SUMMARY: When Cooro begs Kazana to come to Astaria will a new jealousy arise from Senri?

In Sailand

Kazana sweat dropped as Cooro was using puppy dog eyes to persuade him to come with them on their journey. "Pwease Kazana?" Cooro said. Senri was sending an intense glare his way. Kazana replied "I don't think," then he made the mistake of looking into Cooro's pleading eyes, "Arg fine only for awhile."

Cooro began to jump up and down enthusiastically until he saw the others faces. "Come on give him a chance!" Cooro said. He started tugging Senri's poncho and said "Pwease!" Senri sighed and gave a stiff nod. "YAY!" Cooro yelled as he dragged Kazana on the ship.

Husky glanced at the tensed Senri and said to Nana "I got a bad feeling about this."

Back in Astaria

As they were walking towards a near by town Cooro spotted an apple tree. "Oh oh oh there's an apple tree! Can I pick one?" Cooro asked Husky. Husky sighed and said "only one." Cooro tried to reach up but was to short. Cooro pouted.

Senri was about to grab an apple for the young crow but Kazana placed Cooro on his shoulders to get one. Senri suppressed a growl as he watched the happy Cooro grab an apple from Kazana's shoulders. Cooro poked Kazana's head and asked, "Do you want one Kazana?"

He smiled and said "sure." Cooro reached up and grabbed one for Kazana. Cooro asked, "What about you guys?" The others shook their heads no. Then Cooro spotted something in the corner of his eye. He smiled and said, "Guess what Senri I found a bee hive and I bet it's full of honey!"

What he said got into their brains. 'Beehive?' Kazana said, "Cooro that's not such a good—"Cooro screamed, "Kyaaaa!" A swarm of very angry bees came from the tree. "Bu-bu-bu-bu- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS!!!!" Cooro whipped out his wings and flew in the sky with the swarm following him.

"COORO!" Nana and Husky yell. Kazana spread out his wings and went after Cooro. The bees caught up with the poor crow. "Ow! Someone make them stop!" Cooro pleaded. Kazana pushed his wings faster and grabbed the young boy from behind. "Hold on Cooro!" he said. Then he began to dive for the river.

Cooro clung to Kazana's shirt and took a big breath. Kazana dove into the lake and the cold water hit them like a punch in chest. Cooro wrapped his arms tighter around the boy. Kazana turned a light pink and then surfaced for air.

The bees left as soon as they got to the water. When the duo broke through the water they headed for shore. Kazana noticed Cooro wasn't swimming and worried. "Cooro are you hurt?" Kazana asked. Cooro looked embarrassed and said quietly "I can't swim." Kazana stopped swimming for a second and said "then I'll teach you."

He held Cooro at arms length away and Cooro looked scared. Kazana said, "Relax." And then Cooro began to feel less and less tense. He started to float, Kazana let go and said, "Just move your arms and legs and you'll be swimming." Cooro moved his arms slowly and then moved faster. The others came through the trees.

Cooro paddled back to the shore slowly yelling, "I can swim! I can swim! I can swim!" Then he started sinking and flailing his arms. Kazana grabbed Cooro under his arms and pulled him to shore. When they were back on the shore Cooro grinned sheepishly and said, "Guess I need more practice huh?"

Kazana smiled at him and gave a nod. Husky hit Cooro over the head with his staff. Kazana asked, "What's that?" Nana answered, "The Cooro punishing stick." Kazana said, "Can I see that?" Husky gave him the staff. Then Kazana bopped Cooro on his head. Cooro whined, "I thought you were on my side Kazana!" Kazana smiled at Cooro and said, "That's what you get for being careless."

Husky smiled and said "looks like I'm not the only one that thinks so." Cooro rubbed the bump growing on his head. Senri glared at the hawk but turned his attention to the young boy. Senri gave Cooro a bright shiny red apple. Cooro smiled and said, "Thanks Senri but I'm sorry that I didn't get any honey for you." Senri just smiled and stole glanced at the now seething Kazana. Cooro took a big bite and more than half of it was gone. They roll their eyes and walk back to the woods.

The sun began to set and Kazana said, "How 'bout we camp out for the night?" Husky looked at the sky and said, "That's a good idea we'll be at the town by the afternoon tomorrow." So with that said the five set up camp. Nana asked, "Hey Kazana you Cooro and Senri go wash up while Husky and I pitch the fire." Kazana said, "Usually I'd say no but I understand if you don't want me here to see you and fish boy sucking faces."

Nana and Husky turned bright red and said at the same time "We are not!" Cooro pulled on Senri's poncho and asked, "Why are they red? And what does sucking faces mean?" Senri just sighed and pushed Cooro to the lake with Kazana following them. They stripped down to their boxers and got in the water. Cooro and Kazana got out their wings and began cleaning themselves. Kazana accidentally sprayed Cooro with water from his wings.

"Hey you did that on purpose!" Cooro said splashing water in Kazana's direction. "Hey!" Kazana said while splashing water back at Cooro. Soon they were splashing each other back and forth. Senri felt uneasy as he watched the two have fun. Cooro sensing Senri's uneasiness looked over at him an asked happily, "do you want to join in?" Senri walked over to them occasionally splashing Cooro now and again. Then Kazana said, "We'd better be getting back."

They got their clothes back on and headed back to camp. During dinner Kazana said, "This is good who made it?" Cooro said happily, "Senri did! He's very good at spices." Kazana said to himself "Who would've guessed?" As the night dragged on Senri sat down with Nana using his leg as a pillow and Husky leaning on him.

Husky asked, "Cooro aren't you coming?" Cooro looked at him and said "Not tonight." Instead of Senri, Cooro curled up next to Kazana and fell asleep. Kazana was shocked by his decision and action but was comfortable and fell asleep next to Cooro. Senri on the other hand was furious and was barely keeping himself from killing Kazana. Senri thought to himself 'mine' as he looked at Cooro's sleeping form.
