Chapter 9: can Ueda perform magic? why is the fairy so scary sometimes?
Enjoy!
Chapter 9
Had someone told him a few weeks ago that he would be sharing his life with a girl, he would have laughed hard. Commitments? No, thanks. And had they told him it would be with a fairy, he would have laughed even harder.
Besides, it’s not an ordinary fairy he’s living with. He still can’t grasp her. On the one hand, she is sparkling and prancing all around. Her smile and laugh make him forget everything. On the other hand, she can suddenly turn into a kind of ninja-girl. And that can be quite scary sometimes…
“Ueda!? What are you daydreaming about? You’re out-of synch again.”
Ueda raises his head to see Maru looking a little angry.
“Gomen. I’m… I’m just lost in thoughts.”
“Break?” Jin offers.
The young men stop dancing. Anyway, they’ve been practicing for almost two hours now so a break will definitely be welcome.
“Ok, now you’ve got to tell us what the matter is. You’ve been weird lately.” Kame states.
“It’s complicated…”
He doesn’t know what to do. To be totally fair, he’d be relieved to talk to them and explain the situation.
“Alright. I’ve got a problem indeed” he starts but then has to stop as he feels totally ridiculous.
“What kind of problem?” Taguchi asks.
“Remember when I told you about the fairy?”
His friends start laughing but stop when they see him looking so serious.
“Masaka〜” Koki says ‘don’t tell me…”
“I know” he simply cuts off. “The crazy thing is that I can see fairies and because of that I’ve got all those guys and scary supernatural creatures after me!”
He said it. He can’t believe he said it. Everybody’s staring at him. Kame is the first to speak:
“So that’s what it was all about… the men who attacked you…”
“You’ll have to give us more details though” Nakamaru adds.
“And I want to hear about you and the fairy!”
Last comment came from Jin of course.
***
Strangely enough, his friends take him seriously.
“I can’t believe it…” Jin starts.
“Yes, so weird…eyes thieves” Taguchi adds.
“No” Jin cuts off, “the fairy was a virgin!? - Ouch!”
He couldn’t avoid Kame’s hand.
“Baka, Tat-chan doesn’t need your silly comment at the moment.”
“Can we… well, is there something we can do to help?” Koki asks.
“I don’t really know… actually I think there isn’t much to do…”
And that’s true. Apart from running if he happens to meet the guys again, what else can he do?
***
“What? You want me to teach you how to fight?”
The fairy looks surprised and starts laughing.
“I want to be able to fight back if…”
“Chotto, she cuts off, “you’re a boxer, ne? You already know how to fight.”
“See how useless I was last time I was attacked!”
And she keeps on laughing which annoys him a little. But before he gets the chance to protest, she waves a hand at him and explains:
“Last time you didn’t expect it that’s why you didn’t react. First you need to keep cool and stop panic.”
“I don’t panic!” he says in a very high-pitched voice - so he understands he’s actually panicking.
“It’s just that I’m a bit lost…”
“Ok there might be something…”
“Tell me!”
“It’s just an idea and I’m not sure it’ll work -”
“What have you got in mind?”
“I’m going to teach a protective spell. It’s a spell I learned from my mum and it’s quite useful. When you use it you create a kind of distraction in your opponent’s mind and it gives you time to run off.”
He can’t believe it. What does she expect? He’s not “magical” so how could he possibly perform a spell!?
“It’s quite easy actually” she interrupts his trail of thoughts, “ and what do you have to lose?”
***
“Pampililu pimpum pam? - are your sure it’s the correct spell?” he asks, casting a skeptical look at her.
The answer comes right away as Chiaki bursts into laughter.
“Gomen, gomen Tat-chan. If you could see your face now -”
“Honestly! I don’t find it funny - at all!”
“Sorry, I won’t do it again…”
Her face becomes more serious. She takes a deep breath:
“Spirits - from you I do beseech, protection that lies beyond my reach.”.”
He’s waiting - and waiting.
“That’s it?”
“What were you expecting exactly?”
“I don’t know - maybe something a tat more complicated…”
“Words don’t matter much in this case. Actually I think if you’ve got enough will power you can just drop them. Anyway, shall we try?... Imagine I’m attacking you -”
***
He’s trying really hard but it doesn’t seem to be working.
“It’s useless I think.”
“You don’t put enough will in it.You want to mean it.”
“Sorry but it’s you and it’s hard to…”
“Ok” she sighs looking quite… well quite angry actually. “I need a break.”
She disappears.
***
Except that when she comes back, Ueda is under the impression it’s another person in front of him. Her face is cold and he can’t look in her eyes. She’s surrounded by some kind of dark aura now and he doesn’t understand. She moves closer to him and starts kissing him.
“Er… Chiaki-chan, what…?”
He doesn’t have time to react as she violently pushed him on the ground. What’s she doing? If it’s her way to have him attack her, it’s silly and has to stop. She seems to be reading his mind and he suddenly see a scary smile appear on her face.
“I think I’ve played with you long enough now and I’m tired of it -” She gently caresses his cheek and then continues in a cold tone: “Your eyes are mine so just give them to me.”
Chiaki is really scary. She prevents him from moving and he suddenly notices how strong she actually is. Masaka〜 it can’t be true - this can’t be happening? It’s a nightmare.
“Spirits - from you I do beseech, protection that lies beyond my reach -”
“ぎゃーぼ〜 gyabo”
The fairy flies a few meters away. What has he done?
“That hurts” she grumbles, ‘But you did it! Congrats’〜”
He stares at her wide-eyed. She stands back on her feet and moves closer to him again. He steps back - or at least he tries to. She smiles.
“You do realize that if I really was after your eyes I could have taken them long ago… Anyway, moving on - you did it! The spell works!”
He shakes his head - still trying to understand what has just happened.
“Let me get this straight - you did all that to scare me and make me practice the spell?”
“I did and it was efficient!”
“Don’t ever do that again!!!”
His heart is beating really fast. He must calm down.
“Sorry” he adds more gently, “I know you did it to help out but I was so scared… Did I hurt you?”
She is laughing now.
“No, don’t worry about that! Maou 〜”
The fairy throws herself in his arms.
“I can see you’re worried… to prove you I’m ok, why don’t we…?”
She whispers something in his ear. He turns red and smiles.

A/N: Is the spell going to come in handy? who knows? Well, I do of course. For those who may wonder the 1st spell is a reference to Creamy mami ~
Enjoy!
