Aoshi-chan In Wonderland
Prologue
Aoshi Shinomori sat beneath a cherry blossom tree, his long legs crossed beneath him, his hand lazily stroking the smooth downy fur of the small kitten tucked in his lap. He had been in town earlier that day with Misao when they had come upon a young boy trying to entice people passing by to relieve him of his box of six tiny kittens.
Misao had taken one look at the pink-nosed gray striped kitten and none of his extensive arguments to the contrary had succeeded in swaying her from taking it home. Well that, and the fact that the kitten had turned her unblinking coppery stare to his face, wide innocent eyes and he threw in the towel.
The kitten stirred in his lap, gave a great big stretch, opened her mouth for a big pink yawn and turned snuggling once more into Aoshi, purring sweetly. He sighed, thinking that he would have to see what Misao had in mind for naming the little girl. He had been thinking about Kodachi. He yawned musing that the lazy ball of fluff had the right idea. A nap sounded wonderful. Yes, Kodachi would be a perfect name, and he answered the beckoning call of slumber.
Aoshi awoke some time later feeling refreshed, the kitten had stirred in his lap and was now meowing her little head off. He followed her as she bolted from his lap and with an ungainly hop proceeded to the corner of the garden. But someone was in the corner of the garden, someone large trying to fit into a very small hole. The person looked ridiculous wearing a red waist coat and a pair of white bunny ears on their head. Thick strips of white cloth wrapped the person from head to toe under its ridiculous damned ears.
"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello goodbye! I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! The creature squawked, brandishing a small pocket watch as determined as ever to stuff itself into the small hole.
Aoshi grabbed the creature by the arm, spinning him around, and coming face to face with none other than Shishio himself. Aoshi experienced a great bolt of shock and was actually quite torn. On one hand he wanted to know why Shishio was alive and therefore needed to be immediately killed. On the other hand he wanted to laugh until he puked.
The White Shishio Rabbit bounced up and down squawking like an angry hen.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm overdue. I'm really in a stew. No time to say goodbye, hello! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" With that he wiggled free and popped smartly into the tiny hole.
Kodachi looked up at him curiously and winked. Then she giggled.
Wait. Cats don't giggle he thought, but Kodachi simply winked again and launched her self at his leg teeth and claws blazing, knocking him off kilter and into the hole after White Shishio Rabbit.
Aoshi plunged for a good three minutes down and down, surely to his death of that he had no doubt. Since when did rabbits dig holes to China? His last thoughts were of which would taste better Shishio Rabbit or kitten stew? Of the strange nature of giggling kittens and finally on why he was for some reason now garbed in a dress. He hit the floor with a jarring thud. And then he thought no more.
Well was it a good little nibble of things to come? I hope so. I am working my hardest to be a diligent little solider and to get the next chapter out in a timely fashion. I am very stubborn though and do not respond to yelling hee hee!
