The Slightly-odd Adventures of Rurouni-plushies!
4: How to Avoid the Rain
Kagi-chan's note: Well.. Thank you so far minna-san(everyone)..Anou...here's the next one?
...Clouds are coming...
Sano-plushie looked up at the sky and sighed a sigh only someone completely disapointed would sigh...and indeed, he was disappointed...SO disappointed, that if he baked a cookie with his feelings, even if it was delicious, you'd feel too guilty to eat it..and if you were REALLY unlucky, all the guilt would give you suicidal felings..
But fear not, he was not disappointed at someone..he was disappointed at someTHING..
Yes my friends, Sano-plushie was disappointed at the rain-clouds..
Sano-plushie had wanted to go buy good food at the Akabeko-plushie so Kaoru-plushie would not cook, but now, no, he'd have to eat THAT cooking..
BUT THEN! Just as he turned to go in, THAT smell wafted through the air..a smell so horrible, it's like the things being burned were screaming..Sano-plushie gasped in horror at the pain, and seeing that he would soon have a similar fate, decided..what's a little rain?It's not like the rain ever hurt anyplushie...right?
Well, that's what Sano-plushie thought, and for a while, it was pretty good...the rain feel softly on the street and everything was quiet..
Sano-plushie was enjoying this rain under an umbrella when he suddenly noticed..why were the streets so empty? NOBODY was there..not even the crazy plushies that ran around with dice..Sano-plushie chuckled, remembering how foolish he once was..gambling with those cube-shaped-murderers, the dice.. AND SUDDENLY!
Sano-plushie noticed with horrified expression that a strange sloshing sound came whenever he put his foot-plushies down..
Sano-plushie turned around, determined to find out that sloshy-sound, but alas! No one was there...
Sano-plushie turned back and continued walking...
YET ONCE AGAIN! The sloshy sound started, and it followed his steps exactly..Again Sano-plushie turned, determined now to beat up whoever was annoying him, only to be disappointed at the empty street.
Now Sano-plushie was feeling uncomfortable, so he decided to experiment, just to see if it was a normal-plushie or a ghost-plushie..he hoped it was not a ghost-plushie, he was fearful of ghost-plushies...
SO THEN! Foward he walked, then backward, again it sounded. Up he hoped, and it made noise when he came down. Nothing can mimick his exact movements, so maybe it was his foot-plushies.
As if it wasn't obvious from the start, Sano-plushie looked down at his feet.
AND THERE IT WAS! Sano-plushie's feet were soggy and wet from walking in the rain. They looked like they had been through a washing machine with mud in it. Sano-plushie cursed his horrible luck at forgetting that the rain was a plushie's nightmare. He stomped all the way back home, which was hard, because the slosh of his plushie feet drowned out the stomping.
As he opened the door, he hoped noplushie would be there to see his wet feet..
But there is no good luck for Sano-plushie today is there?
Soujiro-plushie, who was playing rock-paper-scissors with Harusame-plushie looks up at the soggy sound..AND LO! He sees Sano-plushie and hopelessly tries to restrain his laughter...if it was any more hopeless, we would call it 'not-trying'..but he tried so..
Soujiro-plushie burst into laughter! And Harusame-plushie looks up at him in confusion..
Soujiro-plushie then, seeing Harusame-plushie's confusion, points to the door..
WHERE SANO-PLUSHIE IS NOT!
Harusame-plushie, in seeing nothing, turns back to a now confused Soujiro-plushie, who sits down again and apoligizes with Harusame-plushie, and insisting that there was a Sano-plushie there.
Harusame-plushie officially declares Soujiro-plushie delirious..
Unhappy with his new title, Soujiro-plushie goes around the house to find the Sano-plushie with soaked feet...
Unhappy at losing at rock-paper-scissors, Harusame-plushie hopes he finds nothing and will be so distaught that she will win the next time they play..
Unhappy with his soaked feet, Sano-plushie goes into the laundry room to try and dry his feet before someone sees...
AND SO AN EPIC RACE AGAINST TIME STARTS!
Harusame-plushie decides to work on her game stategy, and tries to foresee her fake opponent's move...
Soujiro-plushie decides that Sano-plushie would have been ashamed to have his feet wet when it was obviously raining, so outside he went with an umbrella and wooden sandals...
Sano-plushie is ashamed to have his feet wet, as of course, it was raining and he had not realized it..
so he went in the house from the back door and into the laundry room...
Harusame-plushie goes into Kenshin-plushie's room to ask his help, as he was the best at predicting moves...
Soujiro-plushie had been around the whole house and had not seen Sano-plushie..so then he decided he would be in his room, trying to dry his feet with a pathetic towel...
Sano-plushie was now in the laundry room when he realized..how is he gonna dry his feet in the dryer-plushie? He couldn't stick his whole body in..and putting his feet in would hurt his ankles terribly, so again he felt like a fool, and decided to dry his feet with a pathetic towel in his room, so up to his room he decided to go..
Harusame-plushie did not see Kenshin-plushie in his room, and decided to check the kitchen, where he also might be, because Kaoru-plushie had tried to cook again, and Kenshin-plushie would be guarding the kitchen in case she tried again today. On her way there, she saw Sano-plushie's hair behind a screen, creeping up the stairs and shook her head. Sano-plushie had so many abstract and weird fans...
Soujiro-plushie departed Sano-plushie's room, as he had not seen him, and went back into the living room. Where could Sano-plushie be? AND THEN IT HIT HIM! Sano-plushie is foolish when desparate and he would try the place where everything dryed! The laundry room! And so he rished there to find
NOBODY..Disappointed and confused, Soujiro-plushie found himself questioning his sanity once again..
Sano-plushie had just barely escaped with his dignity, for he heard Soujiro-plushie come to the laundry room seconds after he realized he could not use the laundry machine, and he had ducked into an unusually large laundry-basket. Why was Soujiro-plushie looking for him? ...OF COURSE! IT COULD ONLY BE THAT Soujiro-plushie saw him in the doorway(and so naturally he would be the one trying to find him because Soujiro-plushie had been with Harusame-plushie, and Harusame-plushie did not see him, obviously she mocked Soujiro-plushie and he was now out to clear his name..)
And indeed he was..
But Soujiro-plushie was at a loss, for both the likely places Sano-plushie would be were empty..and so he retreated to the kitchen where Harusame-plushie was listening attentively to Kenshin-plushie's teachings. He walked over to the table-plushie and took a brownie and ate it, silently thanking the brownie for feeding him. What was he to do? Sano-plushie surely would have dried his feet out wherever he was by now...
How very wrong he was...
For Sano-plushie was having a terrible time finding his pathetic rag. It was so horrible, it was like trying to find mud in the desert, which if you don't know what that is, is like trying to find a tiny bug in the forest. So you can see, it was very hard and Sano-plushie became very frustrated..
JUST THEN!
Soujiro-plushie burst into the door, for this had gone on too long, and Harusame-plushie had told him of this Sano-plushie ghost she saw...
Soujiro-plushie pushed Harusame-plushie into the room and pointed triumphantly at Sano-plushie's feet, eager to show his right-ness, only to find that Sano-plushie's feet were
COMPLETELY DRY!
As Soujiro-plushie burst into frustrated tears, Harusame-plushie sighed and patted his head, telling him it was okay to be delirious sometimes.
Sano-plushie thanked the plushie gods and went down to have some delicious rice ball-plushies, for he was tired and stressed out...it had been a horribly tiring and stressful day...
THE END!
Author's note: Okay..well..this wasn't as good as I had hoped it'd be, but it was longer than I ever dreamed it could...O.o.."" sorry for the wait, but I am happy it was not as long as the last one!
