DISCLAIMER: Uh... (eeek... I ain't good at this ^.^;;;) All characters are created and owned by me. I hafta admit, I did get some ideas in this story from some anime. To not get in trouble for the similar ideas, I'll give em credit. Organoid-like creatures - Zoids Chaotic Century. Mechs - uh... MechWarrior? Zoids? Gundam? Any show with cool, giant destructive robots with immense firepower. ^_^;;;;

#2: A New Life: Part 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"OW, OW, OW!!! Sakura, can't you be any gentler with that mallet of yours?" Shinnoto was dodging here, and there for his life. In hot pursuit was an enraged Sakura, who was bringing down her heavy mallet everywhere as she tried to hit Shinnoto. Bits of wood, plastic, and even metal went flying. They had been at it for hours; they even skipped lunch! Tsuzaki just sat there, slumped on the ground leaning against a sturdy tree trunk. He was shoving popcorn down his mouth, watching Sakura and Shinnoto with amusement. Eventually, he got bored of this 'whack the Shinnoto game,' and had wandered off to catch some fish... with his bare hands. After an hour, Tsuzaki had returned, carrying a fish that would even have dwarfed an elephant. Instead of stopping to marvel the fish (or rather faint from its hefty size,) Sakura was still at Shinnoto's throat and Shinnoto was, well, still running for his life.
Tsuzaki scatched his head, "Uh... dinner, anyone?"
"Dinner? YAY!!" the 'predator and prey' said in unison. They both glared at each other for saying the same thing at the same time, and then proceeded to trample Tsuzaki in their haste to reach the fish, which was now roasting on the camp fire.
"Oooh, that fish looks sooo delicious!" said Sakura, noting the size and muscular structure of the beast. Shinnoto didn't say anything because he was too busy drooling and imagining what it would taste like. [Aw man, I just gotta get a bite of that thing. Just look at its crisp, golden-brown skin. The sweet and sour juices dripping from it. The tantializing way it screams out, "EAT ME!"]
He lunged at the fish with a fork and knife. Sakura, seeing this, had somehow snatched up the fish, leaving Shinnoto to fall into the flickering flames.
"MY A$$ IS ON FIRE!" He ran around in flames while Sakura was rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically. Tsuzaki took no notice in this, partly because he was still knocked out from being trampled. Finally, the slightly charred Shinnoto had gathered up enough common sense to jump into the nearest body of water. He came out, but when he did, it wasn't exactly a pretty sight. The fire had burned away most of his clothes and you should pretty much figure out the rest...
"Ugh, Shinnoto, put some clothes on!" Sakura said, while blushing furiously and covering her eyes. She turned around so that her back was facing Shinnoto, and handed him a clean pair of t-shirt and shorts which he snatched and quickly shoved on. The two of them certainly didn't forget about their dinner and went back to stuffing their faces. By the time Tsuzaki had awakened, the only remains of the fish were its bones.
"Hey, where did the fish go? Wait a second... did you two eat ALL of it?" Tsuzaki frantically searched through the rib bones of the fish in hope of finding at least a tiny scrap.
"Uh, we didn't do anything..." Shinnoto let out a loud burp which cleared up Tsuzaki's questions.
"Oh dammit."
"Aw, poor Tsuzaki..." He backed away slowly, in fear of being glomped again. Sakura noticed this so she backed down a little. "Hey, I know something that would cheer you up. Follow me!" Instead of following Sakura, Tsuzaki and Shinnoto were both being dragged along the ground.
"OOO, EEE, AAAAHH!!!" The two boys complained and whined from getting hit by the bumpy rocks along the way. The ride was over when Sakura let go of her grip. Something soft and pink drifted down onto Tsuzaki's face. It was a cherry blossom's petal. He took a deep breath and sighed. The sweet fragance and soft feather-like grass was too good to be true. Up above was the full moon, and the glittering stars, all spread out in the dark, mysterious universe. Tsuzaki stood up and checked out his surroundings. There was a lake with clear crystal blue water. Around it were some cherry blossoms. They were everywhere!! A gentle breeze blew across his face. Behind him, Sakura was watching... mesmerized. His normal black and blue (no, it ain't from bruises) hair was silvery in the moonlight. For some reason, his sapphire eyes seemed like they were glowing. She couldn't take this any longer and looked away, blushing. Shinnoto walked up to Tsuzaki.
"Hey, what's up?"
"I dunno... don't you think the sakura by the lake looks beautiful?"
"..."
"Uh, Shinnoto?"
"Uh huh..." Tsuzaki looked to his left and saw Shinnoto staring in the opposite direction, at Sakura.
"Um, I wasn't talking about THAT Sakura." No sooner had he said it, Sakura was already over, smashing her mallet square in Shinnoto's face.
@.@;
[Oh well, I'd best leave them alone. It ain't fun getting stuck in the middle of a fight.] Tsuzaki walked away from them and leaped up onto a tree branch. If he had worn a robe and some sandals, he would have fulfilled the samurai look. He just leaned against the tree and stared up into the sky, thinking. [I could always abandon my friends and search for my 'home.' But what if I couldn't find it? Where would I go?] It had never occurred to him until now, that Sakura and Shinnoto were his friends. They accepted him willingly. It was as if Tsuzaki was reborn again. He drifted off into the night, deep in many thoughts...
