The Quest for an Answer
AKA The Pinkest Bunny You'll Meet
Kuma's the only pink bunny I've ever met. I've seen them in normal colors, browns and whites, even that light grey breeders refer to as blue, but he is the only pink one. I've been wondering about his coloration for awhile, but even when I ask him how he got so pink, he just ignores me. Or he changes the subject. He's such a sly little bunny that I normally don't even know what he's done until long after he has already done it.
Today, though, today I am determined to get an answer. I peer at him, putting on my super serious face, "Alright, Kuma." I smile my own sly smile in response to the questioning look he gives me. That irritating little smirk on his lips that says he thinks he already knows what I'm going to ask him. Little does he know that I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I giggle to myself as I think of this carefully crafted plan, an evil little chortle of glee that just screams that I'm up to no good. "I wanna know something," I pat his head; I know he likes that, his little eyes close in ecstasy and he makes this cute chirping noise. "Can you read minds?"
Even though the question is ridiculous, I maintain my composure, still maintaining my serious face. Kumagoro is looking at me dumbfounded. I knew it would work; now he's out of familiar ground. Almost time to ask my super important question, but first to butter him up. "Well, I guess you aren't...." I pretend to be crestfallen for a minute, and then brighten back up, a daisy looking up at the sky and the sun, "I thought you might've been since you always know everything!" I rub his ears and he nuzzles my hand, "So, I guess you're just really, really smart. Way smarter than me! Maybe you're even smarter than Touma!" It sounds silly to me because Touma is definitely the smartest person I know. Kuma is nodding and looking very pleased with himself and with me for recognizing the fact that under all that fluff he is actually a super genius. I continue while he can still be caught unaware, "So, since you're a genius and all," Kuma fluffs up his fur to appear very regal and impressive. "Why don't you explain why you're also so very pink?" I grin; bracing myself for the world shattering truth that I am positive my little pink friend will tell me.
Kuma blinks for a minute, then gives me his most scary angry face, cheeks puffing out. For a few moments nothing is said, then that little pink mouth of his opens and he's acting all suave and sophisticated, "Well, Ryu," He smirks, pleased with his answer. I hold my breath in anticipation, wishing I could make my heart stop beating so loudly, I don't want to miss this. "Why are you so you?" Arms crossed he watches me while I think.
After a minute of very intensive thinking I decide that it is a question I don't know the answer to. "Aren't you the smart one, Mr. Kumagoro?" I point out, starting to color again. I swear that evil, pink bunny is laughing at me.
