Chapter 2: First Meetings
Author's Notes on Chapter 2 of the Adventures of SakuraKaze: Okay, I know my title is not very original so until I think of a good one maybe you peoples can give me some ideas and if I use it I will give you credit (I probably will end up keeping the title as is because I'm lazy and it will probably grow on me)! Also, I hope whoever may be reading this fic likes it^_^ I think it's going to be a lot of fun to write! Thanks goes to all (Songwind, Lady Demoonica Darkmoon, SailorKagome, Astrid, Tandi, and Gijinka Renamon) reviewed! I really appreciate it!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or animes (mangas, etc.), organizations or companies mentioned in this story except SakuraKaze because I created her. I'm writing this for myself, and I'm not profiting from writing this so please don't sue! Also since this story is based in Bishonen and Bishoujo, many things are similar (i.e. Bish-balls, Bishie-dex, etc.), and I do not take any credit for their creation.
Now it's story time!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SakuraKaze felt like she was falling, and she couldn't open her eyes to see anything around her. The falling feeling also included a spinning sensation that she thought would be like being flushed down a toilet. In fact the spinning was so strong that as soon as realized her eyes wouldn't open she lost consciousness while still clutching to her pack.
The sky was clear when SK opened her eyes while laying in a field of high grass.
"What happened…?" She asked herself. She thought about the answer to this question a moment or so before she smacked herself on the head and said, "Duh! I'm in the bishounen world because I clicked that link!"
"Wait a sec…I'm...in…the…BISHOUNEN world!" With this realization, she jumped to her feet and tossed her bag on her back all the while looking at her surroundings. To her right sat a forest and to her left were fields like the one she was lying in a moment before. Behind her were more fields and in front of her were even more.
"Okay, so I want to find and catch Sano, Yue, Sesshomaru, Legolas, Haru, Tasuki…Who will I catch first? Whahahaha, Whahahaha!!"
"Enough of that," SK told herself, "I don't have any Bish-balls or a Bishie-dex…and I DON'T even know where I am!" This she confessed to herself and continued talking, "Well, someone should find me soon anyway and take me to the orientation thing, I think…"
With this said she decided to crash where she was since she was always told to stay put and wait until someone found her when she was lost. This was the first time she would get to employ this saying since she didn't get lost often where she was from.
So she sat down next to her bag then searched through the contents until she found her Fruits Basket playing cards. She shuffled them VERY carefully since it was an awfully cool deck of cards. She laid out the cards in the "Las Vegas" solitaire style and started playing.
She hadn't gotten far in the game because she stared at the lovely pictures on the cards, and she wasn't that great at solitaire to begin with, when someone came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. SK jumped straight up into the air scattering all her cards and twisted around to face whoever the person was.
"Hahaha…Opps, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you that bad, but I just had to try it when you were sitting there engrossed in some playing cards. Hahaha!" said a girl with long brown hair that looked emerald green in the sun and her eyes were two different colors: her left eye was emerald green and her right was brown. Both matched her hair perfectly. She was wearing baggie jeans and a T-shirt that said, "What are you staring at on it?" She also looked like she was about one or two inches taller then she really was because of the shoes she was wearing.
"Okay…Well, I just love these cards, but I guess I should pay a little more attention to my surroundings. You really did scare me!" SK said to this new girl still a little shocked that someone came up behind her without her noticing, "Anyway, who are you?"
"Opps…I guess I should have told you that instead of laughing at you…Sorry 'bout that by the way…Well, I'm Astrid Jhonson, I'm 15 and here to take you to the nearest town for orientation," Astrid took a deep breath at this point, "since you're now in the bishounen/bishoujo world where you can catch them with pokeball like things (she pulled one out). See?…"
"Awesome!" SakuraKaze said dazed while she realized her dreams were coming true. She looked at the real Bish-ball, but quickly she snapped out of her dazed state when she recognized where Astrid was going with her speech, "Ah, you don't have to explain all these things to me, I think I know most of it."
"How would you know it already? You just got here, didn't you?" Astrid asked a little confused.
"Well, back on Earth I read a story on fanfiction.net that explained a lot of stuff about this world like you were just about to explain to me, and you sounded like you didn't want to tell me all of this. Have you met other newbies before?"
"Well, no, but other trainers who have met lots of newbies told me of the reactions of most of them: First shock, then denial, and lastly the Super Hyperness/Glomping stage."
"That's probably true, and also probably exaggerated a bit, but I think I've gotten over the shock and denial part which leaves mostly glomping, but I feel I have to ask permission first…" SK said, "I know it's weird, but I'm weird most of the time anyway."
"Okay, that's calms my nerves. I trust that you probably won't suffocate my bishounen…"
"Oh my God!!! I almost forgot! Can I please see your bishounen!!!? I've never EVER seen a real live bishounen before!" SakuraKaze said with enthusiasm and a huge smile plastered on her face.
"Sure, but two things first. One, promise not to glomp them. And two, tell me who you are." Astrid requested.
"I'm sorry. I guess we're both forgetting introductions today. I'm SakuraKaze," she offered her hand to Astrid and they shook hands, "I'm 17 years and blood type B. Great to meet ya! I also promise not to glomp your bishounen without your permission and/or theirs."
"Alright, I'll believe you. It's nice to meet you!" Astrid took from her belt four bish-balls and said, "Time to come out, guys!"
There were four individual loud sounds and large puffs of smoke for each of Astrid's bishounen. Once the dust settled SK could see each of the bishounen clearly and she simply face-faulted.
"Jeez, SakuraKaze!!! Are you alright?" Astrid asked as she tried to help her up.
"Yeh, I think so 'cept now my head hurts. This is the first time I've seen real bishies!!!" SK looked starry eyed as she informed Astrid excitably.
Now that Astrid knew why SK was so shocked, SK quickly got over it and faced the four bishounen. There was a Himura Kenshin that was as cute as could be saying "Oro?" every five seconds because he didn't know who SK was or why he was out of his ball. SK was smiling ear to ear by now. Next to Kenshin was Chichiri. He was wearing his smiling mask and it would only make her happier if he took it off. Then there was a Sesshomaru. Looking very beautiful while standing like a statue and scowling at his trainer and basically everything.
/Where's the other one?/ SK thought because she knew there were supposed to be four bishes so she looked around and around and around…/There!/ By the tree nearest the two girls sat Inu-Yasha wearing his red/pink outfit and his famous prayer beads.
"This is so cool!" SK screamed then walked over to Astrid, whispered something to her, Astrid nodded, and said, "I'm not responsible for the consequences." With this SK hopped over to the Inu-Yasha, kneeled down next to him while filled with an almost uncontrollable happiness and did what any self-respecting fan of Inu-Yasha would do.
She grabbed his "cat ears" to find out if they were truly real. All this SK did before Inu-Yasha could figure out what she was going to do.
"Hay!! What do you think you're doing!!!?" Inu-Yasha questioned hotly as he jumped up.
"Hi Inu-Yasha!!" SK said ignoring him, and then almost to herself said, "So they are real."
SK let go of his ears and skipped back over to Astrid, but not without grabbing Inu-Yasha's hand and dragging him over too.
Astrid just looked blankly at her smiling new friend and starting giggling while she said, "You are weird. When I first got him, I glomped him then tested his ears."
"I know, but aren't most people weird!" SK replied still holding Inu-Yasha's hand, by the way who was trying desperately to get his hand back, but to no avail. Right now if you were to look over to Inu-Yasha's full-demon brother you would be able to see a slight smile coming from him that was really hiding his laughter at Inu-Yasha's humiliation.
"Will you let me go!!?" Inu-Yasha more ordered then asked while SK ignored him and looked at Astrid.
"Will you introduce me to them all, PLEASE?"
"Sure, but could you let go of Inu's hand?" Astrid requested, "It looks like he's none to happy."
SK faced Inu-Yasha and blushed a little embarrassed as she said (while she let go of his hand, of course), "Sorry, Inu-Yasha I forgot I was even holding it!! I was so excited to meet real bishounen!"
Once his hand was free he jumped away from SK to sit next to Kenshin on a convenient boulder that just happened to be there.
"Well, I think you already know…but anyway, this is Inu-Yasha, the half-dog demon from feudal Japan. He's in San stage," She pointed to him then to Kenshin, "This is Himura Kenshin from the Meiji era in Japan—expert swordsperson in the Hiten Mitsurugi Style. He's a Sama. Then this is Chichiri from Konan, specializing in magical attacks and is in his San stage," She pointed at Chichiri then continued, "and lastly, my newest bishounen, Sesshomaru, the full-blooded dog demon half-brother of Inu-Yasha (his doesn't like to admit that) and in Sama stage." At this point she stood between her bishounen and SK, "Guys, this is soon to be newbie trainer SakuraKaze!"
Chichiri and Kenshin politely greeted SK, but the other bishounen showed that they were related by being stubborn and stared at Astrid blankly until she said, "You two better say hello or else…I will let her glomp you…"
So they promptly said in unpracticed unison, "Hello."
"Nice to meet you all! I've always wanted to meet you guys! Wow, this is awesome!! By the way, you don't have to call me SakuraKaze all the time because I know it will probably get annoying so you can just call me SK, Sakura, or Kaze, I guess." SK informed them.
"Well since we all know each other now should we get going to town? I think orientation starts soon," Astrid asked.
"Defiantly! I almost forget that too!! I'm not usually like this," SK said.
"That's alright a lot of newbies are like you at first, but let's get going anyway, okay?"
"You bet!" SK replied.
So she got everything put back neatly in her pack, and they started to walk down a path that Astrid pointed out led to the town.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere else…again and again, I guess…okay, this will from now on and forever be referred to as SEA capitalized.
"One down, 5 million 999 thousand 999 more to go!!! Jeez Louise, I think I'm exaggerating some, but there are still a lot to be brought here and to many to come today," said the MPG (mysterious person with glasses), "So Astrid was sent to find her. Good choice and now I don't have to send anyone. I'm glad that this new system of instant messages when a newbie comes is working. It decreases my work so much, which makes me a happy person! Anyway, who's next? Mwhahaha!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the road again SK, Astrid, Kenshin, Chichiri, Sesshomaru, and Inu-Yasha were walking closer and closer to a medium sized town.
"Umm…Astrid when I go to orientation will you do me a favor and wait for me until it's done since I'll probably will feel really lost, and I'm going to want to trade dex-numbers with you! Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top," SK begged.
"Why not? I'll wait for you, but I'll go get a hotel room for the night after I drop you off since it will probably be getting a bit late to start travelling anyway!"
"That sounds great! Thank you so much!" SK said.
"Hey Astrid," Inu-Yasha called and she looked over at him, "Can I go in that stupid ball before we get to town?"
"Is little Inu-chan scared of all the fan-girls walking around there?" Astrid taunted.
"Feh. I am not. I just don't feel like walking around anymore today!"
"I bet you're lying and really..."
"Fine, I'll stay out of the stupid ball!"
"Okay!" Astrid smiled triumphantly and turned to SK and said quietly, "It's so much fun to annoy him!"
"I'll go in my ball though." Chichiri announced.
"Me too." Kenshin said, "If there's going to be orientation soon then that means lots of newbies and newbies can be well…scary."
"I will as well." Even Sesshomaru said and used the excuse, "I will not be seen with my brother in company."
"Okay, guys. Sounds fine with me." Astrid agreed. Because they were practically on top of town now, she took three balls from her belt and the three bishounen entered them in a flash of light.
"What about me?" Inu-Yasha said.
"Well, you said you were going to stay out of your ball so I'm going to respect that." Astrid was trying to annoy him.
"Feh," this was his only reply as they walked up to the gates of the town entrance.
To be continued…
Thanks for reading and please review! I know Inu-Yasha was picked on a lot in this chapter, but I had to get it out of my system, and don't you think if it was you, you would have checked his ears too? I'll put more people in the fic in the next couple chapters, I think. I'll try to update every one to two weeks, but I'm not promising anything. I'm just going to try really hard to, okay?
If anybody reading this has a question about the bishounen/bishoujo that are in this story and what anime/manga they are from, I'll gladly tell you that and a little bit more about them if you review (I like reviews^_^) and ask about it.
If you're wondering, the SEA and MPG will have more importance in this story later on…I think, anyway!
P.S. I'm worried I might accidentally plagiarize someone, because I might think something is my original idea, but it might actually come from something I've read and I don't realize it. If this happens, please tell me and I'll take whatever it was down and redo it. Thank you!
