A Japanese Weresheep in Mutsuba Town

Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.

Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.

Summary:

There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.


Chapter 34: No-Holds-Barred Bout

Yuhi got home late from tsukemen at Menjaburo's restaurant. By that time, Yuamu, Yudias, and three out of eight of the UTS8 had broken out the juice and set up for karaoke.

It was just Chupataro that'd be joining. Mokeida had to be rested up for the launch of The*Luge's spacecraft tomorrow, Glatt had promised he'd tuck his sister in, Menjaburo was doing some ninja stuff for Yuna, and Arai-san and the rest of the Go and Shogi Club were old folks in need of shut-eye.

The UTS8 were spryer for their age.

Take Arisugawa-san: He was unadulterated awesome. Had they not been aware of his previous career in animation, Yuhi and Yuamu suspected he could've easily made a name for himself as a pro in the music industry.

Ah, no matter what anyone says, it's the best Duel!
That's why this rush of dash won't stop
Full throttle everyday
Because rigid theories are boring
Irregular and unprecedented game
In short, watch out! Don't get caught
You too, watch out! Don't get pummelled
That's why DRAW! DRAW! DRAW! Come on!
Just have fun

The twins did a duet to a song called "One Way" that Yuhi rigged into the karaoke machine by rearranging its internal circuitry (no questions, please!). Seesawing between one another, their pace was fresh and poppin'!

Now, ABCD"UTS"
Let's call this crazy lineup correct
Hey, somebody please hit me
Nothing's better than a high-risk, no-return Go, rush!
The past, present, and future – We can fly anywhere!
If we sketch it out in our minds
There's nothing that's impossible for us
'Cause we don't need to understand anything
Just continue your turn the way you see fit
Ra-ta-ta~
Ra-ta-ta~
We just follow our mind…
Ra-ta-ta~
Ra-ta-ta~

Yudias and Tazaki-san, by and by, killed.

No, no, don't get confused. They didn't kill it. They killed.

Nobody recalls what song they sang. Tazaki-san lifted up the mic stand and screeched into the mic while Yudias breathed heavy, huffing breaths into his. Their singing was of such appalling "quality," Yuhi, Chupataro, and Arisugawa-san sealed their hands over their ears to spare their eardrums. Yuhi, moreover, feared he was going into Earthdamar convulsions. Yuamu put her head down on the table and sobbed, while Purisaki-san lost consciousness and had to be resuscitated!

Tazaki-san and Yudias' terrible karaoke made Manabu's karaoke sound amazing, Chupataro decided.

They were every one of them thankful when it was over, but scared Tazaki-san and Yudias' turn would come again.

Last up during the first rotation was Chupataro.

"This ought to be good," Yuhi joshed.

The shocker was Chupataro could sing. And not just passably! He could actually sing! It was a far cry from the basic "Mememelody! Cattle Meetimeetion!" which even Yudias couldn't completely butcher.

Get down Get down
Watch out, man
It's a no-holds-barred bout

Although Yudias and Yuamu would have many words of rave for Chupataro later on, Yuhi was currently speechless.

What story will your rusted fist tell?
Maybe it's a tomorrow you're still unable to see
Aim for the future your heart's voice calls for
With past hopes in your heart, go on and don't look back

Yuamu and Purisaki-san clapped. Chupataro latched on to the heat of the moment. He leapt out of his robot, his taloned feet on the table. He squeezed a claw to the music. Performing his socks off, much as he was required to do in the voice recording sessions for the Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan anime. Sweat teeming from his brow. The TV glaring behind his dewy hair. Neither a "chupa" nor a "cabra" anywhere in the lyrics.

Woah~! Woah~! Woah~oh oh oh! Don't look back Woah~! Woah~! Woah~oh oh oh!

Yuhi's sentiments exactly. His eyes and ears were fettered to Chupataro. Mesmerized. His palate was depleted of its moisture. His cheeks were flush with blood.

Oh brother! Yuamu saw him with his mouth agog and smiled out of the corner of his eye. She had to snap her fingers in his face after the song ended to snap him out of his stupor.

"How was that, chupa?" Chupataro reseated himself in his robot and pressed Yuhi for his feedback.

Yuhi still couldn't speak. He drivelled at best.

Chupataro interpreted this as an inkling he did bad. Worse, Yuhi's motor system selected that hitch in communication to reboot, and his limbs lurched him outside to get air.

But Chupataro tailed him onto the balcony. Yuhi's knuckles were white from clasping the edge, and he was heaving over it as though he were one spook shy of throwing up over it.

"What's gotten into you, chupa?"

"Y-you. Your sing –!"

"Chupa's singing…It's lame, isn't it, cabra?"

"N-no! It's not! You were great!"

"Then why did you run off, chupa?"

Yuhi kept fumbling for breaths and for words like he was drowning on dry land. He could take cute and he could take cool, but this was the first time he was seeing Chupataro in this light.

"Chupataro, y-you…"

"What, chupa?"

"Y-you were…"

"Chuuu?"

"You were hot."

"CH-CHUPA? W-what did you say just now?"

Chupataro would be "Chupapapapapapa!"-ing briefly. Yuhi braced for it.

Chupataro leaned in, gave Yuhi a peck, and drew back. Difficult to make the distinction, but suited up in his robot, Chupataro was slightly, slightly taller than Yuhi if you ignored Yuhi's alien-sensitive shoot of hair.

Yuhi leaned back in.

Foreheads touching.

A night without breeze.

"Can Chupa –?"

Yuhi chuckled. He knew it wouldn't last. "Fire away. My ears are clogged up from bleedin' cuz of Tazaki-san and Yudias' singing! I can tough it out!"

"You asked for it! Chupa won't hold back, chupapapapapapa!"
