Chapter 3
In which two Bijuu chat
Long ago when the world was young, but not as young as it once was, Nibi no Neko came upon Ichibi observing the ningen. (The world had changed; the Bijuu were no longer alone).
"Ohayo, Nii-chan!" Ichibi grinned. (The world may have changed, but Ichibi's sense of humor had not).
Nibi, not being as dignified as Kyuubi, arched its back and spat, "Ichibi, you know I haven't chosen a gender to represent myself!"
Ichibi cackled. "Gomen, Nii-chan! Is there something you wanted? It's not often you come to talk to me. I could get lonely," Ichibi pouted.
Nibi sniffed haughtily, "Of course I don't talk to you; you're only the Ichibi. I was merely wondering what had caught your attention." (Cats, even demon cats, have always been curious). Nibi sniffed again. "I see it's only those worthless ningen."
"Aww Nii-chan, don't be so mean. They're kind of interesting!" Ichibi's eyes glinted, but with malice or humor Nibi wasn't sure. (Ichibi was extremely tricky).
Nibi decided to ignore most of what Ichibi said and hissed, "Are you trying to pick a fight with me? It will just be one more that you've lost!" (Ichibi's fights with Kyuubi were infamous).
"Hmph, you really are mean! Don't worry, I won't take time out of your day for a worthless fight," Ichibi said as his eyes glinted again.
Nibi stalked regally away, slightly mollified. It wasn't until later that the possibility of Ichibi being sarcastic crossed its mind.
