here it is; chapter twelve of my first ever 'Wedding Peach' fanfiction, 'The Love Angel and the Dark-Hearted Devil'. the title may be a direct parody of the classic fairytale of 'Beauty and the Beast', but the storyline is actually a loose re-telling of the anime series of 'Wedding Peach' from Yousuke Fuuma's point of view. this twelfth chapter is a full one-thousand-three-hundred words worth of pure storyline with no interruptions like comments from me disguised as author's notes, save for the headnote, right here, followed by the disclaimer that always goes in right after the headnote paragraph. this very chapter also happens to be based upon, you guessed it, the twelfth episode of the anime series of 'Wedding Peach'. I've never once read the manga and have devoted myself to the 'Wedding Peach' anime series entirely when it comes down to it. now on to the disclaimer...
disclamation: I don't own the anime or the manga series of 'Wedding Peach' in any way, shape, or form. I don't know who owns either one of the series, but it sure ain't me. I am a humble fanfiction blogger on this very website and an author of other types of stories on the Internet, specifically on websites such as WattPad.
So, I was just taking my daily afternoon nap in the nurse's office when I suddenly heard someone talking in there. They were pretty loud, too.
Person in the nurse's office: Oh, it's all happening just as Reiko predicted it would.
Upon hearing their voice a lot closer, I realized that it was none other than Momoko Hanasaki who was talking about Captain Yanagiba after he had just taken her into the nurse's office.
Momoko Hanasaki: Our meeting was perfect. All I have to do now is be wary of people who might get in the way. If I can just do that, Captain Yanagiba and I will fall in love and be together forever.
With that, I made my presence there all too known.
Yours Truly: Ugh, like that'll ever happen.
Momoko seemed to have heard me by then.
Momoko Hanasaki: Who's there?
I opened up the curtain between her bed in the nurse's office and mine.
Yours Truly: I can't tell you how funny this is.
Momoko then turned around to face me upon hearing what I had said.
Momoko Hanasaki: Yousuke!
I still had my eyes closed from shortly after Momoko's loud voice had awoken me from my afternoon nap.
Yours Truly: You and Captain Yanagiba falling in love forever?
Momoko had then begun scolding me over circumstances that were not even within my control in the first place.
Momoko Hanasaki: You shouldn't go around eavesdropping on people.
I guess that it was up to me to explain just what I was even doing in the nurse's office by the time she came in with the captain.
Yours Truly: Hey, you're the loudmouth who woke me up from my afternoon nap.
Of course, Momoko would not even hear any of it from me whatsoever.
Momoko Hanasaki: Well, you're completely in the way, Yousuke. This is supposed to be my long-awaited chance for a moment alone with Yanagiba.
Yours Truly: Why the heck do you wanna go out with Captain Yanagiba so much, anyway? I gotta tell ya, it baffles me.
Of course, I already knew the answer with which she would most likely provide me, especially since I knew the captain and looked up to him like a hero. But I had always believed that the captain could do so much better than her, especially considering just what Momoko had tried to do to me thereafter.
That is correct. Momoko Hanasaki had tried to hit me with the pillow from the nurse's office bed on which she was at the time. I had managed to catch it, though.
Momoko Hanasaki: Of course, it baffles someone like you who's totally clueless when it comes to romance and charm and what makes a woman happy.
Oh, I was the clueless one? That Momoko had no idea even of the meaning of the word. So, I tossed the pillow right back at her while replying to her comment.
Yours Truly: I'll show you who's clueless.
Momoko Hanasaki: Bring it on, ya little dweeb!
Momoko and I got into a fist fight using the pillow thereafter. We had almost failed to hear and see someone else come into the nurse's office with the ice that Captain Yanagiba had promised her. The only thing about the ice was that it was not Yanagiba who was bringing it into the nurse's office. It was none other than Momoko's own friends from the newspaper club, Hinagiku Tamano and Yuri Tanima.
Oh yeah, I had actually managed to forget that those two were just as hopelessly in love with the captain as Momoko, herself, was.
Hinagiku Tamano: Sorry, Momoko. The jig is up.
It sounded a lot like Hinagiku was on just as to hers and Yuri's friend, Momoko, as I was. I admit that they were planning to stop Momoko's plans for Captain Yanagiba for different reasons than I was, but I at least knew that they were on to their friend. They had pretty lousy timing, though, especially since I was just about ready to tell Momoko that I knew more about other people's feelings than she thought I had.
Momoko Hanasaki: Get out of here, Yousuke!
Momoko, herself, had failed to notice the both of her friends come in and hit her friend, Hinagiku, with the pillow that she had aimed at me. Since she was the one carrying the ice that Yanagiba had gotten for her friend, Hinagiku dropped the ice bowl when she had been hit and the water from it fell onto Yuri. Hinagiku just groaned and covered her nose.
Hinagiku Tamano: An accident.
The way that the lime-green-haired girl had said that, one would think that she saw it coming. Yuri, herself, wore a casual expression in response to having gotten completely soaked by the ice water from the bowl of ice.
Yuri Tanima: Like Venus, I am beauty born from out of the water.
I had not really meant for the two of them to get wet or get hurt. Needless to say, I was pretty desperate to see whether or not Yuri and Hinagiku were doing well.
Yours Truly: Oh, geez. You two, are you OK?
Momoko apparently saw the mistake she had made in hitting Hinagiku with that pillow.
Momoko Hanasaki: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Hinagiku. I promise you that I meant to hit Yousuke with that pillow, honest.
Then, Momoko suddenly seemed to feel a moment of clarity.
Momoko Hanasaki (continued): Wait a minute. Hinagiku, you had your accident just now when I hit you with that pillow.
Hinagiku suddenly got up from her position on the floor, along with Yuri.
Hinagiku Tamano: Huh?
Yuri Tanima: No, she's right. And I had my own misfortune involving water, too.
I was thoroughly confused as to just what the three of them were even discussing.
Yours Truly: What are you all talking about, this time?
Momoko, however, did not seem all that interested in telling me what she was talking about with her friends.
Momoko Hanasaki: Just get outta here, Yousuke, like I told you to!
Then, Hinagiku and Yuri seemed angry with me, too, and all three of them chased me out of the nurse's office.
Yours Truly: Geez, if this is the thanks I get for my concerns, I'm never showing you three any sympathy again.
With all three angry at me and chasing me out of the nurse's office, I ran as far away from them as I could.
Yours Truly (continued): Geez, it's getting so that I can't find a place to get away from the three of them anywhere. If that's the case, I might as well head back to soccer practice.
And so, that was just what I had done.
It was a just short while before anything exciting happened on the soccer field. When something did happen on the soccer field, it came in the form of a girl wearing our school's uniform and a black cape crashing through the brick wall.
Girl in uniform with black cape: I hate you! I hate every last one of you!
After crashing through the school's wall, she suddenly began throwing cards at all of the soccer team. I watched her as she knocked every one of the soccer players on the field unconscious one after another. I turned towards the girls who had been spectating our practice, telling them to evacuate the soccer field.
Yours Truly: Get outta here, all of you!
Then, she threw one of her cards at me and knocked me unconscious along with the rest of the soccer team.
