Hakuouki Blogs!: Special!
Azure: Hello guys! I sincerely apologize about the delay. I unexpectedly caught the flu, and now I'm having some really serious ear problems. I'm practically deaf in my left ear, and it hurts. I'm sorry, I have a lot of health problems. That aside, I regret to inform you that this is the last chapter. But hey! That doesn't mean I won't write other stuff in the future! So Terra, what game are we playing?
Ignescent: So today, we will be playing a game called "Honey I Love You"
Azure: It's a pretty well known game, so I'm sure a few of you have heard of it. If not, the rules will be explained in the chapter.
Heisuke: I'm kind of scared... but if it's as fun as sausage I'm all in for it!
Azure: That's the spirit, Heisuke!
Ignescent: At least someone understands
Souji: This time, I'm gonna kick of your asses
Hijikata: You said that last time and you lost
Souji: Don't worry. I won't make the same mistake
Chizuru: Okita-san... you're a bit scary...
Azure: Anyway, let's start this last chapter!
We will now switch to third person point-of-view. There will be no blogs in this chapter.
Ten people - the same crowd from the last chapter - stood in a circle and eagerly awaited Azure's instructions, whether they showed it or not. Azure, one of the young teenaged girls from the future, walked to the center of the circle and began to explain the game.
"Alright, so 'Honey I Love You' has a similar concept to 'Sausage'." She began, clapping her hands together and looking around to make sure everyone was paying attention. "In other words, when someone comes up to you, try not to laugh or smile. However, the game mechanics are a little different. One person will come stand in the middle of the circle. That person has to choose someone from the circle, and in the best way possible, you must say, "Honey, I love you. Will you give me a smile?" The person being asked that must not smile or laugh, and reply, "Honey, I love you too. But I just can't smile right now." If the person manages to say that without smiling or laughing, the person in the center has to ask other people until someone gets out. However, if you laugh or smile while being asked, you must stand in the center and perform it on the others. Any questions?" Once she finished, the girl's gray eyes scanned the crowd.
To her slight surprise, Hajime raised his hand, and saw that his face was slightly tinted a rosy color. "Yes... Hajime?" "Must we say 'Honey, I love you'?" Azure gave a small laugh before nodding. "Of course! That's why the game is called that. Anyone else?" Silence. "No? Alright, let's get started then! I'll go first so you guys can learn how it's played."
Round 1
Azure
Azure stood at the center of the circle, as the nine others surrounded her. Immediately, she walked over to Terra, who rolled her eyes in slight annoyance. "Sorry, this is just so that they get an idea." Azure whispered to her friend who gave a reluctant nod.
The red haired teenager took a deep breath, before dropping to one knee and holding out her hand. "Honey... I love you! Will you give me a smile?" Terra gave a single snort at this, and cleared her throat before replying to the woman on the floor.
"Honey... I love... you... t-too... But I just... can't.. s-smi..." It was too much for Azure's friend apparently, who burst into laughter and held her stomach. Azure stood up and brushed her knee before turning to everyone else.
"That's an example of how you play. You can ask 'Honey I love you' in any way you want! But now... the game truly begins, with Terra starting us off."
Round 2
Terra
The smaller girl skipped on over to the center, and looked around before marching up too Souji, who gave a confused and slightly intimidated look. "Y-Yes?" He asked as Terra grabbed both of his hands in hers, small, crystal tears pooling in her eyes.
"Honey... I-I love you! Will you please give me a smile?" She asked him through fake sobs. Souji seemed a bit distressed, actually thinking she was crying... before he remembered her acting skills. No... she wasn't like Chizuru.
"Honey, I... I love you too, but... I'm sorry, I just can't smile right now." He said in a serious tone, as the tears from Terra's eyes instantly disappeared. "Aw man! My acting was perfect!" It was Sanosuke who spoke up. "Yes, your acting was perfect. However, it wasn't funny." "Well, you gotta admit Souji's reaction was hilarious!" Heisuke shouted as Souji sent a death glare in his direction. "Bastards... I actually thought something was wrong..." He mumbled as Terra then strode on over to Chikage, who looked like he was ready to kill the poor girl. Terra was not afraid, however.
"Honey, I love you! Will you give me a smile?!" Terra asked in the highest pitch possible for her, with puppy-like eyes. Chikage only gave her a cold glance before answering. "I hate you. Go away."
Everyone seemed to sweat drop. "Chikage... that's not what your suppose to say." Azure told the oni, who only gave a "Humph" in reply. Terra really didn't seem to care as she made a B-line toward her new target: Sanosuke.
Instead of acting silly, Terra shoved her face directly in front of Sano's, their noses so close they were practically touching. "Honey. I love you. Will you give me a smile?" The girl asked through gritted teeth with a deep voice. Sanosuke appeared confused before giving an awkward smile. "Honey, I love you too. But I just can't smile right now."
At this point, Terra was getting fairly annoyed. She wanted to be done. The teenager gave a quick glance at Hajime, before deciding to impersonate Toshi. Practically stomping up to the samurai, she gave an extremely sharp glare. Oh, if looks could kill. Taking on a more hostile attitude, she shouted at Hajime, "HONEY, I LOVE YOU! GIVE ME A SMILE!" It wasn't even a question.
The poor man stood there, looking utterly confused and terrified. Hajime cleared his throat softly, a clearly visible blush tinting his cheeks as he spoke. "I'm sorry... I'm not looking to be in a relationship..."
Terra gave a facepalm, and sunk to her knees. "Saito-san... this isn't real. It's just a game." Chizuru reminded him sweetly as Hajime gave a look of apologies toward the younger girl on the floor. "Forgive me, Terra." "No, no, it's alright..."
It took three more chances before Terra was finally able to get a laugh from Heisuke. The man gave a sigh as he wandered to the middle of the circle, cyan eyes scanning the crowd to decide the next victim. In the end, Heisuke meandered over to Chizuru and immediately froze up. It was one thing doing it to his friends... but to a woman... that's another story.
Round 3
Heisuke
"Uh... H... Honey... w..." The samurai's face was the color of a tomato, struggling desperately to speak to the poor oni who stood rooted to the spot, clearly just as embarrassed as Heisuke was.
Heisuke continued mumbling, but it was too obvious that performing this task was near impossible. And yet...
"Mmmmm... hehehehe... ahahahahaha!" Chizuru let out a joyful laugh upon the failed attempts. Heisuke's embarrassment instantly disappeared, and turned to one of slight shock and concern when seeing the woman laughing uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry Heisuke..." Was all the girl could manage before collapsing to the floor. Everyone stared at her, uncertain what to do...
It was then decided that the game would finish.
Azure: And that's the end of the special! I hope you all enjoyed it!
Souji: That was short, but fun. I hope we can do more stuff like this in the future.
Sanosuke: Indeed
Ignescent: no
Saito: ...Why?
Ignescent: i don wanna
Azure: Ignore Terra; we'll definitely do this again! Bye for now!
