It was all Keiko's fault.
Actually, it was her little gold frog that started it.
Although if Hakuba wanted to completely honest, it was probably his fault for having Aoko, Koizumi and Kuroba over to watch 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Even if everyone did have a lot of fun watching Johnny Depp sashay around as Captain Jack Sparrow.
But he never would have predicted that such an innocent gesture would have resulted in the Great Pirates Versus Ninja Debate.
During College Exam season no less. Everyone's tempers were high, most of the graduating students stressing over test scores and general exam anxiety.
Which meant that Keiko really should have thought twice about setting such an obvious target up in plain sight.
And then talking about it. Loudly. In class.
Bringing it to the attention to both Koizumi and Kuroba. Who eyed it, then eyed each other in a manner that bode no good for anyone.
Rules were quickly brought forth. No battling during class or exam times. No battling off campus. No permanent damage, structural, physical or otherwise. Mental damage was to be expected.
Most importantly: No Getting Caught.
Koizumi was the head of the Pirates, somehow finding a real cutlass that she brandished with unholy joyful glee. Hakuba found himself as her second in command, having been long used to watching for prank sneak attacks. Didn't mean that it always worked, but he was more likely to see a trap coming than any of their classmates.
Logically then, Kuroba was the head of the Ninjas. His acrobatic and magician abilities lent themselves perfectly to this task. Less logically, Aoko was his second in command, running around in dark clothing with a Naginata, or Japanese style spear. Which she excelled at, as many surprised victims could attest to.
Loyalties were quickly drawn, the majority of the men in the class falling over to Koizumi's side, mostly due to the magnetism she drew forth, the girls fighting alongside Kuroba. Females just seemed to be more naturally inclined towards the sneaky stuff anyway, Hakuba had privately, silently, noted.
And then there were the Attack Ninja Monkeys. Nobody was quite sure where or how they appeared, but they seemed to follow Aoko's exclusive command. Thankfully, they did not throw poo.
The Pirates countered with the Flying Attack Shark. The less said about that, the better.
And in between it all, Keiko's little gold frog switched hands on a near hourly basis. The gold had started to wear off after a few days, turning it a strange mottled silver-gold. The frog seemed cheerful enough at the change however. It became a point of honour - who had the frog.
Of course, as these things tended to do, it spilled out of their classroom of 3B and into the other graduating classes, pretty much everyone in the senior class getting involved in it somehow. Even if someone was declared neutral, it was a pretty safe bet that they were in on it, even if was to point, or not point, where one of the rival factions had gone.
One of the unexpected sides to this was a noticeable lack of tension around the seniors. No one was threatening to throw themselves out of the nearest window, hang themselves in the janitor's closet or threatening suicide by eating the cafeteria jell-o because they had a working distraction.
They dressed up in funny clothing that seemed to materialize when someone wanted it, grabbed a foam weapon or confetti egg and took off after the nearest opponent. It was amazing how a little bit of the right kind of crazy physical exertion worked as stress relief. One girl even showed up with a padded foam frying pan.
Which brought him to his current situation. The four of them, Koizumi, Kuroba, Aoko and himself usually kept their battles between themselves. After all, between the two magic users and his and Aoko's fighting skills, they were playing at a higher level than the rest of the students. Such as that one incident with the confusion between 'remove' the plank and 'release' the plank, resulting in an extreme acrobatic show from Kuroba. Hakuba still swore that Kuroba had somehow orchestrated that one just for a chance to walk the plank.
For another thing, their weaponry was real and so were the smoke bombs.
Such as the one he had deflected back towards Kuroba after the ninja at tossed it at him. It struck Kuroba spot on, resulting in a quick ten-minute nap for the magician. Hakuba knew the duration of the sleep bombs very well, having been subjected to them on numerous times by now. Some of the other students had as well, but only the ones that looked half dead and needed the sleep anyway. Although he disapproved of the use, the classmates generally did look better after a quick nap.
Which he was currently privately hoping, Kuroba would be in as fair of moods once he woke as well.
Koizumi was looking down at the sprawled slumbering Ninja captain in amazement. "You got him."
He nodded. Out of sheer damn luck.
Koizumi -grinned-.
Hakuba gave a small mental thanks to the lucky gods above that Kuroba had at least the good sense to take a nap partly sprawled out over one of the desks. He crouched down and pulled the smaller body over his shoulders in a classic fireman's carry and rose with only a little difficulty. "Well." He deadpanned, turning to walk out of classroom, Kuroba slung over his back. "I got -my- booty."
"What?" The red-head screeched. "Wait! Hold on! We're Pirates! Booty gets divided up evenly!"
"Speak for yourself." He smirked. "I never said I was a pirate. I'm a Privateer, lass! Pardoned by the Queen, one of the good guys and all that. Ta!"
She squeaked, one foot coming down in outrage. Hakuba hastily made his exit, Kuroba still slung over his shoulders like some sort of strange snoring coat. It was one thing to bait her, but he certainly wanted Kuroba awake to counter any rage/revenge put forth by the Pirate Queen. Hell, Kuroba OWED him after this one.
And to top it off, the little gold frog was hanging from a string around Kuroba's wrist.
This was all Keiko's fault.

"Speak for yourself." He smirked. "I never said I was a pirate. I'm a Privateer, lass! Pardoned by the Queen, one of the good guys and all that. Ta!"
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE! GLOMPS FOR ICKA! *proceeds to execute glompage* Warm fuzzies! XD!

Admit it, Hakuba, you just want Kaitou all for your self.
Man, I want to draw Pirate!Hakuba and Ninja!Kuroba now... but don't have enough images of them to do it right... Bleh >.

Date: 2005-02-13 03:44 am (UTC)Sudden vision of Hakuba dressed up like Johnny Depp and not particularly pleased about it.
Less logically, Aoko was his second in command, running around in dark clothing with a Naginata, or Japanese style spear. Which she excelled at, as many surprised victims could attest to.
I don't know why they're so surprised. What's a mop but a naginata with floppy blades? Preferably wet floppy blades for that extra *swoosh*.

Date: 2005-02-13 05:17 am (UTC)*blinks* well that was different. Trust Hakuba to make off with Kuroba and as to being a privateer what else would he be? But I really like the idea of him dress like Jack Sparrow, that's Captian Jack Sparrow to you.
er---- why do I know have visions of Captian Jack O'Neill instead slinging a sleeping archeologist over his shoulder? before his knees give out? Damn you ICKA!!!!

*feeds the bunny*
Well, what else could Pandora be, except an alien-experimented-on bit of naquaddah? For use in an ancient, long-buried sarcophagus in Japan? That Black Org (or whoever they be) has found?
And O'Neill and Kaito would do horrible horrible things to the Tok'ra. Because O'Neill and Duo did it first. (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1792282/1/) XDDD

Nah, I'm just good at coming up with semi-plausible explanations for random things (better known as "b.s.ing" ;D).
So now there are actual reasons for Kid to show up in Colorado... *uses the puppy-dog eyes of DOOM on Po`e and sends the bunny in the direction of the people who can write*
Enjoy...

SG-1 shows up in Japan after finding remains of a Sarcophous or Gao'uld presence.
After all, there has to be a basis for all those large monster movies, ne? ^_________________^
