How to Torture Eiri Uesugi
~
Lesson 1: USE THE TITLE, "CHAN"
~
Yuki was very stressed. His deadline was in two days, he had five hundred pages to finish, and his demon-tongued, flame-minded editor was getting very, very peeved to say the least. But she'd have to get over it.
"Eiri..." Tatsuha whined. "You're out of cheese...your refrigerator is chalk-full of..what was that again....?"
Not to mention that his little brother had come for a visit.
"I'm not in the mood for sarcasm right now, Tatsuha..."
The two brothers turned their head to the sound of Yuki's doorbell.
"Get that."
"You'd think an independent novelist such as yourself would have the energy to get his own door."
"I don't have time for this, just get the door."
"No. I wanna beer." With that his brother walked back into the kitchen.
Yuki grumbled under his breath and went to the door.
"Hily-ho~!" Shuichi said as he gave Yuki a hug.
"What are the rest of you doing here?" he asked Shuichi's train of friends.
"Kumagoro wanted to come," Ryuchi said, sticking his stuffed, pink bunny in his face.
"He dragged me," Noriko grumbled.
"I don't know," Hiro said with a shrug.
"Get in...just don't bug me," the blonde said, trying to pry off Shuichi.
After a while of the musicians' conversation, Ryuchi had an announcement to make. "I have a concert in...in...what was that place called, Noriko- Chan?"
"Okinawa...." the girl said, shaking her head.
"I'm going out to get some cheese, Ei....Eikichi...I'll be back..." a very drunk Tatsuha drawled, stumbling out, not even noticing Ryuchi sitting right there. "By the way, you have mail," he grumbled, throwing an envelope on the coffee table and leaving again.
"Uh-huh..." Yuki said, concentrating on his manuscripts again, not even noticing that the door wasn't closed or that there was a letter in front of him.
"Anyway," Ryuchi continued. "I was wondering if you wanted to do a duet with me, Shuichi."
"Sure! Of course why wouldn't--"
"You're really starting to bug me..." Yuki grumbled with a warning tone.
"Hey....how are you?" Tatsuha's voice came from outside. "Eikichi needs some cheese...I haven't seen you in a while. What's up?? Well...I'm off for the cat's moo juice...don't bug 'im, he's got dead...outlines or something. Well, nice talking with ya, ja ne..."
Everyone except Yuki sweat-dropped. "So, what's in it for me?" Hiro asked.
"You can come too, Hiro-Kun," Kumagoro piped up.
After giving the vocalist a strange look, he blinked and looked up.
"What's the matter, Hiro?" Shuichi asked.
"Yuki, who's the chick?" Hiro asked.
"What?"
"There's this really hot chick right behind you."
"Whatever, baka."
"Who is she?" Shuichi whined.
"Wait, she looks like Tatsuha, but with blue hair."
Yuki face-faulted. "Oh no...!"
"ITOKO-CHAN!!" the new girl said, flinging her arms around his neck and placing her feet on his shoulders.
Ryuchi blinked. "That's a very interesting shade of blue. Don't you think, Kumagoro?"
"Oh, yes, Yuki is almost as blue as her long hair," the stuffed animal happily added.
Yuki gasped as his cousin let go and sat next to him. "How is my little Eiri-Chan?" she cooed, pinching his cheeks.
"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly, rubbing his now red face.
"Well," she started. "IlostmyhouseandIfiguredsinceyouremyfavoritecousinyoudletmestayhere..." she said in one word. "So, will you?"
"Slow that down..."
"You've always been my favorite cousin...have I been your favorite cousin...?"
"You're my only cousin!"
"That shouldn't matter! I haven't seen you since you were fourteen..."
"What's your point?"
"I've already got my stuff in the extra room!" she said with a very cheerful smile.
"Fine....you can stay for a while."
"Arigatou, Eiri-Chan!" she said, nearly choking him again. She let go. "Who're your friends?"
"This is Shuichi Shindou," he said, indicating the pink-haired boy.
"Nice to meet you, Shuichi-Chan. Wait. Shuichi Shindou from Bad Luck?!"
Shuichi and Hiro nodded proudly. Noriko covered her face with her hands and sweat-dropped. "And you must be Hiroshi Nakano!"
"Yup!"
"And...I could never remember the girl's name..."
"My name's Noriko..."
"You're the coolest! I have all your albums."
"Who's your favorite?" Shuichi asked.
"It's me isn't it?" Hiro asked.
"No, me! I'm the lead vocalist!"
"You two make a great team, I could never decide between....although, you could do without the girl..."

(AN: I don't like Noriko...)

"Thanks," Noriko said, dripping with sarcasm. "I'm going now..." she growled, going out the door.
"And this is Ryuchi Sakura....I mean Sakuma." Yuki continued.
"Nice to meet you," she said, cheerfully.
"You don't know who he is?" Shuichi asked.
"No..."
"Nittle Grasper....?" Hiro asked.
"Doesn't ring a bell."
"YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIM?!" Hiro and Shuichi screamed.
"That's okay," Ryuchi said with a giggle.
"I feel like I've sinned or something...I mean, someone knows about us but they've never heard of the Graspers..." Shuichi whined, starting to tear up.
"D-don't cry, Shindou-Chan..." Yuki's cousin whined, starting to tear up herself. "When people cry it makes me want to cry too...."
"I'll try not to...." He suddenly perked up. "Wait, you've been here for almost ten minutes and all we know about you is that you're Yuki's cousin and your band preferences. What's your name?"
"Ryuko Uesugi. But everybody calls me Ryu-Chan."
"Hey!" Ryuchi chimed. "That's what everybody calls me, too!"
"Say," Hiro interjected. "You must be Yuki's little cousin, right? How old are you?"
"Twenty-nine..."
Hiro's eyes nearly popped out of his head and his jaw nearly fell to the floor.
"Are you sure?" Shuichi asked. "You look about as old as Mika-San."
"Hai. I remember when you were born Eiri-Chan. You were so cute...what happened?"
Yuki shook his head. "After all these years I still can't believe I'm related to this...."
"You know Mika-San?" Shuichi asked. "Do you know Seguchi-San, too?"
"San...San...?" she asked, trying to figure out exactly what that meant. "No, I'm a daughter."
"Eh?"
"You speak English?!" Ryuchi asked, now perkier than ever. "Do you live in America?" he asked, switching to English.
"Yeah!" she said with a nod.
"Cool! I lived in Los Angeles, where'd you live?"
"Texas. Lots of tornadoes."
"Does anyone understand what they're saying?" Shuichi asked, looking around, confused.
