Fabulously Late

[Papillon Mask]

Pushing himself off the hospital bed, Papillon looked around. He was alone in the hospital room, and saw his butterfly outfit in a chair next to him. Looking down at himself, he found he was wearing a hospital robe over his speedo. "Oh my, someone was bad while I was asleep. They just had to see my fabulous body no doubt."

He shrugged off the robe, and put back on his outfit. He saw his mask on a table nearby as well, and seethed with anger. "They took off my mask too! I'll slaughter them!"

Putting it back on, he gave a little twirl. "Ah, now that's better. Pa-Pi-ON!"

With that, he set off down the empty hospital corridors to see what kind of fun he could find.

[Nekozawa]

Nekozawa sighed as he put on his dark robe and wig and walked out of the hospital room he had been staying in because of his most recent case of sun exposure.

"Hmm...I wonder if I can use a curse to blot out the sun?~"

Beelzenef shook his head no.

"Well...you are right Beelzenef...if I did that then Kirimi's precious roses would all die. I can't have that now can I? That's certainly NOT the qualities of a princely big brother."

Nekozawa looked around him and noticed the hallways were empty. "Well this is...odd. It's like Silent Hill or something. I'm expecting a nurse with a machete to come jump at me out of the shadows."

Nekozawa noticed movement out of the corner of his eye and turned to look behind him. There, almost prancing down the hallway, was a man that didn't look to be that much older than himself. But the oddest thing about him was the outfit that he was wearing.

"What in God's name is that man wearing?!" He thought to himself as he shuddered. "And is he wearing...a butterfly mask? Well I suppose I can't exactly judge..." Nekozawa looked at his own wardrobe and then to Beelzenef before watching the man disappear around a corner.

"He's the only person I've seen in this place. I'd better go after him...maybe he knows where the exit is?" Nekozawa mumbled to himself before dashing after the strange young man.

[Papillon Mask]

As he glided his way down the hallway, Papillon thought he heard footsteps rapidly approaching him. Turning around he saw a young man about his age - Well, in human years at any rate. - running up towards him. He noticed the boy had a cat puppet on one arm, and that his entire body was shrouded in a black cloak. All he could see of the boy was his black hair spilling out over his face.

Tilting his head and looking him over, Papillon clicked his tongue and waggled his finger. "No no, that outfit will never do. You need to put a LOT more thought into it. Who taught you how to accesorize anyway?" he said, with a quick twirl and raising of his left leg.

While his leg was raised, he whirled around and pointed his foot at a wall to the left of the young man. "And I know you're there, so you may as well come out."

[Leeron]

"Oh you say that so roughly."

Leeron steps out from behind the wall with his hands on his hips.

"I was just observing the two of you enjoying each others...company."

Waving his arms as he walks towards Papillion he sticks his hand out and puts it on Papillion's cheek.

"My my your face is pretty." he said winking.

He turned toward Nekozawa "Oooh now you look just like a pretty little prince!" He said squeezing Nekozawa's cheeks.

"I may not be a doctor, but if you boys want a physical I'd be happy to abide" He says seductively leaning onto Papillion stroking his butterfly mask.

[Nekozawa]

Nekozawa frowned at the man in the butterfly mask. "I don't dress this way out of fasion...although I do like the black cloak!~"

He grinned with the last statement before jumping when another very effeminite man appeared near him.

"My my your face is pretty." The man said winking.

Nekozawa blinked. "Okay...now that's just creepy. At least he's not in a nurse's outfit I suppose." He thought to himself as the newcomer leaned on the guy with the butterfly mask.

"Uh..." Nekozawa blinked. "I dress this way for my health."

"That guy in the mask does not look too happy..." Nekozawa cringed and wondered what fate had in store for the effeminite man that had joined them. "Fate can indeed be a cruel mistress...but I wonder if we were all destined to meet here. Usually this place is swarming with people. For it to be this quiet is...very odd."

[Papillon Mask]

Papillon cringed and hissed, jumping back away from the wierd man, pointing at him in a rage. "DON'T EVER TOUCH MY MASK! NOBODY CAN TOUCH THIS MASK, NOT EVEN THE ONE I ALLOW TO CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME!"

With that, he had a revelation. "Hmm...where is Muto anyway? Where is THIS for that matter." Looking the two men with him over, he sighed. "I suppose you two will have to do. But believe me when I say this - if you cross me, I will kill you both." he said, his eyes getting muddy with rage.

Then, he smiled affectionately again. "It's too bad I don't have anymore of my glorious suits for you to borrow. Then we could at least travel in style."

Striking another pose with one hand on his hip, he exclaimed. "While we are together you may as well know my name. It's Papillon, but when you pronounce it, be sure to pour tons of love into it. Like this - Pa-Pi-ON!" he said, letting out a sigh.

[Leeron]

Papillion said in a rage knocking leeron back.
"DON'T EVER TOUCH MY MASK! NOBODY CAN TOUCH THIS MASK, NOT EVEN THE ONE I ALLOW TO CALL ME BY MY REAL NAME!"

Leeron stuck his bottom lip out and put his finger in his mouth "I'm sorry darling. I promise to never touch your mask again. There are many other places on you."

After Papillion had his revelation Leeron knew that he had been drafted into another group. But he was alright with it, this time he was with two cute men and they were both of age it seemed.

"Well I don't mind going with you two. Pa-pi-on"

He turned towards Nekozawa "And what is your name? You two can call me Leeron, or sweetie. Whichever you prefer."

[Nekozawa]

"He definitely acts like Mori-senpai or Hunny-senpai on a bad day. But...what is this strange energy coming off of him? Interesting... Nekozawa thought to himself as the man in the mask exploaded in a fit of anger yelling something about his mask and true name.

"My name is Umehito Nekozawa. But you can call me Nekozawa. And this..." Nekozawa pointed to Beelzenef. "Is Beelzenef. Where exactly are we going to be traveling? You'll find there's many things to do here but no way to contact anyone from where you came from. Or at least..."

Nekozawa's shoulders slumped and he frowned as he cast his eyes to the ground. "At least that's what's happened to me."

[Papillon Mask]

"Ah so...this really is someplace completely different. Well, that is a problem."

Looking around, he saw they had many floors down to go to get out of the hospital. Not thinking a thing about it, he reached into his crotch and pulled out his Buso Renkin, and pointed it at the wall next to him. "Buso Renkin! Near Death Happiness!"

Instantly, the black gun-powder wings formed on his back. He put his hand forward again and formed a butterfly bomb, blowing a hole in the wall. He floated out of it before he noticed nobody was following him.

He turned around to face them. "Well, come on. What's taking so long?"

[Leeron]

Leeron gazed at the small cat puppet on Nekozawa's hand. He wasn't much for toys but could get into it. "Nice to meet you Nekozawa, and Beelzenef" Stroking Beelzenef's chin.

Leeron watched Papillion reach into his crotch and he smiled gracefully "Need some help?" but Papillion had already pulled something out and blasted a hole into the wall.

Papillion
"Well, come on. What's taking so long?"

Leeron peered through the hole looking down at the street. He yelled to Papillion "I don't have any special way to get down, Do you think I can ride on you?" Leeron smirked.

[Nekozawa]

He froze when Leeron stroked his chin. Suddenly Leeron turned towards the other man and Nekozawa's eyes widened when he noticed what Papillon was doing. "What the hell is he doi..."

Nekozawa flinched at the explosion created by Papillon.

"Is that some sort of curse? No...he said 'Buso Renkin.' Now where have I heard that before?" Nekozawa thought to himself.

He heard Papillon yell something about why they weren't following him.

"I may be able to cast curses Papillon-san but I cannot fly. I'm afraid that's out of my repetoire..." Nekozawa grimaced at the bright sunlight coming through the now gaping hole in the wall and glanced at the two men before sighing.

"Why do I have a feeling I'm being drug into something I don't want to do?"

[Papillon Mask]

Papillon glared at Leeron. "NO YOU CANNOT RIDE ME! I'M NOT A MULE FOR YOU TO RIDE!" he said, remembering the time Muto had rode his leg while he flew, nearly causing it to rip off. He shuddered though, thinking of what else "ride" could mean in Leeron's mouth.

He sighed. "Fine, I guess I have to do everything." he said, floating to the ground. He then commanded his wings to form a bridge down to the ground, leading up to the hole in the wall. "There, walk down and hurry it up, would you?"

[Leeron]

Leeron looked down at the bridge testing it with his foot before stepping onto it. He wondered for a second Papillion didn't make it a staircase. "Oh well" He shouted before hopping onto the very strangely angled bridge to the ground and sliding down landing safely on his feet.

He looked back up at Nekozawa and shouted "C'mon its fun!"

[Nekozawa]

Nekozawa sighed again and cringed in the sunlight.

"I'd better do this fast before the sunlight affects me. If my cloak blows off I'm finished."

Nekozawa hopped onto the bridge and slid down it like a playground slide.

Attempting to balance himself as the bridge disappeared, Nekozawa dusted off his cloak and readjusted his dark wig.

"Now...thank you for help in getting out of that hospital but I'm afraid my condition requires me to be in much darker places than out here in the bright summer sun. If you'll excuse me Leeron-san...Papillon-san..."

As Nekozawa turned to leave he heard Papillon tisk behind him. Nekozawa sighed and turned around as he leaned against the brick wall behind him and hid in the shadows from the sun.

[Papillon Mask]

Papillon tsked and waggled his finger as Nekozawa tried to leave. He walked up and leaned up close to him, smirking evilly. "You are going nowhere my dear friend. You see, I might have need of you." He eyed Leeron as he said that. "It's your job to keep him as far away from me as possible. Got it? Good."

He walked away after giving Nekozawa a look that clearly said And if you fail, I WILL kill you. He pointed outward toward a town. "Now, this looks like a place to find some more appropriate traveling outfits for you. Let's go men."
