Kimagure Orange Road Fan-fiction Indecisive Comparisons by krim@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu ( Karl "KAL" Rim) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Narra: Sometimes I wonder what is going on in Ayukawa's head. Ayu: Kasuga-kun, what are you doing? You're supposed to be concentrating on your problem set. Kas: Uh, sorry. Ayu: Just get back to studying. Narra: To be so near Ayukawa like this, sometimes I just lose my head. Kas: Whoops! [ He was leaning so close he accidently slipped on his chair and crashed into Madoka ] Ayu: Careful! [ The two collide and bump their heads ] Kas: Oww!! Narrat: I feel weird. Kas: You fool! Be more careful! Narrat: Did I say that?! Oh no, Ayukawa is going to kill me for that! Ayu: Kasuga! I..I'm sorry. I'll be more careful. [ bows her head in shame ] Kas: Good. Narrat: What's going on?! I can't stop myself! Kas: We better get back to studying. We've wasted enough time. Ayu: Yes Kasuga. [ a little while later ] Ayu: Um, say Kasuga, did you do problem 7? Kas: Of course I did. Narrat: What? Did I really? The calcualtions are here, I really did them! Ayu: Could you please explain them to me? I'm kind of lost. Kas: Here let me see. [ grabs her notebook ] This is the problem, you did number 5 incorrectly. Problem 7 is a continuation of it. Ayu: Oh yeah, that's right. Hahahaha. [ rubbing the back of her head ] Narrat: Ayukawa is acting strange! We're both acting different! What could have happened?! [ The clocks strikes 6pm ] Ayu: What time is it? Oh no! I was supposed to meet Hikaru-chan 15 minutes ago! eh? [ Kasuga stands up angrily and starts packing his things. ] Kas: If you want to go play with Hikaru then go. Maybe I'll have better luck studying by myself. Narrat: What am I doing?! Ayu: K..K..Kasuga... Narrat: I can't stop myself! I'm walking out on Ayukawa! * * * Hikaru: Madoka-san! Ayu: Hikaru-chan! Hikaru: Are you ready to go shopping? Ayu: I guess so. Hikaru: Madoka-san, is anything the matter? Ayu: N..no. Hikaru: You just seem different. Ayu: What could be the problem, I'm with you, Hikaru-chan. Hikaru: Lucky! I want to buy something nice for Darling too! Ayu: Of course Hikaru-chan. * * * Narrat: I'm still not sure what's going on. Kas: I'm home. Manami: Brother! Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have dinner ready yet, I just had so much to do today... Kurumi: I'm hungry! Kas: Kurumi-chan, please wait a little, your sister is very busy doing housework. K & M: Ehh?! Kurumi: Does Brother seem different to you? Narrat: Ulp! It's not just me. My family notices it too. Kas: Manami-chan, while you finish doing the wash, I'll start dinner. Let's have curry. Kurumi-chan, since you're not too busy I want you to tidy up the living room before Father comes home. Kurumi: But, I wanted to watch the show! Kas: Kurumi-chan! Every member of the household has to do their share. Kurumi: Y..Yes. Narrat: I don't believe it! They're listening to me! Manami: Brother is acting weird! Kas: Let's see, first chop the vegetables... Narrat: I'm cooking! I'm actually cooking! But I can barely even make ramen noodles. * * * Hikaru: Madoka-san, what's taking so long? Ayu: Well, this skirt looks really cute, but it's too short. This dress is pretty but it's so expensive... Hikaru: Wow, I never seen Madoka-san so indecisive with clothes before. Ayu: I've got to choose! Hikaru: Madoka-san, just wait here, I'm going to go buy a present for Darling! Ayu: .... I'll take the skirt! * * * Narrat: It's a school day. For the first time I feel prepared. All my homework is done. I even woke up early and started breakfast for my family. The more I think about it, something strange has happened to me. But I just can't stop it. Kas: Wake up you two! You're going to be late for school! Manami: Brother is actually waking US up? Kurumi: Yawn! Narrat: As I walk to the school building, everything seems somehow different. Kas: Good morning sensei. Sensei: Kasuga?! You're actually on time? Madoka: Uh Kasuga! Good morning! Narrat: It's Ayukawa, and she's wearing.. makeup?! She looks beautiful! I could just... Kas: Hmf! [ he closes his eyes and turns away and walks on ] Madoka: .... Narrat: What am I doing?! I can't stop myself! Please forgive me Ayukawa Komatsu: Hey, Kasuga! Did you do the homework? Can I copy it?! Hatta: Me too! Kas: No. Copying isn't allowed. Get back to your seat before the teacher comes. Komatsu: Kasuga, what's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly have this honest attitude? Hatta: Maybe he's trying to impress a girl! Komatsu: Ooh, Kasuga! Another one?! Who is she? Kas: I said: SIT DOWN and be quiet. [ Kasuga gives them a very icy stare ] Narrat: I'm actually standing up to these two class trouble-makers?! Maybe it isn't so bad after all. What, what's that? Ayukawa is waving at me?! Ayu: Kasuga! Um... Kas: You better be quiet, the teacher is coming in now. Narrat: Even when break time came, I did my best to avoid Ayukawa. Hikaru: Darling! Kas: Hikaru, how are you today? Hikaru: Eh, Darling aren't you happy to see me? Kas: Of couse I am. Hikaru: Mmm! [ stares at Kasuga's face ] Kas: Hikaru, what are you doing? Hikaru: Darling is acting weird too! Narrat: "too"?! Hikaru: Darling isn't acting normal! Just like Madoka-san. If Darling is sick, Hikaru-chan will nurse you back to health! Narrat: That's it! I'm acting like Ayukawa, and Ayukawa is acting like... me?! Wait, that time when we bumped heads... We must have switched personalities! Kas: Hikaru, I have to go. Hikaru: Darling?! Narrat: Hold on Ayukawa! I'm coming. But what am I going to do?! Yas: Kasuga! Kas: Yuk-kun. Yas: Don't call me that! What did you do to Madoka-san?! Narrat: Oh no! Something happened to Ayukawa? Kas: What about Ayukawa-kun. Yas: Why you! Do you want to die? Don't play dumb with me. When I saw Madoka-san, all she said was your name and then looked like she was going to cry! Narrat: Ayukawa! Kas: I see. I'll go and talk with her. Yas: You jerk! If you hurt her... Kas: Yusaku! Let me go..now. [ gives him a cold look ] Yas: .... Narrat: And he just let me go! Only Ayukawa could do that! Kas: Ayukawa-kun. Ayu: Kasuga! I uhh... Narrat: There was so much I wanted to say but I just couldn't. Teacher: Students, return to your seats. Narrat: And then the teacher recalled class. I didn't have any chance. * * * Ayu: Whoops! [ some dishes break ] Master: Madoka-kun, are you alright? That's the third dish you broke today. Ayu: Hahahaha [ rubbing the back of her head again ] Sorry Master. Master: Is anything the matter? Ayu: No..no Master. Master: Why don't you take a break. Do you want coffee or tea? Ayu: Well, um... coffee no.. tea.. no... * * * Narrat: I lost track of Ayukawa after school. I just had this urge to go to the library and study. It's pretty late now. I hope I can get back home in time to help Manami-chan prepare dinner. Ayu: Kasuga! Narrat: Ayukawa! Ulp! Ayukawa is wearing a short mini-skirt and garter belt. I never knew Ayukawa could look so sexy! But it just doesn't seem right. This isn't the Ayukawa I know. Ayu: I was just wondering if you weren't too busy. Um, uh, maybe we could go see that new movie? Kas: I don't think so. Shouldn't you be doing your homework? Narrat: No! I can't stop myself! It's not fair! Ayu: Well... Kas: I have to go home. [ coldly] Why don't you ask Hikaru? Ayu: ... Kasuga.. Kas: Goodbye [ turns and leaves ] Narrat: Ayukawa, is this how much I hurt you with Hikaru-chan? Voice: Kyaaa! Narat: What, that's Ayukawa's voice! Punk1: Hey, why don't you come play with us? Punk2: Yeah, we'll watch you instead of a movie. Ayu: Please, leave me alone. P1&P2: Kas: What do you think you're doing?! Narrat: What am I doing?! Am I crazy?! Punk1: Huh? Kas: Let her go [ gives an icy Ayukawa stare ] Narrat: Wait! I have Ayukawa's courage! I can handle this by myself and save Ayukawa! Punk2: So you like to talk big, huh? [ he punches Kasuga in the mouth, he falls down ] Kas: Owwww. Narrat: That hurt! Oh no, just because I have Ayukawa's courage doesn't mean I have her spirit. Kas: Um, uh... Narrat: What, all of a sudden I'm scared! Punk1: Let's teach him a lesson too! Narrat: This is the end! Ayu: Leave him alone. Punk2: Huh? Punk1: It's the prize, she wants to play a little. [ Hentai grin ] Ayu: You perverts. I won't forgive you! [ cracks her knuckles ] [Next scene we see the punks lying unconscious on the ground ] Ayu: Are you okay, Kasuga-kun? Kas: Uh, yeah. Narrat: Again Ayukawa has to save me. I must seem like such a wimp. Ayu: Thank you. Kas: Huh? Ayu: It was very brave of you to try and help me. Kas: Ayukawa... Ayu: C'mon. Let's take you home. Oh, Kasuga-kun. Kas: Ayukawa? Ayu: I'm sorry if I ever lost my temper with you. Narrat: Although we have our original personalities back, I think I got to know Ayukawa a little more. How she thinks and how she feels. And I can't help but feel, in the same way she knows me a little better too. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= END This was a little something I whipped up in about 3 hours, so the story will be VERY rough. My brother and I were just joking over WHAT-IF scenarios and this was born. The style is meant to emulate the manga translations as best as possible, so the flow might seem a little broken up. This was meant on purpose, so please don't tell me about bad translation effects or incorrect grammar. (yeah, the spelling mistakes were also meant on purpose :-) Send me any comments, complaints, praises, flames etc. Who knows? Maybe if the response is good I'll write a longer more serious attempt on KOR. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Akane, I think you're cute...NOT!" | "Parody is Power.." - Rumic World, Party on!, X-cellent! | krim@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
