nissepisse - Yay. Another review from you always lights up my day and makes me want to write more. Thanks. By the way, "Dead or Alive, the Musical!" was taken down. Apparently, script format is not allowed. Isn't this site supposed to be about creative freedom? Why do they have so many rules they expect you to read!
Sagistar - I'm glad you like it. I thought that part was funny too. Jann Lee's so typical. He should stop trying so hard not to be attracted to Hitomi. She's so cute.
By the way, am I the only Tina fan? I LOVE TINA! And Hitomi, too. But recently, that blond has captivated me. She's just so awesome. Alright, I'm shutting up now.
Killing Time
A Hitomi x Jann Lee, Dead or Alive Fanfiction, Chapter 3.
Jann Lee sulked, in his own masculine, non-emo way, as he waited in the elevator, then walked to the bar. Sure enough, Brad was dowing sake like their was no tomorrow, praising the flowers and the moon and his stupid empty gourd like a hippie.
Nope. Jann Lee didn't like this drunken man in the least. That's why he had been knocked out by our favorite Invincible Dragon in the match before Hitomi vs. Jann Lee.
"Oi. Dumbass." Jann Lee nudged him in the shoulder. Drunk, of course, Brad looked over his shoulder at the other man, eyes glassy and blank. He smelled like beer. "Get up to your room, take a shower and change. We're going to the pool soon."
"Wha? Why? Can't you see I'm toasting?" Brad Wong replied, tossing his long grayish silver hair over his shoulder and downing another little cup of the rice wine.
Jann Lee almost asked, "To what?" but he caught himself. He didn't need to know what. He really didn't care. He gave the man a stern frown. He didn't have a choice. "The women invited us. Now, move it." He ordered.
"The women? Which women?" The drunk replied, standing shakily.
"Tina, Hitomi, Lei Fang, Helena, Kasumi women. That's which. Now, go." He replied, angering.
"Tina, eh?" Brad Wong had a small crush on the busty blond. She was beautiful, she liked beer, and from what he saw, she had an overprotective father and a loud, black stalker named Zack.
"Yes. Come on." He grabbed the back of his grungy shirt, and began bodily dragging him out of the small bar.
Now, down at the gift shop, Lei Fang and Kasumi were looking at flowers with which to congratulate the winner of the next match; Kasumi was buying for Helena, and Lei Fang was buying for Hitomi. After all, they had both made it into the quarter finals!
"Do you think Helena-sama would like lilies, or carnations?" Kasumi asked, looking at the single-stem samples.
"The white lilies." Lei Fang replied smartly, turning to look at the samples along the back wall. "How about Hitomi? Blue irises, or black orchids?" she asked, of course, looking at two of the most expensive blooms in the entire shop.
Unaware to the two ladies (who were completely engrossed in shopping as women often get) Jann Lee was dragging Brad Wong to the elevator, while he whined about how it hurt and how he was choking. Jann Lee was apathetic. Perhaps the drunken master should've listened the first time he was told to move...
"The blue irises, she likes blue, I think." Kasumi replied, picking up a white lily sample, some baby's breath, and a few ferns. She handed them to the florist, who went out back and began to make the bouquet.
"A white ribbon, a silver one, or a blue one?" The florist asked.
"Silver, please!" Kasumi called, then went to help Lei Fang finish choosing.
"What about these leaves?" She asked, looking at a few palm ferns. Kasumi nodded, and she picked a few up, along with the iris, and a snapdragon. "Here, will these look good?" She asked, holding them up.
"Yes, very nice."
The florist took those, and handed Kasumi her bouquet.
Meanwhile, Hitomi was standing in the ring, waiting for her opponent, Helena Douglas, the heir to DoATEC.
Finally, the tall French woman arrived. Everything about her radiated elegance, from her long hair tied up with a floppy bow, to her modified riding outfit and thigh-high leather boots.
Hitomi nodded at her as she entered, walking to her across the stage (which looked like the Great Wall of China). "I look forward to doing battle with you!" she said with a small smile and her usual confidence and enthusiasm.
Helena nodded, smiling slightly as well. "I shall present your requiem." She said. Of course, she didn't mean she was going to kill the young girl. But there was no way she was going to give in.
/...Insert Elipses here.../
The Azuma. A faithful, and very hard, punch. It took a moment for the young German to gather the strength for it. She was almost drained. But when it was unleashed... the blond was shot like a ragdoll, towards the edge of the stage. She fell down the stairs with sickening thuds, landing at the bottom.
Hitomi's mouth dropped open. That was the second person today she could've seriously injured. As soon as the judges declared the fight in her favor, she ran down the steps to help her up.
Helena stood as she got to the bottom, shaking her head, and looking to the winner. Hitomi looked ashamed, but she said, "Thanks. It was a great fight."
Helena tried her best not to be angry with herself. She would never be able to avenge her mother's killer now... and they might not come back to the Dead or Alive ever again. "Thank you, as well. But I'm afraid I must be going... I made a prior engagement..." She started to walk away.
"Going to the pool?" She guessed. Helena looked over her shoulder and nodded. "They invited me too." Both women smiled together, and started heading away from the stage.
Jann Lee was waiting outside the bathroom for Brad. Hayate was sitting on the couch, watching the news, already dressed in dark blue swim trunks. Jann Lee's were red with white down the side. Finally, the third of them emerged.
In a shiny gray speedo.
"Go back in. Shorts, now." Jann Lee commanded, averting his eyes. Hayate glanced over and chuckled.
"Who made you my boss?" The other replied. "I like it."
"Well, we don't. And I'm sure the women won't either." Hayate added.
"Tch, fine..." He turned and went back in, to change into a pair of black and white swim trunks. They all headed out.
About half-way down the hall, the ninja stopped. "I have to go do something. I'll be right there. Go on." He said, turning. He had to grab Ayane. The little purple kunoichi needed to get out, and socialize with others her age. At least two of the other girls were within a few years of her.
Kasumi, Lei Fang and Tina were there first. They were in the water, swimming around and splashing, Tina wearing the Altair, Kasumi wearing the Daisy, and Lei Fang, wearing the Nene.
The next ones were Brad and Jann Lee, who sat down in chairs to wait for the rest of the men to arrive.
And then Hitomi and Helena wandered in, Hitomi wearing the Eagle and Helena wearing the Daiquiri. Lei Fang and Kasumi immediately jumped out of the pool, and presented the girls with the flowers.
Hitomi squealed, dropping them on a table and hugging her friend fiercely. Helena more or less, did the same. She looked down at it and smiled, then graciously hugged Kasumi, who blushed.
"Thanks so much!" Hitomi said emphatically.
"So, can you let me go?" Lei Fang squeaked.
"Oh, right."
This was the longest chapter so far. Please Review. More will happen in the next installment! Woot! -ninja POOF!-
