The New Year Bash!
By Jennifier D.
Part IV: The Party II
The fire quickly engulfed the whole Auditorium, sealing off all the exits.
They burned with a merry, bright glow, and certain people began to scream
again.
"Don't worry. It's not really burning." Miyu assured everyone with a smirk.
"Oh, that's cool then." Karen returned her smile.
Hiei observed the flames covering the building, then experimentally touched
one of them. Warm, but not scorching. Good. With a grin, he laid back
against the burning wall, enjoying the sight of the fiery glow. If the
people here want to act like demented twerps, sure, go ahead. He wouldn't
bother trying to talk them back into sanity. What if they converted him into
a fruitcake too? So the best was to steer clear of all suspicious people.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO! SAVE ME! SAVE ME! THEY ARE ALL GOING TO KILL
ME!" Relena wailed, changing her target from Heero's neck to Heero's waist.
The moment Heero actually _managed_ to pry her off his neck, she started
clinging onto his waist. Duo nibbled on Heero's ear, muttering something
into it at the same time. The latter shrugged, then started working on
prying off Relena again.
"A little bit of fire won't kill anyone," Shinji muttered. "At least, I hope
it won't kill anyone."
"That's it!" Duo let go of Heero, face red. "Relena Dorian, you can have
Heero! He's all yours until the end of this year!"
Heero turned to give Duo a baleful glare.
"I'm not fighting with you anymore, you hear me?!" Duo shouted into Relena's
ears, clenching his fists tight.
Relena passed out from joy.
Masato grinned idiotically at Ace, then leaned his head on the latter's
broad shoulder. Ace sighed and leaned his head against Masato's. Several
empty punch cups surrounded them, signifying that they had been drinking
quite an amount of the 'fruit juice', as they called it.
"Masato..." Ace mumbled, shaking his head to prevent his vision from
swimming. "You know... you've always been pretty."
Masato turned crimson.
"And I really wished that you didn't hate me that much."
The two of them sat there in silence, reminiscing about their past and the
brief teenage years which they shared.
Masato suddenly turned to look at Ace with teary eyes.
"Ace!"
"Masato!"
The two hugged each other.
"We'll always remain as the best of friends, right?" Ace asked tearfully.
"I'm not taking this anymore! What the *bleep*ing *bleep* a *bleep*
*bleep*!!" Shinji stood up as Asuka trod on his feet for the fifth time,
crushing the punch cup in his hand and spilling the drink all over Ayanami
Rei.
Ayanami turned her sullen red eyes to the Third Child, then stared at her
splattered dress.
"Oops. Sorry..." Shinji muttered as he crashed into the floor, passing out.
Rei returned to watching the screaming going on all over the room.
"Ijyuin, who mixed the punch?" Suou asked Akira suspiciously as he watched
Shinji fall to the ground face first. He had a dreadful feeling about the
contents of the giant punch bowl. *Ouch. His face going to hurt bad when he
wakes up.*
"Arisugawa-san?"
"Damned."
"Takamura-sempai?"
"Nothing!"
Fuu clutched Ferio's hand as they stared at the scenario. Hikaru had gone
off to sulk in a corner, Umi was still chasing Mokona even though it had
lost her sandwich some time back. Eagle and Lantis were nuzzling each other
in one of the loveseats around and Clef had gone to lie down on a similar
seat with an excuse of a splitting headache.
"Ah... should we go now?" Ferio asked Fuu rather uncertainly.
"Maybe. Why don't we inform Nokoru-san first?" Fuu scanned the room for any
signs of their host, then blushed.
"...I think not."
"What did you just say?" Ferio tilted his head to one side in question.
"N-nothing! It's best not to interrupt the both of them now." Fuu tried
desperately to hide her flaming cheeks from Ferio.
"Why are you so flushed?"
"Ah..."
"Fuu! I think I've found... them..." Ferio trailed off, staring intensely
into one of the not so dark shadows. A trail of blood began to trickle down
Ferio's nostril as he developed a serious nosebleed. "Oh."
"Ferio-san!" Fuu clapped her hands over his eyes, still blushing furiously.
She sneaked a glance at the certain patch of shadows, then turned redder.
Ginga flicked his hair back, then stared at the mass of shouting people,
bored. Shinobu and Ikazuchi were slapping each other like they were long
lost buddies and he frankly didn't want to know what Hishou and Kazuya were
doing. An unconscious young man laid next to him, with spirals for eyes. It
seemed as though he was one of the causalities from certain accidents which
resulted due to a hot-headed blue-haired girl. And to make it worse, the
whole building was BURNING.
The young man stirred.
Ginga leaned over him with a concerned look. After all, it never hurt to
help someone who was in need of help.
Ken opened his eyes to see a lavender-haired girl whose head was framed by a
burning halo. "Tenshi..."
*Angel?* Ginga thought to himself with surprise. *He knows that I'm from the
Angel?*
"Tenshi..." Ken mumbled again, and passed out on Ginga's lap.
Ginga sighed and replaced the ice pack on the young man's head. *He must be
suffering from a pretty bad concussion, from the looks of it. Damned lucky
guy too... his head didn't break after that bash. The chair certainly
suffered no harm from that little swing.*
Usagi wailed again as Minako slapped her hard on her shoulder. Since Rei
wasn't around to discipline the silly blonde, she, as the leader for the
Sailor Senshi should take over.
"But Mina-chan! I was just eating the food!" Usagi whined at Minako.
"You are going to finish the whole spread at this rate." Minako pointed out
rather unhappily.
"But the food here is for eating!"
"They are for _everyone_ to eat, Usagi-chan, not only for you."
"I'm only eating a little!"
"You have finished three platters of sandwiches, one platter of ham rolls,
two platters of jelly, three plates of fish balls..."
"Okay!" Usagi relented, hearing Minako recite the amount of food she just
ate. "I'll stop... but that will be after I finish this!"
Usagi carried a whole platter of fried shrimps with their accompanying dip
off.
Minako twitched.
Kamui turned to Subaru with a nervous smile as the two walked into the
Auditorium. First of all, they had no idea how they could get into a burning
building and it took Kamui some time to figure out that the flames were not
real. He was still wondering how Nokoru managed that startling effect. Now,
they stared at the party floor, both with looks of disbelief plastered all
over their faces as they digested the facts of what was going on. Instead of
the orderly party they were expecting, it was simply a mass of drunken and
screaming people, and not to mention a building that was burning and not
exactly burning. "Anou..."
"Looks like what I said wasn't true, then," Subaru remarked to himself
thoughtfully. "Murphy's Law is having revenge. Anything that can go wrong
_will_ go wrong."
"Subaru..."
"Why don't we return to the mansion?"
"Yeah, but we have to inform Nokoru first." Kamui smiled at the older man.
Subaru nodded his head, returning Kamui's brillant smile with a sparse one.
"Oh, Nokoru's... there..." Subaru trailed off with raised eyebrows.
"Ne? Where?" Kamui peered into the flames, straining his eyes.
"I don't think there's a need." Subaru said quietly then led Kamui out, with
the confused youth trying to understand why Subaru was in such a hurry to
leave.
Youji regarded Aya with a nervous smile as the latter was still smiling.
"Aya, why are you so happy?"
"I really don't know!" Aya growled, but the effect was ruined when his lips
continued to turn up at the sides.
"Aya-kun, why don't you lie down for a while?" Omi asked the grinning
redhead nervously.
"There is no such need."
"H-hai..."
"And Youji?"
Youji jumped, his shades sliding down his nose to rest at the very tip as he
watched Aya warily.
"You can stop fidgeting. Just because I'm grinning at you doesn't mean I'm
going to bite you."
Hishou blanched, then flushed, and blanched, then flushed again. This went
on for several moments before he could finally still the raging emotions
running through him.
*Kazuya kissed me... Kazuya kissed me... Kazuya kissed me... Kazuya KISSED
me?!* Hishou screamed internally, then glanced down at the grinning redhead
in his arms. *Ruri will kill me when she finds out!*
"Hishou-kun~" Kazuya murmured again, then snuggled into Hishou's arms.
Kyle dropped his jaws, making an awful ringing sound as the fact -Kazuya had
just _kissed_ Hishou and was currently dozing in his arms like a kitten-
caught up with his brain after a nice little merry-go-round in his head.
*The alcohol fumes must be getting to my brains...*
"Kazuya! How can you do that?!" Kyle wailed, followed by a whole chain of
half-English, half-Japanese gibberish that sounded more like some sort of
lost African aboriginal language. People turned to stare at him.
An eye fluttered, but Kazuya made no other move. Turning his face to the
other side, Kazuya snuggled deeper into Hishou's arms, a sweet, innocent
smile on his face. "Hishou-kun is so nice..."
Luche, who was watching all these unobserved, raised an eyebrow,
contemplating the amount of psychological damage the feminine-looking
redhead could do to the other.
Hishou closed his eyes, then willed himself to calm down. It was no use
getting all worked up over the fact that Kazuya just kissed him. His brain
was still currently numb with shock and he had a hard time trying to filter
out all the gory details of what Kazuya would do to him when he found out
about that. Kazuya most probably would not only skin him, bleed him dry and
flay him in boiling oil. He most probably would also string him up by his
toes and send snapping hounds after him. And there would still be more
horrible things to come.
Hiei was enjoying the little chase the girls were making on the white
bouncing animal, thinking that with his speed he could probably catch it in
less than half a second. And someone slammed him hard on his back. Again.
First, it was Yuusuke who decided that Hiei shouldn't brood in a corner of
the room, but he soon grew bored from talking to someone who was intent on
becoming part of the wall so he left. Now Hiei turned around with a look
that could kill but the anger in his eyes faltered a little when he saw that
it was Koenma.
"What?" he muttered gruffly.
"Hie? Hae you fund Kurma anbwher?" Koenma slurred, then took a sip out of
the cup in his hand.
"No."
"'kay." Koenma mumbled, then staggered off.
Someone behind him gave a sigh of relief.
"Kurama!"
"Shh! Thank you, Hiei. I'll remember that." Kurama went scuttling off, but
not before Koenma caught sight of his lover.
"KURAMA~!" Koenma sped across the room to enclose his lover in a
breath-stealing hug.
Hiei snorted in disgust.
The clock began to ring.
"Damned." someone muttered as the flames began to disappear.
One.
Relena snapped awake and cling onto Heero, grinning like an idiot. Heero
scowled at Duo, who had buried his face in his hands, his shoulders shaking.
Though whether he was laughing or crying, Heero had no idea.
Duo looked up at his lover, his shoulders shaking as he laughed
uncontrollably. He was laughing so much that he was crying. Heero gave him a
resounding whack on the back of his head to silence him.
"Ow! Why did you hit me?!"
Two.
Suou and Akira both prayed fervently that once the party was over, all the
screaming would end too. They did insured the whole campus, but restoration
would eat a chunk out of the campus funds too.
Three.
"Stay there you sickening and disgusting twerp-y little demonic deformed
rabbit!" Asuka screamed and was quickly joined by a few other 'tormented'
souls.
Four.
Wufei walked back into the Auditorium, his hair no longer red, but his eyes
were burning like lighted coals. "I shall have my revenge!"
Five.
Sorata chuckled as he returned to the Auditorium from depositing Seishirou
and Fuuma in a handy part of Clamp Campus. Arashi gave him a suspicious look
but he grinned it off, which made her all the more suspicious.
Six.
Hishou finally resigned to his fate, holding the unconscious Kazuya in his
arms and finally falling asleep himself. "Kazuya kissed me..." Hishou
mumbled in his sleep, a traumatised look on his face.
Seven.
"PUPUPUPUPUUUUUUUU!" Mokona cheerfully called out to Umi and Co. who were
running after it. The pursuers screamed in rage. Again.
Eight.
"MAMO-CHAN~!" Usagi wailed unhappily as Minako hit her over her head with a
platter. "Mina-chan is bullying me again! Now that Rei-chan is too busy
chasing rabbits, Mina-chan bullies me!"
Mamoru twitched.
Nine.
Yuusuke and Kuwabara burst into Christmas carols, the both of them singing
at the top of their voices and waving their cups of punch, spilling the
alcoholic drink about the place.
Hiei barely gave them a glance before he started stating in monotone that he
was not related or connected to either of them in any way.
Ten.
Luche smiled, then opened a portal, summoning his minions to appear and
feast. Sadly speaking, one of them accidentally tripped over his foot, and
it reached forward to grab the tablecloth of the banquet table.
CRASH!
Luche with spaghetti and mushrooms hanging off his hair glowered at his
minion, then teleported off before anyone noticed the disruption.
Eleven.
Miyu stared at her rapidly receding flames and gave a disappointed sigh.
"And I was still thinking of calling out Ranko and the rest of the Shinma
out to play..."
Larva started thanking whatever Gods above and below who stopped Miyu from
doing so.
Twelve.
Tsuzuku and Nokoru left the shadows, the latter blushing as he remembered
that he had left his hosting duties to Suou and Akira. The tinge of guilt in
him grew when he saw Akira and Suou standing in a corner of the hall with
haggard looks. Tsuzuku gave him a comforting squeeze as he walked up to the
middle of the Auditorium.
"Everybody! The Countdown is already over, therefore, it's year 2000!"
Nokoru declared happily. "Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!" everyone chorus.
"Heero! Happy New Year!" Relena stuck herself onto Heero.
"Hey! Get off him!" Duo shouted at Relena, prying her fingers off Heero
himself.
"But you said-"
"I said until the end of last year!"
"You-!"
Duo stuck his tongue out at Relena.
The chouma looked around at the people scattered around, mostly sleeping and
drinking, then frowned. So who were they supposed to attack? Luche-sama
never said exactly who or what they had to attack.
"Dang." one of them muttered to the other.
"Double dang." the other one muttered.
"Oh well." they chorused.
Aya finally stopped smiling. He sat in a corner of the hall and brooded,
thinking to himself. *Now I know how those salespeople feel after one day of
servicing customers... My cheeks hurt. Next time, they're going to pay me a
million dollars to simply _smile_.*
Youji and Omi gave a sigh of relief. Then Omi realised that Ken was missing.
"Tenshi..." Ken muttered as he gazed at Ginga. Although the flames were
gone, the creature before him still looked absolutely saintly.
Ginga sighed, then tried again to explain to the young man lying on his lap
that he was not an angel and definitely not a female.
Usagi finished the last piece of fried shrimp and burped. She then
apologised, embarrassed, and gave the destroyed food lying all over the
floor a rueful look, regretting that she had not taken more food before that
two youma appeared.
*Wait.*
*Two youma appeared?!*
"Moon Prism Power Make Up!" she shouted as she changed into Sailor Moon,
then crashed into the ground failing her arms about as she slipped on a
cheesecake.
All the other Sailor Senshi also changed, turning to the two extremely
confused chouma with determined looks on their faces.
"I, the Soldier of Light and Love, Sailor Moon, shall defeat the you two
party crashers and save everyone here!" Sailor Moon declared.
The other Sailor Senshi nodded in agreement.
The two chouma turned to each other.
"Er, are they the ones?"
"I thought they are supposed to be males."
"Yeah, and they are all supposed to be called 'Reideen' or something."
"So who are they?"
The two chouma shrugged and ignored the Sailor Senshi. "Who cares?"
All the Sailor Senshi facefaulted.
Hayate, Fujimaru, Ikazuchi, Shinobu changed into their Reideen forms,
approaching the two chouma and blasting them into non-existence within
minutes. But all four had also conveniently forgot that they had no extra
set of cloths on them either.
"IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!" Asuka screamed, pointing to the four Reideen who were
clad in nothing but their birthday suites. "Perverts! Perverts! What are
they doing here?! Exhibitionists!"
All the females present turned beet red when they saw the four Reideen.
"Shimatta!" all four cursed together and started running off.
Youji gave a low whistle as he did a thorough look-over on the four
Reideen's body frames. "Three out of four had figures better than girls...
except for the chest regions, of course."
Sorata rolled his eyes while Arashi whacked him over his head.
Clef closed his eyes, telling himself that all he had just witnessed was
just his overactive imagination, and there was something seriously wrong
with the fruit punch, which was true.
Hajime gagged on the spring roll he was biting, and Matsuri had to thump him
on his back to get it out of his windpipe. Owaru and Amaru were both still
staring at the four Reideen, their mouths agape.
The Sailor Senshi certainly got an eyeful from that spectacular sight.
Duo marvelled at the body build of one of the Reideen, muttering that he
definitely had a better figure than Heero, which of course, earned him The
Look. Relena even paused in her antics for a moment to stare at the figures,
swallowing hard.
Koenma threw up all over Hiei.
Miyu gave an appreciative murmur, which was echoed by Karen.
Suou and Akira sweat-dropped.
Satsuki took one good look at their bodies, then murmured something to Yuuto
that made him laugh out loud, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
Tsuzuku tried to stop himself from laughing, but still did it all the same,
earning particularly nasty looks from some people present.
Several figures blanched when thoughts which they shouldn't have flashed
through their minds the moment they saw the four Reideen in their birthday
suites. It seemed to help if the author mentioned here that all those
'several figures' were actually... males.
But that's not the end yet... in fact, the real fun was about to begin.
To be continued...
