I figured I'd update this story because I love you all so much!
To:
Krazy Katieness: I'm glad that you like this story. And here it is.
Iceshadow911247: No, no she doesn't. And add to the fact that Kin already fatal wound in the exact same spot the cannonball hit her… OUCH! The latest I've ever sleep is 10:30. I'm an early bird (ever since I was born) so that's sleeping in for me. And I only use my iPod to check email, so whenever I use the family laptop to go into my email (since I only check it on the computer once every 2 months) I always have to delete like hundreds of emails. Most from
Now, this chapter is softer after last chapter. More on Kin adjusting to life at Big Green.
Kin's POV…
I had healed remarkably over night. I still couldn't push myself too hard or anything like that. But, I felt a lot better. In fact, Wu said that if I take it easy, I could go see Dog King. As long as someone came with me.
So, Sonia said she and Yaksha would come with me.
"I can't wait to see Dog King again! I haven't seen him in years!" I said happily. I was practically jumping with joy.
"Calm Down, you don't want to be bed ridden for another week do you?" Sonia asked while Yaksha held my head down to keep me from jumping. (A/N: My friends do this to me all the time! Not joking!)
"Ok, mom! And Yaksha." I said teasingly.
"Ok, Wu-Song and Dog King work in Big Green's dentist room. I've got an idea." Sonia said
"What is it?" I asked
"You hide behind me and Yaksha while I step in, and we surprise Dog King!" Sonia said
"Let's do it!" I say.
Sonia steps in and I try my best to hide behind her and shadow her.
"Hello Mystique Sonia, come here for a dentist appointment?" A man who I'm assuming is Wu-Song asked
"No, I'm just wondering if Dog King's here." Sonia said
"I'm here. Is there something you need me to do?" Dog King asked. I can tell he doesn't know I'm behind Sonia yet.
"Yeah, there is actually. Tell me if you recognize her?" Sonia says as I step out from behind her.
"Well if it isn't my old friend, Kin the Wolf Queen. How have you been?" Dog King asked as he hugged me.
"Same old, same old." I say.
"I'm assuming you know my brother." Dog King gestured to Wu-Song.
"I've heard of the great dental warrior, Wu-Song." I said.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you get those injuries?" Wu-Song asked
"Now that's a story." Sonia laughed
"Oh… well a bear was going to swipe his claws at Commander Apetrully and I pushed him out of the way. Well the bear swiped at me and I was hurt pretty badly. And yesterday, I pushed myself too far and was hit in the chest with a cannonball." I explained while smiling.
Wu-Song had a look of disbelief and confusion on his face. Dog King's face was hard to read.
"It sounds crazy I know, but it really happened." Sonia smiled.
"Same old Kin I see." Dog King smiled
"I've never changed." I shrug
"Wait, you told me that you weren't going to pick sides." Dog King said
"I'm not one hundred percent sure if I'm joining Big Green, yet. But, I'm thinking about." I explained
"So how sure are you?" Sonia asked
"57% sure." I said
Everyone laughed a bit at this.
Lunchtime. The same day…
"I'm glad you and Dog King got to catch up." Sonia said as she placed some noodles on her tray.
"I know. I mean the last time I saw him was when Highroller told all animals not to trust humans. And that was the last time I saw Monkey King too…" I pondered
"Well good luck finding him. We don't have any monkeys in Big Green." Sonia said
"Darn shame…" I said
"We'll look who it is; glad to see you're feeling better, Kin." Kow-Loon said walking up to us.
"After what happened yesterday, I guess so." I said
"What happened yesterday?" Kow-Loon asked
"She got hit with a cannonball in the exact same spot as her injury." Sonia answered for me.
"Oooh… Ouch." Kow-Loon said
"Yeah, it really hurt. But, I'm better now."I said
"That's good and a bit confusing." Kow-Loon muttered.
"Hey, why don't you join us for lunch?" I offered. Sonia glared at me.
"Uh… um… Sure. I guess." Kow-Loon seemed a bit surprised by my offer.
I spotted Lin Chung sitting at a table by himself. There were 3 open seats.
"Mind if we sit here?" I asked. He shook his head but I could tell he wasn't happy that Kow-Loon was with us.
I saw Alpha Girl, Mighty Ray, and Muscle Lee at one table. And Mr. NoHands, Jumpy, Goldeneye, and Archer Lee at another.
"So, how have you been feeling since yesterday?" Lin-Chung asked
"Ok as I'll ever be I guess." I smiled
"I'm surprised you survived that." Kow-Loon said
"I guess I'm just thicked skin." I shrugged
"If that's what you want to call it." Sonia muttered under her breath. Kow-Loon and Lin-Chung didn't hear it, but I did.
"Oh just eat your noodles." I said to her.
"You heard me?" Sonia asked appalled
"Yeah." I said as if it didn't matter.
"Interesting. All those years living with the wolves must have increased your senses." Lin-Chung said
"I guess so." I smiled
"AGH!" I heard a splat.
We all whipped around to see Mighty Ray and Alpha Girl covered in noodles.
"I know I'm going to regret this, but what happened?" I ask as we all run over to them
"This Second Squad loser just her grip on her noodles." Mighty Ray answered.
"Meaning he chucked his noodles at me." Alpha Girl looked ready to rip his head off.
"Only after you threw yours at me!" Mighty Ray fired back
"She did not do such thing!" Muscle Lee shouted at him
"Mighty Ray… innocent!" Jumpy came to Mighty Ray's defense
Soon, a big argument started. Lin Chung was trying his best to calm everything down, to no avail.
I started to back away.
"I don't get it. I've only known these guys for like a week, they have a lot in common. Why are they arguing?"I thought.
"What are you doing?" Commander Apetrully shouted as he ran up to us all.
"They started it!" Alpha Girl and Mighty Ray shouted as they pointed to each other. Lin-Chung shook his head in shame.
"I'm disappointed in you. And in front of Kin too." Commander turned to me. "I'm so sorry that you had to witness this. They do not seem to get along very well." Commander said
"It's ok. I just always thought that Big Green was a place where everyone got along with everyone." I said not looking at either squad.
"Well, almost everyone gets along with everyone." A female voice said from behind me.
I turned to see Peacock Queen enter the room. I mentally groaned
Peacock Queen was never my favorite animal in the world.
"Kin? Kin is that you?" Peacock Queen asked in a happy tone.
"Yeah. Yeah it's me." I said
"Well I didn't know you joined Big Green." Peacock Queen walked up to me.
"She hasn't joined, yet." Sonia interjected.
"What are you wearing? A girl as pretty as you doesn't deserve to wear such dirty clothes." Peacock Queen said
"I'm pretty comfortable." I said
"Come; let's see if we can make you look even prettier." Peacock Queen started dragging me toward the exit of the mess hall.
"Oh no." I said with fake happiness.
"Peacock Queen, I think Kin's more comfortable in what she's wearing." Sonia said catching up to us.
"She knows that she's human, she should at least look like one." Peacock Queen started to drag me to Sonia's room.
"Oh crud." Sonia ran to catch up with us.
Sonia's POV…
I had to admit, Kin and I were against this at first, but Peacock Queen was doing such a good job of giving Kin a makeover, we actually started to like it.
First, Peacock Queen told Kin to wash up and brush her teeth. Which were still in very good condition.
Then, she had Kin change out of her wolf pelt and into a forest green top with sleeves that started at her elbows and went down to her wrist, a white square on the top with black lace that criss-crossed over the square, a black skirt that went to her ankles, a thinner sky blue skirt with gold tufts of strings at the end that went over the white skirt (AKA: Something like a belly dancer skirt.), and the only deal Kin made with Peacock queen was that she didn't wear any shoes, so instead, she wore a golden bracelet with small emeralds on each ankle, golden bracelets on her wrists, along with her usual bomba rocks.
Right now, Peacock Queen with Yaksha's help was combing Kin's hair. Which was a bit tricky since Kin's hair was so long. But, it did look better, more like it did when we were little.
Golden Strings that shined in the light whenever she moved.
"And… I'm… Done! What do you two think?" Peacock Queen asked as she put a black head ban in Kin's hair.
Kin looked at herself in the mirror.
"I… I actually like it." Kin said
"Kin, you look beautiful. Even more so than before." I said happily.
"Unfortunately, it's very late. So you can't show the other's your new look until tomorrow. It's almost pass curfew." Peacock Queen.
"First Squad has training tomorrow." I said. Kin opened her mouth. "And no. You can't come; you're not going to hurt yourself again." I said. Kin pouted a bit.
"Fine, but you owe me." Kin said as she left for her room.
"I can't wait to see First Squad's reaction to her new look!" I said happily as I got ready for bed.
The next chapter will be more action-y. And what do you think of Kin's new look?
