Disclaimer: We all know that I don't own Saint Seiya or Knights of the Zodiac right?...............Right??? ok, my telepathy is on the fritz today... I don't own them and never have and I am not making any money off of this or else I'd have bought myself a better text program.....* ahem *
Note:Thanks ever so much to those who reviewed ^_^ You're all so kind. And to those looking for the manga, look at the reviews for this story; Frontier Darkness lists both of the places where I got it although I would've love to see the gangs faces after learning about Shun and Hades...Or do they ever find out? I'm still a little confused, but thanks for listing the addresses and helpful info Frontier Darkness. This will most likely be the final chapter for this story because I don't think I can keep Shun on an endless sugar high * sigh * And yes, no one knows where Mr. Jingles comes from or where he goes; I've left that up to your guys' sick and demented thoughts mkay.?. Argh! I've been working on a Shun music vid with vids with awful Spanish subs getting in the way, but I got no way to share it with anyone * ~ * And finally, as always, enjoy the story and bite off the heads of as many chocolate bunnies you can find.
The Chocolate Bunny Incident
Chapter 3:
Seiya screamed from his perch on the ceiling fan as he watched Ikki run out on them when they needed him the most. After all, Shun is HIS brother, Seiya thought to himself. He was glad that Shun hadn't flipped the switch to turn on the fan but hadn't been all too happy about being stuck so high up anyways as he had a bad issue with heights. He tried desperately to free himself with no luck; this had been going on for over six hours now and he had been trapped on the fan for at least an hour. The good thing was that Shun had seemingly forgotten about him and couldn't see him.
Shiryu had decided to go for an unsettling walk along the shore of a nearby lake constantly looking over his shoulder and such. He shuddered to think of losing his lovely locks of hair. It took him about fifty strokes a day with the brush to get his hair as floofy as it always is. Figuring that Shun should be over his little escapade, Shiryu decided to head back to the mansion; plus a full moon was beginning to come out and it always seemed to have an unsettling effect on Ikki that made the wild-haired phoenix knight stare at him oddly so it would be best if he could get to his bedroom before Ikki could catch up with him again. He'd have to make a point of avoiding the bronze knight when he did actually get back to the house.
Shun sat up and whimpered, "Ouchie...That's gonna bruise." Brushing off all the potting soil from his trousers, he pushed himself off his rear end and began to fume in anger that his brother would dare to throw a plant at him... He never dared to throw anything at him before let alone a plant of all things. He picked up the small tubes of lipstick and sparkley mascara and shoved them back in his pockets. He then looked around for the dress he had dropped and proceeded to shake off the dirt from the delicate material before crumpling it into the top half of his trousers. He took a minute to look at Hyoga and Mr. Jingles, both of whom hadn't seemed to be bothered by the flying plant and smiled at his furry companion's handy work. Laughing again, Shun spoke, "Well done my student, I have taught you well. But why doesn't anyone want to play with me? First Shiryu leaves and now Ikki... If you ask me, they're just being rude... eh Mr. Jingles?..."
Hyoga couldn't take much more tickling or drooling from this strange little dog as he had to find a way to get him off so that he could either do something about Shun or get away himself. He slowly concentrated on his cosmos calming his laughter as he thought to himself, That's it! I'll just freeze Mr. Jingles and then when he's out of the way, I can deal with Shun. I'll have to have a talk with Ikki later on responsibility later... His plan seemed like it would work and it did for the most part except for one little detail for as Hyoga sent out a cold wave over his body, Mr. Jingles' tongue had frozen to Hyoga's nose. Purely annoyed and tired at this point, Hyoga stood up and peeled the tongue off his nose forcibly causing the little dog a bit of discomfort.
The next thing Shun was aware of was Mr. Jingles running out the front door with his tail tucked between his legs and yelping a high pitched and yet muffled yelp.
Another sound assaulted his ears as he heard a fairly loud crack of wood and Seiya screaming like a girl and a large thump coming from the living room. But Seiya would have to wait, he had to avenge Mr. Jingles. Shun's emerald colored eyes began to tear up as he glared at Hyoga and hissed, "You hurt my friend and now you must pay."
Hyoga was still a little disoriented from his ordeal with Mr Jingles and frantically wiped at his face to get all the dog slobber off... He hadn't noticed a particular grumbly andromed knight heading right for him with Saori's dress in between his teeth and make up full in hand.
Seiya quickly unraveled himself from the loosened ropes around him. They had been worn down a bit from all his moving and his fall long fall to the ground; a particular incident he didn't ever want to think about again. Merely thinking about how high off the ground he was had been making him want to toss his cookies. But he didn't have time to dwell on such things; with Ikki gone, he had to help Hyoga. Suddenly, he heard the painful yelp of a dog and a few cries from Hyoga as well. Panicked beyond belief, Seiya rushed over to the hall to check on Hyoga but what he saw when he got there was incredibly scary and quite fashionably done as well.
Seiya just stood aghast as he witnessed Shun stepping back to admire his handy work.
Shun was happy with his work for he had finally gotten a little payback against those who thought he looked like a girl. Feeling a little tired now, Shun couldn't feel completely fulfilled and he didn't know why. That is until Seiya ran in and a rather bright smile crossed Shun's fair facial features.
Relaxing a bit, Ikki leaned against a tree near the house. He was relieved that he had been able to get away from all the chaos that was going on inside. Tilting his head back and sighing, Ikki smiled a little realizing that it was a full moon tonight. He absolutely loved the moon when it was full. It was at that moment that he caught sight of a speed walking Shiryu who strangely enough had been covering his face with his hands as though he were hiding from something. Chuckling a little, Ikki swiftly caught up to the dragon knight as he saw the direction Shiryu had been heading in.
Cringing, Shiryu sped up a little hoping that Ikki hadn't seen him but was soon proven wrong. Giving up trying to avoid the knight, Shiryu settled for distracting him with the current issue with Shun. Fidgeting in front of the muscular knight, Shiryu prodded, "So you think Shun's back to normal again? I mean I haven't gone thru this before with him so I don't know how long it's supposed to take."
"Can't say for certain; all we can do is check back in the house and hope for dear life that everything is back to normal." Ikki replied while shrugging his shoulders.
Both of them, now in front of the mansion, turned in unison, walked up to the front door, and quickly opened the front door which was surprisingly closed at this point.
As soon they entered, what they saw would stay etched in their minds for a long time. Seiya was wearing a cooking apron wiping away at the remnants of purple lipstick on his lips while fluttering silver coated sparkly eyelashes.
Hyoga on the other hand was pulling the cursed dress that Shun tried to get him into off and over his head. He too was sporting purple lips and silver eyelashes.
And Shun was comfortably snug all rolled into a tight ball on the couch in the living room snoring away.
Ikki didn't realize that Seiya and Hyoga had seen them come in and didn't know what they had planned for him until it was too late.
Shiryu had noticed Seiya and Hyoga glaring angrily at Ikki ever since they crossed the threshold to the house. Slowly he began to back away as Hyoga and Seiya looked as though they were going to pounce. Getting a little worried, Shiryu spoke in a shaky voice, "I'm going to check on Shun..." as he turned and went into the living room to check on his friend. Shun seemed to be asleep; at least he wasn't moving and his eyes were closed. All he heard from then on was Hyoga yell to Seiya, "Ok now Seiya!" and an assortment of grunts and yells from Ikki. He couldn't imagine what had gone on after he had left but didn't think it could have been very good as he had found Ikki standing outside the house rather than inside with the others. Taking one last look at Shun, Shiryu yawned and walked back into the hallway to find out what had been going on.
There, gripping at a white dress with one hand and shoving Seiya against the stair railing was Ikki who had also been trying to combat Hyoga's attempts at putting lipstick on his lips.
Ikki twisted his head to the side and yelled to no one in particular, "You would've run too! Besides I came back didn't I?!" Eyeing Shiryu and looking for a chance to get away from the two knights, Ikki asked, "So how's Shun doing Shiryu?" This seemed to work as Hyoga and Seiya took notice of Shiryu and stopped what they were doing to hear the news.
Shiryu let out a breath and replied, "He looks like he's sleeping for now. We should probably leave him there for now and since he's sleeping, we should clean up the broken wood on the floor as well as the popcorn and soda seeing as we can probably forget about watching a movie this late at night.."
Three horrified faces stared at Shiryu. Finally, Ikki spoke up, "You left him alone with the soda?!? Soda is just as bad as chocolate especially where caffeine is concerned."
Suddenly, all four of them heard a growing laughter in between popping soda can lids coming from the living room.
None of them were willing to go thru all of this evening's events again and each one of them dropped what they were doing and bolted out the front door past a just arriving Saori and Tatsumi.
Saori looked around confused and questioned aloud, "Hey, is that my lipstick?" as she saw Seiya's, Hyoga's, and Ikki's faces as they ran by. Before entering her home, she thought to herself, hmmph, I wonder what has their feathers all in a ruffle.
* _ * * _ *
And there you have it folks. I'm sure you can imagine all the fun things Shun can do to Saori and Tatsumi while on a sugar high. Oh joy oh joy....I've finally finished downloading the entire first 13 episodes of Saint Seiya Hades and I loved it, I just wish I could get the movies...Hmph, I can't stand foreign subtitles but I'm ignorant like that. I love Mu and oh my gosh, the first time I saw Shun's nightmare, I was lying in my bed in the dark and it scared the crap out of me, but now I'm used to it. I love how he finally gave Tatsumi what he deserved afterwards. Alrighty, please review and try to ignore the incessant ramblings above if you find it irritating in any way.
