Akikko: Based on a dream I had. Dunno how this will go. xD;

Aki sat in her chair, her feet propped up on her desk. She sighed and began to scribble down some homework answers. She flipped the page on her school book and then pushed some of her cinnamon brown hair behind her ear. She began to doodle something on the side of her paper, then stopped. She stared at the book.

Silence filled the room.

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" She yelled, her green eyes shining with rage. She jumped to her feet and threw her pencil down. "THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!"

"Just because I can't be perfect doesn't mean I have bad grades! I still make B's, but NOOOO! That just ISN'T good enough is it!" she began ranting to no one in particular.

She took an old toy of hers she's had since she was 10, a six year old cow. Its name was Cowsy. She held it close to her chest, the white and the black looking vibrant against the bright red of her shirt that said, "Love! 3" and had a unicorn on the bottom right hand corner. Her blue jeans were covered in marker and pen from her doodling all day.

"I mean, I don't slack off all the time! But it's so DIFFICULT! AHHHHH!" she said, and getting frustrated at it all, she threw Cowsy at her door, at almost 30 miles per an hour.

She heard a thud. "Uhm…."

"AKI! WATCH WERE YOU'RE THROWING THINGS!" yelled her older brother, Darius. He picked up the cow that had hit his face rather hard, and stood up. "You have quite the arm. Why don't you join baseball or something?"

"You know that I wouldn't be able to keep up my grades if I did, and mom is all about grades now a days!" Aki said. Darius sighed, putting his hand on top of his brown, messy hair. "True."

He wiped off his red shirt with a black skull on the bottom, and pulled up his torn and ratted blue jeans. "Here's your cow." He threw it at her.

"Watch it!" she yelled. He scoffed. "You threw it first! It's not like you treat it delicately."

She sniffed. "Cowsy is more man than you'll ever be!" she said, and stuck her tongue out at him. He sighed again and began to turn around.

"A package came in the mail for you. Mom and I are going somewhere. We won't be back until late. Don't stay up waiting for us, okay?" he said, smiling slightly.

"A package?" Aki mused to herself. "Wait Darius! Do you know what's in it?" she asked, but he didn't answer. She jumped off her bed and went downstairs to go find the box. Mom and Darius had just walked out the door.

She walked over to the kitchen table, and saw a package on it. She opened it. Inside it, she found two plushies. They were exactly like these two men in these odd dreams she had been having lately. But she didn't care.

She squealed.

"Ohmigosh, THEY'RE SOOOOO CUTE! TASUKI AND CHICHIRI! YAY!" she said, and did a little dance, she took the two toys, which were rather large (( about 10 inches tall )), looked at them, stuffed them back in the box, and ran up to her room with it.

She sat the box down next to her bed and took out the two toys. They were perfect, down to the last detail. And cute. Adorable, really. They were chibis and they were perfect.

"But… I don't remember buying these," she said out loud to herself. She started playing around with Tasuki. A fake fan was in his right hand. "Rekka Shinen!" she said, and laughed. Chichiri had his staff in his. "Woot!" she said. "These are WAY awesome!"

"This is too weird," she said. "I've never told anyone about these dreams… and it's not a TV show… so no anime shop should have them."

She shook her head. "Maybe I did tell someone about these dreams, and they made these plushies for me?"

She laid them on her pillow and then laid down on the bed herself. She began to drift to sleep, when she hear something crash downstairs.

Aki rolled off her bed and walked to the door of her room. She yelled, "Mom? Darius? Did one of you come back cause you forgot something?"

Silence.

She heard footsteps going up the stairs and toward her room. "Darius?" she called. "Stop playing games with me!"

The footsteps became louder. Aki backed up toward her bed. A figure became visible in her doorway.

"I've finally found you," said the voice. It sounded so familiar… Yet it wasn't comforting.

"Who… who are you?" she asked, her voice quavering.

"None of your business," said the figure. It walked towards her. It was a man with blonde hair and strikingly blue hair.

"Nakago!" exclaimed Aki. Nakago's eyes' widened. "How did you know my name?" he shook his head. "You must be the priestess then," he said.

"Get away from me!" she yelled. "This must be a dream, right? You don't exist!" she screamed.

Nakago smirked. "Obviously I exist, don't I?" he walked towards her, and she backed away. "I have to get rid of the problem before it becomes something major."

He walked closer and Aki had no place to go. He took ahold of her wrists and held her down to the bed. "NO! Get off of me!" she yelled.

She kicked him in the stomach. "I can't be so easily held down! I'm not a wimpy girl!" she said.

Nakago held his stomach in pain. "You're a pest. I'll just have to dispose of you…" he said, a blue aura surrounding him.

"NO!" she yelled. She reached for the closest things next to her and grabbed…her plushies.

"It's not Chichiri and Tasuki, but it'll do!" she thought, and threw them at Nakago. He smirked. "What? Throwing TOYS at me?"

She closed her eyes, bracing herself for pain, when suddenly she heard….

"REKKA SHINEN!" said an all too familiar voice.

"Priestess! We have to get away from here, ya know?" said another.

She opened her eyes and gasped. "Tasuki? Chichiri? You're…. here?" she asked, dazed.

"Sorry Priestess, but we have no time for talk, ya know?" said Chichiri. Tasuki looked at her over his shoulder and nodded. "I'll take care of this guy. REKKA SHINEN!" he yelled again.

Nakago scowled. "I'll get you!" he said, and disappeared into the air.

Chichiri grabbed Aki without her having any time to react, and laid his hat on the floor, and they both stepped through, Tasuki close behind.

Akikko: This should be fun! x
