"MIAKA! How could you eat at a time like this?!" Miaka, looked up, her face
stuffed.
"I can eat any time, Keisuke."
They were looking for the other seishi. All of them. Miaka, Taka, Mayo, Keisuke, Tetsuya, Yui, Saori, and even Hikari , who was still too young to be left alone. Yui pored over a phone book.
"Here! Ri, Houjun!" she said, pointing to the entry. "9954 Desert Ct... Okay, anyone know where that is?" Everyone looked at her blankly.
"I think Hikari knows," Miaka volunteered cheerfully. No one laughed.
"I think I know where Desert Ct. is," Mayo offered.
"Maybe we should call first?" Taka suggested.
Yui read out the phone number, and Taka dialed it on his cellphone. The group looked at him anxiously as he waited for someone to pick up.
Click! "Hello, you've reached Ryuuen, Houjun and Kouran! Who is this?"
"Uh..." Taka struggled. "It's, uh... It's..."
There was a sigh on the other end of the phone.
"Hikou, for the last time, Kouran isn't here! You call her day and night, and frankly, I'm sick of being her answering machine! You should know by now that she and Houjun are together! Has she ever really paid you any attention? Shouldn't that tell you something? She doesn't want to talk to you! She thinks you're a creepy stalker, and she won't ever even slightly like you! I tell you, someday she'll probably murder you in her bed with that old dagger she has. You're just an annoying little..."
Taka found his voice. "Excuse me? I don't know what on earth you're talking about," he declared.
"...and Kouran really can do much better than..." The voice stopped. "Oh. You're... not Hikou?"
"No, ma'am, I'm not."
The voice on the phone grew dangerous. "Ma'am? I'm a guy!"
"Oh, sorry, sir..." Taka put his hand over the speaker and whispered to the others. "What am I supposed to say?"
There was a long pause.
"Pretend you're a telemarketer?" Saori murmured.
Taka groaned, but then put on his best fake smile. "Sir, would you like to win two tickets to sunny Cancun? We promise that this is real! All you need to do..."
There was a click of the phone hanging up.
"Well," Taka sighed, "it's the right house, all right. And I think Nuriko's there too."
~@^*!*^@~
Tetsuya's car pulled into the driveway at 9954 Desert Ct. Hikari started crying.
"Oh, Hikari!" Miaka cried anxiously. "Don't cry!" She cradled Hikari in her arms. Then she gasped. "Taka!"
"What?!" Taka said, worried. "Is there something wrong?"
"Look at Hikari!" Miaka held Hikari out to Taka, who looked at her and drew in a breath. He reached out and traced the symbols glowing on her chest and knee.
"Yanagi... and sho. Willow and well." He looked up at Miaka. "Nuriko and Chichiri."
Hikari's wails grew louder. "Wahhhhhhh... Wahhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"Oh!" Miaka cradled her again until she quieted down.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a young man walked out. His hair was wrapped up in a bandana. "Bye, guys!" he yelled inside.
A female voice called from inside. "If you see Hikou, kill him for me!"
The man laughed. "Of course!" He turned, and saw everyone getting out of the car. "Oh, are you the new neighbors?" He bowed his head. "It's a pleasure to meet you. But, your driveway is over there."
"Oh, we're just visiting," Mayo assured him.
Hikari cried harder.
"All right," he said, and walked past the car. Soon, he turned the corner and was gone. Hikari's sobs started to die down.
"Look," Yui pointed. "The 'sho' symbol is fading! I wonder why?"
There was a silence.
"Well, let's go," Tetsuya muttered. He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.
"Beware," Taka said softly. "The one with the purple hair IS a guy."
"Coming!" called a cheery voice. The door opened and a head with purple hair poked out. "Who is it?"
Taka, Miaka and Yui (who were the only ones who had actually seen the seishi) stopped in their tracks. Miaka gasped, Taka hid behind Miaka cautiously, and Yui looked at the purple seishi with great interest.
"Oh, hi! Are you the new neighbors?" Ryuuen asked, coming out onto the doorstep. The gang looked at each other.
"We sure are!" Saori piped up. "I'm Saori. This is my best friend Mayo, these are Tetsuya, Keisuke, Miaka, Taka..." She introduced everyone.
"Well, come on in!" Ryuuen said, gesturing them into the house. "Kouran!" she called, "The new neighbors came over to visit!"
Upon hearing the name 'Kouran', Tetsuya's eyes lit up, and he started smoothing back his hair.
"Tetsuyaaaaa!" Yui hissed, whacking him.
"Sorry, Yui," he muttered, annoyed.
Kouran lightly ran in from the kitchen, holding up two shakers filled with white grains.
"Ryuuen, is THIS the sugar, or is THAT the sugar?" she asked, puzzled.
Ryuuen picked up the smaller shaker. "This is the salt, dear, but you can put it in the cookies anyway, if you want."
"Okay!" Kouran said happily. Then she turned to the group. "Oh, hi!" she exclaimed brightly, wiping her hands on her apron. "Nice to meet..." Her eyes narrowed as they landed on Tetsuya. "Don't I know you?"
Tetusya backed away, his hands up, as Ryuuen and Kouran glared at him.
"No! No, you don't know me from anywhere!"
"Hey," Ryuuen glared, "You're that creep hitting on Kouran in the library!"
"Yes, he is a creep, isn't he?" Yui said excitedly. "I'm his girlfriend! Can you believe it?"
"Wow! He's more of a creep than I thought, hitting on another girl like that!" Ryuuen said in wonder.
"I know!" Yui agreed.
Tetsuya cleared his throat. "Maybe I should wait in the car..." he said, edging towards the door.
Taka coughed. "So, um, you're... Ryuuen?"
"Sure am!" Ryuuen proclaimed cheerfully, turning away from Tetsuya. "Ryuuen Chou. Where are you moving here from?"
Everyone fidgeted. "China!" Miaka piped up. Taka elbowed her.
"Really?!" Ryuuen said, interested. "What part of China? My brother lives there! Rokou Chou. Do you know him? I think he's in Xi'an, but..."
"Ryuu-chan, I'm going to go back to my cookies," Kouran interrupted. She ran on tiptoe back into the kitchen.
"So, are you two the only people who live here?" Mayo asked cautiously.
"Oh, no," Ryuuen assured her. "Houjun lives here too. He should be back from his walk soon. Um, I think you'd better try and calm down your daughter..."
Miaka's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, you're right, she's still crying!" She pulled Hikari closer to her. "I'm sorry, mis - uh, sir, she's only a few days old, this is the first time she's been like this since her birth. When she was first born, she cried for what seemed like forever, but Taka's swearing seemed to calm her down..."
Ryuuen cut her off. "I understand. Babies can be difficult."
"Ryuuuuuuuuuuen!" Kouran called, running in again. She held in her hand a bottle of shampoo. "Is this the vanilla? I mean, it's white, and vanilla's white, and it says 'vanilla-scented' on the front..."
"No, honey, that's the shampoo, but if you really want to, you can put it in," Ryuuen said agreeably.
"Okay, thanks!" Kouran said, walking out while opening the shampoo bottle.
"Um, excuse me," Yui said politely to Ryuuen. "Those cookies... Are they." She paused. "Are you..."
"You won't have to eat them," Ryuuen whispered loudly, with a wide smile. "Kouran can't bake to save her life, so when we want to get rid of someone, like, say, Hikou, we offer them a cookie."
Hikari's cries, which no one had thought could possibly get louder, did.
Ryuuen gasped. "What's that on her knee? Is she bleeding?"
Taka glanced at her, took her from Miaka, and traced it with his finger. "Miaka, maybe we should go... This is really getting weird."
The door behind them opened, and in came the man they had seen before. He unwrapped the bandana from his head, and revealed bright blue bangs in front of a buzz cut.
"Oh, hello! Ryuuen, I see you've met the new neighbors..."
A squeal came from the kitchen. "HOUJUN!" Kouran shrieked, sprinting to the door and flinging her arms around his neck. "Missedyoumissedyoumissedyou!"
"I missed you too, Kouran," Houjun said sarcastically, hugging her to show that he didn't mean the sarcasm.
Ryuuen leaned over to whisper to Saori. "When she's like this, you can have all sorts of fun. Watch this." He raised his voice. "Hey, Kouran! 'Gullible' is written on the ceiling!"
"Really?" she gasped, her eyes searching the ceiling. "Where? I don't see it, Ryuu-chan! Ryuu-chan?"
Houjun buried his face in his hands. "Kouran, c'mere, I'll explain it again..." He led her aside to explain Ryuuen's tricks.
Keisuke looked over at Miaka and Taka. "I really, really think we should go, you guys..." he hinted.
"You're right," Taka asserted. "We should go."
As they left, they could hear Kouran's confused voice.
"But, I don't get it! Ryuuen SAID it was written on the ceiling! Why would Ryuuen lie?"
Houjun sighed deeply, and in the background, Ryuuen sniggered.
~@^*!*^@~
Saihitei knew he should've been writing the fifteenth chapter of his novel, but instead, he was looking out the window and dreaming of his beloved.
Oh, Ryuuen! She never noticed him. She never payed attention to any boys, but he was confident that she would fall in love someday. He wondered that she never noticed him trying not to stare her way in class. Her hair was beautiful. He longed to run his fingers through it. And the mole below her eye! On anyone else it would've looked bad, but on Ryuuen it was just cute.
His eyes started to close. Ryuuen...
Saihitei fell asleep on his typewriter.
~@^*!*^@~
There was a knock at the door after they left, and Kouran answered it.
"Hello!" she said cheerily. Then she looked confused. "Who are you?"
"We're the new neighbors!"
~@^*!*^@~
Genrou called the 1,258th meeting of the Anti-Girl's Club to order.
"All right, men! This is an important matter! Just today, I saw..." He shivered. "Not just one woman, but FIVE, walking around freely without men nearby to neutralize their evilness! I even saw two teenagers... FEMALE teenagers, laughing! Seriously!" He looked gravely at his horrified audience. "Their laugh... it was too sweet. They're up to something. I can tell." He sat down slowly in the chair on the podium of the Anti-Girl's Club. "Slave!"
Doukun ran over with a cloth to wipe his forehead and a glass of ice water.
"Thank you. If anyone has any ideas on what to do about this matter, please drop them in the Idea Box, and we'll talk about them next meeting. Now... Personal Dictionary!"
Doukun looked up. "What can I do for you, Mighty Sovereign?"
Genrou frowned. "Sovereign?"
Doukun sighed. "One that exercises supreme, permanent authority, especially in a nation or other governmental unit."
Genrou still looked blank.
"A ruler," Doukun explained. Genrou relaxed.
"All right. Word of the Day?"
"Avid," Doukun said immediately.
Genrou frowned again. "All right. Let me think. I'll get it, I swear."
"This is the tenth time we've had 'avid' as the Word of the Day," Doukun reminded him.
"Yes, I know, Personal Dictionary!" he snapped. "Wait, it's... eager, or... enthusiastic!"
Doukun's face lit up and he reached over to press a large, blue button. Balloons rained down from the ceiling and a banner dropped down that said "CONGRATULATIONS, GENROU!"
Genrou grinned happily. "I got it right! I did! And the sentence..." He concentrated. "I am an AVID girl-hunter!"
"That's right, Genrou!" Doukun said happily.
Genrou's grin grew wider. "Who's the best club?" he said, addressing the other boys.
"The Anti-Girl's Club!" they yelled.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Guards!" Genrou shouted. The guards dragged in a slim figure with long, purple hair. "State your name," Genrou said to her, coldly.
"K-Kourin," she said softly. "I'm looking for my brother, Ryuuen. Ryuuen Chou."
"He's not here," Genrou said in disgust.
She looked distressed. "But I have to tell him... that I remember..."
Genrou was not impressed. "Throw her out!" he ordered.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Guards!" Genrou shouted. The guards dragged in a slim figure with long, purple hair. "State your name," Genrou said to the person, coldly.
The figure looked annoyed. "I'm Ryuuen, and I'm a MAN."
Genrou was startled. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, of course I'm sure!" Ryuuen said irritably. "Look, do you want me to show you?"
"No, that's all right..." Genrou said, still confused. "Why are you here?"
Ryuuen brightened. "I came with gifts of cookies for the Anti-Girl's Club!"
Genrou was happy about that. "Thank you! We're very grateful!"
::A while later::
All the cookies had been finished. Genrou suddenly noticed a list of ingredients in the bottom of the package. He picked it up and read it.
"Shampoo? Salt? Wood? Ground glass? Buttons? Gravel? Bandages?" He continued to read the list and looked around at the dead bodies of the other club members. "Whoops..."
