The Surreal Life Part 2
The Surreal Life
Author’s note: I'm continuing this story for bibbiesparks.
Animefreak20006: Shuichi, Yuki; don’t start with me!
Yuki: Don’t tell us what to do!
Shuichi: We can’t help the fact that you’re mad because you shot yourself.
Animefreak20006: That’s not why I’m mad.
Yuki: Shut the hell up then; you’ve got nothing to complain about!
Animefreak20006: You’re so lucky I don’t own you; damn…how did I get tricked into saying the disclaimer?
“Téa, this is Eiri Yuki; I was calling to inform you that I have finished my latest novel.”
“Oh really? What’s the title?”
“Blood and Ice.”
“Blood and Ice? Sounds rather grim.”
“It wouldn’t be anything different from the other books I’ve had published.”
“You’ve got a point but the title still suggests that it might be even more grotesque than anything you’ve ever written.”
“Stop your worrying; it’ll be fine.”
“Okay…whatever you say. Where do you want to meet?
“How about at the café in front of the Deust Motel (1) at 4:30pm?”
“That’s perfect; I don’t live very far from that place.”
“See ya then.”
“Wait are you sure—“
“Gotta go.”

“That bastard! I can’t believe he hung up on me!”
“Damn…she talks too much. I almost wish I had a muzzle for her.”
7 ½ hours later the members of Bad Luck went home to rest and get changed for their performance in 3 hours. Before they left, K gave them a friendly piece of advice.
“Meet back here in two hours for one last full rehearsal. Don’t be late or you’ll regret it. Do I make myself clear?”
“Crystal,” they replied before exiting the building.
“Hello Eiri.”
“Hi Téa.”
“Where’s the manuscript?”
“Right here (hands it to her); take a look and tell me what you think.”
“(Skims through the document) It’s…um…”
“Spit it out; I don’t have all day!”
“It’s a beautiful disaster to say the very least.”
“Meaning?”
“The story is completely bleak and it seems as though the darkness permeating this piece of literature can’t be stopped; but the romance in here is a miracle in itself. I don’t think this is going to sit well with your female readers.”
“Relax; I don’t believe that it will bother them that badly. They’re used to my style of writing so; a novel like this should be something they expect from me.”
“I agree but, I still can’t shake the bad vibes I have.”
“Don’t give me that bull-shit; just take it to Benoît (the publisher) already!”
“Okay, but don’t blame me when the unthinkable occurs.”
“It won’t; just do your DAMN JOB!”
“Fine but I warned you.”
“Again, where’s the muzzle when you need it?”
After that meeting, Eiri went home to set reservations at la Madeleine.
“Bonjour monsieur, comment-allez vous aujourd’hui?”(2)
“Je vais bien mais parlez en anglais si vous plaît.”(3)
“D’accord. (4) Your accent is horrible. How many are going to be in your party?”
“Just two.”
“Last name please.”
“Uesugi.”
“Two under Uesugi; is that correct?”
“Yes.”
“Okay; you’re all set up.”
“Thank you.”
“Shuichi, why didn’t you go home?”
“Yuki has been working very hard on his novel and I didn’t want to disturb him.”
“That’s never stopped you before; what’s the deal?”
“There’s no deal; I just wanted to give him a little piece and quiet.”
“Right…and the capital of Texas is Dallas.”(5)
“Fine; I’ll fill you in. Yuki told me if he finished his novel in time, he would come to the show tonight.”
“So you came here to ensure that happens.”
“Exactly.”
“What about your stage costume?”
“I planned ahead of time and took my clothes to the studio with me.”
“I didn’t see you carrying anything.”
“That’s because you guys were chastising (big word for Shuichi; must have learned it from Eiri) me for being late and asking why I was ill.”
“Oh…yeah…Sorry about that.”
“No need to apologize.”
“Well what do you want to do for the next two hours?”
“I brought the tape that Ryuichi gave me; it should kill the time.”
“Especially if you keep rewinding it.”
“Hey! I’ve done no such thing.”
“So says you.”
“Hmmm…This is weird; he normally comes home after practice. I know his rehearsal didn’t last this long. Oh well, I could use this serenity to rest for a bit.”
Eiri set his clock for 7:00pm so that he wouldn’t oversleep.
“Shuichi that’s the fifth time you’ve rewound the tape to listen to Sleepless Beauty. Will you just let the tape play?”
“It’s my favorite and besides, it shouldn’t bother you that much. Nittle Grasper is your favorite band too.
“That’s true but this is getting annoying.”
“What I do could be considered normal when you compare it to Tatsuha.”
“What’s he got to do with anything?”
“I came home one night and he was watching the video; he asked me how I got it and then he started spouting out weird things when we were watching the video.”
“(Raises eyebrow) Weird things?”
“He said that I look like and smell like Mr. Sakuma; he also thought that I might feel like him too.”
“Okay…”
“That’s only the beginning. He tried to rape me.”
“Rape you?”
“Are you an echo?”
“No, however, I do find it difficult to believe he would actually do something like that.”
“Believe it (that reminds me of Naruto).”
“He said it would be like virtual sex (read the manga).”
“And he wanted to jump your bones?”
“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing….How did you get out of that predicament?”
“I was pinned to the ground when I happened to look up he was closing in on my face; and closed my eyes---“
“Get to the point already!”
“I’m getting there; let me finish!’
“Whatever…”
“Now where was I? Oh yeah…I closed my eyes while trying to force him off of me; luckily for me, Yuki walked in; which caused Tatsuha to stop.”
“Did he beat up Tatsuha?”
“No; he just said, ‘Don’t mind me’ and Tatsuha released me.”
“I would say you’re being a drama king but, that wasn’t dramatic at all.”
“What did you say Hiro? You bastard!”
“You only say that because you know I’m right.”
“Whatever,” Shuichi replied bitterly.
“I know another way we could settle this.”
“What’s that?”
“We play this (shows Shuichi the game) and the winner gets to say whatever they want for the rest of today.”
“Alright; the loser has to go to rehearsal in a Sailor Costume from head to toe. That includes the bikini underwear.”
“That’s fine with me but, I’m not going to lose; this is Soul Caliber 3; I’ve played every last one and I am the champion.”
“This is one crown you’re going to lose.”
“We’ll see about that.”
“I pick Taki; I’m going to tear you limb from limb.”
“Yeah well, in that case, I choose Setsuka.”
“This will be a one-fall only battle.”
“Bring it on!”
A few moments later, Shuichi emerged victorious and began to gloat.
“Ha, ha, ha, you lost. Don’t forget about the terms of the bet.”
“Don’t remind me. How could I have been destroyed that easily by him? Damn now I have to wear a sailor costume to work. Wait a minute; I don’t have one so, I’ m off the hook.”
“You totally suck; a 3 year –old could beat you! “
“Okay, I get it.”
“Hey and look what time it is.”
“Shit; it’s time for us to go back.”
“Hiro you don’t have to worry about the Sailor Costume.”
“That’s a relief.”
“I have one with me; you can wear it.”
Anime sweat drop and fall over (Hiro)
“Get up Hiro; we can’t be late again; you heard K.”
“I think I’d rather be late.”
“I don’t want to be shot again (read the manga)
“Fine I suppose it would be best to get this humiliation over with as soon as possible.”
“That’s the spirit!”
“You’re just glad you don’t have to wear this.”
“True but a bet’s a bet and you lost fair and square.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever live this down.”
“Come on Hiro! If you’re not out in the next 15 minutes, I’m leaving without you.”
10 minutes later, they arrived at the studio
“Kami-sama! Shuichi what were you doing back there?”
“What are you talking about?”
“You were driving so fast that I thought you were trying to be a NASCAR racer.”
“Ever been shot in the face?”
“No.”
“Do you at least remember when he set a grenade off on my forehead?”
“Yeah…”
“Being shot is 10 thousand times worse than that and that’s why I was rushing.”
“Hey K, we’re back!”
“Nice to see you made it on time. Mr. Nakano, why are you hiding behind Shuichi?”
“He lost a bet and now he’s scared to show his face.”
“What were the stipulations?”
“The loser had to wear a sailor costume to work.”
“Ha, ha, ha, excuse me while I go get my camera.”
“No! Don’t!”
“Amp down. I wouldn’t do something that cold-hearted.”
“I’m not so sure about that.”
“Fujisaki, you gotta see this.”
“See what?”
“Just come and look.”
“Oh my God. Hiro what the hell are you wearing? I would expect something like this from Shuichi but, not you.”
“Alright, alright enough fooling around; it’s time to go to work.”

2-Hello sir; how are you doing today?
3-I'm doing fine but, please speak in English.
4-Agreed
5-Please don't say "Yee-haw." That is the most irritating thing I hear when I tell people I'm a Texan.
Animefreak20006: Leave reviews and helpful criticisms. Flames will be used to barbeque chicken. I’m not feeling well right now and so I probably will not update for two weeks, so please don’t be mad at me.
