"Well, I'm a bit out of practice, you know. But here goes:
Oh how I love to watch the morn,
The golden sun that shines,
Up above to nicely warm
These frosty toes of mine.
The wind doth taste of bittersweet,
Like jasper wine, and sugar,
I bet it's blown through others' feet,
Like those of... eh?"
*** Cute... what would Opus say, Grayson-chan?
And the hair! These people had the cleanest, most luxurious hair
Ukyou had ever seen. Beautiful hair was some sort of tribal
fixation amongst the Chinese Amazons, it seemed.
Explains their fixation with toiletries...
Kunou cast his gaze upon the waters, and was met with a vision of
stunning improbability. Though the autumn skies of Nerima sported
a bracing wind, the chill was nowhere near strong enough to freeze
water - and yet, the waters of the pool had frozen into a smooth,
thick sheen of glistening ice! So bewildered was Kunou by this
enigma that he at first did not notice the single blemish upon the
pristine, icy surface, until he heard a wavery voice drifting
through the chilly air.
"T...tt...Tacchi! B... bb... be a go...gg... good keiki and g...
g... get your fad...fadda outta here!"
There could be no mistaking it - his father's head protruded from
square in the center of the frigid, blue-white blanket. From the
shoulders down, the headmaster of Furinkan High School was embedded
in the ice.
So... you've had Kuno-kouchou cast into the ninth circle of hell, have you?
My congratulations... and thanks.
Kunou opened his eyes and raised his sword to punctuate his
impending proclamation. "Go forth!" he commanded. "And summon
here the esteemed members of the Furinkan High Ice Hockey Club!"
"Sir?"
"T...Tacchi!"
He gazed upon the swim captain. "Ruined though thy practice may
be, should not this unexpected windfall of ice be put to proper
use? Go forth, I say, and do as I bid!"
The swimmers grinned hugely, and the captain even saluted. "Yes
SIR!"
Brilliant. And you even let Kuno get some of the respect he thinks
he deserves.
Thrilled to see a new chapter. Thanks much for the chance to kick
the stuffings outta those two little Amazon twerps, too...
Itsu mo,
Ucchan ^_^
