Note: In the manga, the girl chara sometimes call Yukimura 'Yukki', so you'll be seeing in here too. I'll pick on Saizo some more too, so it'll be interesting! LOL
Yukimura and Saizo sat side by side on the floor in front of the couch, sharing a bag of popcorn and watching afternoon soap operas.
"Change it back to the other one, the one with the pregnant lady in it."
They turned back in time to see the lady give birth to a fake baby made out of plastic. Saizo sweat-dropped as the scene cut off and came to two young lovers sitting on a bench under a fake tree. Their voices echoed as they spoke and you could tell the scene was being filmed indoors. The scene changed again and came back to the hospital scene, where the new mother was holding her baby, which had been replaced with a live one that was about two or three months old. She kissed her husband and they both laughed happily, only to find out that so and so got kidnapped and was now being held hostage at gunpoint. So much drama!
Yukimura sighed. These TV shows were sure getting him drowsy. His eyes began to droop, and he was beginning to lean slowly towards Saizo. His face bumped his shoulder and Saizo's nostrils filled with a fruit-scented aroma. (Yukimura's shampoo!)
"Uhh, Yukimura-sama, you look tired. Maybe you should go rest..."
"No no, I'm...fine..." Yukimura stifled a yawn and smiled at his longhaired buddy. "Just a while longer, okay?"
Saizo took a handful of popcorn and he was just about to eat it when Yukimura sagged into his lap. "Sake..." he mumbled.
"Ah!" Saizo gasped, and dropped his popcorn on Yukki's face. "Uhh, Yukimura...!" he said. "Yukimura!" he tried to shake the man awake as gently as he could, but Yukimura only snuggled closer (much to his dismay!).
'I'll let him lay here...for a little longer.' Saizo thought, and so he did. Thirty minutes later in the middle of "Days of Our Lives", Yukimura still hadn't awakened and Saizo's legs felt like two logs. He was practically on the verge of tears when Yukimura had decided to roll over onto the floor and onto his knees. He seemed to be in the middle of a dream, because his fingers kept twitching, his face too.
"He's probably having a nightmare anyway. He'll be glad I woke him up." Saizo thought, and gathered up some courage. He had barely touched Yukki's shoulder when a fist shot out and punched him in the balls.
"UNH!!" Saizo grunted, and fell over, spilling the popcorn.
"Acorns! You ate all the acorns!!" Yukimura yelled, and sat up. He blinked and looked around. "Wait...that was a dream?!" It was all Saizo could do to keep from whimpering, but in spite of that he let out a small groan. ("Oww!") He rolled onto his stomach and stayed there. He looked like a turtle with a stomachache, if turtles even got stomachaches.
"Saizo!" Yukimura cried, shuffling over on his hands and knees. Saizo looked up, tears squeezing out of eyes, expecting a sincere apology and maybe even a hug.
"I had the best dream ever!!" Yukimura said joyfully. (Saizo slumped back down.) "I was in the forest with Sasuke, and we were having dinner with a bunch of squirrels! It was a very cute dream too," his face darkened. "Until that guy came along and ate all the acorns..."
"Y-Yukimura!! You...punched me!" Saizo said, chagrined. Yukimura stopped talking. "I did what? Punched you? Where?" He saw Saizo holding his er, injured spot.
"Oh gawd, no! I almost destroyed your manhood! Don't you think we should examine it to see if 'everything' is okay?" Yukimura joked, and laughed at Saizo's bewildered look. "I'll get an icepack."
"No no, I really don't think that's..." Saizo began, but Yukimura was already in the kitchen, searching for ice in the fridge. "Where is that damn ice tray? Did we even make ice? Hey, found it!" He was back, and he was just pouring ice into a ziplock when the phone rang.
"I got it!" Yukimura sprang up, and absentmindedly threw the bag of ice down, right onto Saizo's (cough cough). Saizo clapped a hand over his mouth with crossed eyes and he clutched the bag of ice ever tightly until his knuckles were white. Yukimura picked the phone up. "Hello!" he snickered into the mouthpiece. "Uh-huh. I see. Well, what do you want me to do about it? What was that? Well, fine. Whatever's okay with you, bye." He set the phone down. "There's some good news, and there's some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
At this point, Saizo was just recovering from his injury (hahahaha!!), and he was now sitting up. "Well, the good news, I guess." He decided. Yukimura put on a big grin.
"Our little Sasuke is getting along with his classmates!"
"And the bad news?"
"He's getting suspended."
"What are you trying to imply by that?"
A burst of lightning illuminated the room, followed by a booming thunder clap. Rain poured to the ground in torrents.("Ahh! It's gonna flood! Save me, Saizo!") About five, maybe ten seconds later, the door burst open. It nearly bounced itself closed. Saizo jumped and Yukimura put on his 'Serious Look' as a small, rain drenched figure stomped in and stood at the threshold of their house.
"What-do-you-want-from-us?" Yukimura said slowly and dramatically, holding a cowering Saizo in front of him as a shield. The person snorted and came towards them.
"What's that stupid expression for, it's only me." Sasuke mumbled, and threw his book-laden school bag into Saizo's lap. ("Unh!") "I only got one homework assignment, and a permission slip for you to sign..."
"You're ba-ack!" Yukimura cried, and grabbed Sasuke by the ankles and pulled him down to the ground.
"G-get off me!" Sasuke cried, failing every attempt to struggle his way out of Yukimura's bear-hug/headlock. He tried to crawl away on his hands and knees, but he kept getting dragged back. Saizo hugged Sasuke's bag, and this time he was really crying, sniffling into his bandanna and looking over Sasuke's homework at the same time. Yukimura ignored him and went on about babying Sasuke as if he were his only begotten son or something.
"Give me a hug! I haven't seen you all day, I was so worried...!" Yukimura nuzzled Sasuke's head with his cheek—"Don't do that!! Yukimura...!!"—and took the boy's face in his two hands. "My! You're growing so fast I can see stretch marks!"
"What in the hell?!" Sasuke cried. His kendama was on the floor. He lunged for it and tried to hit Yukimura with it, but Yukimura was too fast, as usual, and dodged the blow. It hit Saizo in the forehead, knocking him out. He fell over on the couch. Yukimura gasped loudly in dismay, dramatically covering his mouth with the palm of his hand, and Sasuke knew he'd gone too far.
"No! You bad little boy, it's time for your spanking!" Yukimura grabbed Sasuke and wrestled him to the ground and sat on top of him, pinning his arms down with his knees. What kind of spanking was that?
"NO!! Get away from meeee!!" But instead of getting punished, he started getting tickled. Yukimura was really mean when he tickled somebody, because he knew exactly where it would hurt...I mean tickle, sorry. He could make even Kyo laugh if he tickled him. Sasuke was all too glad Kyo wasn't here to see him in this position. He came crashing back to the present as Yukimura put his hands under his shirt and tickled his stomach.
"Aww, quit being so serious!"
"No! No!" Sasuke gasped for air. Trying not to laugh was getting extremely difficult. "S-stop! Y-Yuki...mura!!" The boy was near tears, and his face was kinda screwed up, but he managed to maintain an almost straight face all throughout his torture.
"There, you can go now." Yukimura let him up and the boy scurried away like a cat on fire to seethe in his room, which he shared with Saizo. (Well, they all slept in the room, mainly because they 'needed' each other, though Sasuke knew he really didn't need anyone, but Yukimura did. All the other rooms were dedicated to such things such as a tiny martial arts dojo, and a mini red light district. But that was just a nickname, thank goodness. They called it that 'just because'.) Yukimura meanwhile, went over to the dead Saizo (well, he looked like he was dead) and picked up the permission slip.
"Hmm." He said, reading it over. "Interesting."
Letter: Dear Parent, we are going on a trip to the museum in the next two weeks. We need your child to bring some money for lunch, and a coat, just in case. Chaperones are also welcome to come along for the ride, since there will be about fifty children to look after on two buses. A total of five chaperones are needed, on a first come, first serve basis. Thank you, and hope you can make it! Signed, the Principal
What will happen on the field trip?! Will Sasuke ever make any friends? Find out in the next chapter! Hope you're enjoying it!
