Liar, Liar, the Mage's Desire Vol. 1 (A New Oumeno)

Emotionally Detached (4)

      Sadness led Kokichi through the streets of the city, pointing out the different types of buildings. 

   "Over there is the Memory Bank where Himiko's memories are stored," Sadness said, pointing to a brick building. "And over there is the gas station."

   "Uhhh...I know I shouldn't be asking this because everything I've been looking at so far is really weird, but...what is a gas station doing in a brain?!" Kokichi asked.

   "Nyeh...it's not what you think it is," Sadness replied. "It's not like the gas station you're used to where cars are refueled. The gas station here is actually where brain farts are stored. They're stored here so that they can they hopefully be converted into brainstorms...something that Himiko doesn't often experience. Himiko has a lot of brain farts, but the technology here isn't advanced enough to change brain farts into brainstorms."

   "Interesting," Kokichi said thoughtfully. "Maybe I could help with that, too."

   "I'm not so sure," Sadness said. "That's something that Himiko should fix on her own. But to do that, she needs us."

   "Well, in order for you to help her, you need me," Kokichi said. The two smiled at each other until they came to a large house that was painted in different colors. On the roof was a large neon sign that said "Emotel" with a face next to it that changed emotions every few seconds. 

   "Well, here we are," Sadness said as she entered the house. "I'm sure Amorous is in her room, so if you want to get your scarf back, we can head up there."

   "Okie-dokie!" Kokichi replied. "Lead the way!" Sadness led Kokichi up a tall, beautiful, elegant spiral staircase that led to a hallway with doors on either side. Each door was color-coded according to the emotion to which each room belonged. "I'm sure you know which one is Amorous's," Sadness said to Kokichi. He immediately eyed the pink door on the left side of the hallway and went straight for it. Sadness grabbed his hand before he could open it, however. Kokichi gave her a puzzled look.

   "Um...two things you should take note of," Sadness explained. "First off, you know how you're the Ultimate Supreme Leader, Himiko is the Ultimate Mage, Tenko is the Ultimate Aikido Master, etc., etc.?"

   "Yeeaahhh..." Kokichi replied.

   "Well, if Amorous went to Hope's Peak Academy, she'd probably be the Ultimate Kokichi Fangirl," Sadness replied. Kokichi gave her a strange look, but a smile began to slowly spread across his face.

   "Okaaay, and the other thing?" he asked.

   "Well, since we're part of Himiko, it's no surprise that...we'll also do what you tell us to, within reason, of course, although Amorous seems to be the outlier. She'll do ANYTHING you say which is why my other sisters and I definitely have to monitor her when she's controlling Himiko," Sadness said. Kokichi raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he smiled with curiosity. 

   "Why...would you tell me that?" he asked. 

   "It's...just something to keep in mind," Sadness said, shrugging. "Anyways, let's go in." They entered Amorous's room, which was dark. Sadness flipped on the light which illuminated a large pink room filled with the most Kokichi-est things Kokichi had ever seen. The walls were filled with posters of boy bands, only all the band members were Kokichi. Some of the posters had Kokichi either fully-clothed or with his shirt off. Some posters were of Kokichi dressed as a clown and of him in his supreme leader garb. There were even pictures of him in famous paintings like The Mona Lisa, American Gothic, The Scream, and others. Amorous's carpet was pink and fluffy, but in the middle of it was a large picture of Kokichi's face. Her furniture had checkered patterns on them, and on her ceiling were a string of purple lights. There were Kokichi plushies sprawled all over her room and checkered beanbag chairs placed in the corner of her room. On Amorous's bed was a pillow in the shape of Kokichi's head, as well as a Kokichi body pillow placed next to it. Sitting on top of the bed's Kokichi comforter was Amorous herself as she eyed Kokichi flirtatiously, hugging Kokichi's scarf close to her chest. 

   "Do you want your scarf back?" Amorous asked in an almost Betty Boop-sounding voice. 

   "Yeees," Kokichi replied, holding his hand out expectantly. Amorous merely giggled and coyly  swayed her shoulders back and forth. 

   "Nyeh...come get it, then," she said as she backed further onto her bed. Before Kokichi could do anything, Sadness tugged on his sleeve and raised her eyebrows at him, silently reminding him what she mentioned earlier. Kokichi nodded his head, understanding what she meant. 

    "Amorous, give me my scarf," Kokichi ordered firmly. At this, Amorous made a squealing/half moaning sound full of pleasure as she squeezed Kokichi's scarf closer to her chest. She stood up from the bed and slowly made her way towards Kokichi. Instead of handing him the scarf, however, she began to tie it around his neck herself.

   "Your wish is my command, supreme leader, sir," she whispered seductively. When she finished tying his scarf, she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head against his chest, sighing blissfully. Then, she leaned her forehead against Kokichi's, her eyes locking right into his. Locked under her intense gaze, Kokichi felt his heart begin to beat faster. He felt his face getting hotter and closer to Amorous's, as if her face had its own gravitational pull. Right before Kokichi's lips could touch hers, Sadness gently broke them apart.

   "Um, Kokichi? You should meet everyone else," she said.

   "Hmm?" Kokichi asked, still in a daze. Then, he shook his head and came to. "Oh, oh! Yeah! Nee-heehee...you're right! Um...let's go." The two turned around to exit the room, but Amorous didn't follow. Instead, she just stood there, smiling amorously at Kokichi. Kokichi looked to Sadness for an explanation.

    "Nyeh...she won't come unless you tell her to," Sadness said with a shrug. 

    "Okay, then," Kokichi said. He held out his hand to Amorous. "Amorous, let's go." Amorous giggled rapturously and swooned as Kokichi's hand clasped around hers. Together, the three of them left Amorous's room to go meet the the others.
