests have horrified looks on their faces. Tomo is the first to speak. "Oh. Sorry. This is Mihoshi. She's my sister's roommate." Cye gives himself a mental shake and extends his hand toward the indicated female. "Charmed, I'm sure. My name is Cye, and this is my girlfriend Hope." Mihoshi nods, smiles, releases Cye's hand, and exits. "Er . nice people you got here." "Oh, don't worry. You haven't yet met them all." Tomo gives a little chuckle. "My master is busy at the moment, and you can never tell when he'll be finished with one of his stupid projects. My suggestion for you would be to relax until he comes downstairs." Cye and Hope both shake their heads adamantly. "That's quite okay. We'll just stand here and wait for . er . your master." All of a sudden, they hear a door upstairs slam. This seems to interest Tomo. "Heh. Speak of the devil." "NANI?!" "Calm down, er . Hope, is it? That was my master's laboratory door. He should be down soon." At this, a gorgeous-looking male wearing a very short dress enters the hall via an elevator. "My good guests, this is my master, Nuriko." The one Tomo calls Nuriko nods and, unexpectedly to his three companions, starts singing as he walks into the room: ("Sweet Transvestite") "How d'you do, I/ See you've met my/ Faithful handyman/ He's just a little brought down because/ When you knocked/ He thought you were the candy man/ Don't get strung up/ By the way I look/ Don't judge a book by its cover/ I'm not/ Much of a man/ By the light of day/ But by night I'm one hell of a lover/ ~I'm just a sweet transvestite/ From Transsexual, Transylvania!~/ Let me/ Show you around, maybe/ Play you a sound/ You look like you're both pretty groovy/ Or if you want something visual that's not/ Too abysmal/ We can take in an old Steve Reeves movie." Cye interrupts him at this point, as does Hope: "[Cye] I'm glad we caught you at home. Could we use your phone? We're both in a bit of a hurry." "[Hope] Right!" "[Cye] We'll just stay where we are then go back to the car. We don't want to be any worry." Following this, Nuriko picks up where he was: "Well you got/ Caught with a flat, well/ How 'bout that?/ Well babies, don't you panic/ By the light of the night/ It'll all seem alright/ I'll get you a satanic mechanic/ ~Chorus~/ Why don't you . stay for the night?/ Or maybe . a bite?/ I could show you my favorite . obsession/ I've been . making a man/ With blonde hair and a tan/ And he's good for relieving my . tension/ ~Chorus 2x~/ So come up to the lab/ And see what's on the slab/ I see you shiver with antici . pation/ But maybe the rain/ Isn't really to blame/ So I'll remove the cause/ But NOT the SYMPTOM!"
Cye and Hope just stare at Nuriko as he finishes his song, not knowing what to make of the strange 'man'. He senses their hostility and smiles. "Hmm. You two are drenched. Oh well, no worries. BRENE!" The blonde sticks her head in the room. "Nani yo, master?" "Help our guests. Get them out of the wet clothes they're wearing." Brene nods and pulls Hope toward her. "Come on." The two disappear into Brene's room for all of about two seconds and Hope exits, wearing little more than her skin. The same is true for Cye (although with guys it's a bit more acceptable). "There you go. Now don't disturb me!" Brene slams her door and that's all she says for the time being. Nuriko looks at his guests. "Well, let me give you the tour. We'll start up in the lab." He closes the door of the elevator, apparently assuming that the two and Tomo will follow. When they enter the so-called "lab", their sight falls upon a frightened- looking blonde male. "Everyone, this is Quatre, my creation and my pride and joy." Hope and Cye exchange a glance; clearly questioning what Nuriko means exactly by the words 'my creation'. The boy called Quatre smiles weakly and then sits down, undoubtedly wondering who these people are. Nuriko smiles lovingly at Quatre and then (shock!) begins to sing to him:
* "I Can Make You a Man" plays *
When Nuriko is done singing he looks at Quatre, expecting him to be happy about the song. What he sees is that his 'creation' is a bit confused over the whole thing. "Er . uh, why don't we all go downstairs? It's a lot more interesting there than it is here." Not having any better ideas, the rest of the group decides to follow. After they are all downstairs and accounted for, Nuriko begins explaining the weird things that are seen around the place. All of a sudden, he is interrupted by the sound of a rapidly approaching motorcycle.
