Chapter 22: Surprises and An Unsatisfactory Ending… Or Is It?
Author's POV
Soon, Vanilla was escorting Honey into a simply two story house, smiling happily at the surprised blonde.
"It's not what you expected, is it?" Vanilla questioned rhetorically, but got a shake of the head anyway. Vanilla smiled, albeit a little embarrassed, and unlocked the door. "Well, I'll explain, come, come." He said, pulling Honey into the house and closing the door behind him. Once they toed off their shoes, Vanilla skipped onto the higher level and called, "I'm home!" which earned a few clangs from the distance which had Vanilla and Honey wincing.
"Aniki! Welcome home!" Hewa exclaimed as she was suddenly there, huggling Vanilla and making him smile. That is, until someone kicked Hewa away, which made him sweatdrop.
"Hands off Baka no Peace Maker!" the girl spat, before smiling at Vanilla. "Welcome home Onii-chan!"
Honey's eyes widened when he realized who the girl was, his blood chilling at the remembrance.
"V-vanilla-kun! Watch out! It's-" he was cut off when Vanilla took his hand reassuringly.
"It's okay. I fixed her. Like I said I would."
"F-fixed?" Honey stuttered, staring at Kangofu and gulping nervously. He watched as she bowed low in front of him, before she stood once more, guilt in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Haninozuka-san. I wasn't in my right mind when that happened and-"
"It's what comes with having nurse powers. They're all not in their right minds." Hewa put in, recovering and smiling, before Kangofu pushed her away, glaring.
"Shut up! Anyway, like I was saying, I didn't mean it. I was kind of brainwashed by Otousan…" she muttered, rubbing her arm. Honey's brow furrowed.
"Your…" he trailed off when Vanilla squeezed his hand and whispered,
"I'll explain later." He then smiled brightly at his sisters. "But first, Hewa, can we have some cake please?" he questioned, making Honey's eyes widen hopefully.
Hewa smiled, standing and rubbing her head, where a lump was forming.
"Hai, hai. I made your favorite, Aniki." She said lightly as she turned and skipped merrily into the kitchen. Kangofu huffed and rolled her eyes as she walked off.
"She's so WEIRD…" she muttered to herself. Honey mentally pondered that statement as he let Vanilla lead him to the kitchen. Hewa was weird? He just thought she was… spacey.
When they reached the kitchen, Honey took notice that it was much like a commoner's kitchen, in fact it was traditional. Nothing fancy. Tatami mats lined the floor, a short table in the middle of the room, three pillows surrounding it. Very traditional. Of course, he instantly forgot about arrangements when he noticed the raspberry cake with white frosting that Vanilla's sister was currently cutting.
"Keki!" he exclaimed, quickly seating himself down on one of the pillows. He blushed when Vanilla giggled, having not exclaimed himself.
"Help yourself!" Hewa said happily as she set two large pieces of cake in front of them, before she hummed towards the sink to go about cleaning dishes. Honey marveled the cake, which seemed to sparkle enchantingly, before he reached out a finger and experimentally swiped some of the frosting. He licked the white substance from his finger and practically purred in happiness. Never had he partaken of such a magesty of baking.
"Ichi ban oiishi de su…" he murmured, wanting to desperately squeal. Hewa turned to look at him, her cheeks colored slightly and a hand on her cheek.
"Ara, ara. Arigato, sempai! I feel so embarrassed! First time having one of Aniki's friends over and they say my cake is the best!" she giggled, watching as Honey began to scarf the cake down.
"It really is!" Honey said, his mouth full of cake, so it came out as 'if weally ish!'. Hewa giggled, but stopped when she noticed Vanilla puffing out his cheeks and staring down at his cake in a pout.
"A-ara! I almost forgot! I need to do something! That's… not in here! Ja ne!" she said, fluttering out of the kitchen and leaving the water running in the sink in her rush. Suddenly, she was back and turning off the water, her finger poised. "Remember kids, don't waste water! We could lose it all someday! It's a fact!" before she sped off. Honey blinked.
"…Who was she talking to?" he questioned, looking to Vanilla, who-to his surprise-hadn't touched the angelic cake. Vanilla shrugged.
"She always does that every once in a while… I think it's a side affect from her powers. She acts like an 'awareness' commercial sometimes."
"…Oh." Silence. "Vanilla-kun? Daijoubu?" Honey questioned quietly, scooting his pillow closer to the other. Vanilla was silent for another moment, before he looked to Honey, and it was evident he wanted to sigh."
"Honey-kun… I need to tell you something… About… my family." He said, his eyes showing his unsureness clearly. Honey furrowed his brow, but nodded and shifted on the pillow under him.
"You can tell me Vanilla-kun." He said softly.
"You have to keep it a secret!" Vanilla rushed out, making Honey jump slightly.
"O-okay." He agreed.
"You can only talk about it with me and my family, unless someone else finds out."
"Hai."
"Do you promise?"
"Hai."
Vanilla stared him in the eyes for a moment, his own lilac ones piercing, before he looked away back to his cake, and finally let out the sigh that had built up in his chest.
"Okay… My family…" he began, his fork lightly poking at the cake. "My family, in the Fuedal Era was at war…" he said, his fork puncturing the cake deeply, a resonant clang came from the plate as the fork hit it through the cake. Honey winced at the noise. "A family at war and in peril…
A family that was on the brink of losing, many of their allies gone to the other side so that their families would survive. Blood was shed everyday, swords clanged, arrows pierced, screams tore. Every night, the leader would come home tired and weak, and had to catalog how many of his men had died or gone over to the other side. One night, he came home to find that his wife had given birth. He was so happy that he wept. But that happiness would not last forever. Soon, the baby was stolen. The man was outraged and sent his men out to find the babe- or the ko-usagi. They searched and searched, tried sneaking into enemy territory, but they couldn't find the babe. It was then that the wife revealed that she had had another baby. This one was frailer, smaller, and hardly made a sound. This distressed the man, and, afraid that the babe would be stolen, and killed since it looked so weak, he began to… experiment on it, making serums and potions to fix and to make… the baby better. More powerful, so that it would grow strong. He trained the babe as it grew, thinking that the other side didn't have a chance. Unfortunately, the one he had trained, cared for, turned on him, and joined the enemy side. Stricken with grief, the man tried desperately, whenever he saw his son, to convince him to come back, but he was always given a blank look. As the battle raged on, the son climbed up through the ranks, and soon became the leader of the enemy side, a boy of only ten, leading an army of destruction. It became apparent that he could not be destroyed with the weapons they had created, and that left only one solution. The man made an energy ball, one to match the boy's periwinkle blue eyes, and it crackled and hissed regularly. Spreading a rumor, he said that it was a large power source that would give the holder ultimate power, feeling guilty that he was leading his son to his doom. As expected, not long after the rumor the boy approached what was once his home, easily passing by people by letting off sleeping gas, wearing a mask so that it wouldn't affect him. Once he reached the ball, he came to see the man. He tried once more to convince him to come back to their side, but the son simply scoffed and snatched the ball, only to shriek as he was sucked into the glowing ball of energy. Soon, the man's side won, but it was bittersweet, having lost his son. One hundred years later, another man, in the same family, began to build… usagi droids, ones that had certain personalities, ones that would help the earth, or that would simply amuse people,to make the world better. At this time, a girl in the family came upon a dull orb in the back of the forest behind their home. Upon touching it, she gained powers- fearful ones, but ones that helped her to become marvelously powerful. Unfortunately, she also released the son that had been imprisioned there, and was killed when he confronted her, ten years later, and one of the droids trapped him in the ball of energy, soon after all of them were put to sleep. Another one hundred years passed, and the same thing happened. And another. And another. The same. It soon became a tradition, a prophecy, that every one-hundred years that the usagi droids would be reactivated every hundred, and the child that was born into the family would be chosen to try and defeat the son. But, on the hundredth year, the man that was supposed to activate the droids, pried them open and put in a small about of black energy into them, making them evil. The child, this time a boy, did touch the energy, but he was confronted early, only for a second before the power filled him, but it was long enough to get a smirk, from the entrapped son before he was gone, the boy exaughsted on the ground. As he grew, he noticed that the droids didn't act as his grandfather had told him he had been told about. They acted cruel to anyone but him, and sometimes cruel to him as well. Hardly ever, but they did. Only one was always kind, and soon, she revealed what happened after a night when the boy had been ambushed by the droids for disobeying his father as she rushed him to a house. She told him why they acted this way, and that it was his job to collect the rest and make sure they were changed into what they used to be. So he now had to collect all the usagi droids and defeat the son sealed into the ball of energy…
Vanilla looked up to the wide eyed Honey, the other catching his breath at the intensity, the pain, and anger in the other's eyes.
"Honey-kun… Mitsukuni. Your family… Your family was the one that was lead by the sealed son. And I… I'm the destined boy to defeat him."

Wow… Cliffy ne? Well! That's the end! Yep! But, if I get A LOT of reviews, I'll make a sequel!
