Aku tau kalau Imlek sudah lewat, sekitar dua bulanan malah =.=a
tapi daripada cuma dua orang (Fang-senpai dan Pyro-senpai) yang mbaca, mending aku taruh aja disini * dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa karena seenaknya sendiri*

An Imlek Oneshot
Staring: Yin Long, Kikuchiyo/Chesster, and several OCs of mine





Fireworks flew up high into the Heaven, illuminating the night sky with brilliant multicolored fire. Music and laughter resonate through all street corner of the red-colored town. Citizens, dressed in traditional red clothing, came out from their home with their family to celebrate Chinese New Year. There were many dragon and lion dances that were performed all over the town. Family members offered hong bao to each others while others lit the fireworks to brighten the mood. Red lanterns illuminate the streets, and some even had riddles written on it. The joy and happiness can be clearly seen on the faces of the people.

However, on a mansion located not far from the town, a young boy didn't share the mood of the festival....

Sitting on a branch with his back resting on the cherry tree's trunk, Yin Long had decided to not participate at the festival. His purple-colored eyes scanned each and every words on the pages of classical poetry book. The book itself is pristine, with almost no smudges whatsoever, a sign that it haven't been touched for quite some time. Since he practically read all the book that his family owned, and that most other were practically banned, no thanks to the good emperor Qin Shi Huang, he were forced to read what could be describe as the most boring book that he ever read. His family done a pretty good job on smuggling, preserving, and hiding some book from pre-Qin era, but he cannot risked getting caught reading it. With no one to talked to, and no opponent for any kind of boardgames, Yin Long practically had nothing to do.

“I knew I would find you here.”

Yin Long looked at the source of the voice. Looking up from the ground is a woman clad in red. Different from other women of the era, her red dress is quite simple which made it useful and practical for traveling. Age doesn't diminished her natural beauty and for people outside the family, no one would expect that Yin Shuang is a mother of 3. “Is there any chance that you would come down from there ?” Yin Shuang asked her son despite already predicting his answer which is...

“No....”
Yin Long's short and straight answer didn't upset Yin Shuang. In fact, she even smiled about it. “Well then, I guess I just have to join you,” she said before she easily climb the tree and sat on a branch on the opposite side of Yin Long. Yin long can only sighed at his mother's antics before he asked, “Why are you here mother ? I though you were in the town with the other ? And how did you even know that I would be here in the first place ?”
Yin Shuang still smiling as she replied, “Well, how could I enjoy the festival while my youngest son sulking at a tree ? Beside, this cherry tree is your favorite hiding place, albeit a poor one.”
Yin Long pouted, “I did not sulk...”
“Really ? So you are not upset about being teased by your older brother ?”
Yin Long did not replied, confirming Yin Shuang's question. Yin Long and his older siblings didn't have a good relationship. In fact, they kept annoying each other almost every single day. Most of it were caused by Yin Long's antics, like how he deliberately changed his original name into Long, hanging out with commoners including some who were not quite...normal. While his older siblings learned from books and teachers, Yin Long preferred a direct approach by learning about it straight from the source. If he wanted to learn about archery, he went to a hunter. Geography ? Asked the locals. Economy ? Merchants, who else ? Heck, he even learned several unconventional tricks from either outlaws or the poor. While other aristocrat children prefer to hunt, composed a poetry, or sparring, Yin Long preferred fishing over all that. His father, Yin Zhi, supported his son's hobby and even joined him on a fishing trip if he had some spare time. Unfortunately, with the exception of Yin Zhi and Yin Shuang, all member of the family didn't think to highly of Yin Long especially his brothers. Most of that prejudice were caused by their jealousy of Yin Long's high intellect.

“Just because they lost a match in a game of weiqi doesn't mean that they can accused me of cheating,” Yin Long said.
“Is that the reason why you didn't go to the festival ?”
“....mostly...beside, why should I go there ? There's hardly anything for me to do at the festival.”
“You could make some friends. Maybe your brother would even apologize to you ! After all, new year is the time to reconcile and forget all past grudges.”
“It is unlikely that it will happened...what's the point of making friends anyway ?”

Both mother and son became silent. The distant sounds of the festival can be heard alongside the cricket's chirping. The moonlight shined upon the pair as breeze sway the leaves and smaller branches of the trees at the garden. “Jiao ge pengyou duo tiao lu, shu ge diren duo du qiang,” Yin Shuang said, “No matter what happened, it is always better to make friends than collecting enemies.”

Before Yin Long could said anything, Yin Shuang continued, “True that it is hard to make friends, but it worth the effort ! You may can't see it now, but friends could help you on the future ! Beside, it is every parent's greatest joy to see their children getting along with each other.”
Yin Long thought about it for a while. He knew that his mother were right, but it's not so easy to put into practice. “I don't think that it would be as easy as it sound,” Yin Long said, but Yin Shuang quickly replied the purple-eyed boy, “Nothing in this world is easy ! The important part is that you must never give up, no matter what happened ! And when you succeed in establishing a friendship, that bond can never be broken.”

Yin Long ponder his mother's advice, before he closed his poetry book...not that he was reading it anyway. “I guess you are right...fine, I'll go to the festival with you,” Yin long said, which caused Yin Shuang to beam with happiness. The mother and son jumped down from their respective branches and pulled a perfect landing on the ground. As they walked to their mansion's entrance they met Yin Zhi who was just arrived at the garden. The man grinned at his wife and son and said, “Ah, so I see that Long had decided to join the festival !”

“Of course !” Yin Shuang said as she embraced her youngest son, “Yin Long even said that he felt lonely without his older brother.”
“I never said that ! I didn't like him at all !” Yin Long said, flustered at his mother remark. Yin Zhi did a mock thinking pose as he said, “Well, there is one similarity between you and your brother...”
“And that is ?” Yin Long asked.
Yin Zhi grinned before he replied, “Both of you are in denial.”

Both husband and wife laughed as their son tried in vain to convince them otherwise. Eventually, Yin Long decided to give in as they went to the town for the new year celebration....

THUNK

A slight tremor shook the tree where Yin Long is. He was sitting on the branches with his back against the trunk of the cherry tree before he eventually fell asleep. 'So...it was a dream...' Yin long thought, referring to the flashback that he had just experiences. Even after more than a thousands years, his memory of his early life before he drank that elixir of life were as clear as if it happened yesterday. But those days is far behind him. All of his friends and family is gone, and his homeland is on the other side of the ocean. Yin Long also didn't bother to make any friend, and will try to avoid making any kind of bonds with other people. Because of the immortality caused by the Elixir, he will outlive anyone he met, and any kind of friendship he made usually ends with him sitting beside their deathbed to hear his aging friend's final wish. After several painful goodbyes, Yin long had decided that he will not go through that again. Now he is currently all alone in Japan, at the period of warring states where all feudal lord struggled for control over the land....

THUNK

...With an annoying spirit that kept following him no matter where he goes !!
Yin long looked bellow him to see Chesster kicking the tree where he is, and shouted, “What are you doing Ches-”

CRASH!!

Another kick caused the tree to be partially uprooted, making it tilt. The tilt and the shook made Yin long fell headfirst into the ground. He crashed near the base of the tree, with several broken bones. Three of which were a fatal wound that would kill him if he is not an immortal. This is one of the few situation where Yin long appreciated his immortality, in this case it save him from suffering a shameful and painful death. What did Chesster, or better known as Kikuchiyo, did after he nearly uprooted a tree and caused Yin long to fall ? He simply said, “Whoops~~”

Yin Long rubbed his neck after it was fully healed before he threw a death glare to Kikuchiyo. “What were you thinking you lunatic ?” He said, obviously ticked from the Jester's antics. “Well, I tried to wake you up by splashing you with cold water, but turns out splashing someone above the ground is quite a hard thing to do !” Kikuchiyo replied. There was a tense moment of silence between them before Yin Long said, “You could had shouted at me to woke me up.”
“...well, I could...but it would be less fun for me.”

Yin Long groaned. Kikuchiyo, or Chesster or whatever he called himself had followed him after he participate to looked for Dan, the elixir of life, with his brother. Before he sets off, Kikuchiyo briefly appeared to warned him about his plan to swapped the elixir with a regular wine if it were the real thing. After he gained immortality and losing his family not to long after that, Kikuchiyo appeared once again. And he had been following him ever since then, usually to annoyed the heck out of him. Yin Long already noticed that Kikuchiyo is not a mortal, but the title mystic doesn't fit him much. The only thing Kikuchiyo told Yin long about himself is that he is “the spirit of life”...which obviously doesn't help.

“What do you want anyway ?” Yin Long asked.
“I noticed that you had been avoiding the civilization for quite a while like, say, a decade ?”
“So ?”
“Does this have to do with your 'living-forever' thing ?”
“If you already knew the answer then why do you ask ? What is the point of making a friend if they died before you ? Beside, who will want to be friend with a freak of nature like me ?”
“Hehehee~~ with that kind of attitude, you will be making more enemies than friends ! I bet if you keep this up for a few years, you will have enough enemies to make a wall bigger than the Great Wall !!”
Kikuchiyo's words reminded Yin Long of his mother's advice. For the past few years, Yin Long tried to learned the culture of the area he visited. And every time, someone became ticked due to his truthful and sometimes harsh comment. When he had to defend himself, someone quickly came for revenge, either the one he beaten or a friend of his opponent. In one amusing case, someone think that he is a malice and try to “exorcise” him...said person was beaten in one blow to both his body and his pride. The closest things he has for a friend is his snake familiar and, somewhat, Kikuchiyo.

“True you would live forever till who-knows-when, but that doesn't mean you should be all gloomy and plays 'Mr. lonely'! Life is an adventure ! And an adventure is even better if you experiences it with a friend ! Beside, you will always need a traveling companion,” Kikuchiyo stated.
Yin Long laughed for a moment before he asked, “What ? You wanted me to be your traveling companion ?”
“No~~....you are fun, but pulling a prank to you everyday would be boring...I prefer to annoyed you when you least expect it,” Kikuchiyo replied, earning a mock glare from Yin Long. He then extended his arms forward, creating a fireball between his hands as he said, “Beside, I'm here to celebrate a holiday since almost no one celebrate it here....”
“What holiday ?”
“What else ?” Kikuchiyo answered, before he threw the fireball skyward. After it reach a certain height, it blew up into a multicolored explosion similar to that of a fireworks as Kikuchiyo added, “Chinese New Year !”

Kikuchiyo threw several fireballs and some other elements like lightning, water, and even light. The water formed into ice crystals, reflecting the light from the lightning, fire, and light. The resulting effect can only be describe as an “aurora fireworks”. Yin Long is quite amazed at the displayed, and he said to Kikuchiyo with a smile, “You just wanted to show off !”
“Oh really ?” Kikuchiyo said between throws, “Then show me what you got ! But make sure you aim UP ! I don't wanted you to blast me to oblivion, thank you”

Yin Long shook his head, before he clapped his hands and extended it at an opposite direction of eacht other to summoned five waterballs around him. He raised his hands up, turning the fireballs into five water dragons. The water dragons danced around in the sky around Kikuchiyo's fireworks. Yin Long soon added five fire tigers to join in, essentially making his own version of “Dragon and Lion dance”.

– – –

Several villagers from the nearby village looked at the sky with wonder and amazement. Some were worried about the event, but most of them didn't think of it as a sign of bad omen.

“Ayame-chan ! Look !”

Ayame look at the direction that Ji pointed and see a strange yet magnificent show in the sky. “Heee~~ it's so pretty !!” Ja said as she and her brother looked at the “fireworks” with amazement. Ji and Ja both turned to Ayame. “Ne, ne, Ayame-chan ! How did that happened ?” Ji asked, and Ja quickly added, “Who made that ?”

Ayame giggled, before she replied, “I don't know, but I do know that it is a magnificent sight...”

Despite having more question, the Aizen twins decided to just enjoy the view together with their mother figure....

– – –

[Oi Yuuki, look at that!]

Yuuki turned around and look into the sky. He was surprised to see water dragons and flame tigers moving in a rhythmic pattern around several “aurora” blast. “Are those...youkai ?”
[No, they are neither youkai nor a deity...they are more like an elemental spell rather than beast. Whoever responsible for that is definitely a person with powerful supernatural abilities...but they are just wasting their energy though.]
“Maybe you are right,” Yuuki said, before he smiled, “But the result are quite spectacular.”

The duo stopped their journey for a while to enjoy the night time view as the dragons and the tigers dance amongst the aurora.

– – –

Kikuchiyo stopped throwing anymore elements since most of them will last for a while before they disappeared. He looked at Yin Long and said, “What do you think ? You will never find a more spectacular fireworks festival like this !”
Yin Long laughed, “Fireworks are not the only thing at Chinese New Year though...but I have to admit, it is fun...”
“Glad to see that your mood have improves ! I bet you had forgotten to celebrate your country holiday before today !”
“I am...but it's pretty understandable since the world kept changing their calendar system.”

Kikuchiyo laughed for a while, before he asked, “By the way, Hong bao na li ? I need some money to buy Dango.”

Yin Long give Kikuchiyo a glare, before he draw his multi-sectioned spear and swung it at Kikuchiyo...

WHACK !!

“.....ouch....”

– The End – –

Nice fic! XP XP The fireworks scene is spectacular!

Jadi nama aslinya Yin Long nggak seperti sekarang, ya? One more mystery of ER....

Kikuchiyo itu spirit, toh? Dia juga bukan mortal? Ataukah ini hanya "alternate personality"? (habis katanya ada beberapa penokohan yang berbeda dengan ER...)

@ Mocca-senpai: Yin Long itu sebenarnya ya punya nama, tapi setelah beberapa saat dia seenaknya aja menggantinya namanya jadi Yin Long gitu~~

Terus untuk Kiku dkk....jujur aja, aku ngak pernah memikirkan mereka sebenarnya apa =.=a * dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa dihajar masa *

maksud saya soal penokohan yg berbeda itu bukan berarti chara yg bener-bener beda dgn yg sekarang, tetapi agak berbeda karena setelah mbuat aku agak merubah sifat mereka gitu biar lebih unik ^^
