Names and nicknames

soc_puppetSo I'm sitting in class, working on part of the Kyuubi/Yondaime AU (I'm this close to deliberately thinking up a segment to call 'When I'm Ninety-Four', I swear) when I get to thinking about what they would call one another. Yondy strikes me as a charmer, and the first time they meet they don't get past aliasies (not that Kyuu would have something different anyway), so he'd probably call her 'Kyuubi-chan' at least once or twice. Which leads me to wonder what she would call him. Immediately I think 'Flashy', which, aside from being dumb, leads to very disturbing thoughts. After all, Yondy could have gotten the nickname Yellow Flash for a very different reason, or it could be a play on something else he was called because of something he did when he was younger that has to do with him being a natural blond. So. The Yellow Streak(er), anyone?
Brain says it has something to do with Jiraiya and a public bath. I'm tempted to not touch it, but the mental images are both to funny and too alluring. (Well, aside from the fact that Yondy may or may not have been twelve or fourteen when this happened.) Money says Kyuu finds out about it one night at a bar from some of Yondy's so-called buddies, which he may not be speaking to in the morning. Still not sure whether to make it part of the continuity or not.
Maybe as a non-canon side-story.
Edit: Yeah, that whole Yondy calling her 'Kyuubi-chan' thing? Cancel that. Apparently, he's more than happy to call her Jouchan and Kyuubi-jo. Which amuses both him and me, but irritates her. He think's she's cute when she's ruffled -_-a

I VOTE YES! Along with "Flasher" XDD And yes...an incident involving Yondaime, Jiraiya, and a bath house would ROCK. I'd write it! *raises hand*
Wagh, you're more inspired for this than I am, though I should have ideas SOONER or later XD

With any luck, world-building should do the trick. If not, it'll at least get things organized. As for me, I can't help it ^^; It's always like this when I'm starting a new project--ideas left and right.
