Sine Qua Non

Chapter 1:

Without Which Not

--------Blood's story

My mother named me Rose, after her favorite flower. My friends named me Blood, after I kept cutting myself with sharp objects and watching my blood fall onto the clean snow.

When I was little, I used to sit with my friends by the window and watch snow. I never left that window until it was time to go home. My friends stayed to keep me company.

Now that I'm bigger, maybe I'll get over this dependence. I still sit by windows and watch snow. But now I'm bigger, I've realized creative uses for snow. One of them is snowballs. The other is wishes. That's right, wishes. I wish on the snow.

----------Gale's story

My mother named me Lorie, after who or what I don't know. My friends call me Gale, after the way I run out and play in the winds. Partly because of my tinkle of a laugh.

When I was little, I used to sit with Blood and the gang and watch snow. Everywhere I watched the snow would pick up in a gale.

Now that I'm bigger, I've realized how deadly wind can be. I still make snow move, I still pick up the leaves with a gale. I have realized the destructive powers of wind. I can kill a bird with a small vacuum; I can throw people with a large hurricane. That's right, I control the wind.

---------Pen's story

My mother named me Amy, after my least favorite aunt. My friends named me Pen after watching me draw things for them in rapid order.

When I was little, I watched the snow and wind with Gale, Blood, and the rest. But I used to have to make a snow for us to watch.

Now that I'm older, I take point, and I start the trends. When Blood wants her snow, or Gale wants her bird, I draw it. That's right, I draw things, and they come to life.

--------Ebony's story

My mother named me Latoya, because she said I would be a proud black woman. My friends named me Ebony after my dark complexion and my dark ways of dealing with things.

When I was little, I used to stand by Gale's side and watch her make wind. I was fine with it. But then I saw Blood wishing, so I started thinking. I thought about dark skies, and dark clouds, dark rooms with no air.

Now I'm older, I appreciate the dark. I make the snow fall on a border of black night, so Blood can wish better, and Gale can concentrate better. That's right, I make things darker.

--------Bunny's story

My mother named my Boudicca after a famous Iceni queen. My friends call me Bunny after my cute babyish appearance, and my powerful kicks.

When I was littler than I am now, I had to hop to see the snow my friends like so much. I used to kick the ground until they noticed my powerful thumps. I used to carry around a big stuffed bunny called Mr. Wuffums that I made bigger.

Now I'm still little, but not so big, I have learned that every good rabbit has to have someone to back them up. I still have Mr. Wuffums, and I still make him bigger, only now he can move. Yep, I'm a telekinetic.

---------Beginning

It all began one dark, cold, snowy, windy day. Five girls stood at a window, watching the snow.

Blood spoke first. "Want to know what I'm wishing?"

Bunny cocked her head as if talking to her stuffed rabbit. "Mr. Wuffums wants to know."

Pen leaned against the wall. "Tell Blood."

Ebony snorted. "I want to know."

Gale stared out of the window, her forehead pressed against the cool glass. "Tell me too."

Blood smiled softly. "I wish we were somewhere where we could find our dreams."

Bunny smiled, and held up Mr. Wuffums. "Me and Mr. Wuffums agree."

Pen patted the little girl on the head. "I'm with the squirt."

Gale looked at Blood. "Wish that for me as well will you Blood?"

Blood nodded.

Ebony whistled. "I'm with the group on this one."

Blood smiled. "Then let's all make the wish together on whatever it is we hold dear." She held out her hands. "I wish on the snow and blood."

Bunny hopped up and down and put one of Mr. Wuffums' paws in Blood's hand, and took the other. "I wish on Mr. Wuffums and hopping."

Pen took one of Bunny's hands and held out her other. "I wish on pen, pencil, and paper."

Ebony smiled softly. "I wish on evil and darkness." She took Pen's last hand and held hers out to Gale.

Gale grinned and took Blood and Ebony's last hands. "I wish on gale and hurricane."

The girls held their circle. "We wish on everything we hold dear, to make this wish come true. We wish for all, we wish for one, for a place where we can find our dreams."

Bunny smiled and held up Mr. Wuffums. "Mr. Wuffums wishes we could go now!"

The room began spinning, and none of the girls moved. They stood stock still as the room itself disappeared, leaving them with only their ring of hands. They felt themselves leave the ground, and they drifted out in space, Bunny and Gale laughing the whole way.

Pen gagged. "I think I'm going to be sick."

Ebony snorted. "Wuss."

Blood closed her eyes. "Bunny....What did you do?"

Bunny looked around. "Me no do anything!"

The girls screamed as they felt themselves rapidly drop. Bunny and Gale were the only ones laughing, but stopped as they saw the ground rise up to meet them.

-----------Finder's Keepers

"Do you think they're dead?" Goku poked Bunny with a stick, and jumped back when she started laughing.

Gojyo looked at the five. "No they're not dead. The question is: Are they evil?"

Hakkai held a green glowing hand over Gale, and was surprised that his healing passed through their ring into the one who needed it most. "Amazing."

Sanzo poked Pen with his gun. "What the hell are they doing out here in the middle of nowhere?"

Pen slapped his face. "Pervert. Oy! Blood, Gale, Bunny, and Ebony! Get your fat carcasses up!"

Bunny burrowed her face in the grass. "Forgot someone."

Pen sighed. "And Mr. Wuffums too."

Bunny hopped up into the air in her best bunny hop, Mr. Wuffums held in front of her. "Mr. Wuffums have fun! He wants to do it again!"

Gale started laughing again. "Pen...you should see your face!!!!" Gale started rolling on the ground.

"Oh yeah huh?" Pen's face twitched. She pulled out an art pad and her pen, and drew a massive baseball bat. "Take that you slug!" She thwacked Gale with it, much to the surprise of Sanzo's party.

Goku hopped backwards. "Eeyah! She just drew it...and there it was!"

Blood elegantly got off the ground. "Pen! Stop it. Bunny, come down to Earth. Gale, stop laughing or I'll shove this sock up your nose. Ebony, get up before I rub the black off you and make you look like Michael Jackson."

The black girl hopped up. "That's wrong! You don't tell a black person you're going to rub the black off them! Then I wouldn't be black!"

Bunny held up Mr. Wuffums to Goku who had been staring at it. "It's Mr. Wuffums! He's my bestest friend in the whole wide world!"

Sanzo perked a brow. "It's a stuffed animal-"

Pen clapped her hand over his mouth. "If you want to live, don't say it."

Bunny's jaw quivered. "You no think Mr. Wuffums is real?"

Pen nudged him, keeping her teeth clenched. "Say you where kidding."

Sanzo snorted. "It's not real. It's full of stuffing."

Bunny had a death grip on Mr. Wuffums. "You no think he real?"

Sanzo cleared his throat. "That's what I just said."

Bunny petted Mr. Wuffums. "But Mr. Wuffums had to hear that for himself, didn't you Mr. Wuffums?" She threw Mr. Wuffums into the air.

Blood, Ebony, Gale, and Pen grabbed Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai, dragging them away from Sanzo.

Goku protested against Gale's sudden action. "But I have to protect Sanzo!"

Gale tugged his hair. "Unless you want to be killed by a large stuffed animal, stay out of it."

Sanzo snorted. "It's just a stuffed animal. What the hell could it possibly do?"

Bunny levitated off the ground. "Bunny's Super Special Attack! Wuffum power!" She jumped straight inside of Mr. Wuffums, who had grown a lot bigger. The combined mass began to glow with a pink light, and when the light stopped, Bunny's Super Special Attack became evident.

"It's just some little girl using a stuffed animal as a suit." Sanzo shot at them.

Gale's eyes grew big. "You're shooting at an EIGHT YEAR OLD!!!!!!" The wind started to pick up.

Bunny dodged the bullet midair, and proudly showed off her new attack. Bunny twitched her new white bunny ears and tail, adjusting her big dark pink hair bow (whose ribbons went past the floor) in her light pink hair with her big white bunny gloves. Her white bunny boots made no sound on the grass as she landed, and her dark pink skirt matched her white jacket perfectly. "Wuffunny!"

Sanzo stared at her. "That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen."

Gojyo wiped a tear from his eye. "She's so cute!"

Blood smacked him. "Pedophile."

Gojyo held his bruised head. "She's cute in a little rabbit kind of way!"

Blood smacked him again. "That made it worse bonehead."

Ebony snickered. "So....Who the hell is this guy?"

Hakkai smiled. "Genjo Sanzo, Guardian of the Holy Sutra."

Ebony perked a brow. "That made no sense whatsoever, but Ok!"

Wuffunny hopped over to Sanzo, and began beating the crap out of him. "Mr. Wuffums is too real!"

Sanzo wiped his bloody lip. This Wuffunny kid punched hard. "Is not real!"

Wuffunny hop flipped away. "DIE!"

Sanzo ducked from her high flying attack. "This is stupid!"

Kougaji watched from the shadows, unnoticed. "This is mad funny."

Lillin cat eyed over Wuffunny. "I want her costume so badly!"

Doukukaiji sighed. "Why should we care again?"

Lirin hopped around. "Get it for me big bro! Pleeeeaaase?"

Kougaji walked away. "Let's come back when they aren't already having a shitty day."

Sanzo was barely dodging Wuffunny's punches, and then she did something ingenious: she started kicking him.

Wuffunny was barely warmed up. "Let's get this tea party started!" She hopped up into the air, in a traditional fighter's stance (Crouching Tiger) and held her hands together in a prayerful motion, which set up a wind, which made her hair and ribbon ends start moving.

Sanzo looked up and saw the pink glowing ribbons. "Screw this!" He began praying for the Sutra, the blue glowing paper against the pink glowing ribbons. Wuffunny landed, and Sanzo saw, to his horror, the magnitude of her 'Sutras'.

Wuffunny opened one pink eye, and saw his small Sutras. She giggled. This was going to be so much fun.

---------Two hours later

Sanzo fell to the ground, bruised, battered, bloody, and in general, beaten up by an eight year old combined with a stuffed animal. He felt like his chest was about to collapse, and his arms felt like noodles. And then Wuffunny came crashing down on him in an elbow drop. Which hurt like hell. He coughed out blood. "Fine...I concede.....Mr. Wuffums is real."

Wuffunny hopped around, and then separated into Bunny and Mr. Wuffums. "Yay! You should've said so sooner. Now you have a broken spine."

Hakkai rushed over, and tried to heal Sanzo with his glowing green hand. "Sanzo....I can't fix all of this."

Goku grabbed Bunny's throat. "What'd you do to him?!?!?!"

Ebony snorted. "When Bunny works someone over, they don't get up for a long time, if at all."

Pen laughed and sketched something. She snagged it out of the air, and handed it to Hakkai. "Cure-all Elixir. Cure's everything. We figured out the hard way with Bunny."

Hakkai looked at her. "Why should I trust you?"

Gale laughed. "Read the label. Her drawings are literal to the exterior."

Hakkai uncorked the bottle and sniffed it. "I suppose it'll do." He held the bottle to Sanzo's mouth.

Sanzo grimaced. "I hate you Wuffunny, Bunny person." He drank the foul concoction, gagging as it went down. "That is nasty!"

Pen laughed. "Who said it was supposed to taste good?"

Bunny snuggled up to her huge bunny. "Mr. Wuffums says.....You're a stupid bastard who should stop being such a self-absorbed prick."

Blood poked Pen. "Soap."

Pen nodded and sketched a bar of soap. "Here ya go Blood."

Blood promptly stuffed the soap into Bunny's mouth. "Never say bad words or I'll wash your mouth out with soap just like this."

Tears streamed down Bunny's face at the nasty taste of the soap.

Goku rolled on the floor laughing. "Baka onna!"

Blood held up her hand. "Soap."

Pen nodded and sketched another bar of soap. "Here ya go."

Blood tossed the soap up and down. "Next person who curses walks around with a bar of soap in their mouth."

Gojyo laughed. "That's the funniest damn thing I've ever heard."

Blood stood up with rapid speed and shoved the soap in his mouth. "Duct tape."

Pen smiled evilly. "Right." She sketched a large roll of duct tape and handed it to Blood, who promptly taped the soap bar in Gojyo's mouth.

Sanzo rubbed his arms. "That cure-all stuff works."

Bunny spat out the soap. "Nasty!"

Gojyo reached over and shoved the soap back in. His expression was clear: If I have to have this nasty stuff in my mouth, so do you.

Gale laughed. "This is funny. Limit thirty minutes though. I remember that punishment. After that, brush your teeth."

Blood nodded. "This is an interesting place to find our dreams isn't it girls?"

Pen, Gale, Bunny, and Ebony nodded.

"Damn straight." Ebony filed her nails to a point.

Blood held her hand out, and Pen deposited a soap bar into her hand, which was promptly stuffed into Ebony's mouth.

Bunny laughed around her soap, and burped up a bubble.

-------Thirty minutes later

"Welcome to the Humvee Convoy. Please deposit all soap bars into the proper receptacle." Pen bowed at her latest creation: two Humvees with all the modern comforts.

Bunny nodded. "Now we don't have to walk."

Pen scratched her head. "But none of us girls know how to drive."

Hakkai smiled. "I'm sure we can arrange something."

Gale looked at him. "Half per car?"

Hakkai smiled. "Exactly."

Blood hopped into the backseat of the red Humvee. "Just draw a chauffer."

Pen nodded. "Done." The new chauffer opened the door for Gale to get into the green Humvee.

"Hakkai, Gale, Goku, and Bunny in the Green. Blood, Gojyo, Ebony, Sanzo, and the chauffer in the Red. And I, Pen, take the supply car."

Bunny looked at her. "We don't have a supply car."

"In that case, I'll go in the Red." Pen held up her mighty sketchbook. "The pen is mightier than the man!"

Gojyo spat out his soap bar. "I resent that."

"Good." Bunny hopped neatly into the Green Humvee, Goku following after her.

---------Town

"Harahete...." Goku and Bunny both joined a chorus of 'I'm hungry'.

Ebony threw a large lamp at Bunny, who simply jumped to touch the ceiling. "SHUT UP!!"

Sanzo shot the wall. "URUSAI!!"

Pen sighed. "Blood....do something about the stupid rabbit."

Blood grabbed Goku and Bunny, and hugged them. "If you keep quiet, I'm sure Mr. Sanzo will buy you some food. But only if you're quiet."

Bunny hugged Blood back, her height only allowing her to get to her stomach. "Yes ma'am."

Goku just looked bewildered. After a few moments, he closed his eyes and just enjoyed the fact that someone cared.

Gojyo poked Goku's side. "Oy.....Grow up yet?"

Blood sighed. "This is going to be a loooong hiatus."

Pen and Ebony grinned. "You said it, not us."

Bunny hopped up and down. "HARAHETE!!!!"

Hakkai laughed. "Mah mah. Daijobu!"

---------------------End clip

Bunny waved Mr. Wuffum's paw. "Bye-bye!"

Nii made his little bunny bow. "Sayonara!"

Ebony sighed. "Later."

Blood gave a little wave. "See ya next time."

Gojyo bowed. "And that's all she wrote!"

Sanzo shot the ending credits. "I hate credits. They take forever."

Goku ate a paragraph. "Unh! Bye-bye!"

The Kougaiji-ikkou poked the screen. "Why are we even in the end credits?"

Kanzeon Bosatsu danced around with vegetable Nataku. "Oops.....my bad. Have a nice life."

Jiroushin stumbled in from off screen, piss drunk. "Look at all the purty birdies..."

Pen sighed. "This is just sad. Author lady! Just end it already!"

Angelic-Kitten perked her lean eyebrow, scratching her head. "Fine.....I think I put too much gel in my hair..... Yeah. Feel free to hurt me at school guys. Oh, talk to me in person if you want the plot to go a certain way. I can do that, since you ppl OBVIOUSLY know me in RL. So. Yeah. Bunny is like my favorite, since she's like Goku and has issues with Mr. Wuffums. I really have a stuffed animal named Mr. Wuffums. But it's a big husky thingy I bought at Lotteworld. Why would you name an amusement park after a coffee thingy with and froth? Why on earth would you do that? AsianOrange, ChoiYugi...please don't hurt me. Sayonara!"

AsianOrange picks up a baseball bat. "Think I'm weird huh? Take that!"

Choiyugi steps in front of the dust cloud. "This scene is not fit for children. Have a nice day. NOW GO REVIEW!!!"

AngelicKitten grins. "Matta matta! I just want to thank all the little people out there-"

AsianOrange grabs what little hair AngelicKitten has. "WHO'RE YOU CALLIN LITTLE PEOPLE!?!?!! LAST TIME I CHECKED YOU WERE SHORTER THAN ME!!!"

ChoiYugi clears her throat. "Yes. We didn't really say all that, I think she just wanted to use up space...."

Bunny hops in front of ChoiYugi, scaring the crap out of her. "I'm still hungry....."

Goku pokes his chopsticks out of the screen. "Are those meat buns?"

Gojyo grabs his head. "Where? That's our current torturer dumbass!"

AngelicKitten cackles and rubs her hands. "Ke ke k eke. See you next time kiddies..."

ChoiYugi drags her away from the keyboard. "That was just freaky. Don't do it again. Now let's get you to bed.....baka ero kappa onna."

AngelicKitten waves to the readers. "Bye-bye! My keeper says I have to go away now!"
