A/N: Did I say I would return in late November? I meant mid February! xD. Sorry about that, I got extremely busy with college, and I'm also publishing a book this March :D! The thing is… it will be published only in Chile for the time being, but who knows, if things bode well you might even read it someday!
Ok, back to the story, where were we? Oh, yeah! Yoshi and Happy were traveling towards Tenrou Island and found themselves with some obstacles. Let's keep going!
Lost in an unknown island with a flying cat, great…
"Buuurppp!" Yoshi mumbled as he woke up.
He expected to be dead by the time he opened his eyes, because he stared at death; that dragon was terrifying, and it was the symbol of death itself, so it was hard to believe that both he and Happy were safe and sound at the shore of an island.
"Is this Tenrou Island?" Yoshi asked.
"No, this is a path for Tenrou Island" Happy explained.
"How did we get here?" Yoshi asked again, even more confuse.
"I don't know" Happy confessed "I just know… that we've been saved."
Yoshi couldn't even start to grasp how in hell they could be fine, but he surely thank god for it. He got up and so Happy did.
"Where to, master?" Yoshi asked.
"I don't know…" Happy said concerned "I only was said that the path to Tenrou Island would open."
"Well, in that case standing right here doing nothing is not going to help." Yoshi said as he started walking forward "Let's look around."
Happy did as he said and he started walking behind Yoshi, who seemed oddly calm after all they went through, but that was because Yoshi wasn't letting the fear spill around his body as they walked around the island. The fact that they met such a dragon was still disturbing, as Yoshis were decedents of dragons.
Where we that terrifying? That was a question that might never be answered.
Happy seemed rather down, he was still sick worried about Fairy Tail's members. Yoshi noticed it and he thought a good way to calm him down would be with a fish, but as they have left the shore and entered deep on a forest he tried to see something that might seem tasty, and when he thought to find an apricot he extended his tongue towards it and pulled back. Bad call, he felt a sting in his tongue and suddenly an army of bees came out to fetch them. He also had trapped a honeycomb in his tongue.
"What did you do?" Happy asked as they started running away from the bees.
"I caught a honeycomb by accident!"
Happy sprouted his wings and took Yoshi so they could fly high and luckily try to lose the bees, but as soon as they got and extended view of the island they crashed with some flying fish.
"Why the hell there are winged fish?" Yoshi asked confused.
There were so many that happy eventually dropped Yoshi and his wings disappeared; both of them fell from a great high and they crashed among trees branches that stopped the fall, but hurt them quite a bit.
"Ouch…" Yoshi said as he tried to get up "Are you ok, master Happy?"
Happy wasn't replying, his eyes were rolling as he felt he was about to throw up.
"Come on." Yoshi said as he jumped towards his branch and took him "I'll carry you for a while."
Yoshi jumped back to ground as he fit Happy on his saddle. He seemed really ill, maybe because he hit his head. Yoshi laugh by seeing Happy like that; he was quite an arrogant cat, but he surely could be knocked down with a simple hit to the head.
He started wandering around the island and weird things happened; strange creatures appeared and he beat them up, he found a waterfall and when he tried to fish his tongue almost got eaten by a piranha, he even tried to light a fire when night was falling and for some reason the fire became intense and burnt his face, forcing Yoshi to run towards the waterfall, dive his head in the water and get bitten by one of the piranha.
By the end of the day, when moon rose and the light of the stars and the bonfire he lit as the only lights bringers in a quite dark night, Yoshi came to realize something. He sucked at camping. He laughed as Happy finally came to his senses.
"Ugh… Is there any fish?"
"I'm preparing them." Yoshi said "They are cooking at the bonfire."
Yoshi smiled; it was a really hard day for them. The island was weird and seemed to rather reject them, however he was able to catch some fish in the piranha can, and even if the fire burnt him a little he was able to light it. He felt good, those were countless things he never did back at the Yoshi Island. Food was granted there, there was always someone to take care of you, it was some kind of dull… no, he was the misfit. And this felt rather nice, to know that even if it was kind of hard, at the end of the day he could do things by himself. Yoshi handed a fish on a stick to Happy, which was already cooked, and he only extended his tongue and swallowed the other one that seemed almost ready.
"You eat too fast!" Happy said in a disapproving tone "You don't taste the fish! You shouldn't even be my student if you can't flavor it!"
"Chill out!" Yoshi said calmly as he ate another fish that turned a little bit golden by the fire "This is the Yoshi's ways."
"We're doing this the Happy's way!" Happy interjected with serious eyes "Make sure you chew before you eat."
"I don't have teeth."
"CHEW!"
Yoshi was surprised by the change of tone and he sighed; he took another fish and he tried. It was a pleasant surprise. Sure, he couldn't chew it like Happy, but he let the taste of the fish expand through his large tongue and leave the flavor on it. It was kind of nice, he never thought he could enjoy food that much, usually he just over eat until he was stuffed.
"This is… kind of nice."
"I'm stuffed!"
Yoshi's eyes almost popped out as he saw Happy's hand on his belly; while he flavored the fish Happy took the chance to quickly eat every other fish that was cooking.
"WHAT ABOUT THE FLAVOR?" Yoshi asked.
"Ah, that doesn't really matter." Happy said smirking "The thing that matters is eat as much as possible, even if you have to deceive your companions."
"YOU CHEATING BASTARD!" Yoshi said as he jumped towards Happy in order to kick him "NOBODY STEALS MY FOOD!"
Happy ran away as Yoshi tried to fetch him. If there was a thing nobody could mess up around, even his master, was food, which was sacred to Yoshi.
Happy sprouted his wings and he showed Yoshi his tongue, making fun of him, as he started flying away, but he forgot about Yoshi's extremely large tongue, which trapped him in a matter of seconds.
"DON'T EAT ME!" Happy asked "DON'T EAT ME, PLEASE!"
But Yoshi did, an almost immediately he pooped out an egg.
"Hey!" Happy screamed from the inside the egg "Leave me out of here! I don't like dark places!"
"Sorry, master." Yoshi said as he leaned on the egg "But this will teach you not to mess with my food."
"I'll scream!"
And so he did, and it didn't seem like he was ever going to stop. The moment in which Yoshi decided it was enough punishment came when Happy slowly scratched the edge of the egg, producing such a horrible sound that Yoshi had no other option than to break the egg and let him free.
Once free to breathe, Happy gave a deep breathe and he yawned.
"I'm tired…"
"Go to sleep, master" Yoshi said sighing as they walked back to the bonfire "I'll make the first guard."
"Aye, aye."
Happy fell asleep almost immediately. He was kind of jackass, but for some reason Yoshi seemed to start growing into him. Sure, he was his master and he still haven't taught him how to use his wings, but Yoshi knew why- or better said thought he knew why-, and it was because he still had a lot to learn. As he stared at the dark sky filled with stars a feeling of joy overcame him. He was just starting, but he was definitely learning how to take care of himself; and part of that was also thanks to Happy.
"Thank you, master Happy."
Of course, exhausted as he was, Happy didn't hear a word, but Yoshi didn't mind. He was happy. What he didn't know was that they weren't alone in the island, and that someone in fact, was staring at them.
He tried to keep awake, but he also fell asleep. Once he woke up things would turn a little bit difficult for them.
