X on Prozac
An X parody by Ap-chan
Warnings: AU, shounen ai, shoujo ai, foul language (mostly from the yumemi), muchly sarcasm
A/N: Yayoi is not "yaoi" with an extra "Y". It's a girl's name, and the third month of the lunar calendar. Though I can see where one might get a bit confused. ^_^ Also, thank you muchly, Bakamegami-sama. I couldn't ask for a more encouraging review on my first chapter. And where would any of this be without you, Li-chan? ^_^
Why is everyone female, you ask? Because, when Destiny went, "Eenie meenie mynie soup," to pick out the players of the Apocalypse in X, they came up with lots of bishounen and generally angsty people. This time, it came up with lots of really odd people, and more than half were girls. Go figure.
I won't be posting for a few weeks, because I'm going to a place where I have no access to the internet, and from there to Japan. See you in a while, everyone!

_______________________________________________________________________
Yayoi continued meandering through Tokyo. There was really nothing better to do at that point. She was, after all, lost. Her mother was dead, and no one knew where she was. She was, to put it bluntly, screwed. Now that she was far away from Shinjuku, her map was nigh-to-useless.
She looked up at the sky, and swung her shoulder pack over to the other side. It never took long for any part of her to get tired.
Suddenly a familiar, and unwelcome, voice sounded behind her.
"Kamui-chan!"
It was Sayuri Monou. Or the Evil One as Yayoi had referred to her in her head when they were younger.
"Kamui-chan! It's been so long!" Sayuri called, running up to her. She was as Yayoi remembered her: cheery, happy, and dumb as a brick wall. Not that the dark haired girl would be anything less than obsessively courteous to her childhood playmate. Yayoi would be the first to admit that she had issues about politeness.
"Hello, Sayuri. Call me Yayoi, please. Where's your sister?" Yayoi said calmly and expressionlessly.
"Oh, Kaoru is still at school finishing something," Sayuri giggled inanely, "Would like to come home with me? I'm cooking!"
Yayoi suddenly lost her appetite.
/Come on/, the blue-green eyed girl reasoned with herself, /You need a place to stay. Kaoru will be here soon to rescue you from the clutches of the Adversary. Just agree./
"...Okay," Yayoi said.
Sayuri nearly jumped, "Oh, good!" The taller girl dragged Yayoi right along with her down the street. "You know," the dumb (you guessed it) blonde remarked off-handedly, "I had a dream that you would come back."
/Oh, God/, Yayoi thought to herself, /I hope to heaven she's not really that obsessed with me./
"It was funny," the blonde said, "Because you looked just like you do now. Which is funny, too, because I would have imagined you with longer hair. And, you know, younger. 'Cause you were younger when I knew you. Like, ya know?"
Yayoi heaved a mental sigh, but showed no reaction outside of mild interest. "Really?" she said.
"Oh, yes!" Sayuri gushed at her, all the while dragging her inside the house. Silently, Yayoi cursed herself for not memorizing the way there.
However, when they got inside, Kaoru was sitting on the floor next to the low table, with her homework spread out around her. She looked up when Sayuri burst in, dragging Yayoi by the wrist behind her. She gave her younger sister a questioning look. Sayuri, as per usual, took no notice whatsoever.
"Look who I found!" Sayuri yelled happily, causing Yayoi to cover one of her ears. Without waiting for an answer, she said, "It's Kamui-chan!"
"Yayoi," Yayoi interjected tiredly.
Ignoring her, Sayuri went on, "I found her wandering down the street and invited her over!"
Yayoi gave her oldest best friend, Kaoru Monou, a desperate, pleading look. Kaoru knew how her sister could be, and got the message well enough to respond.
"Sayuri? Why don't you start dinner? I'm sure Yayoi's hungry. I'll just make sure she's comfortable. How's that?" she smiled warmly at her sister.
Sayuri beamed, "Okay!!" With that, she bounced her way out the door and into the kitchen.
After she had gone, Kaoru looked over at her old friend and gave her a rare smile.
"Sorry," she said, "I know Sayuri's a handful."
Yayoi sighed, "You can say that again. So, how have you been lately?" The young woman made a play at innocence of purpose.
"Uh-huh," Kaoru said flatly, "Right. I'm okay. Let's cut to the chase. What are you doing in Tokyo again? You moved away after the...incident with Mother."
Yayoi laughed sheepishly and said, "Well, you see, it's kinda funny. My P90 broke a while back, so I sent it to the one place around that still carries parts for that old of a computer. I was going to pick it up today, but the shopkeeper said it could take another few weeks for the parts to come in. He suggested that I set up in Tokyo until then, because it could be days or weeks."
Kaoru broke into another smile and said, "And so you come over here to see if your old friends are still around."
"Exactly," Yayoi said.
Kaoru considered for a moment. After all, this is Yayoi, her oldest childhood friend. She could see for herself that her personality hadn't changed much since she was a kid. Still cheery to a certain degree, still smiling, still with that dry sense of humor.
"Sure, what the hell," said Kaoru.
Yayoi suddenly looked like she was about to glomp her. Kaoru braced for the worst, then remembered that this was Yayoi, not Sayuri.
"Thank you, Ka-chan! I love you forever, okay?" The short-haired girl grinned.
Kaoru laughed, "Sure, okay, Yayoi." Suddenly an evil thought struck her. "You know, since you're going to be here for a long time anyway, maybe we should transfer you here. Then you can stay with us forever." The young woman with long black hair with blond on the very ends grinned at her friend in a very disturbing manner, which only served to send Yayoi into fits of giggles.
Thus, it was done. The next day, Kaoru dragged her along to school with her and got her registered. The next thing she knew, she was sitting in homeroom with... Sayuri.
/This day/, she intoned in her own mind, /can't possibly get worse./*
------------------------------------------------
*The readers may now laugh at her ignorance.
-----------------------------------------------
Once again, under the Diet Building...
Tenshi was scowling, as usual. Today, she just happened to be scowling at a few specific people. Namely, Touya and Mayuko.
"Of course it's 'Kamui', you idiot!" She barked at Touya. "Who the hell else would it be?! Gender doesn't matter! And I told you not to come back until you had Kamui! So GET OUT!!!"
With that, the pair of supernaturally inclined individuals fled for their very lives.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sayuri turned toward her with the big grin on her face that told Yayoi that whatever she said was going to be trouble. Suddenly, before the other girl could say a word, Yayoi was bombarded with questions.
"Where did you come from?"
"Shirou Kamui is such a cool name."
Yayoi sighed, "That's Yayoi, if you please."
"Oooo! A girl's nickname!"
"What's your hobby?"
"What's your specialty?"
"What kind of food do you like?"
Finally, it became too much for the poor girl and she ran screaming from the room.
"What was that?"
"I was shocked."
"Maybe he is too shy?"
Did I mention that Yayoi had ended up with a boy's school uniform, due to a shortage of girls' uniforms? Also that she's a bit on the flat side. Perhaps I should have.
When Yayoi finally got out of the building, she had little time to rest. The next thing she knew she was facing one of the guys from the group in the train station yesterday. Not far off was the blue girl.
"Are you really THE 'Kamui'?" The tall young man asked.
Yayoi frowned on him and said, "How many times do I have to tell people this? Legally, I'm Kamui. My name is Yayoi. Nice to meet you."
Touya blinked several times at this, then said, "But is it really THE 'Kamui'?"
Yayoi got irritated finally, after dealing with Sayuri and other airheads. This guy was the last straw. "Why, no, it's Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm! Yes, I'm Kamui! Sorry. And you are…?"
Touya scowled at the girl. "What a little kaijuu," he said.
Yayoi sighed and slumped slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this. You try dealing with Sayuri Monou and see how you come out."
Touya frowned. The girl was, in his opinion, too nice to possibly be the real, honest-to-God (literally) Kamui. /Hmmm.../ Touya thought to himself.
"If you're Kamui," Touya said, in his best approximation of a sly voice, "then prove it."
"Huh?" said Yayoi, confused. Suddenly she found herself dodging to one side. When she looked back, a portion of the wall of the school was gone. "Uh-oh," Yayoi pointed out eloquently. Somehow, she managed to dodge the next one as well.
"I think I'll run now," she said to herself, since Touya wasn't listening, being busy gearing up for another attack. Thus, Yayoi started running away from Touya.
Meanwhile, Mayuko the near-literal Icicle jumped down from the tree, and stood in Yayoi's way in order to stop her from escaping. That was right up until she ran right past Mayuko, Touya hot on her heels.
"AAAAAAHHHH! The bad man is trying to do horrible things to my poor defenseless body!!! AAAAAAHHHH!" Yayoi screamed while she ran around Mayuko in circles, Touya still hot on her tail.
Mayuko sighed and said, "I can't believe I'm seeing this."
Yayoi continued to run, finally breaking the circle and starting for the Togakushi Shrine. Touya fell over, dizzy and feeling slightly ill. "Shshshsheeee'ss the Kaaaaaamui, aaaallrightyyyyy*," Touya said concussedly from his resting spot facing up toward Mayuko, who merely sighed, "Whatever."
-----------------------------------------------------
*Say it out loud! It's fun! Especially the "aaallrightyyyyy"!
----------------------------------------------------
A little bit later, under the Diet Building (again)...
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU COULDN'T GET HER?!?!?!?!?!" Tenshi roared at her servitors.
Mayuko, unruffled as always, merely said, "She is obviously extremely intelligent. She devised an entire strategy to get away from Touya without seeming like she had anything in mind beforehand. She is fast, as well. She dodged his attacks, and got him running around in circles so fast that he fell over from dizziness."
Tenshi looked contemplative through her ever-present cloud of rage. "Interesting," she said, "You say she's that intelligent and powerful?"
"Yes," Mayuko said. "She's also willing to do anything to achieve her ends. She completely swallowed her dignity when she was running around flailing her arms and screaming about how Touya was trying to 'do horrible things to her poor, defenseless body'."
Tenshi blinked, the haze of anger lifting slightly. "She really said that?" the black-haired yumemi asked.
"I kid you not," said Mayuko, "I never kid. You know that."
Tenshi frowned. "Interesting," she said after several moments.
"You know, Tenshi-sama," Mayuko asked off-handedly, "What exactly is your dream?"
"Oh, that's easy," said Tenshi mildly (for once), "To make a long story short, world go boom, Kamui sees me. Kamui is new student. Simple enough, huh?"
"Huh," said Mayuko, "That sucks."
"You're telling me," Tenshi grumbled, "I'm seeing it all the time. It's like a freaking broken record. Worlds explodes… *click* World explodes… *click* World explodes… *click*"
----------------------------------------------------
On the streets near the Togakushi Shrine...
Yayoi suddenly stopped running. She looked around and then said, "Huh. I think my blind panic just saved my own life. Go figure."
She shrugged and started wandering down the street in search of the Togakushi shrine. After all, it wouldn't do to forget where one lived, now would it? Either way, finally, Yayoi managed to find the shrine after only getting lost once.
As she walked in the door, she was greeted by Sayuri, who had decided earlier than Yayoi cared to guess that it would be a good idea to glomp her at the door. "Kamui-chan?" Sayuri said innocently.
"Yayoi," the brunette corrected mechanically.
"Who was that man who was chasing you after school today?" Sayuri asked, oblivious to the other girl's correction.
Yayoi rolled her eyes, then looked at Sayuri and said, "Why?"
Sayuri smiled obliviously, "Because he was cute!"
Yayoi sighed deeply, and peeled Sayuri off her chest. "You know what, Sayu?" she said.
"What Kamui-chan?"
"Yayoi. It's been a long day, so I'm just going to find out from Kaoru where my room is, and I'm going to go to sleep, okay?" Yayoi reassured Sayuri.
"Okay, I- Oh, my God, Kamui-chan!"
"Yayoi. What?"
"Look at your side!" The shocked girl pointed a shaking finger at Yayoi's left side. The brunette looked down to see a rather large gash along her left side. /Probably/, she thought idly to herself, /caused by that wind dude./ It was funny, she had written off the dizzyness following her as coming from running around in circles. /Well/, she thought to herself before passing out from blood loss, /that might have been part of it.../
Thunk.
-----------------------------------------------------
A few hours later...
"It's a good thing you called when you did," the doctor said, "Otherwise, we might not have gotten here in time."
If Yayoi had been awake to hear that, she would have stubbornly pointed out that she was fine.
Sayuri bounced on the balls of her feet, then said, "I'll show you out, Mr. Doctor! I'll be right back, Kaoru!"
With that, she left.
Kaoru, who was sitting on the bed next to Yayoi's prone form, looked down fondly on the other girl. She smiled at her and said, "Injured on your second day in Tokyo. That's sad, Ya-chan. You know," she said to the unconcious body, "Sayuri's dream...May not have been just a dream. She said you destroyed the world in it...I wonder what it means?"
-----------------------------------------------------
Outside the Togakushi shrine...
Kyouichirou sighed, "Great. Just great. All we need are more complications. I just wanted to talk to her, but noooooo...Touya had to go and mess it up. He always was too brash for his own good."
Another face appeared near Kyouichirou.
"Who are you?" he asked tiredly.
"Oh, just a passerby," Kyou, the man in the tree said cheerily next to him.
"In a tree? Are you some sort of pervert?" the boy asked.
"Of course not! Just getting a breath of fresh air!"
"You're a nutter," Kyouichirou pointed out flatly. "At any rate, if you want to talk to Kamui, get in line. I've been trying to talk to her for the last couple of days."
Kyou shrugged, "Oh, carry on, then. Don't mind me."
And with that, the man left.
"Weird," muttered Kyouichirou.

To be continued...(again)
Hee-hee. The first part was just the prologue. This chapter actually gets into the first volume. ^_^

Personality: She's managed to stay a fairly cheery, if a little bit (pretend) cynical, person, in spite of past traumas. She usually deals with things with a cool head, though that might be mostly because, at the moment of the event, she's too confused about what's going on to care. Her sense of humor is dry and sarcastic. She acts worldly, but oftentimes, her innocence about the way the world really is comes out. She has a fear of blood, heights, and flying bugs.

"You're a nutter," Kyouichirou pointed out flatly. "At any rate, if you want to talk to Kamui, get in line. I've been trying to talk to her for the last couple of days."
Kyou shrugged, "Oh, carry on, then. Don't mind me."
And with that, the man left.
"Weird," muttered Kyouichirou.

Motto: "Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it."
Personality: She's managed to stay a fairly cheery, if a little bit (pretend) cynical, person, in spite of past traumas. She usually deals with things with a cool head, though that might be mostly because, at the moment of the event, she's too confused about what's going on to care. Her sense of humor is dry and sarcastic. She acts worldly, but oftentimes, her innocence about the way the world really is comes out. She has a fear of blood, heights, and flying bugs.
