Little Black Riding Hood
by Mink (mink@envy.nu)
Part 3: Ohkami Seravi

DISCLAIMER: Akazukin Chacha belongs to Ayahana Min; I don't own any of the characters. But the situations, Wolf-Seravi, and Wolf-Dorothy belong to me. ^_^ The actual "Little Red Riding Hood" was written by the Grimm brothers, I think.

Some minor notes:

- Tonki is the name of a well-known Japanese tonkatsu (read: pork cutlets) restaurant in Tokyo. It's a great place, if you drop by Tokyo, I HIGHLY recommend you go there!

- Sailormoon curry exists. >.< They come with cardboard cup plate thingys. ^^;

- The sound effect of "kun-kun" is how most Japanese cartoons indicate sniffing.

And all the Pocky flavours are real ones. I especially like the Men's Pocky. *oishii*

"Play narration" parts like:
Mink: bleh bleh bleh
Seravi: bleh bleh bleh
Are small quips that the cast and I desire to make. *niko*

Also! This is basically an alternate universe. Not in a specific timeline to date. (See how messy this all gets? ^_^) And I've attempted to create a humorous 'fic. Actually, I was trying to write a non-humorous 'fic, but my sole editor, Kay, told me it was too humourous if I was attempting a humorous 'fic. So I'm not sure. You decide. ^_-

Seravi discreetly hid a potion under his white cloak, and peeked around the house, hanging onto Elizabeth. The house seemed vaguely empty... and that was what he needed. He didn't want any interruptions to foil his plans to turn Dorothy's hair to the original blonde with this potion!

"Seravi? What are you doing, rummaging around like some rat?" said a sharp voice behind him. Dorothy stood behind him, glowering. "Hm?"

"Dorothy-chan!" he said happily. "I've been looking for you!" Then he blinked. "Where is everyone?"

"Running errands for me," Dorothy said calmly.

Seravi smiled, relieved. As much as he liked everyone, he didn't want anyone getting underfoot. He smiled -- maybe too cheerfully for himself. ^_^; "Well, I just made some tonkatsu in the kitchen!" he said.

Dorothy lit up. "You did?"

"Yes. I want you to have some, okay? Tell me how good it is..."

"That's right! Even an ugly person such as you must have good taste for tonkatsu! Better than Tonki's!" Elizabeth chirped in calmly.

Dorothy glowered at the doll, but allowed herself to be fawned into the kitchen. She was a bit suspicious about Seravi's kindness here.

Out of nowhere, Seravi grabbed a plate of tonkatsu from the air. "Just one moment!" he said, whistling, "I need the sauce."

Mink: WELL! SERAVI, --
Seravi: Didn't you say you hated interruptions? Now here's a first. ^_^
Mink: Who asked you? Anyway, tonkatsu better than *TONKI*?
Seravi: Actually, it's all catered *FROM* Tonki. Mixed up with a Seravi special sauce!
Mink: Poor Doroshi-chan. She has to endure your sauce? *sniff* I love Tonki's tonkatsu! Can I have some?
Seravi: *glare* Not after you insulted me like that.
Mink: WHAT! I --
Seravi: *smacks her with a mallet* Be careful, Mink-san. You might be in a coma for life if you don't watch those quips. *niko*

Seravi secretly snatched open his vial from his cloak and put a tiny drop in Dorothy's tonkatsu with the cut-up cabbage and miso soup. He smiled and plopped the plate in front of her. "Heee~re!" he said joyfully, and immediately began to stare at her hair.

Dorothy took a bite. "Wow! This is actually good," she said calmly.

Then she felt sick. "Seravi?"

Seravi began to jig, as he suddenly grabbed a handful of Dorothy's pink... no, er... blonde hair. "It's blonde!" he cried, jumping around, and in his carelessness, he dropped Elizabeth. "O~HOHOHOHOHO!"

(Mink: Now, *THERE*'s that infectious Tomoyo laugh.)

Dorothy began to fume. The curls weren't as sproingy as they had been when she was a little kid, but enough to make her look like Goldilocks, or even Doris. Out of nowhere, she grabbed a hoard of mallets. "SERAV~IIIIIIIIIIIII!" she screamed, and threw the mallets (and unfortunately, she missed).

As Seravi still jumped around, Dorothy fumed. "If *MY* hair is going to be BLONDE, then you'll be the same, too!" She held her hands in the air. "Seravi ni --"

Suddenly, Seravi knocked into her. "Ohh!" Dorothy cried in surprise, stumbling. She glowered at him, trying to finish her spell. "Kami o kirikaware!"

Much to her surprise, Seravi suddenly plopped onto the ground. His green hair had failed to change.

Dorothy frowned, then her heart gave a leap, and she had a pale face.

Seravi had two, silver pointy ears and a bushy tail, and a funny black nose. He looked at her, and scratched his ears, then licked his lips, and had a funny smirk. "You seem tasty!" he quipped in his normal voice, but with a thickness to it.

"... A wolf?" Dorothy said, sweatdropping. "Oh, no -- that couldn't be part of the -- ?!"

Only then did she notice the wolf looking at her with a hungry eye, and she gulped, and began to run out from the cottage, with Wolf-Seravi following closely behind! ^_^

"I'm tired!" Riiya announced. "When can we stop? I'm hungry, too, by the way."

The six were travelling through the woods, and Yakko held a map (which had just been recently supplied by a helpless author, Mink). "According to this map... we're almost there. Just a few more minutes!"

"But Yakko-chan! We're tired!" Chacha said pointedly.

"SO?" Yakko said fiercely. "We are almost there!"

Her plan to ditch the five were shattered. She had tried many times to escape, to go back to Seravi's house so she could talk to him (*niko*) but it hadn't worked.

"Oh, all right," Yakko agreed, relenting. So the six sat down on the grass, and prepared themselves a bit of Sailormoon curry from a nice cooking set which immediately popped up by Yakko's magic.

Riiya: Hmm. Like I said, she's too powerful.
Mink: So? It's just a 'fic. o.o;
Riiya: Yeah, but you should keep our proportions real!
Mink: But I don't want 2 bad magicians on the trip!
Riiya: *glare* Are you calling Chacha 'bad'?
Mink: Err... no. *nervous smile* Ehehe... no more mallets. PLEASE!

As the six ate, Orin finished first, and she stood up. Then Riiya finished second. While the others chatted, Orin stiffened. "Are?" she murmured. She walked over to the edge of the picnic blanket (Mink: When did we get such luxury?!), Riiya popped into his wolf form and sniffed the air.

"Kun-kun!" he sniffed. "That smells funny."

"Someone's nearby," agreed Orin.

"Are? Orin-chan, Riiya?" Chacha called out from the picnic blanket. "What are you doing?"

"Someone's nearby," Orin repeated, whispering.

"Might be a *PERSON* passing by?" Marin said pointedly.

"Wait," Shiine said, and motioned them to be quiet. The bushes nearby rustled, and the others exchanged glances. He quietly walked to the bush, and murmured, "Broom! Appear!" and he clutched it tightly, ready to smack the person in the bush.

Mink: *sarcastically* Why don't you use a mallet? =P
Shiine: But we reserve the mallets for you, Mink-san!

And Shiine thwacked the broom...

... On a blonde-haired lady in a purple dress.

"DORIS?!"

The woman looked up, clutching her head in pain. "Feh...? Where's Doris?" she asked in a frenzy.

"What are you doing here!" Shiine exclaimed. "I thought --"

"Doris is here?!" the woman said.

"Oh, Shiine-chan, maybe we shouldn't have hit her on the head with the broom....! She forgot her memory!" Chacha said, exasperated.

Regaining her senses, the woman shook her head and immediately touched her hair and gave a gasp. "I'm NOT Doris! I'm DOROTHY!"

Chacha and Shiine gave uneasy laughs. "Now, now... we might have hit you a little too hard on the head with the broom... your name is DORI-SU, not DORO-SHI," Chacha recited cheerily.

"But I'm NOT Doris! I'm Dorothy! And Seravi is a hungry wolf, and I don't know how I turned him into that...!" the woman said.

Mink: And now it's time for Mink's interruptions! A little lesson for YOU readers!
Riiya: WOW! A lesson! *claps*
Mink: Dorothy meant to say, "Seravi ni kami kirikaware," right?
Dorothy: I *SAID* that. *glare* >.>
Mink: Well, when Seravi supposedly knocked into her, what did you say?
Dorothy: I didn't say anything.
Mink: OF COURSE YOU DID! ^_^ You said, "OHHH."
Dorothy: Your point?
Mink: You didn't complete the spell. So you actually said, "Seravi ni ohkami kirikaware!"
Dorothy: "Ohkami"... isn't that... "hungry wolf"?
Mink: YEP! But you meant hair, didn't you? *niko*
Riiya: The original spell would TECHNICALLY be "Seravi NO," not "Seravi NI," right?
Mink: YES, but it didn't make sense later. o.o
Riiya & Dorothy: SO?! GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT! *thwaps her with mallets*

The cast gave blank looks, hardly understanding Mink's lesson. >.<

"So... Dorothy-chan turned Seravi-sensei into a hungry wolf?" Chacha guessed intelligently.

"... I guess so," Shiine said. "But where is she?"

The others looked around.

"HERE!" The Doris-lookalike said, exasperated.

"SHUT UP!" everyone else chimed.

"Well, she can't be at the house! If Seravi-sensei is hungry, he must have chased her out!" Chacha said logically.

"Maybe Seravi-sensei went to his obaa-san's house," Orin said quietly.

There was a pause.

Riiya: Why would Ohkami Seravi go to his grandma's house? o.o
Mink: Shaddup. I need the story to flow, and it isn't. We gotta get it moving!

"Let's check it out anyway," Yakko said importantly. "*I* was chosen to --"

"We know, we know," everyone chorused, sighing.

"Let's go!" Chacha said. She took the Doris-Lookalike's hand. "Don't worry, I'll look after you, Doris-chan," she said cheerily.

"BUT I'M DOROTHY!"

"Ohhhh, poor Doris-chan," the others clucked sympathetically.

"SERAVI, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!~" Doris-Lookalike yelled to the sky as she was dragged relentlessly to the obaa-san's cottage.

----

Meanwhile, Ohkami Seravi was indeed going to his obaa-san's house, after being payed by a certain nekomimi author to get the story moving...

Mink: NEKOMIMI? HOW DOES A *MINK* LOOK LIKE A *CAT*?
Seravi: Cats are cute, but minks are sly. Fehh. o.o
Mink: Hey, watch it -- that "feh" is mine!~ And who says I'm --
Seravi: *thwaps her with a mallet* This is fun. ^_^

Ohkami Seravi knocked on the door. "Little pig, little pig, let me in!"

Mink: *for once, hits someone with her mallet and DOESN'T miss!* WRONG STORY!

Ohkami Seravi rubbed his head in pain and attempted again. -_-; "Obaa-sannnn!" he called out in a croaky voice.

(Seravi: Oh, so being a hungry wolf automatically changes my voice? >.<)

"Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!" came the hesitant reply which was a sweet voice.

Mink: *tries to hack down door with her mallet* WRONG. STORY. LADY.

.... ^_^;

Then the door opened, and the Urara Gakuen's principal clasped her hand, looking quite radiant admist her huge eyes. "OH! A VISITOR!" she drawled.

Seravi: MY GRANDMOTHER IS THE URARA ENCHOU?! *falls*


Tsuzuku! (To be continued!)
