Disclaimer: I do not own the Kamisama Hajimemashita/Kamisama Kiss series or any of the characters who have been featured so far. I only own the scenarios featured in this fanfiction. I also do not own the song King For a Day, that has only been used to mock Tomoe and in no way do I insult the artist or band Sleeping With Sirens, as they are fab.
Chapter 28: Prank Wars
A/N: Reminder: 2 Chapters remaining! Requested by ebonyrose778 c:
'Hey, Tomoe?'
'Yes, Nanami?'
'In this book, it says kitsunes are huge pranksters. Why aren't you?'
The familiar turned and found the goddess rolled on her back reading a book on myths and legends.
'Who says I'm not?' he mumbled, returning to dusting the already immaculate furniture.
'Well you've never pranked me or anyone in the Shrine, for that matter.'
He snorted. 'I'm a familiar, not some kind of uncivilised low-class demon. I can control my urges.'
Nanami muttered something incomprehensible.
'What was that?' he growled, his ears twitching irritably.
'Or maybe you just can't prank. Uncivilised? More like too tame.'
Tomoe gritted his teeth. 'I'm a much more competent prankster than you.'
'Oh yeah?' Nanami queried, rolling onto her front. 'Prove it.'
'How so?'
'One versus one match. Whoever can make the other admit defeat first wins. Using no means of magic. The loser has to do an impersonation of Kellin Quinn and that includes the screaming!' Nanami grinned, with a glint in her eye.
'Very well. Prepare to be defeated.'
Nanami and Tomoe shook hands with a determined shine in their eyes.
How's breakfast, Nanami? Tomoe thought smugly. Beneath the porridge oats were several layers of shiitake mushrooms. Eat up!
'Thanks for breakfast, Tomoe, but I'm not as stupid as you look. I know full well you did something to the porridge,' Nanami said casually and used chopsticks to fish out a mushroom. 'Gross.'
She grabbed her lunchbox and walked out the room ignoring Tomoe's astounded face.
Nanami emerged from the bathroom in pyjamas and drying her hair with a fluffy beige towel. She smiled at Tomoe and headed out the room. He glared at her suspiciously but entered the bathroom and prepared to take his shower.
Everything went perfectly until he exited, did a male-model hair flick and Mizuki began to chortle.
'What?' Tomoe asked irritably.
'Y-your hair!' Mizuki rolled around laughing. The fox demon grumbled his way to a mirror and then flinched back in shock.
His hair!
His perfect, shiny, silver hair! The silky strands were dyed hot pink, and contrary to popular belief, salmon was so not his colour. That girl!
He barely heard Nanami snickering in the other room over his enraged yells of horror.
'Nanami, darling, how's your day going?'
'I only just got to school, Kurama.'
'Oh how you jest, my sweet chinchilla,' the tengu laughed delightfully.
'What's with the pet names?' Nanami asked with a raised eyebrow.
'Aw, babes, you're silly, all couples talk like this, since you got Tomoe to ask me out – which, by the way, is totally adorable – I've vowed to be the best boyfriend in Japan!'
In the background, Kurama's fan girls squealed indignantly.
Nanami ground her teeth together. That damn fox.
Tomoe grabbed the sweeping brush and prepared for some hardcore sweeping! Or that was the plan, if it weren't for the fact he slipped on the floor boards of the porch and fell flat on his face. As he prepared to get up and dry the boards off, Nanami stood from beneath the porch boards and began dousing Tomoe with water from the hose pipe. He spluttered, his pink hair plastered to his face and him shivering like he was in the middle of the Arctic. Oh he was so going to get her for this!
Tomoe grinned wickedly and exited Nanami's room. He would sleep well tonight.
A high pitched shrieking awoke Nanami from her slumber. It was Sunday, the day she woke up late, so it must be past twelve already. It didn't feel that late at all. She checked the time on her phone and blanched. It was half four in the morning! Where on earth was her alarm clock?! Where did that smartass Tomoe put it?! After half an hour searching, Nanami emerged triumphantly, planted it in Tomoe's room, still ringing, and lay down in an attempt to return to her dream.
'Nanami-chan, are you and Tomoe having a pranking competition?'
'Um, yeah, I guess we are,' the goddess mumbled, browsing through a magazine looking for more extravagant tricks.
'Can I join in?'
'Sorry but it's just us two this time. Maybe next time.'
'Well can I at least give you a hint?' Mizuki smiled tantalisingly.
Nanami dropped the magazine.
'NANAMI! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?'
'It's a dog!' she grinned. 'I'm looking after it for a while. Isn't he a cutie?'
The husky barked twice loudly and jumped up the fox demon.
'G-GET IT OFF! RETURN IT AT ONCE!'
'On one condition!'
'Anything!'
'You lose the game!' Nanami grinned.
Tomoe sighed heavily. 'Done.'
On a more cheerful note, the Shrine and most of the neighbourhood got to experience Tomoe singing King For a Day and completely tearing up his throat screaming while his vibrant pink hair rippled in the breeze.
A/N: I love Kellin Quinn. You should too, though I doubt most of you have even heard of him :c Search him into Youtube and have a good listen to his amazing music!
