-Frenchie
It'd been three years since the gang left Kilter, Cooro's childhood home. It'd been two years since Senri, the Kim Un Kur bear anima, left for his homeland in the mountains above Astaria. And one year since Nana lost her anima power. She went on to become a renown seamstress in the city of Sandra. Cooro and Husky visited her and Senri often throughout the year. The children had grown into fine young adults, and Senri into a stunning young man. The right hand man, of the chief in his tribe.
Fall was quickly approaching, Cooro and Husky started looking for a place to stay and work for the winter. To save up for more traveling in the spring. They were contemplating staying with Nana and working with her in her shop, "I think it would be great! We'd have lots of fun!" Cooro beamed, jumping around Husky. Cooro hadn't changed much, save for his appearance. He was still as rambunctious and ditzy as the day Husky'd met him. As far as appearance goes, his hair was a good six inches longer, still braided. He still wore the same goggles to protect his eyes during flight. His +anima markings had gotten darker, and larger. Spreading down his arms.
"I don't know Cooro, I think we shouldn't stay in such a large city. It's dangerous," Husky said calmly. Husky, in comparison to Cooro, and how he used to be, had changed the most. He went from a hot headed, girl-hating, argumentative, child. To a calm, girl-hating, cool and collected young man. And extremely intelligent. Husky's appearance hadn't changed much, except now he wore his slightly longer hair in a tiny pony tail. And he was only an inch shorter than Cooro. And just like Cooro, Husky's +Anima markings had gotten darker, and larger, stretching down his shoulders and back, "We'd be safer somewhere less crowded,"
"Aww! But I wanted to see Nana again," Cooro whined, he'd grown very attached to her over the years. He was the most upset when she lost her anima power, and decided to stay in Sandra.
"Cooro, she probably doesn't want to have anything to do with us! She finally has the normal life she's always dreamed of," Husky said sadly, "would you really want to disrupt that? We're +Anima. We'd only dredge up the bad memories of her experiences as a +Anima," he shuddered remembering how he became one.
Cooro sighed and dropped his head, "I guess you're right, Myrrha," Cooro found himself calling Husky by his real name more often than not recently. Husky wasn't fond of it, but tolerated it.
Glancing strangely at Cooro, he continued to walk down the path out of Sandra, "I remember there being a town not too far from here," Husky sighed, "we passed it on our trip to Sandra. We'd only walked around the edge of town, in the trees, but it seemed to be decent enough. I saw some nice Inns. We should stay there for the night, and see where to go from there," he pointed in the direction of the town, "you know, make some plans,"
"Sounds good to me!" Cooro yelled, raising his hands in the air, and jumping around. He liked the idea of staying so close to Sandra, "Hmm, do you think we could go out and find lots more +Anima and go on adventures again?"
Husky smirked, "Maybe, as long as we don't run into any girls again. I can only handle so much girly talk," he snorted.
"But what if we met someone like Nana? Maybe not a bat anima, but you know. Someone nice like her," Cooro cooed, daydreaming, "I'd like that," Cooro liked the way her hair gently brushed her face, her eyes, and they way they glowed at night by the campfire. Her soft, porcelain skin, and delicate fingers. He didn't have the guts to tell Husky that he loved her.
They walked for some time on a dirt road on an open prairie, talking about their adventures over the past three years since they learned about Cooro. Then as the wooded area before the town entrance cam upon them, the skies grew dark. And they grew silent. A storm was approaching. And by the way it looked, it was going to be a bad one, "This looks bad Cooro," Husky mumbled nervously, "look at how dark those clouds are. They're almost black,"
"It's ok! We'll be at the town before it hits," Cooro said cheerfully, nothing could dampen his spirit. Not even buckets of rain, "hmm, what's the name of this town, Myrrha?"
Husky quickly turned, while walking, and gave him another strange look, "I don't know, I didn't see any signs," he said quietly. After a few moments of silence between them, a loud thunderclap filled the void. Making both of them stop suddenly, and flinch, covering their ears. As it faded husky turned to face Cooro.
"How far is this town?" Cooro asked sheepishly. Husky couldn't answer, and kept walking. They'd only walked ten more minutes when they came upon the small town. It was far more gloomy and quiet than Husky remembered. The shady characters unnerved Husky as they walked the dirt road, some were eying them suspiciously. Husky and Cooro didn't realize their +Anima markings were showing. They thought nothing of it. No sooner did they enter the town, the rain came. Pouring out it's immense and seemingly endless amount of rain. The wind picked up, whipping the rain in their eyes. Stinging their faces. Husky tried to tell Cooro where to go, but the howling wind was too loud. So he pointed at the most decent-looking Inn he could see through the rain.
When they got inside they were met with a warm, inviting atmosphere. A complete change from outside, "I'm s-so c-c-cold, M-Myrrha-a," Cooro chattered. Husky nodded and got a room with two beds. They went up to the top floor, the third story of the building, and opened the door to their room, all the way down the hall and to the left. Only one room on the right.
"We should probably g-get out of these c-c-clothes, so we d-d-don't f-f-freeze," Husky stuttered. Cooro nodded, shivering and slowing stripping himself down to his undergarments. Husky did the same and hung their dripping clothes on the coat rack next to the door. They both wrapped themselves in the blankets from their beds, "C-Cooro," husky chattered, "do you really think we should stay in Sandra? D-don't you think we could find b-better work than that? No offense to N-N-Nana, but s-s-seamstress' assistant? I think n-not,"
Cooro shrugged, still shivering. The fall air mixed with the rain gave their bodies illusion that winter had already come. They felt like they were naked in the snow, "I'd like to s-s-stay with Nana. Just f-for one more winter. B-because she won't come w-w-with us anymore," Cooro said quietly hugging his knees tighter, wrapping the blankets tighter around him. Nana was like the older sister, or mother he never had. She always took care of him. All of them. Even Husky missed her, a little, though he'd never admit it.
"Cooro," Husky said calmly, "I don't think that would be a good idea. You know what I explained to you earlier? About our presence only bringing her pain?" Cooro nodded, "well, think about it. If the reason she became a +Anima is because her boozer father was abusing her, then what do you think we'll do? We're both +Anima, we'd met her only a few months after that happened. Our presence will only bring her painful memories of that incident back," Husky had learned to speak his mind without feeling like he was being judged. He could say this now, because he didn't care if people knew he cared. Cooro nodded again, though he didn't quite understand why. Husky just didn't want to interrupt her new life as a normal girl, he knew that's what she always wanted, "we should get some sleep and talk about a plan tomorrow," he said quietly. Cooro didn't speak, but nodded again and rolled over on his small bed.
"Goodnight, Husky," he said sadly.
"Goodnight, Cooro," Husky sighed.
Me:I know it's lame so far, but it'll get better by the second one! I promise! Isn't that how it usually goes? The first one's lame but the second and most after are awesome? Or cool? =D
Varg: Frenchie, it's lame. No one will review. No one will like it. Deal with it. =/
Me:Why can't you be nice Varg? DX
Varg:I dunno. Maybe because you make my character all weird in this series!
Me:... Weird how? o.o
Varg:You know...
Me:... I don't get it, I didn't make you a girl. And I didn't pair you with Cooro or Husky. So what's the problem? o.o
Varg:Never mind. The readers will find out later, in the next chapter. You'll see, I'm weird... =_='
Me:Anyway, please review. Let me know if I should stop now because I'm boring. Haha...
Peace & Love
