Can't believe how many people commented on the Peeps, both off and on ff.net. ^___^ Seems like everyone had a fun story to share! Many thanks! *Bounces*

"Nice uh..." Akako raised an eyebrow as she looked the tall teen up and down "...coat, Hakuba-kun."
"Thank you." Hakuba said with a great deal of dignity as the wind caught his deerstalker, causing it to billow out around him. "I was running late this morning and couldn't find my normal one."
"You were up late studying how to catch the Kid, weren't you?" Aoko sighed. Kaito snickered from beside her.
"Yes." Hakuba admitted, casting a glare towards the magician who was calmly walking behind him. Kaito just grinned back. After all, it wasn't HIS fault that the British Detective was so obsessed with capturing the Phantom Thief.
The wind howled past them again, causing them to huddle into their jackets a bit. The winds were strong today and everyone was grateful for the warmth of their coats.
"It flares out rather dramatically." Akako noted, walking along Kaito's other side.
"He does have an overblown sense of dramatics, yes." Kaito agreed. "And with the winds today, I won't even have to flip Aoko's skirt, it'll do it for me."
"Hey!" Aoko glared as he chuckled. "That's it, you're not walking behind me today!" He grinned and didn't point out that he usually walked -beside- her.
"Hmmm..." Akako made a thoughtful sound, pressing a finger tip against her lips as she watched Hakuba walk several metres in front of him.
Kaito raised a suspicious eyebrow. "You're not thinking what I think you're thinking... are you?"
She grinned.
"Uh-oh."
"What?" Aoko asked.
"Don't do it." Kaito advised.
"Yes, but he has the most lovely reactions." She sighed lustfully. She paused a moment before raising an eyebrow in Kaito's direction. "Of course, if someone -else- did it, he'd probably keel over in shock."
Aoko looked confused. "Do what?"
Kaito raised an eyebrow, walking along in silence for a moment. Aoko looked between the two of them, her confusion growing. She could sense trouble brewing, she just knew it. "Do WHAT?"
"... Only because you pinch." Kaito finally decided.
Akako smirked. "Lesser of two evils?"
"Exactly."
"Kaito?" Aoko looked wary as a slow maniacal grin grew across Kaito's face, and he bounced on the balls of his feet a few times, as if doing a little streaching before a race. He charged towards the detective. "KAITO!"
:: FLIP! :: Up went the trench coat.
"GNEEEEEEEEEeee!!!" Hakuba made the most interesting sound as he jumped, his spine going rigid in shock.
Akako howled with laughter as Kaito took off like a shot, pelting towards the school.
"KAITOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Aoko bellowed, a mop suddenly appearing in her hand as she chased after.
Hakuba put an arm out in front of her, stopping her charge. "Allow me." He said politely, taking the mop from her hands and handing her his book bag.
"KUROBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Mop raised above his head like a spear, Hakuba took off after the laughing thief as if he were a knight in shining armour chasing after a rouge.
Aoko blinked, surprised for a moment, then took off after them, waving both book bags. "GET HIM, HAKUBA-KUN!" She cheered.
Akako followed at a more sedate pace, laughing her head off.

Written while wandering around running errands in the rain. Was most amusing watching the water evaporate off the street in huge billowing clouds of steam faster than it came down. (yes, it does occasionally rain in LA)

Question for people:
We just got a new Livejournal that is currently being used as a ficblog, meaning that we have been more productive lately with fics, boosting our backlog of un-posted fics to about 15 stories. And with this story, 'Crazy Aunty Icka's Slightly Strange Short Stories' is now up to 22 fics.
Thinking this could get a bit cumbersome very quickly, and very daunting to any new readers, who don't get it as a new story every few days, but as a massive pile of ficcage.
So what would be easier for you guys as readers? Create a new 'Slightly Strange Short Stories' title on ff.net once we reach a certain point, like 25 or 30 fics? Or simply continue posting them under this name?
Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Thanks!
