EXTENDED PLAY

**track five**

To no-one's surprise, I have drawn the role of Clarisse, your 
traditional damsel-in-distress.  It was such a foregone conclusion 
that I'd land the role that the guys working on costuming had 
already taken my measurements a week ago, and today have presented

*Hmmm... Since this is a present-tense story, I'd recommend "... 
costuming took my measurements a week ago,".*
 

me with her dress, a beautiful white gown.  It's a gorgeous thing, 
not quite bridal, but certainly fancy-dress ball calibre.

An idea pops into my head, and I ask if I may take it back to the 
dorm to try it on.  It's agreed, with the stipulation that I wear it 
to the first rehearsals starting on Monday.  Fine.

*Cue _JAWS_ shark music.*

As I put the slip on, a shadow falls across the frosted window of 
the dorm room.  Here comes the true test... I take a deep breath 
as the knob turns.

*Jsm uptempo.*

He chuckles weakly.  "Ironic, huh?  What they don't know... well, 
it really looks good on you, Shun... chan."

*Music reaches climax.*

He called me 'Shun-chan!'  He likes me!  He really likes me!  I beam 
at him.  "You're so sweet, Suka-chan."

The second rinse hits me with a flash of insight... could *I* be 
part of the problem?  I shake my head vigourously, and water 
sprays from my hair.  I do NOT want to believe that.  I crawl over 

*Hmmm... practicing denial while seemingly aware that it's more a matter 
of what he wants to believe than what he does....  Intriguing.*

to the tub, and slip into the warm and comforting waters.  All such 
distressing thoughts are put aside, and my mind slowly unwinds 
and goes blank.  As it does, it leaves me with the humorous reminder 
that I had considered taking my baths after curfew.  Kami... I just 
*know* I'd've fallen asleep in here.

"And I'M telling YOU that *she* isn't!"  Takeshi!  Why, that dirty...!

*Heh.  'Bout time this started.*

"Will you CUT THAT OUT, you stupid little...!"  Takeshi is reaching 
for my towel, and I'm backing away from him as fast as possible, still 
holding my hand over my chest.  He doesn't get the chance to finish 
*his* thought either.  Between the wet floor and Suka-chan's punch, 
Takeshi doesn't stand a chance.  He hits the floor hard, and is out 
like a light.

*Oh... my.*

"Yeah, whatever.  You get back to your bath, okay?"  He almost 
grins.  "After all that running around, you might need another one. 
Lunch was good, too."  As he drags the unconscious Takeshi out 
of the furo, through the dressing room, and into the hallway, I let 
the towel drop, and I stare at my male form guiltily.

*One wonders what he'd do if offered access to the Nannichuan....*

Well...

I seem to be staying within the bounds of real time.  I'll probably 

fall 

behind with track six,as it starts more or less immediately after this
incident (What, you don't think Suka-chan and Takeshi won't have 
to *answer* for fighting in the dorm?)  The incidents, on the other
hand, will start developing gaps, too, so I may actually stay even...
time will tell.

Hope y'all are enjoying this, and I really appreciate all the comments.

Hell, Yes!  I'd say I'm looking forward to the mext part, but since 
that's included in this post, that'd be kind of silly.

Till next time, ja!

**track six**

It's a strange thing to be stuck in the middle of the maelstrom. 
I'm in the sempais' room with Takeshi and Suka-chan, who are each 
having the riot act read to them for the fight in the furo. 
Technically, this would be a school disciplinary matter, but as 
Greenwood's an independant facility, we have the option to settle 

*Typo:  "independent".*

things before it goes to the principal.  Considering the situation 
that precipitated it, is it any wonder that the sempais want to take 
care of it themselves?  Can you imagine them having to explain 
this whole bet thing to the administration?

*"Well, you see, Honored Principal, there was this devious cat-creature 
named Toltiir...".  Sorry.  I couldn't help myself.*

Meanwhile, Shinobu-sempai's voice is low and cold as he lectures 
Takeshi.  "You spread the word, Masuyama... anyone else tries a 
stunt like this, tampering with the bet, and he forfeits any 
winnings he might have coming to him otherwise.  The money'll 
go to the dorm kitty, and it'll be split with everyone else.  Do 
I make myself clear?"

*Whooo...  That'll take the winds out of a lot of folks' sails.  Of 
course, that means that some folks'll just become more devious....*

"Suka-chan, thank you!  That was so brave and gallant of you to 
stand up for me back there in the bathroom!  You were willing to 
get into trouble for my sake... thank you, thank you, thank you..."
I drop to my knees in front of him, and nestle my head in his lap.
I'm really taking my chances here, but he really needs some cheering 
up or moral support or SOMEthing right now.  He looks *awful*.
"What could I ever do to repay you?"

*Ahem.  First seventeen answers deleted because I have not yet started 
writing Lemons.*

Well,  good for him, and I say so.  "That's terrific.  Who is it, 
anyway?  Who's the lucky girl?"

"Well... you remember asking if there was anything you could do to 
repay me for helping you in the bath?"  His eyes are wild and sharp; 
I'm getting a wee bit nervous just looking into them.

I nod, tentatively.  "Yes... what about it, Suka-chan?"

He grasps my hands eagerly.  "Shun-chan... will you be my princess?"

I swallow hard.  Uh... could we bring the curtain down, already?

*BWAHAHAHAAAA!!!  Perfect!  Beautiful!  I love it!  Turning the original 
anime on its head....  Inspired, dear lady, inspired!*

::holds up hands in self-defense::

I know, I know... Doctor Hasukawa should be 'Hasukawa-sensei,'
as I've been using Japanese honorifics throughout.  But I figured 
I should differentiate between a medical doctor (such as Dr. Hasukawa)
and the teachers at Ryokuto (who would also use '-sensei' after 
their last names)  Hope no one minds.

Sorry to gloss over that situation, too, between Kazuya and his 
brother.  The information in the OVA is a little sketchy, and all I 
really wanted to do was explain his ulcer.

Anyway, it's obviously starting to get a little sticky in here... 
hope y'all still find it interesting.  Until next time, ja!

*Wahoo!  Very entertaining.  I await the next installment anxiously.*
