Naughty Chicken
by Nodaone

Tasuki stomped around Taiitsukun's mountain, finding no-one and getting in a more foul mood by the minute when he turned a corner and ran smack into Chichiri.
"DA!" the startled monk exclaimed as they tumbled to the floor. "What are you doing here, Tasuki-san?"
"Get your ^&*% feet outta my face and I'll tell ya!" the bandit sputtered. "I wanted to ask that old h..I mean..Taiitsukun something but I can't find her. Where IS that old bat?"
Instantly Nyan nyans appeared, all with worried faces and repeating the same thing.
"Gone!"
"Gone!"
"Nyan! Nyan! Gone! Nyan! Nyan!"
"Yeah yeah. I kinda got the &*^$ idea! But where?"
"I...I don't know." Chichiri looked worried even thru his mask. "I haven't sensed any danger but then I can't sense Taiitsukun either. What could have happened?"
Tasuki frowned. "I didn't think anything COULD happen to the old witch, but I guess..."
He was interrupted by the joyful chorus of Nyan nyans all chanting happily.
"Taiitsukun!"
"Taiitsukun! Back! Nyan nyan!"
Sure enough, Taiitsukun was floating back to the mountain palace, but for some reason a bit unsteadily. When she reached the two seishi, a bottle slipped out from her gown and rolled past. Tasuki picked it up and sniffed.
"Hey! Sake! Oh &*^ it's empty. Where'd you get it?"
"Taiitsukun! We were worried no da!" Chichiri gave a respectful bow. "Where were you? Ano....." He sweatdropped as he noticed her disheveled hair and rumpled robes.
Taiitsukun looked over at him with great dignity (although she was leaning to one side.) "Do I need to tell you where I go?" she slurred. "It'sh none of your bizshnessh! I know where I am and thash enuff!"
She started for her room, gently bouncing from one wall to another. Just before she entered her room and closed the door, she cackled and uttered a remark that sent both Chichiri and Tasuki crashing to the floor and all the nearby Nyan Nyans to turn green.
"That is ONE naughty chicken!!"
