Hiya Minna-San! Yuki here! Normally Shrenee-chan would be writing this but she was a little afraid of facing you all especially after not updating for almost two weeks now. So I'm here to do all the preliminary crap for the fic. First and foremost I have to tell you that this is not a chapter that really moves the story along. It's merely a filler chapter for the plot that will be introduced in the next chapter. It's actually pretty funny ( at least to me it is) so you should read it anyway. Okay well that's about it. Ummmmm, I think I have to move on to the disclaimer now.
. Disclaimer: Yami no Matsuei does not belong to Shrenee. It also does not belong to me. I did not create the universe; I merely live in it. Don't sue me please. If anyone you should sue Shrenee, she wrote the story anyways. Then again, if you sue her I will not be able to exist anymore. That wouldn't be cool. Therefore you must refrain from suing. It's okay; Lawyers Anonymous will take you in. They can help you.
Yay! Now I get to thank the reviewers! That's the best part! Here we go!
Of course I'd like to thank all past reviewers! You're reviews are cherished! Especially the ones on how cute I am. I love you all sniff
And for the newest reviews:
Muraki Asato: Mehehehehehhheheh! Confused, ne?! That's the point. Weheheheh my job is done!
Ghost Whisper: Shrenee cried when she read yours, such a nice review! I am a cute character though aren't I? Well the resemblance between me and Tsuzuki was intentional, although I don't think I was supposed to say that... Anywho, Muraki is sickeningly sweet... I do wonder about that, I have this feeling he's not telling me something. I don't like that. Yup, yup, the rest of the cast will be here soon. I can't wait cause the scene where Hisoka and I meet is so funny because gets hit over the head by some item that no one saw coming ( Shrenee: Meheh he heh.I)
Mayu Kawaii: after a few dazed seconds Yay! Muraki is cool and so is Oriya-chan. However, hitting people with fans is gets hit with fan ( Shrenee: It wasn't me)
Dream-eater-is-hungry: Hai hai, her paragraphing is bad, I want people to know when I'm talking. Sankyou for the compliment though, I hope you continue to read as well.
Yay! That was fun, I want to do it again. That means I need more reviews! More for Yuki! Ja for now!
Shrenee: With all that said, please enjoy!
Frozen Chances
It Wasn't That Big A Deal To Me!
It was early in the morning when Muraki woke. Vaguely missing the warmth he was sure had been there not too long ago. He lay there for a little while. Halfway between sleep and consciousness. How long had it been since he'd slept? It seemed like years almost. Why exactly had he fallen asleep now? He smirked thinking back over the last night. He was really starting to hate Yuki.
"Wake up, Muraki-chan, Muraki! Wake up Muraki!"
Muraki woke groggily, partially opening his eyes, and looked at Yuki not answering him. His face was grim and he looked as if he were still half-asleep. He narrowed his eyes before leaning over to turn on his lamp. "What are you doing in my room?" He asked darkly. Yuki frowned. "I had a bad dream." He stated biting his lip. Muraki raised an eyebrow as he noticed the boy had his blankets and a pillow with him. He frowned narrowing his eyes. " Forget it." He said rolling over and covering his head.
Yuki sniffed sadly trying to hold back his chibi tears. "But Muki-Sensei!" he protested his eyes growing wide and imploring. Even without turning around Muraki could feel the boy's "chibi-energies" working against him.
"Get out of my room." He said, feeling to lazy to get up and physically remove the boy. "Why is he in here this early in the morning? I could get rid of him if it were later." He thought, slightly agitated.
"Just let me stay, please?" Yuki asked "Muki-chan?"
Muraki shivered with repressed rage. "Don't call me 'chan,' it's degrading." He said exercising his patience.
"Okay Muki-kun, as long as you let me stay!" Yuki agreed.
"Don't drool on my covers." Muraki relented. Yuki squealed in delight and, despite his previous anger at the boy, Muraki smirked. His smirk was cut short though as a certain bouncy bundle jumped on the lump that was Muraki. He "ummfed" before settling into a glare at his young ward.
It was about an hour or so before Muraki decided to make himself get out of bed and get ready for the day. He wasn't going out to his work today, seeing as he took today, Friday, and the rest of the weekend off to go on a trip that a certain pink haired nuisance and a brown haired pain had planned out without him. Still he didn't mind getting some unofficial work done, since he had the time.
He was surprised to find the house empty and void of all things Yuki, after he took his shower and went downstairs to make coffee. He contemplated jumping for joy before dismissing the thought as being too out of character. He decided he might as well get to work while a part of his mind wondered where the boy could be.
Unfortunately and fortunately for him the peace that was formally named 'silence' did not last long. As the echo of a slammed door and the humming of a horrible pop tune made it's way through the house. It was less then thirty minutes later when he heard a sink and then a loud clang of glass that had fallen but hadn't shattered followed by a string of curses. He paused from his work before shaking off his scowl.
The was another moment of silence before he heard the blaring of the radio and he grate his teeth as he heard the quick shushing noises of Yuki telling the speakers to be quiet. It was about another thirty or forty minutes of odd happenings going on downstairs before Muraki decided to go down and check what the hell was going on!
As he set down his work on the desk of his makeshift office the door to the said office opened and a pink haired grey-eyed boy bounded in, as bouncy as a ball of fluff.
"Morning Uncle!" Yuki stated with all the spunk of a kid at Christmas. In his hands he held a tray of breakfast. "Ne, Muraki! Stop with the work! I thought you were in bed! Oy, oy! C'mon now! Breakfast time!" He beamed setting the tray down on Muraki's desk.
"Not now Yuki, I'm busy." Muraki stated distractedly. Yuki rolled his eyes playfully tugging on Muraki's papers to get his attention. "Nope. No paperwork on an empty stomach. It makes Muraki-uncle a very grumpy person." Smiling lightly Muraki rolled his eyes and placed his head in his hands as Yuki began to present his breakfast. "Here you go Muraki! A happy face to make you smile!" He pushed the tray towards his uncle waving his hand over the mulberry pancakes with bacon for a smile, eggs for hair and hash browns for eyebrows, with whipped cream for eyes. As an afterthought he had added butter for a nose but it had already started melting making it look runny.
"A happy face? How western, and very cleshe don't you think?" Muraki asked, quite amused with the display. Yuki frowned then took the bacon and turned it upside down. "I always find it easier to eat when my food's not expecting to have a good day." He explained. Muraki raised an eyebrow. "You're weird." He said good-naturedly. Correctly assuming Muraki's next choice of words Yuki made sure he said such in unison before adding, "Jinx." He smiled sugary sweet. "Now eat your food with no complaint. Not that you can complain. Cause you can't talk!" Yuki ended his insane speech with maniacal laughter. After he stopped laughing they sat in silence before he slid the tray over to Muraki.
"Ne, Muraki. I got a letter that said I'd be kicked out of school if I didn't go. Can I just drop out?" Muraki raised an eyebrow and opened his moth to say something before Yuki smiled and he rolled his eyes. He shut his mouth motioning for the boy to go on. "Okay, what about this. Muraki. I was planning on going out with a couple of friends after we go to the Beach with Oriya-chan. Can we go to Tokyo?" Muraki seemed to think this over. "And lastly, Muraki, can I go buy a new outfit? All of my old clothes are…boring." Muraki thought over the requests, then spoke. "No." He said plainly, answering the first question.
"Yes, and no." He finished answering the last two questions. Yuki nodded. "One out of three, that's not bad!"
Muraki began to rearrange his plate. "That's a first." He stated blankly. Yuki shrugged.
"Well, I'll be kicked out of school, one way or another, and you just gave me permission to wear my own clothes." He explained smiling brightly. Muraki shrugged. "No cleavage." He ordered. Yuki smirked. "Ha ha, very funny. It's all about the stomach anyway." Yuki lifted his shirt slightly to examine his navel. "I'm thinking of getting it pierced." He told.
"Keep thinking." Muraki answered and Yuki frowned.
"But I want to get it pierced."
"It's good to want things."
"But I think it would look cool." Yuki began to whine looking over to Muraki while biting his lip. Muraki looked up to Yuki then back down to his tray. "What does that have to do with the price of eggs in China?" He asked boredly.
"Everything!" Yuki quipped loudly.
"Enlighten me." Muraki asked wondering if he really wanted to know.
"Well, if you think about it chickens need to mate to make eggs. I'm quite sure the rooster does something to make himself attractive for the hens, so that he can be the one to fertilize her eggs. You know, something like getting his belly button pierced. And if the rooster doesn't fertilize the eggs, then there will be no more hens to lay them and the Chinese will have no more eggs to sell making them have to import eggs, and then the price of the eggs will shoot up." Muraki began to zone out in the middle of Yuki's 'explanation.' Unfortunately his thoughts were filled with dancing chickens and roosters with their feathers pierced. " Making the economy in China very bad. And that's never good." Yuki finished with a triumphant smile.
"Yuki," Muraki began.
"Hai, Sensei?"
"You're telling me you want to get your belly button pierced because you want to reproduce produce?" Yuki went into a giggling fit at Muraki's statement. "Don't be silly Sensei-kun! I want to get it pierced because I think it's cool. Not to get someone in bed and defy the laws of whatever says a mammal can't lay eggs. Besides, I can get people in bed on my own." Muraki watched, somewhat amused as Yuki giggled himself off the desk. "Ow!" Yuki exclaimed after hitting the ground with a thud.
"I suggest not doing that again." Muraki advised before finishing the meal. Yuki muttered something as he stood and rubbed his butt.
Muraki reveled in the silence as Yuki left the room for awhile. When he returned to the room he had changed out of his earlier outfit and now wore a black tank top that barely covered the bottom of his stomach. It had the words "DIE BITCH " written in bright red letters that seemed to be dripping like blood. He also had low rider jeans on. He placed his hands on the hips. "See, I need something to dress up my abdomen." He said showing off his bare stomach. "How about a longer shirt and jeans made for 'guys'"
Yuki pulled a face, "Have you ever seen Will and Grace? When Will came back from France and everyone was talking about his jeans? These are made for guys." He said sticking his tongue out before retaking his seat on Muraki's desk.
"What time is it?" Muraki asked returning to his work.
Yuki checked his watch before picking up a grapefruit off of Muraki's tray. "Not even twelve yet." He said then smirked deviously. "Why? Stressin' over Oriya-chan's arrival?"
Muraki decided not to answer that.
Yuki picked up the cutting knife and began to peel his fruit. "You shouldn't peel with that." Muraki said not looking up from his work.
"It's no big deal. If I cut myself Mother taught me how to heal using the environment." Muraki looked up. "Did she now?"
"Yeah, no big deal." Muraki shrugged logging another piece of useful information away.
T.B.C.
To all of Shrenee's readers,
Yuki will not beg for reviews! He is too good for that. However, He will ask this; Shrenee needs a little help in planning. So if you will, when you review, please either put in the word MOTHER or the word DNA. This is very important, so if you will review please add one of those. Thank you for reading and please coming again.
PS: Since summer break is coming shortly, the more reviews the more likely for faster updates. Just letting you know.
Jaa ne!
Yuki .
