Chapter 11
Sailing For Adventure
"Well come on then what are ya waiting for?" Tasuki said as he jumped off the horses back and tackled the man with the stone. "Tasuki wai--okay a little late there..." Tamahome started but then realized that it was hopeless. "Ah ha!" Tasuki yelled out in triumph as he stood up with the stone in hand. "Tasuki, get off the old man and give him his rock back" Tamahome sighed. "NO WAY AFTER WE WENT ALL THIS WAY TO--" Tamahome was pointing at the stone which actually was, as he said, a regular rock. "I knew I should've told you that I think we would know when one of our stones is near." Tamahome said. "Yea, it would've helped." Tasuki sweatdropped.
(okay her name is no Chibiusa instead of Rinko okies ;)
Chibiusa and Chichiri were heading their way back to the horses since their hour had been up to find two of the three groups there, which would be Chiriko and Mitsukake, and Hotohori and Nuriko. "I guess were only missing one group now." Nuriko pointed out. "Doesn't surprise me, no da" Chichiri answered. Soon the noise of the two coming could be heard and everyone was again gathered together.
They thought about the way that they were going at this and then they knew that they should just travel around till they feel something. The problem for them was that the next place to search was across the ocean and they would need a boat to get there. Naturally, Hotohori was the one who came up with the boat that had many accessories needed or sea travel. This made it easier than swimming, obviously. The boat slowly sailed in to the closest dock and everybody boarded it as they gazed at how the gloss shined the wood and made it seem like it would be even more enjoyable than everybody thought it to be. The sea voyage would also take about a week, sea travel wasn't the fastest method but it got them there.
Chibiusa's feet lightly tapped the wood as she took her first step onto the large boat. The small tap was soon followed by another one, then others after that indicating that everyone else was getting on too. "It's really nice." Chibiusa said and then gave Hotohori a soft smile, which made him blush. Her hair was shining the light and it seemed long and flowing with a slight good-looking sort of fluff to it, like feathers. "A boat," Chibiusa ran her hand against the rim. "this reminds me of something." A picture flashed in her head and then faded out. "a...boat...no a gondola." (Referring to the boats that they flew in, in the Super S movies, I think they were called gondolas, deshou) Chibiusa then collapsed to her knees and then put a hand to her head.
Hotohori had been keeping an eye on her actions, and Nuriko had been too later on, and when she fell they were the first two to come to her side, soon to be followed by Tasuki and then everybody else. "Chibi are you all right?!" Hotohori asked with a slight amount of fear in his voice. "Come on Chi, stay with us here." Nuriko then added, but Chibiusa would not answer to their calls all she could think about the thumping pain that was ringing throughout her head. 'Is this what remembering is like? Why does it hurt to know?' The pounding got more intense with each "thump". Chibiusa had her eyes closed tightly and small beads of sweat began to form as everybody's questions about her state were still lingering but sounded like muffling to her.
It was then that the pounding suddenly stopped and her eyes slowly began to open. "Am I..." Chibiusa started, and then paused. "okay?" It was an odd sort of question; it seemed more like she was asking herself. She removed her hand from her head and some of her hair stuck to it as she turned around to see her whole "crew" there with her. "'Are you okay?', what a stupid question." Tasuki stated and then turned his head away. "Actually, Tasuki, no question in the world is stupid." Chiriko said matter-of-factly. "Suddap you brat!" Tasuki shoved his hand into his head. "OWWW" Chiriko exclaimed as small tears formed in his eyes. "Okay, okay that's enough Tasuki, leave him alone now." Nuriko said while separating the two.
Chibiusa watched them as she wiped off her face and then turned back to the rim of the boat before running her hand across the rim for one last time. "You sure you're okay Chi?" Nuriko asked again as he looked at her. "Yea we wouldn't wanna carry you around everywhere." Tasuki added. "I could give you some herbs if you still have some slight pounding in your head." Mitsukake then offered her. "No," she answered as she looked down at the water. "you guys are too much." She then smiled faintly at them as her eyes glimmered, matching the waters gleam. She then looked around at her new weekly surroundings. "I may need to lie down a bit if that's okay..." She trailed off. "Yes, it would be fine." Hotohori then smiled at her and told her a place where she could lie down on the boat while it was in voyage.
"There is something wrong with her." Nuriko said right after she left. "We just don't know what." Mitsukake added on to Nuriko's statement. "She probably just needs to lie down, like she said, for awhile." Hotohori finished. "Time is the only thing that can heal wounds." Chiriko said and then started to walk away as the group slowly began to walk to different sections on the boat.
Chibiusa still remained on the bed looking up at the wood that made up the ceiling. "Its weird isn't mom?" She started talking. It seemed like she was talking to herself, either that or no one in particular, like she was trying to tell somebody something, somebody who wasn't there. "How I got caught up in all of this, I mean." Chibiusa rolled over on her bed. "You lie, silent there before me. Your tears, they mean nothing to me." She softly sang in her bed until she fell asleep.
"Okay now!" Tasuki burst through the door. "Time to get up Chi!" Nuriko chanted while going over to her bed and banging a wooden spoon on a pot from the kitchen. Hotohori was next to then pop in. "I'm so sorry they made us all come." Hotohori laughed nervously while Chibiusa was still under the sheets in her bed. She then poked her head out and was now glaring at Nuriko. "No, no now that won't work on me" Nuriko said while shaking his head. Chibiusa still said nothing but instead grabbed the pot and spoon from Nuriko's hands and took them under the sheets with her. "How am I gonna make breakfast." Nuriko then pouted. "What! Chibiusa give those pans back now!" Tasuki went over and started to pull on her sheets. "You don't need them, you can starve for a day, and you'll get fat anyways." She then tried to go soundly back to sleep. "Come on now you should get up." Nuriko pulled the sheets off of her head to find her sleeping. She looked so cute when she was sleeping though, she was like a porcelain doll silently sitting there, he cheeks were the perfect shade of pink and her lips were the color of the sunset, right before it was gone and the sky was all pink and orange, her skin also looked delicate and soft. Nuriko blushed lightly. Chibiusa then realized that the sheets were off of her and opened an eye to see Nuriko hovering beside her bed. "Okay everybody" She admitted. "I guess I'll get up." She yawned and then walked over to her clothes. Everybody was watching her "...well if you're not going to let me dress then I'll just go back asleep." She then quickly shooed them all out of the room so that she could put on her daily clothes and then go outside as she was asked.
Chibiusa yawned as she stepped out the door and yawned one last time as the sun dawned upon
