<hr />
<div>== Name ==<br />
<br />
=== Meaning === <br />
Due to the fact that Kuramori's dream was never explicitly stated in the series much conjecture exist about the meaning of Kuramori's name. Many theories exist involving the nature of Kuramori's dream. The most accepted meaning of Kuramori's dream is that it means "Dark Forest" from the words "Kura" meaning dark or gloomy and "mori" meaning forest. Other possible explainations include "kuraire" meaning store room and "mori" meaning guardian. When the two words are added together it means storeroom guardian. A third and possibly more ironic explaination is the word "Kuramu" meaning to become dizzy and "Mori" meaning a babysitter.<br />
<br />
=== Significance ===<br />
The problem with the name is that both are possible. The name "Dark forest" could possibly reflect Kuramori's act of venturing into the Forest looking for medicine for the sin bound Reki. The name Storeroom Guardian is also possible due to the fact that Kuramori was the only older feather seen during the time of Reki's birth. The third name makes sense due to the sickly disposition of Kuramori after finding Reki's medicine.<br />
<br />
== Character ==<br />
<br />
===Physical Discription===<br />
Kuramori is an older Haibane with brown hair and glasses. Due to the fact that glasses would be a difficult item to find second hand, it is very possible that she was the previous owner of the glasses that Hikari uses during the time of the show. Although this cannot be proven, the glasses have a very simular style which add fuel to such theories. Kuramori's main outfit included a white sweater and an orange skirt.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Although very little is shown of Kuramori's personality the way she delt with Reki's birth shows a few key aspects. Kuramori's most memorable trait is her caring attitude. Before Reki and Nemu appeared it is apparent that she cared for all of the young feathers that lived in Old Home. Her caring nature is also shown by how she dealt with Reki at the time of her birth. Even though Reki suffered from an unknown illness, Kuramori was willing to help her.<br />

Reki is the unspoken leader of [[Old Home]].<br />
<br />
Together with Nemu they run the Southern Guri Mafia, employing Young Feathers for unpaid day-long sweatshop work. Kana, one of their henchmen, is also know as the ''Great Carrot Monster''.<br />
<br />
Actually, no. The previous paragraph was a half-baked attempt at humour.<br />
<br />
For others, Reki is both a mother and father figure, distanced yet concerned. She is haunted by her past and recurring nightmares. Incompletely remembering her cocoon dream, she paints (pictures, not walls) in a hope of recovering it.<br />
<br />
== Profiling ==<br />
<br />
=== Before the series' events ===<br />
Reki hatched 7 years before the beginning of the story, in a storage shack at [[Old Home]], during winter. Probably due to this was the apparent lack of noticing her cocoon by Old Home's inhabitants at that time. She was found by [[Nemu]], frost-bitten andf lying uncosciously on the floor, with her wings already grown. The wings were stained black.<br />
<br />
Noticing this evoked fear (and possibly, disgust) in [[Nemu]], who, believing this to be a sign of impurity (see [[Sin-Bound]]), initially avoided her. [[Kuramori]], however, showed acceptance and trust towards her, going as far as entering the depths of the [[Western Woods]] to gather medicinal herbs for making a dye to cover Reki's stained wings, as told to her by [[Washi]]. However, these trips (and the apparent closeness of the [[Wall]] to the Woods) posed a threat to her very delicate health. In the {{ep|10}} flashback she is shown to have collapsed in exhaustion while returning from the Woods.[[Reki#Notes|[1]]].<br />
<br />
This furthered Nemu's hatred. In addition to Reki being apparently responsible for endangering Kuramori, it seems that Nemu was jealous of having to "share" her "personal privileges" to the benefits from Kuramori's labours with a seemingly careless outsider. '''(someone, please, rewrite this sentence)'''<br />
<br />
Seeing Reki's apparent concerns (in the flashback she returned food from the town to cook for Kuramori, who was still recovering) relieved Nemu and began to break up her coldness towards Reki. She is assigned the job of looking after newly arrived haibane. (Perhaps this foreshadows Kuramori's impending Flight?)<br />
<br />
Kuramori promised Reki to be always by her side, however, she was unaware just how seriously Reki took those words. Because of her traumatic birth as a haibane (echoing the abandonment that most probably lead to her death as a human) she was in desperate need for caring and love. Kuramori's taking of the [[Day of Flight|Flight]] devastated Reki. Nemu's bringing up the legend of the Day of Flight from her research at the library did not help the case either.<br />
<br />
In grief, Reki ran away from Old Home. She was found loitering in Guri during a storm by [[Hyohko]] who, seeing her helplessness, brought her to the [[Abandoned Factory]], where he also belonged. He found out about Reki's black wings and offered to paint them so she wouldn't have to use the dye. (This is stated explicitly in the doujinshi's [[The Doujinshi|Extra Chapter]]. Also note the [[Bell Nuts#Colours and Messages|colour]] of the paint he uses.)<br />
<br />
Reki told him about Kuramori's leaving. Hyohko, seeing her despair, decided to climb over the wall with Reki so she could have been reunited with Kuramori. He drove a wedge into the wall for the rope but the ladder he was standing on collapsed in the process, leaving Hyohko severely (if not critically) injured. Reki is shown to be in shock and inactivity thereafter. What happened after this is not shown.<br />
<br />
Hyohko managed to survive. Reki was captured by the community watch and held captive in a jail, presumably in the Temple, for an unmentioned amount of time. While there, she vowed not to commit any more mistakes and act as a [[Good Haibane|good haibane]] should. This is only shown in the Extra Chapter but is likely canon.<br />
<br />
Years pass and unmentioned events happen. One day, while moving her belongings from the Old Home guest room, she notices a peculiar noise while passing near a room. Opening the door she sees a full-grown haibane [[cocoon]] inside.<br />
<br />
=== In the series ===<br />
This section is a placeholder.<br />
<br />
== Case study ==<br />
This is a placeholder. See the subsection below.<br />
<br />
=== Cocoon dream ===<br />
Reki's dream is the other one, besides that of Rakka that the viewer actually gets to see.<br />
<br />
From what little she mentions about the circumstances before she was run over (in her dream) by the [[Ectoplasmic train|train]], it is clear that she was fleeing, presumably victimized by child abuse. It can be speculated that no one would have looked after her, therefore, even if she actually called for help, no one would have been there to hear that. (''"What if I called out for help from the bottom of my heart and nobody answered?"'' --Reki, {{ep|13}})<br />
<br />
It is quite ambiguous whether her cas was actually suicide, and if so, if it was intended to be such from the beginning. One could argue that a conscious choice of suicide with full realization of the consequences arising cannot be made at such a young age (12 or so). Suicide as a means to end further suffering (from child abuse or uncaring, perhaps) can, however, be justified as a possibility.<br />
<br />
She mentions that, moments before her death, she simply resorted to inactivity, not to suffer any more, freezing into motionlessness, akin to a stone. This may suggest that she stumbled upon the tracks and when a train was approaching, seeing no meaning in stepping aside, she simply waited there for her doom.<br />
<br />
'''Slight speculation follows.'''<br />
<br />
In a Freudian context, this is the desire to return to the state of non-being, the overflowing of ''destrudo'' or the death drive, usually manifesting in situations which fall beyond the capabilities of one's coping mechanisms, rendering any further resistance or intervention futile. It is also linked with the desire to return to infancy, which is probably quite egoless. But again, this is not ''Evangelion'', so the case might be different.<br />

<hr />
<div>== Washi ==<br />
<br />
Spokesman for, and probable leader of, the Haibane Renme, The Washi is the 'Voice' of the renmei in it's dealings with it's charges, the town and the outside world.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that 'Washi' (''communicator'' or ''speaker'') Is a title, rather than a proper name. The name of the current washi, like those of all the renmei, is unknown. (see 'renmei' and 'true names') <br />
<br />
How the Washi is chosen from among the renmei, and wether there are any special requirements for the role, are also unknown. Although it may be a matter of seniority.<br />
<br />
The current washi appears to be an elderly man. Like all members of the renmei he wears an elaborate ceremonial costume which identifies it's wearers function, while concealing thier identity.<br />

<div style="white-space: pre"><br />
Once upon a time<br />
On a bright Sunday<br />
Two young haibane girls rested<br />
On the edge between blue and green<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== * ==<br />
<br />
"That one looks like a crow, see? Over there..." Youkou pointed at a small gray cloud that was hanging high in the sky.<br />
<br />
"You're right...and this one, to the left...it looks like a haibane swinging a broom," Hana answered. "Must be Kana." The two haibane kids giggled.<br />
<br />
The clouds floated over them, wandering quietly through the sky above. They lay next to each other on the Hill of Winds in the shadow of a windmill's shaft. A slight breeze made its blades turn, slowly and constantly...the deep humming of the rotor complemented the monotone chirping of the crickets around them.<br />
<br />
Hana looked over at Youkou's dark eyes, which mirrored the bright azure. She was so happy. Summer had always been her favorite season. Closing her eyes, she dozed off for a moment.<br />
<br />
"Hana?"<br />
<br />
She awoke from the snooze, but the meadow she had dreamed of was the one they were resting on. So Hana wasn't sure if she really had been asleep.<br />
<br />
"Mmh?" The girl sat upright and followed Youkou's trembling index finger up to the big white cloud that had been Kana. It had eaten up the gray crow cloud to resemble a strange figure...<br />
<br />
"An elephant?" Hana guessed.<br />
<br />
Youkou shook her head. She seemed to be afraid of it, her voice was urgent. "It looks like the Great Carrot Monster..."<br />
<br />
An image blinked up in Hana's mind: Reki was leaning over her chair from behind, her face upside down, her long black hair falling over the halo, giving her stare a frightening appearance. Hana looked at the cloud again. All she could see was a nice, fluffy elephant. But Reki's stories of the Carrot Monster had been really frightening. Hana felt the slight whisper of panic in her heart when she looked into Youkou's fearful eyes.<br />
<br />
Then she remembered that Youkou never had the chance to meet Reki. She and her twin sister Harou had only arrived shortly after Reki...went over the wall. Involuntary, Hana turned her head towards the Western Woods. Rakka had explained to the Young Feathers that Reki was really happy when she left into the woods to fly into distant lands. Hana had cried a lot for some days. When the twins arrived, she finally calmed down...but she was still missing Reki. And she could see that the Old Feathers missed her, too.<br />
<br />
So, where did Youkou pick up that story? Hana turned back to her: "You know about the Great Carrot Monster?"<br />
<br />
Youkou nodded, hugging herself as if she was cold. "Dai told me."<br />
<br />
Hana put a hand on her friend's shoulder. Dai surely had come up with his own, much more menacing version.<br />
<br />
"Is it...true?" Youkou whispered.<br />
<br />
"Maybe not," Hana answered. "I've never seen it."<br />
<br />
According to Reki, the monster was huge and very evil: "It haunts naughty children in their sleep," Reki had told the Young feathers one night. "If you don't finish your lunch, it might even hurt you. And if lunch includes carrots, and you don't eat all of them, you are in serious danger: The monster will eat you instead. And, after that, the rest of your carrots."<br />
<br />
Hana had always eaten her carrots. Maybe the monster was still out there...she looked again at the forrest, and felt a cold shiver. The wind turned, making the windmill moan, and the dark shadow of the long rotating blades fell onto the two little haibane. Youkou was shaking. They hugged each other and looked up to the big cloud, which was slowly mutating into a gigantic carrot.<br />
<br />
== ** ==<br />
<br />
Suddenly, a voice called from below, and the two girls gave a start. "Hey! Youkou! Hana!"<br />
<br />
They turned their heads to see Harou sprinting up the hill from behind, chased by Hikari. She resembled her sister, only her skin was pale, while Youkou's was slightly tanned. Both had black hair and the same pair of black, astute eyes. Hikari was laughing and breathless.<br />
<br />
Harou sat down next to her sister. "What's up?" she asked, still panting. Youkou whispered in her ear, and Harou's eyes grew wide. Hikari approached them, totally out of breath. She let her left hand fall gently on Harou's halo, which made a soft jingle: "Got you! Phew!" Then she let herself fall flat on the grass and closed her blue eyes, panting, but smiling.<br />
<br />
Soon, Hikari noticed that the kids were unusually quiet, so she sat up and saw into the pleading eyes of three trembling haibane sitting close together. Hana was in the middle, adapting to the shivers of the twins.<br />
<br />
The older haibane looked at them, puzzled. "Are you freezing?" she asked, and the trio shook their heads.<br />
<br />
"It's...we're afraid of the Carrot Monster," Hana said.<br />
<br />
Hikari gasped, then closed her mouth and nodded sympathetically.<br />
<br />
"Is there really such a big monster?" asked Harou.<br />
<br />
"With giant ears?" whispered Youkou.<br />
<br />
Hikari kept silent a while, then giggled, and finally broke out into a loud, high laughter. The girls watched her, completely horrified. Youkou started to cry.<br />
<br />
Holding her belly with one hand, Hikari wiped the tears from her eyes with the other. "I'm sorry, but I think your image of the Carrot Monster is completely wrong." She smiled and looked at the kids.<br />
<br />
Hana couldn't find that funny: "You speak as if you've seen it for yourself!" Youkou sobbed and looked up to Hikari, anger and fear in her eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari made a surprised face. "Of course I have seen it, Hana. That's why I am so sure that it is not dangerous at all. Actually, the monster is quite nice."<br />
<br />
"No way..." Harou shook her head in disbelief. Youkou sniffed and blinked with her wet eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari folded her legs and turned to them. "It was Reki who met the Carrot Monster first. I can tell you the story if you want." The three little haibane changed puzzled looks.<br />
<br />
"Please, go ahead," Hana nodded, still not sure if Hikari was making fun of them. Real or not, the Great Carrot Monster was serious stuff, and no subject for jokes.<br />
<br />
Hikari studied the ground, picking up some blades of grass, and began to twist them. She took a deep breath, and started: "You know, Reki was still a young girl when it happened. She was about the same age as you are, Youkou. She had two long, black pigtails..."<br />
<br />
"I also want pigtails!" interrupted Harou.<br />
<br />
"Hey, do you want me to tell the story or not?" warned Hikari. Harou blushed and closed her mouth.<br />
<br />
== *** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari plucked a daisy and started to weave it into the grass plait. "As I was saying, Reki was a Young Feather, just like you. And she hated carrots. The house mother was not very pleased. Each time carrots where on the table, Reki made a fuss and no one was able to persuade her. She was quiet a pighead...<br />
<br />
"One day, the battle was so hard that Reki finally ran away. She ran through the hole in the north wall, right into the Western Wood."<br />
<br />
Harou gulped. Hikari looked up and said to them in a serious tone: "You know that you must never go in there, do you?"<br />
<br />
The kids nodded like good haibane, and Hikari went back to her floristic craftwork.<br />
<br />
"So, Reki ran deep into the forrest, and it was already evening when she realized that she had no idea how to find back. She walked and walked. But the night came fast, and she couldn't even see the stars, because the sky was hidden by the trees."<br />
<br />
Hana didn't know why, but she was hypnotized by the movement of Hikari's fingers, creating what looked like a green snake with white dots. She reached at some blades of grass before her and tried to copy the movements while Hikari continued.<br />
<br />
"Reki sat down and cried, but she was alone. She hadn't lost all her hope, so she stood up again and stepped through the black forrest, stumbling over roots, and hearing strange sounds from everywhere. Sometimes she heard loud thuds from behind, as if a large animal was following her.<br />
<br />
"Reki stopped, trying not to move, not even breathe, and listened into the night. Only the wind was howling through the upper branches of the trees...and then, a loud crack made her jump and duck quickly behind a big root. She gazed into the direction it had come from, but could only see two very dim lights in the dark. She stared at them for a while, and suddenly she realized that they were two eyes, staring back at her!"<br />
<br />
If the crickets on the meadow had ears to follow Hikari's story, they surely would have fallen silent now. Youkou, Hana and Harou could hear their hearts pounding, but Hana continued to twist another daisy blossom in her plait of grass.<br />
<br />
"Reki was too terrified to even move. The two eyes flew higher and draw nearer to her. She could feel heavy footsteps shaking the ground. Someone, or better, something was breathing, deeply and ominously.<br />
<br />
"Unexpectantly, a torch was lit, and she could see it: A giant black furry creature with very short legs, very long arms, and tiny head with only small, blue eyes on it. It was holding the torch with its right hand, looking at Reki...somehow, the gaze was not really frightening...but rather anxious.<br />
<br />
"At first, Reki did not realize where the soft, high voice came from. But then, she discovered a small gap beyond the two blue eyes, like a mouth, although she couldn't see teeth.<br />
<br />
"'Are you all right?' piped the monster. Reki was so taken aback that she only managed to whisper a 'Yes'.<br />
<br />
"The mouth of the giant monster seemed to bow into a smile, and its eyes changed from a dim blue into a friendly orange.<br />
<br />
"'Oh, that's good. You're lost, aren't you? If you come with me, I can show you the way out of the forest.'<br />
<br />
"Slowly, it reached out its left paw to Reki, and waited. Reki looked at the paw, than back into the glowing orange eyes. Somehow, this creature seemed to emanate warmth and friendliness...Reki carefully stood up behind her hideout and responded to the gesture of the Monster to follow."<br />
<br />
The wind turned again and the windmills moaned as they simultaneously adapted to the new direction. The shadows stretched as the sun went down, announcing the evening. The crickets didn't mind any of this.<br />
<br />
"Reki and the Monster had wandered silently through the woods for some time when a question came to Reki's mind.<br />
<br />
"'What is your name?' she asked.<br />
<br />
"The monster stopped, and the color of its eyes changed into crimson. It looked down, as if ashamed of the question. 'I...don't have a name. I'm sorry.' The monster stepped self-consciously from one foot to another. 'You are the first person I meet, so I didn't need a name until now...well, actually I have met other people before, but they just called me "Monster", and I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"It seemed to Reki that this strange creature probably needed more help that herself. Monster obviously wanted to change the subject, and continued to walk.<br />
<br />
"'Why are you here in this forest?' it asked. 'It is dangerous here, you know, for you birds.'<br />
<br />
"Reki felt that Monster didn't really know much about what was going on outside the forest. But she could live with being mistaken for a bird.<br />
<br />
"'I...I fled. From the others. They wanted me to eat carrots, but I don't like carrots. So I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"Monster's eyes turned yellow: 'But, carrots are very healthy! They make your eyes sharp, and your wings strong. I have a big garden myself, full of carrots, and I eat them every day.' Its eyes became deep red again. 'In fact, carrots are the only thing I eat.'<br />
<br />
"Reki stared. That was the strangest thing she ever heard of: A giant monster with claws like a bear, only eating vegetables?"<br />
<br />
Hikari's plait was now about as long as her arm, and she bent it into a circle.<br />
<br />
"The thought made Reki laugh. The monster stared at her, surprised, but then joined in with a strange high-pitched chuckle.<br />
<br />
"'You know what?' said Reki. 'I have a name for you. Look, you are a monster, you can't do anything about it. You should be proud of being big! I wish I was as big as you.' Monster blinked, and didn't know what to say.<br />
<br />
"Reki cleared her throat: 'I hereby name you Great Carrot Monster.'<br />
<br />
"They stepped out of the forest onto a large field, and Reki could see Hill of Winds again.<br />
<br />
"Monster stared at Reki with green eyes, then it said: 'Thank you! I really like my name. Thank you. You are a very kind bird.'<br />
<br />
"Reki blushed. 'You're welcome...in fact, I have to thank you for saving me.<br />
<br />
"The eyes of the Great Carrot Monster dimmed into red again. 'Oh, never mind,' it said and ran back into the forest."<br />
<br />
== **** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari finished the green blossom ring, stood up, and sat down behind Youkou, who was not crying anymore. She carefully pulled the girl's halo aback, and placed the grassy circlet onto her head.<br />
<br />
Youkou reached up to touch her precious crown. "So, there you go. Feeling better?" Hikari asked. The girl nodded, and finally reminded to close her mouth, which had been open for quite a while since she was absorbed by the story.<br />
<br />
Hana noticed Harou's disappointment, and held up the ring she had made herself. The two girls smiled at each other, and Harou turned around to be crowned, too.<br />
<br />
The four haibane stood up, yawning and stretching their arms and legs. Hikari said that it was time for dinner now, and they slowly walked back to Old Home.<br />
<br />
Youkou and Harou walked hand in hand, and their gray wings shone golden in the evening sun. Hikari and Hana walked a little slower and fell behind. They looked at the evening sky, shielding their eyes from the blending red sunset. "The clouds are all gone now...tomorrow will be sunny, I'm sure," said Hikari.<br />
<br />
"Hikari...can we go visit the Carrot Monster?" asked Hana and looked into the west, where the trees of the forest waved slowly in the wind.<br />
<br />
"I'm not sure...it is very shy, you know...and it probably doesn't live in the Western Woods any more," Hikari answered.<br />
<br />
"Then we should go and check if it is still there," Hana insisted. "It can show us the carrot garden!"<br />
<br />
"Well..."<br />
<br />
"Where did it move to?" Hana looked very earnestly up to Hikari. She wouldn't let go of the topic, that was sure.<br />
<br />
"I don't know..." Hikari started to feel uncomfortable. "Maybe it went into the clock tower in the city..."<br />
<br />
Hana was surprised: "Really?" She stared down at her feet as she walked, thinking intensely. After a while, she looked up and beamed.<br />
<br />
"I'll go and ask Kana then!"<br />
<br />
After that, Hana ran down the hill, outrunning the twins, and sprinting right through the hole in the northern wall.<br />
<br />
Hikari chuckled nervously and mumbled: "Oh no. What have I done? Poor Kana..."<br />
<br />
But the recently crowned Youkou-hime was pulling on her brown skirt: "Hikari?"<br />
<br />
"Mmh?"<br />
<br />
"We want pigtails!"<br />
<br />
"Pigtails?"<br />
<br />
"Like Reki!" said Harou. The twins nodded in unison.<br />
<br />
"Erm...sure..." answered Hikari, a bit puzzled by the question.<br />
<br />
She folded her arms, and shook her head. "You didn't really listen to the story, did you?" The twins looked at each other in confusion.<br />
<br />
Hikari shrugged. "Whatever. I'll show you how to do it, but tomorrow. Can you two princesses help me to set the table for dinner?"<br />
<br />
The girls beamed. "Sure!" Youkou said, and Harou nodded.<br />
<br />
== ***** ==<br />
<br />
As they entered the courtyard, they saw three Haibane standing beyond the balcony. Hana was nudging Kana, who held her ears pretending to be deaf, and chanted: "Ba ba ba, I can't hear you, what do you say? Ba ba, no, I can't understand, must be the wind, ba ba ba ba ba..." Rakka stood behind them, covering her mouth and snorting with laughter.<br />
<br />
"You're so mean!" shouted Hana angrily.<br />
<br />
"Hikari, you have to tell us that story some day!" said Rakka, putting her hand on Hana's head, who was clearly fuming.<br />
<br />
Hikari blushed, and Kana threw an exhausted look at her: "Please tell her that there are no Carrot Monsters hiding in the clock tower!"<br />
<br />
"I am sure Oyakata would have noticed if there was a bugbear in the basement..." said Nemu, who had come from the eastern wing to join the others.<br />
<br />
Hikari pushed Hana and the twins to the tower, where the house mother was already waiting for the kids to help in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"What is this all about?" Nemu asked.<br />
<br />
"Hikari told her that the Great Carrot Monster hides in the clock tower," said Rakka, still laughing.<br />
<br />
"Oh no! How could she!" Nemu covered her mouth and looked at Kana, pretending heavy concern. "She didn't think of the consequences..."<br />
<br />
Kana frowned and threw an angry look after Hikari. "Well, obviously not."<br />
<br />
Rakka winked: "I guess Reki's legend lives on." Then she whispered: "But you wouldn't want to put an end on it, would you?"<br />
<br />
Kana stared at Rakka and Nemu for a few moments, who just grinned back at her. Then she hung her head in defeat.<br />
<br />
"I will make pasta today. Can you help me with the sauce, Nemu?" Rakka asked, and Nemu nodded. "Sumika gave me a recipe for excellent Carbonara...I hope we have enough Parmesan left. Did you know that the name 'Carbonara' comes from 'charcoal'? I've read about it in a book I recently..."<br />
<br />
The two haibane left into the house, and Kana stood alone on the yard. The Young Feathers were yelling to her left, and behind her she could hear the crows having another party with the trash incinerator.<br />
<br />
"Oh, you will get your story," Kana said to herself with an evil grin. "I'll make sure they won't forget!"<br />
<br />
She started to laugh wickedly and stepped into the house.</div>Murphyhttp://haibaniki.rubychan.de/index.php?title=User:Murphy&diff=1821User:Murphy2009-08-30T00:57:58Z<p>Murphy: fan fiction</p>

<br />
{{Topic|1865|Orignal version}}<br />
<br />
== poem ==<br />
<br />
<div style="white-space: pre"><br />
Once upon a time<br />
On a bright Sunday<br />
Two young haibane girls rested<br />
On the edge between blue and green<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== * ==<br />
<br />
"That one looks like a crow, see? Over there..." Youkou pointed at a small gray cloud that was hanging high in the sky.<br />
<br />
"You're right...and this one, to the left...it looks like a haibane swinging a broom," Hana answered. "Must be Kana." The two haibane kids giggled.<br />
<br />
The clouds floated over them, wandering quietly through the sky above. They lay next to each other on the Hill of Winds in the shadow of a windmill's shaft. A slight breeze made its blades turn, slowly and constantly...the deep humming of the rotor complemented the monotone chirping of the crickets around them.<br />
<br />
Hana looked over at Youkou's dark eyes, which mirrored the bright azure. She was so happy. Summer had always been her favorite season. Closing her eyes, she dozed off for a moment.<br />
<br />
"Hana?"<br />
<br />
She awoke from the snooze, but the meadow she had dreamed of was the one they were resting on. So Hana wasn't sure if she really had been asleep.<br />
<br />
"Mmh?" The girl sat upright and followed Youkou's trembling index finger up to the big white cloud that had been Kana. It had eaten up the gray crow cloud to resemble a strange figure...<br />
<br />
"An elephant?" Hana guessed.<br />
<br />
Youkou shook her head. She seemed to be afraid of it, her voice was urgent. "It looks like the Great Carrot Monster..."<br />
<br />
An image blinked up in Hana's mind: Reki was leaning over her chair from behind, her face upside down, her long black hair falling over the halo, giving her stare a frightening appearance. Hana looked at the cloud again. All she could see was a nice, fluffy elephant. But Reki's stories of the Carrot Monster had been really frightening. Hana felt the slight whisper of panic in her heart when she looked into Youkou's fearful eyes.<br />
<br />
Then she remembered that Youkou never had the chance to meet Reki. She and her twin sister Harou had only arrived shortly after Reki...went over the wall. Involuntary, Hana turned her head towards the Western Woods. Rakka had explained to the Young Feathers that Reki was really happy when she left into the woods to fly into distant lands. Hana had cried a lot for some days. When the twins arrived, she finally calmed down...but she was still missing Reki. And she could see that the Old Feathers missed her, too.<br />
<br />
So, where did Youkou pick up that story? Hana turned back to her: "You know about the Great Carrot Monster?"<br />
<br />
Youkou nodded, hugging herself as if she was cold. "Dai told me."<br />
<br />
Hana put a hand on her friend's shoulder. Dai surely had come up with his own, much more menacing version.<br />
<br />
"Is it...true?" Youkou whispered.<br />
<br />
"Maybe not," Hana answered. "I've never seen it."<br />
<br />
According to Reki, the monster was huge and very evil: "It haunts naughty children in their sleep," Reki had told the Young feathers one night. "If you don't finish your lunch, it might even hurt you. And if lunch includes carrots, and you don't eat all of them, you are in serious danger: The monster will eat you instead. And, after that, the rest of your carrots."<br />
<br />
Hana had always eaten her carrots. Maybe the monster was still out there...she looked again at the forrest, and felt a cold shiver. The wind turned, making the windmill moan, and the dark shadow of the long rotating blades fell onto the two little haibane. Youkou was shaking. They hugged each other and looked up to the big cloud, which was slowly mutating into a gigantic carrot.<br />
<br />
== ** ==<br />
<br />
Suddenly, a voice called from below, and the two girls gave a start. "Hey! Youkou! Hana!"<br />
<br />
They turned their heads to see Harou sprinting up the hill from behind, chased by Hikari. She resembled her sister, only her skin was pale, while Youkou's was slightly tanned. Both had black hair and the same pair of black, astute eyes. Hikari was laughing and breathless.<br />
<br />
Harou sat down next to her sister. "What's up?" she asked, still panting. Youkou whispered in her ear, and Harou's eyes grew wide. Hikari approached them, totally out of breath. She let her left hand fall gently on Harou's halo, which made a soft jingle: "Got you! Phew!" Then she let herself fall flat on the grass and closed her blue eyes, panting, but smiling.<br />
<br />
Soon, Hikari noticed that the kids were unusually quiet, so she sat up and saw into the pleading eyes of three trembling haibane sitting close together. Hana was in the middle, adapting to the shivers of the twins.<br />
<br />
The older haibane looked at them, puzzled. "Are you freezing?" she asked, and the trio shook their heads.<br />
<br />
"It's...we're afraid of the Carrot Monster," Hana said.<br />
<br />
Hikari gasped, then closed her mouth and nodded sympathetically.<br />
<br />
"Is there really such a big monster?" asked Harou.<br />
<br />
"With giant ears?" whispered Youkou.<br />
<br />
Hikari kept silent a while, then giggled, and finally broke out into a loud, high laughter. The girls watched her, completely horrified. Youkou started to cry.<br />
<br />
Holding her belly with one hand, Hikari wiped the tears from her eyes with the other. "I'm sorry, but I think your image of the Carrot Monster is completely wrong." She smiled and looked at the kids.<br />
<br />
Hana couldn't find that funny: "You speak as if you've seen it for yourself!" Youkou sobbed and looked up to Hikari, anger and fear in her eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari made a surprised face. "Of course I have seen it, Hana. That's why I am so sure that it is not dangerous at all. Actually, the monster is quite nice."<br />
<br />
"No way..." Harou shook her head in disbelief. Youkou sniffed and blinked with her wet eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari folded her legs and turned to them. "It was Reki who met the Carrot Monster first. I can tell you the story if you want." The three little haibane changed puzzled looks.<br />
<br />
"Please, go ahead," Hana nodded, still not sure if Hikari was making fun of them. Real or not, the Great Carrot Monster was serious stuff, and no subject for jokes.<br />
<br />
Hikari studied the ground, picking up some blades of grass, and began to twist them. She took a deep breath, and started: "You know, Reki was still a young girl when it happened. She was about the same age as you are, Youkou. She had two long, black pigtails..."<br />
<br />
"I also want pigtails!" interrupted Harou.<br />
<br />
"Hey, do you want me to tell the story or not?" warned Hikari. Harou blushed and closed her mouth.<br />
<br />
== *** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari plucked a daisy and started to weave it into the grass plait. "As I was saying, Reki was a Young Feather, just like you. And she hated carrots. The house mother was not very pleased. Each time carrots where on the table, Reki made a fuss and no one was able to persuade her. She was quiet a pighead...<br />
<br />
"One day, the battle was so hard that Reki finally ran away. She ran through the hole in the north wall, right into the Western Wood."<br />
<br />
Harou gulped. Hikari looked up and said to them in a serious tone: "You know that you must never go in there, do you?"<br />
<br />
The kids nodded like good haibane, and Hikari went back to her floristic craftwork.<br />
<br />
"So, Reki ran deep into the forrest, and it was already evening when she realized that she had no idea how to find back. She walked and walked. But the night came fast, and she couldn't even see the stars, because the sky was hidden by the trees."<br />
<br />
Hana didn't know why, but she was hypnotized by the movement of Hikari's fingers, creating what looked like a green snake with white dots. She reached at some blades of grass before her and tried to copy the movements while Hikari continued.<br />
<br />
"Reki sat down and cried, but she was alone. She hadn't lost all her hope, so she stood up again and stepped through the black forrest, stumbling over roots, and hearing strange sounds from everywhere. Sometimes she heard loud thuds from behind, as if a large animal was following her.<br />
<br />
"Reki stopped, trying not to move, not even breathe, and listened into the night. Only the wind was howling through the upper branches of the trees...and then, a loud crack made her jump and duck quickly behind a big root. She gazed into the direction it had come from, but could only see two very dim lights in the dark. She stared at them for a while, and suddenly she realized that they were two eyes, staring back at her!"<br />
<br />
If the crickets on the meadow had ears to follow Hikari's story, they surely would have fallen silent now. Youkou, Hana and Harou could hear their hearts pounding, but Hana continued to twist another daisy blossom in her plait of grass.<br />
<br />
"Reki was too terrified to even move. The two eyes flew higher and draw nearer to her. She could feel heavy footsteps shaking the ground. Someone, or better, something was breathing, deeply and ominously.<br />
<br />
"Unexpectantly, a torch was lit, and she could see it: A giant black furry creature with very short legs, very long arms, and tiny head with only small, blue eyes on it. It was holding the torch with its right hand, looking at Reki...somehow, the gaze was not really frightening...but rather anxious.<br />
<br />
"At first, Reki did not realize where the soft, high voice came from. But then, she discovered a small gap beyond the two blue eyes, like a mouth, although she couldn't see teeth.<br />
<br />
"'Are you all right?' piped the monster. Reki was so taken aback that she only managed to whisper a 'Yes'.<br />
<br />
"The mouth of the giant monster seemed to bow into a smile, and its eyes changed from a dim blue into a friendly orange.<br />
<br />
"'Oh, that's good. You're lost, aren't you? If you come with me, I can show you the way out of the forest.'<br />
<br />
"Slowly, it reached out its left paw to Reki, and waited. Reki looked at the paw, than back into the glowing orange eyes. Somehow, this creature seemed to emanate warmth and friendliness...Reki carefully stood up behind her hideout and responded to the gesture of the Monster to follow."<br />
<br />
The wind turned again and the windmills moaned as they simultaneously adapted to the new direction. The shadows stretched as the sun went down, announcing the evening. The crickets didn't mind any of this.<br />
<br />
"Reki and the Monster had wandered silently through the woods for some time when a question came to Reki's mind.<br />
<br />
"'What is your name?' she asked.<br />
<br />
"The monster stopped, and the color of its eyes changed into crimson. It looked down, as if ashamed of the question. 'I...don't have a name. I'm sorry.' The monster stepped self-consciously from one foot to another. 'You are the first person I meet, so I didn't need a name until now...well, actually I have met other people before, but they just called me "Monster", and I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"It seemed to Reki that this strange creature probably needed more help that herself. Monster obviously wanted to change the subject, and continued to walk.<br />
<br />
"'Why are you here in this forest?' it asked. 'It is dangerous here, you know, for you birds.'<br />
<br />
"Reki felt that Monster didn't really know much about what was going on outside the forest. But she could live with being mistaken for a bird.<br />
<br />
"'I...I fled. From the others. They wanted me to eat carrots, but I don't like carrots. So I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"Monster's eyes turned yellow: 'But, carrots are very healthy! They make your eyes sharp, and your wings strong. I have a big garden myself, full of carrots, and I eat them every day.' Its eyes became deep red again. 'In fact, carrots are the only thing I eat.'<br />
<br />
"Reki stared. That was the strangest thing she ever heard of: A giant monster with claws like a bear, only eating vegetables?"<br />
<br />
Hikari's plait was now about as long as her arm, and she bent it into a circle.<br />
<br />
"The thought made Reki laugh. The monster stared at her, surprised, but then joined in with a strange high-pitched chuckle.<br />
<br />
"'You know what?' said Reki. 'I have a name for you. Look, you are a monster, you can't do anything about it. You should be proud of being big! I wish I was as big as you.' Monster blinked, and didn't know what to say.<br />
<br />
"Reki cleared her throat: 'I hereby name you Great Carrot Monster.'<br />
<br />
"They stepped out of the forest onto a large field, and Reki could see Hill of Winds again.<br />
<br />
"Monster stared at Reki with green eyes, then it said: 'Thank you! I really like my name. Thank you. You are a very kind bird.'<br />
<br />
"Reki blushed. 'You're welcome...in fact, I have to thank you for saving me.<br />
<br />
"The eyes of the Great Carrot Monster dimmed into red again. 'Oh, never mind,' it said and ran back into the forest."<br />
<br />
== **** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari finished the green blossom ring, stood up, and sat down behind Youkou, who was not crying anymore. She carefully pulled the girl's halo aback, and placed the grassy circlet onto her head.<br />
<br />
Youkou reached up to touch her precious crown. "So, there you go. Feeling better?" Hikari asked. The girl nodded, and finally reminded to close her mouth, which had been open for quite a while since she was absorbed by the story.<br />
<br />
Hana noticed Harou's disappointment, and held up the ring she had made herself. The two girls smiled at each other, and Harou turned around to be crowned, too.<br />
<br />
The four haibane stood up, yawning and stretching their arms and legs. Hikari said that it was time for dinner now, and they slowly walked back to Old Home.<br />
<br />
Youkou and Harou walked hand in hand, and their gray wings shone golden in the evening sun. Hikari and Hana walked a little slower and fell behind. They looked at the evening sky, shielding their eyes from the blending red sunset. "The clouds are all gone now...tomorrow will be sunny, I'm sure," said Hikari.<br />
<br />
"Hikari...can we go visit the Carrot Monster?" asked Hana and looked into the west, where the trees of the forest waved slowly in the wind.<br />
<br />
"I'm not sure...it is very shy, you know...and it probably doesn't live in the Western Woods any more," Hikari answered.<br />
<br />
"Then we should go and check if it is still there," Hana insisted. "It can show us the carrot garden!"<br />
<br />
"Well..."<br />
<br />
"Where did it move to?" Hana looked very earnestly up to Hikari. She wouldn't let go of the topic, that was sure.<br />
<br />
"I don't know..." Hikari started to feel uncomfortable. "Maybe it went into the clock tower in the city..."<br />
<br />
Hana was surprised: "Really?" She stared down at her feet as she walked, thinking intensely. After a while, she looked up and beamed.<br />
<br />
"I'll go and ask Kana then!"<br />
<br />
After that, Hana ran down the hill, outrunning the twins, and sprinting right through the hole in the northern wall.<br />
<br />
Hikari chuckled nervously and mumbled: "Oh no. What have I done? Poor Kana..."<br />
<br />
But the recently crowned Youkou-hime was pulling on her brown skirt: "Hikari?"<br />
<br />
"Mmh?"<br />
<br />
"We want pigtails!"<br />
<br />
"Pigtails?"<br />
<br />
"Like Reki!" said Harou. The twins nodded in unison.<br />
<br />
"Erm...sure..." answered Hikari, a bit puzzled by the question.<br />
<br />
She folded her arms, and shook her head. "You didn't really listen to the story, did you?" The twins looked at each other in confusion.<br />
<br />
Hikari shrugged. "Whatever. I'll show you how to do it, but tomorrow. Can you two princesses help me to set the table for dinner?"<br />
<br />
The girls beamed. "Sure!" Youkou said, and Harou nodded.<br />
<br />
== ***** ==<br />
<br />
As they entered the courtyard, they saw three Haibane standing beyond the balcony. Hana was nudging Kana, who held her ears pretending to be deaf, and chanted: "Ba ba ba, I can't hear you, what do you say? Ba ba, no, I can't understand, must be the wind, ba ba ba ba ba..." Rakka stood behind them, covering her mouth and snorting with laughter.<br />
<br />
"You're so mean!" shouted Hana angrily.<br />
<br />
"Hikari, you have to tell us that story some day!" said Rakka, putting her hand on Hana's head, who was clearly fuming.<br />
<br />
Hikari blushed, and Kana threw an exhausted look at her: "Please tell her that there are no Carrot Monsters hiding in the clock tower!"<br />
<br />
"I am sure Oyakata would have noticed if there was a bugbear in the basement..." said Nemu, who had come from the eastern wing to join the others.<br />
<br />
Hikari pushed Hana and the twins to the tower, where the house mother was already waiting for the kids to help in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"What is this all about?" Nemu asked.<br />
<br />
"Hikari told her that the Great Carrot Monster hides in the clock tower," said Rakka, still laughing.<br />
<br />
"Oh no! How could she!" Nemu covered her mouth and looked at Kana, pretending heavy concern. "She didn't think of the consequences..."<br />
<br />
Kana frowned and threw an angry look after Hikari. "Well, obviously not."<br />
<br />
Rakka winked: "I guess Reki's legend lives on." Then she whispered: "But you wouldn't want to put an end on it, would you?"<br />
<br />
Kana stared at Rakka and Nemu for a few moments, who just grinned back at her. Then she hung her head in defeat.<br />
<br />
"I will make pasta today. Can you help me with the sauce, Nemu?" Rakka asked, and Nemu nodded. "Sumika gave me a recipe for excellent Carbonara...I hope we have enough Parmesan left. Did you know that the name 'Carbonara' comes from 'charcoal'? I've read about it in a book I recently..."<br />
<br />
The two haibane left into the house, and Kana stood alone on the yard. The Young Feathers were yelling to her left, and behind her she could hear the crows having another party with the trash incinerator.<br />
<br />
"Oh, you will get your story," Kana said to herself with an evil grin. "I'll make sure they won't forget!"<br />
<br />
She started to laugh wickedly and stepped into the house.</div>Murphyhttp://haibaniki.rubychan.de/index.php?title=Reki_and_the_Great_Carrot_Monster&diff=1818Reki and the Great Carrot Monster2009-08-07T21:35:05Z<p>Murphy: section title for poem</p>

Once upon a time<br />
On a bright Sunday<br />
Two young haibane girls rested<br />
On the edge between blue and green<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== * ==<br />
<br />
"That one looks like a crow, see? Over there..." Youkou pointed at a small gray cloud that was hanging high in the sky.<br />
<br />
"You're right...and this one, to the left...it looks like a haibane swinging a broom," Hana answered. "Must be Kana." The two haibane kids giggled.<br />
<br />
The clouds floated over them, wandering quietly through the sky above. They lay next to each other on the Hill of Winds in the shadow of a windmill's shaft. A slight breeze made its blades turn, slowly and constantly...the deep humming of the rotor complemented the monotone chirping of the crickets around them.<br />
<br />
Hana looked over at Youkou's dark eyes, which mirrored the bright azure. She was so happy. Summer had always been her favorite season. Closing her eyes, she dozed off for a moment.<br />
<br />
"Hana?"<br />
<br />
She awoke from the snooze, but the meadow she had dreamed of was the one they were resting on. So Hana wasn't sure if she really had been asleep.<br />
<br />
"Mmh?" The girl sat upright and followed Youkou's trembling index finger up to the big white cloud that had been Kana. It had eaten up the gray crow cloud to resemble a strange figure...<br />
<br />
"An elephant?" Hana guessed.<br />
<br />
Youkou shook her head. She seemed to be afraid of it, her voice was urgent. "It looks like the Great Carrot Monster..."<br />
<br />
An image blinked up in Hana's mind: Reki was leaning over her chair from behind, her face upside down, her long black hair falling over the halo, giving her stare a frightening appearance. Hana looked at the cloud again. All she could see was a nice, fluffy elephant. But Reki's stories of the Carrot Monster had been really frightening. Hana felt the slight whisper of panic in her heart when she looked into Youkou's fearful eyes.<br />
<br />
Then she remembered that Youkou never had the chance to meet Reki. She and her twin sister Harou had only arrived shortly after Reki...went over the wall. Involuntary, Hana turned her head towards the Western Woods. Rakka had explained to the Young Feathers that Reki was really happy when she left into the woods to fly into distant lands. Hana had cried a lot for some days. When the twins arrived, she finally calmed down...but she was still missing Reki. And she could see that the Old Feathers missed her, too.<br />
<br />
So, where did Youkou pick up that story? Hana turned back to her: "You know about the Great Carrot Monster?"<br />
<br />
Youkou nodded, hugging herself as if she was cold. "Dai told me."<br />
<br />
Hana put a hand on her friend's shoulder. Dai surely had come up with his own, much more menacing version.<br />
<br />
"Is it...true?" Youkou whispered.<br />
<br />
"Maybe not," Hana answered. "I've never seen it."<br />
<br />
According to Reki, the monster was huge and very evil: "It haunts naughty children in their sleep," Reki had told the Young feathers one night. "If you don't finish your lunch, it might even hurt you. And if lunch includes carrots, and you don't eat all of them, you are in serious danger: The monster will eat you instead. And, after that, the rest of your carrots."<br />
<br />
Hana had always eaten her carrots. Maybe the monster was still out there...she looked again at the forrest, and felt a cold shiver. The wind turned, making the windmill moan, and the dark shadow of the long rotating blades fell onto the two little haibane. Youkou was shaking. They hugged each other and looked up to the big cloud, which was slowly mutating into a gigantic carrot.<br />

<br />
Harou sat down next to her sister. "What's up?" she asked, still panting. Youkou whispered in her ear, and Harou's eyes grew wide. Hikari approached them, totally out of breath. She let her left hand fall gently on Harou's halo, which made a soft jingle: "Got you! Phew!" Then she let herself fall flat on the grass and closed her blue eyes, panting, but smiling.<br />
<br />
Soon, Hikari noticed that the kids were unusually quiet, so she sat up and saw into the pleading eyes of three trembling haibane sitting close together. Hana was in the middle, adapting to the shivers of the twins.<br />

<br />

<br />
Hikari gasped, then closed her mouth and nodded sympathetically.<br />
<br />
"Is there really such a big monster?" asked Harou.<br />
<br />
"With giant ears?" whispered Youkou.<br />
<br />
Hikari kept silent a while, then giggled, and finally broke out into a loud, high laughter. The girls watched her, completely horrified. Youkou started to cry.<br />
<br />
Holding her belly with one hand, Hikari wiped the tears from her eyes with the other. "I'm sorry, but I think your image of the Carrot Monster is completely wrong." She smiled and looked at the kids.<br />
<br />
Hana couldn't find that funny: "You speak as if you've seen it for yourself!" Youkou sobbed and looked up to Hikari, anger and fear in her eyes.<br />

Hikari finished the green blossom ring, stood up, and sat down behind Youkou, who was not crying anymore. She carefully pulled the girl's halo aback, and placed the grassy circlet onto her head.<br />
<br />
Youkou reached up to touch her precious crown. "So, there you go. Feeling better?" Hikari asked. The girl nodded, and finally reminded to close her mouth, which had been open for quite a while since she was absorbed by the story.<br />
<br />
Hana noticed Harou's disappointment, and held up the ring she had made herself. The two girls smiled at each other, and Harou turned around to be crowned, too.<br />
<br />
The four haibane stood up, yawning and stretching their arms and legs. Hikari said that it was time for dinner now, and they slowly walked back to Old Home.<br />
<br />
Youkou and Harou walked hand in hand, and their gray wings shone golden in the evening sun. Hikari and Hana walked a little slower and fell behind. They looked at the evening sky, shielding their eyes from the blending red sunset. "The clouds are all gone now...tomorrow will be sunny, I'm sure," said Hikari.<br />
<br />
"Hikari...can we go visit the Carrot Monster?" asked Hana and looked into the west, where the trees of the forest waved slowly in the wind.<br />
<br />
"I'm not sure...it is very shy, you know...and it probably doesn't live in the Western Woods any more," Hikari answered.<br />
<br />
"Then we should go and check if it is still there," Hana insisted. "It can show us the carrot garden!"<br />
<br />
"Well..."<br />
<br />
"Where did it move to?" Hana looked very earnestly up to Hikari. She wouldn't let go of the topic, that was sure.<br />
<br />
"I don't know..." Hikari started to feel uncomfortable. "Maybe it went into the clock tower in the city..."<br />
<br />
Hana was surprised: "Really?" She stared down at her feet as she walked, thinking intensely. After a while, she looked up and beamed.<br />
<br />
"I'll go and ask Kana then!"<br />
<br />
After that, Hana ran down the hill, outrunning the twins, and sprinting right through the hole in the northern wall.<br />
<br />
Hikari chuckled nervously and mumbled: "Oh no. What have I done? Poor Kana..."<br />
<br />
But the recently crowned Youkou-hime was pulling on her brown skirt: "Hikari?"<br />
<br />
"Mmh?"<br />
<br />
"We want pigtails!"<br />
<br />
"Pigtails?"<br />
<br />
"Like Reki!" said Harou. The twins nodded in unison.<br />
<br />
"Erm...sure..." answered Hikari, a bit puzzled by the question.<br />
<br />
She folded her arms, and shook her head. "You didn't really listen to the story, did you?" The twins looked at each other in confusion.<br />
<br />
Hikari shrugged. "Whatever. I'll show you how to do it, but tomorrow. Can you two princesses help me to set the table for dinner?"<br />
<br />
The girls beamed. "Sure!" Youkou said, and Harou nodded.<br />
<br />
== ***** ==<br />
<br />
As they entered the courtyard, they saw three Haibane standing beyond the balcony. Hana was nudging Kana, who held her ears pretending to be deaf, and chanted: "Ba ba ba, I can't hear you, what do you say? Ba ba, no, I can't understand, must be the wind, ba ba ba ba ba..." Rakka stood behind them, covering her mouth and snorting with laughter.<br />
<br />
"You're so mean!" shouted Hana angrily.<br />
<br />
"Hikari, you have to tell us that story some day!" said Rakka, putting her hand on Hana's head, who was clearly fuming.<br />
<br />
Hikari blushed, and Kana threw an exhausted look at her: "Please tell her that there are no Carrot Monsters hiding in the clock tower!"<br />
<br />
"I am sure Oyakata would have noticed if there was a bugbear in the basement..." said Nemu, who had come from the eastern wing to join the others.<br />
<br />
Hikari pushed Hana and the twins to the tower, where the house mother was already waiting for the kids to help in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"What is this all about?" Nemu asked.<br />
<br />
"Hikari told her that the Great Carrot Monster hides in the clock tower," said Rakka, still laughing.<br />
<br />
"Oh no! How could she!" Nemu covered her mouth and looked at Kana, pretending heavy concern. "She didn't think of the consequences..."<br />
<br />
Kana frowned and threw an angry look after Hikari. "Well, obviously not."<br />
<br />
Rakka winked: "I guess Reki's legend lives on." Then she whispered: "But you wouldn't want to put an end on it, would you?"<br />
<br />
Kana stared at Rakka and Nemu for a few moments, who just grinned back at her. Then she hung her head in defeat.<br />
<br />
"I will make pasta today. Can you help me with the sauce, Nemu?" Rakka asked, and Nemu nodded. "Sumika gave me a recipe for excellent Carbonara...I hope we have enough Parmesan left. Did you know that the name 'Carbonara' comes from 'charcoal'? I've read about it in a book I recently..."<br />
<br />
The two haibane left into the house, and Kana stood alone on the yard. The Young Feathers were yelling to her left, and behind her she could hear the crows having another party with the trash incinerator.<br />
<br />
"Oh, you will get your story," Kana said to herself with an evil grin. "I'll make sure they won't forget!"<br />
<br />
She started to laugh wickedly and stepped into the house.</div>Murphyhttp://haibaniki.rubychan.de/index.php?title=Reki_and_the_Great_Carrot_Monster&diff=1817Reki and the Great Carrot Monster2009-08-07T21:34:37Z<p>Murphy: poem</p>

''a short story by murphy the crow''<br />
<br />
<div style="white-space: pre"><br />
Once upon a time<br />
On a bright Sunday<br />
Two young haibane girls rested<br />
On the edge between blue and green<br />
</div><br />
<br />
== * ==<br />
<br />
"That one looks like a crow, see? Over there..." Youkou pointed at a small gray cloud that was hanging high in the sky.<br />
<br />
"You're right...and this one, to the left...it looks like a haibane swinging a broom," Hana answered. "Must be Kana." The two haibane kids giggled.<br />
<br />
The clouds floated over them, wandering quietly through the sky above. They lay next to each other on the Hill of Winds in the shadow of a windmill's shaft. A slight breeze made its blades turn, slowly and constantly...the deep humming of the rotor complemented the monotone chirping of the crickets around them.<br />
<br />
Hana looked over at Youkou's dark eyes, which mirrored the bright azure. She was so happy. Summer had always been her favorite season. Closing her eyes, she dozed off for a moment.<br />
<br />
"Hana?"<br />
<br />
She awoke from the snooze, but the meadow she had dreamed of was the one they were resting on. So Hana wasn't sure if she really had been asleep.<br />
<br />
"Mmh?" The girl sat upright and followed Youkou's trembling index finger up to the big white cloud that had been Kana. It had eaten up the gray crow cloud to resemble a strange figure...<br />
<br />
"An elephant?" Hana guessed.<br />
<br />
Youkou shook her head. She seemed to be afraid of it, her voice was urgent. "It looks like the Great Carrot Monster..."<br />
<br />
An image blinked up in Hana's mind: Reki was leaning over her chair from behind, her face upside down, her long black hair falling over the halo, giving her stare a frightening appearance. Hana looked at the cloud again. All she could see was a nice, fluffy elephant. But Reki's stories of the Carrot Monster had been really frightening. Hana felt the slight whisper of panic in her heart when she looked into Youkou's fearful eyes.<br />
<br />
Then she remembered that Youkou never had the chance to meet Reki. She and her twin sister Harou had only arrived shortly after Reki...went over the wall. Involuntary, Hana turned her head towards the Western Woods. Rakka had explained to the Young Feathers that Reki was really happy when she left into the woods to fly into distant lands. Hana had cried a lot for some days. When the twins arrived, she finally calmed down...but she was still missing Reki. And she could see that the Old Feathers missed her, too.<br />
<br />
So, where did Youkou pick up that story? Hana turned back to her: "You know about the Great Carrot Monster?"<br />
<br />
Youkou nodded, hugging herself as if she was cold. "Dai told me."<br />
<br />
Hana put a hand on her friend's shoulder. Dai surely had come up with his own, much more menacing version.<br />
<br />
"Is it...true?" Youkou whispered.<br />
<br />
"Maybe not," Hana answered. "I've never seen it."<br />
<br />
According to Reki, the monster was huge and very evil: "It haunts naughty children in their sleep," Reki had told the Young feathers one night. "If you don't finish your lunch, it might even hurt you. And if lunch includes carrots, and you don't eat all of them, you are in serious danger: The monster will eat you instead. And, after that, the rest of your carrots."<br />
<br />
Hana had always eaten her carrots. Maybe the monster was still out there...she looked again at the forrest, and felt a cold shiver. The wind turned, making the windmill moan, and the dark shadow of the long rotating blades fell onto the two little haibane. Youkou was shaking. They hugged each other and looked up to the big cloud, which was slowly mutating into a gigantic carrot.<br />
<br />
== ** ==<br />
<br />
Suddenly, a voice called from below, and the two girls gave a start. "Hey! Youkou! Hana!"<br />
<br />
They turned their heads to see Harou sprinting up the hill from behind, chased by Hikari. She resembled her sister, only her skin was pale, while Youkou's was slightly tanned. Both had black hair and the same pair of black, astute eyes. Hikari was laughing and breathless.<br />
<br />
Harou sat down next to her sister. "What's up?" she asked, still panting. Youkou whispered in her ear, and Harou's eyes grew wide. Hikari approached them, totally out of breath. She let her left hand fall gently on Harou's halo, which made a soft jingle: "Got you! Phew!" Then she let herself fall flat on the grass and closed her blue eyes, panting, but smiling.<br />
<br />
Soon, Hikari noticed that the kids were unusually quiet, so she sat up and saw into the pleading eyes of three trembling haibane sitting close together. Hana was in the middle, adapting to the shivers of the twins.<br />
<br />
The older haibane looked at them, puzzled. "Are you freezing?" she asked, and the trio shook their heads.<br />
<br />
"It's...we're afraid of the Carrot Monster," Hana said.<br />
<br />
Hikari gasped, then closed her mouth and nodded sympathetically.<br />
<br />
"Is there really such a big monster?" asked Harou.<br />
<br />
"With giant ears?" whispered Youkou.<br />
<br />
Hikari kept silent a while, then giggled, and finally broke out into a loud, high laughter. The girls watched her, completely horrified. Youkou started to cry.<br />
<br />
Holding her belly with one hand, Hikari wiped the tears from her eyes with the other. "I'm sorry, but I think your image of the Carrot Monster is completely wrong." She smiled and looked at the kids.<br />
<br />
Hana couldn't find that funny: "You speak as if you've seen it for yourself!" Youkou sobbed and looked up to Hikari, anger and fear in her eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari made a surprised face. "Of course I have seen it, Hana. That's why I am so sure that it is not dangerous at all. Actually, the monster is quite nice."<br />
<br />
"No way..." Harou shook her head in disbelief. Youkou sniffed and blinked with her wet eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari folded her legs and turned to them. "It was Reki who met the Carrot Monster first. I can tell you the story if you want." The three little haibane changed puzzled looks.<br />
<br />
"Please, go ahead," Hana nodded, still not sure if Hikari was making fun of them. Real or not, the Great Carrot Monster was serious stuff, and no subject for jokes.<br />
<br />
Hikari studied the ground, picking up some blades of grass, and began to twist them. She took a deep breath, and started: "You know, Reki was still a young girl when it happened. She was about the same age as you are, Youkou. She had two long, black pigtails..."<br />
<br />
"I also want pigtails!" interrupted Harou.<br />
<br />
"Hey, do you want me to tell the story or not?" warned Hikari. Harou blushed and closed her mouth.<br />
<br />
== *** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari plucked a daisy and started to weave it into the grass plait. "As I was saying, Reki was a Young Feather, just like you. And she hated carrots. The house mother was not very pleased. Each time carrots where on the table, Reki made a fuss and no one was able to persuade her. She was quiet a pighead...<br />
<br />
"One day, the battle was so hard that Reki finally ran away. She ran through the hole in the north wall, right into the Western Wood."<br />
<br />
Harou gulped. Hikari looked up and said to them in a serious tone: "You know that you must never go in there, do you?"<br />
<br />
The kids nodded like good haibane, and Hikari went back to her floristic craftwork.<br />
<br />
"So, Reki ran deep into the forrest, and it was already evening when she realized that she had no idea how to find back. She walked and walked. But the night came fast, and she couldn't even see the stars, because the sky was hidden by the trees."<br />
<br />
Hana didn't know why, but she was hypnotized by the movement of Hikari's fingers, creating what looked like a green snake with white dots. She reached at some blades of grass before her and tried to copy the movements while Hikari continued.<br />
<br />
"Reki sat down and cried, but she was alone. She hadn't lost all her hope, so she stood up again and stepped through the black forrest, stumbling over roots, and hearing strange sounds from everywhere. Sometimes she heard loud thuds from behind, as if a large animal was following her.<br />
<br />
"Reki stopped, trying not to move, not even breathe, and listened into the night. Only the wind was howling through the upper branches of the trees...and then, a loud crack made her jump and duck quickly behind a big root. She gazed into the direction it had come from, but could only see two very dim lights in the dark. She stared at them for a while, and suddenly she realized that they were two eyes, staring back at her!"<br />
<br />
If the crickets on the meadow had ears to follow Hikari's story, they surely would have fallen silent now. Youkou, Hana and Harou could hear their hearts pounding, but Hana continued to twist another daisy blossom in her plait of grass.<br />
<br />
"Reki was too terrified to even move. The two eyes flew higher and draw nearer to her. She could feel heavy footsteps shaking the ground. Someone, or better, something was breathing, deeply and ominously.<br />
<br />
"Unexpectantly, a torch was lit, and she could see it: A giant black furry creature with very short legs, very long arms, and tiny head with only small, blue eyes on it. It was holding the torch with its right hand, looking at Reki...somehow, the gaze was not really frightening...but rather anxious.<br />
<br />
"At first, Reki did not realize where the soft, high voice came from. But then, she discovered a small gap beyond the two blue eyes, like a mouth, although she couldn't see teeth.<br />
<br />
"'Are you all right?' piped the monster. Reki was so taken aback that she only managed to whisper a 'Yes'.<br />
<br />
"The mouth of the giant monster seemed to bow into a smile, and its eyes changed from a dim blue into a friendly orange.<br />
<br />
"'Oh, that's good. You're lost, aren't you? If you come with me, I can show you the way out of the forest.'<br />
<br />
"Slowly, it reached out its left paw to Reki, and waited. Reki looked at the paw, than back into the glowing orange eyes. Somehow, this creature seemed to emanate warmth and friendliness...Reki carefully stood up behind her hideout and responded to the gesture of the Monster to follow."<br />
<br />
The wind turned again and the windmills moaned as they simultaneously adapted to the new direction. The shadows stretched as the sun went down, announcing the evening. The crickets didn't mind any of this.<br />
<br />
"Reki and the Monster had wandered silently through the woods for some time when a question came to Reki's mind.<br />
<br />
"'What is your name?' she asked.<br />
<br />
"The monster stopped, and the color of its eyes changed into crimson. It looked down, as if ashamed of the question. 'I...don't have a name. I'm sorry.' The monster stepped self-consciously from one foot to another. 'You are the first person I meet, so I didn't need a name until now...well, actually I have met other people before, but they just called me "Monster", and I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"It seemed to Reki that this strange creature probably needed more help that herself. Monster obviously wanted to change the subject, and continued to walk.<br />
<br />
"'Why are you here in this forest?' it asked. 'It is dangerous here, you know, for you birds.'<br />
<br />
"Reki felt that Monster didn't really know much about what was going on outside the forest. But she could live with being mistaken for a bird.<br />
<br />
"'I...I fled. From the others. They wanted me to eat carrots, but I don't like carrots. So I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"Monster's eyes turned yellow: 'But, carrots are very healthy! They make your eyes sharp, and your wings strong. I have a big garden myself, full of carrots, and I eat them every day.' Its eyes became deep red again. 'In fact, carrots are the only thing I eat.'<br />
<br />
"Reki stared. That was the strangest thing she ever heard of: A giant monster with claws like a bear, only eating vegetables?"<br />
<br />
Hikari's plait was now about as long as her arm, and she bent it into a circle.<br />
<br />
"The thought made Reki laugh. The monster stared at her, surprised, but then joined in with a strange high-pitched chuckle.<br />
<br />
"'You know what?' said Reki. 'I have a name for you. Look, you are a monster, you can't do anything about it. You should be proud of being big! I wish I was as big as you.' Monster blinked, and didn't know what to say.<br />
<br />
"Reki cleared her throat: 'I hereby name you Great Carrot Monster.'<br />
<br />
"They stepped out of the forest onto a large field, and Reki could see Hill of Winds again.<br />
<br />
"Monster stared at Reki with green eyes, then it said: 'Thank you! I really like my name. Thank you. You are a very kind bird.'<br />
<br />
"Reki blushed. 'You're welcome...in fact, I have to thank you for saving me.<br />
<br />
"The eyes of the Great Carrot Monster dimmed into red again. 'Oh, never mind,' it said and ran back into the forest."<br />
<br />
== **** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari finished the green blossom ring, stood up, and sat down behind Youkou, who was not crying anymore. She carefully pulled the girl's halo aback, and placed the grassy circlet onto her head.<br />
<br />
Youkou reached up to touch her precious crown. "So, there you go. Feeling better?" Hikari asked. The girl nodded, and finally reminded to close her mouth, which had been open for quite a while since she was absorbed by the story.<br />

Hana noticed Harou's disappointment, and held up the ring she had made herself. The two girls smiled at each other, and Harou turned around to be crowned, too.<br />
<br />
The four haibane stood up, yawning and stretching their arms and legs. Hikari said that it was time for dinner now, and they slowly walked back to Old Home.<br />
<br />
Youkou and Harou walked hand in hand, and their gray wings shone golden in the evening sun. Hikari and Hana walked a little slower and fell behind. They looked at the evening sky, shielding their eyes from the blending red sunset. "The clouds are all gone now...tomorrow will be sunny, I'm sure," said Hikari.<br />
<br />
"Hikari...can we go visit the Carrot Monster?" asked Hana and looked into the west, where the trees of the forest waved slowly in the wind.<br />

"I don't know..." Hikari started to feel uncomfortable. "Maybe it went into the clock tower in the city..."<br />

Hana was surprised: "Really?" She stared down at her feet as she walked, thinking intensely. After a while, she looked up and beamed.<br />
<br />
"I'll go and ask Kana then!"<br />
<br />
After that, Hana ran down the hill, outrunning the twins, and sprinting right through the hole in the northern wall.<br />
<br />
Hikari chuckled nervously and mumbled: "Oh no. What have I done? Poor Kana..."<br />
<br />
But the recently crowned Youkou-hime was pulling on her brown skirt: "Hikari?"<br />
<br />
"Mmh?"<br />

"We want pigtails!"<br />

She let her left hand fall gently on Harou's halo, which made a soft jingle: "Got you! Phew!" Then she let herself fall flat on the grass and closed her blue eyes, panting, but smiling.<br />
<br />
Soon, Hikari noticed that the kids were unusually quiet, so she sat up and saw into the pleading eyes of three trembling haibane sitting close together. Hana was in the middle, adapting to the shivers of the twins.<br />
<br />
The older haibane looked at them, puzzled. "Are you freezing?" she asked, and the trio shook their heads.<br />
<br />
"It's...we're afraid of the Carrot Monster," Hana said.<br />
<br />
Hikari gasped, then closed her mouth and nodded sympathetically.<br />
<br />
"Is there really such a big monster?" asked Harou.<br />
<br />
"With giant ears?" whispered Youkou.<br />
<br />
Hikari kept silent a while, then giggled, and finally broke out into a loud, high laughter. The girls watched her, completely horrified. Youkou started to cry.<br />
<br />
Holding her belly with one hand, Hikari wiped the tears from her eyes with the other. "I'm sorry, but I think your image of the Carrot Monster is completely wrong." She smiled and looked at the kids.<br />
<br />
Hana couldn't find that funny: "You speak as if you've seen it for yourself!" Youkou sobbed and looked up to Hikari, anger and fear in her eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari made a surprised face. "Of course I have seen it, Hana. That's why I am so sure that it is not dangerous at all. Actually, the monster is quite nice."<br />
<br />
"No way..." Harou shook her head in disbelief. Youkou sniffed and blinked with her wet eyes.<br />
<br />
Hikari folded her legs and turned to them. "It was Reki who met the Carrot Monster first. I can tell you the story if you want." The three little haibane changed puzzled looks.<br />
<br />
"Please, go ahead," Hana nodded, still not sure if Hikari was making fun of them. Real or not, the Great Carrot Monster was serious stuff, and no subject for jokes.<br />
<br />
Hikari studied the ground, picking up some blades of grass, and began to twist them. She took a deep breath, and started: "You know, Reki was still a young girl when it happened. She was about the same age as you are, Youkou. She had two long, black pigtails..."<br />
<br />
"I also want pigtails!" interrupted Harou.<br />
<br />
"Hey, do you want me to tell the story or not?" warned Hikari. Harou blushed and closed her mouth.<br />
<br />
== *** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari plucked a daisy and started to weave it into the grass plait. "As I was saying, Reki was a Young Feather, just like you. And she hated carrots. The house mother was not very pleased. Each time carrots where on the table, Reki made a fuss and no one was able to persuade her. She was quiet a pighead...<br />
<br />
"One day, the battle was so hard that Reki finally ran away. She ran through the hole in the north wall, right into the Western Wood."<br />
<br />
Harou gulped. Hikari looked up and said to them in a serious tone: "You know that you must never go in there, do you?"<br />
<br />
The kids nodded like good haibane, and Hikari went back to her floristic craftwork.<br />
<br />
"So, Reki ran deep into the forrest, and it was already evening when she realized that she had no idea how to find back. She walked and walked. But the night came fast, and she couldn't even see the stars, because the sky was hidden by the trees."<br />
<br />
Hana didn't know why, but she was hypnotized by the movement of Hikari's fingers, creating what looked like a green snake with white dots. She reached at some blades of grass before her and tried to copy the movements while Hikari continued.<br />
<br />
"Reki sat down and cried, but she was alone. She hadn't lost all her hope, so she stood up again and stepped through the black forrest, stumbling over roots, and hearing strange sounds from everywhere. Sometimes she heard loud thuds from behind, as if a large animal was following her.<br />
<br />
"Reki stopped, trying not to move, not even breathe, and listened into the night. Only the wind was howling through the upper branches of the trees...and then, a loud crack made her jump and duck quickly behind a big root. She gazed into the direction it had come from, but could only see two very dim lights in the dark. She stared at them for a while, and suddenly she realized that they were two eyes, staring back at her!"<br />
<br />
If the crickets on the meadow had ears to follow Hikari's story, they surely would have fallen silent now. Youkou, Hana and Harou could hear their hearts pounding, but Hana continued to twist another daisy blossom in her plait of grass.<br />
<br />
"Reki was too terrified to even move. The two eyes flew higher and draw nearer to her. She could feel heavy footsteps shaking the ground. Someone, or better, something was breathing, deeply and ominously.<br />
<br />
"Unexpectantly, a torch was lit, and she could see it: A giant black furry creature with very short legs, very long arms, and tiny head with only small, blue eyes on it. It was holding the torch with its right hand, looking at Reki...somehow, the gaze was not really frightening...but rather anxious.<br />
<br />
"At first, Reki did not realize where the soft, high voice came from. But then, she discovered a small gap beyond the two blue eyes, like a mouth, although she couldn't see teeth.<br />
<br />
"'Are you all right?' piped the monster. Reki was so taken aback that she only managed to whisper a 'Yes'.<br />
<br />
"The mouth of the giant monster seemed to bow into a smile, and its eyes changed from a dim blue into a friendly orange.<br />
<br />
"'Oh, that's good. You're lost, aren't you? If you come with me, I can show you the way out of the forest.'<br />
<br />
"Slowly, it reached out its left paw to Reki, and waited. Reki looked at the paw, than back into the glowing orange eyes. Somehow, this creature seemed to emanate warmth and friendliness...Reki carefully stood up behind her hideout and responded to the gesture of the Monster to follow."<br />
<br />
The wind turned again and the windmills moaned as they simultaneously adapted to the new direction. The shadows stretched as the sun went down, announcing the evening. The crickets didn't mind any of this.<br />
<br />
"Reki and the Monster had wandered silently through the woods for some time when a question came to Reki's mind.<br />
<br />
"'What is your name?' she asked.<br />
<br />
"The monster stopped, and the color of its eyes changed into crimson. It looked down, as if ashamed of the question. 'I...don't have a name. I'm sorry.' The monster stepped self-consciously from one foot to another. 'You are the first person I meet, so I didn't need a name until now...well, actually I have met other people before, but they just called me "Monster", and I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"It seemed to Reki that this strange creature probably needed more help that herself. Monster obviously wanted to change the subject, and continued to walk.<br />
<br />
"'Why are you here in this forest?' it asked. 'It is dangerous here, you know, for you birds.'<br />
<br />
"Reki felt that Monster didn't really know much about what was going on outside the forest. But she could live with being mistaken for a bird.<br />
<br />
"'I...I fled. From the others. They wanted me to eat carrots, but I don't like carrots. So I ran away.'<br />
<br />
"Monster's eyes turned yellow: 'But, carrots are very healthy! They make your eyes sharp, and your wings strong. I have a big garden myself, full of carrots, and I eat them every day.' Its eyes became deep red again. 'In fact, carrots are the only thing I eat.'<br />
<br />
"Reki stared. That was the strangest thing she ever heard of: A giant monster with claws like a bear, only eating vegetables?"<br />
<br />
Hikari's plait was now about as long as her arm, and she bent it into a circle.<br />
<br />
"The thought made Reki laugh. The monster stared at her, surprised, but then joined in with a strange high-pitched chuckle.<br />
<br />
"'You know what?' said Reki. 'I have a name for you. Look, you are a monster, you can't do anything about it. You should be proud of being big! I wish I was as big as you.' Monster blinked, and didn't know what to say.<br />
<br />
"Reki cleared her throat: 'I hereby name you Great Carrot Monster.'<br />
<br />
"They stepped out of the forest onto a large field, and Reki could see Hill of Winds again.<br />
<br />
"Monster stared at Reki with green eyes, then it said: 'Thank you! I really like my name. Thank you. You are a very kind bird.'<br />
<br />
"Reki blushed. 'You're welcome...in fact, I have to thank you for saving me.<br />
<br />
"The eyes of the Great Carrot Monster dimmed into red again. 'Oh, never mind,' it said and ran back into the forest."<br />
<br />
== **** ==<br />
<br />
Hikari finished the green blossom ring, stood up, and sat down behind Youkou, who was not crying anymore. She carefully pulled the girl's halo aback, and placed the grassy circlet onto her head.<br />
<br />
Youkou reached up to touch her precious crown. "So, there you go. Feeling better?" Hikari asked. The girl nodded, and finally reminded to close her mouth, which had been open for quite a while since she was absorbed by the story.<br />
<br />
Hana noticed Harou's disappointment, and held up the ring she had made herself. The two girls smiled at each other, and Harou turned around to be crowned, too.<br />
<br />
The four haibane stood up, yawning and stretching their arms and legs. Hikari said that it was time for dinner now, and they slowly walked back to Old Home.<br />
<br />
Youkou and Harou walked hand in hand, and their gray wings shone golden in the evening sun. Hikari and Hana walked a little slower and fell behind. They looked at the evening sky, shielding their eyes from the blending red sunset. "The clouds are all gone now...tomorrow will be sunny, I'm sure," said Hikari.<br />
<br />
"Hikari...can we go visit the Carrot Monster?" asked Hana and looked into the west, where the trees of the forest waved slowly in the wind.<br />
<br />
"I'm not sure...it is very shy, you know...and it probably doesn't live in the Western Woods any more," Hikari answered.<br />
<br />
"Then we should go and check if it is still there," Hana insisted. "It can show us the carrot garden!"<br />
<br />
"Well..."<br />
<br />
"Where did it move to?" Hana looked very earnestly up to Hikari. She wouldn't let go of the topic, that was sure.<br />
<br />
"I don't know..." Hikari started to feel uncomfortable. "Maybe it went into the clock tower in the city..."<br />
<br />
Hana was surprised: "Really?" She stared down at her feet as she walked, thinking intensely. After a while, she looked up and beamed.<br />
<br />
"I'll go and ask Kana then!"<br />
<br />
After that, Hana ran down the hill, outrunning the twins, and sprinting right through the hole in the northern wall.<br />
<br />
Hikari chuckled nervously and mumbled: "Oh no. What have I done? Poor Kana..."<br />
<br />
But the recently crowned Youkou-hime was pulling on her brown skirt: "Hikari?"<br />
<br />
"Mmh?"<br />
<br />
"We want pigtails!"<br />
<br />
"Pigtails?"<br />
<br />
"Like Reki!" said Harou. The twins nodded in unison.<br />
<br />
"Erm...sure..." answered Hikari, a bit puzzled by the question.<br />
<br />
She folded her arms, and shook her head. "You didn't really listen to the story, did you?" The twins looked at each other in confusion.<br />
<br />
Hikari shrugged. "Whatever. I'll show you how to do it, but tomorrow. Can you two princesses help me to set the table for dinner?"<br />
<br />
The girls beamed. "Sure!" Youkou said, and Harou nodded.<br />
<br />
== ***** ==<br />
<br />
As they entered the courtyard, they saw three Haibane standing beyond the balcony. Hana was nudging Kana, who held her ears pretending to be deaf, and chanted: "Ba ba ba, I can't hear you, what do you say? Ba ba, no, I can't understand, must be the wind, ba ba ba ba ba..." Rakka stood behind them, covering her mouth and snorting with laughter.<br />
<br />
"You're so mean!" shouted Hana angrily.<br />
<br />
"Hikari, you have to tell us that story some day!" said Rakka, putting her hand on Hana's head, who was clearly fuming.<br />
<br />
Hikari blushed, and Kana threw an exhausted look at her: "Please tell her that there are no Carrot Monsters hiding in the clock tower!"<br />
<br />
"I am sure Oyakata would have noticed if there was a bugbear in the basement..." said Nemu, who had come from the eastern wing to join the others.<br />
<br />
Hikari pushed Hana and the twins to the tower, where the house mother was already waiting for the kids to help in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"What is this all about?" Nemu asked.<br />
<br />
"Hikari told her that the Great Carrot Monster hides in the clock tower," said Rakka, still laughing.<br />
<br />
"Oh no! How could she!" Nemu covered her mouth and looked at Kana, pretending heavy concern. "She didn't think of the consequences..."<br />
<br />
Kana frowned and threw an angry look after Hikari. "Well, obviously not."<br />
<br />
Rakka winked: "I guess Reki's legend lives on." Then she whispered: "But you wouldn't want to put an end on it, would you?"<br />
<br />
Kana stared at Rakka and Nemu for a few moments, who just grinned back at her. Then she hung her head in defeat.<br />
<br />
"I will make pasta today. Can you help me with the sauce, Nemu?" Rakka asked, and Nemu nodded. "Sumika gave me a recipe for excellent Carbonara...I hope we have enough Parmesan left. Did you know that the name 'Carbonara' comes from 'charcoal'? I've read about it in a book I recently..."<br />
<br />
The two haibane left into the house, and Kana stood alone on the yard. The Young Feathers were yelling to her left, and behind her she could hear the crows having another party with the trash incinerator.<br />
<br />
"Oh, you will get your story," Kana said to herself with an evil grin. "I'll make sure they won't forget!"<br />
<br />
She started to laugh wickedly and stepped into the house.</div>Murphyhttp://haibaniki.rubychan.de/index.php?title=Reki_and_the_Great_Carrot_Monster&diff=1815Reki and the Great Carrot Monster2009-08-07T21:30:37Z<p>Murphy: </p>

Reki and the Great Carrot Monster<br />
<br />
''a short story by murphy the crow''<br />
<br />
Once upon a time<br />
On a bright Sunday<br />
Two young haibane girls rested<br />
On the edge between blue and green<br />
<br />
== * ==<br />
<br />
"That one looks like a crow, see? Over there..." Youkou pointed at a small gray cloud that was hanging high in the sky.<br />
<br />
"You're right...and this one, to the left...it looks like a haibane swinging a broom," Hana answered. "Must be Kana." The two haibane kids giggled.<br />
<br />
The clouds floated over them, wandering quietly through the sky above. They lay next to each other on the Hill of Winds in the shadow of a windmill's shaft. A slight breeze made its blades turn, slowly and constantly...the deep humming of the rotor complemented the monotone chirping of the crickets around them.<br />
<br />
Hana looked over at Youkou's dark eyes, which mirrored the bright azure. She was so happy. Summer had always been her favorite season. Closing her eyes, she dozed off for a moment.<br />
<br />
"Hana?"<br />
<br />
She awoke from the snooze, but the meadow she had dreamed of was the one they were resting on. So Hana wasn't sure if she really had been asleep.<br />
<br />
"Mmh?" The girl sat upright and followed Youkou's trembling index finger up to the big white cloud that had been Kana. It had eaten up the gray crow cloud to resemble a strange figure...<br />
<br />
"An elephant?" Hana guessed.<br />
<br />
Youkou shook her head. She seemed to be afraid of it, her voice was urgent. "It looks like the Great Carrot Monster..."<br />
<br />
An image blinked up in Hana's mind: Reki was leaning over her chair from behind, her face upside down, her long black hair falling over the halo, giving her stare a frightening appearance. Hana looked at the cloud again. All she could see was a nice, fluffy elephant. But Reki's stories of the Carrot Monster had been really frightening. Hana felt the slight whisper of panic in her heart when she looked into Youkou's fearful eyes.<br />
<br />
Then she remembered that Youkou never had the chance to meet Reki. She and her twin sister Harou had only arrived shortly after Reki...went over the wall. Involuntary, Hana turned her head towards the Western Woods. Rakka had explained to the Young Feathers that Reki was really happy when she left into the woods to fly into distant lands. Hana had cried a lot for some days. When the twins arrived, she finally calmed down...but she was still missing Reki. And she could see that the Old Feathers missed her, too.<br />
<br />
So, where did Youkou pick up that story? Hana turned back to her: "You know about the Great Carrot Monster?"<br />
<br />
Youkou nodded, hugging herself as if she was cold. "Dai told me."<br />
<br />
Hana put a hand on her friend's shoulder. Dai surely had come up with his own, much more menacing version.<br />
<br />
"Is it...true?" Youkou whispered.<br />
<br />
"Maybe not," Hana answered. "I've never seen it."<br />
<br />
According to Reki, the monster was huge and very evil: "It haunts naughty children in their sleep," Reki had told the Young feathers one night. "If you don't finish your lunch, it might even hurt you. And if lunch includes carrots, and you don't eat all of them, you are in serious danger: The monster will eat you instead. And, after that, the rest of your carrots."<br />
<br />
Hana had always eaten her carrots. Maybe the monster was still out there...she looked again at the forrest, and felt a cold shiver. The wind turned, making the windmill moan, and the dark shadow of the long rotating blades fell onto the two little haibane. Youkou was shaking. They hugged each other and looked up to the big cloud, which was slowly mutating into a gigantic carrot.<br />
<br />
== ** ==<br />
<br />
Suddenly, a voice called from below, and the two girls gave a start. "Hey! Youkou! Hana!"<br />
<br />
They turned their heads to see Harou sprinting up the hill from behind, chased by Hikari. She resembled her sister, only her skin was pale, while Youkou's was slightly tanned. Both had black hair and the same pair of black, astute eyes. Hikari was laughing and breathless.<br />
<br />
Harou sat down next to her sister. "What's up?" she asked, still panting. Youkou whispered in her ear, and Harou's eyes grew wide. Hikari approached them, totally out of breath. She let her left hand fall gently on Harou's halo, which made a soft jingle: "Got you! Phew!" Then she let herself fall flat on the grass and closed her blue eyes, panting, but smiling.<br />
<br />
Soon, Hikari noticed that the kids were unusually quiet, so she sat up and saw into the pleading eyes of three trembling haibane sitting close together. Hana was in the middle, adapting to the shivers of the twins.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hikari gasped, then closed her mouth and nodded sympathetically.<br />
<br />
"Is there really such a big monster?" asked Harou.<br />
<br />
"With giant ears?" whispered Youkou.<br />
<br />
Hikari kept silent a while, then giggled, and finally broke out into a loud, high laughter. The girls watched her, completely horrified. Youkou started to cry.<br />
<br />
Holding her belly with one hand, Hikari wiped the tears from her eyes with the other. "I'm sorry, but I think your image of the Carrot Monster is completely wrong." She smiled and looked at the kids.<br />
<br />

"I'm not sure...it is very shy, you know...and it probably doesn't live in the Western Woods any more," Hikari answered.<br />
<br />
"Then we should go and check if it is still there," Hana insisted. "It can show us the carrot garden!"<br />
<br />
"Well..."<br />
<br />
"Where did it move to?" Hana looked very earnestly up to Hikari. She wouldn't let go of the topic, that was sure.<br />
<br />
"I don't know..." Hikari started to feel uncomfortable. "Maybe it went into the clock tower in the city..."<br />
<br />
Hana was surprised: "Really?" She stared down at her feet as she walked, thinking intensely. After a while, she looked up and beamed.<br />
<br />
"I'll go and ask Kana then!"<br />
<br />
After that, Hana ran down the hill, outrunning the twins, and sprinting right through the hole in the northern wall.<br />
<br />
Hikari chuckled nervously and mumbled: "Oh no. What have I done? Poor Kana..."<br />
<br />
But the recently crowned Youkou-hime was pulling on her brown skirt: "Hikari?"<br />
<br />
"Mmh?"<br />
<br />
"We want pigtails!"<br />
<br />
"Pigtails?"<br />
<br />
"Like Reki!" said Harou. The twins nodded in unison.<br />
<br />
"Erm...sure..." answered Hikari, a bit puzzled by the question.<br />
<br />
She folded her arms, and shook her head. "You didn't really listen to the story, did you?" The twins looked at each other in confusion.<br />
<br />
Hikari shrugged. "Whatever. I'll show you how to do it, but tomorrow. Can you two princesses help me to set the table for dinner?"<br />
<br />
The girls beamed. "Sure!" Youkou said, and Harou nodded.<br />
<br />
== ***** ==<br />
<br />
As they entered the courtyard, they saw three Haibane standing beyond the balcony. Hana was nudging Kana, who held her ears pretending to be deaf, and chanted: "Ba ba ba, I can't hear you, what do you say? Ba ba, no, I can't understand, must be the wind, ba ba ba ba ba..." Rakka stood behind them, covering her mouth and snorting with laughter.<br />
<br />
"You're so mean!" shouted Hana angrily.<br />
<br />
"Hikari, you have to tell us that story some day!" said Rakka, putting her hand on Hana's head, who was clearly fuming.<br />
<br />
Hikari blushed, and Kana threw an exhausted look at her: "Please tell her that there are no Carrot Monsters hiding in the clock tower!"<br />
<br />
"I am sure Oyakata would have noticed if there was a bugbear in the basement..." said Nemu, who had come from the eastern wing to join the others.<br />
<br />
Hikari pushed Hana and the twins to the tower, where the house mother was already waiting for the kids to help in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"What is this all about?" Nemu asked.<br />
<br />
"Hikari told her that the Great Carrot Monster hides in the clock tower," said Rakka, still laughing.<br />
<br />
"Oh no! How could she!" Nemu covered her mouth and looked at Kana, pretending heavy concern. "She didn't think of the consequences..."<br />
<br />
Kana frowned and threw an angry look after Hikari. "Well, obviously not."<br />
<br />
Rakka winked: "I guess Reki's legend lives on." Then she whispered: "But you wouldn't want to put an end on it, would you?"<br />
<br />
Kana stared at Rakka and Nemu for a few moments, who just grinned back at her. Then she hung her head in defeat.<br />
<br />
"I will make pasta today. Can you help me with the sauce, Nemu?" Rakka asked, and Nemu nodded. "Sumika gave me a recipe for excellent Carbonara...I hope we have enough Parmesan left. Did you know that the name 'Carbonara' comes from 'charcoal'? I've read about it in a book I recently..."<br />
<br />
The two haibane left into the house, and Kana stood alone on the yard. The Young Feathers were yelling to her left, and behind her she could hear the crows having another party with the trash incinerator.<br />
<br />
"Oh, you will get your story," Kana said to herself with an evil grin. "I'll make sure they won't forget!"<br />
<br />
She started to laugh wickedly and stepped into the house.</div>Murphyhttp://haibaniki.rubychan.de/index.php?title=Short_Stories&diff=1814Short Stories2009-08-07T21:28:56Z<p>Murphy: /* Reki and the Great Carrot Monster (sequel by murphy, September 2006) */ added Japanese name</p>

== Short Summary ==<br />
A girl dreams of falling from the sky before she hatches from a [[cocoon]]. A group of five [[haibane]] welcomes her as she wakes up in the [[Guest room]] of [[Old Home]]. After telling them about her [[dream]], she is [[Haibane names|named]] "[[Rakka]]" (by [[Reki]]) and presented with a [[halo]] (by [[Hikari]]). When all others but Reki leave, she painfully grows her [[wings]]. After the fever is gone, she can stand up.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Haibane Renmei''' (灰羽連盟), also released in certain countries under the title '''Ailes Grises''' (French for ''grey wings'') is a 13-episode anime series by [[Yoshitoshi ABe]]. In a wider scope, it also refers to a set of [[dōjinshi]] created by him, which was later adapted into the series.<br />
The series was directed by [[Tomokazu Tokoro]]. Animation was made by Studio [[RADIX]]. The music was composed by [[Kō Ōtani]]. Producer [[Yasuyuki Ueda]] also played a great role in the production.<br />
<br />
== Works ==<br />
[[The Dōjinshi]]<br />
* '''The Haibane of Old Home ch. 1'''<br />
The first volume of the dōjinshi. Covers the first half of the anime's first episode.<br />
* '''The Haibane of Old Home ch. 2'''<br />
The second volume. Covers the second half of the first episode.<br />
* '''Haibane Lifestyle Diary'''<br />
Released shortly before the series' airing, this one contains short comical strips of the characters as well as some of the concept art for the series.<br />
* '''The Haibane of Old Home - Extra'''<br />
Released when the series was already airing, this chapter delves into [[Reki]]'s childhood and, as such, is quite spoiler heavy.<br />
<br />
[[The Artbooks]]<br />
* Under construction - watch out for falling bricks<br />
<br />
== Related merchandise ==<br />
* '''Hanenone'''<br />
The official soundtrack album by Kō Ōtani. Contains music from the series as well as two tracks sung in English. The Japanese release also includes the TV edit of the ending theme ''Blue Flow'' by [[Heart of Air]].<br />
* '''Puchinone''' (''Out of Tracks'')<br />
A bonus soundtrack CD included with the first pressing of Cog.03. Contains more ambient music from the series plus the bonus track ''Adore''. Even when added up, the two soundtrack albums still lack some of the scores in the anime.<br />
* '''Seinaru Shoukei''' (''Longing to become a saint'')<br />
A tribute/image album by [[Heart of Air]]. Contains songs for each of the [[Old Home]] [[haibane]] and a vocal version of the title song ''Free Bird''.<br />
* '''''Haibane Renmei'' Graphic Novel'''<br />
Officially described as a ''"full-color adaptation of Yoshitoshi Abe's anime series, presented in the "non-westernized"'' manga format"[http://www.darkhorse.com/reviews/previews.php?theid=13-544]. The first volume was released on 6th September 2006.<br />

The series was directed by [[Tomokazu Tokoro]]. Animation was made by Studio [[RADIX]]. The music was composed by [[Kō Ōtani]]. Producer [[Yasuyuki Ueda]] also played a great role in the production.<br />

There is a map of Guri in one of the artbooks. The most noticable fact is that it shows an "Abandoned House at the Farming Village", which never appeared in the [[The Anime|anime]].<br />

<br />
== The Town of Guri ==<br />
<br />
'''Great Gate''': The city of Guri is surrounded by walls. The great gate used to act as a way for people to enter and leave the walled. Over time, the gate was sealed. The Toga is still able to bring items into Guri using the side door.<br />
<br />
'''Used Clothes shop:''' The thrift shop is owned by a grungy young guy. The store is a venerable used clothing shop. The shop keeper seems to be grungy, but he shows that he has a good heart.<br />
<br />
'''Main Street''': Main Street connects the City's central square to the Great Gate. The shops on this street carry many useful items for those who may need them.<br />
<br />
'''Clock Tower:''' The giant Pendulum clock that looks over central square. There is a clock shop inside of the clock. During the show, Kana works at the clock tower.<br />
<br />
'''Library:''' Guri has a very large library with books for almost any reader. Unfortunately, none of these books involve anything about the mysteries of the wall. Nemu and Sumika work at the library. <br />
<br />
'''Bakery:''' The bakery is the oldest one in town, sadly that doesn't say much about it other than it being the oldest one in town. [[Hikari]] works at the bakery during the show.<br />
<br />
'''Cafe Kartie:''' Kartie is a famous cafe in Guri, the place is known for its split pea soup, that is grown in Guri.<br />
<br />
== Factory District ==<br />
'''Bridge:''' The bridge connects the Central district of Guri to the factory district. The bridge goes over a river, and allows one to access the abandoned factory district.<br />
<br />
'''[[Abandoned factory]]:''' The Abandoned factory is a coed Haibane nest in the factory district.<br />
<br />
== Old Home ==<br />
'''Old Home:''' Old home was at one time a dormitory, or a school, but now it serves as a nest for the Haibane that live in Guri. The actual building is in a rather poor state of development, as whole wings are out of commission. The Place is invaluable due to the fact it is one of the few places the Haibane have to call home.<br />
<br />
'''The Hill Of Winds:''' The hill of winds is filled with windmills that provide electrical power to the city of Guri and Old Home. The hills themselves are quite beautiful.<br />
<br />
'''The Western Woods:''' The western woods is a dangerous place for people and Haibane, even though legends state that the farming district once worked out in those woods, there really isn't much to prove this idea other than, “Sadako's Well.” Either way, the woods have been fairly empty for generations.<br />
<br />
'''Chapel:''' The chapel is the last place that Haibane are seen as they take their “Day of Flight.” Although there isn't much information on what occurs during the day of flight, the halo left here acts as a sobering reminder of there leaving. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Haibane Renmei ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Haibane Renmei]]:''' Haibane Renmei allows the Haibane to live, by providing a means of receiving the supplies needed to keep the Haibane supported. The Chapel of the Haibane Renmei is far away from any other structure, and is rarely visited by the Haibane. The organization, provides notebooks to the Haibane that allow them to buy items. Haibane Renmei is looked over by Washi, a figure who acts as an intermediary between the Haibane and Renmei.<br />
<br />
'''Graveyard:''' The graveyard is the place in which the dead are buried, although it is unknown who is truly buried here it acts as a reminder of the mortality of all<br />

== The Town of Guri ==<br />
<br />
'''Great Gate''': The city of Guri is surrounded by walls. The great gate used to act as a way for people to enter and leave the walled. Over time, the gate was sealed. The Toga is still able to bring items into Guri using the side door.<br />
<br />
'''Used Clothes shop:''' The thrift shop is owned by a grungy young guy. The store is a venerable used clothing shop. The shop keeper seems to be grungy, but he shows that he has a good heart.<br />
<br />
'''Main Street''': Main Street connects the City's central square to the Great Gate. The shops on this street carry many useful items for those who may need them.<br />
<br />
'''Clock Tower:''' The giant Pendulum clock that looks over central square. There is a clock shop inside of the clock. During the show, Kana works at the clock tower.<br />
<br />
'''Library:''' Guri has a very large library with books for almost any reader. Unfortunately, none of these books involve anything about the mysteries of the wall. Nemu and Sumika work at the library. <br />
<br />
'''Bakery:''' The bakery is the oldest one in town, sadly that doesn't say much about it other than it being the oldest one in town. Hikari works at the bakery during the show.<br />
<br />
'''Cafe Kartie:''' Kartie is a famous cafe in Guri, the place is known for its split pea soup, that is grown in Guri.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Factory District ==<br />
'''Bridge:''' The bridge connects the Central district of Guri to the factory district. The bridge goes over a river, and allows one to access the abandoned factory district.<br />
<br />
'''[[Abandoned factory:]]''' The Abandoned factory is a coed Haibane nest in the factory district.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Old Home ==<br />
'''Old Home:''' Old home was at one time a dormitory, or a school, but now it serves as a nest for the Haibane that live in Guri. The actual building is in a rather poor state of development, as whole wings are out of commission. The Place is invaluable due to the fact it is one of the few places the Haibane have to call home.<br />
<br />
'''The Hill Of Winds:''' The hill of winds is filled with windmills that provide electrical power to the city of Guri and Old Home. The hills themselves are quite beautiful.<br />
<br />
'''The Western Woods:''' The western woods is a dangerous place for people and Haibane, even though legends state that the farming district once worked out in those woods, there really isn't much to prove this idea other than, “Sadako's Well.” Either way, the woods have been fairly empty for generations.<br />
<br />
'''Chapel:''' The chapel is the last place that Haibane are seen as they take their “Day of Flight.” Although there isn't much information on what occurs during the day of flight, the halo left here acts as a sobering reminder of there leaving. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Haibane Renmei ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Haibane Renmei:]]''' Haibane Renmei allows the Haibane to live, by providing a means of receiving the supplies needed to keep the Haibane supported. The Chapel of the Haibane Renmei is far away from any other structure, and is rarely visited by the Haibane. The organization, provides notebooks to the Haibane that allow them to buy items. Haibane Renmei is looked over by Washi, a figure who acts as an intermediary between the Haibane and Renmei.<br />
<br />
'''Graveyard:''' The graveyard is the place in which the dead are buried, although it is unknown who is truly buried here it acts as a reminder of the mortality of all<br />
