Furi Kuri: FLCL continued
Chapter 2: Growing up to do
Naota (thinking): Yesterday Eri spent the night at my house and the whole time she kept giving me weird looks and wouldn't stop playing around. But her question still bothers me like a child who doesn't understand why he can't be held.
*Flashback*
Eri: You never answered my question….Do you think I'm pretty?
Naota: *looks over a Eri in shock*
Eri: *leans forward towards Naota with a look of serious intensity, lips spreading apart*
Naota: *Frozen in awe of what is happening*
Kamon (from downstairs): NAO…NINAMORI, TIME TO EAT
Naota : *Jumps up from the bed and rushes toward the living room to eat, leaving Ninamori to fall over.*
Eri: ……
::End Flashback::
Naota: Here we go…another horrible day…
Naota rolls over off the bed and lands with a thud on the floor.
Naota: ugh….stupid…ugh
Eri: *Bursts in carrying a tray full of food* Time to eat sleepy
Naota: Why are you so cheerful?
Eri (confused) : I'm always like this
Naota: No your not….
Eri: Yes I am….
Naota: *looks at the tray* What's this…..
Eri: Breakfast….what else would it be?
Naota: (thinking) Poison….drugs….laxatives (out loud ) Laxatives…what's wrong with you, go away
Eri: Fine then, Go hungry…see if I care *storms out*
Naota gets dressed in his usual attire, straps the Gibson and his backpack on; runs out the front door.
Naota: *Realizing that he had forgotten his lunch Naota turns around only to bump into Canti with his lunch in hand* Hey…umm, thanks
Canti: *nods in agreement and flies off*
Naota: *reaches the school building* Why do I come here everyday…. *sighs*
Gaku: *Runs up from behind* Hey Nao!…wait up
Naota: *turns around* Hey…Gaku
Gaku: *stares at Naota in astonishment* PERVERT,PERVERT,PERVERT
Naota: ugh…not again…what now Gaku?
Gaku: Y-you…and Ninamori ?!
Naota: ….*confused*
Gaku: Everyone knows about how she feels
Naota: ….
Gaku: Aw, c'mon…you can't tell me you haven't noticed her staring at you in class..
Naota: ….
Gaku: Well, how come she always goes over to your house on weekends?
Naota: She always comes over when her parents are out of town…
Gaku: Sooo….nothing happened?
Naota: no…
Gaku (sighs): Fine then…..(under breath) clueless…*walks up the school steps *
Naota: (sighs): *walks up the school steps and starts at the door to open it*
Ninamori: *pushes open the door the same time he pulls it and lands in his arms*
Naota: *blushes* ummm
Ninamori: *blushes deeper* umm…I came outside to give you these…
Naota: What?
Ninamori: You left your books on the bed last night
Gaku: *eavesdropping* "On the bed last night"…"Takkun"…*sweat drops* You are a perv…*runs
inside laughing*
Eri: *Straightens up and hands him his books* umm...Here..
Naota: Oh…umm thanks
Eri: *runs off to class*
Naota: *walks to inside to class to see the usual array of kids sprawled across drawing or watching some stupid card game match up*
Just as Naota sits down next to Masashi, the teacher walks in late again.
Naota: Like always…she's l-
Teacher: Late, sorry class…lets begin. Who knows the volume of figure blah?
Eri: *Raises hand* Blah, blah bl-blah
Naota sits and stares into the corner of the wall for the rest of the day, thinking of nothing. When, the day is over the teacher approaches him about being more aware in class and says she will talk to his father more about it this afternoon. When the conference is over Naota rushes out side and takes the slow way over to his house past the bridge he and Mamimi used to hang out at. As Naota is walking he sees a pinkish blur in the distance
Naota: No…It can't be…
Naota cuts through the grass and up the hill to get a better view of the glow. As he got closer he noticed
That a black object was trailing the pink light. Naota sees a bright light shoot from the pink orbs and blow off part of the black object.
Naota twitches and falls the ground in pain; A long guitar neck pops out of his forehead. Naota struggles up and pulls the Reckenbecker out of his head. He runs toward the 2 fighting forces, As he runs, his body starts to glow a bright red light and lifts off of the ground. He rushes through the sky towards the 2 forces
fighting above and with extreme accuracy aims and shoots at the black behemoth. The monster twitches and falls to the ground with an earth shattering thud. Naota, now only a few meters from the pink orb, can see that it is in-fact a much battered Haruko.
Naota: Y-you…I HATE YOU
Naota swing wildly at Haruko with the guitar and misses every swing
Haruko: Takkun, I need your help!
Naota *Still swinging, but with more accuracy on each and every blow*
Haruko: *Ducks and weaves from his swings* Hey…long time, no see?
Naota charges Haruko in mid-air, but she ducks and counters with a 2 hit combo to the back and to the gut. Naota shakes as if his whole body were hit with a case of arthritis and makes one final swing, with the last if his power at Haruko. She takes the full blunt of the blast and is shot downward through a building and into a parking garage. Naota descends downward and sees Eri in the rubble.
Naota: Eri!! *runs over to her* You…
Eri: *coughs up blood* T-the pillar fell over…when S-she was fighting that thing.
Naota: It's OK…I'll have you taken care of by Canti.
Eri: *blacks out*
Naota: CANTIIIII
Just as soon as Naota finishes the last syllable, Canti the robot descends from the sky.
Naota: Thanks.. *picks Eri up and hands her over to Canti*
When Canti flies out of sight Naota sees the shape of an angry Haruko.
Haruko: AHHHHHHH * Runs up the Naota with God-like speed and impales him with the guitar, then pulls him forward and lands a spin kick to his head, knocking him back until he hit's a light post.
Haruko walks up to Naota and picks him up by his hair,
Naota: *blood dribbles down his chin* Y-you….left me all alone *blacks out*
Naota: * wakes up on his bed and hears Haruko talking to herself on the other side of him*
Haruko: Your still a kid Takkun…you have a lot of growing to do *lays down in the bed beside him and places her arms around him in a fetal position*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haruko: TOLD YA I'D BE BACK
Eri (Quietly): Home wrecker…hussy..
Haruko: WHAT was that?
Kamon: Foooooly Coooooly
Naota: Not again…..
Shigekuni: FINISH YOUR GUITAR PRACTICE!!
Naota: SHUT IT , OLD MAN
Haruko: * puts Ninamori in a headlock until she admits to being a hussy* (Struggling): Next time on Furi Kuri : FLCL continued: A Kiss is worth 3 Words
Haruko: Wait….oooh Takkun…is there anything you want to say?
Naota: . Not to you…
Ninamori: H-hussy
Haruko: *squeezes tighter* SHUT IT, GIRLY
