Hi again, as you can see my updates aren't regular at all! Sorry about that!
Here are 'drabbles' 11 to 15, and yes only 5 because I wrote almost two drabbles (in size) in one each time (especially the last one of this chapter), and if I had to wait until I had 10 drabbles written, well that would have meant for you guys to wait until December. In any case I hope you'll like them!
Feel free to point out if anything is weird, different than what you think it should be or just if you have a comment! ;)
DISCLAIMER: is as always, nothing belongs to me and that's too bad but c'est la vie.
Chapter 2: 11-15
Weak
(Nene/Furuichi)
She can't even remember how many times he tried to flirt with her or with other Red Tail girls. If she recalled the Christmas couple thing particularly, he really was stupid looking, an imaginary boner almost getting real in his pants. Hopefully nothing weird happened and they eventually lost and quitted playing, to the guy's displeasure. But still that's when he had said he would maybe introduce her to Misaki Oga, and he finally did a month or so later. He was in a very peculiar state, divided in three annoying parts but that was still him, eyeing her while in a shower, but she knew him enough already to put on a bikini before taking the shower.
She believed that he actually kept his promises and that may be the only good thing about him, since she got to meet the legendary Misaki with him at her side. She refused to think he may be not that bad because as a the future 4th leader she couldn't get into liking men or maybe, she thought sometimes, it was more that she couldn't get into liking a guy like him, a pervert (just your average teen boy really), totally weak and unable to fight (but he still stuck to Oga, who brought him nothing but troubles) but she had to admit he would go anywhere to try protecting girls he usually flirted with. That didn't make him more of a man, but the 4th leader-to be thought that it made him…cute somehow, but she preferred to stick to the annoying pervert calling in public.
Proud
(Misaki)
Misaki was a feminist. It probably came from her mother, the strongest between her two parents, who had taught her since she was little that girls and women had to fight through life because that's what had happened in mom's life. But then she had a little brother.
At first she thought he was going to be like dad, quite weak but it turned out he had mom's strength as well and mom was happy about it. But Misaki was still a feminist at heart so when she founded the Red Tails, a girl-only clan, to teach men how to respect women, she decided that her brother would also be educated. And so she did, with kicks and fists but also with fights against other clans.
Now she's nineteen and Tatsumi's sixteen, he apparently beat up the big guys of his school and became the top dog and she's proud to see him so strong and still never beating up women, respecting what she taught him. She truly hopes he'll teach the same to his son so Beel can become someone to be proud of as well.
Friends
(Kaoru Jinno)
He's been friends with Hidetora Toujou, the strongest guy of the TouHouShinKi, since he was just Tora, the 10 years old boy who was looking for trouble to get stronger in order to evade the destitution of his neighborhood. With Shizuka, they were three all the time since grade school.
Then came Shoji Aizawa at the end of middle school, who was admiring Tora's strength. At first, Kaoru thought of him as a replacement for Shizuka, who had left their group the same year to go into another school, so that way they were still three in his group of friends.
Back in the present, they are in their last year of high school and with that Oga guy trying to beat the whole TouHouShinKi, a lot of guys from the school want to be a part of the 'Toujou Clan'. Kaoru was bugged at first, not wanting too many guys becoming close to Toujou because he has a limited capacity to be nice around people, but Tora didn't want any of those guys to be around him so it's still just the three of them. That's when Kaoru knows he's a real friend to Tora, not just a dumb follower, and he's glad he is because from 10 to 18 years old, that's totally going for a life-lasting friendship.
Nicknames
(Kanzaki & Hanazawa)
This all started with a normal day at Ishiyama High, when Shiroyama told them that Yuka-chan would arrive a bit late to the reunion the whole TouHouShinKi and Co were having. For Paako to be called 'Yuka-chan' in his presence was feeling disturbing especially by such a close friend like Shiroyama. He did no comment about it, though, thinking it was just a moment thing, not meaning a lot.
Then she arrived, late as he predicted, and she came to them thanking Shiro-chan for informing the others. Kanzaki definitely felt uneasy with her calling Shiroyama Shiro and not feeling disturbed at all.
He casted a look at Natsume, but the guy wasn't apparently finding it weird, so why was he feeling so angry about the whole nickname thing?
Kanzaki decided to talk to Shiroyama (and not Shiro) about it. Shiroyama answered simply that she was hanging around them so much that it felt natural calling her that. But what about 'Shiro'? , he asked Natsume. Well apparently she took on calling him Shiro after hearing Natsume calling him that all the time.
That still didn't give a sense to why he was feeling so angry, after all Paako was Paako and NOT Yuka-chan. And that's when Natsume asked if maybe the Yuka-chan nickname was supposed to be reserved for him. After hearing that, Kanzaki locked his mouth and threw away the key, swearing to himself to never ask about nicknames ever again.
Jealousy
(Izuma, Toujou/Shizuka)
Izuma's life had really begun when he had arrived at Saint Ishiyama, the first place that wasn't his home that he felt comfortable when going to. How many times had he changed school before finally arriving in St. Ishiyama? He had lost count himself, but he would always remember his arrival here, the meeting with the director, who was like him, with a demon half part. For the first time of his life, he felt understood and belonging to a world, definitely not the same he was living in when at Nara.
That's also there that he met with the five other horsemen: Alex Shinjo strong at boxing but wanting to become a pianist, Sakaki with his eyes closed, Hideki Gou and his weird club, Hisaya that he knew from Nara already and finally the only woman of their group, Nanami Shizuka, captain of the archery club.
Nanami was probably the first girl of his age who talked to him without fear, even after he showed the horsemen how strong he was, easily taking the head of their little group. She was like a right-hand man… or woman, always behind him, rectifying whenever he did something wrong, but standing on an equal feet, never disrespecting him but never letting him boss her around.
She was the first woman he fell in love with. Not that he would ever let her know, but even if he got along with Alex, Sakaki, Gou and Hisaya, Nanami felt like above them all because she was as strong as them while being delicate, like a rose with its beauty and its thorns.
He had fun at her sides, seeing her every day, laughing and taking care of school business, but all that crumbled when a class opened to greet the delinquents from Ishiyama High. He knew some of them by names, like Kunieda Aoi, Oga and his baby and Toujou Hidetora, the biggest jerk of all history.
He didn't know that Toujou and Shizuka knew each other and were friends from before. He didn't realize that the conflict between the horsemen and those outsiders had brought the two close just like before.
He hates that "before time".
That's why he took on Toujou's ridiculous challenge to show her that he's stronger and that Toujou means nothing in their world, and she is there to see it, watching over their fight, but not here for him, of that he's painfully aware.
She's here for that idiot, worried for him, and he has the impression of being back to Nara, fighting against one who wanted to and watching the guy's friends worrying for him because he's too strong and too violent, and he hates that feeling.
Their fight wasn't even able to find a conclusion in the end, but he already knows that he lost to Toujou. They're both in a bad shape, but he was the one who was able to counter the demons' attack and to save Nanami from them. Because of all that, he understands why she always smiles whenever she casts a glance at her old friend but that doesn't mean he can accept it.
His mistake was probably to underestimate Toujou, and he's paying that fact now, watching her put his coat back on her friend, stroking his face and looking for wounds. He knows she doesn't see him any differently even if he lost to the demons, it's just that her heart has gone to Toujou. At that thought he feels like puking.
He actually does when he realizes that Toujou probably didn't even notice she has fallen for him.
Hope you liked it! I'll update again once I'll have several more written!
A few things I wanted to say to end this.
- First, just like last time, give me ideas guys! I don't accept boyxboy or OgaxHilda LOVE (in both case) but everything else is fine, M-rated stuff as well (I thought about doing a special chapter of M-rated drabbles, once I'll have enough M-rated drabble).
So, give me your ideas (several ideas in one review are definitely okay), but PLEASE, please remember that this work is NOT about filling requests. I think it's great that you guys give me ideas on how you think the characters should interact with each other, in love, friendship or as rivals, so we can exchange and product more stuff for this work that you will enjoy reading and me, that I'll enjoy writing, but I am NOT a kink meme or anything of the sort.
So I'd like you to be precise on what you're asking, don't just go and throw your ideas like that, otherwise that won't help and I won't be able to know what to write and this work will die.
- Last thing (I promise, I know I ramble a lot), you may have noticed or you will notice that I have a thing for Kanzaki/Hanazawa and Toujou/Shizuka since they have more drabbles than other characters or pairings, and well sorry for those who don't like them but they are my two favorite pairings and ideas for them come naturally so... I guess you'll always have one drabble of them by chapter! ;)
Okay guys, I'll see you around (soon I hope) and feel free to tell me what you thought of those 5 looong drabbles! ;)
