NANI WO MISUKETE YUKOU? JIKAN WO, KIRISAITE--

The lyrics of the opening of Saiyuki was playing through the van while I discreetly mouthed the words.

"OW THAT'S MY FOOT!"

"Well SHOVE OVER THEN!"

"OWW! NOW YOU'RE GRINDING YOUR HEEL INTO MY FOOT!"

"WOULD YOU BOTH STOP FIGHTING IN THE BACK? DON'T MAKE ME SEPERATE YOU TWO!" I shouted turning around in the drivers seat.

"Kiako keep your eyes on the road!" Kuro cried grabbing the steering wheel

"Opps! Sorry!"

Yes, we were all cramped into D3pa1's van. Well, not all of us... From my little group there was only Heihachi, Chichiri, Kel, Zero and Vale. Ok, so it's not a very little group... Kuro's group consisted of Train and Eve only. D3pa1? She didn't have anyone with her since BM wanted to just stay home and watch TV.

"Wow! This is bigger then Hong-nan no da! So, where are we going no da?" Chichiri asked in chibi form sitting on Heihachi's lap looking out the window (He was chibi to save space in the car)

"Well, I kinda figured that due to my lack of machine washing detergent and you're need of different clothing, I decided-- Against my will I might add, for us to go shopping." I said and I could practically imagine everyone in the car gasp.

"No... you mean we're going to... WEM?" D3pa1 asked

"Of course! It's the biggest mall in the city, so we'll have a wide variety" I said "Chichiri get down from the window, you might get me a ticket"

"Yeah, for not seat belting you're baby down" D3pa1 snickered

"Hey! I'm too young to have children!" I said defensively

"AND you're too young to drive" Train added.

"Then, why is she driving?" A long moment of silence passed though the car while we were pulling up to a red light.

"... GET HER!"

"AHHHHH!"

So in the end, I was sitting in the back while Train drove us. Aparently only he, Heihachi and I think Eve were able to drive. Eve was too young to though... Kuro was in front giving Train instructions while I was squished between Vale and Heihachi with Chichiri on my lap. I felt a nudge and Heihachi leaned over slightly.

"Um, Kiako-chan..."

"Yes?"

"Vale, he's... staring at me funny..." Heihachi almost whimpered. I looked at Vale who now, had a look of killer intent in his eyes glaring at Heihachi, who stared idle out the window trying to avoid eye contact. I sighed...

"Are we there yet?"

ʓʓʓ

"Ok guys, remember, this is a huge mall so don't get..." I turned around seeing empty space around me "Lost...? Guys? Oh CRAP" Not even 10 seconds and I already lose everyone! I took off into a dash and looked around among the busy crowd for my friends. DOOMIE! If I wasn't standing in the crowd I'd have been singing the Invader Zim Doom song again. But no time to sing, GOTTA FIND THEM!

(Elsewhere...)

"Hmm..." Kuro rubbed her chin staring at the manga shelf in Chapters while D3pa1 made a fort of manga books around herself.

"Excuse me, but you can't do that with our books" the book keeper started before D3pa1 and Kuro both gave her their Death Glares "Um... nevermind..." the keeper shrank away in fear and ran off.

"Gee, you think that was too much?" D3pa1 asked opening Chobits

"Not at all" Kuro replied flipping through a Bleach manga "Hm, Ishida's in this volume"

(Meanwhile...)

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I cried running through the mall "TASKETE! I LOST MY FRIENDS!" I stopped when heard weird barking sounds.

"ARF ARF!" I clapped my hands together. ONWARDS! TO SEALION ROCK! I ran until I saw the small pond aquarium that housed the live sealions. Don't ask why this mall has sealions in it, for entertainment or preservation purposes or something... Hey look I'm using longer words to speak!

"Kiako-chan no da! Look at these giant dogs na no da!" Chichiri waved while petting a sealion

"Chichiri what're you doing here? And why'd you run away!" I gasped holding my knees for support (God, I hate my human body...)

"Sorry no da, I just heard a bark and thought I heard dogs! And I did no da! Look at these giant dogs with no legs no da!" Chichiri said happily then held up a small fish "Watch what I taught them no da! Jump, Jump! No da!" The sealion that was sitting on the platform in front of him did a back flip landing in the water with a small splash and resurfaced.

With a giant splash.

"Yay! Good dog no da!" Chichiri smiled tossing the sealion it's fishy prize. I was busy trying to dry my glasses off!

"That's great that you met a new friend Chichiri-san, but we really have to go find the others" I said and began to slowly pull him away from the pool.

"Aww... no da..."

"Don't worry, we'll visit them again once we find the others" I smiled and felt that Chichiri wasn't moving "Um, we have to go..."

"I know no da"

"Then why aren't you moving?" I peered behind Chichiri "GACK!" the sealion that Chchiri was hanging out with was tugging him back with Chichiri's sleeve in his mouth.

"I'm sorry no da, I really have to go no da" Chichiri said petting the sealion, who almost started pulling Chichiri into the pool.

"OI! NANI YO NA!" I exclaimed grabbing Chichiri's hand and pulling back "LEGGO! YAAAARR!"

"ARF!" another sealion jumped out of the pool and started pulling on Chichiri's jeans

"I'M NOT A YO-YO NO DA!"

"It's cause they want food! Throw them another fish!" I cried.

"But I don't have anymore no da!"

"And why are you telling ME that?" Chichiri pet the sealions on the head.

"Sorry no da, NO MORE FISH" he said waving his hands to show they were empty. The sealions looked at each other and roared lunging at Chichiri and me.

"RUN!" We bounded to the gate and slammed it shut watching the sealions trying to stuff their heads out of bars.

ᦟʓᬯ

I gasped for breath on a bench while Chichiri was straightening his clothes.

"Wow, I didn't know dogs were so attracted to me no da" he said

"Those weren't dogs, those were sealions"

"Lions? THOSE ARE THE STRANGEST LIONS I'VE EVER SEEN NO DA"

"It's not the same Chichiri," I said fixing my hair and standing up "Well, better find the others... Now who should we look for next?"

"Probably Kel-san, no da" Chichiri suggested as we began to walk through the mall searching the crowd.

"No, we should find the ones who would cause more trouble." I said "If we do that it'll be a snap to find the more doscile members of our party" I felt my mouth curve into a smile. Man, I sound like I'm playing an RPG game.

"Well, we should find Zero and Train no da" Chichiri said. I grabbed his arm and ran dragging him behind me

"TO THE FOOD COURT!"

"AH! KIAKO-CHAN SLOW DOWN!" Chichiri cried in chibi form.

As soon as we got to the food court (Which was on the other side of this damn mall...) soon enough, I saw a brown haired person walking out drinking a 1 litre carton of milk.

"White milk and a red milk, yellow milk is a oh so bad! Oh oh oh oh yeah! It's our milk festival ooh!" he sang

"TRAIN!" I snatched his wrist and started dragging him away

"Hey! Cut that out! You're going to make me spill my milk!" Train cried

"We have to go find Kuro and the others, so who should we find next?" I said scratching behind my head. Jeez I should've just stuck to Walmart!

"Hiya guys! Look what I found!" Zero called waving a bag

"Wha, you went to La Vie en Rose?" I asked pointing to the flowery bag.

"Well I want to get my girl friend something" Zero said defensively

"You don't HAVE a girlfriend you baka" I said and peeked into his shopping bag "ZERO!"

"What? It's not like it's for you!" he snapped pulling out the bra "It's for my girlfriend, ONCE I GET ONE"

"Like anyone's going to fit those! The only person who can fit that is Tifa!"

"Who says Tifa can't be my girl friend?"

"Cloud."

"NOO! I'M NOT LISTENING!" Zero shouted covering his ears "LA LA LA LA LA! CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

"Um, people are starting to stare" Train pointed out.

ᦟʓᬯ

I skidded into Chapters and ran straight to the manga section

"Kuro? D3pa1? Are you here?" I turned into another gap of shelves "KURO?"

"NO! STOP ASKING!" the attendant yelled with one of those anime angry marks on his head, or so I imagined it.

"Yo! I found little princess!" Train called

"SH!"

"Sorry..." I saw Eve sitting in a chair with piles of literature around her.

"Eve, have you seen Kuro and Dpa1?" I asked

"Over there." she said pointing at the castle of manga books.

"What... What have they done..." I groaned and looked among the many volumes that stood as the front gate. Brigadoon, Arcana, Berseker, Bleach, Samurai X, Rouni Kenshin, Chobits, Fushigi Yuugi, Naruto, Negima,You name it! Hey look, Azu Manga Daiyo! I reached out to pull it out when something hard bashed my head.

"Dont touch those! We still have to read them!" Kuro shouted over the wall "And, gimme back my shoe will ya?"

"Come on you guys, this isn't funny!" I shouted pointing up "How come you guys get a castle and I don't?"

"Cause we're special" D3pa1 said "Hey you managed to find everyone!"

"Not everyone..." I said "There's still Kel, Vale and Hei-san" D3pa1 cupped her chin than clapped her hands together

"I know where Kel and Vale are" she said and disappeared for a moment pushing some of the manga books aside to make a door.

"We're leaving already?" Kuro asked

"Yeah, I'm thirsty anyways"

"So where would Vale be?" I asked

"Why? Do you can go a give him you're SPECIAL HUG?" D3pa1 teased

"What? NO! It's just we agreed that we should find the ones who would do them most damage and monitor them."

"YOU Agreed, not US" Kuro stated "Besides, where else would Vale be except looking for a gift for you?"

"But he doesn't have any money!" I said "Arg this is so confusing! We should just stay in one spot and see if they pass us in the crowd!"

"Speaking of which, isn't that Heihachi?" Train said pointing to an orange head jumping up and down waving. I waved back and Heihachi eventually made it past the crowd and smiled with his face covered in oil and grease.

"Hi!"

"HI? IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY AFTER RUNNING OFF LIKE THAT? WE COULD'VE NEVER FOUND YOU!" I shouted

"But she was the one who suggested to stay in one spot isn't she?" Zero muttered to Train, who shrugged tossing his empty milk carton into a nearby trash can.

"Sorry Kiako-chan, but I was curious" Heihachi said and handed me a box in the shape of a house "This is for you since you went to so much trouble to try and find us" I opened the box and pulled out the thing that was inside.

"Where'd you get this?" I asked staring at the black beady eyes of the orange cat doll that had on a pink sundress.

"From that Build-A-Bear store, I don't know why they call it build a bear since there are rabbits and dogs, I even saw stuffed frogs!" Heihachi chuckled

"Ok but, how'd you pay for it?" I asked then started to panic "You didn't steal it with Zero's assistance did you?"

"Why would I go through so much trouble? Plus I was here the entire time!" Zero yelled smacking me upside the head.

"Well, the cotton fluffing machine was broken, so I fixed it for them and they let me get a doll for free" Heihachi explained and wiped at his face with the back of his hand "I need to find a place to wash my face..."

"First we gotta find Kel-san and Vale no da" Chichiri said

"KIAKO!"

"Speak of the devil" Eve said

"MY LOVE! I HAVE RETURNED! OH HOW YOU MUST HAVE WORRIED SO!" Valecried running through the crowd as all the people moved away making a path for him.

"I wasn't too worried, I was just worried someone might hurt you" I said. Hey with the kinda guy Vale is, who wouldn't want to beat him up?

"Great! Now all we have to do is find rope head and we're good to go!" Zero said

"Don't call him that..." I muttered.

ᦟʓᬯ

"Well, he's not in Circut Circus" D3pa1 said "But I did get to own everyone in Soldier of Fortune!"

"Good for you... Where would Kel-san be?" I asked and looked around "GAH! WHERE'D HEIHACHI AND CHICHIRI GO!" There was a loud crash along with some screams and lo and behold, came Heihachi and Kel running out

"GO FREE! FREE I SAY! FREE FROM YOUR CAGES INTO THE FREE WORLD!" Kel grinned as hamsters poured out behind him

"WHAT DID YOU DO!" I cried pointing at the nearby PJ pets as all these different animals began running/flying/slithering/ doing whatever type of locomation/ running out.

"We set the animals free! It's not fair that they're in cages all the time" Heihachi said happily "We couldn't save the fish though..."

"But they're suppose to be pets! They're suppose to be in cages!" Kuro growled

"Oh my god I think this whole mall just made everyone stupid..." I groaned "Where's Chichiri?"

"Setting free the flamingos"

"RUN NO DA! RUN!" Chichiri shouted in chibi riding on the back of a pink flamingo flapping towards us.

"YEAH! WAY TO GO! FREE THE FLAMINGOS! RAMPAGING FLAMINGOS!" Kel shouted in a war cry "ALALALALAAAA!" he yoddled like an indian.

"Hey you! SECURITY!" the pet shop owner yelled pointing at our group.

"RUN GUYS RUN!" we all took off through the mall dodging as many people and rabbits as we could trying to make our way to the exit. Birds swooped back and forth pecking at people and making nests in the lamps.

"The exit should be right over there" D3pa1 said pointing around the corner. I grabbed the door handle and something furry jumped onto my hand.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!" I drew my hand back and watched the giant taratula drop onto the floor and began skittering towards me "NOOO!" I took of running with the aracnid at my heels.

"Kiako that's the wrong way!" Kel shouted

"I HATE SPIDERS!"

"Oh boy..."

"NO DA!" I jumped onto a bench and saw Chichiri was being carried away bouncing in the air.

By sealions...

My inner chibi almost blew up. DAMN THOSE SEALIONS! I dashed after them and tried to snatch Chichirifrom mid air. The sealions barked and bounced chibi Chichiri to the next sealions that just balanced him on its nose and just kinda flopped away.

"STOP DAMN YOU!" I shouted giving chase "I'm gonna... WHOA!" I heard loud squeaking as my shoes slipped on the water that surrounded the floor causing me to skid and trip over the first sealion

"ARK!" the sealion yelped then began flopping around in the same direction as his friend-- with ME still on it's back!

"MATTE! YAMARO! STOP!" I cried and the sealion flipped around making me land in the sealion pool. Great, wet twice in one day...

"Kiako-chan! Daijoubu?" Heihachi asked hauling me out.

"As soon as I get my hands on that sealion, I'm throwing it into the ocean..." I hissed as my teeth chattered. It's very rare for my teeth to chatter unless it's really cold.

"Whoa, you're really shivering alot!" Train said

"Jee no, I'm wet and it's the dead of winter, YOU'D BE FREEZING TOO!" I snapped. Suddenly another splash of water came from the pool and chibi Chichiri crawled out while sitting on a sealions head.

"I do not think I like these lions as much as before no da..." Chichiri murmered as Eve fished him out.

"I think we better go, before we get into even MORE trouble" Kuro said

"First, dry clothes..." I said squeezing water out of my shirt. Dammit and it was my FF X-2 shirt too...

"Yeah, I don't want my car wet..." D3pa1 said "Time to go buy Kiako new clothes, at least we can get rid of that Final Fantasy shirt, you look lik a nerd in that"

"Thankfully I stole her wallet before her money got wet!" Zero said triumphantly

"HEY!"

ᦟʓᬯ

So in the end, I came out of WEM wearing some cheap sweat pants and a Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith T-shirt. Hey it came with the DVD movie too! I just had to buy it! I still had to wear my wet shoes but at least D3pa1 let me change out of them and put some dry socks on in the car.

"Well, that's enough insanity for one day..." I said hugging myself "God it's freezing! D3pa1 turn the heat up!"

"Shut up! IfI turn the heat up anymore we'll all roast in here!" she called "Just go cuddle with one of your favorite peoples of something!"

"What? No! I don't want to make them cold too!" I cried feeling my face turn warmer "You might as well embarrass me so I warm up!"

"FEAR NOT! I SHALL HUG YOU TO WARMTH! MY FIERY FLAME OF PASSION SHALL PROTECT YOU FROM ANY COLD!" Vale shouted trying to reach over the seat (He was sitting in the very back between Kel and Zero, I was kinda in the middle between Hei and Chichiri. Eve and Train kinda rode in the small gap in the back that served as a trunk)

"That'll work?" Train asked. I saw D3pa1's grin in the rear veiw mirror (Yes, she was driving)

"Hey everyone! Take your shirts off!" she shouted. Everyone seemed to fall over making the van shake.

"Dpa1! Not in the car! Wait till we get home to a bed! Or at least get someone else to drive" Zero said with a leacherous grin.

"Not that you pervert! Kiako gets nervous with shirtless guys, since there's at least six guys in here so she'll warm up for sure"D3pa1 snickered "Look, Hei-man's already striping!"

"NANI!" Everyone yelled as Heihachi was taking off his flannel jacket humming happily.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE TODAY!" I cried and impatiently pushed the wet hair strands from my face "It's still freezing..." I felt something warm over my shoulders and Heihachi smiled

"There, you can wear that until we get home" he said putting his jacket over my shoulders.

"Jee, thanks" I smiled pulling the jacket tighter around me. It's so freaking warm!

"Hey look she's changing colors! I think she's warming up!" Kel said pointing.

"I think that's called a blush no da" Chichiri humoured

"WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON ME NOW OF ALL DAYS?"

Authors notes: Yup. I went to WEM a while ago and I just thought it'd be funny if everyone was there. Seriously, it's a huge mall. It has any store you can imagine (Well, most clothing stores) it has an ice rink, some kinda small pond with boats in it, a freaking AMUSEMENT PARK, a mini golf course, a TNT, 5 different family resturants and so much more I can't remember. This chapter would've been up sooner but of course because of my clumsiness, I almost sliced off my pinky finger and had to get stiches READ MY WHOLE INCIDENT HERE! http/kiako. finger's better now thankfully... Any who, thanks for reading!
