We Help Each Other Out
The Hill
Griffon walked out the temple gate, well, actually she stomped out. And she did so while muttering every curse she could remember in every language she could speak.
Raimundo had done it again, ever since he found out about how she was afraid of leeches, he had been sneaking them into her stuff. This was the fifth time. He put it in her food, her FOOD!
She trudged up her favourite hill, where she could just stare at the sky until she either cooled down, or Omi came & made her feel better by telling her what he had done to punish Rai, what Rai's reaction was, things like that. She remembered how the first time he had yelled at Rai, the times after that, he blended the leeches up & poured it on Rai's head.
She plopped down at the top of the hill & lay on her back, staring at the purplish sky. She sat there for a good, relaxing, five minutes before she heard the familiar, "Griffon?"
"Humph?" She replied.
"You gonna come back, now?" Omi asked.
"Humph." She repeated.
"Okay, then." He sat down next to her & followed her gaze to stare at the sky as well, not looking at the other.
There was a long silence before Griffon spoke up. "Why'd you come up here if you weren't going to say anything?" She put her arms behind her head.
"I guess, just to do this." He said. He put one hand on Griffon's hip, the other on her shoulder, & pushed, sending her rolling down the hill. He stood there & laughed as he watched her tumble down.
The second Griffon was on her feet again, Omi turned around & headed for the temple as fast as he could. And, of course, Griffon chased after him, determined to catch him.
"Get back here, Omi." She called, now feeling a lot better than before.
"Think of it this way." Omi called back. "At least you don't feel so bad, anymore."
"Maybe so, but that's a bad thing for you!" Griffon yelled, picking up speed so that she could catch up with him. (A/N: She isn't using her shifter speed because it would give her an unfair advantage.)
End-of-story!
I don't own Xiaolin Showdown. Griffon is my character. Blah, Blah, Fish Cakes, BLAH!!!
