Chichiri the Party Magician
I like to joke with my friend that Chichiri is a part-time party magician... I don't know why anymore. Honestly. Just accept it, and read on. The usual copywrights, blah blah blah, have a good day :)
Chichiri had been sneaking out of the palace alot lately, and everyone was suspicious. Of course, they couldn't do much about it. When Chichiri noticed he was being watched, he'd be able to hide what he was doing with his magic, and he would often disappear before he got out of the castle gate.
The senshi gathered one night, after Tasuki had witnessed the third escape this week. They sat in the formal dining room, to discuss the happenings about the palace, particularily surrounding Chichiri's happenings.
"So, what are we going to do?" Miaka whined. She was tired, and being in the formal dining room made her think of food, therefore making her hungry. Again.
"There is nothing we can do. We do not know what these actions are of his. It could be something quite simple.." Hotohori began.
"Like what?!" Tamahome interrupted. "What could he be doing, other then something terribly suspicious?!"
Tamahome's question was answered with an eerie silence, and a stillness to the room. The senshi all looked at each other, pondering the situation at hand. It if was even a situation to ponder.
"Well, logically, we could send one of us out to follow Chichiri one night," Mitsukake added, breaking the silence after five minutes.
"That is an excellent plan! Now, who will do it?" Chiriko smiled, standing from his chair so he could stare down the other senshi better.
Nuriko was looking in a mirror, setting his hair up in curlers for bed, and ignoring everyone else in the room.
"How about Nuriko? He can be sneaky!!" Miaka happily said.
"What? I don't want to follow him!!" Nuriko put down his mirror, and glared at Miaka.
"Well, why not send Nuriko with an accomplice?" Hotohori eyed Tasuki.
Tasuki felt eyes burning into him, and looked up from the spot he was scratching at on the table. "Oh no, I'm not sneaky. I'm loud... and... annoying... and... I... suck at sneaking?"
Tasuki felt no way to escape this volunteer work.
The next night, as Chichiri prepared, Tasuki and Nuriko hid. Tasuki hid in Chichiri's room, keeping his Chi completely down so Chichir could not detect him. Nuriko hid in a bush just by the palace gate, doing what Tasuki was doing as well.
Chichiri packed a bag, but from where Tasuki was, he couldn't see what was being packed. If he tried to move, he would break his concentration, and Chichiri would detect his Chi, so he let it slide.
Chichiri left the room, and when Tasuki felt it was safe, he tried as quietly as he could to leave the room. When Tasuki left the room, Nuriko was popping his head out of the bush, and brushing some leaves out of his hair.
"Well?" Tasuki stared at Nuriko. "Where is he?"
Nuriko finished primping. "He disappeared. Maybe we should look outside the gate?" He shrugged.
The two senshi opened the gate, and saw Chichiri walking down the road.
"...Is he too lazy to open the gate?" Tasuki was more dumfounded then usual.
"...I suppose so..." Nuriko tilted his head.
The two senshi followed Chichiri down he street, to find out what terrible deeds he could be up too.
Annnd, I have to go to bed. I shall continue this miraculous journey tomorrow morning.
So await Chapter 2, and please... READ AND REVIEW. Especially review. If you made it down here, I'd assume you already read it.
