slumber party and why ?




                                                    Dying to be Beautiful.


    Mana never stopped staring at his guests who sat in his livingroom.

 MANA : Klaha. Yu ~ Ki. Ray. Izam. Arisu.

 Yu ~ Ki slept on Klaha¹ s lap due to having sex with him the night before.

 MANA : Yu ~ Ki, wake up.

 The bassist slowly opened his eyes and sat up.

 MANA : Kozi told me that he would be cat sitting tonight.
However, he will be with us in spirit during the slumber party.

 RAY : Thanks for inviting me, Mana.

 MANA : No problem.

 Arisu removed a feather duster from his maid dress.

 ARISU : Does anything need dusting ?

 MANA : Your brain.

 Arisu gasped before crying.
 Mana rolled his eyes while Izam held the Missalina Rei singer.

 RAY : Are there any cute girls here ?

 MANA : No.

 RAY : Hmph !

 Arisu and Izam painted one another¹ s nails while Klaha and Yu ~ Ki kissed.

 MANA : We could watch a few videos and eat.

 Yu ~ Ki ceased kissing momentarily.

 YU ~ KI : Do you have any chocolate ?

 Mana nodded.

 YU ~ KI : SUGAR !

 MANA : Which videos ?
I have Bubblegum Crisis, Kekko Kamen, Miyuki chan in Wonderland,
Kodomo mo Oespresso, Saint Seiya, Rei Rei, Galaxy Express 999, Sailor Moon....

 Izam piled two odangos on Arisu¹ s head.

 IZAM : Look, everyone ! Sailor Arisu !

 MANA : Whatever.

 Arisu started wailing again.
 Izam scowled at Mana.

 KLAHA : Bubblegum Crash made me want to cry.

 YU ~ KI : Why ? Was it sad ?

 KLAHA : No. It was boring. Priss had a new voice actress. Shitty art.

 IZAM : I want all of those minutes of my life back when I watched Akira !
Whoever made Gundam Wing should punch themselves in their faces over and over !

 Arisu gasped.

 ARISU : ( gasping ) Izam ! That is not very lady like to say such things !

 IZAM : You¹ re right, Arisu.

 Ray crossed his arms over his chest while pouting.

 MANA : If you want girls, I suggest you return to SHADE¹ S.
You have a female drummer.

 Ray ceased pouting.

 RAY : I¹ ll do that.

 He got up and walked out of Mana¹ s home.
 Izam gently brushed his hand against Arisu¹ s face repeatedly while staring at him.
He kissed him.
 Yu ~ Ki and Klaha imitated them. Klaha duplicated Izam.

 MANA : No anime ?

 Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu did not pay any attention to him.
 
 MANA : Does anyone want to try my cooking ?

 Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu stopped kissing.
They ran over to his bedroom door and fought over who was going to have sex in his bed.
 Mana sighed. He decided to take a walk through the forest.
He did not bother telling anyone since they were preoccupied with sex.
He quietly opened the front door and walked out of his home.
 Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu all burst through the doorway at the same time.

 IZAM : LAST ONE TO MANA¹ S BED HAS TO HAVE SEX ON THE FLOOR !

 He and Arisu were the lucky couple. He undressed his lover until he was nude.
He kissed his mouth several times. He moved his hands up and down Arisu¹ s chest.
He heard him shriek when his mouth was on his male organ. It went higher in Izam¹ s mouth.

 ARISU : Izam !

 His lover¹ s head went up and down. He squeezed it slightly until there was semen.
His tongue started from the scrotum and made its way to the top. He kissed every inch.
 Klaha slowly rose and peeked at the couple. He was seen by Arisu.

 ARISU : DO YOUR OWN !

 Klaha quickly returned to having oral sex with Yu ~ Ki.
 Izam touched every part of Arisu¹ s nude body.
 
 ARISU : I hope that Mana is not too angry when he finds my semen on his blanket.

 IZAM : Speaking of Mana, has anyone seen him ?

 Klaha and Yu ~ Ki ignored him. Klaha was the 6 and Yu ~ Ki was the 9.

 IZAM : Maybe we should look for him.

 ARISU : I am not interested. He did make me cry a few times.

 IZAM : I know, but he is the one who invited us to his slumber party.

 He was annoyed when Klaha made loud slurping noises. He rolled his eyes.
 Arisu sighed.

 ARISU : I will help you look for Mana.

 Izam smiled.

 ARISU : First....

 He removed his feather duster from behind his bare back.

 IZAM : OK, but very quickly.

 He tickled every part of Arisu¹ s body and made him laugh.
 Klaha looked up and peeked again. He knew that Yu ~ Ki was not ticklish.
He envied the Shazna and Missalina Rei vocalists. His head was pushed down by Izam.
 The Shazna singer used the feather duster to tickle Arisu¹ s nose.
He helped him dress in his maid costume.
 Klaha whispered to Yu ~ Ki.

 YU ~ KI : Raiding Mana¹ s wardrobe is a great idea, Klaha.

 IZAM : We have to look for him.

 YU ~ KI : This will only take a minute.

 He and Klaha sorted through Mana¹ s various dresses.
 Klaha ended up wearing a long black dress along with a ton of blue jewelry.
His lover wore high heel boots, blue panties with pink lace, and a matching bra.

 IZAM : You can play Dress Up later. We have to search for Mana.

 YU ~ KI : He wouldn¹ t give me any chocolate.

 Izam rolled his eyes.

 IZAM : Which is more important ? Finding Mana or stuffing your face with chocolate ?

 YU ~ KI : Stuffing my face with chocolate !

 Izam sighed.

 IZAM : Maybe if you¹ re good, Mana will give you chocolate later.

 YU ~ KI : Let¹ s look for him !

 He and Klaha dressed in their regular outfits before helping Izam and Arisu.
 Mana walked through a small forest until he approached a lake.
He knelt on the ground before looking at his scowling face in the water.
His long hair concealed the sides of his face. He growled while he thought about his guests.
 Arisu irritated him because of his emotional personality and his dusting obsession.
Izam was annoying because he was one of the guests who ignored him.
All he did was style Arisu¹ s hair and love him. Ray was only interested in girls.
Klaha and Yu ~ Ki lived in their own world. Their only crime was loving one another.
 Mana submerged his hand until something grabbed his wrist !
He was pulled within the lake. His screams were never heard.
He thrashed, but was unable to free himself.
 
 MANA : ( thinking ) I can¹ t die now ! My guests will destroy my home !

 He was pulled deeper and deeper until he reached the lake¹ s bottom.
He had already fainted.
 When he opened his eyes, he found himself within a room.
He was on a bed. He looked around his blue environment.
He noticed a shadow in front of him.

 SHADOW : Hi, Mana !

 The Malice Mizer leader gasped.

 MANA : ( gasping ) Tetsu ?

 The shadow stepped into the light.
 Tetsu¹ s smile was cruel. His hair was long and blue instead of golden.
He did not wear his usual black garments. He now wore a strange outfit with jewelry.
His dress had a belt. There was a cape attached to the top of his dress that curved.
One side of his shoulder was up and the other was down. His fingers and face were shown.

 TETSU : I am going to enjoy stealing your beauty while watching you die slowly.

 MANA : What ?! Why ?!

 Tetsu frowned.

 TETSU : Your memory must be poor if you don¹ t recall firing me.

 MANA : Your voice never matched Malice Mizer.

 He could see the hatred and anger in Tetsu¹ s eyes.

 TETSU : I was in a band called Zigzo a few years ago until I quit.
It was not the same as Malice Mizer. I never forgot about the day you fired me, Mana.
It haunted me in my nightmares. I finally decided to commit suicide by drowning myself.
This lake is my permanent home. I live in a palace now.
When you die, I will have eternal pleasant dreams.

 He knelt on the bed and kissed him.

 TETSU : Your beauty will decay during this sexual experience.
Why ? I was reborn to hurt you just like you hurt me.
When you die, I will show your hideous corpse to our band so that I can let go of the past.
I will be the most beautiful Malice Mizer member. No ! I want to be the Malice Mizer leader.
I plan on absorbing your beauty.

 He tore Mana¹ s dress so that most of his body would be exposed.
He slowly removed the panties and threw them near the bed.
His mouth concealed the top of the penis momentarily.
He lifted his dress before sitting on top of it and moving his body up and down.
 Mana gasped when he saw that his hand was decaying very quickly.
 Tetsu felt the penis go in and out of his anus before ejaculation.
He watched Mana look at his rotting chest.
 In the meantime, Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu ran through the forest.

 YU ~ KI : The faster we find Mana, the faster I can have chocolate and kiss Klaha.

 KLAHA : You can kiss me now if you want.

 YU ~ KI : I would rather kiss you in Mana¹ s bed.

 KLAHA : Oh.

 The J rockers paused when they saw the lake.
 Arisu gasped.

 ARISU : Did Mana....?

 Yu ~ Ki shrugged.

 YU ~ KI : Oh well. Mana drowned. Let¹ s raid his pantry !
He has to have chocolate !

 Izam scowled when he looked at him.

 IZAM : Don¹ t be selfish, Yu ~ Ki !

 Tetsu smiled while Mana rotted more and more.
He got out of bed and left him to die slowly.

 TETSU : I never saw you smile, Mana. Now, you will grin forever.

 He laughed quietly while exiting the room and entering another with a mirror in it.
He admired his excessive beauty. He gasped when he saw an image of Mana¹ s guests.
He recognized Yu ~ Ki, but he did not know who Klaha, Izam, and Arisu were.
He smiled. He stretched out a hand that created a whirlpool.
 The liquid tornado sucked Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu into the lake.
It guided them towards the castle.
 They found themselves within the palace.

 IZAM : Mana has to be here somewhere.

 ARISU : Does this castle need dusting ?

 YU ~ KI : Will there be chocolate here ?

 KLAHA : You and your chocolate, Yu ~ Ki.

 His lover smiled.

 YU ~ KI : Maybe you can cover your nude body with chocolate tonight, Klaha.
I can lick every inch of you.

 KLAHA : Maybe.

 Izam was alert when he saw Tetsu in front of him.

 IZAM : Who are you ?

 Yu ~ Ki gasped.

 YU ~ KI : Tetsu !

 Klaha squinted.

 KLAHA : Is he your secret lover, Yu ~ Ki ?

 YU ~ KI : No. He was our first vocalist.

 TETSU : That is correct, Yu ~ Ki.

 IZAM : Is Mana here ?

 TETSU : Yes and no.

 IZAM : What do you mean ?

 TETSU : Observe for yourselves.

 He stepped to the side thus revealing a glass coffin with Mana¹ s dead body in it !
 Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu ran over to it.

 IZAM : MANA !

 The deceased Malice Mizer leader¹ s face was that of a mere skull.
The eye sockets were empty. He no longer had hair. His grin was eternal.
 Yu ~ Ki looked at Tetsu. His eyes were more than angry.

 TETSU : Isn¹ t he hideous ? Look at your leader who hurt me, Yu ~ Ki.
 He can¹ t hurt me anymore. Stare at him.

 Yu ~ Ki stared into the eye sockets thus realizing that he would look like that.
He discovered his own mortality. He forgot about chocolate and Klaha.
He wept on Mana¹ s casket.
 Klaha, Izam, and Arisu shared his tears.
 Tetsu laughed at their suffering until his jewelry started cracking.

 TETSU : What ?!

 He gasped when Mana¹ s hair and skin slowly reappeared.

 TETSU : Why ?!

 He watched Mana open his eyes.
 Izam removed the coffin lid and held him while Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, and Arisu copied him.

 TETSU : Did their love revive Mana ?

 The Malice Mizer leader rose and stepped out of the casket.
He stared at Tetsu and smiled.
 
 MANA : Look at yourself in the mirror, Tetsu.

 The villain obeyed and shrieked when he saw his decaying face.

 TETSU : NO ! IMPOSSIBLE !

 MANA : The mirror now reflects your inner and outer self.
You were once beautiful on the outside, but now you are hideous inside and outside.
Your beautiful jewelry is cracking because of your evil deed.
You will die a hideous death and never be reborn. Your beauty and hatred kept you alive.
Love and friendship are unable to heal your open cuts now.

 Tetsu revealed tears before his jewelry and mirror shattered.
His eyes widened before he collapsed.

 YU ~ KI : TETSU !

 MANA : Why are you shouting like that ?

 YU ~ KI : He was once a part of Malice Mizer.
He will always be a part of our history.

 He looked at the skeleton within the outfit.

 ARISU : Do his bones need dusting ?

 MANA : Let¹ s go back to my place.

 Klaha, Yu ~ Ki, Izam, and Arisu nodded.
They swam with Mana to the lake¹ s surface.
They returned to Mana¹ s home where they got into dry clothes.
They sat on Mana¹ s bed in a sphere.
 Mana had made hot chocolate for Yu ~ Ki who refused. He raised an eyebrow.

 MANA : Yu ~ Ki giving up chocolate ? I never thought I would see the day.

 Yu ~ Ki rested his head on Klaha¹ s arm. His tears left his eyes.

 YU ~ KI : Tetsu was dying to be beautiful. Rest in peace, Tetsu.



     THE END.
