PoT: Standalone: Challenge - Chapter Six

Fic post from my archive.

Niou has an idea for a trick. Drama with Peculiar Romance, I-3

Yagyuu moved forward, fingers trailing ever so lightly over Masaharu's wrist in passing. Masaharu suppressed his reaction, sternly, but couldn't hold back a grin. Who would have thought that Yagyuu would be an incorrigible tease?

{laughing like a...jackal? and jumping around the apartment in delight, unmindful of the occassional coughing fits} Oh! {breathless, HUGE grin} this was great! absolutely &superb&! I loved it! loved it! LOVED it! Hee hee hee! {claps happily} oh, oh, let's see!

back to the top! Sanada and Atboe--now, suddenly I get a glimmering of why there seems to be a fare share of Sana-Atobe fic stories out there. Makes sense. {nodsnods} Still... Tis something those boys would do. Chase each other in a 'civilized' rivallry dance.... Ah, but Yukimura knows how to handle his second, doesn't he?

{grins} and then, revelations... and suddenly the Trickster realizes he's fallen into one of his own tricks. Ah, but Yukimura is so awesome how he gently breaks the news, ne? Ah, but you also gave us some foreshadowing of the switch to come right there--and that was excellently exicuted, my dear. Yes, if Niou had to, he *could* keep his cool, his control for Yagyuu, ne?

Mmm...damn... {stretchs} tongue bath! tee hee hee... you're so *cruel* leaving the readers to do all the imaginings ^.^;;; 'm lazy... They *do* sort of resemble each other, but... yeah, it's the hair... *how* to explain why Yagyuu has longer hair? or do they tuck it up somewhere? It would be fairly easy to just add a tail clip for Niou's pony &leash&, but... hn... Saa... {grins}

So, Akaya caught on, huh? Did Sanada *not* and that's why he was a bit grumpy? Yukimura is such a tease himself...Mmm... ah, but Niou was able to learn a lot, wasn't he, from his tryst as Yagyuu, not only about his partner and his teammates, but about himself, too... Should truly prove...enlightening....

Mmm... another lovely wonderful scrumptious part! I'm hoping sunday will prove very productive indeed, since I am most anxious for more, as always! ^.^v

Well, word has it that, at some point, Sanada beat Atobe, and I knew that, at last year's Regionals, Rikkai played Hyoutei in the finals. So I put those together and settled on this; it seemed reasonable.

*grins* I delight in being cruel. How else would 'Haru-chan's pov come so easily?

And, yeah, Sanada didn't catch it this time around. *giggles* He's just way too serious.

Onward to the angst and comfort-smut!

^_^V

all fanfic authors have a hint of cruelty in them... it's just some are more willing than others to admit it, ne? {sparkles}

Saaa.. I was kinda hoping part 7 would be posted already, but oh well. I guess I'll have to try and pretend to be a good and patient girl, ne? ^.^v

Oh wow, and I mean wow. ^^ That was a wonderful read. I love the Sanada's headstrong, almost anal approach to being the best, Yukimura's obvious strength and sense of humor... I think I can see the characters grow a bit as you go on.

And don't get me started on Niou and Yagyuu. The fact that you make them complimentary opposites and build on that through a not so subtle relationship is brilliant.

I really like how this story is coming out. :D

*glows* Thank you! Getting the characters to grow is what I'm aiming for; good to know it's coming through.

*giggles* Yukimura is ending up more impish than I was expecting; it's fun.

The SWITCH happens! Yatta! I'm so happy ^_^ Yagyuu's last line, oh how wonderful Yagyuu is. So succint, and such a way with words that are often true. And Yukimura's insight is frightening. So frightening. Niou's reaction to being *coughs*courted*coughs* was just right. The postcard made me laugh out loud, and Sanads' reaction to being beaten by Atobe. *laughs* OMFG! That was just perfect, and Niou's line about mutual stalking was priceless.

LOVE! *huggles*

And in relation to Sanada and Kirihara, and the Power3, I agree with you. I just don't get any jealous vibes from them. There's too much trust and understanding between the three to really cause any rift.

LOVE this chapter!

*laughs* For the longest time, Yagyuu wouldn't tell me what he was keeping the postcards for, just that they might come in handy some time. Evil boy.

*snuggles*

Sanada was being a bear. And a bear with a sore paw, at that.

Because of you and Andrea, I drew a "Wendy and the Lost Boys" picture. And Sanada is a gwumpy bear. And that was BEFORE I read this part.

Which is absolute love! XD

*coughsbeforewaxingpoetic* Dude, for some reason Yukimura isn't the main character or whatever, nor did you write him or intend him to be one but he totally sticks in my brain. Why? WHY? I love him so much now.

Next, Yagyuu is totally fascinating. Niou is pretty transparent I suppose...but maa, this chapter was just so entertaining. I don't want to analyze anymore...*whimpers* I'll just read and enjoy! *bounces*

I ♥ thif fic! Let me draw art for your fic sometime!!! >.>

Oh, hey, you can draw for my stuff any time you want, hon! And hurry up and scan that pic so I can die laughing over it!

Ah, Yukimura. Our dear Sei-chan. He's just so compelling. Even the tiny glimpses we get in canon make him out to be very complex. Captain of the strongest junior high team in the country. Kind and softspoken (well, comparatively). And the expressions! I just bundled it all together and ran with it. *grins* Nice to hear it's coming out so well.

Nah...it's up! Clickety here, please! And hey, tell me what you think. XD (http://www.livejournal.com/users/psychobunny/92257.html)

Also featuring the Clue Trout Moment.

It's about damn time, too. ^__________^

His suggestion that Sanada now had two excellent opponents to play against, and wasn't that nice, had been met with such a glare he'd sworn he smelled singed hair in its wake.

No one *appreciates* his insight. Poor baby.

Well, except for Yukimura. But then, Yukimura is God.

"So, he finally caught you, did he?" he asked, eyes sparkling.

Masaharu, caught flatfooted, had to grope for an answer for several moments.

"I would have said it the other way around," he managed, at last.

"He's been after you since late spring," Yukimura told him, conversationally.

And so casual, too! ^____________________________^ I'd snuggle him, but even if Sanada isn't the jealous type, I fear Kirihara.

Masaharu's grin widened, notch by notch, as the outline of a superb trick blossomed in his mind's eye.

"Niou-kun?" his partner asked, sounding a bit wary. Masaharu looked at him with glowing delight.

"Yagyuu, I have the most wonderful idea," he declared.

Be afraid, oh World, be very afraid.

He went through the day feeling like a hunter behind a blind, the blind of Yagyuu's impenetrable manners. From that vantage he finally had the inexpressible delight of seeing his partner point out to their literature teacher, shriveled old prune of a martinet that he was, that the love poems of the Man'yoshu centered on distrust, not faith, and that he should really stop trying to convince them of such romantic drivel. For one glorious moment, Masaharu thought Sugawara-sensei would have heart failure on the spot. After a long look at the razor sharp smile 'Niou' was sporting, the teacher chose to ignore the insolence and move right along.

Ah, the benefits of a reputation, he thought, looking on Yagyuu with fondness concealed by the glasses he wore.

[glee]

Remind me *never* to get on the bad side of either of these boys.

"I was right, too, you know," he murmured to Yagyuu as they dispersed.

"About what?" his partner inquired, cool as ever behind his precision and glasses.

"You are magnificent when you let go."

"Narcissist," Yagyuu accused him, lightly, fingertips brushing Masaharu's hand.

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

[melts into a puddle of Em-goo]

...shit, we're running up on angst now, aren't we?

Bugger and be damned.

They really can be sweet together, for two such bastards.
