"You're really talking to me?"

"Sou da na. You're the smart one."

Ro growled. A stuffed bunny was getting smart with her. "Urusai."

"Oh? Hontou ni? Well, be lonely then." Bunny Doll. with that placid grin stuck to its face, became a lot more quiet. Ro paled.

"C-chotto matte yo! Have you seen my onee-chan?!" Bunny Doll didn't respond. "Damn you!" She kicked Bunny Doll.

Chibi whimpered. "Food...so...hungry...need...nutrition..."

"URUSAI!!!" *THWACK*

"ITAI YO!!!"

Chibi blinked. Sanzo? Or Susan? Either one would work. She took a gulp of air.

"NE!!! TASUKETE!!! I WANT OUT!!!"

Susan stopped her show of beating Rinrin. "Chibi?"

Goku wandered around. "Ne, Chibi-chan? Anata ga doko ni?"

"She's not here. Neither is half the group." Goku turned around to see Gojyo.

"Hontou ni? Everyone's gone?"

"All the girls, anyway. Hakkai's cooking, and god knows what Sanzo's doing."

"Well...do you know where she went?"

"Iie."

"Oh, okay..." Goku turned and wandered off in search of the Chibi.

Ro was getting desperate now. "Ne, Bunny Doll-san...talk to me again...please!!!" She sniffled. "I'll help you find Nien Ji-san..."

"Hontou ni?"

The girl jumped up and down. "Hai, hai--!!" Ro picked up the stuffed animal then bounded off with a mad grin.

"SUSAN! SANZO! WHICHEVER!!" Chibi began sniffling. "TASUKETE!"

"Chibi! Anata ga doko ni?!"

"I'm in the--" but Rinrin had already drug Susan away.

Chibi began bawling. "Yadaaaaa!!!"

"Onee-chan? Doko?!" The small girl happily skipped through the woods, carrying Bunny Doll under one arm and a bag of half-eated meat buns in the other.

"Chibi!"

Ro giggled. Bunny Doll was kinda cool.

"BUNNY DOLL!!!"

A something...a rather large something...tackled Ro and began grabbing for one of the somethings under her arms.

"Yada! My meat buns!" Ro screeched as she fought with the something, causing a dust cloud to form.

Finally, she got the thing off her. Falling backwards, Ro noticed it had gotten the meat buns.

"Give me back my meat buns!"

"Give me back my Bunny Doll!"

She blanched.

"Nien Ji-san?"

The smoke cleared and said doctor was chibitized on the ground, meat buns in lap, crying.

Goku happened onto a most disturbing sight. Susan was dressed--forcibly so--in a pin, frilly dress and a big pink hat, tied down to the ground with stakes and ropes. Rinrin was pouring tea into small ceramic tea cups. Susan was glaring something horrible.

"...Susan?" Goku snorted, then laughed.

"Urusai! Mutter a word of this to the monk or the kappa and you die!"

"More tea? *heart*"

"Urusai!!!"

"Ano...seen Chibi-chan?"

"I heard her, and I was looking for her--"

"Have another tea biscuit, Susan! *heart*" Rinrin shoved the tea biscuit in Susan's mouth.

"Mmph!!!"

"..." Goku decided Susan wouldn't be much of a help, so he walked away.

Susan swallowed down the tea biscuit. "Hey! Bakazaru! Get back here! Save me!!!"
