Sweet Dreams
#9 Lips - Kish
We have finally reached number 9... which means that one more and it will be the end. ;-; I'll get to work more on my other fic 'Shaman Idol', though, which will be a plus. Anyway, this isn't much of a RenxPiri, but its still clearly implied. And this has another sucky ending because I still suck and endings. o.o; I need to study more on how to end stories properly. x-x
"I need to see Jeanne! Please?"
Marco's lips curled. "And why, may I ask?"
"I need to ask her something important. Please, may I just see her for a second?"
"She is currently busy in her torture chambers. So if you have a question for her, I shall tell her later-"
"It's a girl thing, Marco. I don't have much time- can't I see her for just a single second?"
"No, now go away, annoying girl!"
"Marco, I do not mind at all."
The X-Laws Leader froze, hearing the familiar trill of their faithful boss. "Maiden-sama! What are you doing outside? Exposing yourself to the dirty air is not good for you!"
She laughed, and Pirika was relieved to see that she was not in her usual Iron Maiden... thing. Jeanne was currently donning her usual frilly dress, the usual pleasant smile on her face. "What may I do for you, Pirika? We can go up to my room if you like."
Marco looked like he was about to get a heart attack. "YOUR ROOM? You are taking that filthy human being into your ROOM?"
"I'm not filthy!" Pirika snapped, feeling insulted. "I'm just a plain ainu girl!"
Jeanne laughed again. "Yes, Pirika is not filthy. It is not good calling people names, Marco."
He bowed down low to her, but still flashing his glasses at Pirika. "I am sorry, Maiden-sama. I will come up later with teas and cookies if you wish."
"Thank you, Marco. Now Pirika," she began, beaming happily at her. "I don't get many visitors. What did you want to ask me?"
All of a sudden Pirika felt nervous, wondering why she had done such a rash act as to come and visit Jeanne. Was it even appropriate, asking a person like Jeanne this question...?
"A-actually, I wanted to ask Shamash something..." A slightly guilty look on Pirika's face couldn't be helped.
Jeanne's smile faltered slightly. Shamash? Did everyone prefer Shamash to her? "Shamash? What would you want to ask Shamash?"
She fidgeted, sweating as she tried to work up the courage to ask the one tiny question. "Well... um, well, I wanted to ask him..."
"What is it, Pirika?" The holy girl asked her gently, wondering what kind of question it could be for her to be so uncomfortable.
"I was wondering... how Ren's lips felt when he gave him the kiss?"
Silence. Pirika felt herself sweating, regretting asking that one small question... but was it her fault she wanted to know what Ren's lips felt like? She'd found herself staring at his lips more then enough times, wondering what it would be like... And the only safe person- ahem, spirit- to ask was Shamash.
"...Very well, then." Jeanne said, looking rather flushed at the sudden question. "I shall summon him for you. Shamash!"
The spirit appeared out of thin air, glaring at Pirika with his blank eyes. "Shamash." Jeanne began, looking rather... embarassed, so to say, for her. "Pirika here wants to ask you... how Ren's lips felt."
Silence again. Pirika could practically feel the disgust from the holy god spirit.
"It felt... soft. And plump."
Silence once again at this shocking statement. "Um, Pirika, is that all?" Jeanne asked, still looking slightly red. "We can still chat here if you'd like-"
"Oh, thank you for the offer, but no thank you. I need to get going." Get going to a certain Ren... but Jeanne didn't need to know that. "Thank you for the reference, Jeanne and Shamash!" And so she was off to find him, leaving poor Jeanne to the dust.
Poor Jeanne. o.o; And I know it was a pretty incomplete and kind of left off, but I wanted to end it there and I couldn't think of a good ending yet again... meh. And for those wondering what in the world 'Kish' means, in the manga Shamash's kiss for Ren is described as 'Shamash's Kish' or, in a Japanese accent, 'Kisshu'. I wrote a short Omake for Jeanne and Marco. o.o; Nothing RenxPiri, though. They just think it's ridiculous how Pirika might like Ren. o.o;
Omake
"Maiden-sama...?"
A soft hic. Immediately Marco's defenses were up as he dropped the tray of teas and cookies, ready to attack whatever had caused his beloved Maiden-sama's tears...
...only to find the room completely empty except for Jeanne.
"Maiden-sama? What's wrong?"
"S-she didn't want to be friends with me..."
What? The dratted ainu girl hadn't wanted to be friends with his Maiden-sama? She should be thankful Maiden-sama was even talking to her!
"I'll go assasinate her straight away, if you want."
"No, Marco, it's okay..."
"What did she want to ask, anyway?"
This only caused her to wail even louder. "S-she wanted to know what his lips felt like!"
"WHAT LIPS?"
A louder wail. "She wanted to ask Shamash what Ren Tao's lips felt like!"
Silence. "Shamash? That's okay, then."
His statement did nothing to soothe the poor holy girl.
"Why did she want to ask what they felt like, anyway?"
Jeanne blinked. That was true... why did she want to know? "Maybe she likes Ren Tao?"
Marco couldn't help laughing at that. "Ren Tao? She likes Ren Tao? Impossible, I tell you." He commented, remembering his past relations with Ren.
"...I guess you're right."
