OMG, It's really here, chapter two! I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Chapter 2: Game start.
Disclaimer: If me would say 'I own KG', I would be jealous, if I would say 'I own KG', I will be sued. If I said I don't own KG, nothing happens. Guess what has been said.
It had been only a week since white day, and still no plans were made. In other words, the progress to Pokopens invasion was: ZERO. Well, if you really want to be accurate, it'd be around 1 percent, seeing as they have befriended quite a sum of Pokopenians. But theoretically, progress stands on zero percent.
This, naturally, annoyed a certain Keronian to no end. It had been, what, five years. Almost. Exactly. FIVE. YEARS. And they still hadn't made any progress at all. Oh, how the red daruma would like to choke the green alien, the reason to it all. It was his entire fault, he and his lazy-GunPla loving-Manga reading-butt of absolute uselessness. . Most of the idiotic plans, which the sergeant made, were based on real life experience. If it was that simple, Pokopen would've been taken over many, many centuries ago. But no, he just continues to make up those ridiculously idiotic plans. He himself didn't even understand why he had immediately agreed to some of those ridiculous plans the sergeant made up.
Well, actually, he did. It was all because of one simple reason. The reason as to why he agreed to most of the plans. And also the reason he himself had stood in between the invasion. The reason is a feared one by many soldiers, as it makes them weak, vulnerable, confused, all those mixed up feelings actually. And that reason had a name, which consisted of one word: love. Although in the red aliens' way, two words: Hinata Natsumi. Yep, as many of you know, this alien fell for the enemy, literally and figurally (sp?), because the moment his feelings started to grow (I somehow do not fully believe Giroro Immediately fell in love with Natsumi, but that he had taken a great likening to the pink haired female, and that his feeling grew over time.), he was also being thrown of his feet by the bookcase of Hinata Natsumi.
How he had sank so deep, he would never know. As many females and elderly males say, love is a funny concept that likes to butt in in everything. He couldn't deny the fact that he liked to fall in love with her, but on the other side he kinda hated it. It was also because of it that the invasion wouldn't progress. In other words, he had become weak because of that feeling.
One thing about loving one person is that you easily recognize love rivals. It had happened when he met Saburo Mutsumi, but that was mostly because of the way Natsumi acted around him, the way she looked at him. The thoughts alone made his blood boil. But that one love rival didn't seem to be enough in this battlefield. No, because about two years later, when Dororo made his appearance, his second love rival also appeared. Azumaya Koyuki. She was an even worse enemy than Saburo. Why, you ask. Because she can easily get close to the dense and oblivious pink head. She was so clingy and also quite open about her feelings. He despised it, and got aflame whenever he saw those two together.
During those two meetings he had felt a certain feeling. He couldn't really explain what it was exactly, well, okay that's a lie, he could say that it was some kind of jealous hate, but that's it, and I wouldn't call that a great explanation. But here comes the weird part, ever since white day, and the mysterious chocolate Natsumi had gotten, he had gotten that feeling again. He still couldn't fully comprehend why in the world HE would give Natsumi any chocolate. He hated her, calling her a demon in disguise. He really didn't understand it. So he did the only thing he could think of, ask someone for explanation.
He didn't ask Tamama, as it would immediately enrage him, and those Tamama Impact really do hurt, and the same for Moa, and let's be honest, who wants a planet to be destroyed when you're still on that planet. As far as it concerns Giroro, no one really wants that, unless he/she had a very suicidal way of thinking. Kururu was a bad idea too, as he would like to have something in return for the information, and he couldn't even imagine what that something could be nevermind what it would be.
And thus Dororo was the person who had to explain to a very annoyed Giroro if it was possible that Keroro likes Natsumi. The fore-mentioned thing had not happened without the occasional out burst from the red daruma. At first Dororo had tried to calm Giroro down during those outbursts, but eventually he either waited till it was over, or used one of his water ninja-tricks (or should I say no jutsu? Hey, I've been watching Naruto lately, so don't blame me.), to calm him down.
Eventually Dororo had given a summarized and opinion based explanation, which is the following: "It is true that the two fight each other often, but do think of the fact that when necessarily the two can be great friends, so possibilities had been open since the beginning. And sometimes hate and love are being mistaken. In my opinion this turnaround was to be expected, and I believe we simply have to see what happens. It has already been four days ago, and Natsumi-dono still treats Keroro-kun the same, which could either mean that she is confused, that she tries to ignore it, or that it hadn't made her take a great likening to Keroro-kun. In other words, this battle has yet to be fought. But do keep in mind that the metaphor of two cats bickering over food and that the third one takes away the food is true to its words. Keep an eye on every love rival, not just one."
He was right, it wasn't just Keroro there was at least one who would try to be the third party, maybe even two.
But Giroro still didn't fully believe Keroro loved Natsumi, it could also been a way to weaken her mind, so the invasion could make some progress. And the reason no one else knows it was so they wouldn't stand in the way. He needed proof to know which reasoning was the right reasoning. And he was about to get it.
"Say Keroro, have you given up on the invasion or something?" Giroro asked while coming in Keroro's room. A small 'Giku' was heard while Keroro tried to keep the book in his hand hidden and to turn around.
"G-gero? What are you saying Giroro, I simply have no… uhmm… i-inspiration, yes inspiration. I simply have no inspiration at the moment. Why do you ask this?" Keroro said. 'Seems like Keroro still isn't good at lying.' Giroro thought, his anger growing without his notice, not that he would've understood why he was angry.
"Well it has been over two weeks since our last failed plan, which is pretty weird as it seems that our minimum of failed plans is once a week. What have you been doing the last two weeks, Keroro!" Giroro had used his old tactic. While speaking, he slowly made his way toward Keroro, who seemed to be walking backwards, during the first sentence. During the second sentence, he suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Keroro around his neck and lifting him up from the ground, chocking him slightly, and shaking him around angrily. This action ended up in Keroro losing the book he was desperately trying to hide.
They both saw this happen and it was as time had decided to go slower. Keroro had less than a second to try and get out of Giroro's vice grip before he was flung into the air by the fore-mentioned frog-alien. The red daruma soon sped after the thrown away book while Keroro harshly hit the wall. But the green alien was soon back in action, and had somehow been able to turn his body around, so his feet touched the wall. He then proceeded to launch himself to the fallen book. Giroro had seen this form the corner of his eyes, and decided that gravity shall tell this battle. He jumped towards the book.
Time went even slower. Many close ups of the two frogs hoping gravity was on their side were shown. One moment it was as if Keroro would get it, and then it seemed as if Giroro would get it. And then it was there, the one flaw that had decided this 'battle'. Keroro had miscalculated his launch, and ended up flying over the book, as realisation struck him, he let out a desperate 'Gero' and tried to grab the book, shaking him of his launching balance, and hitting the ground painfully, only to continue rolling to the closest wall. In the meantime, Giroro was able to fall on the book.
Keroro, now upside down with his back against the wall and his head on the ground, watched fearfully as Giroro stood up, with the book he so desperately tried to protect from being seen by him. Sweat had started to come down his face as he saw Giroro open the dreaded book. He started to fear that his live would soon end. The fear became greater and greater when he saw Giroro flip through the pages till he could not handle it any longer. His black pupils disappeared in fright, only to return after a few seconds by an 'Hmph' coming from Giroro. Keroro simply let out a confused 'gero' as the red daruma made his way to the green frog alien.
"You really think this will help you any further?" Giroro asked a vein pop appearing, Anger and irritation growing inside. It was obvious that this Keronian still has a lot to learn on that department.
"If you think you can win with this, you're dead wrong. I have been trying, for about five years now, to get her to really like me, you are not gonna get in my way!" He yelled, towering over the upside down alien.
"It is quite surprising that you still think you stand a chance, even Saburo-dono, who doesn't show too much affection to her, has more chance than you. She merely sees you as a friend, and someone who will come to rescue her, but also an enemy." The grebe alien said, suddenly serious. He stood back up, looking straight at the red alien.
"Wouldn't it be the same with you?" furious glare against calm angry glare, another match off had started. "The difference between you and me is that I have already told her my feelings, which you, after five long years, still haven't accomplished (1). The only problem is that Koyuki-dono has already taken that precious kiss from Natsumi-dono (2) so we cannot fight on that." Keroro remained uncharacteristically calm, making him look kinda cool, I guess.
Suddenly, an all too familiar voice appeared in the room: "Oi, stupid frog dinner is… Am I interrupting something?" Both aliens made a sound of surprise and turned around while saying 'no' in different kind of ways. "Oookay, well dinner is ready so you better hurry up." Natsumi said, leaving one alien with a smug face and an alien with a face of pain alone.
"Seems like telling her that you like her didn't help you much." Giroro said, his voice telling that he was smirking. Keroro growled in annoyance "It has, and you will soon see that. She will fall for me first." Giroro's smug face fell and anger replaced it again "We'll see about that, she'll fall for me first." The room seemed to disappear and only the two were standing shooting lightning at each other. Until Keroro hmphed and turned around, stomping away, as far as Keronians can stomp away.
Giroro was left alone growling loudly when his eyes suddenly catched the fallen book. He walked towards it and picked it up. "It may not have too much use for me, but as long as that fool doesn't have it, I don't mind." And with that, the red Keronian too left the room.
"Kukuku, this seems interesting. I shall enjoy this battle greatly, and maybe bring my own magical touch to it too." The lights of the monitors shone in the yellow Keronians glasses, giving him a kind of maniacal look. His laugh did not help denying the Keronian was slightly mad either.
And the battle between the two friends begins, who will win, one if them, or the third party, and what is Kururu planning. And will Natsumi find out all the ruckus in the house is caused by two men fighting over her.
You'll see when I want you to see it, MWUHAHAHAHA!
And that's it for chapter two of: 'Natsumi, my weirdest white day ever.' Maybe I should change the name. Well, it may not be uploaded on the same date as in the story, but who cares.
(1) Okay, I'll come clean; this was from the novel/manhua Half Prince, those who know of this conversation and know the ending of the series, I will warn you, this love story may end in the same way, but could also end in a different one.
(2) I'm not sure about the earlier volumes (or episodes in the anime), but in volume 20, Koyuki does kiss Natsumi to save her. (More spoilers are not given.)
Well, I hope you enjoyed it. I am quite proud of that one action scene; I believe it's my best one yet. And I believe that there are some great differences in writing style in chapter one and two, hehe.
Hope there wouldn't be a great delay between this chapter and the next one. Please review for ideas, and the next update will come faster.
