Boo!

Chapitre One

Candy

Wow, I'm um… Okay, so I wanted to get in the Halloween mood (I don't wear costumes so this should make up for it) and decided that hey, why don't I make an AU-ish story about TRC? Make Fai-Fai a witch, Sakura and Syaoran, well, whatever they want to be, and Kurogane as the witch person from Hansel and Gretel! … After eating too much candy… I think the sugar got to me… Hehe.

Disclaimer: I don't own Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. I wish I did but, meh, whatever.

Note: Watanuki and Yuuko-san are coming! Beware of the Time Witch and her trusty side-kick, Maid Boy! … Okay, I should really see a doctor…

Summary: It's almost Halloween and the TRC gang is stuck in Modern Japan for the time being! Candy costumes and scares galore! And what's this? Mistletoe for Halloween? Who will fall for it? Who will be lucky? Oh what a Halloween it will be…

Countdown! Five More Days 'Till Halloween!

It was morning; a chilly and cloudy morning and it seemed to have affected almost everyone's attitude.

Almost.

"Kuro-pii! Guess what?" Fai asked, up and at 'em in the morning.

Kurogane was the complete opposite.

As a Shinobi, he should be on his guard, his senses keen and aware of everything around him. But today was different. It was raining. Who knew dogs would be affected by the rain too?

"Guess what, guess what, guess what?" the mage repeated as he pounced on top of the grumpy and half-awake Kurogane. Kurogane blinked.

"… What?" Kurogane muttered as he glared at the chipper magician.

"It's almost Halloween!" Fai exclaimed, jumping into the air with a little cheer. Kurogane cocked an eyebrow.

"What the hell is a Halloween?" Fai's happy face dropped into a depressed one, the one with a cute little pout and watering cobalt eyes.

"Halloween! The day when you go around, get candy and give candy to other kids in costumes!" He jumped into the air again, sprinkling cone-shaped things that were yellow, orange and white. One of them landed near Kurogane's foot and he literally jumped up into the air. He's never seen stuff this freaky looking before.

"But it's for kids-!" Kurogane started but was cut off as a plastic spider was dropped on his head. Alarmed, Kurogane waved his arms around his head, trying to get the thing off. Fai giggled.

"Hee, Kuro-pan is afraid of spider, no?" he teased, giving him a questioning and mischievous look. Kurogane almost blushed at that statement.

"I-I'm not afraid of spiders!" Kurogane stuttered out his reply after turning his back on Fai. Fai shrugged.

"But it's fun! You get to dress up in costumes and stuff!" Kurogane rolled his eyes as he turned around to face a beaming Fai.

"Look teme, I don't care about some crappy kid's holiday. And I hate candy." Fai almost passed out at that statement, his face becoming whiter than it was.

"No way! You can't hate candy! It's like, the most vital thing a person needs! It's the building blocks of life! You can't- You can't hate it!" Fai yelled as he clung onto Kurogane's arm, almost on the edge of bursting into tears.

Building blocks of life- What the hell?

"Fai, I suggest you go see a doctor…" Kurogane muttered slowly as he pried off the whimpering mage off of his arm. Fai jumped on Kurogane again and held him tightly, squeezing the life out of the Shinobi.

Kurogane groaned.

"Help," he cried as Fai's grip on him tightened. On cue, Syaoran walked into the living room, a rather shocked expression written on his face. Kurogane turned his face to look at Syaoran and let out a growl.

"Well don't just stand there, get the bastard off of me!" Syaoran reacted quickly and laughed nervously as Fai kept shouting "I won't let go unless he eats candy!" Syaoran thought for a moment and retreated back into the kitchen. Kurogane's lower jaw dropped.

T-That kid! He-!

Syaoran appeared again with a bowl of candy, holding it before him.

"Fai-san, why don't you have candy instead?" he asked innocently. Fai took his eyes off of Kurogane's back momentarily to stare at Syaoran's bowl of candy. It took a while for him to detach himself from Kurogane, but once he did, he dashed toward the bowl and grabbed it from Syaoran, smiling to himself.

He took a Tootsie Roll Pop, ripped the wrapper off the lollipop and stuck the candy in his mouth. Fai grinned to himself happily as a dreamy look washed over his face. He peacefully continued to suck on the lollipop for the time being. Syaoran chuckled as he placed the bowl down on the floor. He looked up at Kurogane.

"Kurogane-san, why don't you like candy?" he asked, taking a Jolly Rancher for himself. Kurogane shrugged.

"Too sweet. Hurts my teeth."

… Tootsie Roll Pops? Jolly Ranchers? You must be wondering why they have them in the first place.

Let's rewind a bit, shall we? To about a day before today…

Yesterday

"Mokona Modoki ga doki-doki!" Mokona shouted as usually as he opened his mouth wide, swallowing the whole group. Sakura clung onto Syaoran as usual as they disappeared from their previous country.

Fai and Kurogane were floating around for a while before Fai started a conversation.

"Nee, Kuro-wanko-."

"Don't call me that."

"-Where do you think we're gonna go next?" Fai asked as he continued to concentrate on keeping up with Kurogane.

"Shut up, will you?" Kurogane snapped. He was in a bad mood since yesterday and the chattering of the mage wasn't making it any better.

With a blinding light, the group had reached their destination. Mokona was really hyper that time and started bouncing up and down on top of Sakura's head. Sakura laughed.

"Why are you so happy, Mokona?" she asked. Mokona pointed to a gate before them, smiling widely.

"That's where Yuuko lives!" Mokona chirped. Syaoran blinked.

"Yuuko-san? The Witch?"

Fai nodded. "Yes, the Time Witch. We should pay her a visit, no?"

---

"Kurogane!" a slender woman with sleek black hair and blazing ruby eyes barked, slapping the Shinobi on the head. "Where the hell was my present for White Day?" Kurogane glared at her.

"Like I give a shit about some holiday like that!" he snapped back, not taking his eyes off hers. Yuuko let out a growl.

"Hmph. Rude men you are. And I gave you those chocolates for Valentine's…" Yuuko let out a big sigh. "Oh well. I might as well house you for a few days…"

"Yuuko!" Mokona called out as he jumped into the Witch's arms. Yuuko's face brightened.

"Mokona! I'm so glad you're back!" She embraced the white bunny tightly. A black one hopped up to them, laughing.

Yuuko continued with her cuddling. "Oi, Watanuki-kun, get over here will you?" she called out.

A boy with short black hair and dull blue eyes appeared at the entrance, a colorful bandana tied over his head. Said boy wore a flowered apron with matching gloves.

"Ah, you called?" Watanuki asked. Yuuko nodded.

"I want you to get the four a room. And make us dinner, will you? Make sure you do it quick because we'll have a customer soon." Watanuki frowned.

"When will I get a break, Yuuko-san? I wanted to meet Himawari-chan today…" Yuuko sighed.

"Fine, fine, after you make dinner go meet with her, 'kay?"

… And so that was part of it. Yesterday, they had been forced into Modern Japan. They had to stay at Yuuko's house for the time being until they were allowed free.

Fai was still happily sucking on his candy as Kurogane twitched, his keen ears picking up every sound Fai made as he continued devouring the lollipop.

"Damn it…" he cursed under his breath as Fai bit down on the hard shell of candy. Fai smiled contently.

"Hyuu," Fai whistled as he popped the candy out of his mouth. "I think this candy is really making me hyper…"

Not to mention annoying, Kurogane thought bitterly as he continued shooting daggers at the overly-happy mage.

"No glaring at people, Kurogane!" Yuuko yelled out of no where, dressed in a long-sleeved plain white sweater with a black leather jacket above that. "Now come on, we're going shopping for Halloween." She pumped a fist into the air, showing extreme happiness.

Fai jumped up and squealed. "Yay! More candy!"

Yuuko grinned maliciously. "Oh no, not just candy, Fai-kun…" Her eyes glinted. "Costumes as well!"

Kurogane swallowed hard. "… C-Costumes? Do I have to?" Yuuko threw him a stern look.

"Well hell yes! And I'm picking it out for you whether you like it or not!"

Syaoran had managed to escape the room before an argument erupted.

"I already hate this freaking idea of wearing a damn costume around Japan!" Kurogane retorted as he held a finger up at Yuuko's face. Yuuko bared her teeth, letting out a hiss.

"Yeah? Well if you don't follow me to the costume shop, I'll force you to where a damn Little Bo Peep costume!" Yuuko yelled back. Kurogane paled. He had no idea what a Little Bo Peep was, and he didn't want to know.

Fai, on the other hand, had been watching Moro and Maru's Disney storybooks. He giggled.

"Kuro-paku in a Little Bo Peep costume! Kawai-desu…" Fai was in a giggle fit as he saw a blush creep onto Kurogane's face.

"W-What the heck is a Little Bo Peep?" Kurogane literally cried, grasping onto Yuuko's shoulders.

"Come with me?"

"Tell me what it is first!" Yuuko shrugged.

"Well, answer me first. Deal or no deal?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh dear Lord, what was I on when I was writing this? Was I high on crack? Wait no then I'd probably be arrested! Anyway, this is chapitre one of Boo! I'm really enjoying this so far.

I thought it would be a great idea to write a story based on Halloween.

… And if you don't know who Little Bo Peep is, she's the sheep-person from Toy Story. Also not mine.

So yeah, I hope you enjoyed it! And I hope you can just drop by and review, anonymous or not… Hee…

Countdown! Five Days 'Till Halloween!
