A fanfic by Yamashira Raiel de'Ryu (now known as Ryushi Nigami)
Finally. I finally got another idea for this.
Disclaimer: I own not Botan. Nor do I own Megatokyo. That belongs to Fred. bows thank you Fred-sama
Introducing….the angels
Back at the corner, two figures are floating in the air, unseen by anyone. One is a young looking woman with blue hair, in a kimono, floating on an oar. Yes, it's Botan, the ferrywoman. The other is a young man who looks exactly like Yama, only with wings and a sword. They are both sitting there in awe.
Finally snapping out of it, Botan turns to the strange man. "What the hell was that all about! He was supposed to die then!"
Shrugging, the strange man turns away. "How was I supposed to know that? I'm only a guardian angel."
WHACK Returning the paper fan back to hammer-space, Botan zips off towards Yama's house, leaving the angel with a bump on his head. He sighs. "Well, it looks like that's all the break I get. Man, being a guardian is harder than they said it would be." Stretching his wings he quickly catches up to Botan.
"And what are you still doing here?" She asks him with a little annoyance showing in her voice.
He smirks and ruffles her hair. "I already told you, kid. I'm his guardian angel."
"Look, Kizuki, I know you better than that. Why the hell are you a guardian angel!"
"…they have a better dental?"
SMACK CRASH Smacking him with her paper fan again, she causes him to run into a telephone pole. "Baka."
At the house, Shiri's just waking up out of a sound sleep. With the strange blood the de'Ryu's share, she just so happens to have control over her hair and eye color. At the moment, Her hair is black and her eyes are gray from being so sleepy. Following the smell of breakfast, she pads into the kitchen in her underwear and a nightshirt. "YAWN Good morning, Umi. What's for breakfast today?"
Without turning from the stove, Umi answers. "We've got pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, and grits."
Looking up in surprise, Shiri raises an eyebrow. "Grits? In Japan?"
Umi turns from the stove and puts a hand on her hip. "Yes, grits. I, for one, am quite tired of eating only rice everyday. It's time for something different. So I made grits."
Shiri walks over to the stove and grabs a piece of bacon. "Still, grits? I would have thought of something more traditional, like biscuits…or toast. Toast is good." Taking a bite of the bacon, she sits down at the counter.
Umi looks up from the stove again. "Have you seen Sylph, Bi, or Sei? School doesn't start for them until next week."
Shiri waves off the question. "Less talking, more cooking. They said something last night about heading over to that Gamers store. Something about checking out this 'Great Teacher Largo' who is rumored to live above it. He teaches English at their school."
Over at Gamers, the trio is walking around looking at random stuff. Piro looks at them over the counter. "May I help you?"
Sei looks up and says, in perfect English, "Yes, we were looking for Great Teacher Largo. Do you know where he is?"
Piro blinks. "You speak English?"
Sylph nods. "Yes, we do."
Still blinking, Piro looks around. "I'm…not sure if Largo is here right now. Do you mind waiting?"
Pulling a manga off the shelf, Bi answers as he opens it. "Not at all. I'm sure we can entertain ourselves for a while."
Shaking the image out of her head, Shiri looks down at the plate before her. "Looks good. Did Yama get to school okay?"
Umi sets down her own plate and looks at Shiri. "It was strangest thing. He seemed frazzled, then he asked me if I ever dreamed anything that came true the next morning. Itadakimasu."
"Itadakimasu." Digging into her food, Shiri mulls over this. "hmm. I'll have to talk to him.'
Upstairs, Yama is tossing and turning in his sleep as he dreams of more things to come.
End chapter.
Wow…that was longer than I usually write. A whole two pages. Anyways, who is this Kizuki and what does Botan have to do with anything? Will Largo meet up with the boys? Will Piro get over his shock of three Japanese looking people speaking to him in English? Read and review, please.
Ja ne!
