Author's Note: Well, I'm finally back with chapter two of Someone Stole Yuan's Cape! Yes, I know I told you guys it was a one-shot, but so many people wanted me to continue that I just had to keep writing. Crazybestfriend (aka Kiran) requested to steal Yuan's cape in this chapter, so this is dedicated to her! If any of you want to steal Yuan's cape, just tell me in a review or private message along with how you want to go about stealing his cape. I also got permission from AnnaAurion123 to use Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!) so don't sue me for stealing! The whole thing with Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!) will make more sense if you go read her fics. Trust me, they're hilarious! Now, without any further ado, let's get going with chapter 2!
Disclaimer: I do not own ToS or any of its characters. I do not own Kiran (aka crazybestfriend), and Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!) belongs to AnnaAurion123. Michelle is my best friend in real life, so don't steal her either. Oh, and I don't own Ebay (you'll see why I put this later).
Chapter 2: Kiran Stole Yuan's Cape!
Note: This is written in Michelle's POV because she told me to.
"All right, which one of you did it?" Yuan asks angrily, stalking back and forth in front of us.
"Um…I don't know what you're talking about," Lloyd replies innocently.
"Don't play dumb with me!" Yuan exclaims, stopping just inches from Lloyd's face and pointing a finger at him accusingly. "One of you stole my cape, and (in demonic Yuan voice) I WANT IT BACK!"
We cringe under Yuan's death glare and his demonic voice. Wait, maybe I should explain first. Yuan's cape has gone missing…again, and he's rounded up the usual suspects: me, Lloyd, and Kiran. Right now we're standing outside the Renegade Base undergoing a criminal interrogation. Silvan Arrow and Kratos are standing off to the side sweat-dropping at the absurdity of the situation.
First Yuan paces to stand in front of me and says, "Michelle, it was you last time, so you're the most likely suspect. Now (in demonic Yuan voice) WHERE'S MY CAPE!"
I sigh and reply, "If I had stolen it, I would be wearing it. Dude, I don't know where your security capey is, so stop accusing me!"
"She does have a point, Yuan," Silvan Arrow interjects. "I haven't seen her with it, so I really don't think she stole it."
"Fine. I'll move on to the next suspect," Yuan says, moving on to Lloyd. "All right, Lloyd, I'm gonna ask you this nice and slow so even you can understand. (In demonic Yuan voice) WHERE'S MY CAPE!"
Lloyd's eyes get wide with fear, and he gulps. "IT WASN'T ME, I SWEAR! WHY DO I ALWAYS GET BLAMED FOR THESE THINGS!" he exclaims. He glances at Kratos and cries, "Dad, help me out here! Don't let him cast Indignation!"
Kratos sighs and states, "Yuan, I've been with Lloyd all day, and I can personally guarantee that he has not stolen your cape."
"Then that only leaves one possible suspect," Yuan says, moving on to Kiran. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Kiran. (In demonic Yuan voice) WHERE'S MY CAPE!"
Kiran grins and looks him in the eye for several long moments. And then…pokes him. "Poke!" she says. Yuan blinks. Kiran pauses and then pokes him some more before bursting out laughing. "HAHAHAHAHA! It's fun poking you! Poke. Poke. Poke."
Just then Yuan decides to go into one of his lost-cape-induced mood swings. He runs over to Kratos, grips him by the shoulders, shakes him, and wails, "KRATOS, MAKE THEM GIVE MY CAPEY BACK!" He then starts crying and sobbing on his shoulder.
Kratos is once again completely weirded out by this whole turn of events. He pats Yuan awkwardly on the head and says, "Um…there, there. It's gonna be all right. We'll get your cape back." Yuan just cries louder.
Kiran takes this opportunity to finally fess up. "I admit it! I stole the cape! And I'd do it again too!" She then laughs maniacally and holds up the stolen cape. "Behold! The stolen cape! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Lloyd asks in disbelief, "How'd she get it?"
Kiran replies with a grin, "Oh my dear Lloyd, let me explain. It's actually quite simple." I feel a flashback coming on…
Flashback (Yep, I was right.)
Yuan is walking through the Renegade Base, minding his own business. Sadly, that is about to change. Somehow Kiran has managed to infiltrate the base (How she did it we'll never know.) and has one objective in mind: steal Yuan's cape. She grabs a flower vase from a nearby pedestal and proceeds down the hall looking for Yuan. She finds him in another small room going over some maps. She sneaks up silently behind him, raises the flower vase above her head, and…SMASH! Kiran breaks the flower vase over Yuan's head! He looks dazed for a moment, staggers a few steps, and falls down face-first unconscious. Kiran promptly snatches Yuan's cape and holds it triumphantly over her head. "At last I have succeeded in the ultimate capenapping! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She then proceeds to make her speedy getaway out of the Renegade Base.
Yuan wakes up ten minutes later to the sound of intruder alarms blaring all over the base. "Ugh…what happened?" he asks in a groggy delirium as he staggers to his feet. "And why does my head hurt so much?" Hearing the alarms, he realizes with a start that his cape is gone! "No…this can't be…" he mutters in disbelief. "SOMEONE STOLE MY CAPE!"
And somewhere…off in the distance…one could hear the soft chirping of a cricket. Dun, dun, dun!
End flashback
Upon hearing Kiran's confession of guilt, Yuan instantly lets go of Kratos and springs to within inches of her face. "GIVE BACK MY CAPE!" he exclaims in his demonic voice.
"Oh this cape?" Kiran asks innocently, holding it up just out of his reach. "But I wanted to see if it was fire-resistant." She pulls a lighter out of her pocket, lights it, and holds it up against the cape. The cape instantly catches fire, much to Yuan's horror. "Oh! So it is flammable after all!" She lets go of the cape so as not to get burnt, but Yuan grabs it before it hits the ground.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Yuan screams. He runs over to Kratos, holding the burning cape. "Kratos, put it out! Put it out!"
"Sorry, Yuan, but I don't know any water spells," Kratos replies, trying to hide an amused smirk.
Yuan runs around in circles panicking and holding his flaming cape. "SOMEBODY PUT IT OUT! SOMEBODY SAVE MY CAPEY! CAST TIDAL WAVE FOR PITY'S SAKE!"
"Uh…Genis is the only one we know who can use water spells, and he isn't here right now," Silvan Arrow points out.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yuan screams in agony as the cape turns to ashes. He sinks to his knees and picks up the ashes before falling to ground weeping.
But then…
'Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.' DUN, DUN, DUN!
Yuan jerks his head up and looks frantically from side to side. "No… (chirp). It can't be (chirp). Not again (chirp)." ENTER SQUISHEY'S GHOST! DUN, DUN, DUN! WEARING THE GHOST OF YUAN'S CAPE! DUN, DUN, DUN! Yuan's eyes widen in horror as he sees Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!) hovering before him, wearing his ghost cape.
"It's my pet cricket Squishey!" Kiran squeals in delight. "I missed you!" Squishey chirps in reply.
Yuan stares at Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!).
Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!) stares back.
Yuan passes out.
"Um…pudding?" Kiran offers, holding a bowl of pudding in front of Yuan's face. Once again, I don't know how she got the pudding. She mutters, "Maybe I should have told him that the cape I burned was just a replica."
"Where did you get a replica of Yuan's cape?" Lloyd asks.
"Um…Ebay?" Kiran replies.
I suggest, "Uh…Kiran, maybe you should give his cape back before he dies of grief."
Kiran sighs. "I guess you're right. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted." She pulls out the real cape and tosses it on Yuan's face.
Yuan immediately comes back to life and sits up holding his cape. "MY CAPEY! DON'T WORRY, DADDY'S HERE!" He huggles the cape as tears of joy flow from his eyes (A/N: Yes, I know technically angels can't cry, but work with me here.). He stands up and puts his cape back on. "And now I must punish your crime," he states calmly as he begins to chant an incantation. "Sacred powers, cast your light upon this corrupted soul. Die, cape thieves! JUDGEMENT!"
We all scatter and run away screaming as beams of light shower from the sky…well, except for Kratos. Lloyd ducks behind Kratos and screams, "SAVE ME! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
Kratos mutters, "Another happy ending."
End chapter 2
