Author's Note: Jeez, so I'm finally posting something, eh? Heh. Well,
this is just a small little ditty that I wrote awhile back. I haven't read
through lately, but I don't want to change anything if I don't like it,
especially from so far back. Oh well.
Note on the story - If you've ever been to www.pocket-bishonen.com (no longer existing, I'm afraid), then you would understand this. If you haven't, well, it was a site where you could "catch" bishounen (pretty boys!). I've taken this idea and morphed it into...um, I don't know what to call it, a story with a plot? See Deus Magi's "Melicia's Bishomon Adventures" for more information. I got the idea from her. Take note that the Melicia mentioned here is also actually Deus Magi's character.
Please enjoy~!
"Are you sad, Mr. Piro-san?"
It was a rainy afternoon. 'How typical...' Kankei thought. 'Of course, when I'm in a depressed mood, the weather turns sour. Even though I happen to like the rain...' she drifted off, and thought about her problem.
Kankei's captured bishounen weren't anywhere in sight. They had disappeared sometime before dawn, without her knowledge. Where they had gone, she didn't know, which was the reason she was so upset.
'I can't think of any real reason they would run away...maybe they just didn't like me?' Kankei pondered. She went through her list of six bishounen mentally: Artemis, Ascot, Kenshin Himura, Souzou Sagara, Sanosuke Sagara, and Aki Mikage.
"Where could they have gone...?" she murmured, staring blankly out the rain-drenched window. All of a sudden, Kankei saw someone with bright orange hair running toward the inn she was inside. The individual stuck out a great deal against the dull gray sky. As the person came closer, Kankei realized it was a boy, and by the time he walked in the door, sopping wet, she realized another thing: he was a bishounen!! Not just any bishounen, of course, but one she had longed for – Kyo Sohma. If she could have, Kankei would have caught him right there; but that sort of business wasn't allowed inside the inn, and she didn't have anything to battle him with, anyway.
The inn's common room was packed full that night, and the only empty seat just happened to (very conveniently) be at Kankei's table (which was also very conveniently located right by the fireplace). Kyo looked around a bit, spotted Kankei and the empty chair by her table, and made a face. Kankei smiled and waved to him, and he glanced away, turning red. But, seeing as there were no other seats, he walked over grudgingly and sat down.
"Hi there! My name's Kanjou Sunadokei!!" she said immediately, not giving away that she captured bishounen. "You can call me Kankei for short if you'd like!"
"Er...my name's Kyo Sohma," he replied nervously. Kankei could tell he didn't know what to say.
"Here, scoot over closer to the fire! You must be freezing," she said coaxingly. Her mind, however, was thinking something a tad bit more malicious. 'I ought to get close to him now, so I can capture him later with ease! ...I'm such a genius! Wahahaha!!'
Kyo did as he was told, shivering a bit. The weather had turned for the worse, and the inn was rather chilly.
"I didn't know there were inns around here anymore..." he mumbled in a small attempt to make conversation. Kankei smiled.
'Knowing Kyo and his slightly anti-social personality, I feel pretty special that he started talking first,' the violet-haired girl thought, but showed no outward sign of her twisted and bizarre thoughts. She instead went on to reply.
"Yeah. Ever since people started going on adventures again, they've popped up everywhere," she responded, smiling gently.
They sat in silence for a bit, Kyo trying to warm up, and Kankei watching him intently. The clock rang three times; it was three o'clock in the afternoon (although outside it didn't look it). The clouds had gone from silver-gray to an ominous black, and the rain was falling heavier now. There would be no searching for Kankei's bishounen in this weather.
'My bishounen...' she thought. 'I hope they're okay. I haven't got a clue as to where they went...' Her gaze turned to out the window.
"Why...?" she murmured, causing Kyo to glance at her.
"...So, uh, Sunado-kun..." he started, making Kankei jump and look at him in surprise.
"Oh! My, there's no need for formalities, Kyo-ku-"
In that instant, a persocom came over to the table – Chi.
"Can Chi get you two something to drink?" she asked cheerfully.
'A bishoujo!' thought Kankei furiously. 'I don't collect them, but I think Melicia does occasionally...I'll have to let her know about this! ...'
"Um...I'll have a hot chocolate, please," Kyo replied, staring at Chi's strange ears. Kankei blinked.
"Erm...heated apple cider for me, please."
Chi paused, her eyes going fuzzy for a moment, and then smiled. "Thank you very much! Your orders will be here in a few moments," she stated, and then skipped off.
No more than five seconds after Chi had disappeared, their drinks appeared on the table, placed on a silver tray with a note on it. Kyo picked it up and read it aloud.
"Please enjoy your drinks!
-Chi Motosuwa "
"Yikes! She took Hideki's last name...?" Kankei muttered.
Lucky for Kankei, her companion did not hear her.
Kyo took a sip of his hot chocolate and immediately burned his tongue.
"Ouch!" he cried. Kankei giggled.
"Silly! You have to wait 'til it cools...!"
"I know that!" he responded hotly, some of his normal attitude showing through. Kankei merely smiled gently again.
They sat quietly again for a bit longer, sipping their warm drinks and gazing out the window at the now-steadily falling rain. Kankei abruptly turned to Kyo, and spoke something unexpected in a soft voice.
"...You know what? ...I think we're going to be good friends."
