Subject: [KFFDisc] Re: Misaoella (by Judisephy) Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 02:14:15 EST From: Itsukisan@aol.com Well, I wrote a Rapunzel fic that I posted on the aoshimisaofic ML awhile ago...And here it is. (It's called Weasel Girl.) ----------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: These characters do not belong to me. They belong to Nobuhiro Watsuki and all those other people whom I'm too ignorant and lazy to name. ^_^; The story Rapunzel was taken from Grimm's Fairy Tales and whatever. Weasel Girl Once upon a time there was a man and his wife who were going to have a child. The wife looked out the window one day and saw a weasel scamper across the field. "Kenshin, I want a weasel," she demanded. "But Kaoru-dono..." "I SAID I WANT A WEASEL." "Hai..." So the man went out to hunt for the weasel. He was just about to catch one when a tall, spiky-haired young man stopped him. "Oi, what were you trying to do with my weasel?" "That's your weasel?" "Damn right." "Demo..." "I SAID it's my weasel." "Okay, okay. I was just trying to catch it because my wife wanted one." "Tell you what. I'll give you the weasel if you can get me free sukiyaki at the Akabeko." "I don't think..." "Fine, then I'll just settle for the kid that your wife is going to have." Then the spiky-haired man left. "Oro?" So the man returned with the weasel, which pleased his wife immensely. She played with the weasel every day and night until one day, their child was born. (You didn't want her to eat the weasel, did you?) The spiky-haired man came and took the child. "Hey, what are you doing?" the wife cried. "Hey, like I always say, what's mine is mine, and what's yours is also mine." Then the man left with the baby girl in his arms. The spiky-haired man took the girl and put her in a tower. The girl grew up at the top of the tower, but was most remarkable about her was her hair. She kept her long, bluish black hair braided, and the braid was so long that it reached the ground from the top of the tower. Each day, the spiky-haired man would visit her and called out: "Weasel Girl, Weasel Girl, let down your hair." The girl would respond by throwing her tobikunai. "Don't call me that!" she would shout from the top of the tower, and then let her braid down for him to climb. ********************************** It just happened one day that the boring Prince Aoshi was riding his horse through the country. He heard the girl singing "Ice Blue Eyes" (since it was rather boring being all alone at the top of a tower, she sang to amuse herself) and was caught by the upbeat of the tune, so he decided to see who was singing. Prince Aoshi came to the tower and was about to use his ninja skills to scale it when he heard the loud, spiky-haired man coming, so he hid and watched. "Weasel Girl, Weasel Girl, let down your hair." The man just narrowly missed being skewered again and climbed the braid that the girl let down. After a heated argument, the girl pushed the man out of the tower. The man landed on his feet, unharmed, as most protagonist cartoon characters do, and left, muttering some curses to himself. When Prince Aoshi was sure that the man was gone, he decided to try his luck. "Weasel Girl, Weasel Girl, let down your hair." Prince Aoshi warded off the rain of tobikunai with his kodachi and began to ascend the long braid. The weasel girl was quite taken aback when she realized that it was not the loud-mouthed chickenhead that came. "Prince Aoshi-sama! Have you come to save me and take me with you to live happily ever after?" "..." "I knew it! But how am I going to get down from here?" "..." "Oh, I know! Come to me each day and give me your long sash each time, and I'll make a rope so we can climb down." "Misao..." "Yes, Prince Aoshi-sama?" "How am I going to keep my pants up?" "Who says you'll need to?" Misao grinned wickedly and began to have her fun with her darling Prince Aoshi. It happened one day that the chickenhead discovered the weasel girl's plan to escape during one of his visits. "Why is it that my darling Prince Aoshi-sama is so much more nimble and delicate when climbing my hair?" she blurted out. "Oh, you've been seeing Prince Aoshi behind my back, haven't you?" "So?" Outraged, the spiky-haired man took the weasel girl away from the tower and deposited her in the nearby forest. After that, he waited outside the tower. When Prince Aoshi finally showed up for his daily visit, the chickenhead tried to use his Futae no Kiwami on him, but fortunately, Prince Aoshi dodged so the tower was hit instead. The tower collapsed on the chickenhead, but Prince Aoshi was left unscathed. Prince Aoshi found the weasel girl and took her away with him to the nearest Zen temple to gain inner peace and live happily ever after. THE END
