Birthing Chaos
Chapter 5; Getting' Down like Funk Gods
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Moka's eyes slowly flittered open; the sounds of deep, slow bass tune echoed into her room. This music was something that lasted throughout the night, yet despite its varying intensities and melodies, she eventually fell asleep. Just because she slept, doesn't mean Ura did; she could've sworn that the silver-haired beauty was grooving in her rosario throughout the night. Right now, from the boy's dorm, there were furious speeds flying, and yet it was all joyous.
A large grin spanned over her face as she prepared for the day.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Kumuru wiped the sleep from her eyes; the music was compelling her to awaken again. Multiple times she awoke from a wonderful dream to the loud crash of cymbals then rapid snares, finally the cursed stringed bass coming to life. The music was wonderful, yes, but she wanted to sleep! With a slight groan she pulled herself out of bed, and trudged to the kitchen.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
As the morning slowly boiled on, Tsukune leaned on the wall in front of Adam's door, waiting expectantly. The door finally opened, smoke rushing out, and Dan walked out while spinning a drum stick adeptly. "Mornin'!"
Tsukune rose an eyebrow. "Morning…Is Adam coming?"
"Not today." Dan said with a smile. "That was the longest jam session we had, and when he gets into it, he gets stoned. He's high up on the chains right now. I'm not too far off, considering he didn't share…But, no harm no foul." Dan nodded.
"Is that one of the reasons you're so mellow this morning?"
"Nope. I didn't get any fucking sleep."
Adam walked out of the room and stood next to Dan, his 4-string, black-hued Squire Bass hanging from his shoulder. "Exacta. Don't forget to get me some food, and tell Moka I'm sorry that I won't be able to make it."
"Since when the fuck have I forgotten food for you?!"
"I'm merely making a point." Adam dipped his head down and lit the black base-ball bat hanging from his mouth; with a deep inhale and stop, he held the breath as smoke slowly filtered out from his nose.
"Are you…" Tsukune asked innocently.
He puffed out the smoke then nodded. "You've much to learn. Next time I get some Psycopothy Red I'll tell you."
"Oh, you'll share with him but not me?!"
Adam gave Dan a slow, sort-of lethargic glance. "I only had a eighth left when we started. Now I'm down to a tenth. Gotta make this shit last."
"Whatever. What should I tell Moka?"
Adam shrugged then turned back to his room. "No idea. It's not really worth the effort to put my cooked brain to use."
"What does that mean?" Tsukune inquired.
"How naive you are. It means he's stoned off of his ass and can't think."
"You're wrong bub. I can do everything stoned that I could do sober; it's just not worth the fucking effort."
"My point is made." Dan said cockily.
Adam didn't even bother to come back; instead, he turned and slammed his door shut, the loud static feedback came as he re-plugged his bass in, then more bass music coming from the room.
"I think I struck a nerve! He only slams a door then plays when he's pissed."
Tsukune shook his head as the two walked out of the dorms towards the school; "You are a strange, sad little man. You know that?"
"Oh, I'm well aware. Do I care? Not really. We're just that awesome."
"Don't…you think you're being a little too cocky?"
"Fuck nah. Just wait, I'm going to point out at least 5 reasons why we are fucking epic."
"Uh….Okay."
-In Front of The School-
Kumuru and Moka looked at Dan and Tsukune as they walked closer. Moka was the first to notice the biggest of their group missing. "Where's Adam?"
"Hear that funk?"
"Yeah…"
"That's him. Slapping his dick."
"W-What?!" Kumuru yelped in surprise.
"His dick is a 4-string bass guitar." Dan said with a chuckle. "I love being crude."
"It's true. I saw it. It's black with green swirls."
"Yes, his dick is black. How do you feel?!"
"Confused…and scared." Moka said with a twitch.
"Dammit, you don't get the innuendo! Maybe Inner does."
"Let me out, I want to throttle him." Ura thought to Omote; Dan twitched as a shiver ran down his spine.
"She wants to kill me now, doesn't she?"
"Killing is only the tip of the ice berg!" "Yeah…I don't know why though." Omote lied.
"Oh, the bliss of Naiveté. Tsukune, when the time comes, give me a good eulogy."
"…I'll think about it." Tsukune hummed. "I think we need to get to class now, before we're late."
"Kumuru, Tsukune…You go on ahead. I need to talk to Dan real quick." Moka said.
The two looked at each other somewhat, then nodded. "Alright. Don't take too long."
Once the two were out of earshot, Dan looked to her and rose an eyebrow. "What did you need?"
"Since…Adam isn't here, and I haven't had any blood for a while, I was wondering…"
A sigh escaped his lips. "Say no more." He said, extending an arm. "Take from the wrist; those hugs are for Adam." He said with a hint of jealousy at the mere thought.
In a swift movement, his arms were pinned down to his side and the head tilted backwards, neck being bitten instead. "Say…when…done…" Dan said slowly.
Dan remembered Moka taking at least a minute to finish with Adam, not…25 to 30 seconds. She released and smiled lightly, wiping the excess off of her lower lip. "Heavy…sweet…Like dark chocolate, and very filling. I think I'm good for the next 24 hours."
"Yer welcome. What's his taste like?" Dan said, starting to walk to class.
"His is very light, yet extremely sweet, but very spicy. It's kind of refreshing to drink and not feel like your mouth is on fire."
"If he's not around, just ask. Though next time, take from the wrist. Seriously. I'm not as jumpy as he is."
"Why is that?"
"Two things; higher pain tolerance, and something to do with his past. He can take body-blows and be thrown into gym dividers, but touch his neck and he starts freaking the fuck out. Though, I assume it has calm because of you."
"What about me?"
"Not yet then…" Dan muttered. "You'll find out in due time, but if not? It's his choice to tell you."
"Uh, Okay…"
With that, the two walked into room 103. Dan beckoned Tsukune up to him; Nekonome was a little late to homeroom. "Alright…We have…one two three…Four couples, and…" Dan counted some other heads. "Three really pissed off people. Four couples got lucky last night, and three of them are really, really tense. This is why, Tsukune, why Adam and I are funk gods. Or so we call ourselves, for good reason."
"How can you tell?"
"Well, see the four guys with shit eating grins and four girls with contented looks on their faces? There are couples somewhere in here. We might have made them last night too…." Dan trailed off, then shrugged as Nekonome walked in. "
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
During lunch, a loud, satanic-like feedback emanated from the PA system. After-which, several loud thumps were heard. "Is this thing on? Testin', one dos san?! ALLLLLRIGHT! Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of Youkai Academy. I am yer always amazin' hacker-genius, Pope Hijack! I hope you're all enjoyin' yer lunch, and to help y'all…" Adam's voice stopped, followed by a deep inhale then hard, hacking coughs. "Enjoy it, I'ma play some music fer y'all."
"God dammit, that asshole said he'd wait!"
"I ain't waitin' anymore, I got bored." A single strum of the deepest string resonated.
"You idiot! How am I going to get any ladies this way?! Do you want me to kill you!?"
"Fffffffeck off, women don't like drummers. Don't try coming back at that one."
"Are they actually talking to eachother?" Kumuru said to Moka and Tsukune.
"We are indeed yellin' at eachother. I can hear you."
"No he c-"
"FUCK YOU I CAN."
"No you can't! He's just smart enough-"
"By the way, dickweed, what's this about your point bein' proven!?"
". . .Fuck. He's right."
"What do you mean?"
"One of my life statements is 'You can do anything stoned as if you were sober. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort."
"Damn him! He always does this shit!"
Although Adam said nothing, melodious, seducing funk music starts playing from the PA system. Dan turned his head from the ceiling to Kumuru and Tsukune…Or lack there-of. "Uh, where did they go…?"
"I saw her dragging him thataway…" Moka said innocently pointing to the still-swinging doors.
A sigh. "Another couple gets lucky. Damn we're good."
The music stopped for a second; "Uh….You mean 'I'm good.'" With that, Adam resumed playing the music.
"I hate when he does that… I swear I get no credit at all!"
A loud belch…or something like that…came into the PA system. "Because you're not here with me right now."
"A point I'm rueing. I should've skipped today too."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After classes, Moka, Tsukune, Kumuru and Dan waltzed into 103, and cocked a brow. "Where is everybody?" Dan asked to Nekonome.
"You four are the only ones in the group, with the exception of Adam and the club president. He should be here soon enough." The feline said with a yawn.
The door slid open as the feline closed her mouth, as indeed, an irritated looking man walked into the room; jet black messy hair with a red headband, blazer open and shirt untucked. He espied the two women, and immediately gave them two bouquets of roses, that peeved look turning to a look of glee. "Hello there, and welcome to the Newspaper club. I am the president, Ginei Morika; however, you may call me Gin-Sempai." While he was looking and directing (most) of his words to the women, and much of the intent; the primary point was driven across.
Gin had taken a seat behind the desk as Nekonome was rising up; "Since the club president is here, I'm going to attend a faculty meeting. Make friends with your senpai, Okay?" the cat-demon yelled as she walked out of the room.
"Does she really think we'll make friends that easily, or at all?" Dan questioned quietly to Tsukune.
"Just because you talk quietly, doesn't mean I can't hear you." Gin said with a cocky tone.
"Then hear this…" Dan leaned in to Tsukune "He's probably into furry women and can't get any to save his existence." He said, almost inaudibly to Tsukune.
Gin's ears twitch as a tick mark appeared on his temple. "I've probably gotten more than you!"
"Hmm, Let's see here. Weak attempt at cool, crappy hair, retarded head band, gaudy necklace, and a smile as fake as Cubic Zirconium." Tsukune pointed out with a cocked eyebrow.
The door slid open before Gin could open his mouth, a slower-than-normal Adam stumbled in. Everyone could see by the way his eyes were blood shot, he was coughing quite vigorously. "Yeeeeah…You're still a virgin. And, you also stink like a dead baboon."
"And most likely a peeping tom, and Hello there Mister Wang." Dan continued.
"You No Mess With Lo Wang!" Adam said with a fake Chinese accent.
Gin stared at Adam, then at Dan, then back to Adam. "How did you do that?!"
"Telepathy," Adam stated as he took his place next to Dan. Leaning towards him, Adam merely muttered "I feel like I'm floating."
"That's because you're still high…Do I need to wash your brain out again!?" Dan whispered at first, then snapped.
"How do you wash a person's brain out…?" Tsukune questioned.
"Like this! Take a plunger, and slam it onto an ear, and start plunging!" Said Dan while performing said task, as Adam shouted "LET ME GO MOTHERFUCKER! I LIKE THE FUZZIES!" complete with failing.
"I didn't know you were like that…Should I get Nekonome? Or would bunnies be more your style…?"
In a surprising move, for a stoner at least, Adam had wrenched the plunger out of Dan's grasp and slammed it over Dan's mouth while jumping to his feet; all in fluid movements. "Touch the fuzzies again and I'll punt you in the dick." Adam muttered lowly.
Dan yanked the plunger off of his mouth, and looked over to Tsukune. "This is why I always wear a cup."
Meanwhile, Moka and Kumuru had sweat-drops the size of a basketball. Gin face-desked at the commentary between the two. "Anyway…" Gin brought their attention back to the situation at hand. "Our job as the newspaper club is to…"
"Report shit as it happens and blow it up out of proportion, yeah?" Adam said slowly.
"Wow, your saying's right!" Dan said, mock-wide-eyeing Adam.
"Not exactly blowing it up out of proportion, but yes – that is the general idea. So you just saved me my whole speech." Gin said, an eye beginning to twitch. "But, enough of that. We're gonna have to start putting Ads on the wall for our club."
"I'll go get the ladders." Dan rose up to his feet.
"Did he really just read my mind" Gin said.
"Telepathic, remember?"
"NO FUCKING WAY!" Adam shouted while cupping himself.
"Uh, What?" Tsukune asked as he looked over to the teenager.
"THERE IS NO. FUCKING. WAY IN HELL THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HANG MY NADS FROM THE WALLS!"
"Dammit! Quick, Hold him Tsukune so we can Crucify him by his nads!" Dan said while pulling the hammer and nails from nowhere.
"Uh, Where…did those come from?" Moka asked pointing to the nails.
"I actually…have no clue!" Dan said, looking at the objects questioningly.
"Touch me and I'll fuckin' nail YOUR nads to the wall!" Adam shouted while running out of the room.
"Oh well, back to getting those ladders." Dan said while throwing the hammer and nails to the side.
Kumuru's sweatdrop only got bigger, as Gin, Tsukune, Kumuru and Moka all thought: 'What the hell are we getting ourselves into…?'
"To answer your question, people? You're entering straight into the Chaos Zone…" Dan said, promptly humming the Twilight Zone theme.
"And that is just creepy." Kumuru finally said, pointing at Dan.
"Success! I finally creeped out a monster!" Dan cheered in his head.
A flying desk would be seen careening over the air and at Dan's head, impacting rather loudly. "'Ey! You gonna keep douchin' or move your ass?!" Adam shouted. "Go get those ladders, We got shit to do!"
"I'm going, I'm going." Dan said as he rubbed the slight bump mark on his head.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Adam rested his now exhausted head onto the cold steel of the ladder steps. A sigh escaped his lips. "Fuck this shit man. How much higher do you want this?!"
Gin was standing at the base of the two ladders; Tsukune was holding them, Dan and Adam were on the ladders, and Moka and Kumuru were on their shoulders. Gin was looking up at both ladders, up the skirts of Moka and Kumuru…Well, just Moka, as Kumuru's was blocked by Dan; skullfully blocking the view.
"A little Higher!"
Dan and Adam shared a peeved glance, before taking two steps higher onto the ladders while balancing both of their charges.
"I get this sneaking suspicion that he's only ordering them this high to peek up their skirts without needing to crouch down." Dan said dryly.
"Sneaking nothing…He probably Is." Adam said Dryly.
"I think Kumuru would have something to say to that, considering her current situation."
"The fuck you on about?"
"Look at Tsukune's left pocket…You'll see a small strip of panties hanging out."
Adam, Moka, and Kumuru look down at this, while Gin takes a small glance. "The hell?! You're kidding me!"
"I'm pretty sure they're hers, though I'm not too positive. Then again, considering what they were doing earlier…Scratch that!"
"…That crafty fuckin' bastard!" Adam muttered.
"It was your funk that did that to them."
Adam looked up at a beat-red Kumuru. "Yer welcome." Then down to Tsukune. "You're welcome."
"Wait a second…Wouldn't that mean that he's peeking up my skirt as well…?!" Moka inquired.
"…Good point!"
"Wait…He's peeking up mine too!" Kumuru panicked.
"Don't worry. My skull's blocking the view. I'm not seeing anything, neither is he. Tsukune, on the other hand…Is."
"Good! Hold on Tight Moka~!" Adam chirped, placing both feet on the sides as well as his hands as he slid down the ladder, only to land easily on his feet, and attempt to snap kick Gin…
This would have worked, given Kumuru not freaking out, flailing, and causing the two of them to lose their balance and plunge to the bottom of the ground – Dan landed on top of Moka and Adam, where Kumuru landed right on top of Tsukune; more specifically, her crotch right on his face.
Dan facepalmed; "Oh come on. Get a friggin' room."
Moka came in next "We know you're hot for eachother, but jeez!"
Adam finally sighed. "When's it my turn for lovin'?!"
"Did you really just complain…?! Usually it's me who is bitching about that!"
If he could, Adam would've facepalmed. "Can you get off of me? The both of you? Moka's light as a feather, but Dan – you're a fucking sack of bricks. GET UP."
"Nah, your fat makes a nice seat."
"I'm punching you in the genitals. With a spiked glove."
"Remember, Cups Save."
"Fine. Punching you in the kidneys. Piss blood for weeks."
"I can deal with tha-OW!" Adam's haymaker came colliding into his kidneys. "You made a nice save, by the way by calling Moka light as a feather. You just proved yourself to be smarter than about 95% of males in the world."
"If she were heavy, I'd tell her." Adam said dryly. "I don't bullshit."
"You're right…You're about as subtle as a black guy in a KKK convention."
"Oh, and I'm not stupid. Crazy? Yes. Stupid? Not quite."
"Really? Coulda fooled me!"
"I get that a lot. It's no different." Adam said, finally forcing Dan off of him as he rose up.
"So, Gin-teme, how much do we need for this news-paper each week?"
An eye twitch occurred as he tried to process what just happened. "I…would like around two thousand words, but sometimes less will be good."
"Then here you go." Dan said as he reached into his bag and handed Gin a large stack of papers. "Here's something worth about 14,000 words."
"Wait…What? When the hell did you type this up?!"
"Two nights ago. Got bored. Adam killed my internet then."
"You wrote 14,000 words when you were BORED?!"
"Mhm…Writing's my specialty, along with reading."
"So is whacking off…" Adam said dryly.
"Oh come on, nearly every guy's good at that! The one exception might be Tsukune."
"Because I don't need to!" Tsukune chirped happily as he held Kumuru's hand.
"Good job. You can now avoid everything a thirteen year old guy and older usually starts doing." Dan said dryly. "This also means you have no need for the internet porn."
"Wait! Does that mean you're as much of a pervert as me?!"
"Yes, he is saying that, but he's more tactful, and tasteful, about it." Adam said dryly.
"There's also the fact that I don't go flipping skirt, trying to look up skirts, tricking women to do something so that you can look up their skirts, groping without permission, or peeking into-"
"Okay, that's it, I'm calling bullshit right now." Adam said.
"How so!?"
"I caught you one time peeking into the locker rooms."
"Actually, I just walked into the wrong one on accident."
Tsukune, Moka, Gin, and Kumuru shared a strange look with Adam. "Oldest lie in the book ever." They all say unanimously.
"I'll prove it! Kumuru! Walk into my mind to find that memory!" Dan said. Kurumu nervously nodded and placed her hands on his temples and concentrated. Barely even a minute later she exited and chuckled lightly.
"I'll vouch for him. This knuckle head was reading when he walked in on the girls changing after making a wrong turn. Poor guy nearly lost his kintama in the ensuing beating" she said shaking her head.
"Damn it Dan why the hell were you reading while walking? You don't do that shit any more do you" asked an exasperated Adam.
"I stopped that day. You think I want my balls cut off with a rusty hacksaw" retorted Dan.
"I don't know you seem like the type who would" said Tsukune. Kurumu, Adam, Moka, and Gin gaped at him.
"Whoa did that really just come out of your mouth dude? He is learning fast" said Adam.
"I do believe it did. More progress has been made in this one day than the entirety of our time before"
"That's because you fucked with the fuzzies. I would have been able to teach him more had I been more fucked up" Adam said not minding the volume of his voice.
"Fucked up huh? What exactly do you mean Adam" Moka asked sternly tapping her foot.
"Nothin" he replied sweating slightly.
"He means stoned out of his fucking mind" Dan answered with a sadistic smirk on his face, not even flinching at the look he received from Adam. It would have terrified a lesser man, and backhanded him as hard as he could.
"Good job you fucking idiot, you know that I didn't want her to know" said Adam, irritation clear in his voice.
"I know, I just wanted her ire directed at you instead of me for once"
"And why would you want to do that"
"I'm tired of the death threats from Ura"
"It doesn't make sense why you would want to piss outer off more than inner"
"Umm, actually Ura and myself are fine with that" Moka interjected.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY" Adam yelled in complete disbelief.
"Ura and I are fine with that. Vampires have a much looser set of morals than humans. Why would we care if you do drugs" she replied.
"OH FOR FUCKS SAKE IS IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO WIN" Dan yelled to the heavens waterfall tears flowing down his face.
"If you keep crying Algalon will come and feed on your tears and we don't want that now do we" chided Adam.
"Hey I didn't say we weren't angry at you, we just don't care about the drugs. Why didn't you tell us? Don't you trust us" she asked a look of hurt crossing her face.
"No..it's not that…I just" he couldn't complete his thought and stormed out his face hidden to all but Dan saw it and couldn't hide a smirk.
"So you finally grew one eh? It's about time you asshat" said Dan.
"What are you talking about" asked Kurumu with a slight scowl.
"You'll see soon enough imouto chan" Dan replied.
"Imouto" she asked.
"I fucked up big time the other day. I don't know any better way of making it up than making you my honorary little sister" he replied. As they were talking no one noticed Gin and Tsukune slip away after Adam; the former with a look of sadism on his face, and worry apparent on Tsukune's face.
Adam rubbed at his eyes, and sighed irately. "Fucking shit. Trust, who really needs that shit outside of a family?" he muttered under his breath; more words of frustration coming in American English strings. Eyes drifted from side to side; he had nearly sprinted towards the boy's dorms in a small amount of time, after being out of everyone's line of sight. He sighed, dipping his head down and continued to walk now; bumping clear into Gin; The oblivious one looked towards Gin after his walk was stopped. "Eh? Gin-sempai? What's up?"
"Not much, but you on the other hand, look like you need a pick-me-up. Follow me, we'll talk on the way." The older nodded with a crocodile's smile. "You seemed pretty pissed off earlier with Moka-chan; any reason why?"
"It's a matter of trust; or something about that bullshit sentiment."
"Oh? What about trust?"
Adam said nothing, but rather hummed quietly for a moment; "If you break a lover's trust, do you suppose it'd be in a sense, easy to regain said trust?"
"Mmm, It depends upon you've done to break that trust. Some things can be easy, others near impossible."
"Say…Cheat on your partner."
"That would be near impossible. I never knew you and Moka were dating. Who'd you cheat with?"
"That's none of your business, second off. More importantly, Moka and I are not dating." Adam scoffed; "Who the fuck would want this slab of ugly?"
"I'm sure there's some women out there for you. Though, if I may say – you yourself don't seem so trusting. Any reason why?"
"Dead men tell no tales, and dead women spread no legs."
"Ah. Perhaps you should be more like Dan; though I can tell he hates me, he seems to trust those he considers a friend."
"He's a hell of a lot less trusting than I am. Want to know who all he trusts back there?" Adam said as they neared a building.
"Who?"
"Just me." He said with a nod. "He considers them more acquaintances more than anything at this point. He doesn't throw the phrase 'friend' around helter skelter."
"Any particular reason for that?"
"Couldn't tell you. Sure as fuck won't tell me, and I've tried to pry it outta him more than twenty times." Adam admitted with a shrug. "So, where's this fucking pick-me-up you had in mind?"
"Well, if you just move these crates over here and peek into that window…" he said, jerking a thumb to said boxes, "You'll have your answer soon enough."
With a shrug, Adam did as he was told for once. Quickly climbing up the box, the teen's eyes went wide and face becoming beat red as he espied several of his female classmates, and other girls he had no name for in various states of dress…Or lack there-of; he had no idea that there were pictures of him being taken by Gin.
However, this peep-show was very short-lived, as Tsukune slid into view and yelled "Adam! What the hell are you doing," which caused the bigger teen to fall down off of the crates, causing a louder ruckus; earning the attention of the women inside. Adam slowly picked himself up from his face-planted position with a snarl; "When I catch that dead baboon, he will be a dead fucking baboon!" was all that he growled as he rose to his feet slowly and head rising to see said women from before seeing them in various different attires; some wearing only a towel, others in their gym uniform and others in their school uniforms.
One of said classmates pointed an accusing finger at him; "Hendrix-san! What the hell are you doing peeping on us! I thought you were better than that!"
"Errr…In my defense?"
"Which is?!"
"You are, at this point, giving both me, and the peeping tom behind you, a free show."
"That's the oldest trick in the book…" said another.
"I'm not a peeping tom!" Another guy said from behind; this caused all of them to look back at the innocent person as Adam turned to run the fuck away.
"It may be the oldest trick in the book, BUT IT SURE AS FUCK WORKED!" Adam taunted as he ran surprisingly fast, given his weight.
"After Him!" they all screamed once they realized that it was working.
"Dammit…What crazy shit's going to happen now!?" Tsukune groaned after face palming himself. "I should…go warn Kumuru and Moka; we may need some help."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
After what had to have been close to an hour and a half of a game of some rather sadistic cat and mouse, and with at least 4 knock-outs throughout the chase, it finally came to a stop as Adam skid to a stop in front of an unclimbable wall. "Fuck me sideways." He growled.
"Oh I'm sure you can do a lot of that, in Hell!" yelled one of the furious women as they all surrounded him, like lions going in for the kill.
"And don't you think that this big, big chase was just a waste of time? I mean, giving me fucking chase without any chance of defending myself?"
"That, good sir, was shot down the second you tried to point it at someone else."
"Y'nno what…?"
"What?" They kept growing closer.
"Fuck off."
"Kill 'im!"
"WAAAIIIIIIT A FUCKIN' SECOND!"
"What now, Hendrix?!"
"You do know…that by chasing me at least…four, if not five times around the school….You gave a good three quarters of the entire school population a free peep show. You are aware of this, yes?"
His answer? Being lunged at, and being immersed with dust clouds of having his ass thoroughly handed to him.
After ten minutes of a thrashing, Adam was seen sitting Indian-style; left eye swollen beyond belief, numerous cuts, bruises and concussions all around his body, glasses missing on top of it, and bound by several chains. "Ye idiots." Adam muttered under his breath; his heavily accented Japanese vocals turned pure Irish in accent. "Tha fuck do ye think ye'r doin' bah chasin' meh aroun' like a lotta fuckin' caged animals? What fuckin' purpose did ye have tae chase me 'round like yeh did?"
"Personal satisfaction." One said calmly and proudly.
"In other words, bullshit that I'm going to end. Now." Came Dan's perfectly fluid and native tongue.
"Stay outta this, Nakatomi. This doesn't concern you."
"Fuck off, bitch. When you nearly kill my Adelfos, you make it my business." He said, each knuckle cracking as he spoke. "Now Move, before I make your asses move."
"Ahn' I do believe tha' you should listen to 'im at least, considerin' yeh snooteh bitches won' fuckin' listen to meh when I yelled at least three times tha' yeh should stop an' let meh explain."
"Adam, just shut up now."
"Nah! Fuck tha' shit! Tired of bein' una-OW!"
"I said, Shut the fuck up!" Said Dan as he held a now broken stick.
"We're not letting our quarry go, Nakatomi." Another said menacingly.
"Ah, you call meh a quarry then? Fi'st off, d'yeh think tha' I look like a fuckin' pit for mining? Nah lassie. I ain't no 'quarry' as you pu' it. Second off, y' call me quarry like I'm sorta prize. The fuck, y'all into S&M? This is actually kinda arousin'." His voice held a very heavy tone of sarcasm and sadism.
The sarcasm, however, was not lost on three of the girls as they all snapped and flung themselves at him with intent to at least strangle him. Dan had moved to intercept them and was knocked unconscious on the ground, not realizing what the fuck just happened.
"Oi, Oi! Dan, don' kill 'em! They may've tried tae kill meh, bu' don' be spreadin' any innocen' blood man!"
"Innocent blood has already been spilt! What's a little more?! Besides, they're not dead. I just knee'd two in the stomach and elbow-dropped the third…"
"Still! Don' kill anyone! I don' want any more corpses restin' on me conscious."
"They won't be on yours; they'll be on mine. Now; as for the rest of you. Are you going to let me take him to get him healed up, or will I have to kill you all?" He said with a very low, very furious tone; a glint of raw fucking hatred coming from a very well-placed glare; a shiver of fear ran up all their spines – that look? Spoke of nothing but death and pain.
Without another word, they went to pick up the three fallen friends and made a run for it.
"Fucking cunts. Come on, let's get your ass out of here."
"Righteous. Bu' on anotha note, please – don' try to kill 'em. Ah unda-stand tha' yehr pissed off n' shite, but yeh angah shouldn't be directed at them. Shoul' be directed at the soon-to-be-dead baboon."
"I already knew Gin was the one who tricked you into it. Tsukune knows as well, and he's going to find Kumuru and Moka – though, he hasn't succeeded yet. Me? I figured he'd disappeared that he'd try something like this, and well…Thankfully it wasn't on purpose."
"Tha' fucker. I wanna kill 'im myself." He spat some blood. "Ah'll be fine once we get these fookin' chains off me."
"C'mon, I got a set of lock-picks in my room – once we get 'em off, you can go back to yours."
"Fuck no! I ain't goin' back 'til I fuckin' take a good crack at 'im myself!"
"Shut up, before I knock you out for the rest of the night. You're in no condition to fight anyone right now."
"Nae, I'm taking a fucking crack at him. That bastard…That bastard baboon made me fuckin' think of Alice, of all fuckin' people. Alice, Jason..."
"Ffffffuck…Looks like I'm not going to have a choice, am I?" Said Dan before elbow dropping him in the back of the head; knocking him clear the fuck out. "Rest well, Idiot. Dream of Moka, and be wary…When you wake up, you'll have a headache the size of Mount Rushmore."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Later that Evening, Moka was leaning on the railing of the roof; the moon was high in the sky, a bright white hue coming from the reflective surface. Her mind was a blurr of things that had happened today; accusing her first friend of not trusting, and then seeing that very same friend not twice, but three times being chased by girls dressed in their gym or school uniforms, maybe a towel if she was lucky. 'So much for trusting a human, hm?' Ura muttered inside the Rosario. 'But, his eyes…his facial features. He's quite well at hiding despair, non?'
"Just…Be quiet." Omote said quietly.
The door behind her, leading down the stairs, creaked open to earn Moka's attention; she looked back and stared in some Awe as Gin emerged from the doorway; "Moka-chan, what is with that sad look on your face?"
"Mmm…Don't worry about it." She said with a head-shake. "What can I do for you?"
"You look very lovely in the moonlight tonight." Gin said, a suave tone coming upon him. "But, that look…I don't like it – someone like you shouldn't be on the verge of tears, now should you? Tell me what happened…"
Those words stuck in her head as she replayed again, in her mind, what she saw. Then, she shook her head as she realized that she…really had no clue as to what the hell went wrong today, or any details. "It's…Nothing worth mentioning."
"I see…Did you see Hendrix-san earlier today, being chased down like a wanted criminal?"
"That I did see. Although, he looked like he was enjoying himself as they chased him."
"I guess some peeping toms are masochistic as well. I'm sure he was enjoying himself when he went to peep." He said, pulling out several photos from earlier today, of Adam standing there on the crates, blushing furiously at what he saw.
'So he hides things from us, and is a pervert, hm?' Ura thought; shaking her head. But her eyes stared closely at the capture of his eyes; still, widened with pain and despair as was hidden earlier. 'Or…Perhaps not as…bad as we think?'
"Keep quiet about that picture to Hendrix – It's so pathetic – You should forget about that guy as well. He's nothing but bad luck, I hear. But, regardless, I'll console you tonight." He said as an arm snaked it's way around her shoulder; only for a second later for him to be pushed away with a loud 'Kyaaa!'
"What's wrong? Was I not holding you tenderly enough?"
"You felt me up!"
"Bah, it's a full moon. I apologize – On nights of the full moon, I feel so…Powerful. I'm beginning to go wild. So you should give in, and let me fulfil my urges."
"NO! STOP IT!" Moka screamed, "I'm not going to believe these." Moka said, throwing the pictures away. "I'm going to wait. I want to hear his side of the story; not seeing incriminating pictures."
"You're serious, huh?" Gin said with a maniacal chuckle. "I'm feeling myself fall for you harder and harder. But I told you, right? Nights of a full moon? I begin to lose CONTROL." He had snarled, his form beginning to become furry; face protruding out into a dog's snout; power erupted from him. "When my emotions act up so much, I suddenly lose control of myself!"
"ANNND YOU'RE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO DUCK! IRON REAVER, SOUL STEALER!" Dan had screamed from behind, bringing his right, clawed hand down in a slash, releasing a wave of Ki energy towards the Werewolf. He hit his mark leaving a gash along the chest of the Werewolf as he turned to confront Dan.
"GAH! You? What the hell are you doing here" yelled Gin angrily as he clutched his chest in pain. Dan turned to Moka completely ignoring the older boy and nodded.
"I'm glad I don't have to kill you. Adam would be devastated to lose another. You hurt him you know questioning his trust. Remember this the next time you start to have doubts, you are the only one he allows near his neck" said Dan further pissing off Gin.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you bastard" he yelled charging faster than most could see. Dan didn't even flinch as Gin froze less than a foot from impact…I mean literally frozen in a block of ice.
"Thanks Mizore san. Your help is greatly appreciated" Dan called to the side. Moka looked at the empty space questioningly before jumping as a voice from that direction replies.
"No problem Dan. I always help out my friends" the voice replied shyly as Mizore popped up from seemingly nowhere a slight blush on her face. Dan chuckled at seeing it, noting how it accentuated her features nicely, and made her eyes shimmer. Before anything else could be said a loud cracking indicated that Gin was finally breaking the ice.
"So the bastard dog finally shows his face again huh" Dan said looking bored.
"You little shit, I'm a wolf not a dog" Gin growled.
"Wolf? You don't act like a wolf Gin. You just act like a little dog that can't get any pussy. The instant you smell a woman you go into fuck mode to the exclusion of all else. At least wolves know when to prioritize mating to surviving" Dan lectured making Mizore and Moka blanch at his language. While Moka was more used to it she still was not all that fond of how crude he can be.
"I'll kill you for that insult…no, better yet, I'll beat you to a bloody pulp and make you watch as I take BOTH of the women. What do you have to say to that runt" Gin said with a sadistic smirk as he stood a full head and a half taller than Dan after his transformation.
"Two things head fuck, one the moon is your power and it's beginning to wane" Dan started pointing up to where the moon was being covered in clouds, "and two it's not about the size of the dog in the fight" he started again before slugging Gin with a devastating high kick to the temple while Mizore set a thick fog around them as he finished the saying, "it's about the size of the fight in the dog."
Gin looked around feeling his power at less than half. He could barely hear anything through the fog, and his nose could pick up nothing but water. His eyes were obviously fucked. His only consolation was his opponent was in the same predicament as him.
"Gin" a voice called behind him. Whirling around, he slashed at…nothing?
"Gin…Gin" the voice called again from beside him to in front of him. Slashing at both left him hitting nothing but air. Meanwhile his back got gashed open while he was trying to track his opponent.
"COME OUT AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN" he shouted in anger.
"But Gin, haven't you heard? I'm not a man…I'm a monster of a different sort" Dan called from seemingly everywhere…or at least that's how it sounded to Gin. What he didn't know was that Dan was staying in one spot and throwing his voice around then attacking when the opportunity arose.
This continued on for several minutes before Dan decided on a little insurance. Throwing his voice right in front of Gin he waited for the reaction he hoped for. Gin whipped around thinking the attack would come from the back, leaving Dans target completely open. Rushing in as silently as he could he slashed at the back of Gins ankles, right at the Achilles tendon, not severing, but enough to keep him from moving. It turned out Dan was not a moment too soon, as thirty seconds after Gin fell to his knees the Moon came out in all its glory.
"Mizore san, you can release the fog now. Gin will be no problem" Dan called out in a tired voice. The fog lifted showing Mizore with a slight sheen of sweat and some labored breathing.
"Wow you really worked him over good" she said after seeing the bloody Gin glaring at him but unable to run due to his ankles.
"Well I needed to keep him off our asses, so I took away his movement" Dan replied glancing over to the awestruck Moka.
"I'm glad you knew a werewolfs weakness. I wouldn't have been much help if you lost" Mizore admitted an apathetic look descending on her face again.
"Well in all honesty I just got lucky. I didn't know his weakness and just used what I knew of the body to cut the ground out from under him" Dan chuckled to their wide eyes.
"Grr, when I get my hands on you-GAH" Gin started before Dan kneed him in the temple knocking him out.
"Go to fucking sleep. Goddamn anal dwelling butt monkey. Mizore san thanks again for the help. I don't want to be rude but I think miss Vampire over here needs a wakeup call" Dan said with a slight glare.
"What do you mean" asked Mizore a slight worry in her tone. Messing with a vampire is not wise after all.
"Oh don't worry, she won't attack me. You see I have information she wants, and she should know by now that neither threats nor violence will truly make me speak. She knows that I only give information when ready" Dan replied without looking away. Outer flinched and Mizore nodded before disappearing without a trace. Dan calmly walked over and yanked the Rosario off unleashing the flood of yokai to their environment. Before he could react Ura grabbed his arm and yanked it eliciting a sickening pop and his arm seeming to extend. Her eyes widened at his lack of response to what even she knew was a painful injury.
"The hell" she said.
"Hmm, I told you didn't I? You should have learned by now, that most pain doesn't affect me"
"But you hissed in pain the last time you popped it back in"
"Yeah, I admit I'm a thespian, I can't help but put on a show"
"What information do you have for me"
"Now now, I think an apology is in order for this little discrepancy" Dan said as he popped his arm back in place an arrogant smirk on his face.
Gritting her teeth she mumbled death threats under her breath.
"Ah good enough. Now you think you're the only one Adam does not trust. Bullshit. Every man has secrets. Hell I probably have secrets that would make you piss yourself. A couple years back Adam had a huge crush on this one girl he knew, Alice I think her name was. He would have given near ANYTHING for her. He had a brother that acted just like Adam does now. I want you to note the past tense used for both. You see something happened to them and Adam as well. One day when they were all having a good time…a kracken came about and killed Jason and Alice and tried to kill Adam. Jason was strangled to death with a broken neck and Alice was strangled with her heart pierced through. Adam was the only one to survive, but he still bears the scars of that day. Like I said, you are the ONLY one he allows near his neck. The fact that he even lets you FEED should tell you just how much he trusts you. I'm going to tell you this here and now, you doubt his trust again and I will fucking slaughter you, Vampire or not. In a crowd or alone, I don't give a flying fuck. You. Will. Die"
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Inner Moka and Dan were standing, the next morning, in front of a dorm room; smoke was filtering down from the bottom, at which Dan shook his head. "So he's smoking through the rest of it, and he said he'd save it – the fucking liar." At which point, the door was opened without ease. The sound of a box sliding gingerly across the floor caught their attention minorly, but the scream of Adam going "Oh Go Fuck Yourself!" caught their attention even more. Music seemed to be dying out, fading into another track, just as the sound of someone going "Gah!" was heard from a small Television, followed by Adam's grunt of "Fuck Off, Iris. Fuck. Off." Adam said with an angered growl, as he lied back down on the floor.
Another song was starting, and in pure English at that; it was incredibly fast, noted by Adam's fast mouth movements.
"What song is he listening to…?" The silver-haired beauty asked innocently.
"War, by HedPE."
"What does it even MEAN?!"
"Are you sure you wanna know?"
She nodded with a hum.
A sigh escaped Dan's voice; "The Police Man cannot Stop Me Now, I Smoke The Best Pot In Town, I Fuck A Slut I Cum Up In Her Mouth…" Dan translated drly.
Moka stared at him wide-eyed, almost abhorred by this, then looked back to Adam as he sat back up right; he was silent for a moment, rolling his hand to show the song to hurry the fuck up; this went on for another two minutes of his silence, then he waved his finger in the air. "Yeeeah motherfucker, Uncle Sam don't take no shit. I wake up, I start the day dreamin, I blaze up, I wait for the weekend. I go to the club, get fucked up, get my dick sucked, I don't give a fuck, I'm an American." He said without missing a fucking beat to the song, translated into fluent Japanese as well. After he finished that verse, he grabbed a remote and pointed it at his computer, flipping through a few different songs.
Placing it back down as 'Spirits of the Future Sun' began to blast from the loud-as-hell speakers, Adam didn't even look back at them as he picked up the controller.
"Playing 4 this time? Did you lose to Iris again?"
"Yeah, I did. Fucking whore. Now I'm playing a less stressful game…X2."
"Ah. Yeh…Then again, if you actually spent time on it, you might be good at that one."
"What game are you two talking about…?" Moka asked as she eyed her stoner, and vulgar friend.
"The Megaman X collection…" Dan said, gently placing a hand on her shoulder. "Don't interrupt him, he gets severely into it. Like, he will kill you if you get him killed. He's tried it three times before with me."
"Should we even be here then?"
"Just so long as you don't stand in front of the screen, go help yourself." Adam said, zipping through the introduction level like it was second nature.
"That reminds me. You told me your saving your shit! Now you're giving it away to everyone but me?!"
"That box you hit when you opened my door? Look inside of it. There's two more bags. One's for you, shithead."
"Sweet! I get my own stash!" Dan said as he picked the bag up. "Who'se the other one for?"
"Whoever's willing to fork over the cash for some Psycopathy Orange."
"Psycopothy Orange…?" Moka asked.
"Isn't this more powerful than Red?"
"Red?" Moka continued to ask, feeling ignored.
"Psycopothy Red is the weed that my….brother and I…grew some years ago." Adam said with a hint of anger and depression in his voice. "It's very potent, and known for its red tinge when you first pick it. Eventually it will become green, so it's best to smoke it as soon as you pick it."
"But what about Orange?"
"Psychopathy Orange is a deep, deeeeeep citrine bud at first, but it'll grey out eventually, like Red will. You have roughly three to four weeks to smoke it before it turns to Mids."
"Mids…?"
"It's a grade of Weed." Dan said.
Adam paused the game and held up a fist. "There are five grades. Dirt, Lows, Mids, Highs, Shit that'll rip your face clear the fuck off."
"There's a rumoured Sixth grade that'll make you forget you even had a name, let alone a face. We've never smoked that shit before. Psych Red is shit that'll rip your face clear off."
"That's when it had a chance to weaken over the span of two weeks. Picked and smoked the same day? It's shit that will make you forget how to breathe."
"However, Adam's never kept it that strong."
"I did when we first grew it. Worst mistake I've ever had."
"Why's that?" Moka inquired.
"There is a reason, besides the bud color, why it's called PSYCOPOTHY RED." Adam said.
"Makes you angry?"
"FFFFFUCK NO. Turns your vision red, and you go slightly crazy."
"What'd it do to an already crazy person?" Dan asked.
"Cure them?" Moka supplied.
"Put them into G Major Squared." Adam said dryly, before leaning backwards, after finishing his third stage on X2. "That takes care of the Gater, Ostrich, and the Crab."
"Did he just beat 3 bosses in…7 minutes?"
"You should see him when he's on his best days. He beat the ostrich, without it's weakness, in the span of a minute. 47 seconds, to be exact."
"You actually timed it?"
"Had to. We were gonna be late for something had we not. Plus I was curious."
"The late he mentioned, was the late for picking up our Chinese food…"
"You really…risked being late for take-out food for a video game? How addicted ARE you?!" Moka snapped at Adam.
"It's not called addiction, it's called being dedicated."
"Yup, can't be dedicated without getting to level 99 on each class on Diablo 2…"
"And….how long did it take you to pull that off?" Adam asked, looking back to Dan finally as he was randomly switching through the bosses.
"About..three weeks of sleepless nights?"
"In a row?"
"Give or take a day, there around." Dan said with a nod.
"I see." Adam said, still looking at them; what appeared to be a robotic stag spewing out fire for horns was jumping around him; Adam wasn't even giving much of a glance to the screen, if at all, while staring at Moka and Dan. The sound of explosions coming from the TV earned his attention as he turned back to look at the Maverick, and an eyebrow cocking on his own visage, as well as Moka's, and Dan shaking his head. "That, my friend, is addiction – to beat a boss without even looking…"
Adam shook his head and sighed. "It'd be even scarier had I not gotten hit."
"You only got hit once…and I was watching the whole battle." Moka said, eyebrow twitching.
"Errr….What?"
"She's right…Take a look at yer health – only one hit, or there about, from the boss."
"Hmm…I guess it isn't dedication anymore, is it?" Adam said while scratching his head, then shrugged. "Oh well, off to the sponge."
"Wait, what? Sponge?" Moka questioned. "You're…Not normal, are you, just by calling them one thing? What the hell is that…sponge supposed to be?!"
"…A sea cucumber, actually."
"Reeeallly..."She trailed off…"I have a strong urge to try it." Adam and Dan both looked at her, then to each other.
"Which one should we have her set out on…X 1? It's the easiest of the games…best for a beginner."
"So is X2…But I could be really mean and let her loose on X6. Fucking abomination."
"Eh, don't be that mean. Just set her up at one."
The three then wasted the rest of the day, lounging about and Moka, the silver-haired vampiress, the epitome of jaded, had found quite possibly, an immense amount of joy from simply running through the first stage – after one death, from not knowing the controls completely, and losing half life from the two helicopters, and succeeding after that.
"Adam…I feel so inadequate now. She's put my attempts to this game to complete and utter shame."
"I do believe that I now have found my gaming Protégé." Adam said while rubbing his forehead.
"Uhhh, Adam…Which one of these…creatures should I go for?"
"The penguin-lookin' thing. Good luck."
"I'm still your hacking protégé, yeah?!"
"Perhaps…Kumuru's catching up."
"What will be left for me then?!"
"Musically inclined protégé."
"No offense, but the only thing you could really teach me is bass. But when it comes to other instruments, I kinda beat you…and I have better vocals."
"The instruments isn't very true. I played a few back in the elementary to middle school days. You just see me play the bass the most."
"Eh…I doubt that."
"Fine…Then no protégé for you then?" He said with a sarcastic grin.
"You don't have anything else?!"
"Not really."
"God dammit! Our skill sets are weak!"
Adam looked over to Moka as she finally had nuked the penguin, leaving her with the Shotgun Ice. "Eagle looking thing next. Then you're on your own."
"You know…Watching her nuke that, it's really amazing that she can do this all so well, without having played it before."
"I doubt that it'll be much better after the Eagle." Adam said with a knowing nod. "If you can't find out what the Dash is, you're totally and completely fucked. Just saying."
"Isn't it a double tap on the same direction?" Moka asked.
"Inefficient way to do it, but yes."
"She already found the frickin' thing!"
"Dan, now that I think about it.." Moka said, pausing the game mid-jump. "Who was that girl who helped us out with Gin!?"
"That, dear Moka, was someone I met recently at the start of the school. She's a nice girl, little shy, but very nice."
"Thank you Boy Redundancy." Adam said, taking the controller back from Moka to start up X3.
"Fuck you, Adam. The point I'm trying to make is that until you get to know her, all you'll see is the shy side. By the way, she'll be joining us around lunch nowadays."
"Mmkay…" Adam said with a shrug. "Whatever works for you." He looked over at Dan and Moka now. "So, you gonna start ripping that shit or am I gonna have to smack you both?"
"Good point…Let's get ripping."
"Ripping…?"
"Mhm. Means taking a hit…" He pulled out his bat and placed some Psycopothy Red into the tube, then handed it to Moka, as well as a lighter.
"This Moka, is a momentous occasion. Your first time…I think I'm going to cry."
"Save that sentimental bullshit for some other time." He said with a sigh, looking over to his silent stereo. He flipped through the selections again, and smirked as 'Blaze Heatnix Stage' popped into view. "Awesome. Best stage in that game, honestly."
"And fitting as of this moment, no?"
"Mhm.." Both the boy's gaze turned to the slightly apprehensive vampire, and nodded a 'Go ahead.'
The rest of the day resulted in the trio hacking out their lungs, but otherwise relaxing to the tremendous beats that slammed throughout the dorm rooms.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
King: Well it certainly took us forever to get to this point. Cet is currently indisposed right now, so sadly I will be the only one giving the ending spiel to this chapter…fuck. I really don't have anything to say. Cet and I have both been dealing with an uncontrollable case of writers block. Life has been Hell but we finally have this chap done. Hopefully you guys like what we have here. Please read and review.
