WASABI SHONEN Chapter One: This Has To Be A Dream!:
(A work of original fiction, all characters are my own)
By Rudhheledion

The pen dropped from Mikito\'s hand, and rolled down the school stairwell. Mikito\'s head leaned back against the wall as his eyes closed.
He had soon found himself falling through darkness. Mikito\'s hands slided against the black slickness of the tight walls around him. Only for a flashing instant just before he reached the bottom he thought he saw her face. The face of Hikaru Shino, one of the most cutest and intelligent girls in his 2nd year class. Then all was darkness again. Mikito stood up on this blackness. This time however it was solid and smooth; but not slippery.
He thought he heard someone calling out his name through the pitch, \"Mikito! Wake up, Mikito-sama!\"
Mikito\'s eyes abruptly snapped open as he felt a hand stroking along his shaft. His eyes met with hazel green ones wearing a wide grin. The voice from before in his mind came out of those grinning lips. \"About time you got up, Mikito-sama. You\'ve been sleeping under this tree all morning.\"
Mikito tried to back away from him; but hit his head against the tree trunk. \"Ouch.\"
The hazel eyed youth asked in a concern choked voice. \"Are you okay, Master Mikito?\"
Mikito rubbed the back of his head inquiring, \"Master? What are you talking about?\"
Mikito looked up at the youth and gasped with disbelief. His hands reached upwards. Mikito\'s hands gently took hold of the cat ears on top of the blond boy\'s head. His fingers massaged them gently to see if it was real. The cat boy moaned in pleasure at the feeling. At the sound of the moan Mikito\'s hands suddenly pulled away from the cat ears.
The shirtless, cat boy requested smiling with a faint blush. \"Oh, Master Mikito, don\'t stop. Rub \'em again.\"
Mikito frowned at the cat boy as he had grabbed hold of Mikito\'s hands and placed them back on those slightly cold cat ears.
Mikito then pushed the cat boy back as he felt him rubbing affectionately up against him. Mikito tried to get his disheveled clothing back in order. \"Stop calling me that. I\'m nobodies master.\"
The blond youth pouted at Mikito. \"But Mikito-sama! Don\'t you remember? You gave me a choice of freedom after saving me from the slave traders!\"
Mikito frowned; this somehow had seemed familiar to him. He just didn\'t know why or how it should be, \"Slave traders? Freedom? I don\'t even know who you are?\"
The cat boy kept his lips pouting slightly as he scolded Mikito. \"Stop it, Mikito-sama! Don\'t play such a cruel, fake amnesia on me. You know my name is Kaoru.\"
Mikito stood up remarking, \"I don\'t have time for this nonesense. You\'re making me late for class.\"
Mikito walked forward three steps passed the cat boy, Kaoru. He then halted. He looked around to only see tall, green grass blades dotted with the occasional tree. Mikito turned around to face Kaoru.
He snapped. \"Where in HELL have you abducted me?!\"
Kaoru sighed. \"Master, I didn\'t abduct anyone. It\'s the Demon Lord Orion. He\'s the one whom abducted the Princess Shiara of Lennox. Remember? We are on the quest to rescue the King of Lennox\'s daughter?\" Kaoru seemed to be looking Mikito with a puzzled look on his face.
Mikito doubled blinked at all that as he absorbed that information. \"Did you say Orion and King of Lennox?\"
Kaoru only nodded his head that he had said that.
Mikito pointed at him. \"And your name again?\"
He smiled as his cat tail seemed to swish happily for a second. \"Kaoru-kun.\"
Mikito took a step backwards in shock. \"No way. This must be some kind of dream. It has to be. Kaoru, pinch me.\"
Kaoru grinned as his tail happily swished behind him as he moved closer to Mikito, and softly pinched Mikito\'s bottom.
Mikito swatted the hand away as he demanded of Kaoru, \"What do you think you were doing?!\"
\"You told me to pinch you. Remember Mikito-sama?\"
Mikito blushed, \"I didn\'t mean there!\"
Kaoru grabbed Mikito\'s hand again. \"Come on, Master. We still have a long journey to rescue Princess Shiara.\"
Mikito felt himself being pulled forward. Mikito\'s own emerald green eyes followed Kaoru\'s happily swishing tail. Mikito couldn\'t believe this wasn\'t a dream. He had fallen into the story he had been working on in the stairwell at school. He was convinced that somehow it just had to be a dream and not real at all. Mikito decided that despite that fact he\'d treat it for now like this was real. Mikito had never seen anything like Kaoru before; except in his own imagination. He shook his head and changed his mind; that this had to be some crazy dream from working to much on his epic story.
Mikito pulled back his hand from Kaoru\'s grasp. Kaoru turned around abruptly to face Mikito. Mikito felt bad as he saw the frown on Kaoru\'s face and that his tail was no longer happily swishing. \"Why are you being so distant, Master?\"
Mikito said somewhat testily. \"I\'m not a child. I can walk by myself.\"
The cat boy\'s frown deepened. Kaoru then huffed, \"Fine then. It\'s going to be one of \'those\' days.\"
Kaoru angrily turned his back upon Mikito and walked off grumbling something that Mikito couldn\'t hear. Mikito followed the cat boy; not seeing many other options presented to him. Mikito soon found himself on a dirt path behind Kaoru. Mikito almost rammed into Kaoru\'s back when the cat boy had suddenly stopped in his tracks. Kaoru\'s cat tail and his hair upon the back of his neck stood straight.
Mikito asked.\"What\'s wrong?\"
Kaoru\'s nose cutely twitched. \"I smell something demonic. Be on guard, Mikito-sama, fore it is closing in on us.\"
A massive ripple appeared in the tall grasses ahead of them. Kaoru\'s fingers flexed for a second. To Mikito\'s prespective it looked like Kaoru was eager and ready for a fight. Mikito\'s own body slightly shook with fear at what horrible demon could possibly be approaching them.
A colossal, gray scaled serpent burst forth from the grass; soaring through the air towards the two of them. Mikito watched unable to move as Kaoru leaped into the air towards the eyeless, gray monster of a serpent. Kaoru\'s sharp fingernails seemed to slide off the sickly gray scales; leaving no damage behind.
Kaoru landed in a crouched position behind the swiftly moving snake.
Kaoru shouted at Mikito as the serpent raised up into the air to make a downward strike after landing in front of Mikito, \"Quick, Master, blast it with a spell!\"
Mikito jumped and rolled out of the way of the enormous, blind serpent. The serpent bit down swallowing only dust and stone.
Mikito stood back up and looked at Kaoru. Mikito protested, \"I\'m no magician. I can\'t cast spells!\"
Kaoru countered. \"You are a Mizrae Priest! Call upon His Holy Power and cast the Spell!\"
Mikito thrusted his hand out towards the blind creature quickly slithering towards him. \"MIZRAE!!\"
A brilliant green symbol swirled around on Mikito\'s palms and then shot forth in the form of green fog. The green vapors completely engulfed the serpent stopping it in it\'s tracks as it hissed in pain. The serpent struggled against the green fog as it ate away the serpent; not even leaving the bones behind.
Kaoru grinned as he glomped tightly onto Mikito. \"I knew you could do it, Master Mikito.\"
He happily and affectionately rubbed his cheek against Mikito\'s cheek. His tail swished happily once more.
