Kappa's Story

-Kappa's POV-
Back then, for the first time of my life, I did the second most embarassing moment of my incredible self. It was a hot summer day, and I wanted to eat some fresh grape fruits. I used to find it near my lake. But on that crused day, I couldn't find any. That was why I walked further to Carpenter's house. Too bad the sun was too much and I couldn't stand it. I collapsed on the way.
I knew. It was too embarassing for magical creature as incredible as me.
Then, I heard sounds of small footsteps. And a girl voice followed it.
"Whoah, what's this?" She startled.
How rude.
She don't know me?
I'm, the incredible Kappa?
"Are you okay?" she asked me again.
No way I'm okay. Where's your brain, you stupid blonde...
"Are you some kind of frog?"
Ah. Damn. Like this, I forced to speak to this low human creature...
"Wa...ter..." I said with all my might. The girl's eyes was sparkling as she hear me talk.
"The frog's talking! Woah, wait! I'll bring the water right away!"
How noisy. But she came back with a bottle of water and pour it onto my head.
Ah... I feel life again.
"Thank you for your help, human girl," I thanked her. Well, as a magical creature, I had to show a wise character, hadn't I?
"Your welcome, Giant Frog," she smiled to me. A very big smile. But that stupid smile made me want to kick her ass.
"I'm not giant frog. I'm magical creature, Kappa. Stop humiliating me or I'm going to curse you, Human!"
~000~
I hate human. They didn't listen to what I said. Especially this human girl. This human girl who was always coming to my lake, calling my name. My quiet world suddenly became noisy. That was why I didn't show my self to her, no matter how many times she called me. Serve her right.
"Kappaa! Won't you show yourself to me today?"
As if I would care about you.
"How about this? I have this delicious cucumber for you~ If you don't show yourself, I'm gonna eat by myself~"
Cucumber?
Aah.. that watery green fresh vegetable?
I love cucumber!
Ah, shit.
.
Finally, I showed myself.
.
"You'll get fat. Gimme that." I said, still in cool state.
"Woah! You came out! Finally! Gotz right, you'll appear if I give you cucumber!"
Damn that carpenter. He shouldn't tell her my weakness.
"Shut up. You're so noisy. I'll take it. Don't come here anymore. Bye."
Yep. That was the incredible magical creature supposed to do. Appears and dissapear in cool way.
But as I said before, she didn't listen. She kept coming with more cucumber. And I couldn't refuse the smell of cucumber.
Sometimes she came at noon with her face all pale. I guess her work take a lot of her. That was why, at the tenth day she came, I gave her my un-precious blue power berry.
"I-Is this for me? You give me this?" She asked me, suprised.
"Yeah. This way you'll avoid fatigue. So that you can produce more cucumber for me," I explained to her, not to make her misunderstand.
"Haha! Thank you! I apreciate this!"
Was she happy? Just because that un-precious thing? She made such a happy smile. An annoying big smile.
~000~
"Hey, Kappa. Can I touch your skin?"
That day when she came to me, she suddenly asked unpredictable question.
"Why?"
"I want to know if the texture is same as human skin or frog skin..."
Damn her.
"Stupid. Magical creature can't touch human."
"Eh?"
"If you touch me, I'll became unpure and dissapear."
She paused when she hear my answer, then finally she said, "I won't ever touch you then. And you, as well. No matter how much you want to touch me, you can't!"
I look at her blue eyes. She said it seriously, thoughtfully.
"As if I would want to touch you."
~000~
Days past quickly. months past quickly.
Summer turned into Autumn, and Autumn turned into winter. In winter, my lake frozen and that girl couldn't meet me. Yet when the spring shine was coming, the breeze and warmth melt the ice. Finally, I could meet her. Somehow, I wanted to see that blue shappire eyes. I just wanted to.
But she didn't come at the first day of spring. Neither the second, third, or even tenth. I wonder if she finally decided not to disturb me.
From a family who used to hike on monday, I knew that the farm blonde girl has been sick since new year. The sickness was not that serious, so she should be able to wondering around the mountain as usual, soon.
Too bad. I was glad it calmed down lately. If she came, the mountain would be noisy again... how troublesome.
Thirteenth days, she came. She didn't throw cucumber as usual, I guess she ran out cucumber. She just sat down there with her rod drawn, fishing quietly.
I'll pass today. That girl became too different. Did something happened during winter?
