Hello! Welcome to another installment of Drabbles! This one was started in the boredom of having nothing to do in my Creative Writing class. So, it may be more creative than other chapters. Enjoy!
Otulia: We don't own InuYasha or Naruto. However, you are not permitted to steal our OC's! You'll know them when you see them, since we only borrowed Sesshomaru and Jakotsu.
Kinkatia Crew
Once upon a time there was a duck. It was a very adorable duck, and it was loved by all. But that's not important right now.
For, you see, a tragedy struck in the neighboring land. It was the worst possible thing that could ever have happened in that land, and all the people, who were usually very quiet and calm, were panicking. Yes, panicking. Hard to believe, isn't it? But that's where the story begins.
"What are we going to do?" King Orphicus asked from atop his throne.
"I don't know, Majesty, but it must be stopped!" answered Sanjeet, the royal messenger.
"We need help immediately," King Orphicus thought aloud. "We need…Kinkatia's Crew! They'll know what to do!"
"I will fetch them immediately," Sanjeet said, bowing before rushing out the door.
The journey to Kinkatia's Base took many danger-filled minutes, and Sanjeet arrived there filled with terror and on the brink of exhaustion. He knocked on the door, waiting impatiently for it to open.
"I GOT IT!" someone shouted from inside. Sanjeet hurriedly backed away as the door was flung open and two girls tumbled out onto the ground.
"I said I'd get it!" one of the girls said angrily as she got to her feet, brushing herself off and pushing her brown hair from her face.
The other girl glared up at her from the floor. "But I got to the door first!" she insisted. Much to Sanjeet's surprise, she floated up from the ground, seven colorful tails peeking around from behind her.
"Um…excuse me?" Sanjeet said timidly. The brown-haired girl turned her icy gaze on him, making him flinch.
"What?!" she demanded crossly, as if he had just interrupted something important.
"I…uh…was sent by King Orphicus. Our land has been wrought with disaster, and we require your expert assistance."
"Really?" the floating girl asked excitedly. "Alright, let's get going!" She lowered to the ground and ran back through the open door. "Come on, you three, we have a job to do!"
"A job? Really? What is it, what is it?" someone inside squealed in an annoyingly high-pitched voice.
"I'll pass," someone else said, sounding rather bored.
"No way! We're all going, and that's final!" came the familiar shout of the floating girl.
Sanjeet stood there nervously, under the cold glare of the brown-haired girl. He listened to the argument with a vague curiosity about who was in the room.
"Who are you, anyway?" the brown-haired girl asked suddenly.
"I…I am Sanjeet, royal messenger of King Orphicus," he answered timidly.
"King Orphicus? Never heard of him. Oh, I'm Rienne, by the way, best Genin in Konoha." Sanjeet looked at her, clearly confused. "I'm a ninja," she explained, rolling her eyes.
He was going to reply, but was interrupted as Otulia shoved three people out the door. One was tall, and reminded him of a ghost, as he was dressed in white, had long, silver hair, and was pale. But his golden eyes burned with life, and at this particular moment, anger. There was a happy looking person right beside him. Sanjeet couldn't decide if it was male or female, but recognized the voice as the excited person from earlier. The final person was definitely a girl, but a scary one. It wasn't just that she was dressed all in back and had 'attitude' written all over her face, but that she had large bat-like ears and leathery wings.
"We're ready to go!" the floating girl said excitedly. "Let me introduce everyone! I'm Otulia, and that's Rienne over there. And these are," she pointed at them in the order they had emerged from the room, "Sesshomaru, Jakotsu, and Rogue. Who are you and why are you here?"
"His name's Sanjeet," Rienne answered for him. "Some guy by the name of King Orphicus sent him."
"Alright, let's go!"
By the time they had returned to King Orphicus's land, Sanjeet had learned all about the Kinkatia Crew.
"Your Majesty," he announced. "May I present to you our saviors. Rienne, ninja extraordinaire. Otulia, second princess of Pluto and master of telekinesis. Sesshomaru, dog demon and lord of the western lands. Jakotsu, undead assassin with a unique fighting style. Rogue, genetic cross between a human and a fruit bat, and black belt in three styles of martial arts." He pointed to each as he introduced them.
King Orphicus looked them over. "This is the Kinkatia Crew? Where is Kinkatia?"
Otulia jumped up to sit cross-legged in the air. "She's not home. But we can handle the problem, whatever it is!"
"Very well," he replied. "Sanjeet! Take them to…the room…"
The group was led through some rather ordinary looking doors into a huge room filled wall to wall with bookshelves. People were standing around everywhere, looks of despair and annoyance on their faces. And, in the very center of the room was a small blue alien, with a little curling antenna on top of his head, and a face so emotional it could be chibi. He was repeating one word over and over again, in a very loud squeak.
"Pudding! Pudding! Pudding! Pudding!"
Otulia squealed in delight. "Gutok! I've been looking everywhere for you! And you learned a new word! I'm so proud of you!!!!!"
Jakotsu blinked at the small alien a few times before turning pale as a ghost. "It…it…IT'S BACK AGAIN!!! SAVE ME!!!!" He leaped at Sesshomaru and clung to him fearfully, wailing like a baby.
"Release me!" Sesshomaru demanded, but in vain, for Jakotsu couldn't hear anything over the sound of his own crying.
"Make him stop!" Rogue cried, covering her sensitive ears with her arms. She fell to her knees, gritting her teeth against the pain Gutok's squeaking and Jakotsu's high-pitched crying was causing her ear drums.
Rienne looked around at everyone in shock. "This is the emergency? Gutok learned a new word and won't shut up? Just throw him out of the library already!"
King Orphicus bowed his head in defeat. "No one can save us, it seems," he said sadly.
Suddenly, the door burst open, and a short girl with dirty-blonde hair and blue-green eyes barged in. "I can't believe I forgot to turn in my book! I'm so-" She stopped short and looked around, taking in the pathetic scene.
She sighed animatedly. "Oh boy…not again. This happened when he learned 'popsicle' and 'cupcake.'"
She walked over to Gutok and crouched down to his level. Otulia panicked, saying, "No! Don't do it! Please, Kinkatia, I'm begging you!!!!"
Kinkatia ignored her. "Gutok. Pop-Tart!"
Gutok became silent. Then he squeaked the word, "Pop-Tart!" once, and only once.
"NO!!!!" Otulia joined Jakotsu in the incessant wailing.
"QUIET!" Kinkatia shouted. "Otulia, take Gutok to Naphtali! Jakotsu, let go of Sess! Everyone, OUT!"
They obeyed her angry commands without question. Then she turned to King Orphicus and handed him a book. "I'm sorry it's late, really!"
"It's alright," he said. "You just saved us from a disaster! Would you like to check it out again?"
"Could I? Yes, please!"
He stamped the book and handed it back to her. She then proceeded to walk home, pausing only once to fawn over the duck in the pond next to the library.
Is it random enough? Tell me, or I'll stick Jakotsu and Gutok in your room while you're trying to sleep!
