Season of Tears
Chapter Three: Birds and Stars
Walking into the village, Nobuko's and Chichiri's happily chattering voices wafted through the night air, filling the area with a sudden warmth. And receiving some yells from those already in bed.
Making sure to keep her voice low, Nobuko was talking about a bird she'd found.
"You shoulda seen it! It was soo cuuuute!" She laughed happily, "Tiiiny little baby birdie, with blue feathers aaaall over and it had red wing tips and these little tiny black feet with little green nails like jewels and the brightest brown eyes and then it hopped around and I watched it and watched it and I got bored so I tried to teach it to fly but it wouldn't but then the biiiig moma bird came and it started flapping it's wings and it bit me and it hurt but it was okay because it didn't really and then the moma bird took back the baby bird and.um." she paused, taking a deep breath and looked at Chichiri, who was just chattering to himself, humming some tuneless compilation of Na no da's, and, not listening in the slightest. Bored, Nobuko decided to fall on the ground. For no reason.
Chichiri was quickly knocked out of his trance when he tripped over the suddenly inert body of his close friend. "Na no daaa naaa no da na nooO!" His voice croaked in shock as he fell and hit the ground hard. ".Da." Chichiri, dazed and shaken pushed himself to his knees. "Um.Nobu-chan.uh, what are you doing?" Not getting any verbal response, he looked around for a stick, and simply began poking her with it, humming her name instead this time. "Noooobuko, Nooobuko, Nobuuuuko!"
Quickly becoming immersed in the hum and loosing sight of what he was actually doing, he kept poking her. Until he felt something sharp on his hand. Looking down, he saw Nobuko chewing on it. He stared for a moment and tried to push her off. When she wouldn't just get off he promptly fell to the ground, where the both lay for awhile, each trying to outdo the other in this contest of silence.
Finally, Nobuko broke when she had to sneeze. They both started laughing and rolling around, until a loud shout from one of the houses signaled for silence. Once again, they lay side by side for awhile, just staring up at the sky, lightly dusted with stars, but mostly filled by the full white orb.
"Chichiri?" Nobuko rolled over to face him.
"What is it na no da?" he said, turning his head. "Want to go home now, na no da?"
She bit her lip. "Do stars eat people??? " she continued to look at him, and utterly serious expression on her face. "Do they? Will you protect me from them?"
Chichiri blinked at the question, and smiled. "Stars don't eat you, na no da! In fact, they can grant your wishes, da! And even though they don't eat you, I'll protect you from whatever does, alright, no da?"
Nobuko grinned and hugged him, "Good good good! And I'll protect you too! Um.don't know how.Okay! You'll teach my your fighting stuff, and then I'll protect you too!" She smiled, having solved the minor problem.
Chichiri poked her. "You sure you can, no da? Hehe, it's hard work, da!" He stretched on the ground.
Nobuko pouted, laying her head on his stomach after poking him once. "Of course I can do it! Rr.You'll see! And then we can both be protected, so we'll be together always!" She yawned, "You'll see." eyes slowly closing, Nobuko let her head fall to the side, falling asleep.
Chichiri blew a blue strand of hair out of his face, and stared once again at the stars, comfortable with his hands behind his head and Nobuko resting against him. Soon he too slipped away, hypnotized into drowsiness by the soft glow of the night sky.
Chapter Four: Found
Rei came to the village entrance, still lost in his own thoughts and staring at the ground, pausing occasionally to lift Kira further up on his back.
Completely in another world, he didn't notice the sleeping Chichiri and Kira laying across the dirt walk. When he stubbed his toe against something soft, he snapped his head down, and could barely make out the two shapes on the ground. Squinting and leaning over further, he saw a glint of silver- blue and dark brown hair, and realized that what he thought had been travelers were Nobuko and Chichiri.
Staring for a moment, more than a little confused but not all that surprised, he tried to think of what to do. He was already tired from carrying Kira all the way home- he didn't think he could manage all three of them.He knew he couldn't! And once asleep, no one in the group woke up easily.
Well.He couldn't leave them alone.Sighing, and ignoring his lightly rumbling stomach, he slid down against a fence-post, and lay Kira down on his lap. Rubbing his eyes and stretching his arms, he settled down, prepared to keep watch the whole night.
Less then 10 minutes later, Rei was fast asleep with the rest of the group.
Notes: Nooo notes.You know, I should mention here that most likely past chapter 5 I'll be veeeery sloooow in updating.but, but keep reading! And yes! Good job if you noticed! I combined chapters four and three, simply because four is so ridiculously short.. Thaaank you, Subishi
