It was a beautiful bright-blue day in the beautiful bright-blue country of Kutou. The birds sang, the fish swam, and everyone was happy.
On this particular sunny afternoon, our favourite Seiryuu Seishi twins; Amiboshi and Suboshi, sat out in the vast gardens of the Kutou palace, enjoying the warm, pleasant air.
" Ah, dear brother, isn't it a beautiful day?" asked Suboshi, his eyes half-closed, a dreamy smile on his lips. " It's as though nature is bestowing it's beauteous gifts on us."
Unlike his brother, Amiboshi looked anything but calm and relaxed. He sat there on the soft grass, fiddling with his flute, his eyes darting about suspiciously. " Shut up, shut up!" he cried. " You're all against me! I hate you all!"
Suboshi glanced at him nervously. " Er, are you alright? You look a little crazy."
" Shut up! You know I hate it when people call me crazy!"
" Um, OK then. You don't look crazy, just paranoid."
Amiboshi dropped the flute, his head clutched tightly in his hands. " No! I'm not paraAh! That bird is looking at me evilly... HIDE!" With that he leapt into the pond.
Suboshi stared after him for a moment and then shrugged, seemingly unconcerned that his brother was probably drowning. He returned his gaze to the sky, and sighed sadly. " I wish he wouldn't keep throwing himself into large bodies of deep, almost certainly life-threatening water..."
It was at that moment that the loud booming of a gong was heard.
Suboshi moaned in despair. " Oh no, it's 1.pm, and we all know what that means..." He trailed off as the rest of the Seiryuu Seishi shuffled out into the garden.
Ashitare, who was clad in a bright pink and white dress, his hair up in Miaka-style buns, came and stood next to Suboshi. " So I guess it's that time again, right?" he muttered.
" Yeah," Suboshi sighed.
" Um, Suboshi, are you aware that your brother is drowning in that pond?"
Suboshi shrugged again. " Eh, don't worry about him, I'm sure blondie will save him, he usually does."
Yui and Soi were the next to arrive. They were stumbling about, quite clearly drunk, giggling like a pair of school girls. Which I guess Yui sort of is...
" Like guys, we are like so drunk!" Yui laughed.
" Totally!" added Soi, giggling like an idiot.
Ashitare and Suboshi stared at them and sweatdropped.
Yui took the opportunity to stride up to Ashitare, swaying wildly. She clutched at his dress, still giggling. " Ashitare, this dress looks totally cool on you!"
" Totally!"
" Soi, is that all you can say?" asked Suboshi.
Soi glared at him. " Dude, it like so is not... totally!"
Yui interrupted their argument by chucking her bottle of sake at Suboshi's face. " Dude, you are like so out of line," she scolded, before bursting out laughing, which rather ruined the effect.
" Anyway, are you two prepared for blondie's... urg... activities?" Ashitare asked, barely containing a shudder.
" Dude, like, of course we're not, we're here to see that totally little babe known as"
" Like, oh my god!" Soi cut in, gasping in excitement. " There he is!"
There, with a hoard of drooling fan-girls tailing behind him, was Miboshi. He appeared to be trying to dislodge many of the fan-girls, claiming that they were, "Invading his personal floating space."
" Miboshi-sama!" the fan-girls squealed. " Can we do anything for you?"
" Yes. You can fuck off!" Miboshi yelled, wielding his prayer wheel threateningly.
With a scream, the fan-girls began running away, but not without blowing kisses at Miboshi over their shoulders.
Miboshi sighed in relief. " I'm so glad they're finally gone. Those guys follow me everywhere. It's just too much!"
" Hmp, you should think yourself lucky that you even have fan-girls, everyone hates me," Suboshi muttered.
" Minna-san!" called out an over-happy voice.
The present Seiryuu Seishi and Seiryuu no Miko looked and groaned loudly.
" Oh no, like, here he comes," said Yui, before breaking out laughing again.
Nakago was running right towards them, with his arms outstretched and a huge grin on his face.
" Hi, minna-san!" he cried as he came skidding to a halt in front of then. " Are we all feeling nice and happy?"
" Yes, Nakago-sama," they answered in a monotone voice.
Nakago blinked his big blue eyes and glanced around curiously. " Hey, where's Amiboshi-kun and Tomo-chan?"
" Well, like, Tomo isn't, like, here yet and hehehe, Amiboshi is drowning in that pond," giggled Soi.
" WHAT!" screeched Nakago. He made a dash for the pond as everyone else tried to recover their hearing.
As Amiboshi continued to splutter and cough in the water, he suddenly felt a strong arm grab him and haul him out of the pond.
After spending a moment getting his breath back, Amiboshi stared gratefully up at his rescuer. " Wow, thanks Nakago, you saved me... again!"
" Yeah, well, you've got to stop throwing yourself into the pond every time a bird looks at you the wrong way." Nakago peered at Amiboshi sadly, tears beginning to well up in his eyes. " I don't know what I'd do if I lost you..."
And with that they began to make out.
Yui watched with wide, delighted eyes. " Dude! Those two dudes are making out!"
" Totally!"
Yui then noticed that Ashitare was staring closely at her. " What is it?" she asked the cross-dressing werewolf.
" Has anyone ever told you that you look just like Haruka from Sailor Moon?"
Apparently this didn't go over well, as Ashitare ended up with a sake bottle impaled in his eye.
" Ow!" he shrieked, wrenching the bottle out of his eye. " Why do people keep shoving things in my eye!"
" Maybe because you're an annoying, cross-dressing, ugly faced gimp?"
Ashitare glanced round at the sound of the voice. " Huh? Tomo-kun? Why do you have to be so mean? And why are you wearing leather?"
" I've joined a biker gang!" announced Tomo gleefully. " We ride around town all day yelling at people! And I get to carry a whip too!"
" Hey! That's my whip!" cried Nakago, breaking away from his lip-lock with Amiboshi.
" Fuck off Blondie!"
" You're mean! Ah! Ami-chan, quit touching me there, wait till we're alone!"
" Well this is all absolutely fascinating," Miboshi paused as he noticed a couple of his fan-girls starting to creep towards him again. " But isn't there a reason why we're all out here?"
Nakago clapped his hands together gleefully. " Oh, that's right! OK, everyone, gather round, because it's time for 'Nakago-sama's happy, sparkly, friendship strengthening outing!' Today, we visit our good pals, the Suzaku Seishi!"
The others stared back at him, slack-jawed.
" What!" they screamed in unison.
That's the end of part two. I'll write more soon.
