"We need to go to a pet store and get the things you need... I'm not gonna give you dog kibble or something like that, so I'll have to drop by the store tomorrow to pick up more meat after we eat up the rest for dinner today..." Eblis told the puppy who was still curled up in her lap.
Mihawk, who is now named Hawky for the time being, lifted his head up at the word 'store'. Store equals shopping. Shopping plus women equals hell. Should he be scared?...
He internally shivered when he remembered women grabbing their partner and dragging them around a clothing shop through the window in his younger days. Those were the times he genuinely felt bad for a person's well-being.
Eblis hopped off the bed and went over to her desk. She plopped herself on her chair, spinning herself around to grab a couple of things. The white-haired girl moved the chair so that she was sitting on to the side of the bed with ease. In her mouth was a Dum-Dum lollipop, specifically her favorite flavor: blue raspberry, and in her hands was a mechanical pencil and notepad. "Alrighty, we're gonna need a comfy collar and leash... Sorry, bud, but it's sort of against the law to keep a leash off of you." She said with an apologetic smile at the sight of him giving her an adorable glare.
She continued on with the list of what she needed to get for her new friend, before listing what she wanted for herself silently. When she was finished, she ripped the paper off of the notepad and stood up before going over to her drawers.
At the sight of her taking hold of the rim of her gym shorts, Hawky turned his head away. He may be a man in a body of a puppy, but he's still respectful to a person's privacy. Especially a woman's if they are not aware.
The second that she called his name, he turned his head back around as he got on all fours. Eblis was now wearing a plain black hoodie, a pair of jeans, and sneakers. Nothing too special.
Eblis decided to drive to the store. When Mihawk had followed her outside and to the garage, he was surprised by the strange object. In his perspective it was humongous and a bit overwhelming for him.
She saw how the puppy was awed by the car and couldn't help, but smile. As she helped him get in the car in the front seat and got in herself, she began to explain what the vehicle was and how it worked. She even explained how it was her father's that she now owned after getting her license.
The swordsman listened intently at her explanation of what cars are and other types of technology that the world had. As she drove, she explained what each thing the puppy's eyes look at curiously.
Mihawk was awed by it all and her vivid explanation. This world had such advanced technology! He never thought a little box could be used like a Den Den Mushi and also be used to send messages, and take pictures and videos.
It only took a few minutes before she parked the car in the parking lot. With practiced ease, she shut the car off and took her keys out, shoving them in her pocket. She unbuckled her seat belt and carefully picked up Hawky, holding him comfortably in one arm before exiting her car. She locked the door before closing it so she wouldn't have to press the button on her car keys.
Mihawk looked up from where he was held in two arms and tilted his head to the side at the... whatever it was, on the building. He assumed that they were words and that's what the store is called if he were to be able to read it.
Once the both of them entered, Eblis set Hawky down after getting a basket to carry the things she's getting. She squatted down so she was able to look directly in the puppy's eyes and said, "Make sure you stay close. Tell me if you see anything you like, okay?"
The puppy gave an unsure nod before she stood back up and began walking with Hawky in stride.
Mihawk blinked in bewilderment as he passed by various animals, like different types of birds, lizards, and cats in the store. What he was shocked about? That he can understand them.
"Guys! Look, look! A dog! A dog! Hey, hey! Can you get your owner to let us out?! Please? Please?" A parrot chirped to him from behind his cage, pecking the glass that held him inside.
The puppy just glanced at the bird, slowing down his pace, before giving it a look that clearly said, 'That's not gonna happen.' before catching up with Eblis who was looking at collars.
Mihawk, knowing that he had no chance of escaping from getting a required accessory for dogs, decided to look at the different collars himself.
Some were too girly or too ridiculous or too stupid to his liking. There was none that he liked, he didn't even like the black spiked one that looked comfortable. If he was going to be a puppy, he didn't want to look any stupider than how he felt as one.
He was about to give up on looking and leave it up to Eblis's judgement, but there was one that caught his eye. It was too far for him to reach, but he can see it clearly. It was a velvet leather collar that can be adjusted to fit with a gold little buckle. Hanging on the front of it by a gold hoop connected to the collar itself on a small chain, was a gold cross.
Mihawk whipped his head around and upwards when he saw a hand take the collar from where it hung. He saw Eblis holding it in her hands, looking back and forth between him and the collar. Finally, she settled on shaking her head and placing it in her basket. She squatted down and gave him a scratch behind the ear. "You remind me so much of someone. You two are so alike that it's creepy." She chuckled and stood up.
The swordsman went back to following his new-found owner and couldn't help, but wonder who that certain someone was...
When the both of them got home, Eblis had put everything in it's place. She set up his little bed in her room, though she told him he could sleep on her bed if he liked. Then she kept his new toys on the floor in her room just in case he got bored, after that she put away all of the necessities needed when having a puppy, before putting on his collar. She then cooked dinner for the both of them after putting everything away.
Mihawk found the girl rather odd. She allowed things that normal people wouldn't allow pets to do. For example, allowing him to eat on the table. As the hours had went by that day, she confused him more and more.
Around strangers, she's extremely shy and quiet, but when she's alone with him, she was extremely talkative and quite energetic. She reminded him a lot of a child, but he sort of... Enjoyed it, you can say.
Her voice was rather soothing to his sensitive ears, even when she gets a bit too loud. Speaking of senses, strange enough, he also liked her scent. It was sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. It smelt like a combination of berries and smoke.
He jerked in surprise when he was picked up suddenly and met calculating blood red eyes.
Eblis took a deep breath through her nose before grimacing and holding out the black puppy so it wasn't in smelling range. "You really need a bath." At the sight of Hawky's eyes going wide in shock and horror, she knew immediately what he was up to. "AW HELL NO- OW!" She clutched her red hand that had been bitten and scratched.
"YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE YOU SON OF A BISCUIT!" Eblis screamed through the house with a violently twitching eyebrow.
"Okay... water: check. Puppy shampoos: check. Towels: check. Hair dryer: check. Brush: check. Puppy: in the process of retrieving..." She muttered to herself in the bathroom. Eblis sighed and quietly tip-toed out of the bathroom. I have had years of experience of hide-and-seek, which makes me the ultimate queen of it. Hawky has no idea who he's messing with.
Mihawk panted from where he sat in his hiding spot. Why did he get so scared? Why didn't he like the fact that he would get clean? Was it a dog thing? He doesn't know! He's a swordsman, not a zoologist for Roger's sake!
He just hoped that she wouldn't find him in her dirty clothes bin. He did not want to be bathed. Hell no.
"Found you, Hawky~"
Hawky's eyes widen in horror at the sickly sweet voice. He slowly looked up from his now uncovered body to see a smirking Eblis, who was holding the sweater that was covering his body. Then he realized something that he internally scolded himself for. This was her house. She knew every inch of it. There was no escape.
He yelped when she snatched him up into her arms and firmly held him as he resorted to the only thing he could do at that moment. Bark, growl, and attempt to bite her. He hated being a puppy. He was so weak.
Mihawk jerked and spluttered when he was suddenly dropped into warm water. The puppy stood on his fours, realizing that the water only reached up to touch his belly. He rushed to the side of the bath tub and put his front paws up onto the white marble. He tried to pull himself up... only to slide back down into the water. Too slippery! Damn it!
"Hawky," At the sound of his name being called by his new owner, he looked up to glare as angrily as he could at her. In Eblis's perspective, it was just downright adorable. "I have to get you all washed and clean. Because one: I am not allowing a stinky, adorable puppy roam around my house and kill each plant it passes by. Two: I don't know if you have fleas on you, so I have to use some special shampoo for you. And three: you'll feel ten times better after it all and you can have a good night sleep!... If you resist, I will feed you kibble for breakfast tomorrow."
Mihawk flinched at the last threat. No way in hell is he going to eat... kibble. He mentally sighed as his human and canine mind fought it out with each other. The canine mind gave in at the threat of kibble, so he obediently sat down in the water.
Eblis smiled in satisfaction and nods as she rolled up her sleeves and took off his collar. She grabbed the shower head and turned on the water, testing out how warm it was, before rinsing his fur out as gently as she could.
The Shichibukai closed his eyes and immediately relaxed at the feeling of the warm water hitting his fur, and the fingers that were running through it. Why was I afraid to take a bath again?... He tried to remember. Really he did, but his mind just went to a complete blank, so he eventually gave up.
When he was being dried off with a strange tube on a handle that blows out warm air, he thought about his reaction at the thought of taking a bath. It must have been instinctual, considering his new body. The fact that this happened, things are louder than usual, and his nose was much more sensitive to smells, he can only guess that he had all the characteristics of a dog. He wasn't at the least bit surprised by this, but it didn't mean that he was very fond of this.
Eblis was right though (even though he doesn't want to admit it), he did feel much better than when he ended up in a box in front of her home. What would make this moment better is if he had a nice glass of red wine, but OH!
HE'S APPARENTLY IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE AS A PUPPY WITH A CUTE TEENAGE GIRL!
Cute?
Mihawk is processing...
Processing...
Processing...
Bad Mihawk. Bad Mihawk. The swordsman mentally scolded himself repeatedly, hitting his furry head against the wall for each time he said the phrase in hopes of forgetting what he had just thought.
He eventually stopped after a couple of minutes of head abuse and mentally sighed. Sleep. I need sleep. That's what I need.
With that thought in mind, he collapsed in the middle of the room and curled into a little furry ball. The position was very comfortable for him, so it didn't take long for him to fall into a dreamless sleep.
The ending was a bit rushed, but oh well! xD I hope y'all enjoyed! I'm not all too great of being funny, but I tried my best in little places here and there (even though it's most likely not noticeable).
Love ya, babes.
