Chapter 20: Home
"India?" Kana questioned she was sitting on the couch with the other skeletons, you nodded "you spoke Hindi...India is the most logical place where you came from" you said, Red was a little nervous "I don't think we could teleport that far" he said you only sighed "well we do have enough money to rent a cheap boat ride there" you said, Kana got excited "thank you so much..." she said seeming quite happy to be going home she rushed out the door.
Red huffed "we are not doing this..." he whispered angrily, you frowned "but Master Red we made a promise to Kana to return her home...we all knew this day would be coming" you replied, Orange only nodded "I'm sorry Red...but look at how happy Kana is...she misses her home, her friend" he said this calmed Red as he sighed "so...this is it" he whispered as the others nodded.
A few weeks later...
Kana was super excited wearing her jacket she saw the land coming into view, so far nothing looked or smelled familiar then again it was still far away "w-what if she doesn't recognise me?" she asked Orange, he gave a laugh "it's only been a few months Kana...you've not changed that much" he answered making Kana giggle, "what if...she didn't miss me?" she asked a frown on her face Orange sighed "I bet she missed you just as much as you missed her" he replied simply.
Kana gave a smile as they soon arrived, it was strange to see monsters so far with a few people whispering, Kana had her ears covered and her tail hidden from view she looked around trying to pick up a scent, anything that was familiar, Red stayed close by her side giving people a few glares when they glanced.
Soon Kana caught something she quickly ran forward finding a small river leading into the jungle, it was a long shot but she was sure of the scent acting on impulse she ran in, quickly the skeletons and you followed.
Kana ran and ran for what seemed like miles, it was hard to keep up as the terrain wasn't easy on your shoes, you noticed Kana stopped in front of a moss covered building a huge smile on her face "oh I missed you so much...home sweet home" Kana said happily, the skeletons were shocked, the building didn't look stable yet she lived in there for eighteen years of her life, Red came up to her "THIS is your home?" he asked shocked.
Kana nodded "yes...but even better I know where Rose is" she said starting to run off only to be stopped by Red's blue attack "can we...walk?" he asked pointing to you, still huffing from having to keep up Kana gave a blush "ah sorry...I'm just so excited...I'm going to see Rose again" she said a smile on her face, she took off the jacket leaving it in her home, for now she didn't need it.
"Follow me" Kana said leading the group deeper into the jungle "s-so is it safe?" you asked, Kana gave a laugh "nope and that's the best part" she replied "there are snakes, tigers, panthers, crocs...so many dangers...and being with me isn't any safety" she added, this made you frown "great" you replied "don't worry...they won't attack a group, even with me here" Kana replied.
Red was confused "what do you mean?" he asked "well I'm not exactly well liked by both humans and animals, I get hunted down quite a lot in the jungle it's survival" Kana replied reminding Red of his universe with it's kill or be killed mentality, "so where is your friend Rose?" Orange asked "well her scent was around my home, it was old though so I'm guessing when I vanished she began her search, my home would be the first place she checked, if she didn't find me well then she would wait for me at my second home" Kana replied.
Orange blinked "second home?" he asked "yeah...I have a second home, I...use it when I don't want to be found" Kana replied simply Red just frowned he couldn't believe he'd have to say goodbye to Kana, he should have known not to get attached he stuck quite close to Kana "how deep are we going? you asked curiously, Kana gave a little laugh "we got a ways to go, don't worry your safe...well as safe as you can be" she replied.
Soon the group reached some old ruins "here we are..." she whispered seeming nervous to enter, her Rose was in there she knew it, she could smell her scent Orange just gave her a little push urging her to go in "we will be right out here" he whispered making Kana a little more confident, she carefully entered the ruins.
Rose heard footsteps she looked toward the entrance and her eyes widened, "Kana?" she said tears falling from her eyes Kana ran toward her friend as the two embraced in a hug, "I was so worried for you...my little Kana...where have you been?" she asked Kana still having tears running down her face could only laugh "far away, it took a long time to figure out where this place was, I had to take a boat here" she replied.
Rose sighed "on your own?" she asked, Kana remembering her friends outside gave a small smile shaking her head "wait here" she said rushing outside "come on in, she would love to meet you" Kana told the group, Orange shook his head "no Kana...this is where...we part ways" he replied.
Kana's heart sank...in her happiness she had forgotten, she would have to leave the skeletons "I would still like you to meet her, I'm sure she would love to thank you for...taking care of me" she said, Blue looked to Orange sadly "please brother just for a little while" he begged, Orange couldn't refuse his brother "okay...for a little while" he said, Red gave a forced smile.
Kana led the group inside, Rose was quite shocked she had never seen such creatures "Rose...these are my friends" Kana introduced each skeleton and you to Rose, she stared as she slowly came toward the group "t-thank you...for taking care of my girl" she said giving Kana a pet on the head, "it was no problem" Orange replied, Rose was a sight to behold being half snake she was quite beautiful compared to Kana's ragged look.
Blue looked around the huge ruins "wowie, Kana this place is huge" he said Kana gave a smile "well of course, this place was the home of my race before they all died off" she replied walking over to Blue, Papyrus quickly followed as Kana showed Blue and Papyrus around, Rose smiled at the others "I thank you so much, for taking care of my girl" she said, Sans decided to take over talking "it was no problem, we made a promise" he replied.
Rose sighed "well...I do hope you will leave soon, I mean I don't want to be rude...but the longer this goes on, the longer Kana will not want you to leave" she said, this only made Red angry "what if Kana wants to stay with us?" he asked causing a glare from Sans and Orange, Rose had to hold back a laugh "stay with you pfft...she belongs in the jungle, this is her home and I am her family...not you" she said almost threateningly.
Rose quickly left the ruins not wanting to stick around after her threat, she knew better than to mess about with monsters, Orange sighed "she is right...the longer we stay, the more Kana will not want us to go, we need to do this quickly...so it's less painful" he said, Red could only grumble angrily as he stomped off to the side to pout.
Orange approached Kana, Blue and Papyrus slowly "so to this day the human and Queen are still fighting" Kana said seeming to finish a story that Orange missed "WOWIE" Papyrus said, Blue noticed his brother "bro you just missed a great story" he said, Orange smiled "oh really...maybe you can tell me about it later bro, but I think it's time we all head off home" he said.
Kana frowned as Blue pouted "aw but bro can't we stay a little longer?" he asked, Kana forced a smile "it's okay you guys go home, a-afterall you promised to bring me home..." she said hiding the sadness that only Orange, Red and Sans could really see.
Blue frowned "d-don't forget us Kana promise?" he asked, "I won't forget any of you, all of you, everything that's happened...I can't forget it" Kana answered, to be honest you were going to miss Kana, everyone was...but the jungle was her home, Rose her family...she belonged here.
Everyone started leaving back to the village and the boat, Kana watched them leave only when she was sure they were far gone does she allow herself to break into tears.
She cried and cried into the night her ears twitched at a familiar buzzing sound, quickly standing up she followed the noise.
She didn't see the strings in time before her vision blacked out.
MUHAHAHA NOT THE END!
Right Rose isn't getting a descriptive character thing cause she is not important.
Something new will be happening next chapter ^^
