The Quest for Jibanyan

Chapter 1 - A Bun in the Oven Can Cause Problems

Well, Jibanyan had once again gotten himself into trouble. What did he do? He tried to sneak passed a pack of ally dogs to get to a dumpster behind a bakery, but he somehow woke the dogs up anyway, and he was now being chased by the rabid dogs, and he never did get any dessert scraps either.

The cat Yo-Kai had been chased for almost a mile now, and he was soon chased into Gourd Park where he climbed up a tree by the big lake.

"Ha! Too bad, Mutts! Nyo cat for dinner tonyight! Nyaa-nya-nya-nya-nyaaaa!" Jibanyan laughed mockingly while shaking his rump down at the barking dogs, but one suddenly jumped up and nearly clamped its jaws down on Jibanyan's tails, scaring the cat Yo-Kai even further up the tree.

But eventually, a dog catcher truck drove by the park, and luckily chased all of the dogs off to try and catch them, leaving Jibanyan to sigh in relief and finally relax again.

"This isn't good! This isn't good! This is NOT good!" Jibanyan decided to climb down when he heard a rather familiar voice.

"Whisper? What are you doing here?"

The cat Yo-Kai was even more perplexed when he saw the said butler Yo-Kai was dipping a plastic pale into the lake.

"It's the babies! They're coming!" Whisper suddenly exclaimed, and he darted off as soon as he filled the pale.

"The babies?! Oh nyo!" Jibanyan screamed in fear, and he sprinted off after Whisper.

The butler and cat Yo-Kai had run all the way to the other side of the large and beautiful Gourd Lake. Why? Because that was where Whisper, Nate, and Fondnesse(or Anais Spirit before becoming a Yo-Kai)were having their picnic…AND FONDNESSE WAS FINALLY HAVING HER BABIES!

"Don't worry, Dearest! Baby Daddy's coming!" Whisper cried out while his eyes frantically searched for his wife and also trying not to spill any water.

"Boys or girls?! How many-WHOA!" Jibanyan frantically tried to ask, but he didn't look where he was going, and he tripped over a rock; this resulted in him somehow flying up and taking Whisper down with him.

The two were then in dazed pile on the ground, and Whisper had the pale on top of his head, making him look like a dope with the water spilled everywhere…but it only got worse when Fondnesse walked up to him, and she stared down at her husband with a cocked eyebrow.

Ever since Fondnesse's pregnant belly had become very plump with babies, she was too heavy to float around anymore, so she had to walk around on all fours.

"U-uh…hi?" Whisper asked with a blush while staring up at Fondnesse with a sheepish smile.

"Whisper, I told you, it was only a kick," Fondnesse informed flatly.

"Heh-heh…well, I wish I had known that sooner…I feel like such an idiot," Whisper said as he got back up, and he then floated up to Fondnesse's belly and pressed his face close to it, "yeah, you REALLY gave daddy a scare. Daddy got silly and went for a run, but he tripped and went BOOM…silly Daddy, huh?"

"Yeah…silly and paranyoid," Jibanyan grimly pointed out, "see ya guys later."

With that, the chocolate-loving cat Yo-Kai walked off with his tail drooping, catching the others' attention and concern.

"What's wrong with him?" Fondnesse asked with worry.

"Who knows? That cat's been acting like that for a while now," Whisper pointed out dryly.

"Maybe one of you should go talk to him," Fondnesse suggested.

"Are you crazy?" Nate asked with shock.

"What?" Fondnesse questioned.

"Guys don't talk to other guys about guy problems—that's what girls are for; guys just punch each other on the shoulders," Whisper explained while gently tapping his wife's shoulder.

…

"That's stupid," Fondnesse sighed with disappointed.

"Yeah, it kinda is, but you know how boys are," Nate admitted in defeat.

"Well, I don't care who does it, but one of you is going to talk to Jibanyan," Fondnesse demanded firmly before walking away for Nate and Whisper to decide.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Whisper suggested.

"Sure," Nate replied.

After failing to steal wasted pastries, Jibanyan tried mousing, as he was waiting in a bush near Gourd Lake while stalking a mouse. And Jibanyan would've successfully pounced and caught the mouse if…

"Jibanyan?!" Whisper's loud voice immediately scared off the mouse, and Jibanyan was not happy.

"What do you want, Whisper?" Jibanyan grumbled while standing back up on two legs, and came out of hiding to find the said butler Yo-Kai floating right there.

"Uh…well…we're all pretty worried about you, Jibanyan."

"Why do you care? I thought you hated me," Jibanyan grumpily pointed out, as he started looking for another mouse, and Whisper started following him.

"L-let's not worry about that right now…Jibanyan, we just want to know what's wrong."

Jibanyan stopped and looked down with his eyes closed, confusing Whisper.

"Jibanyan?"

"Look, Whisper…you and Fondnyesse are stepping up to whole nyew level in your lives, and you're having kids now, which is great and all, but…"

"You want to babysit?"

"Nyo, and that's just it! Whisper, I don't want to sound rude or anything…but this family life style is just a little bit…too slow for me. Do you get it?" Jibanyan explained with a sheepish smile while scratching the back of his head.

…

"Oh, so my family is boring to you?" Whisper sneered.

"Nyo, it's just that-!"

"No, no, I totally get it now! Go on and leave to find some adventure, but don't let the door to my boring life hit you on the way out," Whisper interrupted sarcastically while floating off, but the whole time, Nate and Fondnesse had been watching from afar.

"THAT'S why guys don't talk to other guys about guy problems," Whisper grumbled to his wife.

"Why? What happened?" Fondnesse questioned with concern.

"Jibanyan's leaving."

As Whisper and Fondnesse left, Nate saw how angry Jibanyan looked, so he decided to go see if he could be more successful than Whisper and comfort him himself.

"Aw, c'mon, Jibanyan. Cheer up! I mean, we're having babies," Nate tried to reassure.

"No, Nyate. THEY'RE having babies," Jibanyan grimly protested while pointing back at Whisper and Fondnesse.

"Well…don't worry. Things'll get better in the end."

"I don't think so, Nyate," Jibanyan sadly sighed, as he walked away, and Nate didn't know what to do.

"Jibanyan? Where ya goin'?"

…

"Bye, Nyate."

Aww, don't go, Jibanyan!

So, yeah, here we are with the sequel, and I am very excited to be writing this 'cause(obviously) this is an Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs parody! Yay!

Until the next chapter, I'm TRikiD, bye-bye!
