5 Strawberries

Summary: Shinku and Hina have been left alone for the day. How will they spend it? And who with? Probably OOC.

Notes: A tribute fic to my two favourite Rozen Maiden Characters. I just wanted to do something so I can get this put forward.

To let you know, this is a multi chappie story, with each chapter being Shinku and Hina having 'fun' with another doll. This chapter...just read it.

And, by the way, this is based more on the dub, so that's why there's no nano from Hina. It also helps to note that so you know what voices to think of when reading this.

"But Jun-kun!"

"No buts, Hina! I have to go and I can't take you two with me! Call on Suiseiseki or Souseiseki if you're bored!"

"But-"

"NO BUTS!" SLAM! Hina stood in the hall, staring at the door with a sad look. She dropped her head and walked back into the living room, where her strawberry berry cake waited, still uneaten. Nori had made it special for her. But she didn't feel like eating. She noticed Shinku sitting on the sofa, reading her book. She walked up to her.

"Shinku?" The doll put the book on her lap and looked at the young one.

"What is it, Hinaichigo?" Hina shuffled her feet on the floor, nervous.

"Well, Jun just left and Hina wanted to go with him, but he was mean to Hina. And Hina wanted to know what Shinku wanted to do while Jun is out." Shinku sighed, closing the book and setting it to her side.

"Okay then, Hinaichigo, sit down." Hina shuffled forward until she was in front of the blonde. Then, she sat down with a thump. Shinku shook her head.

"Now now, Hinaichigo, not like that. Stand up and do it again." Hina pouted as she stood up, then sat down without a sound. Shinku nodded.

"Good. Now, first things first, you tell me how you are feeling right now, and we will branch out from there. But we must also think of myself, and the gardeners if they decide to visit." Hina nodded.

"Okay then. Thank you Shinku."

"Oh, don't thank me yet. Now, tell me how you feel." Hina put a finger on her chin a thought, a hard look of concentration creasing her face. Then, she smiled.

"I feel bored. Can we please play a game?"

"Well...oh alright then. Besides, it could be good exercise."

"YAY! Hina wants to play...Detective KunKun!" Shinku's eyes widened at Hina's suggestion, but then, she smirked.

"Very well then, but I have to be KunKun's assistant. You can be the dead person." Hina looked like she was going to argue, but when several rose petals flew around her, she agreed out of fear.

"O-o-o-okay. Hina will play dead." The blue eyed doll nodded.

"Good. Now, I will go put on a DVD that we can play along to." She reached the cabinet while Hina fidgeted on the floor. She opened the oak doors and searched inside for their recently acquired Detective KunKun DVD Set. She scowled when she found it way at the back.

"Honestly, Jun. Making me get all dusty just because you think it would funny to hide KunKun from us." Hina blinked.

"Shinku?" The doll turned, holding the large box.

"Never mind. I'll go put one in. Which one would you like to play?" Hina wasted no time in answering.

"That episode where the travelling circus rats killed all the performers out of jealousy! That one's Hina's favourite!" Shinku nodded.

"Very well then."

"KunKun, what do you presume happened to the dear?" Shinku turned to the TV and unmuted it.

"I believe it has something to do with whoever ambushed me last night when I stumbled across her. But, to be honest, I think the answer lies in this tuft of grey fur I got from my attacker last night in the struggle." Hina sighed as she lay on the coffee table, bored at not being able to do anything but lie there. Shinku gave her a stern look. Then she muted it and said, "Well, if I know you, KunKun, you'll solve this case."

Before she could unmute it, there came a knock at the door, followed by another. Shinku quickly paused the DVD and hurried to the door. She pulled out her steps and looked through the peep hole. She was greatly confused when she couldn't see anyone. She put the steps back and walked back through to the living room.

"I apologize for the interruption, Hinaich-" She stopped as she saw Suiseiseki and Souseiseki sitting with Hina, eating some cookies, with their open cases sitting by the open window. The elder twin spotted the doll and jumped to her feet. She ran to her, shouting, "Oh, Shinku! It's so good to see you again!" Souseiseki got up a little slower and walked over. She pried her sister off of the doll and said, "I am pleased to see you again too." Shinku blinked.

"Hmm, I wasn't expecting you to visit so soon. But, since you're here-" Hina jumped up and shouted, "You can play Detective KunKun with us!" Suiseiseki suddenly jumped up and said, frightening everyone, "Well, I don't see why we should play should a childish game, but if it is Detective KunKun, then me and Souseiseki would be happy to take part." Her twin sweatdropped as she muttered, "Don't I get a say in this?"

"Oh dear KunKun, please solve this mystery soon. I fear that I may be next." Hina tilted her head back to look at Souseiseki, who was sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the mayor's scene.

"Suiseiseki's a really good actress, huh Souseiseki?" The boyish doll merely frowned as she said, "I'm afraid she's not acting, Hina." Shinku walked toward Suiseiseki and said, "Don't worry, dear. KunKun will solve the case. He always does." Souseiseki hit the mute button on the remote and KunKun's voice echoed in the silent living room.

"Yes I shall, dear. You can count on me. Now, my assistant, we continue our investigation!"

"Yes KunKun." Since the assistant or the performer didn't say anything else for a while, the dolls just sat and watched the rest until the mayor's scene came up, and Souseiseki stood up.

"KunKun, how are you doing in your investigation?"

"Just fine, Mayor. But I still have far to go."

"KunKun. We have to go. The performer called asking for you," Shinku said. At the little scene changer, Souseiseki sat down with a thump and muttered, "The mayor doesn't even have any lines." Hina pouted beside her.

"Hina doesn't say anything because Hina has to die before Hina can say anything." Souseiseki nodded.

"Why is it that Shinku and Suiseiseki get the big roles?"

"Who knows."

"Bye! Come again soon!" Hina leaned against the back of the chair, waving to the twins as they left for their masters' house. Once the cases were out of sight, she stopped waving and turned to Shinku. She jumped off the chair and asked, "So what do we do now, Shinku?"

"Well, Hinaichigo, I believe that we should be expecting a visit from Suigintou momentarily."

"Dear Shinku, momentarily is not the word."
