Shiro: This is so fun XD! *flails around crazily*
Kuro:I hope that all of you like this chapter!
Nocturnal: so without further ado... Let's get on with the chapter!
Once we got to the top of the stairs Teto went into some sort of "stealth mode." She stayed very low to the ground and was very quiet.
"No matter what you do... don't get caught! Try to be as discreet as you can,"Teto whispered in a very serious voice.
I looked down at her and sighed,"Yeah I am, like, 6'5, have multiple colored eyes, and I have a blue streak through my hair... Yeah I can totally be discreet."
Nevertheless, I crouched down as low as I could and followed hall was quiet... Too quiet...
We eventually came to a door with white splatters and "Sukone Territory" written on it in blood red letters. I assumed this was the closet because Teto stopped in front of it and started muttering. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a small mirror. She slid it under the door apparently to accomplish something. She then swung open the door.
I peered inside expecting the worst, but no one was there. Instead there was a small note. I walked into the closet and read it.
"Look up."
Me, being the idiot I am, looked up.
"KYAAA!"I screamed as Tei jumped off the ceiling and knocked me down. I heard the door slam and I started freaking out. I'm too young to die! I am only eighteen! If I die now I will never figure out how flexible Teto is!
To my surprise Tei wasn't doing anything. She just sat there with a dumbfounded look on her face,"What did you say?"
I blushed, apparently those thoughts were actually words...oops... That isn't good.
Tei smirked,"So you do like the little brat. That is so cliché. They always have these love at first sight stories. It really bothers me."
"Haha! At least I don't fantasize over someone who I have never met!" I grinned, but quickly stopped once I got the death stare.
"What do you know about me and my Len? Nothing! You know NOTHING!" She grabbed me by the collar of my shirt.
"TEI! COME OUT NOW! I HAVE LEN KAGAMINE HELD HOSTAGE!"
Oh, thank god! I was about to have a mini celebration but Tei didn't look convinced.
"How do I know you are not bluffing? I fell for that earlier, but I will not do it again!" Tei literally growled.
I heard Len's voice voice coming from the other side of the door,"In the same bed, we used to play. Us hand in hand, our hands tied together with thread."
Tei's eyes glazed over when he started singing. She almost seemed possessed as she opened the door of the closet. I tried to get up, but she turned and glared at me.
"Move and die!"
I froze as she walked out. I could hear her talking to Teto very harshly. I moved a little bit and Tei turned to smile at me creepily.
I heard a loud clicking sound and Tei whirled her head around to look at Teto. She started waving her arms frantically and yelling a bunch of gibberish. She made a dive for the Len doll, but She missed and smacked into the wall. I had to stifle a laugh. Teto threw the doll down the hall and came running to me.
"We gotta go!" Teto said quickly before grabbing my head and taking off running.
We ran through several halls and came to a large group of people, they were all wearing pink.
Teto looked like she was about to explode, "WHERE WERE YOU GUYS! We almost died back there and you were just standing here?"
Defoko came out of the crowd, wearing a pink armband, "We were waiting for you to come so we could ambush her!"
Teto made a growling noise and shook her head," Nevermind, but we can go in for a second ru- where is Ted?"
I turned around and stared back down the hall. Before I could stop myself I ran all the way back to the closet. The door was closed and there was an ominous banging sound coming from within. I put my ear to the door.
"No! Don't do that! That isn't supposed to go there! GET AWAY!"
Hehe poor Ted. I stared at the door not sure what to do. Should I open it? I might get attacked if I do, but Ted... Eh, better him than me.
"HELP ME SOMEONE!"
I rolled my eyes and opened the door. Ted tried to run out, but Tei glomped him and tried to drag him back into the closet. I grabbed Ted's hands and started to pull. Tei was surprisingly strong. Then I noticed something funny about Ted... He had on a blonde wig.
"Let go of my Len!"Tei screeched.
"I'M NOT LEN!" Ted kicked his feet frantically.
I saw Teto out of the corner of my eye. She had brought reinforcements.
Teto ran and tackled Tei, but somehow Tei ended up straddling her.
"You will pay for trying to take Len away!" She hissed reaching for something under her skirt. Oh shit! Teto is gonna get it.
Tei surprised me by pulling out a bottle of glue. What? This could get kinky... She laughed like a maniac and dumped it all over Teto.
Teto stared at Tei in shock,"You. got. GLUE. in. my. HAIR!"
They flipped over, and Teto grabbed the glue bottle from Tei squirting it in her face.
Tei howled and tried to push Teto off,"IT'S IN MY EYE!"
"YOU DESERVE IT IN YOUR EYE!" Teto growled fiercely, her voice taking on a rasp.
Another surprise. Teto started to grow wings and she started turning into a beast. I looked around at the others, but they just watches as if this was normal. I think it is time for me to step in...
I walked into the middle of the fight and pulled Tei out of Teto's grasp. I placed her on her own two feet and then hit the pressure points on both sides of her neck putting her to sleep instantly. I was too afraid to turn and look at Teto.
She coughed,"Sorry about that, I got a little carried away."
I was happy to hear her sounding normal. I turned towards her to see her rubbing her eyes furiously.
"AH! IT BURNS!"
I heard Defoko exclaim, "Then stop rubbing it you idiot!"
I picked Teto up and carried her bridal style,"Where is the nearest bathroom?"
Momo spoke up,"Down that hall third door on your left."
I nodded and followed her instructions. I felt like such a knight when I carried Teto like this. I walked down the hall and opened the door to the bathroom. I set Teto down on the stool that was in there for some odd reason and then snatched a paper towel out of the dispenser and dampened it with water. I handed it to Teto.
"Here, this should help,"I smiled kindly at her.
She took it and began wiping the glue out of her then began to wipe it off of her face and tail.
"Thank you very much."She coughed and looked away from me,"Sorry if I, like, freaked you out or something!"
She looked so adorable at the moment. I grabbed her face and gently turned it to make her look at me,"Hey, it's fine. We all have things that are unusual about us. I mean, look at me! I even know a few weird things about myself that no one else does."
I cast my eyes downwards. I didn't really like mentioning my gender. Actually, I hated discussions about my gender and I never discussed it, but if I had to to make Teto feel normal I would. A soft touch on my cheek drew me out of my thoughts and I looked into a pair of pinkish-red eyes.
She broke into a silly grin.
"KYAH! YOU'RE SO CUTE RUKO-TAN~!"She jumped up and hugged me. She caught me off guard and I fell over, dragging her with me. She started rubbing her face against mine, making me blush. I didn't know what to do so I just hugged her back.
"Don't worry Ruko-tan! I accept you no matter what!"She said, squeezing me tightly against her.
"But Teto, you don't even know what is wrong with me yet!" I hoped her view of me wouldn't change.
She rolled us over and sat on my stomach, which made me feel really awkward. She then scowled and puffed her cheeks out.
"It's not 'what's wrong with you'! it's 'what's unique about you'!"
I rolled us over again, this time ending up in a very awkward and intimate position,"No. Being 6'5 is unique. Having mismatched eyes is unique. The other thing is not unique. It is disturbing."
"What's so disturbing? Do you do bad things with cucumbers? do you like to make people cry? DO YOU TURN INTO A DRAGON WHEN YOUR MAD!" She started yelling.
"I'M A HERMAPHRODITE!" I looked away from her not know what to expect.
She sighed, seemingly relieved,"Is that what it was? I thought you might have been a serial killer or something!"
She reached up to hug me again. I stepped back.
"You realize that that means I am both male and female, right?"
She looked at me for a second and then smiled brightly,"See, I was right! unique, not disturbing!"
She tried to hug me again, and this time I let her. I felt kinda awkward hugging her because her face was planted right in between my breast.
"Umm, Teto? You know where your face is right? We don't want to have a repeat of what happened earlier today, do we?"
She let go of me immediately and backed away," AHAHA! It's been a long day hasn't it! It's probably dark by now!" she looked down at her watch,"Nope! HAHA, only two thirty! I should show you where your room is!"
She sprinted out of the bathroom. All I could do was take off after her. I felt very disappointed. I personally would have liked to have continued where we left off. I think I scared her away. I don't even know why I like her so much it just kinda hit me like a train...Oh my God! The revelation hit me like a speeding school bus.
I am in love with Teto...
What should I do? I never even really crushed on anyone, but this was like Cupid played a cruel joke!
I was till running when... WHAM! I ran right over Teto and fell on top of her. I was starting to wonder if it there was a "National Knock Over Ruko Day" or something along those lines... This was getting ridiculous!
I could feel Teto wiggling around under me,"I'm sorry! I don't know where your room is! Ted never told me that part!"
I lifted myself of the little chimera, feeling the weird magnetic pull once again,"So... Where am I going to stay until then? It is time for my daily nap..."
She drifted off into her own thoughts seemingly thinking of somewhere to nap.
"I'll find a place to nap!"
She stood up and looked around. She then honed in on one door and led me over there. She cautiously opened the door- "ACK!"
A paintbrush, tipped in white paint, flew through the door way and whacked her right in the eye.
"Very funny guys!" She grumbled. She picked up the brush and threw it back into the room, with way more force then it flew out, and closed the door. I heard a pained yelp coming from inside.
Teto looked very miffed and walked a little further down the hall. She opened another door and found the room it led to empty. She motioned for me to go in and I complied. The room was dark so I couldn't really see what was there.
I heard a loud crash behind me and I spun around. I could see fairly well in the dark, so I could see Teto in a tangled mess. She started flapping her wings frantically making things worse. She squirmed and tugged, but they would not come off.
She clutched at her head furiously, "THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!"
I chuckled and walked over to her. I quickly pulled off the cords and wires. After Teto was out of the wires I took her hand and began walking towards the light switch. We made it safely and I flicked it on, not letting go of her hand.
"You are safe from the evil clutches of the wires now, my princess,"I kneeled like a knight for added emphasis.
She sniffles and hugged my head to her chest. I nuzzled against her. I heard her sniffle and felt her shiver.
"I-I thought I was gonna d-die!" she whined. She was gripping my head tightly.
I knew she was being childish, but I wrapped my arms around her anyways. She probably thought Tei had come for her. I shivered at that thought. That would be a nightmare... No wait... That would be like the devil himself had come to torture her soul.
Scary.
"Its okay. I have you and I will not let go. Nothing can get you as long as I am right here,"I said softly trying to reassure the young girl.
Her arms loosened and I felt her slowly relax in my arms. It felt good to know that she trusted me so much. She felt so small and vulnerable in my arms. It was like I was really her knight.
"Hey, Ruko... this is a dark room, right? Did we just ruin the film?"
I wrinkled my forehead in thought and shrugged,"I don't know... I have never messed with film before..."
I noticed that the room was a total mess... There were pictures, film, and a very weird liquid on the floor. It looked like world war 3 took place in the room. Teto grabbed my hand and started dragging me out the door.
"We should run now... I don't know who this belongs to, but I know their gonna be mad!" I blushed as I realized that she had interwove our fingers this time.
"Where are we going this time?"
She kept dragging me down the hall not giving me an answer. Her brow was furrowed in thought. She turned a corner with me following, and started looking at all the doors lining the halls.
All of a sudden she exclaimed,"Of course! The library is only a few minutes away! It should be quiet there."
An angry bellow broke into the hallway,"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY PICTURES!"
I made a "WTFwasTHATandISitGONNAkillME?" face. Teto whimpered beside me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me away quickly. We took off down the hall until Teto stopped and flung open the door. The room we stepped into was very quiet. There were plushy chairs and even a couch. The walls were covered in books. I meandered over to the couch and sat down. It was very comfortable. I layer down on my side and there was still enough room for another person. Teto started walking away.
"Wait!" She spun around, startled, as I opened my arms to let her lay beside me.
She seemed reluctant at first, but then she smiled and walked over to me. She slid into my arms and snuggled close. She slipped into a deep sleep very quickly. I chuckled and wrapped an arm around her lovingly. If only this could last forever...
I don't know when I fell asleep, but I did. It was one of the best naps of my life. I felt so refreshed! I opened my one blue eye and noticed the little girl sleeping in my arms. I also noticed that we weren't alone. A giant flash made Teto jolt awake.
Teto fell face-first onto the floor and started grumbling.
"What lovely blackmail this will make." A cocky voice said.
"I don't think we s-should be-" A more nervous, lower voice stuttered.
"We came all the way down here to see her and, instead, find her sleeping with some girl we've never seen!"
"T-that sounded wrong!" I blushed as I realized what she had implied.
"It was supposed to." The cocky voice took on a slightly seductive tone.
I tore my eyes away from the adorable Teto and looked up at a girl with long blonde hair tied up in a side ponytail. She was texting away on her cell phone. A silver- haired girl stood beside her, with a sad but cute look on her face. Another flash came from the cellphone.
"Judging by your dishevled clothing, I'm just going to assume the worse. We'll leave you two alone now."
They started to walk away, until Teto blurted out,"WAIT! Neru, Haku, we have a club meeting today!"
The blonde rolled her eyes,"Why else would we be in this asylum that you people call the utau mansion?"
"You seem to fit right in if you ask me," I mumbled.
The silver haired girl giggled. The blonde however, developed a twitching eyebrow. I apparently hit a nerve. That or she just didn't like the cards being reversed.
"Your new toy is very charming, Teto. You need to teach her to behave in the presence of a superior."
It was my turn to get peeved. I stood up to my full height and stared down at the little girl. The silver haired girl looked very nervous, but, to my surprise, the blonde didn't do so much as blink.
I leaned down and murmured,"You need to grow a little before you try to pick a fight with me."
The blonde stared at me defiantly,"I like you. You seem to know how to hold your own. Most of these nitwits would crumble."
There was a lot of tension building around us. It was very weird. I felt like I had a certain understanding of Neru. It was like we had an unspoken agreement.
"Hey guys! look at me!" Teto put her hands up in the air for a second then tried to do a handstand. Her hand moved and she flipped over, landing on her back. I was alarmed to see that she looked hurt.
"Uuuh, it seems that,"She coughed, "My time... is finally here. Please... " She reached a hand towards the ceiling,"Don't let my kingom fall to ruin... an make sure... that Tei-chan knows... I don't hate her... that much." With a final weazing cough, her hand fell to her chest and her head lolled to the side.
I rushed to her side and grabbed her hand. I couldn't see her breathing. I put my hand under her nose. She WASN'T breathing!
"Shit. Shit. Shit," I mumbled under my breath.
I gently opened her mouth and pressed my mouth to it. Before I had the chance to breath into her I felt something in my mouth. Is that...her tongue?
Once again, I tasted a hint of French bread confirming my suspicion. I felt her arms snake around my neck and deepen the kiss, pressing herself against me. I was prepared to give in right there, but of course, we were interrupted...
Blondie cleared her throat,"We're still here you know!"
I growled and murmured to Teto,"We shall continue this later, Eh?"
I got up and glowered at blondie. She didn't take notice of me and simply stared at her phone.
"So, who is Haku and who is Neru?"
The silver haired one stepped forward first,"My name i-is Haku Yowane."
Aww so shy!
"I'm Neru Akita." Blondie said, after glancing quickly at Haku.
"Okay then. I am Ruko Yokune,"I took a closer look at them," Haha! Neru is like the sun, all proud and ready to shine, and Haku is like the moon, so shy and cute!~"
I smiled kindly at Haku. I was pleased to see a vein throb in Neru's forehead. That gave away that there was something between them. I snickered to myself. This was gonna be fun! Teto grabbed my hand, apparently she noticed the mischievous glint in my eyes.
"Sorry I was having a Dere-Dere moment," I tilted my head and smiled.
Teto sighed," It's fine. kay guys, since it takes to long to get to my room, let's just have the meeting here."
She turned to walk down one of the aisles. I decided it was better to obey the unspoken command and follow her. Once we got to the end she unfurled her wings and perched on top of the book case. That was awesome!
"First order of business!" She said loudly, waving her hand in the air frantically,"You wanna join the club Ruko?"
I sighed,"Depends... What does this club do?"
Teto furrowed her brow,"Umm... well ...we..."
It kind of worried me that she didn't know.
"Uh... what do we do Neru?"
"We discus topics that relate to our lives and make plans that benefit our future." Neru replied, not looking up from her phone. I wonder who she is talking to...
"... Yep! That's what we do!"
It cracked me up that she didn't really know,"Okay then... Sounds fun."
"Yes!" She waved her arm around again," I must tell you the rules then!"
Great no one told me there were rules...
She cleared her throat and crossed her arms over her chest," Rule number one! NO getting too drunk and dancing around on tables without your shirt on!" Haku blushed and looked down. Haha, I think I understand. That would have been entertaining...
"Rule number two! NO cutting people randomly with a sword that you pull out of nowhere!" Teto looked meaningfully at Neru. I felt myself sweat drop. Is everyone here psycho?
"Rule number last! NO Sexting!" Neru glared at Teto angrily. I don't think Teto really knew what sexting was... Neru certainly did, but I wonder how she got caught.
Neru started grumbling about something and started typing furiously.
"So, what are we going to do?"
Teto was startled and nearly fell off the bookcase.
"Well... we uh... AHAHA! I should get us some drinks!" Teto yelled, gliding down from the bookcase and running towards the door as fast as she could.
Neru ran in front of her, blocking her path, "Nice try, Teto, but you're the one who wanted to be the leader. You can't be skipping out on the important stuff."
"Fine," Teto pouted and walked back,"We are trying to gain more popularity, SO! we must go to a place where there is a lot of people and do something to catch their attention!"
"Okay, where do you guys wanna go?"
"I suggest the front gate of the manor," Neru grumbled," There are a ton of people who walk by there."
I thought for a second,"I KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO CATCH PEOPLE'S ATTENTION!"
Everyone stared at me, wide eyed because of my outburst.
I ran over to Neru and whispered in her ear,"We need to get Haku into a slutty bunny outfit! Then we could find something for Teto too, seeing as she has a pretty nice rack too!"
Neru blushed a little at the image and whispered into my ear," I know where to get the outfits, but what are we going to wear?"
"RING MASTER CLOTHING!" I yelled out loud.
Neru looked like she had a better idea,"Why don't you where your usual clothing? I'll find something for myself..."
"Okay!"
We walked over to Teto and Haku. Teto was giving us a look that told me she didn't trust us,"Were you guys sexting?"
The thought of sexting with Neru made me blanch.
Neru facepalmed, "No ,Teto. We have great ideas for costumes though!"
Neru sounded really excited. Teto and Haku kept exchanging glances back and forth, as if they knew that we had something planned.
"What kind of clothes are we going to wear?" Teto asked. She sounded very nervous.
"That's a surprise. Now, follow us!"
