(rubbish author note: read if interested): seemed to STOP me from using the old brackets (which was easier to see).....so i'm sticking with -- and --........ TT.TT

Hikaru: --yawns-- Akari…your van is like, totally slow…

Waya: that's true, I agree with Shindou this time.

Hikaru: any way to make it go faster?

Akari: Sure…just pull that handle --points to handle-- but just don't pull it all the wa—

Hikaru: --too late, pulls handle all the way down--

Van: --zooms off into the distance and......-- CRASH!!

Akari: now look what you've done!

Isumi: lets buy a carriage…get there the traditional way.

Akari: alright…but Hikaru has to pay……

Hikaru: what?! You didn't give clear instructions.

Minty: and so the story starts……

Diaclaimer: Hikago belongs to Hotta Yumi and Obata Takeshi, CCS belongs to Clamp….the other fairytales belong to me……nah…just joking…they belong to the people who died few hundred years ago…

Warning: slang, insanity, and shounen-ai…

You must know wt's in the brackets and stuff by now….so I'll skip

Sleeping Aki

Scene 4: Fairytale land

Our heroes are in their new carriage with the new driver, called…um….Yashiro! (took me a long time to figure that out.)

"I'm hungry!" whined Hikaru.

"shut up, Shindou, we'll arrive in town soon to satisfy your enormous appetite." Waya sighed and leaned back in his seat.

Soon, they heard sobbing and wailing. As Hikaru poked his head out of the window, he saw 7 short people surrounding a glass coffin, with its lid open. Inside was a girl around 18, her face was as white as a sheet of paper, her hair was unnaturally black, and her lips looked like blood…

"AHH! A ghost!!" cried Hikaru as he curled himself up. 'wait a minute, Sai's a ghost, why am I scared?'

The carriage stopped and the 5, including Yashiro stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the crying bunch of dwarves.

"Is one of you a prince by any chance?" asked one of the dwarves.

4 of them stepped back, leaving Hikaru to stand face to face, or should that be face to knee with the dwarf.

"This is Snow White," said the dwarf, sniffing, "she is dead, poisoned by eating an apple! Now, only the kiss of a prince could bring her back to life…"

Hikaru looked at snow white for a moment, then he slowly bent down.

"Shindou, you're not really going to kiss her, are you?" asked Waya. "what about Touya?"

"I'm not kissing her, I'm just studying how she can make that bloody red colour on her mouth." Hikaru stood up and began to walk away. "Her mouth probably stinks too."

The moment he turned his head, Hikaru was hit with an apple core.

"Ow! Who threw that?!" Hikaru spun around to find snow white sitting in her coffin pouting.

"What do you expect? I've been lying here for months with no toothbrush!!"

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?"

"the prince who woke me up abandoned me."

"I wonder why…" muttered Hikaru which made everyone else who heard it snicker.

"I put make up on and pretend to be dead, but everyone who saw me fled."

"Have you noticed that your skin freaks people out?"

"Haven't thought of that, thanks."

"Why do you want to be rescued anyway? You're alive!"

Snow White's voice dropped to a whisper, "You think doing chores everyday for 7 dwarves are fun? The birds' chirping is driving me insane! I'm a princess, I deserve better!"

The gang left snow white to return to their carriage and continued their Journey to Akira. After a while, they arrived at a small town, ate, and slept and the nearby hotel.

Next day Yashiro woke everyone up by kicking them out of bed. Then they started on their journey again.

"I'll HUFF, and I'll PUFF! And I'll blow your housee DOWN!!" came a loud rough voice.

"Not by the hair of our chinny-chin-chin!" cried three squeakier voices.

"Shut UP! I'm trying to sleep in here!!" cried Hikaru as he threw a soda can as hard as he can towards the source of noise.

"ARGH!!" The wolf was hit in the head and died.

The three annoying little pigs ran out and stopped the carriage, "thank you for rescuing us, can we do anything for you?"

"How about some pork Ramen?" asked a very sleepy Hikaru.

"Er….Shindou? You shouldn't ask them that." Waya kicked Hikaru in the shin.

"OW! Why? They don't have Ramen?"

"No, BAKA, they're PIGS!!"

"oh…so how 'bout some other types of food??" Hikaru turned to the pigs, but they have already run far away to live their happy lives. "tsk….talk about being rude…."

The carriage continued to run, on the way, they ignored 2 children by the name of Hansel and Gretel who were trying to hitch-hike, knocked a rabbit dead and earned a scream from Alice, ran past a bloody Jack as the giant squashed him dead.

"hey look!" pointed Isumi, "It's Cinderella!"

"And she left her shoe on the stairs."

"GET A GRIP CINDERELLA!" shouted Hikaru, "if the shoe fitted you perfectly, why did it fall off?!"

"I bet she just wants the prince to notice!"

"and where'd you get that dress?"

"My fairy-god mother gave it to me…"

Kurata appeared and narrowly missed squashing Cinderella as he fell, "she doesn't have a fairy god mother…"

"FINE!" cried Cinderella, "I stole it from that idiot next door!"

gasps came from behind Cinderella, the whole crowd are behind her. The prince blinked twice and turned to Cinderella's sisters, "ugly sisters, will you marry me??"

"NOOO!!!" cried Cinderella as she fell down and broke her leg.

Everyone in the carriage shrugged and drove onwards.

"What kind of card is "the Go"?" asked a confused girl. There were 4 people in front of the carriage, they spotted the carriage and asked to hitchhike.

"who're you?" asked Akari, who haven't said anything for a while.

"My name is Kinomoto Sakura," said the brown haired-green eyed girl.

"Daidouji Tomoyo" said a girl with long violet hair and eyes (the eyes are violet, not long)

"Hiragazawa Eriol" said a Harry Potter lookalike.

"Li Syaoran" said a boy with brown hair and brown eyes.

"What kind of name is that?" asked Waya.

"EXCUSE ME?!" said a shocked Sakura.

"not you!"

"mean me?" asked tomoyo

"no.."

"me?" Eriol pointed to himself.

"NO!! I mean YOU, kid."

No reactions whatsoever from Syaoran.

"whatever…where are you guys going?"

"Um….we're getting off at Disney land."

So they went to Disney land. 5 minutes later, a giant mickey mouse and Donald duck stood in front of them. The hitchhikers got off and the carriage turn around.

"Did you ever wonder," asked Akari, "that Donald duck doesn't wear any trousers but he wraps a towel around himself when he gets out of the tub??"

Everyone sweat dropped and didn't answer.

After one long day of riding in a stuffy carriage, they finally arrived at the castle Akira was in.
