The Importance of Rules

"Granddaughter, have you seen my warbling box anywhere?"
"Box in room? No, Shampoo no touch box. Maybe Mousse?"
"Perhaps.. I hope I simply misplaced it, rather than have him do anything
with it."
"Need help finding box, yes?"
"No, I'll ask Mousse, though I have the sinking suspicion he did something to
it."
"Okay, Grandmother."
Cologne hopped away on her walking stick, heading towards the blind boy
she knew was downstairs cleaning the floors. The Box... Why she'd brought
it with her, she didn't know, but the tribes-members that had watched her
take it had hidden their grateful looks behind good-byes, and "come home
soon's." If Mousse had messed with it, Nerima, if not Tokyo, was in danger.
But she wasn't worried. She was too old to worry; too experienced.
Cologne hopped a little faster.
Mousse was, indeed scrubbing the floor, and, Cologne noted, doing a pretty
good job of taking off the scuff marks and dried ramen from the past day's
crowd.
"Boy. Have you seen my Warbling Box?" She asked, carefully.
Mousse stood, and turned in the direction of her voice.
"I don't think so. Where was it?"
Cologne frowned, and responded simply "It was in my room."
"Oh. No, then. The only thing I took from your room was the Garbage."
Cologne bristled, and smacked Mousse on the head with her walking stick,
managing to do so quickly enough to get it back under her before she began
to fall.
"Foolish boy! Nothing in my room is garbage! What did you do with it?"
Mousse, rubbing his head, pointed outside, across the street at the dumpster.
Cologne sighed, and hopped out the door, her worry turning to dread. As she
approached, she spotted the box atop a pile of broken boards, the lid ajar.
She peeked inside, and frowned, finding nothing. Looking up at the stars,
she hoped the night would be peaceful, because soon, all-too-soon, she
knew that Nerima was in much danger, now.
"I'm Home!" Ranma called, walking in the door of the Tendo Household.
"We're in here, Ranma." Called Kasumi, from the dining area. Ranma
slipped out if his shoes, and made his way to the dining room, hoping to
see Akane there.
Akane, at the same time, was waiting for Ranma to round the corner.
They'd parted ways after school that day, and she was wondering where
he'd been all day. As Ranma finally came into view, she noticed he
looked kinda nervous.
"Ahh... Akane? Can you come here for a moment? I have something I
want to show you, but can't right here."
Nabiki quirked a brow at that, but said nothing. Akane opened her
mouth to protest, but shut it, before climbing to her feet and walking
over to Ranma. If he was planning something perverted, she decided,
let him make the first move.
Following Ranma outside, she watched him walk over to a tree in the
yard, and pull something out of the branches. Something small and white.
"Here.. I wanted to give you something for.... Scaring away P-Chan."
He said. She frowned a little as she thought she heard him say
something more under his breath, but shrugged, and walked over to him.
What is it, Ranma? It's a bit dark out here." She said, peering into the
night to see what it was Ranma held.
"I know, but somehow, this thing doesn't like the light. I was thinking it
might be... umm.. a night-thing. Whatever those kinds of animals are;
like Bats." He moved towards her, and held the small animal out to her,
carefully.
"Oh! It's so cute! Thanks Ranma!" Akane said loudly, reaching out to take
the little creature. It was cute, too. A small, bipedal creature with large
hairless ears, and brown and white fur covering it's head and body. It's
small beak-like mouth, as well as the small fingers and toes were
hairless, like it's ears, and it's eyes were huge, and warm, staring at
Akane with an almost childlike curiosity.
"What is it, Ranma? Where'd you get it?"
"I dunno. It was just wandering around, like it was looking for something.
It looked harmless enough, so I figured you might like it. As for what it
is.. It keeps saying something weird... 'Mog..' Mog-something."
As if understanding, the creature in Akane's arms looked at Ranma, and
gave a little smile, before saying, in a cute voice, "Mogwai."
AN: Another story started. Oh well. Hopefully this is original enough to gain some interest, and help me get back on the road to writing again. Tannim's been away so long, I haven't a clue when the next Chapter of Selves Inserted will come out, and Trials of the Heart has been put on Hold due to personal reasons. So I figured, 'why not this?'
