"The five knights, the princess and the undefined carrot."
"Hello, everyone!"
Everyone along the table shot their glances toward the entrance at the instant the whiny voice echoed the room.
And there was Ayame, the carefree owner of the place they have been working in at. He was dressed in another alarming wardrobe, that wasn't a surprise. What wrapped his top was a red printed jacket having golden buttons, a furred neckline and two long tails at the back of it. White jeans draped his lower body as sandy brown boots dressed his pedals. Oh, and what was horrid about him this time was his perfectly curled hair which was half pulled up in a ribbon matching the prints of his red jacket.
Everyone stared in shock, their spoons halfway frozen before their mouths, except for little Youichi who had just come out of the comfort room. He stared plainly at Ayame, who in turn had glittery eyes, seeing a cute boy like him in the place.
"Who is that idiot?" the little kid asked, staring unflappably back at him.
Tsubasa and Yuu both had dropped jaws while Koko smiled at the scene. Natsume and Ruka just continued their meal while Yuki quickly sprangled off his chair and fetched Youichi.
"Mr. Ayame!" Yuki cried while running, raising Youichi both hands toward Ayame's direction, "Little Youichi didn't mean a single thing!"
Ayame in turn was swaying rapidly and weakly, a big arrow pierced right through his heart. He was acting more like an idiot by the way his eyes turned teensy small and spiral alternatively.
"What's the problem with him? That Kyo guy had called him idiot yesterday and he didn't even bother overreact," Tsubasa said with a popped vein on his forehead indicating he was a little pissed. He licked his plate clean and stood up, "I'll take the bar today, Ruka."
"How can... a little kid call me...idiot. He's... still supposed to be in the state of tabula rasa!," Koko said after a lot of effort reading Ayame's swirling mind. (f.y.i. tabula rasa means blank slate which further means "in innocent state")
Yuki, who had always been very fretful, panicked while his other friends followed Tsubasa, ignoring their boss who was in a state of idiocracy shock. (f.y.i. idiocracy's just a made up guys...supposed to mean stupidity)
"Come on! Everybody! Mr. Ayame is fainting! Youichi... please say you're sorry."
Youichi shot him a death glare similar to one of Natsume's and quickly hopped off his grasp and fled to his chair to finish his omelet.
"A band of stoics!" Yuki huffed with a sweat drop and turned to Ayame, finding him holding a piece of fork close to his carotid pulse.
"Mr. Tomodachi!!!!!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Everyone else glanced back and saw the situation on slow motion mode. Yuki was running hastily towards the gray haired idiot who was swaying the fork and about to plunge it in his fatal part. The purple haired guy had finally grabbed the lethal weapon, yet accidentally tripping on a spoon, sending him to fall right on their boss. For a split second, Yuki saw himself lying on top of the stupefied Ayame, and right then, a loud explosion deafened them all.
-
After a few minutes...
"Is everyone alright?!" Yuu yelled, fanning the smoke away from its source.
What happened? Mikan thought as she felt the cool surface of marble with her right hand, and some abandoned cloth tangled at her left. Wait a second...
"Mr. Ayame?" Yuki stuttered in pale lips as the others scanned the room.
"Hey. He was here a minute ago," Tsubasa said, walking fast towards the entrance and stopped just before reaching outside, "Not a speck of him."
"He must've left," Yuu suggested, forcing a laugh.
"Leaving his clothes and shoes behind," Ruka added with plain eyes in evident suspicion.
Natsume heard this and glanced at the ditched clothes the petrified Yuki was holding. How? he thought, sensing some aura nearing him.
Still crumpling the clothes in his arms, Yuki stood up and freaked out, "What did I do?! What did I do?!" he cried, peeping at the holes of the textile. "Mr. Ayame! Where are you?!" He again sank to the floor and nearly fainted.
"Calm down. You didn't do anything." Natsume said, shoving his hands in his pockets, "Nothing's impossible in this place."
"That's right."
Natsume flinched and quickly glanced to where the voice had come from...
and as expected...
Kyo appeared standing behind Tsubasa, his hands shoved in his pockets, too, "You can give me those now, Yuki."
The raven haired boy's brows furrowed at the sight of him and Kyo gave him a easing look.
Yuki noticed Natsume's eyes, yet he quickly gave the bundle to Kyo and retreated to do his job when the orange haired guy quickly grabbed his hand.
Natsume who was about to resume, stopped halfway from pacing his foot and stared at Kyo's hand at the corner of his eye.
Kyo stood still, squeezing Yuki's arm lightly as he stared him straight in the eyes.
"Is there something you want, Sir Kyo?" Yuki asked with a plain face. He was half proud of himself that he had dealt with his irregular heartbeats in just one night, thanks to Natsume, yet part of him was still worried about their boss.
"I need someone to go with me for some errands."
oxoxo
"Take that."
Tug!
"This one."
Tug! TUg!
"Pull it! Careful!"
Yuki huffed and puffed, pulling hard on the huge sack until his efforts were answered as the whole pyramid of sugar sacks broke down, all falling on him, squeezing him like a pancake flat on the floor. Everyone else glanced at their direction and just sighed. Them again?
Looking at his situation, Kyo blinked at him, "You're so pathetic."
Yuki puffed his cheeks as he heaved himself up, tossing a bag of sugar on top of the huge pile of groceries which crowded the whole lot. He didn't bother reply to the insult for indeed, he was. It was his sixth bad fall and to think this one was a bit gentler compared to the last one where he accidentally ran down the grocery cart into a mountain of Spanish sardines, Spam and Corned beef. Pathetic was the perfect term for him, whether Mikan was girl or boy.
"So what more do you need?" the purple-haired fellow asked after he regained his position at the stern of the cart, his face filled with scratches and band aids which appeared out of nowhere.
Kyo just stared at him, his arms crossed at the back of his head as he stood beside his companion, calmly.
"That's enough," Kyo finally answered but stopped the front of the cart when Yuki pushed it, "Leave it there."
Yuki's eyes twitched in confusion, "But you-"
"Oh come on... You actually thought I'm gon'na buy all those stupid stuff? " he said nonchalantly, shoving his hands in his pockets and walking ahead, leaving the pissed off Yuki with fat vein pops all over his steaming head.
oxoxox
Tsubasa stormed in the kitchen door with a red, steamy and vein-popped face, his right hand clutching a notepad filled with withdrawn orders,
"Natsume! This's your sixth burnt omelet and the customers are all shrieking with the vetsin you've been putting as frostings on their cheese cakes!!! Your chocolate shake tastes like horse grass and your iced tea tastes like dick! How could you claim the kitchen when you don't now how to cook even for crap after all!!!!!" he was about to blabber another batch when his tongue was caught by the very dark death glare that the raven-haired boy shot him.
"Get out or i'll make iced tea with yours."
Without another word, Tsubasa pivoted on his heel as goose bumps crept his lumbar and he quickly skipped out of he kitchen, forcing a calm face when Ruka almost bumped on him.
"Everyone's clearing out, Tsubasa!" the blonde told him with a nervous face as his bunny reflected his emotion. "Where's Nats-"
But he wasn't able to finish his sentence for Tsubasa just brushed past him with a silly face. He quickly glanced back for a look on his best friend yet was no longer surprised with the usual stare Natsume answered him.
Sigh. "Should I tell them to close down?"
oxoxox
"Are you deaf or are you just trying to piss me off?!!!" Yuki shrieked as he as he occasionally stumbled on a few strong currents that had carried his bare foot as he tried to keep up with the carrot-head.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!"
He was carrying his shoes with one hand and was raising his pants with the other, trying to avoid his pants on getting wet, "You brought me to the grocery, made me fetch a pile of stuff and turned out just buying a piece of mint! You made me go all the way up an eleven-storey stock company with , just for you to throw your wrapper at the rooftop! Then you made me count all those people who wore the best Chucks while we sat along the sidewalk, pretending to be beggars because you said you'd buy the most famous one, and make me produce a list of it, and then just losing it down the drain! Are these what you call ERRANDS??!!" Missing a rock, Yuki tumbled, feeling something squishy at his souls with a loud splash.
"And what are we supposed to do in this drain?!"
Kyo whistled as he glanced around the dark place with his flash light. "We're looking for the list you made of course. I want those famous Chucks badly."
Yuki steamed. "I ALREADY TOLD YOU!!! WE DON'T NEED THE LIST IDIOT!!!"
Kyo immediately stopped and turned to him. "Alright, forget about the list."
At last, Yuki sighed as he was about to turn back from were they came from, but was thunderstruck when he felt Kyo's arm heave him right down the shallow, sticky water.
"FWHAT VTHE HELL ARFE VYOU VOING??!!"
"Swimming out of here of course!"
oxoxox
"They're gone!!!"
The sky was getting a little darker than usual as cumulonimbus clouds started to flood the sky. Slowly, drizzle had fallen from above, lightly sprinkling the monuments and windows free from dust.
"What? How come?"
"It just stopped. I don't know."
"Maybe the rain did something to it."
The small press powder which had a small TV screen showed the last image taken from the carrot head with Yuki whining on something, then the image suddenly blurred and the live-camera died with a hissing sound.
"No. The bug must've freaked again."
Natsume bit his lower lip when Ruka gave him an apologetic look. The pressed powder TV which was Hotaru's gift forhim actually had a camera bug with it, and obviously, something must have happened to the bug.
"The last signal before stopped was them quarreling at a dark place."
Dark place??? This sent Natsume's hairs to rise in alert.
oxoxox
"Pwaah!!!" Yuki panted heavily when he was able to come out the water once again. He panted heavily, gasping for air and immediately felt the clog in his throat. He felt he had swallowed gallons of that murky water and he sure was going to stab Kyo right through the heart the next time he would see him, but when he opened his eyes, he totally forgot about the scheme when the grayish-white sky greeted his eyes as it was partially blurred by the droplets of rain.
"We're no longer under the drain!!!" he screamed in joy after he glanced at the surroundings.
"All drains lead to rivers idiot," Kyo's icy voice suddenly tickled his ears and he jumped away, realizing Kyo was right at his back, holding his waist. "Don't worry a thing. That up there wasn't a drainage at all. Just a water vessel connecting the river to this artificial river.
Yuki stared at him with teed off eyes. I don't understand.
The pale-faced boy was immediately surprised when Kyo suddenly took of his shirt and threw it far away to the grass, next flew away his pants and his boxers as he motioned near Yuki with a smile on his face.
"Come on!"
-
"Come on!" a shrill voice sounded from the press powder, sending them all to scramble around it.
"The bug's back!!!"
"Flashlight! Flashlight!
"What do you mean come on?! And where he hell are your clothes??!!!"came a familiar voice which sent Natsume to snatch the screen away from Yuu's hands. Ruka quickly aimed the flashlight towards the screen.
-
"Of course they're there. Let's just let it dry a bit."
"It's raining you moron!" Mikan blabbered, inching away from Kyo who had been swimming nearer.
"Well. Come on... A little swim won't hurt! Come on, take that jacket of yours off if you don't want to catch a cold."
"Get off me!"
"Come on! You gay?!"
Both were wrestling each other as Kyo tried to remove Yuki's top. The water splashed as Yuki tried his best to go out of the water with Kyo heaving him back...
AND ALAS!
A loud SPLASH! ended it...
, revealing Kyo swirling Yuki's jacket over his head, teasing the now horrified Yuki.
"See?! No harm done!"
-
"Holy shit," Yuu uttered with white eyes, while the others- Ruka, Tsubasa and Koko all had dropped jaws at the sight of Yuki's bare flesh.
"Son of a... Wait Natsume you have to see this.. Hey where's Natsume?!"
He was nowhere to be found.
And after a pause... a very loud and ear piercing scream burst out from the small speaker of the press powder which almost broke it. And it was obviously Mikan's.
That was a long one isn't it? Okay, so now i gotta know how you feel...
I think I deserve a lot of reviews on this chapter. I really exerted a lot of effort getting it done...
I'm a bit troubled by where this is going to because i think a lemon would come up...and the rating's still on T.. SO... I 'might' change the rating when it's coming just to be safe... but well, it would of course depend on you guys...i wouldn't want to put in lemons if my readers aren't that mature yet and really don't like em around you know...
So Q: SHOULD I PUT A LEMON AND CHANGE THE RATING OR NOT?
if I get fifteen replies as to 'with lemon', i'll do my best... But that is... if I'd see more than fifteen replies...
just reply in your reviews please...
cOmmentS? SuggestiOns? any impOrtant matters tO discuss? just PM me guys...
