Chapter 2: The insanity begins….

     (Yay! Chapter 2's up!! ^_^ It's not nearly as weird as Chapter 1, mainly because I wrote it in Algebra class (which is so damn boring!!)…Well, anyways, I've got a few notes to keep anyone from getting confused if I do the name switching too much….   Abby=Chichiri. Nat=Tasuki. There! All done!! *Runs off to do more fic stuff*)

     "Oww, my head…" Abby sat up, rubbing a sore spot on her head. "What the….? WHERE AM I?!?!" She wasn't in her living room any more. She was in a forest, and as to where the forest was and how she got there was a mystery. "Nat?" She looked quickly around for Nat, not realizing that she had somehow changed into Chichiri.

     Nat sat up from a clump of nearby bushes when she heard her name being called. "I'm here. Whaddya want?" She saw Chichiri, looking confused and slightly scared, and her eyes widened in surprise. "DA FUCK?!? Ch-Chichiri?" She noticed a definite change of voice, and after a quick deduction, found out that she had turned into Tasuki. "WHAT THE FUCKIN' HELL'S GOIN' ON?!!!?"

     Chichiri noticed her, and then tilted his head slightly, thinking. "Da? Tasuki?" Then, to her horror, Nat saw Chichiri grin, the kind of insane grin that rabid fangirls have when they see their favorite characters. Before Nat could say anything, Chichiri shrieked "TASUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!" at the top of his lungs and charged her, grabbing her in a psycho fangirl hug and burying his face in her coat, ranting at how he loved Tasuki even more than Tomo, and her extreme addiction to Tomo.

     At the comments on Tomo, Nat realized something. It was Chichiri, no doubt about it, but he sounded like Abby, with the Tomo and Tasuki ranting….

     "Uh…. Abby?"

     Chichiri stopped in mid-sentence, looking confused, but happy. "You KNOW my name, na no da? Wow…."

     "Abby, it's me, Nat, but I'm in Tasuki's body…." She grinned "And in case if you haven't noticed, YOU'RE in Chichiri's body!!"

     "Really?" Chichiri looked, and realized the freaky truth. "Oh, crap, no da…. This is bad…"

     "Oh, good Suzaku save us all…" came a voice from nearby "WHAT are you two doing? Are you…. uh…yeah…?" to the surprise of the two fangirls, Tamahome emerged, looking at them strangely. "Chichiri, why are you hugging Tasuki?"

     Abby realized that she still had her arms around Nat. She quickly removed them and stood up straight, blushing furiously.

     "Er… no, I wasn't… I tripped, and grabbed Tasuki to keep from falling, no da…."

     "Riiiiight…" Tamahome rolled his eyes, obviously not believing Chichiri's story. "Well, Miaka's nearly frantic, ever since you two randomly ran off two hours ago…" He shook his head, frowning slightly. "You run off, doing who knows what, and I don't want to hear what you've been doing…." He turned and started to come back the way he came. "Now, come on. Let's get back with everyone else…."

     "Hey Miaka!" Tamahome called out as they cleared the forest. "I found them!!" They had emerged out onto a large road, where Miaka and Nuriko were waiting for them. Miaka looked worried, but brightened up when she saw Tamahome, and Nuriko looked annoyed.

     "Oh good! I was getting scared! Why'd you two run off?" Miaka smiled at Abby and Nat. Nuriko just glared at the two, angry at having to be left alone with Miaka for more than five minutes. (A.N: Yes, I hate Miaka… Just to let ya know!!)

     "Oh, umm…." Nat thought of an answer, but Abby managed to cut in first.

     "We thought we saw a Seriyuu spy in the woods, so we chased him, no da… But he got away, na no da…."

     "So, that's why you two were hugging each other back there in the forest?" asked Tamahome, glaring at Chichiri and Tasuki.

     Miaka's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What? You two were hugging?"

     WHAP!! Before Tamahome could say more, Abby had gotten mad and smacked Tamahome in the head with her jingle-staff. "Daaaa!! We weren't hugging, you baka!!! I tripped on a rock, no da!!" Nat nodded in silent agreement, not wanting Abby to get worked up more than she already was. She was scary when angered…

     "Ow!!" Tamahome stumbled as he was hit in the head full-force. Rubbing his head where he got hit, he glared at Chichiri. "Geez, you don't have to get so worked up about it…."

     "Well, ya don't have ta keep pesterin' us about it!" Nat glared at Tamahome. "Chichiri tripped over a fuckin' rock, okay? How many times do we hafta tell ya that?!"

     Nuriko laughed and blushed girlishly. "Hee hee! I wish I could trip over a rock and fall into my darling Hotohori's arms!!" He burst into giggles at the thought of it, while everyone else sweatdropped.

     Abby shook her head. "You go do that, no da…"

     Miaka stared at Chichiri in shock. He hit Tamahome. Of all people, he was one of the last people she'd expect to see hit Tamahome. However, she laughed when Nuriko mentioned tripping over a rock into Hotohori's arms. "Hee hee…. That sounds like something you'd do, Nuriko."

     Nat laughed for a moment, and then scratched her head. "Uh…. Where da fuck are we going' again?"

     Miaka, Tamahome, and Nuriko all facepalmed. Leave it to Tasuki to not remember what they're doing. Abby, meanwhile looked almost as clueless as Nat did at the moment.

     "Baka…." Miaka muttered. "We're going to a Konan/Kuto border city to investigate some weird things that have been going on there…"

     "Da?" Chichiri tilted his head, looking almost as confused as Tasuki did. "What kind of strange things, no da?"

     Nuriko gave Chichiri a weird look, but described the series of events, mainly a series of murders. He went on describing at how some spies have reported that Nakago has been seen there, and they were off to stop him, at whatever cost.

     Nat tilted her head, confused. "And just HOW th' fuckin' hell are we gonna sneak in there if he's there?"

     "You mean you forgot the ENTIRE plan?!" Miaka stared at Chichiri and Tasuki in wonder. Tasuki she could understand forgetting everything, but Chichiri? Something was definitely wrong… "Um, well, we disguise ourselves as merchants or farmers, and we try to get info, ad then stop him, if you know what I mean…"

     "Geez, how can you two forget such a simple plan?!" Tamahome rolled his eyes. "Or were you two just too damn busy making cow eyes at each other?"

     This time it was Nat who hit Tamahome. "Watch it, Tama-boy…" she growled, glaring at Tamahome. "Or I'm gonna hafta kick your ass…"

     Tamahome rubbed his head and glared at Tasuki, but he decided to drop it after seeing the look in Tasuki's eyes. "Sorry…" he muttered, staring at the ground.

     Miaka shook her head. Today was definitely strange. First Tasuki and Chichiri run off, then Tamahome gets them, and they're acting weird, and He's convinced that they're gay. Oh well. She had to deal with it… "Um, so what do you two think of the plan?"

     Nat nodded. "Sounds good t' me…"

     Abby, however, shook her head. "Daa… That sounds like something from a cheesy spy movi-OW!!"

     Nat had kicked Abby in the leg to shut her up before she could reveal too much. Giving a strained smile, she grabbed Abby by the back of the collar and muttered through clenched teeth, "Excuse us…" as she dragged Abby off out of everyone's earshot, everyone else staring blankly after them.

     "Are you crazy?" Nat whispered furiously at Abby. "Do you want them to find out about us?!"

     "Sorry…" Abby whispered back as she nervously chewed a fingernail. "I forgot, na no da. I promise I won't do it again…" he stopped chewing her nail and glanced back at Tamahome. "What are we gonna do about Tamahome, no da?"

     "Ignore him and his ranting. Besides, he's harmless. And besides, we'll hopefully get out of here soon…"

     Abby nodded. "Yeah, I hope so. I'm gonna have to write a fic about this when I get back!"

     Nat smiled. "Yeah! That sounds cool!" She skipped off back to the rest of the group, Abby right behind her.

     "Shall we get going, no da?" Abby smiled a kawaii-little Chichiri smile at Miaka, trying to make her forget the blunder.

     Miaka nodded, staring at Chichiri. Why was he acting so weird? It was like he was someone else… She shook off the notion, though. "Okay! Let's go!"

     Nuriko rolled his eyes and smiled. "Finally! I thought we were never going to get this over with!!"

     Miaka nodded, and she and Nuriko set off, Tamahome, Abby, and Nat lagging behind. Tamahome glanced mischievously at Nat and Abby.

     "So, what were you two lovebirds talking about? Eloping plans?"

     Nat whipped out her Tessen. Tamahome had gone too far. "REKKA SHINEN!!" Flames shot out and naturally, fried Tamahome. Nat feigned a look of innocence.

     "Oh, sorry Tamahome. There was a bug on your shoulder…" Laughing, she ran to catch up with Miaka and Nuriko, leaving Abby behind with Tamahome. Abby's eyebrow twitched slightly, and she half-glared, half-smiled at Tamahome.

     "Well, I guess that's what you guess when you keep hounding Tasuki on things like that, no da…" She bent over and offered Tamahome a hand to help him up, which he gratefully accepted. "Daa, you okay?"

     Tamahome brushed himself off, and eyed Chichiri out of the corner of his eye. "Yeah, I'm fine…" He turned and stared at Chichiri curiously. He was acting so weird. He wondered what it was, but dismissed it as a side effect of being caught with Tasuki.

     "Hey, Chichiri?"

     "Da?"

     "Are you and Tasuki….really…?" he was going to get the truth, no matter what. Even if it involved spying and other dirty tricks, but he felt akward asking Chichiri directly.

     "Gay?" Abby finished for him. "Nope…." She shook her head, a faint trace of a smile appearing. "Trust me: We're not. There are just too many fangirls out there, no da."

     Smiling, Abby turned and quickly strode off to catch up with everyone else, leaving a very confused Tamahome behind. Fangirls? What were they? He pondered it, and only snapped back into reality until after Chichiri had turned around the bend.

     "Hey! Wait up!" He called out as he chased everyone else down. Once he caught up, they continued on their quest to find and defeat Nakago….
