Furi Kuri: FLCL
Chapter 4: Photo Shoot
"…..The only thing worse then death is being forgotten……"
Naota sprang up from his bed unto a sitting up position in a marinating pool of cold sweat that was caused by the liters of body fluids leaking from every pore in his body. The relief passed over like a brisk breeze on a fresh summer morning; The kind of feeling your body gets after a nerve-racking, adrenaline pumping, ass-kicking, mind-numbing torture of a quiz that most hormonally challenged teens go through everyday.
Naota: Whew…just a dream… looks around the room with a blank expression
Naota gets up and performs the regular morning hygiene tasks that a young man such as himself would do before breakfast . After he finishes in the bathroom his hears a knocking downstairs at the bakery door and stumbles down the steps and into the bakery with an annoyed air about him.
Naota: Customers…this early?
Sajime Mamimi stands outside of the bakery owned by the Nandaba family of Mabase and pounds on the door with her camera clenched in hand. "He'd better answer his door….TA-KUUUN", She says to herself.
Nandaba Naota was standing in front of his door, examining the stranger outside of the door shouting something he couldn't make sense of…
Naota: Is it…stares into the wall with the intensity of the sun Is it really her…was the letter for real…
Naota reaches his hand out to the doorknob when he hears a shout from outside that could have shattered glass.
Mamimi: TA-KUN! OPEN THE DOOR THIS INSTANT!
Naota: cracks the door open a bit (peacefully) Mamimi…
Mamimi: (eyes wider) Ta-kun, you're not the little boy you were when I left…
Naota: I told you not to call me that…MY name is Naota…
Mamimi: Wait…isn't Naota-kun still Ta-kun..?
Naota (sighs): Yes, Mamimi…
Mamimi: Lets go Ta-kun, I need to get more pictures!
Naota: Of?
Mamimi: Of you, those pictures I took of you and the fire god sold big in America and I need some more or I can't go back!
Naota: So…you flew all the way from America for money…?
Mamimi: Aww…Ta-kun…I missed you too..
Naota: But I haven't seen you since… since-
Mamimi: - Since something amazing happened…
Naota: Mamimi…
Mamimi: Come on, we have to go anyway, grab your guitars and lets go!
Naota grabs both his Reckenbecker and Gibson SG from the pile while leaving his new Epiphone in the house for practice that later afternoon with Ms. Kishimoto and Shigekuni-san watching. Mamimi grabs Naota and drags him all over town, taking pictures for her photo catalog and revisiting old places and pointing out new things, after all, It had been over 6 months since she had been there. Naota had hoped to talk to Mamimi on a personal level but never got the chance throughout the whole day around town.
Naota: (out of breath) We should really stop and take a break [huff, huff]
Mamimi: Come on , lazy, we really have to go take more pictures. The mall is just over there so double-time and let's hoof it!
Naota: (under breath) Slave driver!
Mamimi: What was that soldier?! (stops and glances over with a goofy look of trying to be serious)
Naota: Nothing ma'am ! snickers
Mamimi: That's what I thought! doubles over with laughter
(Naota thinking)
I never remember her being so happy or us being able to joke like this before. I guess when you're on the outside looking in, you can laugh and lead a regular life; I guess that's what it's like for Mamimi….on the other side. I guess I should be happy, but instead it's the " Grass is greener" situation in this case. I mean, look at her… I've only seen her this happy once…with my stupid, older brother, Tasuke.
Mamimi: You know…After I got back to America...I went to see Tasuke at one of his baseball games…
Naota: (eyes sink down to the floor) You didn't see -
Mamimi: (finishes) - Her, Yes, I did…
Naota: I'm sorry…I should have said something
Mamimi: You did, I just didn't want to listen…
::Flashback::
Mamimi waits eagerly outside of the stadium for Tasuke to come out so she can talk to him. An entire mob of people come out and push her out of the way to see HIM. The minute he walked out she jumped from over the velvet rope and jumped into his arms, expecting a loving reaction from him but got a shove followed-up with security dragging her out kicking and screaming in wretched sorrow over Tasuke. "No, Noooo, I love you forever Tasuke " , screamed Mamimi at her love who shunned her and walked away with the new girl on his arm.
::End Flashback::
Mamimi: (sighs) Maybe it's my fault…If I'd supported him more…
Naota: No…it's not your fault…
Mamimi: leans in closer to Naota You're not a little boy anymore Ta-kun…your 14 now…
Naota: (So much has changed..) [thinking]
Mamimi: You're a man.. closes her eyes and leans close enough for her lips to graze over his
Just when they were about to kiss, An explosion of dirt and gravel blows them away into the river. A huge metallic dragon bursts out of the huge crater and sways from side to side above them, maliciously. It was of Chinese origin , around 75ft in length, metallic green with white stripes and slick scales, It had four arms and long spikes down it's back. The dragon flew up into the air and plunged down into the ground near them and made the ground tremble as he burrowed deeper into the earth.
Naota had Mamimi run and hide amongst the trees while he did battle with the fire-breathing beast. The dragon would plunge into the ground and pop out right under Naota and try to swallow him, but he would jump out of the way or avoid it entirely. Eventually, Naota got tired out running around and turned to run over and get his Gibson to only trip and fall face first. Like a button, Naota's N.O. gate popped open and out shot out his Epiphone when he hit the hard ground. He stumbled about for a bit to get his balance back from the closing gate, After doing so, he rushed towards the metallic monster and takes a desperate leap at it but falls short and is slammed into the wall of a building with a giant claw. The dragon then shot out multiple tendrils that wrapped all around his body and begin to shock his with every move that he makes. Being constricted with electric tendrils Naota's eyes turn a deep shade of red and his whole body starts to glow. The surrounding tendrils arm de-materialized and the red energy starts to expand and destroys anything in it's path. Naota screams in pain as energy field surrounding him expands o twice the size it was 2 minutes ago. He descends down to the ground and automatically launches himself up into the air as soon as he hit the ground. The big red orb of energy tears through the dragon like a piece of paper and leaves a torrent of metallic parts and oil everywhere. Naota slowly declines downward to the sidewalk and loses his red aura, but his eyes keep a red tinge to them. When Naota lands on the sidewalk a giant flash of light sends a shockwave where his foot taps the gravel.
Naota: ugh…ugh pushes a block of gravel away and struggles up
Mamimi: sees Naota in an upright position in the wreckage that was downtown Mabase holding his guitar
[Camera click] (whispering) I finally got the picture!
Haruko stands on a building not to far away with a stranger…
Haruko: Pretty good…he must be bonding with the energy..
???: Not to long now…
Haruko: I don't see how that brat was chosen over me…
???: You know why…you said it yourself… his head was the only one that works…even better than my own, besides…we both know what you'd do with the power smirks , soon he'll be ready…and then you'll have him all to yourself to manipulate…for a second I almost thought you had genuine feelings for him.
Haruko: I guess we'll never know…school girl down there is putting the move on him…not the mention Rich girl Eri…
???: Just hold on there…keep him busy…until it's time for the fusion…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naota: WHO WAS THAT MAN YOU WERE TALKING TO?
Haruko: You can't keep me to yourself Ta-kun…that's selfish
Eri: Anyone want to explain why I wasn't in this episode..
Naota: Ummm…
Eri: AND WHO WAS THAT SLUT UNDER THE BRIDGE?!
Mamimi: WHO ARE YOU CALLING A SLUT, YOU SACK O' CRAP?!
Naota: Ugh….not this..
Eri: AND YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO…"NOT A BOY ANYMORE? "
Naota: Eek!
Haruko: FORGET ABOUT ME?….TRYING TO BE ANOTHER ONE OF THE TENCHI TYPES…ALL THE LADIES TA-KUN?
Naota: sinks back in his seat no…this can't be…not ALL of them together… the same room…
Mamimi: HE'S NOT A BOY ANYMORE…HE'S MY MAN!!
Eri: ::lunges at Mamimi:: WHORE-BAG
Naota: (low voice) Next time on Furi Kuri: FLCL Episode 5 : Mizu no Kami Spirit of water
