Notes from the cabbit: Konyananichiwa! Copy cabbit here, with yet another insane Fushigi Yuugi fanfic! Remember how in…*scratches her head* Anou…I think it's in Episode 11 or 12, Chichiri volunteers to pose as Hotohori while the real Hotohori goes off to help Miaka and Nuriko. Well, I wondered, what happened during that time? This is my interpretation. Also, of course, it's an AU.

Chapter One: Pretty Hotohori, no da!

Chichiri sang to himself as he pranced happily throughout his, err…Hotohori's bedchamber. "Attaina aeaina setsuaina kono kimochi…NO DA!" he sang.

All of a sudden, a soldier came in. "Your Majesty," he started.

"Yes, no da?" Chichiri/Hotohori asked.

The soldier started at him for a few seconds before responding. "Daijoubu? Lately, you've been acting…"

"Hai, no da?" Chichiri/Hotohori asked.

"Odd…" the solider finished.

Chitochori (Anou…it takes too much space to write out Chichiri/Hotohori, so I've combined the two names. Am I a genius or what?) blinked a few times before responding. "Nani, no da? What do you mean, odd, no da?" he asked again.

"Anou…well, Your Majesty, it's just that lately, you've been acting, well, odd," the soldier said for the second time.

Chitochori, no realizing this case of déjà vu, once again blinked. "Nani, no da? What do you mean, odd, no da?" he asked again.

Unfortunately, the two hadn't come to understand that they were repeating themselves, so once again, the solider spoke.

"Anou…well, Your Majesty, it's just that lately, you've been acting, well, odd," the soldier said yet again.

Because stupidity is contagious, Chitochori once again blinked. "Nani, no da? What do you mean, odd, no da?" he asked once again.

Before the soldier could reply, Copy cabbit suddenly appeared, dressed as Meru, and carrying a large hammer. She hit both Chitochori and the soldier in the head, keeping them from repeating themselves again.

"Nani? Who are you, no da?" Chitochori asked.

Copy cabbit thought for a second before replying. "Anou…Watashi Ryuno Himeko! I'm a childhood friend of yours, Hotohori!" she said.

"Nani? I don't seem to remember you, no da," Chitochori said.

Himeko looked shocked. "How could you not remember!? We've been friends since…forever!" she said. "Remember how I beat up Nuriko?"

*flashback*

*Chibi Himeko, Chibi Hotohori, and Chibi Nuriko are all playing in the sandbox, Chibi Nuriko dressed like a girl, with his hair in pigtails, of course. All of a sudden, Chibi Nuriko grabs Chibi Hotohori's arm and proceeds to drag him away.*

Chibi Himeko: Oi! Where are you taking Hoto-chan?!

Chibi Nuriko: I want him to play dress-up with me.

Chibi Himeko: Well, I'm taking him to play on the swing set, so you can't!

Chibi Nuriko: Says who!?

Chibi Himeko: Me!

Chibi Nuriko: Oh yeah?

Chibi Himeko: Yeah!

Chibi Hotohori: Onegai, stop!

Chibi Himeko: 'kay, Hoto-chan!

Chibi Nuriko: *kicks some sand at Chibi Himeko* Nerd!

Chibi Himeko: *dumps a bucket of sand over Chibi Nuriko's head* Freak!

Chibi Nuriko: You got sand in my hair, nerd!

Chibi Himeko: Nuh uh, freak!

Chibi Nuriko: Nerd!

Chibi Himeko: Freak!

Chibi Nuriko: Nerd!

Chibi Himeko: Freak!

Chibi Hotohori: Onegai! Onegai! Stop!

*Chibi Nuriko and Chibi Himeko stop*

Chibi Nuriko: She started it!

Chibi Himeko: Nuh uh!

Chibi Nuriko: Uh huh!

Chibi Himeko: Nuh uh!

*end flashback*

"Of course, in the end, I knocked he living daylights out of Nuriko…" Himeko said.

Chitochori nodded. "Oh…I see, no da," he said. The guard just looked at Himeko, dumbfounded.

Himeko grinned, then frowned as another thought came to mind. "Matte…" she said.

Chitochori sweatdropped. "Hai, no da?" he asked nervously.

"From what I remember, Hotohori was very vain and obsessed with himself," Himeko started.

Chitochori gulped, and nervously looked around. He finally spotted a mirror, and picked it up. "Pretty Hotohori, no da! Very kirei, no da! So pretty it's scary, no da!" he said.

Himeko looked at him, dumbfounded, then shook her head, and hit Chitochori with her hammer. "Hai hai, that's enough…" she said.

Chitochori rubbed his sore head, then looked back at Himeko. "Anou…by the way, why are you here, no da?" he asked.

Himeko laughed. "Silly, how could you forget!?" she asked.

"Forget what, no da?" Chitochori asked.

Himeko grinned. "Forget that you and me are going to be married!" she said, then nodded in self-affirmation. "Hai hai, you promised to marry me when I came back, and here I am, so…WE'RE GONNA GET MARRIED!"
