Hey yo! As far as I know, Waka is sexy! Don't judge me, you know he is too! :D Abe knows too that Waka's sexy. So... In the last chapter, Akkimi is just an unimportant oc. She'll be used sometimes but, she isn't really that important. Oh god! What did I write? Poor Abe... I always love you and your stupidity! Like I say in all my chapters: REVIEW! Please... I'm desperate... Review, *activate cute eyes* pwease? Pwitty pwease?

Abe smiled proudly and then found himself saying, "alright captain! It's on!"

Waka looked at him and said calmly, "ah, so you finally came, eh baka? I thought that you'd come by tomorrow." He was waiting at a table with to chairs. One of other were already occupied with the Tao master sitting on it.

From the comment Waka had made, Abe could only say, "oh yeah? Well... Um..."

The blond snickered. "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?"

Anger boiled onto Abe and he came up with the perfect comeback. "At least I don't where pink!"

"At least I'm not gay."

Abe flinched for a second before adding, "at least I like a human and not a wolf!"

"At least I have beautiful hair." Waka flipped the feathers on his hat to reveal several of blond strands of hair. So magical.

Abe seemed offended by this yet continued to stare in awe. He cleared his head and exclaimed, "well I have bueatiful hair too, ya know!" He flipped his greasy black hair under his hat. Which almost fell down in the process.

Now with his arm ready on the table, Waka announced, "enough talk. Just arm wrestle! Ready?"

Abe put his arm on the table too. "Yes!"

"Go!" Just as Waka said that, he took out a scroll. It was the previous one from earlier but he took out a paintbrush again. Abe was so far losing this match and then Waka stated, "do you wish to see my painting?" He showed it to the struggling-to-keep-up Abe even though he hadn't even said "yes." But then again, he didn't say "no" either. It was a little girl wearing a bow who seemed happy. She had her eyes wide and sparkling with excitement. "Do you know who this is, mon amie?"

"Um... No?"

"Of course you don't!" Waka said matter-of-factly. "And that is why I will not tell you."

"Then what was the point in asking in the first place?" Abe replied. Suddenly his wrist was starting to feel pain. "Uh... Waka..."

"Oui?"

A snap sound came from his arm. "Ow..."

Waka smiled. All was going according to his plan. "Now... You broke your arm. So—"

Abe's brown eyes widened. "What are you talking about?! YOU BROKE MY ARM!" he said defensively.

The interrupted blond said, "are you done? Because I would like to finish my sentence without interruption please." He glanced Abe. He was silent for once! "Merci. You will pass step three after this task that I am going to give you."

Abe gave the Tao master a pleading look that read, please don't let me get hurt with this "task".

"If you can recover in one day from your broken arm then you will pass step three and get your shoes." Waka told Abe who now had a broken arm that he had to heal, in a day.

"Gods! He's gotta have something on healing! He's gotta!" The young male exclaimed, throwing gray hard covered books with odd blue writing onto the floor. "What the heck are these!" He said uncharacteristically. Waka let Abe into his room so that he can look for the right source to heal his arm in one day. Waka was playing his flute, trying to find some entertainment. He does not trust Abe alone with his stuff, so he sat cross-legged on his futon.

Finally, Abe found scrolls with contents that he can actually read! Thank Amaterasu! "Now... Which one's the one that I'm looking for?" he muttered to himself. He pulled out all of the scrolls and read the titles one by one; Food, History of Nippon, Mikos. Gods of the Celestial Plain, Music, Arts, Travel Guides 1-30, and... Aha! One had kanji that read "healing."

He pulled out the scroll and boy was it loooong! He read one part that had names of tons of races that he hadn't even heard before. "Celestials? Oina? Poncles and Dragonians? Spirits? Gods! Moon Tribe! What the... Oh!" He rested his finger on the word "humans."

The flute playing of the prophet helped Abe scan the words better. He found a concoction of many stuff for healing bones in a day! He could do this!

No he can't! Abe looked at all the sources for the concoctions. Magic. The easiest one that he might be able to find is... "WHERE THE HELL DO I FIND KITSUNE MAGIC!?" He yelled.

Waka stopped playing the soothing sound of his flute. He looked at Abe with curious ocean blue eyes. "Quoi? Kitsune magic? Why of all other magics would you want kitsune magic?"

"Well—"

"You know what? Never mind. Your answer will be weird and disturbing, I guess." Waka assured. The blond went back to his flute playing.

But still, another thing lingered in Abe's mind. "Um..." he started. "What's a celestials?"

Waka stopped playing and sighed. Do I have to answer all of your questions? "The celestials are an extinct race, Abe."

"What about the Oina and the Poncles?"

"Oina live in another part of Nippon. Don't worry about them. Poncles are little human-like creatures about an inch or so tall. They can be mistaken as bugs." Waka thought about Issun. He was so amusing to wind up!

Abe's questions weren't answered yet. Or... Not all of them... "Gods?"

Waka gave Abe a look of disbelief. "You do know what gods are, oui?"

"Um..." He ignored the "oui" part. "Yes I know what gods are!"

Waka stared at him, "then why would you ask?"

Abe felt stupid. "I don't know."

Waka resisted the urge to just leave from the room. "Anymore questions?"

"Yes."

"Go ahead then." He moved his flute to a desk off onto the side so that it won't get damaged when he'll punch a lamp from all these idiotic questions. "Ask away."

"Dragonians?"

"Under the sea, mon amie."

"Spirits are a race?"

"...Probably if says in the scroll."

He looked. Then face palmed. They were a race. Why didn't he just read the book? "What about the Moon Tribe?"

Waka froze.

Abe? Why are you so stupid?
