Chapter 4
Aya's POV
The walk going to the dining room was long and quiet. I kinda like Hotohori though. He reminds me of Ryu. Anyway when we reached the dining table it was packed with all the people earlier. "You guys can just continue eating. I'll introduce you to Aya-chan later. I'm sure she's hungry, aren't you Aya?" he asked. I was kinda hungry. "Yeah." I said in a very timid voice. Maybe Hotohori knows that I have a crush on him. "Hey, Aya-chan! Sit here!!" a red haired guy said pointing to a chair beside him. "Okay." I went there and sat on the chair. It was beside the window and in front of the blond girl who had welcomed me earlier. Hotohori sat at the far end of the table and beside Miaka who was pigging out. "Hi! I'm Yui!!" the blonde said while offering a handshake. I shook her hand and said, "Pleasure to meet you." The red haired guy tapped me on the shoulder and said, "And I'm Tasuki and that's Chichiri," while pointing at the blue haired guy in front of him. "Hi," he said and waved. "Nice to meet you," I said to them both and smiled one of those smiles that Kasumi does and I forget all my troubles. It had no effect on the Chichiri probably because has a girlfriend who is probably Yui. But I saw Tasuki blush a bit. I looked at Miaka and Hotohori. Apparently Miaka was choking on a carrot. "Ummm.. Aren't we supposed to help her?" I asked Yui. "What? Of course not! This always happens! Miaka doesn't cut her food well. She just chomps it down in one bite! Daijoubu!" Yui said with a smile. Miaka got her glass and gulped it in one go. "Miaka, you should cut your food into smaller pieces," Hotohori said in a very concern voice. "Don't worry, Hotohori!!! I feel better than ever! But, I would feel better if you kiss me," she said in a low voice while tickling his chin. Hotohori smiled and kissed her on the lips. It wasn't a French kiss or anything like that. He just kissed her lips. "Are they?" I asked Yui. "Yup! They're married and have triplets!" she said spooning a vegetable. So they're married. But why did Hotohori act like that? I recalled what he said "I meant it when I said you look good." Why did I allow myself to fall for him? It's not like I said I love you but still. Ryu where are you when I need you? I looked outside the window and to my surprise I saw Ryu!!! What was he doing here? And why isn't he a woman? I stood from the chair and ran to the garden. It was weird though. I was in heels and I didn't trip while running. I didn't know the way to the garden but I found my way there. When I arrived there, Ryu caught sight of me. "Kasumi, where am I?" he asked. He looked so cute in what he was wearing. I came near him and said, "How did you get here?" Not bothering to answer his question. "I wanted to go to where Hayate was, but it seems that he's not here," he answered looking directly at me. "Ryu. Would you believe me if I said that I was Hayate?" I asked him. He stared at me like I was crazy. He put his hand on my forehead and asked, "Are you alright Kasumi?" "Of course I'm alright!! Please Ryu you have to believe me!! As me anything that only Hayate knows!!!" I pleaded to him. "Fine, what's my favorite things to do?" he asked. "Mountain climbing and fishing!! See! I answered it correct!!!" "Hmmm. Everyone knows that." he said with a smile. "Ryu, it's me!!" I said to him, praying that he would believe. He looked at me for a while. I had this strange feeling that his time here was limited. I had to think of a way that would convince him. Ryu knew that I sucked (sucked as in bad at, not sucked as in suck) in kissing. It was the only way I could think of. I put my arms around his neck and kissed him full on the lips. (saan pa kaya 'yun nangyari? /where else has it happened?/) I knew that he was surprised to be kissed all of a sudden. But I guess to him it was natural since he thinks I'm Kasumi, and they are a couple. I felt a little jealous. He didn't respond at first, and then he kissed back. He probably still thinks I'm Kasumi. Why won't he believe me? I felt disappointed. But the kiss was good.
Ryu's POV
Hayate? I'm sure that this is Hayate. Kasumi kisses a lot better than this. (playboy.) But what was Hayate doing in Kasumi's body? And more importantly what is Hayate doing here? Wherever here was. I kissed him back. I should enjoy this now, even though he's in another body but Hayate in another body is still Hayate, because I don't know when I can kiss him again. If ever we do have relationship, I should teach him how to kiss. (perfectionist) If I can teach him the Izuna-Otoshi, (DOA3 move - the very hard combo throw he does when he throws the enemy in the air and goes up in the air and they both fall to the ground. Ryu taught it to Hayate for fun!) I can teach him how to kiss. Before I can pull back I felt as if I'm being pulled somewhere. Just like when I came here. I saw a blue light and I found myself in my bathtub with a naked Hitomi taking a bath. "R-ryu!! W-wh-what are you doing here!!!!" she stammered and turned away. "Sorry Hitomi! I didn't mean to barge in!!! I'll go now!!" I said and got out of the tub. I was soaking wet. How did I get here anyway? I didn't teleport of anything!!! That was weird!!! I went out of the bathroom and went to my room to change. While I was changing I was thinking about that kiss. I touched my lips. Hmmm. But in a way his kiss was satisfying enough.
Author's Notes: I'm so sorry to Tamahome fans out there!!!! A certain someone asked my to the fic which is the prequel to this fic and is a Hotohori fan and asked me to do a Hotohori/Miaka fic!! But I also do like the H/M pairing and I am also a not Tamahome fan!!!!
Aya's POV
I expected to see Ryu when I opened my eyes but instead I saw some blue haired freak. I backed up in alarm and surprise and backed into someone. I looked up and saw Hotohori. Dammit!!! I'm so small!! I mean I looked up!!! I'm just probably 5'2" while he's 6' something!! "Seiryuu, what are you doing here?" Hotohori asked the blue haired guy. I walked a few inches from Hotohori. What am I, in pain? Pain because I liked him and he has a wife and kids. I can't understand myself!!! Is this how frail a woman's emotions are? Or is this really how my emotions are? "Is something wrong, Aya?" Seiryuu asked me. He probably sensed by distress. "No, nothing." I lied. "It's about a certain ruling figure isn't it?" he asked. How the hell does he know?!!!! "What are you saying?" I asked in panic. What will Hotohori know if he finds out? What will Miaka do? "It's pretty obvious. And back to your question Hotohori, I'm here because I wanted to see Aya and because I have a little gift to give you." "What gift?" Hotohori asked. "Yes. But I'll tell you a little later. When all of you are together." There was silence after that. Anyway Seiryuu stared at Hotohori. Sending him thoughts? Is he possible of doing that? Anyway Hotohori blushed and looked down. I didn't know what had happened. "I'll go back to the room." I said and left. Why did I say that? I left the two men alone. When I finally arrived at my room, I remembered about the present that Lei gave. I took my high-heels off and jumped on the bed where my bag was. I got the present and lied down on my tummy. "I wonder what is it?" I said to myself. I opened it and it was a navy blue spaghetti strapped top and a red bikini bottom (Sparrow in DOAXBV). On the left side of the top it said, 'You meet DOAX' and on the right side it had two strawberries. On the right side of the bottom part it had a cherry! "Kawaii!!" I squealed and hugged it. Then a thought entered my mind. Where did Lei-Fang get this? And also this black nightgown and the red lacy lingerie that Kasumi has? Maybe I should ask Kasumi when I get back.
Hotohori's POV (kekekekekeke!!! My favorite point of view!!!!)
Seiryuu sucks at making jokes!!!! How can he joke that Aya has a crush on me?! I just said she looked good and now she has a crush on me!!!! Maybe it's my irresistible charm!! (.may naaalala ako..) Maybe is should talk to her. I passed by her room. She left the door open or the wind (a very important part of the damn story!!!!) blew it open. I looked inside and saw her sitting on the bed, hugging some piece of clothing. She does look cute. Suddenly she started sobbing. What happened? She said something but the thing she was hugging muffled it so I couldn't hear anything. Maybe I should just talk to her later. Anyway I went back to the dining room and everyone was done. "What happened to Aya? Who was that guy she was with?" Miaka asked. "I don't know. She's in her room. She probably needs time to think.." I answered. Suddenly a blue light came out of nowhere and Seiryuu came out. "Seiryuu, what are you doing here?" Yui asked. "Hasn't Hotohori told you? I'm here to see Aya who is practically crying like crazy and to give you a little gift." he said to her. "What? Why is Aya crying?" Miaka asked him. "Well, because of a certain high positioned fellow." he said eyeing me. Miaka had no idea of what he was talking about. Or she was probably faking it. One way or the other she didn't ask anymore questions. "So, what about that gift you were talking about?" I asked him. "Well, Hotohori, do you still remember Tomo's magical Tree of Lemons of Lust and Homosexuality? (it's in my other fic. Anyway if you drink the lemonade made from it, and you wake up in front of someone it will make you fall deeply in love with him/her regardless of his/hers sex) Anyway I decided that I should make all it's magical properties disappear!! Even of the lemonade that was drank before! But if the two people really do love each other, it will have no effect. And all of you, as in the Suzaku, Byakko, Genbu and my seishi should stay here, in the Konan palace, for the whole seven weeks of Aya's stay. After all, it's you who want the wishes. Don't worry, Hotohori. Your expenses will be our concern," he said to me. Well, that's good! I don't want to spend for more than 40 people!!! Wait did he say that he was going to reduce the effects of the Lemons to nothing? But the reason why Miaka is with me is because of those Lemons? What if she doesn't really love me?!!! What will happen now!!!!??? Seiryuu smiled at me and continued, "And for that little gift of Aya, I'll just give it to her when she feels better. Who knows what might happen if I give it now?" Sex? Was Seiryuu going to bed Aya? Was that his little gift?! Before I could say anything, he glowed a familiar blue light. Everything became blue then the light disappeared together with Seiryuu. When I was back to my senses, I looked Miaka. She still looked the same, but does she still love me? "Miaka..." I started to say. "Don't worry Hotohori!!! I still love you," she said and stood beside me. I was filled with excitement! Because of my happiness I kissed her passionately. Exploring her mouth with my tongue. She's so sweet. I'm so happy to have her as my wife. My one and only. It was so good until someone interrupted us. "Hey! What are you doing with Miaka?!!!" Tamahome said with fury. I forgot.. Before I let him drink the lemonade, he was in love with Miaka. (just to add, in my other fic Tamahome and Nakago are married because Tamahome was under the magic of the Lemons of Lust and Homosexuality and Nakago likes him!!!) "Don't you know Tamahome, I'm married to Miaka and you're married to Nakago," I taunted. "What? Me married to a guy? That's impossible? It's Miaka who I love and seeing you with Miaka is an eyesore," he said. He probably doesn't remember. "If we're going to settle this, let's settle this with a fight!" he said and getting into his fighting stance. "No, Tamahome don't do that," Miaka pleaded to him. "Miaka stay out of this!" he said and pushed her. Asshole!!!!! How dare he touch my Miaka like that!!! She bumped into Aya. "Aya." Miaka said. "Hotohori, is it okay if I have one extra friend for one day staying over?" she asked completely ignoring Miaka. "Yeah, I don't mind. Why?" I asked her. "Nothing. Bye! I have something to do!!" she said and left, leaving me in complete puzzlement.
