"Nani, Kourin?" Nuriko asked, turning off the vaccuum cleaner.
Kourin stared at him, "Nii-sama...what are you doing?!?"
Nuriko gave her a look, "What does it look like? I'm cleaning my room."
"De-demo!" Kourin protested, "It's your birthday today!! You're /cleaning/ on your birthday?!?"
Nuriko shrugged, "I don't mind. I like to keep my room neat."
Now it was Kourin's turn to give him a look. Shaking her head she said, "Anyways, Nii-sama. I came here to tell you to change."
"Doshitu?" Nuriko asked, putting the vaccuum away.
"Just do it." Kourin went to his closet and pulled out a pair of blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a button down black shirt.
"Why do I have to change? What is this for?!?" Nuriko demanded.
Kourin giggled and said, "You'll see."
Nuriko backed away, "I'll see?" he repeated, the memories of Fun...Our Way coming back to him...when Ritz had said "You'll see" in the exact same tone as Kourin and then unleashed a bunch of girls who decided that it would be nice to give him a homemade shower. "ARGH!!! My skin is still pruny!!! And no, Danielle, I will not catch a cold!!!" He screamed out loud.
Kourin looked at him and sighed at this recurring flashback, "It's okay, Nii-sama. Fun...Our Way is over." She debated whether or not to tell Ritz not to do a Part 2 for the sanity of her brother, but, of course thought against it and patted him reassuringly on the shoulder instead. "Now...we're going to get you changed and ready." She turned back to the closet and began pulling out clothes, "I dunno...maybe...you need a suit. *tosses the suit on his head*..or maybe a plaid shirt instead of black...black's not really your colour *tosses the plaid shirt on his head*...or maybe you should just wear your Chinese clothing. *piles it on Nuriko* You look extremely hot in those too...or maybe..." Kourin continued pulling out clothing till there was none left and then turned around to her brother, "Which outfit do you think is good, Nii-sama?" Nani? She looked around for him, "Nii-sama?"
Slowly, from the pile of clothing on the floor, a hand rose out.
--A half hour later--
Nuriko and Kourin had finally decided on an outfit. Nuriko was to wear blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a navy blue plaid shirt. Nuriko was just pulling on his jeans when a girl carrying a keyboard under her arm, suddenly popped into the room.
"Konnichi-wa, minna!" She chirped cheerfully. Then, seeing Nuriko in the middle of *cough cough* her eyes immediately began illuminating H rays and drool began to run down her chin.
Nuriko hastily zipped up his pants as Kourin screamed, "RITZ!!!"
Ritz quickly wiped the drool off her chin, "Nani?" She asked innocently.
"What are you doing here so early?!?" Kourin shouted.
"I'm here to pick you guys up!" Ritz protested, "It's 7:30pm." She held out her watch for Kourin to see.
Kourin glowered at her, "Ritz...your watch says that it's 7:00 right now."
"Oh.." Ritz exclaimed, glancing at her watch, "Heh heh...my mistake then..I I guess I must of read the numbers wrong..."
"How can you mix up 7 and 7:30?!?" Kourin exclaimed as Nuriko blushed. "Ah, forget it...I know you just wanted to see Nii-sama change..."
"No, of course not...what gave you that idea?" Ritz told them, with wide innocent eyes. She then turned to Nuriko, "You know, Nuri-chan...I don't think blue suits you...it's more of a Tamahome colour...let's help you find something more suitable..H.H"
--Another half hour later--
After much more changing, a very sastified Ritz, a very exhausted Nuriko, and a very tired Kourin were transported to Ritz's house with the help of her trusty keyboardTM. The 3 stood out on Ritz's porch.
"Nuriko, you stay out here." Kourin instructed him.
"And I'll stay out here with you!!!" Ritz cried, glomping onto him and promptly getting whacked in the head by Kourin. "I mean...I'm going to go in with Kourin." Ritz corrected herself quickly, "Wait out here, Nuri-chan." She opened the door and let Kourin into the dark house.
Kourin turned to Ritz and whispered, "Okay. Now he's here. Is everything ready?"
Ritz nodded, "Hai."
"Yosh." Kourin returned to the front porch and let Nuriko into the living room.
Nuriko sweatdropped as he saw the dark room. This wouldn't be some sort of estrogen-charged plan of Ritz's, would it? He cast a quick glance at Ritz who grinned at him, causing him to sweatdrop more.
"A-ano..." Nuriko whispered, "what's going on?"
Ritz suddenly flicked on the lights and bodies jumped up, yelling, "SURPRISE! Happy Birthday Nuriko!"
"NURIKO!!!" Mnekov cried, immeadiately clinging off of Nuriko's braid.
All the girls from Fun...Our Way immeadiately took their respective places on Nuriko. Confuzcius his neck, Minako his right leg, Nuriko-chan his left leg, Danielle his arm, and Chanpu his other arm.
Nuriko sweat rained as the girls immeadiately began drooling again. (well, in Mnekov's case, slobbering) Mike stood off to the side, giving Nuriko a sympathetic look, Kourin looked exasperated, Ritz was typing on her keyboard, and there were two new girls. One was staring at him with hearts in her eyes while the other sat there, sketching.
"Who-who are you?" Nuriko croaked.
The heart-eyed girl immeadiately ran to Nuriko, "Watashi Ryuuen no Miko!!!" She gushed, "I'm your miko!!!"
"*more sweatrain* My miko?!?"
Nuriko turned to the girl who was sketching, "Then who are you?"
The girl looked up from her drawing and said, "I'm Shawnna."
"How's the pic coming along?" Mnekov asked.
"Pic?!?" Nuriko gasped.
"Oh you didn't know?!?" Chanpu asked, "Shawnna is drawing you!!!"
"NANI?!?"
"Yeah!" Confuzcius agreed, nestling herself closer to Nuriko, "Isn't that nice? We get to be in the picture too!!! So, you're not allowed to move!!!"
*enough sweat rain from Nuriko to flood several large cities...*
Kourin watched her brother with a worried expression, "Ri-itz..." She hissed, "I think you should do something about all those girls..."
"Hold on sec. Almost done..." Ritz finished typing on her keyboard and the room filled with presents, a cake, and food. "Ok.." She typed on her trusty keyboard and Nuriko got transported in front of a table which had a HUGE 3 layer cake with purple flowers on it.
"Time for cake everyone!!!" Ritz said, cheerfully.
"Yeah, then we'll get to open presents!" Danielle added, looking at the refrigerator loaded with whipped cream and assorted flavours of jello.
"Come on, let's sing to Nuriko, minna!" Chanpu suggested.
"Matte!" Ritz cried.
Everyone stared at her. "Nani?"
"We can't have a birthday party without Nuri's birthday hat!!!" She typed on her keyboard and a load of whipped cream formed in the shape of a cone dropped on his head.
Kourin glowered at Ritz, "RITZ!!!"
"Oops..." Ritz said, "I messed up." She typed on her keyboard again and a cherry drops on top of the whipped cream. "There. That's better!!!"
"ACK!!!" Nuriko cried, "My hair!!!"
"Don't worry, Nuriko," Mnekov said, grinning wickedly, "I'll help you get it off. H.H"
"Yeah, we'll all help you, Nuriko!" Ryuuen no Miko added, looking at the whipped cream with big H-filled eyes.
Everyone nodded enthusiastically. (Well, everyone except Mike who groaned, Kourin who sighed, and Nuriko who sweated...)
"Oh, don't sweatdrop Nuriko! Your whipped cream is running down your face!" Confuzcius said, sweeping up the excess cream on Nuri's forehead with her finger and popping it into her mouth.
"Oooohhh!" Danielle squealed, "I get the cherry!!! I called dibs on it!!!"
"NANI?!" Nuriko-chan cried, "I want the cherry on top!!!"
*much bickering occurs*
Mike whistled, breaking up the crazed estrogen-charged argument.
"Why don't we sing 'Happy Birthday' to Nuriko?" Shawnna asked, (the only one who can control her raging hormones.^.^).
"Good idea!" Kourin agreed, enthusiastically, glad that her nii-sama's hair was spared...for now...
"Okay," Ritz said, "one, two, three..."
*an off-key 'Happy Birthday' is sung, causing all the lights in the surrounding houses to turn on and wonder if someone just got murdered*
Nuriko covered his ears, trying to block out the screeching. He felt a gentle tap on his shoulder as Kourin told him, "Nii-sama...it's okay, it's over... It's time to cut the cake now."
"It-it is?" Nuriko asked, his eyes wide with fright.
"Yup!" Ritz replied cheerfully, handing him a knife. "Now, it's time--"
"Matte, Ritz-chan!" Mike cut in, "Nuriko still has to make his wish!!!"
"Oh yah! That's right!"
"Nuriko, come here." Mike motioned him over and whispered something in his ear. Nuriko looked surprised, giving Mike a doubtful look.
"It's worth a shot." Mike told him.
Nuriko shrugged and said, "We'll see."
"See what?" Confuzcius asked. "What did you tell him, Mike?"
Mike shrugged and said, "Nothing."
"Eww..." Chanpu shrieked, "It must have been--!!"
*everyone gawks at Mike as yaoi images fill their minds*
"IT'S NOT ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!!" Mike screamed, the vien in his forehead throbbing.
"Don't worry, Nuriko!" Mnekov cried, leaping on him, "We'll protect you from Mike."
"It's not what you guys think it is!" Mike cried, "Man..you girls are so hentai!!!"
"It's okay to admit it, Mike." Minako patted his shoulder comfortingly."It's understandable why someone would fall in love with our Nuriko."
"You wouldn't agree to it, would you, Nuriko?" Ryuuen no Miko, asked with big vibrating eyes.
Nuriko tried to shield himself from the insistent shimmering of the girl's eyes, "Uhh..I think I'm going to make that wish now." He hastily turned back to the cake, shut his eyes and muttered something fervently.
"YAY!" Mnekov cried when he was done, "What did you wish for?"
Shawnna shook her head, "But he can't tell you, Mnekov. It won't come true then."
Mnekov grinned seductively, "I'll make it come true."
Kourin gave Ritz a look and Ritz quickly said, "Ano, Nuri-chan! We put 18 candles on your cake. I hope that's alright."
Nuriko looked at her and smiled, relieved that the hentainess was ebbing, "I think so. After all, I did die before...so I haven't aged."
"Wow!" Minako cried, running her hand up and down his arm, "You're still so young then...H.H"
Nuriko sweatdropped, hentainess ebbing? He wasn't that lucky.
"Ooh! Cut the cake, Nuriko!" Danielle cried, but before Nuriko could even touch the cake, she grabbed him by the arm. "You know what? On second thought, let's get to your presents first! I can't wait to use them! Er.. I mean..." Cowers as the rest of the NFC glowers at her, "I meant, I'm sure you'll like them."
The NFC sat Nuri down on the floor and each gave him their present, (sitting on Nuri's lap while they gave him each present! Ureshii...^.^)
Danielle, Confuzcius, and Minako gave him a joint present. Confuzcius gave him whipped cream, Danielle gave him a lifetime supply of jello in assorted flavours, and Minako gave him 20 bottles of chocolate syrup.
"I bought it especially in the squeeze bottle," She explained, winking, "so, it's uh...more easily assessible."
*big sweatdrop covers half of Nuriko's face.* "Ano..." He asked, "are these presents for me or you?"
Confuzcius glomped onto Nuriko, "Of course, they're for you, Nuriko. It's for your own enjoyment! Your enjoyment is our enjoyment!!!"
*sweatdrop gets bigger*
Nuriko-chan gave him a set of embroidered towels with his name stitched on them. "I have a set too." She informed him, "But mine are in pink while yours is in purple. That way we won't get them mixed up when we get married."
*sweatdrop enlarges some more*
Chanpu gave him a pic of Hotohori popping out of a birthday cake. Mnekov promptly used the heavy, hard-covered dictionary and whacked her in the head. Chanpu lay on the floor, her eyes in spirals.
Ritz buried her face in her hands... "I knew I should have warned her about Mnekov's 'Let's keep Nuriko straight' obsession."
"I heard that!" Mnekov called, from Nuriko's lap. She handed her present to Nuriko (styling tools and hair dye), and got up with heavy hard-covered Webster's dictionary in hand. "We'll style your hair later," Mnekov called back to him, smacking Ritz brutally with her book.
Ryuuen no Miko showed Nuriko her shrine to him, causing him to suffer from a mix of emotions. He was touched by the girl's shrine and screensaver but still worried, who knew what she might do to him?..He shivered as he remembered his pruny skin from Fun...Our Way...
Shawnna crawled into Nuriko's lap,"I drew you a picture, Nuriko."
Nuriko looked at the picture of him topless in bed."It's really great!" He told her, "It looks just like me." He suddenly did a double-take, wait a minute...I'm topless?!? Oi...@_@ "I'm...how do you know what I look like? I mean..how I look like...like that?"
Shawnna winked, "I have a good imagination."
*sweatdrop now eclipses entire face*
Mike gave Nuriko a crowbar, saying simply, "You'll need it."
"Yeah! From you!" Chanpu retorted.
"Oi! What's that supposed to mean?!?" Mike and Chanpu start to fight...
"Now that everyone's finished," Danielle announced, "Let's try out our presents!" She began squeezing whipped cream over Nuriko.
All the members of the NFC, [well, except Ritz (who's still trying to figure out what to give Nuriko), Kourin, and Mike] immeadiately began uh...turning Nuriko into an extremely tasty dessert. (Not that he wasn't yummy enough before! ^.~)
"Matte minna!" Kourin cried, when she noticed some of the girls begin nibbling on their treat." Ritz still hasn't given Nuri-chan his present yet."
Ritz looked down, not quite sure what to give. "What do you want, Nuriko-chan?" She asked.
"I know!" Mike offered,"Why don't you make Nuriko's wish come true?"
"Yeah! That's a good idea!" Nuriko immediately chimed in.
"Honto ni?" Ritz asked eagerly."Okay. I'll make your wish come true then!" She typed on her keyboard and Nuriko--DISSAPEARED?!?!
"NANI?!?" Everyone (except Mike) cried."Doko wa Nuriko?!?"
--- Nuriko lay on his bed in his room. Whew, he thought, that was a close one! Good thing I took Mike's advice and wished for a free day. He touched his hair and noticed, to his pleasure, that the wish had also restored him to his usual non-sticky self. He sighed contentedly and settled down for a nap. He couldn't have asked for a better birthday present or a better birthday.
