Outtakes from After the battle

These are some moments from "After the battle" that didn't fit and hence had to be cancelled.

***************

Fanclub

"I guess I have to leave the fanclub now" I told Takeshi "No point of being a part of it any longer."

"So now that DouNagi is out of the question, is the club going to break apart?" he asked me.

"Oh, no. I was the only one there solely because of DouNagi, the others are really his fangirls" I corrected him "Did you see the audience during the match? Most of them were cheering for Dou. He has his own charm I guess. I may not be attracted to him, but I guess I'd cheer for him over anyone else for his adorableness too.

"Me too" Takeshi says.

Startled, I asked him, eyebrow raised "Is there something you're not telling me Otouto-chan."

Moving his hands in an attempt defend himself "I didn't mean it that way" he half yelled "I meant that if I was a girl….. or gay….. which I am not."

"I guess I believe you" I said with sarcasm laced in my voice. I know very well he isn't gay, but it is fun to tease him.

"You should" he said, ignoring my tone.

"I was just scared for a minute there" I told him "I thought that the Dou fanclub would be losing one Fujihara, but gaining another."

Hair color

"Do you remember what your hair looked like" Takeshi asked me, catching me by surprise. "It' been so long since I've seen your real hair color, I almost forgot what it looked like."

"If you forgot what my hair looks like, just take a walk around the compound, almost everyone in the clan has the same hair color" I told him.

"Don't you miss it though" he said "It was a hasty choice; dying your hair."

"Yeah, it was. I was just so mad at being compared to the other kids from the clan, I thought changing my hair color would make me different."

"That is a pretty logical reason to change the color of your hair, isn't it sis"

"Hey, if I miss my hair color that much, I can just look at yours. It's almost the same shade" I said "Plus, I'm so used to black and purple by now, it would be weird if I went back to brown. People would not recognize me anymore."

I'm Flippin' Awesome

"I'm not going to get into the path of my choice" I said with my left hand covering my face (considering the fact that my right arm was held in a sling).

"Don't worry chibi, you did awesome. You're ranking isn't even that low" he said. I knew he was lying about my ranking, but decided to play along anyways.

"You think I did awesome" I asked, looking up at him.

"Of course you did awesome" he said grinning "after all you are my chibi cousin, and I'm Flippin' Awesome."

"That you are, Otouto-chan, that you are" I said, shaking my head. He found another chance to show off his tattoo. "I still cannot believe you got that tattooed."

"I already knew I was awesome, the tattoo was just a stamp of approval." He said, but I still didn't understand his motive behind this.

"How did you even get the tattoo?" I asked him "I thought there was an age limit. You're not 18 yet and I'm sure your parents didn't sign an approval form."

"I look old enough to be an adult, I guess" Takeshi said "The tattoo guy didn't care much too. The age thing is more of a formality."

"Maybe I should get one" I said, thinking about what tattoo I should get.

"Okay, but I will have to go with you" He told me.

"Why" I asked him, confused.

"I didn't need adult supervision because I look old enough, you on the other hand……. are a chibi." He said grinning as my face started heating up from anger.

"I am going to kill you" I said in a demonic voice I did not know I had "You have an early death wish Otouto-chan."

"Oh, I'm so scared" he started waving his arms around; feign being scared "What are you going to do chibi, murder me with one arm" he pointed at my right arm, tied in a sling.

"This is not going to stay on forever you know."
