Threshie: Chapter five! *_*
Rufus: *Sweatdrops* Inexperienced authors… *Sighs and shakes head sadly*
Threshie: ^^;; Hiyas again! Back to the kawaiiness! Will the chibis give the makeup to Tasuki? Will he believe that its really Tomo's? Will the chibis dare Tasuki to do something horribly embarrassing? Will--
Rufus: That's enough… *Looks bored* You'd better get to the fic.
Threshie: *Sighs* I have such an unenthusiastic Muse…
Rufus: So sue me--you're writing about chibis, here. Chibis from an anime. If you wanted an enthusiastic fanfiction Muse, you shouldn't have chosen an OC.
Threshie: *Sweatdrops* Anywayz, on to the fic! ^^;; Hope you like it thus far--I've still got ideas! ^^V

Chibified Escapades: My Other Umbrella Is A Kasa… 9/14/2002
Mallory York/Threshie
Inside Kouji's tent back in the Suzaku group's camp, a kasa on the floor twitched slightly. Rustling was heard beneath it, followed by two tiny, high chibi voices:
"ITAI! That was my toe! Baka! Owie…"
"Gomen, no da. It's dark in here, no da…" The kasa rustled once more, and finally the edge of it lifted enough for a chibi head of pale blue fluff to poke out, a single, slanted eye observing that there was no one there but them. "Come on, no da--let's go and finish the dare!"
"Hai," came the other voice. The kasa very suddenly flipped over, rolling around a bit to stop a little ways away. Chibi Kouji gave a victory sign, grinning widely, "Dahaha!"
"No more cackles, no da," chibi Chichiri groaned, collecting up tubes of makeup from the floor, "Here, no da, you carry some, too."
"Okay," the tiny bandit smiled cheerily, snagging two of the makeup tubes and wrapping a chibi arm around each. "Gen-chan banzai!" Chibi Chichiri sweatdropped and sighed, shaking his head and picking up the kasa from the floor to carry along with them. He's obsessed, no da… Both chibis dutifully marched to the tent's door, the tiny monk tugging the door flap aside enough for them both to exit the shelter. Outside, chibi Chichiri remembered with dismay that it had been raining.
"If Gen-chan's out here, he's not happy…" Chibi Kouji commented, glancing around the muddy trail for some sign of a more shallow route to Tasuki's tent.
"Da--here, no da!" Chibi Chichiri plopped the kasa over both of their heads, snagging the ties to use as 'reins' and drag it along. The rim got muddy, but the chibis didn't get rained on that way. Chibi Kouji grinned.
"So easy! Gen-chan wa genki desu when he sees this, ne?"
Chibi Chichiri giggled slightly, shaking his head, "Iie! Tasuki-san will probably throw a fit--he wanted Headband-sama, no da!"
Chibi Kouji shifted the makeup tubes to one arm so that he could reach up and hang onto his precious headband protectively with the other, "Iie!"
"Da!/Oof!" Both chibis cried in unison, tumbling into a small heap as the kasa came to an abrupt halt. They'd crashed into something. Chibi Chichiri sweatdropped; the one downside to using the kasa, besides it getting muddy, was that they couldn't see where they were going at all.
"Itaiii," chibi Kouji mumbled, crawling back to his feet and dragging the chibi monk after him, "What happened?"
"We hit a rock or something, no da," chibi Chichiri answered, frowning a bit. "We have to back up, no da."
"Hai hai!" The chibi bandit agreed, choosing one side of the kasa and grabbing hold of the tie on that side, "Grab hold!"
"Hai, no da," chibi Chichiri grabbed the other tie, slinging it over his shoulder and tugging backward with all his might.
"Chichiri-chan…?" Chibi Kouji asked, tugging on the tie and kicking up mud in his efforts to get the kasa moving again.
"H…hai, no da?" The tiny monk asked, yanking on the tie on his side. Suddenly, the kasa popped free of whatever had been holding it, sliding through the mud for a good five feet and dragging the unfortunate chibis along with it. "Daaaa…" Chibi Chichiri groaned, looking like a chibi mud-monster with his single, slanted eye the only visible part of him through the mess. Several bubbles came out of the mud-puddle to his right, then chibi Kouji crawled out of the brown pool, scaring the chibi monk considerably. "DAAA!"
"It's me, Chichiri-chan!" Chibi Kouji blinked, mud dripping off of his hair, and a big white grin shone through the muck. "Dahaha--this reminds me of that mudfight the Reikaku guys got in down near that river! Poor Gen-chan… Dahahaha…"
Chibi Chichiri sweatdropped, washing off a small portion of his head, and asked in an exasperated manner, "What were you saying, no da?" Chibi Kouji paused, blinking, then grinned again.
"I was just wondering why, if the kasa's a magic teleportation device, we didn't just use it to get to Gen-chan's tent?" Chibi Chichiri blinked, then a huge sweatdrop dripped down his head, washing him off entirely.
"Daaaa…" He poked two chubby index fingers together, staring down at them in embarrassment. "I…didn't really think of that, no da."
"Dahaha!" Chibi Kouji flopped back down into the more shallow mud, grinning widely and appearing right at home with being filthy. "Well, now we have to walk--otherwise the kasa'll be left out here in the weather, ne?"
The tiny monk sighed, "Hai--why didn't you say something earlier, no da?" Chibi Kouji laughed again at this.
"I thought there must've been a good reason! Dahaha--guess I shouldn't assume anything, ne?"
"…." Chibi Chichiri was too busy looking embarrassed to reply. Giggling again, the chibi bandit grabbed hold of the muddy kasa tie again and waited for the tiny monk to follow suit.
"Oi!" He cried, when chibi Chichiri didn't notice, "Aren't we going to go finish the dare?"
The chibi monk looked up, then smiled slightly, "Da, gomen! Let's go, no da!" Tugging on the kasa's ties, the chibi duo (Threshie: Can't help thinking of a chibi GW Duo Maxwell, lol. ^^;; Rufus: *Frowns* Stop with the ANs! Threshie: Hey, this's the first one this chapter, Rufie! Rufus: *Twitch* Threshie: ^^V Read on, and gomen for the interruption!) managed to drag the kasa to Tasuki's tent door, peering out from under the edge every few moments to ensure that they were staying on course. "Da," chibi Chichiri sighed in relief, crawling muddily out from underneath the hat after they had reached their destination, "Tasuki-san's just inside, no da…" Chibi Kouji smiled sweetly, hazel eyes sparkling.
"Chichiri-chan?"
"Hai?" The chibi monk asked tiredly, not bothering to look up.
"What if Gen-chan's not here?"
Chibi Chichiri blinked, "Nani yo? He has to be--it's raining out, no da!"
"Maybe he's in somebody else's tent, talking to them," chibi Kouji suggested innocently, clutching both hands behind his back and leaning forward slightly. The heavy rain had already washed the mud off, and now the chibi bandit was totally soaked, but clean at least.
"Daaaa," chibi Chichiri wiped drooping bangs out of his single eye, sighing, "Then we'll use my kasa like it's supposed to be used--for teleportation, and not as a rain hat, no da!" Chibi Kouji 'dahaha-ed' a bit at this comment, grabbing up two muddy makeup tubes and making tiny, chibi boot tracks for Tasuki's tent door.
"Let's go finish this so I can go back to bed, then!"
"Hai, no da," the chibi monk said resolutely, carrying his own two makeup tubes and dragging the muddy kasa behind him by a single, equally muddy tie. The other tie trailed through the mud behind the hat, seeming to slither like a snake, but neither chibi paid it any heed, as they stumbled through Tasuki's tent door and flopped down onto the ground in a rather undignified heap, having at last reached their goal. Tasuki-san…I win…no da!
