Nobuyuki Muyo!
"I think we should start seeing other people, that's all."
"But... But why? Why now?" Nobuki Nobuyuki asked.
"Because you're a perverted weenie, Nobby-chan," Achika said.
Achika shook her head. "I don't know 'why now'. I just think
we're too young to be tied down," She took Nobuyuki's hand. "It's not
like we won't be seeing each other. We'll just be seeing other
people."
Translation: " Sorry, you're boring me to tears and I've seen some hot stud
who's pants I want to get into."
Achika gave a start. "What?"
"Are you seeing someone else?"
Achika raised an eyebrow. "Does it matter?"
"Of course it matters!" Nobuyuki cried, his words echoing down
the cave.
"Why?" Achika snapped. "Why does it matter?"
Because then he'll know there is no chance of you two getting back
together, duh.
Achika stood up. "I can't stay here, Nobuyuki. I'm too free-
spirited, I guess." She laughed softly. "My father used to say that
the only thing that would keep me here is if I got too sick to leave."
Oh bitter irony.
She turned away. "I never promised you anything, Nobuyuki. I think
you're sweet, and kind, and I don't doubt that you mean well for me,
but..." She reached up and undid her topknot, letting her hair flow in
the wind, unbound. "People change, Nobuyuki. I'm not yours, Nobu-chan.
I'm mine."
She let go of her ribbon, letting the wind carry it away.
All that's missing was the old 'We can still be friends' line.
cave, but it flew past the iron gate that blocked further passage.
"Damn!" he spat as he kicked the gate.
The rusted iron padlock broke and the gate swung open.
Ah. Methinks Ryouko is going to become interested in someone else. ^_^
Nobuyuki snorted. "Come on, Nobuyuki,
The two uses of 'Nobuyuki' are too close together. I'd drop the second one.
there's no such thing as
demons,"
Alien space pirates, yes. Demons, no.
"What's going on here?" he said as he stood up and made his way
toward the central pool.
There was a figure lying in the pool; a figure that looked like
a mummy wearing a noh demon mask.
Nobuyuki: There's nothing to worry about. Having mummies wearing noh demon
masks is something every shrine has.
"Aha!" he cried. "If I pull this, maybe the rock will close!" He
pulled at the handle and felt a disturbing snap as it broke off from
the shrine. "Oh, crap!" he cried, staring at the handle in his hands.
"I'm in trouble now!" He forced the smaller rock's halves together and
tied them with a dry vine he ripped from the cave walls.
Like son, like father. ^_^
The larger
rock began to close, but he took no chances and ran out of the cave.
Shoulda thrown in some dynamite too. No sense it taking chances. ^_^
"Yeah, something you've never had a problem with, huh, Godai?"
Kobayashi said.
"Oh, shut up," Godai muttered.
heh. True, though
"I'll bet it's some other guy," Sakamoto said, nodding. "That's
usually the reason why girls give the 'I want to be free' speech.
Good ole's Sakamoto knows what the real deal is. ^_^
"Don't you have anything useful to say?" snapped Nobuyuki.
"Nope," Kobayashi snickered. "Isn't it a shame?"
"At any rate," Godai said, "you'll need your transcript from the
university if you're going to apply for that internship at NERV."
Now that should be fun
He put the papers back in his bag and lay down on the grass.
"Maybe work will help me forget her." He sighed. "Oh, what am I
saying? She said we'd still be seeing each other, didn't she? It's not
like we're never going to see each other again - I mean, she's
applying for NERV internship, too."
Ohh, that might get messy.
He stared up into the sky and watched two crows fly past. "Am I
being foolish, though? I mean, hanging on to hope like this?
yes
"What?! Why me? I set you free!"
She struck a pensive pose. "Well, that's true. After all, it's
not everyday someone shows up and single-handedly and unintentionally
disables all the wards on a sealed demon cave... But I think I'll
blast you anyway for being so pathetic."
Hmm. I don't think he can 'play' with her the way Tenchi eventually did.
"But--!"
"One..."
"BUT--!"
"Two... Gee, should I cut the count down to eight, just to speed
up the pace?"
Heh.
"SIX! Now, now, earth boy. Gasoline is highly flammable!"
Odd, she didn't know what gas was in the OVA's. At least she didn't when
she blew up the room, with the gas leak, that she was in
The girl continued toward the sound. "Whoo! Bang bang! A hundred
lives lost in a horrible train wreck!"
Heh. She does enjoy the cat and mouse game.
"All right! All right!" He

Katsuhito Masaki walked alone from his temple. His daughter had
left for the city rather hurriedly that afternoon, and with no one to
talk to he

decided to catch up with his exercise. Not that he wasn't
used to being alone,
You have two 'not's in the sentence. I'd reword that as 'He was used to
being alone,'
Lukewarm soup and bits of fish sausage shot out of Nobuyuki's
nose. "Wh-what?"
"Look, I need a place to stay until I find my battleship or find
a way to summon it. I can't very well go back to the cave, can I?"
"But--"
"I promise I won't be a burden. I'll rob a bank or something.
Hehehe. Her manner of logic is a fun thing to see in action.
OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE!
"Noooo!"
Terry Bogard's wail filled the night air. "All my power, all my
fighting ability, useless! All this strength, all this techniques, and
for what? Nothing! I can't protect anybody!"
He began to cry bishonen tears. He stared at Joe Higashi's limp
form in his arms. "If only... I could change things... I'd never let a
boyfriend die ever again!"
Hehehehe. How evil, even for an omake.
