Better Than Tommorow
"Hey."
The blue female Uni calling my name. Her voice almost engulfed by chilly wind. I was busy fixing the fence in front of her house. I was slightly regretted why I have to choose harsh resident like Terror Mountain. I just think it will be cool to life in here, but lately I'm thinking to move out. Even surprised a little how that uni able to survive, nah virtual pets, they are born that way. Sort of.
"Hey!" Now she is calling while purposely flapping her wings right in front of my face to get my attention.
"Misha, please wait until I finish to fix this goddamn fence. I don't want to buy a new one."
The last time I leaved her house, it was total mess. Hama hiiro, her cholar, found wounded, sprawled in the snowy garden. She was breaking in tears, said that Hiiro has fighting off Snowager. Off course first I don't believe her story, until I was visiting Neovian Printing Press stall, the headline is speaking about rumor the giant snake sometime leaving his cave for hunting. I took a glance at the window house, Denzel curled in ball at the side of window clear glass. Maybe the snake noticing Petpet inside the house and try his luck with Denzel and a helpless Neopet (read: Misha).
"I'm sorry." Her voice breaming in my ears again.
"Huh?" I stopped working, stare to her black pair of eye.
"…If I'm stronger maybe I wont make Hiiro getting injured and protect him." She speaking while burying her front hoof in white snow. Leave a shape on it.
"…" I didn't answer. Resuming my work in silent.
When that accident happened fortunately, Hiiro just returned in time from his training in Krawk Island, found out Snowager try to broke the main door. They fought a while and the Snowager fleed after locals came over crowded my frontyard. Well, what you expect? Maybe among the three, Hiiro is the strongest. Come up second with Kozakii the red Kiko. But no. I mean, well-experienced huge giant snake that already live for ages versus the freshmen 4 years-old Koi?
I just glad he is not getting eaten.
I was panicked at first, rushed to Healing Spring, don't bother to cutting the line, and begging Marina to save Hiiro. She is, as experienced fairy-nurse as she, told me to calm down. Hiiro didn't got any serious injury with him and will recovered in one weeks. In that time Kozakii still in competition and cant go home.
I bought the blue Anubis for Misha, so she didn't get bored when her roommates gone off for training. I just thought they both are macth for their big ego, and luckily they did get along. The Altador Cup is getting hold a competition with awesome armor as a prize and I want it. So I manage to convinced Hirro and Kozakii to join.
Misha? No. She cant fight. At least, not now. I don't know why but sometime when I took her to training place, she always excused herself. Grading from stomachace, vertigo and feeling nausea because of pregnancy.
Even she is a virgin.
It's ridiculous. For scholar like her. And from one hundred available excuses, she came out with that one.
I just don't get it. It's a plain stupid.
How do I know she is still a virgin? I just do, okay, I'm their owner. So please don't ask the detail.
I remember when we visited Shrine in Lost Desert for prize and meet Coltzan's spirit, not like usual, the spirit didn't just disappeared. He is stayed for a while and keep staring at Misha. Feeling uneasy she decided to ask him and he asked her back about her opinion toward war. And then she said, she hates it. Even she knows it was capable to bring peace. Look satisfied with her answer Coltzan just replied that even she is have a right choose, she have to take responsibility with her choice. And then he is already gone in the blink of eyes.
"Hey, are you listening to me?" Her voice waking me up from my own thought.
"Yes. I'm listening."
"…" She looks washed from guilt. That look. That eyes. She was digging her hoof to the white ground in random patern while standing. I sighed, finally giving up to fix the broken fences.
"Look, Misha. This is not your fault. And you know it right?" She nods silently.
"…rather spend your time for feeling sorry, I have better solution for you. Hiiro!"
"Hey, what's up? Are we going to go somewhere?" The stripped Koi come out from house, I steal a glance at his crown fin, it's already healed. Hiiro is actually getting used for injuries. He is a manly Koi who leave for battle. But I and Misha still worried about him sometime when he is going overboard.
"Come, we are going to do some shoping and training... for her." I said. Hiiro looks surprised at first. But then he is cracked in smile. Following my step, He turns to her and said,
"You are going to be okay."
"But, I never practicing or fighting before. I don't have any skill, not like you. I'm not sure about this."
"You can do it. Don't think just follow, you'll be fine." Hiiro calmly replied. Misha finally feels better. Calming down after listening to her friend support.
'Yeah . I think I'll do it. I want to become strong too. So I can protect you guys." She smile sweetly and nods.
"Good." He smirked. He is getting just excited about an idea having a girl as a new sparing partner.
