A/N: Hello fellow authors/readers! Lupin has been revived but is in danger of dieing from the terrible heat that Texas must have during the highly anticipated summer! Yes, faithful fanfic-ers, Lupin hopes you feel her pain as she sits in her house with the air-conditioning on, not even putting one toe outdoors. She has also discovered that, after speaking with her mother, that talking in third person is a sign of an unstable mental state. Poor, poor Lupin...
(Maddie- Well, Lupin was shifting through some stories when she came across one for Kyo Kara Maou! (God Save Our King!) and got hooked on the series ever since then. She didn't even mind the shounen-ai that existed in the plot. Then the idea for a female protagonist came along, curtsy of yours truly, and voila!)
Disclaimer:I don't own Kyo Kara Maou, no matter how much I want my own Demon King. *Sigh*
Episode 1 Part 1- Flushed To Another World
It was a hot day, the sun beating down on every person its scorching rays could reach, even affecting those in cars whose metal frame could only prevent a meager bit of protection. Inside one of those yellow taxis was a woman wearing a pink summer dress, her stomach bulging with the signs of pregnancy, the expecting mother holding her belly protectively. She sighed as she stared at the slowly moving scenery.
"I wish I wasn't pregnant in the summer," Her gentle voice was wistful, "I'm all hot and sweaty, and I can't eat cold things. Even my make-up is melting," She turned to face the passenger next to her, brown eyes almost apologetic, "Not to mention I'm clumsy and all worn out."
"I didn't notice. You are still beautiful," The man spoke, his words caused the pregnant woman to blush and avert her eyes downward, "So beautiful you could stop this car." He reached over and grasped her hand gently in a reassuring fashion, "A child born in July is supposed to be strong for surviving the harsh months. Where I come from, July is 'Yuuri'."
"July is...Yuuri."
A girl stood by her bike, eyes transfixed on the game of baseball that was currently underway. She was wearing a traditional Japanese sailor uniform, the black skirt reaching just above her knees and white top covered by a black sweater with the school logo embroidered on it. Her black hair was shoulder length, and her matching black eyes were slightly glazed over.
She was practically mesmerized by the encouraging cheering and 'clink' when a bat connected to the ball, eyes tracking the movements of the players from behind the fence. Her gaze could almost be classified as longing as she saw the smiles on all of the student's faces.
"Yo, Shibuya! What are you doing?" A friendly voice called out. The girl, Shibuya Yuuri, turned her attention from the game to a fellow male student who was looking at her with a knowing grin on his face.
"Eh? Oh, nothing." She said, her eyes betraying her words.
"Are you thinking about joining the baseball club?" Yuuri said nothing, turning back to the baseball game. "Give it up! I hear practice is intense and you don't get much free time. You finally passed the entrance exam to get into High School, why don't you try and enjoy it?"
"But...it was fun..." Yuuri murmured, mostly to herself than to the other student.
"Huh?"
"Nothing," She swung her leg over the other side of the bike and continued on her way, "I was just watching." Only watching... It was only until she was out of earshot that she sighed and mentally kicked herself for lingering around. "I can't go on regretting things like that. He's right, I should take advantage of my free time and go all out..." She told herself firmly and nodded.
"You don't to play with us?" Yuuri glanced up and slowed her bike, gasping softly at the sight before her. There were three senior students surrounding a much smaller student whose face looked extremely familiar to Yuuri. His black, almost blue, hair was slightly spiky and stuck out on the sides, his brownish black eyes hidden behind a pair of overly large glasses.
For some odd reason he looked quite calm for being outnumbered in strength and number. "Mr. Straight A student has to study?" The taunting words reminded Yuuri that she could ponder over who it was later, getting out of the danger zone was more important.
"As expected from a new student." One of the other bullies spoke up as he leaned into the boy, who didn't even flinch, and examined him. Wait a second, Yuuri thought, isn't that Murata Ken? Now she understood why his face seemed so familiar, she had seen him in a few of her classes but had never really talked to him.
"I don't plan on hanging around with you guys," Murata boldly retorted, "Anyways, I have no money." Now that she thought about it, Yuuri recognized the three bullies as well, having seen them terrorize other students before. Whatever. If I just pretend I'm passing by, they won't even notice me. It's not like we're friends. Murata had glanced to the side and noticed her, though, his eyes looking into Yuuri's and seemingly causing Yuuri to pause. He certainly didn't look it, but his eyes were filled with anticipation and a sliver of fear skirted across his face before turning nuetral once more.
Yuuri couldn't help it, guilt washed over her like a storm as she angrily kicked herself again. Not knowing someone isn't an excuse for ignoring them! She sighed, gathering her courage.
"What are you guys doing over there?" She called out, hoping her voice didn't sound as scared as she felt. The three boys turned to face the nervous girl who was starting to regret her choice, as the look the teens were giving her were rather intimidating. She dismounted her bike and kicked out the stand, placing it off to the side. "I don't suppose you're doing community service." Murata stared at Yuuri in shock, eyes widening a fraction.
"Shibuya..." He called softly.
"Well, if it isn't Shibuya." One of the boys said, stepping forward and looking as intimidating as possible. "What, are you his girlfriend or something?" Yuuri blushed a light pink at the acussion but her voice never wavered.
"No."
"Who cares. Why don't you play with us too, girly?"
"Eh?"
"Are you scared? Four-eyes too.." The words died on his lips as he turned around, only to find that 'four-eyes' was no longer behind them, but instead was several feet away, running so fast that dust was rising from the ground. You've got to be kidding me... That was the least of Yuuri's worries, though, as the bullies had turned their attention from the vacant spot to the shocked girl.
"Thanks to you, our prey got away! What are you going to do about it?" One of the boys snarled. The gang approached, menacing scowls on their faces, forcing Yuuri to take a step backwards. "Well?"
She was shoved against the building behind her, the tallest boy holding her by the front of her shirt and pressing her into the rough wall. When she said nothing, he gripped her shirt more firmly and leaned in so close Yuuri could smell what her had eaten that morning. The poor girl was tempted to say some cliche line like 'Ever heard of breath-mints?' but knew it would most likely get her in more trouble.
"Why don't you say anything, Shibuya Yuuri?" He asked, a mocking tone in his voice. He paused for a second and his grip slackened, still not enough for the smaller teen to get away. Yuuri sighed and closed her eyes. She didn't like the way he was looking at her.
"Let me go," She told them calmly. The boy just frowned and grabbed her chin and tilted it from side to side as if he were searching for something. He leaned his face in closer, his hot breath tickling her cheek. Yuuri twitched. If her hand had been free, she would have slapped the boy. Then again, that was if her hands were free and if she had the courage to fight back. Ahh, wishful thinking. If only it were more realistic.
Suddenly the one holding her grinned as he loomed in, face growing uncomfortably close. Yuuri panicked and turned her head to the side in an attempt to avoid the incoming kiss, the boy's grip slackening even more as he concentrated on meeting her lips. No way! I won't lose my first kiss to a rude jerk like this! (Unintentional rhyme :P) By the time his nose was close enough to graze her face, she realized how lose his grip had become, and promptly made use of it.
Yuuriducked under the boy, wincing as she felt the craggy wall roughly scratch at her back, and dived out of the way. And ran right into the waiting arms of another bully. Oh joy.Yuuri was once more captured, her arms pinned to her side in a pair of strong hands. The one who had been attempting to kiss her scowled and stalked over, glancing at the one who held her captive in silent order.
Yuuri felt more than saw the boy nod and pulled her arms roughly behind her back, heading towards the girl's bathroom.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let me go!" He ignored her and had one of his fellow goons open one of the stall doors. They shoved her in the enclosed space, gripping her hair and arms in a tight hold, grinning from ear to ear. "Wait, you guys aren't thinking of...?!" Yuuri's voice trailed off as she let a look of fear cross her features. The bullies only chuckled.
She was pushed forward until her face was directly above the water in the toilet, the putrid smell invading her senses as she did her best to get out of the death grip that she was suddenly in. One of the boys flushed the toilet, the one holding her jerkily dunked her head in the disgusting water, Yuuri thankfully closing her eyes before she went under. But when she deemed it safe enough to open them, she couldn't believe what she saw. It seemed that there was a giant black hole in the toilet!
Yuuri blinked several times in succession, water flowing past her head into the large black ball. You've got to be kidding me! Why is there a black hole in the toilet? It was only then that she realized that her whole body was underwater, that same water unnaturally clear. Could it be? She thought in horror, am I going to be the first person in history to get flushed down a toilet?! Everything blacked out, engulfing Yuuri into relaxing unconsciousness.
A/N: Well? Well? Well?! I'm just doing this to hopefully get me out of my writer's block. I will get around to updating my other stories though. Just stay faithful. So, should I continue? Should I scrap it? Should I edit it? How many episodes should I go? Please tell me! Reviews are appreciated! R & R!
Edit: I changed the chapter a little due to a review saying that the bullies would have different behavior towards her. I agree that the actions towards Yuuri were a bit awkward so I decided to change it. :) Thank you, Kindkaizer, for telling me your opinion. No I won't take it as a flame! Of course not! What you gave me, my friend, was positive criticism! And I thank you for looking over my chapter and speaking your mind. It makes me feel better that I can change the chapter to improve it for the better based on the opinion of the reader! Thanks again to Kindkaizer (sorry if I spelt your pen-namewrong) XD I think Wolf would have to wear something if he was going to sleep with a girl, but perhaps his sleepwear won't be as....dramatic. . I'm glad you find the story great, and will try to twist the plot A.S.A.P.! ^o^
