[PRP] Hide and seek champs (Kicheko & Upepo Juu Maji)

[Izzy Makani]

Maji loved to think of herself as the hide and seek champ of her litter mates but when it came to hiding there were times her noisy nature gave her away too easily. She still believed herself to be the champ all the same and today was no different. She was hiding behind some rocks in the cave den waiting for someone to come seeking her. She was doing good keeping still but she couldn't seem to stop giggling.

She covered her mouth as she tried to silence her giggles but there didn't seem to be anything she could do to be quiet. With her mouth covered she snorted her giggles out her nose. She was rather clueless though to how loud her snorts were and she did nothing to stop them thinking that just stiffling the giggles would keep her from being found.

Kicheko was pretty bad at hide and seek. Or rather, she was bad at hiding. She didn't like being out of sight for too long and sitting still was really, really boring. She loved seeking, on the other paw. Using her eyes and ears and nose to figure out where someone was was like hunting. She had to find that elusive fish in the water, or the sneaky antelope in the plains. Thankfully, her blue sister loved to play the game.

And she was pretty horrible at it if she did say so herself.

Kicheko wasn't even aware they were playing and she located her sister easily. She was giggling and snickering quietly, as always, and she moved to the rocks to investigate. Once she saw the white tail tuft peeking from the spot, she realized Maji was waiting for someone to find her. A little grin crossed her face as she lowered herself into a pouncing position.

"Hey Maaaaajiiiii," she called out, wiggling her rear in the air. "Where aaaare yooou?"

Maji recognized the voice calling out to her as her sister Kicheko. Her giggles got worse as Kicheko called out for her and there was nothing she could do to stop them now. She had both paws over her mouth now and even that was not muffling the laughter.

Oh she just knew Kicheko would never be able to find her behind these rocks. This hiding spot was her best ever after all. She'd never used it before but it was still her best ever!

Kicheko had to try very, very hard not to burst out laughing. Maji's tail flicked back behind the rock and out of sight, but the damage had been done. She was being so loud, though, even a deaf, blind warthog could find her! Maji was sweet, though, so Kich decided to ease up on her impending pounce to return to a neutral standing position.

"Huh...I could'a sworn I heard her," she thought out loud as she trotted to some of her other favorite hiding spots: behind the large rock where their mother would curl up against, a hole in the ground by the back of the cave, behind another small pile of rocks that was clearly far too small to hide even a cub behind. She paced around the whole cave, purposely leaving the rocks Maji was behind for last.

"Weird...one last place," she said as she bowed down again, a grin on her face. She jumped at the rocks and landed on top, perfect for spotting her sister. "Ha! There you are," she said, reaching down to swat at Maji's ear. "Found you!"

Maji tried to stiffle her giggles by clamping her mouth shut but she still couldn't manage to keep quiet. Kicheko was looking everywhere for her. Oh she knew this had been a good hiding spot. She continued to try to keep quiet as Kicheko checked each spot and her giggles became harder and harder to stifle.

She could tell the moment that Kicheko had run out of other hiding spots and she stiffened. How long would it be before Kicheko checked this spot... It wasn't long before all of a sudden Kicheko was right above her on top of the rock. She squealed at the surprise and then laughed. "You did but you had to look everywhere else first! I hid good!" She exclaimed as she stood up and put her front paws on the side of the rock so she was closer to Kicheko's face.

Sorry that took so long. ^^;

Kicheko had to laugh as her sister spoke up. Oh yeah, great hiding spot. It probably would have been a really good one if she hadn't been giggling the whole time. Deciding to keep it a little secret, Kicheko nodded as she slid down the rock and onto Maji.

"You sure did," she teased as she flopped onto her sister, making sure to be nothing but dead weight. She laughed and rolled onto the ground, pawing at Maji's legs and tail to try to get her to lay down, too. "Maybe you'll grow up to be a hunter like Dad, since you're so good at hiding."

She could see it now...all the animals running or swimming away as Maji 'sneakily' crept up on them, giggling and snickering the whole time. Hopefully there would be better hunters out there in the pride, otherwise they'd all starve. "Or maybe...some kind of spy! Spies have to hide really well, too!"

And again, her sister's cover would be blown unless she could learn how to stifle her giggles. Kicheko grinned at the though before bursting out laughing.

"Oof!" Maji barked out as the air was pushed from her lungs when Kicheko dropped down on her from the top of the rock. Once Kicheko rolled off her she was already on the ground so she laid her head down on the ground too and tried to get her breath back.

"Hey I could be a hunter! Or a spy! Those would both be so cool!" She exclaimed as she thought about it. She could sneak through other prides and come back with information for the king. She could gain honor for helping get the information that saved the pride. Oh how exciting!

She was brought from her day dream when her sister burst into laughter. "What?!" She exclaimed as she looked at her sister all confused. "What are you laughing about? What's so funny?"

Kicheko ended up laughing so hard she snorted. She covered her muzzle with her paws but continued to laugh, rolling on to her back in delight. Oh, Maji didn't even realize how loud she was! It just made it even more funny in her eyes.

"You're so loud when you hide!" she finally blurted out, laughing loudly. "I knew exactly where you were 'cause you were gigglin'! Oh man...Maji you're such a bad hider," she said with a sigh, a smile still on her face as her laughter finally died down. Man...that was just way too funny.

She rolled onto her stomach again to look at her sister, teeth bared in a grin. "Maybe if you practice bein' quiet you'll be a good spy," she teased, reaching out to bat at her sister's ear. "But even a deaf zebra could hear you a mile away with all that laughin'! Maaaan you're so baaad!" She started to laugh again, this time more of a chuckle. She didn't mean to be mean, of course. She just thought it was hilarious that Maji really thought she was good at hiding.

Maji's smile turned upside down into a frown when Kicheko explained why she was laughing. Her ideas to train to be a spy went out the window very quickly.

"Why did you say I was a good hider if I'm not? That's mean." She said a little grumpy by Kicheko's fibs. "You know mom said lying is bad and now you have to be punished!"

Just as she said the last of her statement she leapt onto Kicheko and started trying to wrestle her so she could pin her to the ground.

SilverLutz

Sorry that is really short. D:

Kicheko grinned at her sister and stuck her tongue out a bit to tease her. She knew lying was bad, but this had just been in fun! She told her, so it didn't count, right? She was answered when Maji tackled her to the ground, a little yelp of surprise leaving her mouth.

"Hey, I wasn't ready!" she said as she squirmed, trying to get the upper hand in the little tussle. Maji had pounced very well, though, and her shoulders were pinned to the ground so tightly that she knew there was no way she'd get up unless her sister got off her. She hated to lose though, and continued to struggle for a few minutes before going limp.

"Fine, fine," she muttered, her ears back. "I'm sorry I teased you. But you really are loud! You gotta be more quiet when you're hiding, otherwise you'll get found real easily. Laughin's for when you're playing with someone you can see, not when you're trying to stay hidden.'

Maji grinned triumphantly when her sister went limp. She had her held down in just the perfect spot and she wasn't going anywhere. Perhaps that was what Maji needed to try. Something where she could wrestle others and pin them but she couldn't think of any task that really needed that technique.

"I'll try to remember that next time so I can win at hide and seek." Maji replied and then with a playful grin she licked her sisters face from the bottom of her jaw all the way up to the top of her ear. "Love you Kicheko."

SilverLutz

We could probably fin this with this post or one more from you. <3

 

[SilverLutz]

"Yeah, win for real," Kicheko agreed with a grin. Good! As much as she found it hilarious, she did like helping her siblings out. They were still cubs, of course, so there was no harm in being bad at games. And if Maji was loud, then it would just mean that every time Kicheko had to seek, she'd win! Not a bad thing, in her book.

The long lick made her squirm and laugh again, pawing at her sister's chest to try to get her to stop. "Maji, that's grooooooss," she complained, wiping at her cheek with her paw. Once she was somewhat dry she leaned up and nipped Maji's chin lightly in response. "Love you too, Maj. Now let's play tag. You're it!"

She bumped her paw against Maji's chest before squirming out from under her and taking off, laughing the whole way. Tag you could be loud in, after all!

Woo! All done!
