[TMM - Kokoro] Candid Camera

[sunrises]

Late birthday present for Vixi. I hope you like it. <3 The girl isn't supposed to be revealed until the end, but I think you guys will know who it is anyways, right?

Title: Candid Camera
Fandom: Tokyo Mew Mew - Kokoro
Summary: "When she's on sugar high, she tends to do extremely strange things..."
Disclaimer: The 'girl' isn't mine, but is someone else's OC. Kyr, Cerise/Callie, and most of the mages [last two are mention only] are mine. Satou is Satou's, Plum is Plum's, and Yoshino [all mention only] belongs to Tsu. Kokoro belongs to its members.

He was doomed. Horribly doomed, he realized, as soon as he saw that twinkle in her eyes.

"Kyr, let's play candid camera~"

He didn't quite know what to say to that. Choosing to have silence be his guide, he rubbed his temples.

Unfortunately, she dragged him by the arms, placing him (rather forcefully, now that he thought back on it) down on a nearby couch.

Kyr had to admit, though: most of the time, she was sane. Rather a little too cute for her age, but sane. But when she had sugar... hoo boy. It was all the angel gijinka could do to keep from breaking down. Lately, her sugar highs went something along like this: she would take the 'lucky victim person' to the couch, place a camera on a tripod, and they would have a merry game of Candid Camera. Some of the other mages, such as Shuu, actually found it to be really fun, as this sugar high girl would make this game more like a talk show.

He prefered to say that it was exasperating.

It was unfortunately too late, though - the camera was rolling; she was announcing the beginning of Candid Camera, 'the talk show where everyone is surprisingly open'.

Kyr slunk back in his chair, groaning softly as she spoke.

"And this is our guest of the day, Shirogane Kyr? What do you have to say to the audience today?"

"That I have no desire to be on here whatsoever?" The words escaped his mouth before he could really do anything about it.

She glanced over at him, then back to the camera. "And there you have it, folks! The truth from Shirogane-kun! Now, let me ask you a question..."

He groaned. "Shoot.."

"If you could be any animal, what would you be? If you could only have one CD, what would it be? If you could eat only one meal, what would it be?"

What was this, a super quiz on Kyr? He blinked, sitting up a little bit. "Erm... Heron, Black Mages II, and a meal of Desi cuisine."

She grinned. "If you could only be with one girl, who would she be?"

If looks could kill, one could bet that this girl was definitely pushing up daisies. Kyr sighed, crossing his arms. "No comment."

"Aww, but everyone wants to know.... who would it be?"

He looked down at the floor, watching his feet shuffle. It was true that everyone would give out their eyeteeth for this information, as he ended up with different girls over the courses of various dimensions.. But did she have to ask it now? It was a question that he knew that she would never ask unless she was under the effects of sugar... A twinkle appeared in his eyes as he got an idea.

"Wellllll," He began, managing a smile. "You do know the five girls who I end up with, right? One dimension, it's Kuroneko Satou. In others, they are Motomiya Mirei, Akasaka Yoshino, Aoyama Cerise, also known as Callie Roberts, and Shimizu Arisa, better known as Plum."

She nodded. "We know this. Can you please tell us..?"

He grinned. "Fine, fine. Well, these girls are all very nice people. Ceri-chan's sweet, though she does have quite a temper at times. Satou-san's a lot like Ceri-chan, but she tends to be a little too naive at times for my liking... let's see...."

"Can you just get to the point?"

His grin became even wider. "So.. I get to conclude my short analysis? The girl I'm going to end up with is---" Cutting himself off, he glanced over at her. A familiar wave had washed over her face, causing her to sink back in her chair. As soon as her eyes returned to their usual cheery glow, she gave the angel gijinka a weak smile.

"HUH? Kyr, what am I doing here?"

He sank back in his chair, letting a sigh of relief escape his lips. "We were just filming. Nothing to worry about."

She smiled. "Sugar high again, kyu?"

He nodded, rising from his chair. "Unfortunately. You ready to head out? Everyone's been asking about you."

Nodding in agreement, she too rose from her chair and took his hand, as a younger sister would take their elder brother's. "Yep. I missed everyone!"

Kyr couldn't help but smile. "Yeah... they missed you too, Vixi. They really did."

As they left, he could have sworn that she had replied under her breath, "Yep. Though.... kyu, I wish I knew who you really ended up with..."
