Sasameki Koto: Legend of Akihabara
When bunny girls attack!
The two women hurried down the street, the taller girl gently tugging on the other's hand. "We've got to hurry," Sumika Murasame urged her companion.
"I'm going as fast as I can," Azusa Aoi panted as they raced down an alley in Akihabara. "This is all your fault, Sumika," she added wryly.
"How is it my fault?" Sumika complained good naturedly.
"Well, you kept running around rescuing women in trouble then not sticking around to be thanked," Azusa noted, "you had to expect there would be consequences."
"But not this," Sumika said, peering around a corner at the mob of young women.
There must have been over a hundred young ladies in the crowd, all wearing various types of bunny girl costumes. Several were also carrying signs saying, "The great Sumika Murasame hunt is on! Gather here for details!"
"You have to admit, it's a interesting Easter event," Azusa offered mildly.
"I thought on Easter you were supposed to find bunnies," Sumika sighed, "not have the bunnies chasing you."
"There she is!" someone yelled.
"Come on," Azusa said, the two bolting away from the milling young women.
The streets of Akihabara were crowded as usual, with otaku, cosplayers and others, but there seemed to be bunny girls on every corner looking for Sumika. Worse, the regular residents of the street were getting into the act, shouting encouragement to the hunting girls.
"In here," Sumika picked a cafe seemingly at random, the two women heading inside.
"Welcome home, Master," Konata Izumi noted, the blue haired girl dressed in her Haruhi Suzumiya costume. She smiled slightly, "Come on in."
"Oooh, Haruhi!" Azusa smiled, "You look so cute!"
"Your Brigade Leader is not cute," Konata said with mock sternness.
Thankfully the women in the little cosplay cafe didn't seem to know about the ongoing hunt, so Sumika and Azusa could relax a bit. "So, she's cosplaying as...?" Sumika murmured the question.
"You haven't heard of Haruhi?" Azusa looked at her, aghast.
"Up until I met Ushio I was just heavily into karate and my studies," Sumika shrugged slightly.
"Fair enough," Azusa conceded then explained the Haruhi series concept, etc etc. It took some time, and they were visited by their Brigade Leader several times to get drinks, food and at least one cheerful lecture.
"Someone saw them come up here!" a voice called from the hallway.
"Oh hell," Sumika whimpered.
"What's going on?" the girl in the Mikuru outfit asked innocently.
"Long story," Konata said as she opened up a side door to the cafe. "I assume you two want to avoid them?" she told Sumika pointedly.
"Thank you," Azusa said as they hurried out, leaving a generous tip on the table.
"Good luck!" Konata said as they hurried away.
Sumika and Azusa pounded down the stairs, then headed up the street. They passed maids advertizing cafes and men in tuxedos trying to charm the girls, but both were focused on trying to keep ahead of their opponents. Well, mostly focused.
"Hey, that's a woman in that tuxedo," Azusa noted, mildly distracted. "Have you ever...?"
"Now is not the time," Sumika said as they took another turn.
Sadly, they ran right into a brigade of the bunny girls. "Sumika-sama!" one girl cried, her skin darkened in the kogal style.
Sumika skidded to a stop then dodged sideways with instincts sharpened by karate training. The kogal tripped on Azusa and went down, then the two girls burst through the group before they could grab them.
Azusa looked around then spotted a familiar shop. "In here," she hissed to Sumika as they ducked into the shop.
A tall brown haired woman stood behind the counter, smiling at them pleasantly. "Welcome to Maniac Road," she started.
"Miss Haruna," Azusa dragged Sumika inside as she said, "hide us!"
The tall girl didn't even bat an eyes as she said, "Behind the counter."
Sumika crouched behind the counter along with Azusa, as a group of bunnies entered a few moments later. "Did you see two girls run by?" the leader asked.
"Yes," Haruna lied cheerfully as she pointed up the street, "they ran that way."
"Thanks!" the girl responded as the band raced off.
Haruna looked down to where the girls were sitting by her legs and noted, "Well, that was exciting. What's going on?"
Retiring to a back room Sumikla and Azusa explained what was happening, even as Azusa explained that she was a regular customer at the shop, which was why Haruna hid them. "Thank you very much," Sumika sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"I see," Haruna nodded, "I thought this was just a fun event, I didn't realize no one asked you."
"I think everyone just got carried away," Azusa agreed, sighing.
"Well, if I could just get out of Akihabara, I'd be fine," Sumika said gloomily, "but there's just too many of them."
"Well," Haruna mused, "the best place to hide a tree is in the forest, so..."
Azusa's eyes widened, "Of course, why didn't I think of that!"
"Huh?" Sumika blinked, looking between the two ladies suspiciously.
"Follow me," Haruna grinned, the three heading out of the shop. They stuck to back alleys and reached the back store of the shop, in which Haruna knocked briskly.
"Haruna-chan!" the short haired woman cried, barely coming up to Sumika's shoulder. She took in Sumika and froze, "My god, she's handsome!"
"Down, Satsuki," Haruna ordered her friend. She looked at Sumika, "Satsuki runs Maid Cafe Latte, and I was thinking you could borrow a few of their maid's uniforms."
"I am not dressing as a maid," Sumika blushed.
"It'd be fun!" Azusa declared. "Besides, who in Akihabara would notice yet another maid? We'll sneak out of town easily."
"She's right," Haruna agreed.
"Or we could put you in a tux," Satsuki suggested, getting a slightly dreamy look.
"No, we are not pandering to your kinks today," Haruna said to her firmly, "save it for inflicting on your staff."
"Meany," Satsuki pouted.
Sumika decided she just didn't want to know. "All right," she conceded, "I'll wear the maid outfit if I must."
"Come on," Satsuki lead Sumika and Azusa inside.
"Good luck," Haruna waved, trotting off back to her shop.
It was a surprisingly quick process to get both young women into the maid outfits, and it appeared that Satsuki had lots of practice. It was kind of disturbing how fast she could whip them out of street clothes and into the fancy maid uniforms.
"I suppose I couldn't talk you into working for me?" Satsuki asked as she lead them to the door.
"Sorry, not my thing," Sumika said honestly.
"We'll get the maid uniforms back to you as quickly as possible," Azusa promised as the two girls headed out onto the street again.
There was a close call as they passed a bunny girl carrying a 'Find Sumika, get a kiss' sign, but she didn't seem to notice them. Sumika breathed a sigh of relief as they trotted along, going quickly but not too fast as to not stand out.
"Whew," Sumika sighed softly.
"Not too much farther," Azusa nodded as they passed another maid cafe and a former electronics shop that now specialized in dojin, "we just have to get to the train station."
"Uh oh," Sumika muttered as they saw the crowd of bunny girls milling about the station, "spoke too soon."
"Wow, there have to be at least fifty of them," Azusa noted, blinking.
"Too many to sneak by too," Sumika frowned.
"I think our maid disguise will hold up," Azusa suggested, "just walk by looking confident. We can always say we're on our way home from work."
Sumika looked at the crowd dubiously as she admitted, "Well, I don't have any better plans."
"Just walk normally,' Azusa murmured as they walked closer to the crowd.
"I don't DO skirts, Azusa. I'm trying my best," Sumika answered as they passed the first few scantily clad bunnies.
Just then a shocked voice murmured, "Sumi-chan?"
Sumika turned then froze as she saw Ushio Kazama, the light brown haired girl wearing a skimpy little bathing suit, along with bunny ears and a fluffy tail. "Ushio?" she yelped.
"Sumi you look so cute!" Ushio cried, taking her hands as her breasts bounced in the little cups of cloth that held them back.
"Urk," Sumika groaned as blood streamed from her nose and she hit the ground in a dead faint.
To be continued...?
Notes: This is technically a multicross between Sasameki Koto, Lucky Star, Maniac Road (A manga series) and Maid Sama. I couldn't come up with a good idea for a Easter fic, so 'When Bunny Girls Attack' came to me.
