AN: Random idea I had; which actually started as a picture idea. Poor, poor Kurow...

Maybe because of Hetalia and Russia, but I like to think that he can't take that scarf off. CB Which is why when Chibi pulls at it, he isn't happy.

Not sure where this would occur; it might not even be in the game world. In fact, it could be anywhere you imagine.

Enjoy, and have fun watching Kurow get tickled.

Kurow must've been exhausted, Chibi thought to himself, if he's sleeping this late. The sun had already reached midway in the sky, but the boy was still lying there, sleeping. It had been a bit of a long night; but especially for Kurow, who had to fly them both out here… where were they, anyway? But that wasn't what Chibi needed to worry about right now. It was how to get his friend up.

First Chibi went at the scarf. Kurow NEVER took that thing off; maybe it was special and he couldn't? Chibi sniffed at it, and Kurow twitched in his sleep. Ah ha! A reaction! Chibi put a paw on the end of it, and the boy's hand moved as if swatting something, but nothing else. So the pup decided to rev things up a bit, and actually pulled the end of the scarf a bit. However, Kurow swiped at him again, this time catching Chibi on the nose. The scarf would not be an option for waking Kurow up.

Therefore, Chibi decided to rest his head on Kurow while thinking up a plan. His still smarting nose nuzzled into the soft fabric of Kurow's shirt, right near the stomach. And he immediately got a reaction.

"Wha-? STOP! STOP! AHAHAHAHA, THAT TICKLES, STOP IT!" Kurow laughed. And laughed. And laughed. Chibi loved the sound, loved that Kurow seemed so happy all of a sudden, and nuzzled some more. "Ah… ha…. Please… boy… I'm begging you… stop… I can't… ha… breath from laughing…"

Chibi pulled away, and the now fully awake Kurow slowly pulled himself onto Chibi's back. "Your fur tickles, you know boy?" Kurow commented, resting on Chibi's fur. He didn't move to sit up, though; probably from the exhaustion A) from the night before and B) from Chibi tickling him. Chibi apparently didn't care, and he raced off somewhere, which Kurow hadn't wanted to go last night. After all, who knew what adventure awaited there?

Foot lengths before the entrance (It appeared to be a cave), Kurow jerked up straight on Chibi and pulled him to a halt. "No, boy! I mean, like, there could be anything in there; we don't want to run into anything bad, do we, dude?"

Chibi really wanted to go in. He HAD to go in. But Kurow wouldn't let him. So he did the only thing he could think of. He flipped Kurow off his back and nuzzled at his stomach. "AHHHHHHH! HAHAHA! OKAY! AHAHA! I GIVE – HAHAHA – IN! AHAHAHA!"

Chibi then pulled Kurow's somewhat limp and still laughing form onto his back again and charged into the cave.

Chibi might not have known it then, but he had discovered something that could force Kurow to do whatever Chibi wanted him to do.

And that was tickle torture.
