KK:(listening to iPod; head-banging to heavy metal music)
Noodle:(taps KK on shoulder)K-san, what are you listening to?
KK:(puts song on pause)It's a wicked awesome band called All Out War.
Noodle:What kind of music is All Out War? Is it death metal?
KK:Yup! Why, have ya heard of them?
Noodle:I think I have. They did do a few concerts back in Japan.
KK:I know the lead singer, Mike Score.
Noodle:How do you know him?
KK:(smirks)'Cuz he's my Global History teacher! Oh, I forgot the disclaimer. I still don't own Gorillaz, and I don't own All Out War. But, truthfully, I DO know Score from All Out War, and he IS my Global teacher! And, don't ask; I'm not getting autographs for anyone. But, you should listen to his music; IT'S FUCKING RAD!(PS-I strongly suggest the songs "Claim Your Innocence", "Rise of the Antichrist",and "Apocalyptic Terror".)
Chapter 15!Viva Kyoto! Part Two
Let's see. Where did we leave off?...Oh, I remember! We last left off with the five inside of Adria's huge house, and she has just given them a first glimpse of her enormous library. I think we should pick up from there, shouldn't we?
"Damn!" all four said at the same time, which shocked Adria because Noodle said it, too. There was a long pause, followed by-
"That was cool."Russel started to chuckle. "How could we all have said that at the same time?"
Noodle shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, who knows?" The young Japanese girl then ran over to the stairs of the library and started to hop up each step. "This room is amazing!" Her loud voice echoed throughout every inch of the room.
"Noods, wait up!"2D called as he chased after her.
"Where'd ya get all o' this stuff?" Murdoc asked, looking around. The remaining three slowly made their way up the stairs.
"Connections, money, different countries," Adria replied. "I don't really collect, like, a lot of encyclopedias and junk like that. Just a bunch of stuff on witchcraft, hauntings, spirits, vampires-"
"MANGA!" Noodle's voice once again produced a large echo. One so loud that the other four had to hold their hands over their ears until it vanished.
"-And Japanese comics." The three met up with Noodle and 2D, who were too busy gazing through three sets of large bookcases filled with colorful paperback books.
"Astro Boy, Mars, Pokemon, DragonBall Z." The two read through every title they could recognize, taking time in between to squeal at issues they had never even seen before.
Noodle seemed to recognize every single one. Stopping to pluck one book from its shelf, she started to skim through the black and white pages.
"What are ya readin', Noods?" 2D asked, stopping at Noodle's side.
"FullMetal Alchemist," she answered happily, quickly returning to reading. "This is the one of the last books in the series- oh my God! Edward just died!"
"Ed died? Where?" 2D gazed at the picture. "Oy, that ain't a pretty picture!"
"Well, duh, 2D-san!"
"She jus' told ya off, face-ache!" Murdoc joked, laughing cruelly.
Adria scoffed and gently nudged her boyfriend. "Be nice, Muds. If you're good, I'll show you my book section on Satanism."
The minute he heard this, Murdoc's eyes widened. "Y-ya got a section on Satanism!"
"Yes, I do." She put up her arm. "Shall I lead you?"
Murdoc smirked and locked his arm with hers. "Yes, you may!" And with that, the two walked past a few more bookcases until they finally reached the select few by the wall.
"Here we are," declared Adria.
Murdoc unwrapped his arm from around hers and walked towards the wall. Reaching out his hand, he took one book out and read the title, Dante's Inferno. He then flipped the book open and began to read.
"Like it?" Adria smirked.
"Yeah, I really do!" He closed the book and put it back. "This place is amazin'; it probably 'as, like, every book on Satanism ever written by 'uman 'ands!"
"I think, before I left for Kong, I ordered the last few!" She began to laugh.
"Awesome! I didn't see ya as the quiet, bookworm type when ya came t' Kong."
"I'm a big book fan, but I'm more the social, musical type of person. I have tons of books on music."
"Really? Ya do?"
"Yeah. You wanna see 'em?"
The bassist smirked lustfully. "Maybe later." He took a step forward. Adria took a step back. They continued this until Adria backed up against the wall, Murdoc's body lightly brushing against hers. Finally, he moved in for the kiss, pressing his lips gently against hers, his hands traveling down her body to rest on her hips.
Sinking into the kiss, Adria wrapped her arms around Murdoc's neck. His serpent-like tongue poked at her soft lips, begging for entrance. She finally parted her lips, giving him permission to enter her mouth. He quickly took advantage of the offer, his tongue battling hers for dominance. They stayed locked like that for quite a while, until-
" 'Ey, get a frickin' room!" a certain blue-haired singer called down, poking his head out of a certain alley of bookcases.
Murdoc broke the kiss, let go of Adria, and turned around. "Tusspot! You're a dead man!" He walked towards 2D, cracking his knuckles.
"Yipe!" 2D disappeared once again into the alley. Murdoc's walk quicked into running.
And, the two engaged in a little game of "cat and mouse"...
And of course, being the playful child she was, Noodle followed right behind, racing after the Satanist and the singer, and laughing happily.
"Guys, cool it!" Adria yelled, trying to get them to stop. But to no avail; the three continued to run after each other, swirving through the bookcases, reminding Adria of a wild goose chase that Scooby Doo and his friends had gone on after the villain in every episode. Sighing, Adria just tried to catch up with them and slow them down before something happened.
Finally catching up to the two guys, she grabbed them both by the backs of their shirts, stopping them dead in their tracks.
"Guys, COOL IT!"she yelled even louder. "I swear to God, I'll kick both of you asses if you guys don't calm down!"
"Whoa, Adria caught us," Murdoc laughed as he thought about how fast he and 2Dwere running. "Ain't that a bitch?"
"Took track for three years in high school," she told them, feeling proud of herself. "But still, for once can you two dopes get along!" She let them go.
"Sorry Adria," 2D groaned. "I'll be a good boy."
Adria smiled. "Good. Muds doesn't have to apologize 'cuz I know he's not gonna do it anyway. And, still, you really shouldn't interrupt stuff like that, 'D." He smile turned into a smirk as she looked back at Murdoc, winking at him.
"I'm sorry." 2D lowered his head in shame.
"It's okay!" Reaching her hand over, the Wiccan princess patted the singer's head like a puppy. "Good boy, 2D."
"Grr! Don't treat me like a bloody dog!"
"Wow, Muds," Russel retorted, shocked by his outburst. " 'D's been hangin' out with you way too long; he's startin' to act like you, bro."
" 'Ell no, 'e can't act like me no matter 'ow much 'e tries." Murdoc leaned his back against a bookcase and crossed his arms. "Each person is authentic, so 'e can never replace someone like me."
"Yeah. One of you is enough on this planet." Russel, along with Noodle and Adria, started to laugh at the joke.
"Actually, ya right, Russ. There's only gonna be one Murdoc Niccals, and that's the way I like it."
"Dude, don't get delusional," Adria warned. "You guys wanna see the rest of the house, before something breaks in here and I gotta kick someone's ass?"
"I want to see the rest of the house!" said Noodle, raising her hand like a schoolgirl.
"Well, come one! Follow me!" She then led the four band members out of the library and back down the hall and down the stairs, showing them all of the bedrooms, the backyard, the kitchen, the dining room, the guitar room, her personal bedroom, her art studio, even the recording studio she had in her attic! After the grand tour, and hanging out a little more in the library, towards four o'clock, thefive headed for the hotel.
"Murdoc, how much longer are you gonna be in that bathroom? I don't think it takes you that long to change!" Adria tapped her foot impatiently outside the hotel room bathroom.
"Well, maybe ya should give me more than two minutes, ya impatient bitch!"
"What did you call me!"
"You heard me, Garrison!"
"Adria! Muds! I got a migraine; shut the 'ell up!"
"Sorry, 'D," Adria apologized. She walked over to the bed the singer was sitting on. "Do you always have migraines?" She sat down.
"It's a curse, really." 2D chuckled.
Finally, the bathroom door opened and Murdoc stepped out. He, of course, was wearing his signature outfit: a long-sleeved black shirt, slightly-torn jeans, a pair of dark brown boots, and his oh-so prettiful violet cape with the silver skull snap.
"So, whaddya think?" he asked the two.
"I think Marvin the Magician wants his cape back," Adria replied, making herself and 2D start laughing.
"Oh, c'mon. Ya don't look any better yaself."
Adria was wearing a short black skirt, a white tank top with a red rose printed on the front, and her rose choker. Her hair was tied back with a long red ribbon. "At least I'm not wearin' a cape!"
"Well, I like the bloody cape!"
"Good for you!"
Adria, Muds! What did I jus' say?"
"Oh, sorry, 'D." Adria hugged him and smirked, which made Murdoc very jealous.
"Will ya two stop flirtin' already! For the love of Satan, ya two are the most annoyin' 'umans on this 'ole fuckin' planet!"
"Awww, is Mudsie a wittle bit jeawous?" The Wiccan princess let 2D go.
"No. Ya just pissin' me off."
There was a knock on the door. Apparently, Russel and Noodle from the room across the hall were ready to go have dinner further in the city, according to plan.
"Guys, you ready yet?" Russel's voice called.
"Yeah, we've been ready!"Murdoc answered for the other two.
"Look who's talking, Mr.Takes-Me-More-Than-Ten-Minutes-To-Get-Dressed!" Adria crossed her arms.
"Shut up, Garrison!"
The grouns had just finished eating dinner and were now riding a private bus to a nearby shopping plaza that Adria had told them about for some late-night shopping. Again, thank God (or should I say Satan) that Murdoc had gotten the band private transportation. While awaiting their arrival, Adria was giving Noodle a personality quiz that she had printed off of her laptop prior to the plane ride.
"Chocolate or vanilla?"
"Vanilla!"
"Tea or coffee?"
"Tea!"
"Coke or Pepsi?"
A groan escaped Murdoc. "Can ya two shut it, b'fore I go completely insane!"
"Do not be such a wet blanket, Murdoc-san," Noodle scolded him. "Adria-san and I are having fun."
"Yeah, shut it, Niccals!" Adria agreed. "Anyway, Noodle, hiphop or rock?"
"Rock music! No offense, Russel-san."
"None taken." The drummer continued to read his magazine.
The bus soon came to a halt. They had arrived at their destination, and Murdoc hadn't killed himself (Thank Satan, right?). As everyone filed off of the bus, another crowd started forming. Especially near little Noodle, who looked like any minute she would attack someone.
"Adria! Over here!" a voice called.
Adria turned to where the voice was coming from, and it sounded so familiar. She then saw a pair of people fighting through the crowd. The girl had long blonde hair with blue streaks, and was wearing torn-up jeans and a purple T-shirt. The other, a guy, had messy, shoulder-length black hair, and had on some dark eyeliner, a red-and-black long-sleeved shirt, a pair of torn jeans, and a pair of brown army boots. Finally, after some observation, Adria was able to recognize the two.
"JACK! CORA!" she screamed as she ran to them. All three embraced at the same time.
"Where the hell have you been all this time, girl?" the one addressed as "Jack" asked.
"Still at Kong," she replied. "And I still can't believe you haven't dropped the Gerard Way look. And, there's been a change of plans; they're letting me stay!"
"That's awesome!" Cora squealed. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks! You guys wanna meet the band?"
"YEAH!"
"Okay, calm down." Hearing this, Cora and Jack popped out of the crowd and walked over with Adria to where the four band members were standing.
"Guys, these two are Jack and Cora, two of my best friends," she said introducing them.
After two seconds, Cora screamed wildly. She started to run towards 2D, who took a few steps back. Befpre she could reach him, however, Adria grabbed her arm tightly and prevented her from going any further.
"Cora strained to get loose. "Adria, let go of me! I wanna see 2D!"
"Stop acting like a rabid fangirl, and I'll let you see him." Adria struggled more to keep her friend under control until she eventually calmed down. Seeing this, she let her friend go.
"Psyche!" Cora ran to 2D and tightly hugged him, almost knocking him to the ground in the process. "Oh my God, you are even cuter in real life!"
"Cora, careful; you're suffocating the poor dude!" Jack informed her.
Cora obeyed and let the poor singer go. Finally able to breathe better, 2D became slightly afraid of Adria's hyperactive friend. "Uh, nice t' meet ya," he said sheepishly.
Murdoc stepped over to Cora. "Well, well, well. So you're the one who sent 'er the bass, aren't ya?"
"Uh-huh!" Cora then slightly tilted her head to one side like a confused animal. "Did you know that you look like a demented version of one of the Beatles?"
Murdoc turned to look at Adria. "Love, ya friend's off 'er nut!"
"Get used to it; she's always like this."
"Well, where'd ya find ya friends? In an insane asylum or summink?"
"HEY!" Cora crossed her arms. "Who the hell do you think you are!"
"He's my boyfriend!" Adria snapped back at her.
"...Oh. My. GOD! You're kidding, right?" asked Jack.
"Absolutely not. He's been my boyfriend since Christmas." Adria twisted her arm around Murdoc's.
Cora's eyes widened. "That is so cute!"
Murdoc stared at Adria's friend like she was insane. "By any chance, are ya on drugs?"
"Nope!" She walked over and placed her arm over Adria's shoulders. "I'm just happy that my bestest buddy has the coolest B.F. in history! besides 2D."
"Darlin', ya a li'l too 'appy."
"So?"
"So, ya a bit creepy."
"Oh, look who's talkin', Mr.I'm-Satanic-And-I-Like-To-Set-Cats-On-Fire!"
Noodle and 2D began laughing.
"Okay, what idiot puts this stuff on the website?"
"Then what's so wrong about me being happy all the time-NOODLE!"
"This girl's fuckin' weird."
Cora ran over to Noodle and kneeled down to her level. "You are absolutely adorable!"
Noodle's face turned bright red. "Um, thank you, Cora-san."
Adria walked over to Cora and pulled her up by the back of her shirt. "Okay, Cora. Fun-time's over."
"Aww, come on, fun-spoiler!"
" 'Scuse me! 'Ow old are ya, Cora?"
"Ninetenn."
"Ya act like ya thirteen."
Uh...point?"
"Nevermind."
"You two wanna go shopping with us?" Adria asked her friends.
"Well, we were gonna go to the dance club," Jack began, "but shopping kicks the shit outta our plan. Let's go!"
"Do we 'ave time t' get some restrainin' orders filed first?" 2D mumbled under his breath, not even loud for anyone else but himself to hear.
"That's good. Cora, just don't pounce on 2D; you kinda scare him."
"Adria, I LOVE ya!"
"Back off, double-dents!" Murdoc growled.
Well, there you go! Another chapter, done with plenty of hilarity and surprises. And, I'm sad to say that this is the second-to-last chapter of the story. I'll need plenty of reviews to see if people want me to give Adria's story the grand finale she deserves, so don't let me down! This, I think, is one of the longest chapter I've ever done for the story, but if it isn't, I could really care less. Oh, well! Stay tuned, for the grand conclusion of SUNSHINE IN THE GRAVEYARD! Catch y'all later!
(PS-At the end of the last chapter, you'll each get a sneak-peak at SUNSHINE IN THE GRAVEYARD 2, so stay tuned!)
