Chapter 3 : Under the Sun

Kon's POV

The pain in my ears has lulled down to a dull throb, a little while later it lost all its feeling. I gave up trying to free my ears once I noticed the distance between my position and the green grass below. It was then, after weighing the pros and cons; I safely conclude that enduring a little pain is better than a huge hole in my body. That was how I ended up accepting my fate of hanging here for what feels like eternity under the bright blue sky, slowly grilled to perfection under the July sun. As the minutes ticked by, the sun's fierce intensity seems to increase proportionally with it.

'It's so frigging hot. Hurry up…come out, you stupid brat and take me in…before I become ENGULFED IN FLAMES!'

I could not stand it any longer. I am about to explode, literally, since the cotton within me is expanding mercilessly with the heat. I can almost see parts of my usually flat body bloating up…when she appeared. Boy, was I glad to see her! I could even take up pompoms, willingly dressed myself in a short pink cheerleader outfit, and execute a million sommersaults if that would have made her move any faster. (As if I could actually perform those feats in my current position)

'Oh, I would do anything for you just get me under a shade!'

When her hands reached for me and began feeling me up, my heart leaped with joy. Yipee, not only is she flying me away from hell, she is giving the time of my life too! Glancing down at her, it occurred to me that she is still a minor, yet to be scathed from the dirty elements that circulate the world. Therefore, I made every effort to squelch the moans of delight that are blossoming due to her rub down lest I mar her innocence.

'Please, dun stop...ah-' I groaned helplessly inside unable to contain it any longer. 'Bah, forget about innocence…ahh…'

Yuzu's POV

I hummed happily to myself as I took down the dried clothes, threw it into the laundry basket and hung the next batch of laundry in its stead. My hands worked as efficiently as possible in its never-ending (pull, throw, flap and clip) routine because I wanted to get out of the sweltering afternoon sun before I became roast. Even though I had just stood in the sun for five minutes, beads of sweat have already decorated my forehead while the back of my yellow one-piece dress is partially soaked.

My hands stopped in its tracks when it came to Oniichan's teddy bear. After giving it a thorough squeeze, I decided that it still feels a little damp in the arms, the legs and the posterior. This was to be expected since these parts are more stuffed compared to the other parts of its body. It would be deemed impossible to expect it to be completely dry in another hour or so albeit the sun is extremely hot today. I skipped it and made a mental note to come back in the evening to retrieve it. By then, hopefully it is sun drenched enough to take out the musty smell too. Chuckling to myself, I proceeded to the next article and the next, repeating my routine. Soon, only the fresh new batch of laundry and Oniichan's favourite teddy bear lies flapping on the clothes line.

I skipped to the laundry basket full of dry clothes and gaily picked it up before heading back indoors.

Kon's POV

'Eh…why is the house so hot?'

I snapped out of my reverie when my perverted brain finally comprehended that that the house is as hot as outside. I opened my eyes to find…

'Damn that brat…she forgot to take me in! No…she purposefully left me outside to be burned, scorched beyond recognition, charred to lumps of coal, UV rayed to…yikes…I'm going to get skin cancer from this long exposure!'

"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!" I shouted. Actually, I was directing my anger towards Ichigo's stupid little sister but unfortunately there is no one in sight to bear the brunt of it now. 'Great, I look like a lunatic screaming at thin air!'

'Just like Ichigo…she left me behind! What did I expect…the red carpet? After all, she is Ichigo's sister, for goodness sake!'

I sighed sadly. 'What have I done to deserve this?'

Author Notes: Err…my deepest apologies to Yuzu for putting you in the fic and having you to deal with a perverted teddy bear at your age. Don't worry; Kon will face Judgement Day in the chapter yet to come. You have my word that his pervertedness and unsavory thoughts would not go unpunished. Just don't slap me with a lawsuit, it's not my fault that this mod soul has a screw lose in his head!
