Mistletoe Mishaps-
Taller than a skyscraper that could pierce the heavens above, broader than a hefty rodeo bull, he seemed indestructible. The scar that stretched across his abdomen proclaimed this to be true. Wild dark hair that gave him the look of a stray dog made him seem so free. One dirty look from that man could send even the strongest of men cowering to the far corners of the room; much like our little red headed hero was doing now. Yet there he was, smiling, hugging the kindest woman Tetsu had ever met, and Ayumu was laughing!
"Who the hell is that guy?" Tetsu hissed into his silver haired shield's ear.
The moment that the giant had barged in everyone had frozen. Yet, Tetsu seemed to be the only one who was afraid, well Tatsu was hiding in the kitchen, but that didn't count. Hijikata was sitting on the sofa smoking his cigarette acting bored, Okita was absentmindedly scratching Saizo's tummy smiling at the newest guest, and Suzu was just standing calmly at the base of the staircase with Tetsu ducked down behind him like a frightened mouse!
"How am I supposed to know?" Suzu shot back shoving the tiny tyke away from his ear, "What, are you afraid of that idiotic lug?"
Tetsu glared at the back of Suzu's head a before turning his attention back to the big guy who had just stormed into the Inn.
The muscular man picked up Ayumu as if she was as light as air, and twirled her around while crushing her in a bear hug. "Ayumu, it's so good to see you!" He shouted happily.
"Same to you Sanosuke." Ayumu chuckled, "But I'm guessing you missed my cooking more than anything else."
Sano set the southern girl down gently and began to mock-cry. "Oh, you have no idea!" He sobbed, "Heisuke's cooking is the worst!"
Ayumu nodded her head in sympathy. "Where is Heisuke?"
"Trying to get a head start on our little trap," Sanosuke gave a hearty laugh. "I'm counting on you to have everything set Ayu"
Hijikata took a long drag from his dying cigarette before snuffing it out in the nearest ashtray. "Well at least now we know why Ayumu hung that damn shrub on her door."
Okita's eyes glistened with wonder at the new found information. "Did those two finally get together?" Okita beamed.
A small sigh escaped from Sano's usually happy lips. "Nope not yet, but I'm hoping to change all that this Valentines!"
Tetsu shook Suzu's shoulders roughly, "Who are they talking about? Who's Heisuke? What trap have they set?? Who are they trying to get together?!" Tetsu rambled on shaking Suzu faster and faster with each question that his vocal cords sounded.
The shaking was making Suzu's head hurt, you're brain being bashed against your own skull isn't a very pleasurable experience. Turning around the angry kitty clocked the annoying brat upside with head with a clenched fist.
"How the hell should I know?" Suzu growled, "Listen and maybe we'll find out!"
Susumu stalked past the two teen spies. His attention …err… glare focused on the giant in his living room. Susumu sized the grinning Sanosuke up; making it obvious that he didn't like what was before him. He had met the comedian trio before. It was easy to say that Tetsu and Suzu's little mishap in the kitchen would never be able to compare to the disaster that those three plagued on their Inn time after time.
Susumu finally turned his gaze to his sister, "Please tell me you're not doing what I think you are."
Sano scratched the back of his head nervously, "Aw come on man, and it's just some harmless fun!"
A high pitched screech rung threw the air coming from outside, "Sano, Open the door!"
Sano took two long steps and swung the door open. In stumbled a tiny man with dirty orange hair, the guy was hardly two inches taller than the pipsqueak Tetsu. Clinging to the man for dear life was an average man with dark brown hair tied on top of his head in a strange knot. The smaller man squirmed in a huge effort to free himself form the dark haired man's vice grip.
The taller guy, who went by the name Heisuke, continued to cuddle the fiery tempered shrimp beneath him. "I told you Eiji! You are just too cute not to smother!"
Hijikata's cocked an eyebrow at the name. "Eiji…?"
"Aww, that's such a cute nick-name for him Heisuke!" Okita giggled, "Eiji…I wonder how he thought of that…"
Nagakura kept up with his struggle finally wriggling out of Toudou's loving arms. "Well, I hate the name." Shinpachi grumbled dusting his jeans and red and black jersey with the number 26 on the back T-shirt of any 'Hei-germs'.
Towering over the small Nagakura Ayumu began to pull Shinpachi into her elaborate scheme that had already caught another famous couple.
"Shinpachi, criminals are not aloud into this house!" Ayumu stated firmly.
Shinpachi glared his oak wood orbs at his tormenter and friend Heisuke, "Good, hear that Heisuke? Now, stop harassing me!"
Susumu placed a rigid hand on his sister's shoulder. "Don't sis, just don't" the mullet man hissed in the older woman's ear.
Shoeing her little brother away Ayumu turned her attention back to her task. "I wasn't talking about him, Nagakura." Ayumu placed her hand on the shorter man's head and let her opposite hand's index finger lead his eyes to the mistletoe hanging above Heisuke's airy head.
Shinpachi skittered backwards eyeing the evil weed. He took to the thing as well as a vampire would take to garlic.
"You can't make me!" Shinpachi screeched in defiance. "It's not Christmas! I'm not even under the damned thing!"
Susumu looked at the sorry excuse for a man with the utmost sympathy. The poor guy, Susumu really could relate. It wasn't long ago that Ayumu had thought it 'cute' to try to get her little brother to swap spit with his ex-boss, a very creepy man by the name of Kashitaro. He went through ten bars of soap before his sister had decided it coasted too much in cleaning supplies to keep on torturing her brother, and that was just after the first kiss. He really didn't think the red head stood a chance though, if Ayumu couldn't have fun with her own brother she was going to have it with any other poor male sap that has the pleasantry of being her friend.
Toudou snuck up behind the small man wrapping one arm around the guy's waist letting his opposite hand stroke Shinpachi's messy hair. "Now, now Eiji, calm down" Heisuke cooed, "Shh shh, it's all ok."
Shinpachi's struggling slowly began to cease as the gentile murmurs in his ear began to lull him into a relaxed state. Heisuke really could work wonders with the feisty man.
"N…o..." Shinpachi mumbled. His eyelids drooped sleepily; his body slumped into Heisuke's embrace.
Ayumu jabbed her elbow into Sano's side until the big man doubled over to her height, "How is Heisuke doing that!?" she hissed in the broad man's ear.
"Dunno" Sano grumbled, "I've never seen Shinpachi that relaxed though, not even in his sleep!"
Then the tiger struck. Heisuke picked up the older shorter man and moved him under the mistletoe. Setting Shinpachi on his lap facing him Toudou smiled. Toudou supported Shinpachi's sleepy head with his fore arm; his fingers stroked the little guy's ear tenderly. Using his free hand Heisuke set his lover's jaw. Hungry lips engulfed open passive ones. Heisuke slowly began to devourer the older man's supple lips, while the rest of the world looked on in either disgust or pure fascination.
For a while Shinpachi didn't move a muscle as his friend maimed his tender lips. Then, movement! Of coarse this movement was not that of which Toudou was expecting or wanting. This 'movement' had to deal with the shorter man's fingers curling into a round like object and being flung at his attacker's soft underbelly, thus breaking the kiss.
Drooping Shinpachi, Toudou doubled over in pain allowing his prize a chance to escape. Eagerly Shinpachi raced out of Heisuke's range hiding behind Sanosuke's long legs.
"Damn you Toudou!" Shinpachi spat taking the time to wipe his lips on his sleeve, "You promised to never do that to me in public!"
Toudou regained his lost breath and grinned at Shinpachi, "But you were so tense I had to do something!" For that statement Toudou received a cold glare from the bruised lipped Nagakura.
"How did you do that Heisuke?" Sano queried as he scratched the back of his head in wonder.
Toudou grinned eager to reveal his secret, "I got a hypnosis book last Christmas from Mr.Kashitaro!" Toudou explained, "When Shinpachi came home stressed from work one day he volunteered to be my test subject!"
"Volunteered, my ass." Shinpachi grumbled.
"You want to?" Heisuke grinned twisting Shinpachi's words around he crawled over to the shorter man that hid behind their tall friend.
"Back!" Shinpachi shot onto his feet holding onto Sanosuke's waist he used the giant man as a human shield, "Back, I say!"
Susumu began rubbing his temples, "Please make these loons stop!" Susumu groaned.
To Susumu's relief Toudou became distracted when he spotted a spark of red peeking out from behind a patch of silver. When Tetsu realized that the weird man's gaze was directed at him he wanted to just bolt. That guy was nuts! No telling what he would do to him!
Toudou just smiled at the poor kid, "Aw, look Shinpachi! It seems you aren't the only cute boy here this year!"
Tatsu burst out of the kitchen, "Run Tetsu!" The older brother stumbled his way to the stairs knocking over a peeved Suzu in the process.
Within a minute Tatsu had grabbed Tetsu's wrist and dragged the poor little boy roughly up the stairs. Poor Suzu swore he would never submit a bug again to the same treatment that Tatsu had to his face again. He also made a mental note to sneak some air fresheners in Tatsu's sock drawer.
Toudou stared sadly after the retreating Ichimura brothers. "…but his hair…"
"Looks like I'm not the only one you scare" Shinpachi mocked Heisuke.
Hijikata stood up and slowly made his way to the door, "I need to get away from this nut house." He mumbled.
"Oh, Can I go with you Toshi?" Okita squealed. Jumping to his feet the long purple haired man dashed out after his boss.
Ayumu sighed as the company slowly dispersed, "Suzu could you go pry Tetsu from Tatsu so you two can get these guys' luggage?" Suzu complied rubbing his face as he made his way up the stairs to retrieve the frightened orange puppy.
Susumu just shook his head. "I'll show you to your rooms."
Suzu made his way down the hall to find the Ichimura's room. When he found it he rapped loudly on the door's wooden frame. Tatsu just yelled at him to go away. He was saying something about not exposing his 'pure little brother' to such an 'evil and despicable' man. No wonder Tetsu was so stupid; Tatsu suffocated him with so much parental protection that the boy's brain cells had probably died by the time the runt was six!
"It's me! Suzu!" The silver haired boy yelled knocking louder, "Don't worry Ayumu sent those clowns to their rooms!" Well, she hadn't really, she only had Susumu show them to their rooms, but he had to prove that Ayumu had some control over the weirdo's or else Tetsu wouldn't be aloud out until next Christmas!
After a while Suzu was able to coax Tatsu into releasing Tetsu into the real world and the two boys raced downstairs to get their new guests' luggage. Once they were able to drag the junk up the stairs and down the hallway to the Comedian Trio's bedroom they knocked and braced themselves for the psycho man to burst out of the door and devour them like snacks. Instead Sanosuke opened the door and let the two munchkins in.
Tetsu looked around the room and noticed that there where only two beds. What the short guy going to sleep with the psycho after what he did?
"Toudou is in the next room over. " Sano stated at the confused looks that both the teens had on their faces.
"And for a good reason!" Shinpachi grumbled.
Sano sighed, "Come on Shinpachi, you know he's just trying to show how much he cares!"
Suzu eyed the short man that sat slumped against the headboard of his bed. "If he does that to you why are you guy's friends?" Suzu asked curiously.
"Yeah!" Tetsu piped in, "It couldn't be that hard to get a restraining order on that guy!"
Shinpachi gave a half grin, "He's not like that all the time. Toudou's actually pretty cool once you get past his obsession with cute boys."
"Though I never could see why he thought you where cute Shinpachi..." Sanosuke muttered. Nagakura shot the big man a cold glare as if warning him not to go into that subject.
"Besides," Sanosuke grinned, desperate to get off the tender issue, "Without him we'd be one short of the comedian trio!"
"Gotta admit," Shinpachi sighed, "It just wouldn't be as fun without him."
With a sudden swoop Sanosuke picked up Tetsu and held him high in the air. Laughing the man tossed the struggling boy up and down in the air.
"Let me go!" Tetsu shouted, "Put me down! Suzu! Help!"
Sanosuke laughed at the kid's disheveled being "Aww look Shinpachi the kid's barking for his pack mate!"
Shinpachi busted a gut laughing, "That's one spunky puppy you got there Sano, be careful not to get bitten!"
Acting Shinpachi's words, Tetsu promptly bit the big lug's hand. Howling Sano dropped their new puppy onto the ground with a thud. Tetsu scurried away to hide behind Suzu once more as he growled at his antagonists.
Suzu eyed the frightened growling puppy behind him, "We better bring Heisuke his luggage" Suzu tried to ease their way out of the crazy men's rooms.
"Man that is one vicious puppy." Sano joked.
Shinpachi smirked, "Yeah, that's one cold kitty he hangs around with too"
Once out the door Tetsu started to whine, "Man what was his problem!?"
"He was probably trying to cheer Nagakura up." Suzu stated evenly, "I don't think he meant to scare you."
Tetsu just sighed, "Yeah whatever… Can you bring Heisuke his luggage by yourself? I promised Tatsu I wouldn't go near him…or his room."
Suzu shrugged "Yeah sure, go be a good little boy for your big brother." Suzu teased.
After a few rude remarks where exchanged Tetsu left happily and Suzu dragged the suitcase to the third person of the Comedian Trio's room. Knocking Suzu waited until Toudou opened the door and let him in.
"I have your luggage." Suzu stated the obvious.
"So what, you gonna hold it for ransom?" Toudou smiled, "Guess your friend was too afraid of me to come with you huh?"
"More like his brother was too afraid of you to let him come with me." Suzu remarked pushing the suitcase into a corner. Toudou just nodded understandingly.
Turning to leave Suzu walked over to the door but stopped when the door was halfway open, "Good luck...you know with Nagakura and all..." was all Suzu said before opening the door all the way.
Heisuke grinned, "Thanks, Good luck to you too kitty." Toudou thought for a moment, "Don't worry, even cats and dogs can love each other." Suzu left a little confused without a word.
What a strange guy. After giving up on comprehending the weirdo Suzu set out to find his lost puppy. It was getting late by the time Suzu had found Tetsu sitting on the couch where Hijikata had smoked that afternoon, staring at the mistletoe that had caused such a riot a little while ago.
"Hey Suzu," Tetsu queried acknowledging his companions presence, "What did Tatsu mean when he told me that guys aren't supposed to kiss?"
Well chalk that up for weird question of the day Suzu thought, "I guess some people just think it's bad for a guy and a guy to love each other." Suzu stated plopping down onto the couch next to his friend.
"Why" Tetsu's innocent mind set to work on figuring out the answer to his complex question.
Suzu shrugged, "I don't know? Why is the sky blue?"
"Heisuke looked pretty happy when he got to kiss that short guy." Tetsu mumbled.
Suzu shook his head, "Look Tetsu, not everyone thinks it's bad for two guys to be together. It really just all comes down to what you believe is ok to do and what isn't ok to do."
"But how can you tell if it's alright or not!?" Tetsu whined as he kicked his feet in frustration.
This whole conversation was beginning to bore Suzu. He wanted to do something. Something evil to be exact, that would annoy and, or bug Tetsu to no end. In other words our kitty wanted to play. So Suzu set to work on letting the gears in his deranged mind crank up a plot. It wasn't long before he realized he could use this conversation to his advantage. He knew what happened in the bedroom had freaked Tetsu out, why not exploit the subject?
"Who cares?" Suzu yawned, "Hey you want to go outside for a while?"
Tetsu carelessly shrugged, "Sure why not? I'll tell Tatsu."
Tetsu raced up the stairs to inform his older brother he was going outside. By the time the red head was able to race back down Suzu was standing in the open door way leaning of the wooden frame. Tetsu raced past Suzu grinning playfully. Tetsu bound down the porch steps, but when Suzu didn't follow his carefree counterpart the red head began to wonder what was wrong.
"Come on Kitamura," Tetsu grinned walking back up the steps to stand next to his friend, "It was your idea to go outside."
Suzu just stared upwards, "Hey Tetsu you remember Ayumu's rule? That anyone who stood under the mistletoe and didn't kiss isn't aloud inside?"
"Yeah so?" Tetsu quirked an eyebrow at his friend.
With blinding speed Suzu captured the puppy's jaw in a firm grip. Not wasting anytime the skilled silver haired teen crushed his lips into Tetsu's pure inexperienced ones. Using some techniques that he had picked up when watching Heisuke and Shinpachi's little lip lock Suzu wetted and proded Tetsu's lips with his tongue. Brushing his tongue against Tetsu's smooth white teeth Suzu began to force an entryway into the younger boy's mouth. The silver haired teen was setting himself up for an explore and conquer mission, so far he wasn't getting any resistance which was all the more perfect for him.
Tetsu didn't know what to do! Should he just stand still? Should he fight Suzu off of himself like Shinpachi had done with Heisuke? Then again Suzu wasn't half bad at this, hell he was a god at it! Granted Tetsu didn't have any experience in this area so he really didn't know. Maybe he should kiss back?
When Tetsu felt Suzu's tongue making its way into his mouth he freaked. Now he really didn't know what to do. A simple first kiss had been scary enough, but this!? Just when Tetsu figured that he better open his mouth the extra warmth that had been Suzu's lips melted away and his lips grew cold, leaving him longing for that rough and comforting heat once more. Tetsu, who hadn't realized that he had his eyes closed most of the time, opened his eyes to behold a cocky Suzu who looked and felt like he had just conquered the world.
Suzu hadn't thoroughly explored the twerp, figuring he should draw this out as long as possible. He wanted to make Tetsu wonder at just what the silver kitty was going to do next. He wanted to have the element of surprise. Besides he would get bored quick if he took everything at once.
"Just wanted to make sure that I'm aloud back in." Suzu purred erotically.
