Golden-Blue Neko

Chapter 3 - Let's Play!

"speech" [thoughts] ~~~POV change~~~ ***passing of time ^^^Sounds^^^ ***flashback***

MeLaiya - I reply to everyone. Especially if there's a question - of course I'll answer it. Not only that, my answers to questions may also spawn more stuff, like, say, offerings of my illustrations/fanart for viewing to make the fic have a sort of "novel with pictures" type of deal.

Song - Oh, about that, there are @ least 3 ways to say "no". There's "iie," "iya," & "nai". "Iie" & "iya" both mean: "No!" & are interchangeable. "Nai" means both "no" & "not". I should know. I have a dictionary! ^_^ Yippee for Japanese/English English/Japanese dictionaries!

Little Rabbit f/LRPLI - Oh, well, at least it wasn't graphic. I label the chapters if it's got hentai (AKA: Lemon/lime/where I get descriptive That was the mildest I've written, &, besides, Yamato didn't get far @ all!) Anyway, for hentai chapters, I label them either "lemon" or "lime". If I get a lemon, I up the rating (to "R" just so I don't get in trouble like last time), but if it's "lime", I will probably keep the rating as the same. So, say for instance, last chapter, there was a lemon, well, I would have written: "Otherworldly Brothers, Lemon" on the drop-down text box's title. Not only that, I think I also do that to the document itself.

Daiko BlacK - I'm glad this work is an enjoyable read for you!

Sol Sabre - Kinky? How so? Oh, that thing with sleeping Nekome?

Thank you for your reviews! They help me write faster! Yay! *glomps everyone*

Unfortunately, I haven't any particular drawings for this fic, but I am working on them. I have a few of Kurohi, but they are a few months older than my current drawing style. I also can't access some of them b/c my zip drive's fried & it took my Pictures disk with it. It's stuck! Anyway, my dad's taking it out to be fixed/replaced so I can send them around once he gets to that. I have 1 picture of Nekome, done "Megaman" style. (No, he's not wearing armor).

------------------------------------

Lan dashed after Nekome across the grass. The wind whipped at their faces, and JUST as the brown-haired boy managed to catch up, Nekome rolled to one side and dashed the other way... for the seventh time.

"Nekome! I give up!"

The dark-haired one stopped short, turned his head, and was promptly tackled into the ground. The male's breath came out of his lungs in a rush as his back collided with the grass. He blinked as his head cleared and stared into blue eyes. "You got me... You little trickster."

The other boy chuckled. This trick NEVER worked with his friends! It was nice for his tricks to work for a change. This guy was fun to be with, as he never seemed to be able to see Meiru, Dex, or even Yai, at times lately.

"Kurohi used to do that to me, too." His eyes narrowed slightly. "I like that." He smiled lightly, panting softly. His breaths brushed against the other's brown bangs.

Lan's face flushed; he tried to back up, but a stronger hand grasped his own. "N-Nekome... Nani..."

As Nekome quickly moved to sit up, his lips fondled Lan's softly in a fleeting touch. He did not notice the other's pleasure course through that body, but he definitely felt his own sing through his veins at the intimate action. The boy named Cat Eye then released the other's lips as he stood; as if it all had been an accident. In the breeze, his half-length-sleeved shirt - bearing his and Kurohi's logo, that of an eye - and loose slacks billowed. His long, dark hair was tousled gently; his eyes glittered like a feline's.

As the darkest-haired one offered his hand, a veil of indifference over his rosy face. The other male shakily took it and was hoisted to his feet in one movement. His hand felt a gentle burning against the dark one's, and pulled away quickly. He then grasped the fact that he was slightly shorter than Nekome as well, but only by half an eye-height, as both their eyes - gold and blue - were almost equally tall.

Silently, the dark-haired one walked over to his PET. "Kurohi?"

In the Net, Kurohi stopped pinning Megaman to the ground - they had been wrestling - and looked up to his brother's face. He looked positively spooked and shocked, eyes wide and irises not big enough to take up the white. "E-Etou, hai?" (U-um, yes?)

"About ready to go home?" asked his brother simply.

His Navi-turned-brother hesitated. He stepped off Megaman and nodded. "Yeah... Etou..."

Nekome blinked at his Navi, then, after a moment, smiled in understanding. He nodded, then frowned as a drop of rain hit his nose. His eyes crossed at this, then uttered to Lan, turning his head, "Oi, Lan-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you like to spend the night at my house?--" At this, Kurohi blushed. "--I recall asking mom if I could have friends over this weekend, and she said it was okay." [Besides, it's going to rain. I can smell it.]

"Sure. Let me just e-mail mom." He strode over fiddled with his PET. "Okay. So, it's tonight? I'll walk home if weather permits, okay?"

Nekome nodded and quietly uttered agreement. His brother won in multiple ways.

Lan told Megaman what to put down and sent the e-mail. He then jacked-out Megaman; Kurohi was also jacked-out.

"Ikutsu, Lan-kun!" (A/N: I think I heard Yusuke Urameshi from Yu*Yu*Hakusho say this. It translated as something along the lines of "Let's go!".)

"Aa." (Yes.)

Shoving their PETs into their belts, Nekome took to the skies as Lan took to the ground, glancing up occasionally to keep track of the dark-haired boy. They journeyed in the silence of their speech, and the constant music of the rain.

Other people had rushed to shelter while the Lan skated across the sidewalk, and Nekome jumped across streetlights.

Nekome perched on a street lamp as Lan tried to catch up. He looked down toward behind him, and saw the boy skating up close. He was soaked to the bone. The taller one wasn't much better. His spikes had decided to melt and his clothing clung further to his skin.

"Nekome! How much farther?"

"Not long! One more block!" encouraged the gold-eyed one. He smiled, then continued to jump. He enjoyed the wind and rain hitting his face and everything to belong with rain, but he was starting to get cold. He couldn't smell anything except the rain, too!

Lan frowned and glanced down at Megaman. "He's strange... I don't know if he meant it or not, but he kissed me...!" he uttered to his Navi in a hushed volume.

"Huh... Maa, I'm not sure what to think about that, either, Lan." [Considering Kurohi's been playing normally with me, I can't report anything about him. Yet, since he admitted to me he's homosexual, I wonder...]

"Lan! Yamete yo!" (Stop!!) barked a voice.

The male looked up, and collided into the muscled boy. His feet tripped over themselves, and he felt his balance drop to zero. Swiftly, strong hands came out and snagged his shoulders to keep him from falling anywhere at all. He looked up and blinked his huge eyes in shock and then thanks. "Arigato, Nekome." He steadied himself before looking like he was ready. He stared at Nekome for a full second before the other boy walked up some stairs. Lan followed.

"Okaachan, I'm home!" (a very friendly way of saying "mother" adding "san" means you have respect. "chan" is intimate) chimed the boy. He was greeted back by a middle-aged woman in the kitchen. "This is Lan-kun, boku no aibou!" (my friend!)

Nekome promptly kicked off his shoes; Lan followed suit. Boy, were they drenched! Nekome's hair resembled that of wet cat hair, and his brown spikes weren't any better.

"Ah, hi Lan! Kon'nichi wa Kurohi-chan!"

"Hi mom!" replied the Navi. He frowned. "I hope that they get that realistic hologram project in the air soon! That way I can have a physical body!"

Lan nodded. "Yeah! Same goes for Megaman!" Lan peeked down at his Navi. "Ne?"

"Yeah!!"

"Anyway,--" Lan's head perked up. "--Okaachan, we'll be upstairs. Could you bring up some tea sometime?" asked Nekome, walking into another room. He had his head poked out the side.

"Sure thing. Hot?"

"Hai! Arigato, Okaachan! This way, Lan!" he called to his new friend - and possible crush. He trooped silently up the stairs, followed by a louder Lan. The two optimistic boys rounded another corner at the top of the stairs. The walls were a light shade of blue, only shadowed by what the brilliant bulbs couldn't shine through - the plants that adorned the corners of the walls. A few pictures adorned the upper wall. One of which was a graceful red dragon with blue eyes. Its treasure held onto its neck - a simple, lean-muscled man - as it took to the skies. Other pictures were of anime females and a few official posters shielded by glass and frames.

Nekome stopped at a door adorned by a single Net Navi promotion poster and flung the door wide open.

The gray walls were covered by posters of various animes and games. A desk stood in the far right corner, littered with drawing papers filled with half-finished ideas. A shelf above that showed off a wide collection of unofficial doujinshis from many authors/artists like Tide and MIG21 Special. Another shelf, above that one, held many .hack//, Yu*Yu*Hakusho, Wish, Mars, FAKE, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas.

A bunk bed adorned the wall across from the door, - both beds neatly made - and a walk-in closet was to its left. A computer sat on a table just below it, still on and running. It was online and waiting for the commands. A portable phone sat to the right of the monitor. The charger had a place to jack-in.

Just then, a screen-saver featuring two fighting Navis showed up on a black screen and started to shoot at each other. One dodged before unleashing attacks and the other was on just plain-old auto fire.

"I call my room my "den". You're welcome in here in your stay," he chirped with a charming smile. "While you're here, this is both your home as it is mine! You can have my bed, the floor, or you can sleep in Kurohi's room."

"NEKOME!!!" shrieked Kurohi. "You'd better not let anyone ELSE in my room just because my body's dead!"

Lan gulped. "I'll take the bed?"

Nekome smiled sexily inwardly, but cheerfully outwardly. "Okay! I'll nab the floor! My room's not called a Den for nothin'!" He yanked some blankets out from under the bed and spread them on the floor. He nabbed a pillow from his bed and let it fly somewhere among the mass of blankets. "There! I'll fix it later. First, let's get out of these clothes... they're makin' me grouchy..."

With that, he flung off his shirt and began doing his belts. He left the fly undone and started taking his socks off. He flung the white garments off into, what it seemed, a corner in the room, and into a plastic, blue basket.

The living blue-eyed one dutifully turned away. "Where's the bathroom?"

"Oh! Yeah! Out my room and to the left. Here." As the Net Battler turned around, Nekome flung some pajamas into his arms. The gray pants landed on his mop of brown hair before falling into the heap in his arms. "Change into these. I think they'll fit... they'll probably be a bit baggy, though."

Speechless, the boy nodded and high-tailed it out of there, clutching the sweatpants and white tee shirt in his arms. He closed the door quietly behind himself.

Nekome unclipped the PET and set it on the stand near the monitor. Kurohi had closed his blue eyes, as he never peeked at his brother. Last time he did, he got a hair-crushing, head-bruising noogie and a yank on his orange and black tail. Needless to say, he never did it again... even in Navi form.

He opened his eyes after he received an "okay" from his older brother.

Gold eyes were RIGHT in his face when his eyes opened! His younger brother was used to this, though. He blinked his shock away and chuckled. "Hehe. Nani?"

His brother shook his head, laughing softly. He wore a silk black top and black boxers. "Nothing. Oh, good luck with Megaman, you hentai no chibi." (perverted shrimp - AKA shorty)

Kurohi frowned "Nani?!!" (What did you say?!!)

"Mwahahaha!" Nekome began to run out of the room. He paused and asked, "What night is it?"

Kurohi snorted softly. "Full moon... tonight. Better be careful... Nekome- kun. Make sure you don't scare him, ne?" he chided with a chuckle.

Nekome paled. He dashed down the hall. "Okaachan...? Is tonight the full moon all ready? Please tell me it isn't!!"

"It is, dear!" shouted back his mother.

The boy's gold eyes blinked once, twice, again, and closed one last time as their owner fainted and fell to the floor with a believable thud.

Kurohi rolled his blue eyes. "Get up, faker." [He always does this.]

His brother waited a few seconds, but got no reply. Lan stepped out of the bathroom, and Nekome was on to him in a second. "Hi Lan! W-W-What's up??"

His friend regarded him oddly. What was WITH this boy? "Daijobu ka?" (Are you okay?)

Nekome nodded. "Genki. Boku wa oke, ne?" (Fine. I'm okay, all right?)

Lan nodded once. "Oh, okay. Anything you want to do?"

The owner of the Den nodded. "Sure. I have some games in the other room we can play." He snagged his PET. "Do you have Megaman?"

Lan held up his PET. It was in his hand the whole time. "Yup!"

The golden-eyed one nodded. "Okay! Ikutsu! I have games where you can jack- in and watch Megaman and Kurohi play in an RPG! Not only that, I have a virtual reality system hooked up to it, and we can enter the RPG in with them! Wanna play?"

Lan nodded and started to jack-in his Navi. Nekome did the same. He gave his friend a helmet and put one on himself. He turned on the TV and the system. After it started up, he clicked "easy mode" and "normal chat". He clicked "New Game"... and the virtual reality game began.
