Part 1: Seravi's Obaa-san
DISCLAIMER: Akazukin Chacha belongs to Ayahana Min; I don't own any of the characters. Wolf-Seravi is mine though! ^^; *niko* But that would be chou kawaii on Seravi, don'tcha think? *pause* Err, wait a minute... and situations belong to me. I *THINK* "Little Red Riding Hood" was written by the Grimm brothers. If that should go here... Sailormoon belongs to Takeuchi Naoko, Miracle Girls belongs to its appropriate owner (I forget the name) and partially to Ribon. (Doesn't it? Kind of?)
And all the Pocky flavours are real ones. I especially like the Men's Pocky. *oishii*
"Play narration" parts like:
Mink: bleh bleh bleh
Seravi: bleh bleh bleh
Are small quips that the cast and I desire to make. *niko*
Also! This is basically an alternate universe. Not in a specific timeline to date. (See how messy this all gets? ^_^) And I've attempted to create a humorous 'fic. Actually, I was trying to write a non-humorous 'fic, but my sole editor, Kay, told me it was too humourous if I was attempting a humorous 'fic. So I'm not sure. You decide. ^_-
----
Once, there was a little girl with purple, livid hair. She lived in a nice cottage which was suitably placed next to *another* cottage on Mochi Mochi Mountain. This girl was Yakko, or also known as "Little Black Riding Hood."
Her neighbours were Seravi, the World's Greatest Magician, and Chacha, the magician trainee, who was also a princess -- but that's another story. Along with Seravi and Chacha were Dorothy, Seravi's rival; Shiine, Dorothy's student; and Riiya, the werewolf.
Just nearby Yakko lived Marin the mermaid, who had the ability to turn into a mermaid, and was hopelessly devoted to Riiya (who unfortunately did not reciprocate her feelings). And just a little off, she would be able to spot young Orin the ninja, who lived with her grandfather, the World's Greatest Ninja; his slip disc always seemed to get in his way but never discouraged him.
Now that we're done explaining Yakko's neighbours... ^_^;
Yakko was helplessly in love with Seravi. One day, Seravi realised that he needed to send a basket of cookies to his grandmother (and since when Seravi had a grandmother, who knows). So, he found himself the luckiest person as he had found someone to run his errand -- he had just discovered a new potion to make Dorothy's hair turn blonde without much of a struggle and he knew he would and COULD not fail.
So off he went to Yakko's cottage.
"Seravi-sama~!" she said, ecstatic. "What brings you here?"
"I need some assistance. Ah... my grandmother needs these basket of sweets," Seravi said calmly. "I've been... er... busy with housework. It would mean so much to me if you took it," he finished, gagging at his last sentence.
"I'd LOVE to!" Yakko cried, and grabbed the baskets fiercely, and blushed. "Perhaps he's realising it, finally! That I love him... this must be a favour out of love~!" she murmured as Seravi began to edge away nervously.
Dorothy seethed in the window (what, jealous? ^^;). She was left helpless, just watching Yakko grin. Why hadn't Seravi asked her? She was so --
Dorothy: HEY! AUTHOR-SAN!
Mink: Who? *blink* Me?
Dorothy: YES, *YOU.* You're a horrible author! For your information, I, Dorothy, am *NOT* helpless! I'll do something! AND I AM *NOT* JEALOUS!
The author-san quickly got the wind knocked out by Dorothy's voice and the fire-raging breath... ehe... drop that mallet, Doroshi-chan, ne?... and quickly began to retype the problem.
Dorothy seethed in the window with rage. "How dare he send that brute? Trusting her with a basket to his *DEAR* old grandmother!" She turned to face Shiine, Chacha, and Riiya, who were playing marbles on the ground.
Chacha: Marbles? I've never played!
Shiine: Don't worry Chacha-san, I'll let you win so you feel better.
Riiya: Idiot, you've never played either. None of us have.
Mink: Shaddup, you three. Get playing.
... so Chacha, Shiine, and Riiya commensed playing as Dorothy beckoned them over. "You three! Seravi has just ordered Yakko to deliver some sweets to his grandmother."
"Sweets to his *obaa-san*?" Shiine said pointedly. "She eats *sweets*? (And when did he have a grandmother?)"
Dorothy facefaulted. "Hey, she's not MY relative."
"Oh! Is she related to Seravi-sensei's mother?"
"That would be his father," Dorothy corrected.
"...Eh?" Chacha said, mildly confused. "Never mind. But we have to follow Yakko-chan? That's fine with me!" She turned to Shiine and Riiya. "Come on! We have to go for love --"
"-- Courage!"
"-- And hope!"
"WRONG PHRASE!" Dorothy yelled, and the others fell from the intensity of her yell, and she gathered herself. "Now. Go. Hurry up! Follow her!"
"For what reason, Dorothy-san?" Shiine asked politely.
Doothy lost her temper -- she couldn't *really* be mad at Shiine, anyway, and she flipped her hair back. "I've heard that there are some monsters that've been loose lately. Which include a thread of basket-stealing wolves, which sounds suspicious," she fibbed. "Go and follow her! Guard her. Now!"
And the trio zoomed out.
Mink: That's just a little harsh, wasn't it, Doroshi-chan? And lying! *shock*
Dorothy: STOP CALLING ME 'DOROSHI-CHAN'! And it was a perfectly good lie.
Mink: What! A horrible influence you are! Are you going to be like that to your kids?
Dorothy: *flush* What kids?
Mink: DUH -- your's and Seravi's, right Doroshi-chan? *innocent smile*
Dorothy: WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'LL HAVE KIDS?! STOP CALLING ME 'DOROSHI-CHAN!'
Mink: Why? *grumble* Chacha calls you that...
Dorothy: There *IS* a difference between YOU and HER!
...
Yakko swung the basket gaily as she walked down the... er... mountain. "Doing Seravi-sama's errands... what's next? Doing his laundry?" she asked herself, swooning (the author could not help from laughing hysterically imagining Yakko doing Seravi's laundry... erg, and shut up as she saw Yakko grabbing a mallet out of nowhere threateningly).
"Yakko-chaaaaaan!" called a voice from behind.
Yakko cringed, as she was thwapped unintentionally by a flying wolf-Riiya which Shiine had bombarded from his kick. Chacha and Shiine followed closely behind as Riiya dropped to the ground, and simply followed the other three.
"How are you?" Chacha bubbled. "Dorothy-chan said that you were dropping off some sweets --"
Here, Shiine coughed innocently, but the others looked at him with a withering look, and he cowered.
"Really?" Yakko said. She realised somewhat that Dorothy was her prime rival in order to attain Seravi's affections. As well as that doll -- but that wasn't much. "So? What did she say?"
"There's been a string of wild basket-snatching wolf attacks," Shiine said. "We'd better watch out."
"But we have Riiya with us!" Chacha pointed out happily. "Riiya'll help us! Right?"
"But he's a *WOLF*," Yakko said suddenly. "And these are basket-snatching *WOLF* attacks?"
"... I don't get it!" Riiya chirped.
Yakko and Shiine facefaulted while Chacha and Riiya suddenly stared at Yakko's basket curiously. "So! What's in there?" Chacha asked.
"E-excuse me! I'm *NOT* an intruder, unlike some people. That's why Seravi-sama trusted ME," Yakko said authoratively.
"Actually, I think it was because that Seravi found a new potion to turn Dorothy's hair back into her blonde colour," Riiya said helpfully, "and he needed someone futile enough to do the job."
"I don't believe you," Yakko said after she pounded Riiya with her 'fic mallet, and seemed quite pleased she had been given such great armour for the 'fic! ^_^ "Besides, it would be *rude* to look in the basket." But even she was curious.
Suddenly, Riiya tackled her to the ground -- well, the basket, actually.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Yakko shrieked. "THAT'S NOT MINE!"
Riiya nosed the basket gingerly, and his eyes grew large. "Pocky!" he cried jubilantly. He held up more boxes. "Sailormoon curry! Miracle Girls chocolate snacks! Ahhhh... what else?!" he asked, rummaging through the bags.
"Seravi-san's obaa-san eats Sailormoon curry?" Shiine said, facefaulting. "That's not exactly a sweet, of course, but..."
"Oishii sou!" Chacha said eagerly. "Maybe if we ask Seravi-sensei's obaa-san nicely, she'll let us stay and maybe eat some with her!" Already, she was eyeing the Pocky boxes. "Wahh, there's the new 'Men's Pocky' type you like, Shiine-chan!" she said, clapping her hands. "And Chocolate Pocky, Dark Chocolate Pocky, Strawberry Pocky, Milk Pocky..."
"If you're here to raid Seravi-sama's precious basket, think again!" Yakko said protectively. "I don't want nuisances here. I have a handy hair loss potion for anyone who wants to lose hair!" she said loudly.
Riiya facefaulted. "Erk."
"We'll join you!" Chacha said happily. "And we're all in it, for love --"
"Courage!"
"And hope!"
Yakko fumed. "Just shut up~!"
"So we can go? Besides, we'll look out for you!" Shiine somewhat fibbed helpfully.
"Well..."
"WAI!" Chacha said happily. "We can go!"
Immediately, Chacha and Riiya launched into a song, with Shiine trying to figure his way into this little tight friendship by attempting the words. ^_^;
Yakko muttered to herself as she swung the now-dirty basket. "Oh, they'll come in handy. I'll just give 'em the basket later down the way so I can go back to Seravi-sama." She mock-swooned, then lit up. "Then again, we always have a little mermaid friend in handy," she said, laughing maniacally to herself. "O~hohohohoho --"
"Yakko-chan? Daijobu?" Chacha said suddenly. "That's a funny laugh."
"Shut up. Let's get moving," Yakko said. "We're just going to make a quick drop-off at Marin's."
So the foursome went.

Erk. o.O;
Very odd.
Sakura: She stole Tomoyo-chan's trademark laugh!
Mink: What was I supposed to do?! Besides, she has a cool laugh!
Sakura: For this, I won't forgive you! RELEASE! THUNDER!
Mink: Whaaaaat! That's not -- *zap*
Tomoyo: Arigato, Sakura-chan. *niko* Let's go back to our dress-up game.
Sakura: EHHHHH?! Mink-san, come back to life! HELP MEEEE!
... Caffeine is a dangerous tool.
Part 2 coming soon. ;) Comments and crits! Pleeeeeease. ^_^
