Beauty and the SD ten-inched prince Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a prince named Tetsu. He was a very talented prince, not to mention rich (he owned thirty bass and ten custom guitars!). Even though he was rich, he was a very kind hearted guy, not proud, and he loved to entertain with his gorgeous bass playing. So, one day, an ugly witch came to his castle and required Prince Tetsu to play. "Salutes, my name is Sakura!" "Hello, Mr Sakura." Tetsu bowed politely. "I am Prince Tetsu." "I have travelled all over the country to search for a bassist which is worth of my attention," Sakura said smugly, swinging his drumset (however he does that, let's presume he's as strong as Hercules) over his head mockingly. "Sure," Prince Tetsu smiled ultra-politely, making Sakura more pissed than ever. So the ceremony for playing Prince Tetsu's basses began. The maids lined up in a straight row etc, and beautiful maidens and men danced to the beat of his bass, the melody making everyone happy. When Sakura saw this, he grew so jealous he turned Tetsu into a ten-inched SD form. "You shall never be able to play the bass again until a maiden comes over and falls in love with you!" Sakura laughed cruelly, knowing full well that no one would ever kiss an SD walking human. No one sane, that is.... *** In a particular village, lived a beautiful boy named Hyde. His long flowing brown hair and large beautiful eyes led everyone to believe that he was a beautiful girl. He was a very kind boy, well percieved by everyone who thought he was a girl. (so, to avoid everyone freaking out, he developed a "special" voice to speak in) One day, she met with a magician named Ken. Ken had an assistant named Yukihiro, and both of them fell in love with Hyde. So they started a persuing game of Hyde, and under certain circumstances (and due to the fact that Yukihiro did not learn his spells properly), Hyde was chased by a demon into the castle of Prince Tetsu's. Now, the castle of Prince Tetsu's looked like a wreck, since everyone was in 10 inched SD form and couldn't clean up properly. Lightning flashed and thunder sounded (ah, the perfect atmosphere) and poor Hyde could not help but run into the castle. He shut the door. "Hey, watch it!!" He heard a tiny voice, to see a 10 inched SD french doll. "What?! A talking doll?!" hyde gasped, turning around to run out again. "Hey! Not so fast!" another tiny voice sounded, and two little SD 10 inched people, one a pierrot and the other a magician, came running with a string and Hyde tripped over it. "Ow!" hyde cried, as he bammed into the floor. "What do you want? I have nothing to give you!" "Hey! It's a HE!" The little 10 inched SD dolls sounded really disappointed, when Hyde had forgotten to disguise his voice. Hyde could not help but wonder what has his gender got to do with their capturing him. "Maybe there's still hope," The little magician said, his hands clasped together. The pierrot patted the french doll's shoulder comfortingly. "Don't worry, Mana! Everything will be fine." Mana, the beautiful french doll, looked at Hyde unblinkingly. His manner was cold, but there was nothing malicious in his eyes. "What's your name, boy?" "I'm Hyde," Hyde explained his encounters to the little 10-inched SD figures, and they nodded symphatically. They took Hyde to the room and left him there, thinking that they'd better not tell Tetsu who was so depressed ever since ten years ago and no maiden came along. The room was large, and since it was late Hyde decided to stay there. There were wolves out there (In more than one way, you hentai!) and he was afraid that they would eat (in more than one way again) him up. Then he heard a loud voice, and some wailing. "I can't play my guitar!" Trying to see what the commotion was about, Hyde pressed his dainty ear to the wall, trying to make sense of what the tiny mumbles were. "It's no big deal, Prince!" It was the pierrot's (whose name was Kozi) voice. "I can't either!" "But... It's my life...." Some more loud weeping were heard. "Oh, that poor dude," Hyde thought, and walked towards the door. "I'll try to cheer the prince up." He got out of his room and stood outside of the room, and saw a tiny space which the door allowed. Obviously they were not large enough to open the door. "Can I come in?" He asked in his accustomed 'girl' voice. "Please do," Mana hurried towards him, looking up at him sadly. "Prince Tetsu has been depressed ever since he met evil Sakura!" "Hey, don't step on me!" A pink-haired cyber-monkey said, rushing over to the other side of the room. "That's a nice dress." Hyde turned and saw another monkey. He had to ask, "Are you monkeys?" "I am NOT a monkey! I am Ryuichi!" the monkey cried. "Lookie, banana!" the pink-haired laughed and threw a mini banana over. "Wai!" Ryuichi ran over to catch the banana. "What a cute monkey," Hyde laughed, and stepped in. "Who is Prince Tetsu?" "There he is, don't be shy!" The servants all ushered the tiny figure who was at the corner holding on to his guitars. "Come on, Prince Tetsu!" "Hi," Hyde smiled awkwardly, crossing his fingers and hoping the 'prince' would turn around. "Hi," A cute voice replied, as the figure huddled. He had beautiful fiery red hair, Hyde noticed. "I am Hyde. What's your name?" "... Te... te..." "Tetsu!" a huge vein popped up on a servant's head. "I... I.... I'm tetsu...." "Ah, that's a nice name," Hyde tried to make the atmosphere as natural as possible. "Can you turn around and show me how you look like?" The figure shook his head. "Come on," he pleaded. "....No... I... Don't dare..." "I'll bet that the reason that you don't dare is because you're the ugliest person alive!" Hyde tried another tactic. Tetsu started sobbing. "Aw, I don't mean it," He cooed. A headache was forming in his mind. "Maybe... I am..." "Come on, you're not! Turn around and let me prove." The SD figure turned shyly around. It was the cutest face Hyde had ever seen, with large shining eyes which seemed to take in all the light in the room and reflected them in his own unique brightness. "You're cute," Hyde said matter-of-factly, somewhat in a daze. Tetsu dared not look up at him, instead, he stared at the floor. "Come on, she's cute too!" Mana persuaded. Hyde blushed, and picked Tetsu up gently. "There, there's no need to be embarassed." Tetsu blushed a deeper shade of red. *** The little SD 10-inched Tetsu grew happier and happier each day with hyde's company. And all these while his servants were contented that they did not have to deal with his depression. They were also hoping that Tetsu would never find out that Hyde was a boy, they were just happy enough to see Tetsu so cheerful each day. And time went by. Hyde became Tetsu's best friend, and Tetsu became Hyde's best friend. They went walking in the woods together, Tetsu sitting in Hyde's arms, feeling contented. Until they met with a pack of snarling, hissing Yakshinis. "Run, Hyde!" Tetsu shouted, despite his current position. Hyde ran (of course), holding the SD 10-inched Tetsu in his arms protectively. Yet these Yakshinis were demonic, they caught up easily, and pushed Hyde to the ground, their teeths sharp in the light of the day. Hyde recoiled from their foul stench, their snapping jaws, their hungry eyes. "Hyde..." Tetsu cried. He remembered his own magician, Kami, who had given him the last magic left in his castle. He could only cast one spell, and so he let Hyde be protected by a sphere of magic. However, because the magic could only protect one person, Tetsu was thrown out into the jaws of the Yakshinis. Tetsu could only sigh Hyde's name, hoping that the latter was safe, before he was swallowed up whole. "Tetsu!" hyde, who loved Tetsu's smile so much, could not bear to see Tetsu eaten up like that. He cried and cried, "I wish there's a way to get Tetsu back....." "I can help you," an american girl with long blonde curls appeared right in front of him. "Who are you?" Hyde asked. "I'm your fairy god brother," The American said. 'her' voice was deep and pleasant, and Hyde felt that he could trust her. But just one question. "I thought that's from another fairy tale?" Hyde asked, looking Yoshiki up and down. "Baka!" Yoshiki whapped Hyde in the head with his fist. "If this fic drags on too long, Notepad will not have enough memory to deal with it! So go on and make your wish!" "Okay! Okay!" Hyde mumbled, and thought about his wishes. His current concern right then, however, was Tetsu's safety. "I wish that Tetsu's safe." "Sure he'll be," His fairy god brother replied. "One down, two to go." "I wish... I can get him back." *POOF!* The SD Tetsu appeared in the middle of the air, dripping with the juice from the Yakshini's stomach. "Yucks! I wish he's clean!" "The last wish!" Yoshiki laughed, and disappeared. The green goo disappeared into thin air and Tetsu was the clean shiny guy he was once again. "We're finally together again," Hyde said happily, taking him up to hug him with all his might. "Yeah...." tetsu said gratefully, then something clicked in his mind. "Hey, you used the last wish on the stupid thing! You could have wished that I was back into my original state...." "Oh, yeah!" Hyde cried, tears flowing down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry." "It's okay...." Tetsu mumbled grudgingly, then relented as he watched Hyde's beautiful face. "Thank you for being so kind, tetsu!" Hyde exclaimed, leaning down to kiss him. *POOF!* Tetsu became the beautiful prince he was once again. "yay!" Everyone turned back into their original form. And guess what our beautiful Hyde turned to...? * * * * * * * * The first bush they came to, hehehe... Couldn't be caught by Yakshinis again ^_~ As for Sakura, his spell was broken and HE turned into the 10-inched-SD figure! He didn't have to worry, since both Ken and Yuki had turned their attention to him and could kiss him as much as he wanted........ hehehe... END.
