Author's rambling area: Wooh! I'm finally able to update after a week! I have to say that I was a wee bit stuck with these two. Damn pocky monsters... Anyway, I would like to thank the following for their reviews.
fan-of-fantasy forever - Here's the update. ^_^
Amethyst Lynn Willow - I'm glad that you lkiked the previous one. ^_^
RimaTouyaXxSenrixX - Poor Akatsuki. Hehe... And I'll try to make an Ichijou X Sara. But I already have a running plot on the couple so there's a huge possibility that Ichijou X Sara will get the spot. And yes. Rido is the world's sexiest bad guy. ^_^
queenofspades19 - I'm glad you found it cute. ^_^
xXmoonlightangelXx - Yay you for being a yaoi fan girl again! And I will try to see if I can make that one possible. If I can't do it right away, maybe on the later chapters. And I don't know if Shiki will propose to Rima in this chapter. Maybe... Even I don't know what will happen in this chapter. ^_^
Anyway, I think this will be my last update for the week. But if I miraculously finish all the specials in one day, then yay! Anyway, I'm too lazy to make a long author's note. So on with the chapter!
~ I don't own Vampire Knight. Sad, right?
SPECIAL: Shiki Senri and Touya Rima
The Adventures of a Famous Male Model
Now I know what Akatsuki was talking about a few minutes ago.
~Flashback... Is this even possible? Text appearing out of nowhere, I mean~
'Shiki, be careful. Be sure to shut your head to outside forces.' he told me through the phone.
'What are you talking about?' I asked, starting to get the vibe that Aidou is starting to rub it off him.
'People will randomly pop inside your head and make you talk.' he said. Okay, he is being crazy.
'Yeah... And horses can fly.' I said, sarcasm dripping from my words. Luckily, Rima's already asleep because if she's awake and happen to hear this, she might be having her laughing fit.
'I'm serious.' He said.
'Okay, okay. I'll be sure to 'shut my mind' to strangers.' I said.
'Make sure you do. Good night.' He said.
'Night.' Then I hang up.
~End of flashback~
Okay, people... What do you want from me? If you want money, I'll give it to you. I'll give you anything you want just leave me alone! Well, except for one... No. Two things... Scratch that. Make it three.
ONE! You CANNOT have MY BABIES!! They're Rima's
TWO! You CANNOT have ME! I'm Rima's
THREE but THE MOST IMPORTANT! You CANNOT and WILL NEVER HAVE my POCKY!
Okay? We have a deal. Now, what do you want to know? You're interested to know more about numbers one and two? Nosy people...
Anyway, if that will make you go away and will make you stay away from me and Rima's pocky stash, okay. It's a deal.
Weeeeeeeeeeell, it was like this...
Rima and I met on a studio. Of course, we knew that the other was a vampire. So we decided to be nice to each other. And then, our managers noticed that we seem to be so close to each other that they decided to pair us up. We didn't mind. Why would we mind if we enjoyed each other's company?
...
Stop that lovey-dovey face. It's making me sick. Only Rima is allowed to do the lovey-dovey face and the lovey-dovey dance.
Anyway, yeah. So we became friends. Then one day, she came in to the studio with a box of pocky. But of course, I didn't know it was called that. So I asked her. She said that it's pocky and it's something that you eat. Then she gave me a stick. On my first bite, I have already decided it's the love of my life... Second to Rima. But I did not know the word love back then. We were 12, for crying out loud.
So time passed for us with boxes of pocky to share almost everyday and each other company to ward off the boredomness.
...
Stop that... Seriously... It's giving me the urge to throw you out of my window and never ever see your lovey-dovey faces.
Anyway, when we turned 13, we recieved an invitation to study at Cross Academy. Well, my answer is if Rima is going, so would I. So I asked her and she said she's not sure either. So we paid little attention to the invitation. Although I felt a nagging sensation at my chest that told me to attend Cross Academy, I ignored it because Rima is ignoring it.
Then one day, Rima told me something.
'Shiki, I want you to find my pocky.' she said.
'Okay. Where did you put it?' I asked.
'I won't tell you because I said you go find it. I'll give you a hint. It's not in this city. It's in the next of the next city.' She said. 'If you found the box, then we will go to Cross Academy.'
So I accepted. The very next day, I went out of city to search for a strawberry-flavored pocky box with the name Touya Rima.
I knocked from house to house, store to store, building to building, asking if they have a pocky box with the name Touya Rima. Some people kindly repied 'no'. While some are just so rude that I have to resist the urge to summon my blood whip and wipe them off this planet.
Anyway, I did not have food with me so I have to spend money for my food. And since I don't have any relatives at the area, I have to stay at hotels. But the money I have with me was not enough. Soon, I ran out of money and I became bank-rupted. Luckily, many people know me by just my appearance and helped me. But that one also did not last long. Soon, I began to wander to places and sleep from house to house and pose for under paid agencies. For food, sometimes, people would give me. Sometimes, I have to steal. I even stole boxes of pocky from kids just to feed myself. It was tough.
Just when I was about to go back home without anymore hope of finding Rima's box of pocky, I saw a boy eating a strawberry flavored pocky. But that was not what caught my attention. The box have the name Touya Rima. So I ran to the boy and asked for the box of pocky. He said no so I threted to beat him to pulp if he did not give me the box. And so he gave it to me and ran away.
With a triumphant smile on my face, I went to Rima's house and gave her box of pocky. She looked surpised. I guess she really wasn't expecting me to find the box. And so that's how we got to Cross Academy.
Life was happy there despite the annoying fan girls, Aidou whining almost everyday, Aidou and Ruka quarreling almost everyday (sometimes, it's musing but it's annoying most of the time), the sun and having to keep Aidou from our pocky stash (just like what I'm doing right now).
After we graduated, Rima and I decided to just stay under one roof. We go to shoots together. We go the mall together. We go to parties together. We do almost everything together. And we've been living together for 8 years and still, we have not encountered any problem. well, not really. There were some but it's not really important. Huh? You want to hear about our problems? You sure are nosy.
Well, it wasn't really that big. It was just an arguement over a box of pocky. But that one was quickly resolved when we decided to just share over the box. Nothing big.
...
Is that all you want to know? No? Geez... When will you stop bothering me? I want to go to sleep I should have listened to Akatsuki... Fine, fine! I'll tell you if you promise to let me sleep afterwards.
So I asked Rima to be my girlfriend 3 years ago after a photoshoot. But of course, she set me on a mission.
"Shiki, I want you to look for my box of pocky." She said.
"Where did you put it?" I asked. Just like the old times.
"I won't tell you because I'm telling you to look for it. I'll give you a hint. It's on a different country, the country that is next to the name of this country." Rima said. "If found that box, then, okay. I'll be your girlfirend."
And so once again, I've set on for a journey. But this time, I made sure I have lots food and money and clothes with me. And I also made sure to rent an apartment.
I asked different people from house to house, building to building, store to store if they saw a pocky box with the name Touya Rima. Some people looked at me strangely and then walk to the opposite direction. Some people laughed at me. Some people kindly replied 'no'. Some people even tried to pick a fight. Too bad they lost to me even though I'm too lazy to pick a fight.
But still, I did not found the item I'm looking for. This is tougher than I thought. It's okay if it's a city. But this is a country. I've been away from home for more than 2 months. I'm not doubting the fact that Rima is still singel I know her and she keeps her word.
I was about to give up the hope of ever finding Rima's box of pocky when I reached the last city of the country. I did the usual procedure. I asked different people if they saw a box of pocky with Rima's name in it. Still, none of them saw her pocky.
I was on my way to the airport to go back home when I saw a guy eating pocky. But that was not that caught my attention. The box has Rima's name in it. I told the driver to stop as I ran to the guys with Rima's pocky. I kindly asked for the box of pocky from the guy but he rudely declined. That ends with me threatening the guy to give me the box if he wants to see the sun. Still he declined so I was forced to beat him up and me having Rima's box of pocky.
I rode back my taxi with a triumphant smile on my face. When I rode my plane, I realized that the guy who had Rima's pocky and the boy who once had Rima's pocky are the same person. Poor guy. He has to be a victim of Rima's game. Oh well...
When I arrived, the first thing I did was go to Rima's house. She did not looked shocked because she already got the feeling that I will bring back her box. And so that's how Rima became my girlfriend.
...
Will you please let me sleep now? I'm really really tired. And stop the lovey-dovey face! You're not Rima. Anyway, i've done my side of the deal and I will now go to sleep and I will not let you disturb me. And most of all, YOU will NEVER get my POCKY! Oyasumi.
Author's rambling area: Wooh! I'e finally finished the chapter. Hopefully, I've made it good. Wish me luck, guys. I'll be dancing once again for a presentation and for the dancing exercises. Anyway, I will not make this long so review!
