It had been really windy lately, but this was just insane. There were tumbleweeds literally everywhere.
At first, they'd seen one roll by, and found it amusing. Twenty or so more rolled by a couple minutes later, giving Nezumi the feeling that there were going to be a lot more. Then what appeared to be a flood of tumbleweeds appeared, surrounding the car and making it impossible to maneuver around them.
"What am I supposed to do now?" asked Shion.
"I'd say to wait until they move out of the way, but they appear to have stopped," Inukashi spoke up.
Rikiga then suggested, "One of us could move the tumbleweeds in front of the car out of the way."
"That's... actually a good idea!" Inukashi exclaimed.
"You don't have to look so surprised," replied Rikiga, feigning hurt.
"Okay, Rikiga. Go move the tumbleweeds." said Nezumi.
"Why me?" Rikiga complained.
"Why not?" Inukashi retorted. "Unless you would prefer I moved the tumbleweeds, and you paid for my dogs' food for another month..."
"Okay, okay! I'm going!" muttered Rikiga, hastily exiting the car.
Rikiga began to move the tumbleweeds, but he'd only moved a few when the wind suddenly picked up again and the tumbleweeds began to move by themselves again. At first Rikiga looked relieved, since it meant less work for him, but then the wind changed direction and the tumbleweeds started moving towards him. Screaming, he ran away from the tumbleweeds, which continued to 'follow' him.
At one point, he turned out of the tumbleweeds' path, but the wind changed direction again, giving the illusion the tumbleweeds were chasing him.
By the time Rikiga managed to return to the car, without the tumbleweeds in tow, Inukashi had somehow fallen out of her seat from laughing so hard.
"I should have brought a camera," Inukashi gasped out between giggles.
