NV: KAITAKA!!!! O
Kuro: this is a pointless argument…. YURITAKA ALL THE WAY!!! =(
NV: OVER MY DEAD CORPSE!!!! XP
Max: ;;; this is so embarrassing…
Kuro: YU-RI-TA-KA!! TT
NV: KAI!!!!
Kuro: YURI! T-T
Max: The reason why they are arguing over this is… wait. That's spoiler information! Also, the character in here would be Kuro. Have fun!
Act 1: Let's form the cast!
At the airport…"So are going to get a ride, or do we have to walk there?"
"Boris… We could always take a taxi."
"I know that. Who's paying?"
"Get your stuff already. I called Kinomiya and he said that we could stay over at his dojo." A male with red hair and icy blue eyes turned to his teammates.
One of them was taller than the first male [1]; he had lavender hair that looked uncombed, and matching eyes. The other was a tall blonde with dark eyes. The two of them picked up their luggage (not much, just one suitcase each) and followed the redhead.
"Say, Ivanov, how did you manage to contact Kinomiya?" the lavender-haired boy asked.
"The phone book."
"Ok, whatever you say…"
At the dojo…No one was blading today. Instead, Kyoujou was trying to figure out how to pick who would be who with the help of his friend.
Her hair was naturally black, but she had died it blue in the front where her hair fell onto her face and covered one eye, red part-way through the back and streaked it purple in the back. She wore half-frame glasses and had one yellow and one red eye.
"So how are we going to choose who is going to be who?" the shorter boy asked.
"They could always draw coloured straws…"
"Good point… But how will they--?"
"Do I look dumb?… Forget that. I'll explain it to them before hand," she said quietly.
"Okay…"
"Hey, Yuri, Boris, Sergei! Why are you just standing there? Come in!" Takao's cheerful voice rang out.
There was a brief pause and a few soft mumbles before the teen led the members of Neoborg to the backyard where the rest of the gang was.
"Ah! This is great! The rest of the crew is here!" The multicoloured-haired girl clasped her hands together and her eyes had an almost devious shine to them.
"And you are?"
"You must be Yuri Ivanov! You can call me Kitsune. I'm the one who got Kyoujou to drag you all here in the first place!" she said quickly.
"Uh… Right…"
"Anyway, now that we have everyone we can begin choosing the parts!"
"Hn."
Kai turned and left.
"Ignore him. He doesn't like this kind of thing!"
"I'll take your word for it, Takao. Anyway," she straightened up, "we are going to decide who will be playing who by drawing straws."
"The different coloured straws represent different roles. For example, the black one is for the Witch. Whoever draws that straw will be the Witch. See? Easy!"
"There's a problem. If you use coloured straws then we can tell which colour we'll pick," Yuri pointed out.
"Are you trying to give me a hard time?"
"Not like you're making it easy."
"Moving on… Only the straw tips are going to be coloured. That way no one will see the which straw has which colour," she paused, "Speaking of which… I have to tell you all what colour is what role…
1 plain = Princess
1 gold = King
1 silver = Queen
1 blue = Prince
1 black = Witch
3 green = fairies
"Then Kyoujou will be the narrator."
"There's only eight…"
"Some of you will have to do dual roles as the Witch's minions and soldiers, so there. Who wants to draw first?"
Kitsune held out the straws in her fist.
"I'll go," Hiromi offered.
She walked up and pulled out a random straw… The tip was coloured black.
"NANI!? That's not fair!"
"One draw per person. Next!"
Slowly everyone drew a straw. Daichi, Max and Rei all drew the green ones, Sergei drew the gold one, Boris drew the silver one (much to Kitsune's amusement), and Yuri drew the blue one (much to the girl's obvious delight).
So obviously, the last person was Takao. Kai decided to come out at this point, saw the poster saying which colour is what and that Yuri had the blue one…
And that Takao was left with the plain one.
"HAHAHAHA!! I won't even need to work one your appearance! HAH! This is so hilarious!" The girl broke into peals of laughter and Takao did a very accurate impression of a tomato.
"It's not funny! This is totally embarrassing…"
"But it makes my life so much easier! I don't have to buy a wig and…" she walked around the unlucky blunette and gave him the once over before continuing with a sinister smile, "you already have a rather feminine form…" [2]
Her smile morphed into an all-out psychotic grin. [3]
"This will be totally fun…"
Takao was getting unnerved.
"Then what about Boris?"
She looked at him then looked at the other boy.
"A veil, make a dress… Nothing special," she shrugged.
Takao stared in shock at the 'vulpine-ish' girl, before she winked at him and walked off.
Kai and Yuri were staring at Takao's face. Hiromi was also looking at Takao wondering what he was going to do next. [4] Takao looked like he was going to burst and go after the girl, but seemed to think better of it and simply said two words.
"Why me?"
"NO CHANGING ROLES. WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU GET! TOO BAD TAKAO!!"
"Ne, it's not that bad…" Max said while patting his friend on the back.
"I'm back!" Kitsune walked back with a bag slung over one shoulder. "Get in a line, I need your sizes for the costumes." She chimed.
Slowly, and a bit reluctantly, they all walked up while she took the measurements for their costumes and made Kyoujou copy down all the sizes.
"Right. My friend, Kitty [5], will have all the scripts done by tomorrow so I'll give them to you all then!"
She waved and left.
Takao watched with disbelief till Daichi spoke up.
"She's right, you know? You do look like a girl." [6]
There was a yell as Takao started chasing Daichi around the garden with a much-abused kendo stick.
Yuri had a sly smile on his face as he watched Takao chase Daichi.
Soon, little Dragon… [7]
[1] My other friend and I agree, Bryan is taller than Tala.
[2] ... what? He does have a feminine form… Just look at the other fics' description of him.
[3] I do grin psychotically when that topic is brought up… ;) what can I say? I'm a freak!
[4] La Dee Da. It would seem Takao has a few admirers.
[5] Krazy Kitty :P. She is my friend, after all she's my classmate in real life.
[6] He does! Also, there's this manga I saw that had a picture of a girl on the cover and the back (you could tell she was a she because of obvious features that guys don't have) and she looked exactly like Takao!!! Down to the hair, eyes and eating habits. XD
[7] Takao's original Chinese name when Beyblade first aired in Korea was Xiao Long, which literally translates to 'Little Dragon'.
Kuro: Hah.
NV: Nooo, Kai should be prince not Yuri!!
