A little humorous thing this time. Also a request from Fear the Fuzzy Bear, a Danny Phantom and Nurarihyon no Mago crossover. I saw Rikuo Nura's Yōkai form's hair and the first thought in my head was "How is he not top heavy? And how does he walk straight?"
So, you get a Danny who just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Or when to not smack someone's hair.
I don't own Danny Phantom or Nurarihyon no Mago.
Okay, so maybe Danny shouldn't have flown into that portal. And maybe he should've flown right back through when he had the chance. And maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't have smacked that guys hair and called him foxy.
But it's not Danny's fault! He swears!
He was fighting against Nocturne when, of course, Vlad had to show up. And then, because it couldn't get any worse, they both decided to team up and beat Danny into next week. He held his own longer than the times before, but he slipped up and started to get knocked back and forth between the two of them for over three hours. He thinks it was three hours, it could've been two. He lost track of time after the fourth broken rib.
The two of them had finally dropped him to the ground and started to plan what to do with him.
Apparently Vlad wanted to take him back to his lab to do who knows what (probably try to make another clone, the frootloop.) and Nocturne wanted to feed off his dreams and keep him under for a few years.
Or something like that, either way Danny didn't want to do any of those things.
Nocturne had shrunk down to better argue with Vlad and now was small enough for Danny's plan to work.
The plan that was born from blood-loss and desperation.
The completely insane plan that, if it did work, Danny would laugh about for weeks.
Pushing as much energy into his legs he had left, Danny launched to his feet, wrapped his arms around Vlad's and Nocturne's waists and dragged the both of them into the air. Spinning into a sharp dive through the ground, twisting to where he could feel the portal's energy hum and speeding there as fast as he could go, Danny dove into the portal that his father had just opened.
What timing.
Danny spun and threw the two as far away as he could.
The shrieks of rage where amusing as they faded away. Danny almost wished he had a recording of it. Danny floated in place for a second before he grinned and fist pumped and cheered. How that worked he had no idea, but he wasn't going to ask.
Feeling dizzy, yet good about his win, Danny turned around to head back through the portal.
... And went straight through a natural one instead.
I... what?
There were a bunch of people standing in the middle of a street and were staring at him.
Oh, this is not going to be fun.
At all.
A man - or was it a boy? Danny's sight was kinda going fuzzy right then - stepped forwards and started talking. Danny didn't focus on what he was saying as he didn't understand a word, and instead focused on his hair.
And what hair it was.
The top part was white, the same shade of white as Danny's, and the bottom was black as night, also like Danny's human form's hair. But that wasn't caught his attention, no. The guy's hair is long and protrudes out the back of his head. Like, it was curved looking and was gravity defying.
Hair is not suppose to be like that.
Maybe there were wires holding it up? Or maybe a lot of hair gel and spray? Was it a wig? Why was it doing that? How was it doing that? Danny wondered why he was thinking about this guy's hair of all things when a sound he knew well echoed.
The guy with the insane hair had pulled out a sword and was pointing it at him. Apparently Danny had taken too long to answer. He blurted out the first that came to his mind, "You have a wicked looking sword dude."
Ah, first impression, you don't help at all do you?
The guy frowned and muttered something under his breath before straightening up. Danny wiped his hand on the cleanest spot on his suit, eyeing the Hair-Guy's head thoughtfully.
The Hair-Guy opened his mouth to speak... and promptly snapped it closed again in shock.
Danny had reached out and smacked his hair.
It bobbed down and then bounced back into place, Danny blinked. And then did it again.
And again.
And again.
Slowly a smile crawled onto his face and he wheezed out a slight laugh. He could only use one hand as his elbow on his other arm was shattered and he was in a lot of pain, but this guy's hair was bouncy.
Bouncy hair made everything better it seems.
There were more than a few sounds of shock coming from the people behind them, but Danny was more focused on the bouncy hair then. Of course that had to be the moment that his flight gave out and he dropped like a sack of rocks.
Danny grunted in pain and rolled onto his back, he absently noticed that it night and the stars were out.
The Hair-Guy barked out a few words and bent over to look Danny in the eyes. Once again reaching out, Danny swiped at his hair. He didn't even get close, his arm falling back onto his chest before he could reach it.
Oh, look at that. The Hair-Guy's eyes were red and shaped almost like that one fox ghost Danny fought a week ago. He could feel himself being picked up and realized that it was the Hair-Guy.
He had to get his name soon, calling him the Hair-Guy was getting tiring.
And, because this was Danny, he opened his mouth, "Hey there foxy dude. Mind not letting anyone cut me open? Cause that would be - be awesome if you did that. Not let any one cut me open I mean. Or - or let me get experimented on? Cause your hair is bouncy and I would hate to be hurt by a bouncy haired guy. That - that would suck."
Oh, god, Danny just called that dude foxy.
Danny then decided that passing out was a wonderful idea, the last thing he saw was the transformation rings and the look of surprise on the guy's face.
Okay, I need to work on my humor.
And for anyone who gets to wondering, the way I saw this ending was that Rikuo, The Hair-Guy, brought Danny back to his home. They become kinda friends kinda temporary allies and Danny learns about Yōkais and Rikuo learns about ghosts. Danny, of course, goes home soon after. And he has one hell of a tale to tell his friends.
It's written kinda strange because Danny has extreme blood-loss right now. His thought process is screwed up and he doesn't notice many details.
