Takono just had another party on the ship for no reason! She went in her bedroom and picked up her badly-stitched toy bear. She smiled and laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling thinking about her life before Jackal.
"Furuma-Nii-Chan, arigatou..."
"Furumaaa!!!" Takono called out. Furuma and Takono were only 4 years old.
"What?"
"You know where my teddy went? I CANT FIND IT!!!"
"Well it IS just a bear!"
"NO ITS NOT JUST A BEAR! IT HELPS ME NOT GET SCARED!"
"hmm..." Furuma looked around. "I'll go look for it." Takono smiled.
Furuma saw an older kid around 8 years old with Takonos bear. He was trying to rip its head off.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Furuma yelled in the kids face.
"HEY DUDE! HELP ME RIP THIS TEDDY BEAR! I STOLE IT FROM SOME STUPID GIRL LAST NIGHT! I WANNA SEE HER FACE WHEN SHE SEES IT RIPPED UP!"
The kid laughed, thinking about how Takono would cry. Furuma promised to get the bear back in one piece so he kicked the kid in the shin and ran away with the bear. The 8 year old followed him.
"Heres your bear back, Takki."
Takono was so happy to see her bear again. She hugged it really tight. The 8 uyear old came and grabbed its head. Takono was still holding the body so they pulled on the bear.
"GIMME IT BACK! ITS MY BEAR!!!"
"NO! I DONT WANT TO!"
Suddenly the bears head tore off. The 8 year old ripped out the stuffing and threw it at Takono. He ripped the head itself too. Takono got so frustrated and sad that she got a temper tantrum and started to attack the kid with rocks, kicks, and punches.
"MEANIE! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE BEAR! WHYD YOU RIP IT!"
She yelled and hit and cried so much. She threw dirt and ripped up leaves at him and pulled his hair. She stepped on his foot and he thought she was crazy so he ran away.
"Well, he's gone. Lets go--Takono?"
Furuma stared at Takono holding her ripped up bear and crying. She was sitting on the ground staring at the bear with tears rushing down her face, dripping off her chin and on the ground.
"How much do you like that bear?"
"When youre not around, it helps me stop being scared. Ever since I had this bear I stopped screaming in the dark, hiding behind rocks in thunderstorms, and I even like bugs now. This bear is my best friend. I dont have parents or brothers and sisters to help me so i have a little friend right here." Furuma smiled.
"Takono, you want me to be your brother?" Takono smiled. "Sure, Furuma-Nii-Chan!"
Takono found a washed up sewing kit and fixed her bear.
"I'll name you...BEARY!" Takono said.
"Beary?" Furuma questioned.
"What CAN I name him?"
"Pinto?"
"Good idea!" Takono laughed.
Later, a jaguar spotted Furuma. It growled, then fell to the ground. Furuma turned his head and stared at the jaguar. It looked sick. Even worse, it was pregnant.
"TAKONOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Takono quickly ran up to Furuma. She froze as soon as she had seen the jaguar.
"F-f-f-f-f-furuma? Theres a fat jaguar...behind you..." She pointed to the jaguar and had fear in her eyes.
"Its not fat, its pregnant!"
"Pregnant?"
"Its gonna have a baby!"
The jaguar roared and scared Takono and Furuma. They both ran up to the jaguar. Furuma was at the head trying to relax the jaguar and Takono was at the end trying to get the babies. Tha animal pushed hard and soon, 2 male jaguars came out.
"AWWWWWW!!!!!! THEYRE SO CUUUUUUUTE!!!" The kids cooed.
Takono was looking all around the room.
"Heh, my life has changed since I joined this crew..."
"Oi, Takono! Everyones shaking soda and making them turn into fountains! COME ON BEFORE I DRINK IT ALL!" Takono ran outside and shook 4 soda cans at the same time. She opened them all and KABOOOM!!!!!!!!! SODA FOUNTAIN MANIA!!!!!!!!! Takono was so glad to be a mugiwara.
