Title                  : More Love Potion?!

Rating               : Uh… either PG or PG-13.

Disclaimer        : Oh, you know it already.

Notes               : Hi again! This chapter might be my  favorite one.  Well, maybe not. But anyway, I wrote this right when I was in my perfect writing mood, which is good.

                        But then, there's the chance that you won't like it 'cause ff.net is not displaying my fics the way I want it to be displayed. I'm working on that, though.

                        Oh, this chappie has some scenes you might not like. Someone might think it's funny, but someone else might think it's plainly disgusting! It's not my fault; my imagination was getting sort of silly when I wrote this…

                        And there are also scenes you might not want little children to read. Nope, no lemons or limes. But if you've got a wild imagination… it might be something sour!

                        There are a lot of swear words, too.

                        I'm just warning you.

                        Just in case.

                        I forgot. This fic is, and forever will be, RUHANA. Or HANARU. Whichever. As long as Sakuragi and Rukawa are in it.

Summary          : The potion's out, but Sakuragi and Rukawa don't seem to be affected! Mitsui and Miyagi watch something on TV… And Sakuragi's hand is dripping wet with something……… Oh, and there's a little misunderstanding between the guys… Read on!

Chapter Seven

***** ***** *****

                        The alarm clock  rang. Loudly. It rang for a minute or so. After a few seconds, it rang again. Louder. Its owner, though, might never be awakened.

Rukawa Kaede was still asleep. It seemed not even the best alarm clock could ever wake him up, especially since he'd slept late last night. Rukawa just turned over

 and buried himself under the bed sheets.

                        The clock did work on someone else: Sakuragi Hanamichi. Walking unsteadily, the redhead reached among the covers to search for his room mate.

  "Oh. Here he is." Giving Rukawa a small shake, he said, "Hey. Rukawa. Wake up. The alarm's driving me crazy."

                        Rukawa just kept on sleeping. His head lolled and landed on Sakuragi's hand. What's worse (or even better—depends on your opinion), his drool

slowly dripped onto Sakuragi's hand. One drop, two drops, three drops. Soon a pool of drool was starting to form.

                        Sakuragi could only stare in shock. Shaking off the drool, he shook Rukawa with more urgency. "Wake up! Damn it! Come on! Wake up!" No response. "What's with you, Rukawa?! Come on! Open your eyes!" Sakuragi shook some more.

                        Slowly, Rukawa woke up. He gave Sakuragi an intense stare. The redhead felt his eyes go wide. Rukawa's stare was so… enticing. Then, Rukawa fell asleep. Again. This time, drool dripped at an even more alarming rate, sending Sakuragi into a state of panic. Or maybe madness.

                        "Damn! Shit!" Sakuragi jumped on the bed, landing on Rukawa's knees. Still, Rukawa slept on, not feeling a thing. Sakuragi reached for Rukawa's shoulders with wet (drooly?) hands and started shaking them some more. "Wake up! C'mon! The genius is waking you up! Wake up!"

                        "Wake up, will you?! Come on! I, the genius Sakuragi, command you to wake up! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!…"

***** ***** *****

                        In another room, another alarm was ringing. This time, the owner woke up at once. Looking at thee calendar, Mitsui Hisashi punched the air with his fist. "Oh yeah! No class today!"

                        He searched the room for his roomie. That was when he heard it. Through the rush of the water (coming from the shower—duh), a voice was heard. Singing. Out of tune. (1) "Itooshi hito no tame ni… ima nani ga… dekiru kana… kana wanai yume wa nai YO, masuguni…………………"

                        Mitsui started sniggering. Clearly, Miyagi doesn't sing as well as he played basketball. In fact, it was the total opposite!

                        "Mugen heto… hirake… FUSHIGI YUUGI………" Miyagi finished his song. He paused, then sang a new one. (2) "Sou sa make a treasure sabitsuita toki no naka ni kimi no koe wo kiku kono mama todoketai…hikari no naka kimi ga matte'ru … … …" Mitsui fell off his bed in a gale of laughter.

                        Suddenly, Miyagi paused in the middle of his second song. He launched into… (3)"How can you see into my eyes like open doors… leading you down into my core where I've become so numb…without a soul… my spirit sleeping somewhere cold… until you find it there and lead it back home…" That sent Mitsui rolling on the floor. He was actually breathless from the laughter. His face was beet red and he was gasping for air.

                        Miyagi stepped out of the shower, wearing a towel around his waist. He glanced at Mitsui, who was laughing his life out. "What's up?"

                        The minute Mitsui saw his room mate, he took a deep breath and started laughing wildly. "You…… hahahahahahaha…. Singing… … hahahahahahahahahahaha…. …. Shower… ……" He was too weak to talk.

                        He got a glare from Miyagi. "Everybody sings in the shower, idiot."

                        "I didn't know you were so girly, man." Mitsui regained his usual composure. "I mean… singing the song from Curious Play and everything."

                        "If you're not girly, how the hell did you know the song's from Curious Play?" Miyagi demanded.

                        "Oh." Mitsui turned away. "My sisters watch that. Lirin and Yaone." A different shade of red crept up his cheeks. He hoped Miyagi wouldn't be able to see it. He wouldn't be able to live it down.

                        "Liar."

                        "No, I'm not."

                        Miyagi shot a quick question, "Who's Amiboshi's twin?"

                        "Suboshi, of cou—oops." Mitsui realized he'd fallen for the trick. Too late.

                        Miyagi grinned. "Suboshi, huh?"

                        Death glares were sent across the room towards Miyagi. Finally, Mitsui sighed. "All right, all right. I watch that, okay? It's nice."

                        "Nice?!" It was Miyagi's turn to snigger. Mitsui, ex-MVP, ex-gangster, watched Curious Play?!

                        "Oh, shut up." Mitsui rolled his eyes. He couldn't figure out why Miyagi had to laugh at him. Oh, well. Miyagi didn't need to know about is week-long crush on Miaka. Yuck. At least, he didn't like her that much now. Yui actually got prettier and prettier as the series progressed. Still, there wasn't anything wrong with watching it, was there? Aside from the fact that the majority of its audience was female… there wasn't anything wrong. In his opinion, anyway.

                        Miyagi mimicked Mitsui's eye-rolling. "Whoa, Mitsui. You're acting like Rukawa again."

                        "Me? Act like Rukawa? Why would I do that?"

                        "Well, I don't know. Maybe you think you can play basketball better if you act like him. Right?"

                        "I play better that he does. I defeated him in one-on-one during high school, remember?"

                        Miyagi snorted. "I can still remember your dirty trick."

                        The only reply he got was a glare.

                        "Okay, okay. Calm down. You won, okay? Relax."

                        Mitsui smiled. "Good." But he had to admit, he also noticed it himself. The glaring, eye-rolling, he'd been acting a bit like a Rukawa-clone lately. Whatever was wrong with him. "Oh--" A thought entered his mind. "Today's the day the potion's effects wear off of Rukawa and Sakuragi. I have to go to their room right now."

                        "You want to be beaten up for the second time in two years, huh?"

                        "I just want to be there to explain anything, in case they want explanations."

                        Miyagi pretend-sobbed. "How touching."

***** ***** *****

                        Sakuragi stared desperately at Rukawa. He'd been trying to wake the guy up for a long time. "Come on, Rukawa! Why don't you wake up! Why?! What do you want? Just wake up!" He started thumping up and down on Rukawa's knees. Anything just to wake Rukawa up. The pressure didn't even make a difference. Rukawa slept on peacefully.

                        He leaned over and grabbed Rukawa's shoulders again, risking the safety of his hands. He shook hard. No reaction. He shook more. Still no reaction. Then, he tried shaking while thumping. Rukawa's eyes slowly fluttered.

                        Then…

                        The door opened up.

***** ***** *****

                        Mitsui and Miyagi stared in shock. Unbelievable. Here was Sakuragi, thumping up and down on top of Rukawa. Most of all, Rukawa didn't even seem to be complaining.

                        "Uh… Hanamichi?" Miyagi asked. "Sorry to disturb you… but…"

                        "What?!" Sakuragi half-shouted, still trying to wake Rukawa up.

                        Miyagi started to snigger. Then, laugh. Then… he was hysterical.

                        "Um… ah… It's really basic, but…  you both have to be naked first." Mitsui suggested helpfully. He ran down the hall with Miyagi. Both guys were laughing wildly.

***** ***** *****

                        Sakuragi gaped at the door. 'They think I'm doing……… something…………to………Rukawa. Oh hell."

                        "Huh? Get off of me," a drowsy voice said. Sakuragi looked down. Rukawa's awake! He quickly jumped off.

                        "Sorry…"

                        "Sakuragi?" Rukawa said. "Have you got memories of the past month?"

                        Sakuragi thought. A blush slowly crept up his cheeks. "We've been together. As lovers…"

                        "It happened after we drank the soda."

                        "Yeah. Hey, our truce. Before that happened. Let's forget about breaking it. I like you better this way."

                        "Me too."

                        "But Mitchy's got to do some explaining!" Sakuragi growled. "Must be his potion at work again."

                        "We saw his potion, but we took it," Rukawa reasoned. "Let him explain before you maul him out."

                        "Whatever you say, Kaede."

                        "But before that…"

                        Rukawa engaged Sakuragi in a long and passionate kiss.

Notes: Okay, so this isn't exactly how I want ff.net to display my fics, but I think it's better compared to the last chapters.

(1) That was the song from Curious Play. It's not mine.

(2) That one's from Gensomaden Saiyuki. It's not mine, either.

(3) And that's from the soundtrack of Daredevil. The title is Bring Me To Life. It's sung by Evanescence. It's not mine, too.

This fic's coming to an end, but I still don't know how chapters there will be. Never mind, though.

I love ruhana. Zutto.

Well, I guess that's all.

Ja!
