Disclaimer: I'm sorry, but I forgot to put one up in Ch. 1. I do not own DOA or any of it's character, but I own myself
since I AM in the story! XD Anyway, I own the plot, and nothing else...except for my copy of DOA3.
Thoughts-- -'...'
Speech--- "..."
Some characters will OOC. It's kind of hard for me to get them in character sometimes.
When we re-appeared, I looked around and couldn't help but gasp. We were in Lorelei. And boy, was it beautiful! We had teleported to the part where you fight
outside underneath the huge milky white moon and the inky black sky accompanied by the shiny bright stars. I was watching the sky and the moon, when
someone really close behind me cleared their throat politely. I swiveled around and came face-to-face with my favorite ninja. Well, er...not exactly face-to-face, more
like face-to-chest, which wasn't bad either. I blushed crimson as I realized I was still hold...er...clutching Ryu to me. I immediately let go and jumped away.
"I'm sorry Hayabusa-san!" I mentally kicked my ass for squeaking. I mean, squeaking? The corners of Hayabusa-san's mouth twitched upwards. I mentally
congratulated myself on a job well done. I almost made Ryu Hayabusa, Super Badass Ninja of the Year, smile. Way to go me!
"Come on, we should head on inside." He said and started to walk away. He was walking in long strides, and with me being like a damn friggin wideload, (AN: I'm not that fat, but I like making fun of myself...looking at myself in a comical view..)
struggled to keep up. I kept seeing him looking at me in the corner of his eyes. 'Prolly making sure I'm following him and not wondering off somewhere...HEY!
That sounds like a good idea...but for later though if I get the chance...' I thought. He kept walking, and walking, and I was wondering when in the damn nine depths of hell
when we were going to stop.
Finally, he stopped before a door. I looked at the door and then at Ryu. Why was he looking at the door? Did open-saysme not work or something?
"Um...aren't you gonna open that...?" I asked getting a little nervous when I recieved no answer for a minute and half. Then he finally decided to talk. "Hayate's already in there he should be telling them about you." "What!" I practically screamed before Hayabusa put a hand over my mouth. "Shhh...not so loud." 'I wonder what his hand tastes like?' I thought.
I mentally outweighed the risks. He could either (a. chop off my tongue, (b. be totally disgusted and never talk to me again, or (c. Act like nothing happened and wipe off my slobber on his Ninja outfit. I decided to go for it. Hell, it wasn't everday your ass gets sucked into your favorite video game and you get to see your favorite characters!
I parted my lips and then slick slick, licked his hand. The effect was immediate. He wrenched his hand away like he got burnt by a fireball and glared at me. I eeped and backed up a step. "Why did you do that?" He asked in a calm voice. 'Okay...I'm gonna die, I'm really gonna bite the dust..' "I--I um...I j-just w-wanted to s-s-see h-how you t-t-tasted..." I trailed off and mentally slapped myself for stuttering so bad. Ryu looked at me like I'd gone and told him that I'd be the President of the United States in five years...as if. "Ok--ay...just don't do that again, or I will be forced to use extreme measures next time." I eeped a second time...he didn't mean that did he?
"W-what kind of e-extreme measures?" I already had a few of them pictured nicely and in graphic detail...none of them looked good. "This," He said, and as fast as lightening he had me on the ground and was...tickling me mercilessly. I couldn't help myself. I laughed outrageously loud, and couldn't stop.
(Meanwhile in the Dining Room)
Hayate re-appeared in the dining room, where everyone was just sitting down to eat. "Niisan, what are you doing back so early? I thought you went sparring with Hayabusa-san?" Kasumi asked innocently. "I er...I mean we...er...okay we didn't." Everybody in the room raised an eyebrow. It was common knowledge among the fighters' that Hayate and Ryu sparred...it usually lasted longer then thirty minutes. What was going on? "Why not?" Hitomi asked. "Well...er...we ran into a spot of trouble." "What kind of trouble?" Ayane asked thoroughly interested. "Someone was already there." Several people looked around at the others, silently wondering who would be stupid enough to interrupt Hayabusa and Hayate's everyday spar. "It wasn't any of you guys." Hayate added hastily. "Then who was it Niisan?" "Some girl was there...she's your age Ayane...I think..." He added the last part silently. "What was she doing there?" Helena asked in her aristocratic French accent. "We don't know...one minute we were sparring and then she was there." "Are you saying that she dropped from the sky?" Ayane asked incrediously.
Hayate was abruptly saved from answering by outrageously loud laughter drifting in from outside the door. Everybody got up and opened the door. They stood there in shock. Ryu Hayabusa was on a teenage girl...tickling her. Least to say, everyone was shocked beyond belief.
"Haya--Busa! G-get o-off!" "Say it! What's the magic word?" "P-p-please?" Ryu immediately stopped, and smirked at the girl who looked a little disgruntled. Her hair was mussed and falling out her ponytail, and she was breathing heavily. "Jerk." "Do you want another episode?" "No." "Okay then." She glared at him. He got off of her and she stood up brushing herself off. "I'll get you back for this." Ryu raised an eyebrow. "Really? And how do you plan on doing that?" Sarah grinned evilly. "There are plenty of ways Mr. Hayabusa." Ryu, however, wasn't the least bit worried. "Anyway, what are you people staring at?" Ryu said, and the girl looked over.
"Well, who the hell are you?" Bayman said sneering at her. "Like you care." Sarah said looking at him, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed. "No, I don't, but I at least want to know your name so I can tell you to get out of my way." Sarah glared at him. "If I'm in your damn way, you can just fucking move yourself." she spat angrily. Her cheeks
had turned a slightly light purple color. She was pissed. She wasn't some goddamn slave that people ordered around. Bayman stepped forward...a sign of intimidation.
Despite her racing heart, Sarah stood her ground and looked up at the 6' 0" frame of the Russian assassin. She was scared, but wouldn't let it show.
"Now you listen here--" He was abruptly cut off by the younger girl. "No, you listen. I don't care if your a damn assassin or not, I don't listen to you, nor will I take an order from you, you stupid overgrown fucking bastard." The spectacle would have been hilariously funny, if Bayman didn't look like he was going to shoot her. He fingered his knife. Ryu decided to step in. "Alright, calm down Sarah." She looked at him and glared at him. "Fine," she said through clenched teeth. "But you all remember this. I am NOT going to take orders from you just because I'm younger than you and much weaker. Got it?" Nobody moved or said a word. Sarah rolled her eyes. "It wasn't a rhetorical question you know." "We know that, we're not stupid you know..." "I never said you were Christie." "Sarah, can you please stop?" Ryu asked politely.
Sarah sighed. This was NOT how she envisioned seeing her favorite characters. "Yes, and I'm sorry Bayman...just don't treat me like I'm a little girl or someone who should move out of your way if you can." A loud rumble echoed throughout the hall. Everybody looked at the source of the noise. Sarah blushed like the color of a sakura petal. "What? I'm hungry..." Ryu smirked and steered her into the kitchen.
"Strange girl eh?" Brad said holding up a sake bottle. He took a long swig of it. "We're all strange in some way," Hitomi said. Everybody stared at her. "At least we're not an Alice In Wonderland look-alike..." Someone said as they all went into the dining room. Hitomi's indignant shout of "HEY!" left several people chuckling quietly.
When they entered, they saw the girl, no Sarah, eating quietly and listening to Ryu as he quietly described his adventure in what we know as the video game,
Ninja Gaiden. "I-I almost succumbed to the power...it was so hard..." "Ryu, did you wish to become evil?" Sarah asked quietly. Everyone looked up and listened.
"No, but Gods! I-" "Ryu shut up. You didn't succumb to the power, so your fine." "You don't understand! I almost did!" Ryu said a little louder than he intended.
But Sarah was adamant. "You came really close, but did you WANT it?" "No!" "Okay then. You didn't want the evil power of the Dragon Blade, so please quit beating yourself up about it?" Sarah asked nicely.
"I promise." Then Sarah did something which left everyone speechless. She leaned over and hugged him. At first, Ryu tensed. He wasn't used to such close contact in that fashion. But then he relaxed. After a lingering minute, Sarah pulled away. "There, all better?" She asked with a small smile. Ryu rolled his eyes. "Yes, Miss-I-Have-To-Hug-Me-Every-Single-Time." Sarah playfully slapped him upside his head, messing his hair up a bit. "Watch the hair!" Sarah just laughed. "Your such a dork." That was when Ryu flicked a couple of peas at Sarah, one hitting her on the cheek, one got stuck in her bangs, and one hit her arm. "You'll pay for that Hayabusa!" Sarah shouted and then flipped a whole tablespoon of mashed potatoes at him. He ducked, and instead of hitting him, it hit Christie. She looked over and galred at Sarah.
"Hey it's all good...at least it matches your hair." To which nearly the whole room erupted in laughter. That was when Hayate came up behind Sarah and dumped his drink over her head. She sputtered, and glared at him. "This means war!" She shouted and ducked a spoonful of gravy Leifang threw to hit Jann Lee who was sitting right beside Ryu. Except Ryu didn't duck in time, and the right side of his face was splattered in turkey gravy. Sarah couldn't help it, she burst out laughing. Thus how the food fight got started.
By the time it died down, everyone was covered in at least four things. Jann Lee was covered in mashed potatoes, meat loaf, bread, and tomato juice (courtesy of Christie). Hayate was covered in Coca-Cola soda (courtesy of Sarah), peas, turkey fat from the turkey itself, and chocolate mousse pie. Ryu's face was covered in turkey gravy, and the rest of his body was covered in mashed potatoes, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes. Ayane's lavendar-colored hair wasn't even the right color. Her hair was a mixture of yellow, red, brown and blue...all courtesy of mustard, cherries, chocolate pudding, and blueberry cobbler. Tina was wailing about stupid people ruining her clothes, so Ayane, being the nice girl that she is, poured soda on her head, making everything worse. Helena was no worse of wear, except she kept glaring at Sarah and Hayabusa, since they were the ones who started it. Bass took his index finger and wiped some ranch dressing off his cheek and licked it off. Leifang had gotten thrown into the punch bowl which was really huge, courtesy of Jann Lee and Ryu. Sarah, she was the worst off, since she wasn't as fast as the other fighters. She was covered in everything imaginable. Her once white t-shirt was covered in mustard, bacon ranch dressing, mashed potatoes, a smashed grape and cherry tomato, and a small piece of blueberry cobbler. Her orangish red hair was now red again, courtesy of the ketchup, and had white streaks through it because of the horseradish. Christie, had mashed potatoes in her hair and turkey gravy in her shirt. You know that outfit in DOA3 where she wears her white spandex suit with that slit in the middle of her boobs? Turkey gravy had somehow gotten in there...gee I wonder... Bayman had threatened to shoot anyone should they get anything on him, so everybody gained up on him and doused him a little bit of everything. Kasumi was her usuall giggly and hyperactive self and was trying to get the strawberry millefuille she was trying to eat earlier out of her blue and white shoes...somehow that had also gotten in her white stockings...not gonna ask how that was even possible. Gen-Fu wasn't really covered in much of anything, simply because he brought his porno magazine to the table and held it up when the food started to fly...however, if he turned the book back to the cover, it would be covered in a lot of stuff and you couldn't even read the damn title. Brad Wong was drunk, and was waving around his now re-filled sake bottle and singing rather horribly about purple smurfs wearing bright pink leotards. He wasn't covered in anything, because no one took the time to throw anything at a non-moving target. Hitomi...what to say about her...? Well, she really did look like Alice In Wonderland now...especially since her once light brown hair was...er...brown...now it was a mustard color. Leon was crying his eyes out and was currently hugging a stuffed giraffe. The stuffed animal had ranch dressing all over it's little mane. Leon started cursing everything in Italian. And finally Zack's once green goatee was once green now it was a purple, yellow, and blue color. Zack promptly fainted when he found out that his prized possession was er...not it's color.
All in all, it was a fun night. As everyone waited to take a shower, they all filed into the living room and sat down on the floor. Sarah was trying to get her glasses cleaned, to no avail...everything kept smudging together. She sighed angrily and just kept them off. She closed her eyes in frustration and rubbed the bridge of her nose.
Then her eyes snapped open and she groaned loudly gaining several people's attention. "What is it?" Hayate asked and Ryu looked up. Sarah blushed. "It's nothing," she mumbled. "You can tell us what's worng," Kasumi and Leifang said at the same time. Sarah smiled warmly at them. "Uh..thanks...but I uh...I kinda just realized that I don't have anything extra to wear...and I...I noticed that I'm not exactly your size..." She trailed off and blushed harder when she realized everyone's attention was on her.
"Is that all?" Ryu asked politely. Sarah looked up and nodded, her cheeks still flaming. "Well, you can borrow some of mine or Hayate's clothes." Ryu said. Hayate was about to protest that they were his clothes and not for borrowing, but Ryu's elbow hit him in the ribs, effectively shutting him up. Sarah stared at him open mouthed.
"You really mean that?" she asked amazed. This was most certainly going to be a trip to remember!
