((Cause apparently it's the done thing:
WARNING WARNING: LASE-
I mean,
DISCLAIMER: I don't own DC, I just happen to (well duh) have a copy of the game.))
"Master…"
Ugh…what time is it…
"Master! Wake up!"
A pair of hazel eyes meet mine as I stir.
"Oh. Xiao. It's you. What time is it?" I rub my eyes and look down at my bed.
"LATE! That's what time it is!"
"Xiao, "late" is not a…" My eyes drift to the clock on the opposite wall…
8:39 AM
"ARRRRRGH IT'S LATE!"
"Xiao told master, but noooooo, he wouldn't listen…." She flicked her tail to swat a fly.
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"Where's Toan?" Goro tapped his foot.
"Well, how are we supposed to know, Goro?" Ruby sighed. "He did say he'd be here so that we could go shopping."
"Nothing more to it. We'll just have to go by ourselves…" Ungaga murmured.
"Hey, I think they're coming now…" Osmond munched on a carrot.
"HEY GUYS WAIT FOR US!" I yell.
"WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?" They reply.
"Eh…I slept in." I rub my head.
"Surrrrreee" Goro sneered. "And I'm losing weight, too."
"Well. Goro, you are." I snicker.
"What, really..?" He looked down. "You lied!"
"Well, duh. I think it's the point of sarcasm…" I laugh. "OWWWWWW!"
"Xiao thinks master should be nice to his friends"
The rest of the group laughs. "Hey, it's not funny! She bit me!"
"Let's…haha….get…haha…going before we die of laughter...haha!" Ruby suggests in between laughing fits.
"Fine, fine" I grumble "Xiao, any chance you could stop biting me?" I wince.
"Only if master swears to be nice."
"Ok, ok, I swear to be nice." I smile, crossing my uninjured hand's fingers.
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"OOOOOOH IT'S ON SALEEEEEEEEE!" Ruby's eyes lit up.
We all shake our heads.
"Xiao, you didn't have to bite so hard…" I rub my hand.
She cocks her head. "But I didn't, master. That was a light nibble."
If that's a "light nibble", I don't want to see how strong her regular bite is…oww.
"At least, it's the holidays, so we don't have to do any homework for a few weeks" I stretch.
"Like you do your homework, anyway!" Osmond commented.
"Yea, well. Still feels good" I lazily smile. "Erm…why don't we get something to eat? It's not like Ruby's going to be done in the next century"
"HEY! I HEARD THAT."
"THEN HURRY UP, DAMNIT!" Goro yelled.
This always happens…why do we even go together as a group…?
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"..And there were all these cute things for sale, I mean, look at this, and this and this…" Ruby droned on and on, and I couldn't keep myself awake for much longer.
Maybe if I go to sleep, she'll finish when I wake up…
"Master… don't…" Xiao nudges me to try and keep me awake.
"Oh…thanks…" I yawn.
"Hey, are you guys even listening?" Ruby demanded.
"Er…yea. We are Ruby." Ungaga said.
"Right, well. Take a look at THIS!"
"…"
"So, you're telling us, that you went shopping, just to buy a toy mouse?" Osmond chuckled.
"It's not JUST a toy mouse, thank you very much. Look at the magic in this thing!"
"…"
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"Well. That was interesting" I remarked to Xiao as we left.
"Xiao thinks that master should try to be a little nicer. They're our friends, you know..." She played with her ear.
"Still, did we really need to walk around while Ruby tried on everything, but didn't buy anything?"
"Then next time, maybe master should plan something a little bit more fun, right?"
"Maybe." I yawn. "So tired… I wonder if these holidays are going to be interesting, at all."
"If not, then master could always make them interesting" She said, curling next to me.
I swear there was something else in those eyes. Well, she's asleep now.
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"…Xiao? Are you awake?"
She rolled on top of me.
"Ok…probably not…"
What time is it...?
1:19 AM
Oh. Definitely not then. Probably should just…go…back…to sleep…
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"…Is master awake yet…?" She scratched her ear, and poked around, but the boy didn't stir.
"Probably sleeping then."
3:12 AM
"Yup. Sleeping." She curled up again.
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"Xiao…? Xiao…" I nudge her, and try to get her to move off me.
Figures. She's asleep.
"C'mon Xiao. Why did you even sleep on top of me anyway…?" I tickle her, but she doesn't move much.
7:20 AM
"Er. Xiao? We're going to be late soon if you don't wake up…" I try pushing her off gently, but it's not working.
Hmm….
I frown.
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
Tasty fish~! Come to Xiao! Fish fish fish fish fish!
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
Maybe if I poke her mouth or something, maybe she'll wake up.
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
Now, fishes, come into my mouth, and I'll eat you all up!
Yum!
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
"OWWWWWW!" I howl in pain, and finally, she wakes up."
"Nyah…?" She's still in a daze. "Fishies..."
"Xiao…Please…Can you…stop…biting me?" I gasp.
"Huh? Oh. Sorry master. I had this dream about fishes and they were THIIIIS big!" I spread her arms to illustrate her point. "So, what's for breakfast?"
"Er… nothing yet. I can't cook with bleeding hands…" I frown.
"Well, just wait a bit, and then master can cook Xiao some fish?" She looked at me, hopeful.
Sometimes, I wonder…
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
Well, I can sit around all day just looking at my hands. Gotta get up, cook and then see what else we can do today…
"Master…?" Xiao curled up in a ball and frowned.
This…looks bad.
"Xiao, what's wrong?" I run over to try and see what the source of her pain is.
"Could master..."
"Yes, what?"
"Could master make some breakfast?" She smiled.
Well, that was anticlimactic. Now…fish…
(((~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)))
10:01 PM
"Ah…so there really wasn't much going on…"
"Yes, but Xiao and master went out together…"She held my hand.
I blushed.
"And bought some fish!" She smiled, let go of my hand, and took the fish off me.
At least now, she won't complain about fish cravings and bite me instead.
I looked up at the night sky and breathed in. "Xiao…"
"Yes, master?" Already she was trying to eat the fish.
"Please don't eat the fish" I frown.
