This is a fluffy chapter because I wanted to make it so. Most of the readers that read my Naruto fanfics loved fluffy so I want to write some into this story. I'm so happy that I actually had three reviews for the last chapter! -dances- Thank you and thank you again!
mankinfan: I'm sorry! I unconsciously do that a lot. We haven't covered the subject of show don't tell very well yet, we're getting to that second quarter. Have mercy on the eighth grader! -ducks under table as her english teacher throws books- But yes, I have a few issues with show don't tell. I'll ask my teacher about that. Thank you, all constructive criticism is loved!
XBloodANBUKakashiX: Hey! I know you. You wrote a few RenXHoro stories I liked.
Thanks Mankinfan for sticking to reviewing this story! It seems that you're the only one consistantly reading and reviewing each chapter. O.o LovingMonday also!
"For some reason, I think that video is in the wrong hands." Ren said.
He set down the bar for his bench press and sat up, wiping the sweat off his shoulders and forehead.
"Bason."
"Hai, Bochamma?" the warlord asked.
"We're going to the play." he said. "Despite how much it isn't worth it on a weekend, it is of less worth to be punished by father; and especially mother. Now that they've seen the singing scene, they'll ask for a copy of the whole play. I know it. Come."
"Hai."
Ren got his coat and left the house with the wind blowing cool air around him. He met up with Horohoro along the way, but the Ainu didn't talk or look at him while they walked alongside each other. The younger found it strange that his friend, who usually didn't shut up, wasn't talking.
"Ainu-baka."
The Usui's head snapped up at the sharp voice, surprised at the sudden break in silence.
"Yeah?"
Ren didn't look at him as they continued to walk.
"You haven't spoken more than a few words. Your unusually loud mouth has quieted." the violet haired shaman turned to him. "What happened? Are you ill?"
"No, not really." Horohoro said. "Just that... things you see can really change the way you view what you have."
"Really? I'd have never expected intelligent words from that mouth of yours." Ren said.
His friend rolled his eyes and held open the door.
"You probably wouldn't want to know what I saw that made me say that." he said. "Besides, do you actually want me to talk?"
They walked down the corridors and into the auditorium that was almost empty aside from a few band and stage students.
"Why is it so empty?" Ren asked.
"Today we do the kissing and death scenes." Dr. Thespian said, his voice echoing. "I was very sure that you didn't want anybody to see this, so I avoided having as many students as possible."
So he does have some mercy in that dark heart of his. The Tao thought, turning to face the drama teacher/blackmail specialist.
"Alright, we're going to shadow you out so you two will be silouhetted. Then if your friends ask, you can say whatever you want." the director said. "You guys aren't going to kiss, but you probably won't want to do it again, so we'll be recording it for the movie. I'll have a stage hidden next to either of you that will give you a signal so you know when to stop. But before that, dress for the death scene. We'll only rehearse that one because it's a normal scene. And don't worry, if any one of these students spread rumors about this, I have hand-picked, honest, Honor students, like yourself Romeo, to catch and report them."
"We're ready." Horohoro said, rolling his eyes once more. "Let's get it over with..."
Ren was already lying down on the stone bench, his hand lying out and the empty vial on the floor.
"Alright, begin."
Ren closed his eyes and lay still. That was all he had to do for that scene for now. Horohoro obviously wasn't putting a lot of thought into it as he spoke his lines.
"Romeo, dear Romeo. To lie dead amongst the rest," he kneeled on one knee and took his hand. "I hope that you will reunite with me in heaven. Let the fates have mercy on my soul and send me after you."
He, as Paris, stood up and retrieved a daggar from his waist and dramatically paused, before stabbing his own neck. Quite literally.
"Ow!" Horohoro yelled. "I didn't know this was real! That hurt."
Ren sat up, his eyes open wide, not as Romeo, but as Ren.
"Baka! What did you do this time?" he asked.
"I cut my neck. Not like on my vein or something, but it still hurt!"
"Stop! My gosh!" Dr. Thespian said. "My Paris! What have you done? Somebody get a towel!"
"Forget it." Ren said, stopping the stages. "I have medical supplies in my backpack. Stay where you are."
The Chinese shaman hopped off the stage, got the supplies and hopped back on.
"Sit down." he demanded.
Wincing at the tone the younger gave, Horohoro immediately sat down on the bench and Ren sat down next to him, unaware of the stares everybody was giving.
"Stay still or I'll hit you." Ren said. "Bite your lip if you want."
Horohoro nodded, earning himself a smack.
"Ow..." he said. "OW!"
Ren had applied the cotton soaked with alchohol to his wound right after hitting the Ainu upside the head, then he wrapped the linen around his neck and secured it. The snowboarder pouted, obviously not happy with being stung with disinfectant.
"You're so mean." Horohoro said.
The Ainu had to resist the urge to bang his head on the floor due to the completely insane infactuation thoughts that were running through his mind.
"Are we ready to go on?" Ren asked. "We're silouhetted for the next scene, so I assume that we're going to get it over with."
The drama teacher nodded, seeing that Horohoro was okay, as the Chinese shaman hopped off the stage with Horohoro to put the medical supplies away and let the stages change the set.
"Actors?" he called.
Ren and Horohoro raised their hands.
"Camera?"
The green haired student at the camera raised his hand.
"Stages?"
The stages unseen in the background clapped their hands twice.
"Hidden stages?"
The two stages raised their hands. The one near Horohoro lying hidden behind a fountain, the one near Ren was squatting behind a rather large bush.
"Alright, action!"
The camera student started recording as the two of them inched closer ever-so slowly. After they had gotten a certain proximity away, they moved forward diagonally to avoid actually kissing each other and the camera raised his hand. The hidden stages saw this and Horohoro's signal was a touch to his ankle, Ren's stage helper had lost balance and fell forward, hitting the wound on the back of his knee. He let out a silent gasp in pain, as he too, fell forward. Horohoro caught his waist so he could avoid falling with him, but as he caught his friend, he was shocked at the result.
B-bmp
With dark blushes staining their cheeks, Horohoro was holding on to Ren's waist with the younger's hands on his chest as lips met lips on the set.
I think I'll put Lyserg in the next chapter. With his name. Here he had no name. O.o Mankinfan, your long waited wait is over! I'm very sure this ending was bad... I've seen a lot better in other people's stories, and for that I apologize. I'm sorry that the updates are so slow, I'm in a tough time right now and I bet you guys don't wanna hear about it, so I won't explain. Thank you my reviewers, I hope you will still be here when I begin updating again.
