After a little over a month, I'm finally posting a new chapter despite saying I would do so before I went back to school. My apologies. Further explanation will be on the bottom of the page. Please enjoy!

Chapter 5

Jack

"My head...it hurts so much." Jack groaned while rubbing the back of his head. The black-haired teen vision was blurry. Fortunately, this did not last long. Once his vision cleared up, the boy slowly got up to his feet and pressed forward with his adventure. His travel was short-lived no more than a few steps for the human found his head slammed against something. Jack shook off the pain and pressed his hands all over the invisible wall. He then moved his hands frantically in hopes to find some way out, but no prevail. While the charcoal haired teen didn't find a way out, he found something interesting to say the least. Looking up without straining his neck, a corkscrew bigger than any building Jack had ever seen, sitting idly on top minding its own business.

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Now I'm inside some jar?!" Jack exclaimed. Just when things could go down a notch, something always has to disrupt it. The human sat back down where he first woke up and slammed his head gently onto the glass behind him and closed his eyes. "Can this get any worse?"

When Jack opened his eyes, his looked up paralyzed in fear. He recognized the abundant flow of hair; his captor. Yet the farmer found it difficult to read the situation when his insight was limited to the strands of hair and a small crack of light to give off this miniscule info. The cork screw above him made a loud pop, exposing a large hole with better lighting. Next thing he know, Jack felt his world literally turning upside down, tumbling around until he landed near the opening of the jar, which the opening was now next to his feet. Thanks to its smooth surface, the farmer was unable to prevent himself from sliding down.

"Ahh!" The charcoal haired farmer screamed. 'I spoke too soon!'

Inma

As eager Inma was to befriend her tiny specimen, she knew just how tired he must have been for he had been sleeping for hours. Instead, she took her mind off with her bed. Not much needed to be done other than straighten the sheets. She picked up a stuffed bunny and a princess doll and placed them onto a shelf with a handful of other toys. Only now had the blonde giantess noticed her trail of footprints caked in dirt. With that in mind, she decided to head to her bathtub and washed the filth off her soles. Inma thought it was unlikely she would ever place the human on the ground and yet, the thought of her tiny human having to catch a whiff of her feet at their worst, her face burned with embarrassment.

This took about five minutes to wash and dry thoroughly and once she felt better about herself, Inma decided to do one more thing. She found a broom next to her drawer and swept till her trail was dirt free. The giantess looked around and was satisfied with the results. she had heard sounds coming from the jar. The blonde child went up to her table and saw her captive still sleeping. Her impulses got the best of her, so when she made it back to the table, she immediately picked up the jar and flipped it upside down and out popped the boy.

She didn't understand why the boy was staring at her, but Inma took a glance before immediately she shut her eyes and flustered over how cute the human was. The young giantess felt movement on her palm so she opened her eyes to check what was going on. The blonde child smiled when she saw the boy making himself comfortable on her palm.

Jack

The young farmer covered his face from light using his hand and stood up. He looked up and was dumbfounded. 'Wait a sec. This is the face I have been running from this whole time?!'

Not a word was exchanged between Jack and his captor and that was fine with him. He couldn't get over the sight of her. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life. He found himself unable to draw his attention away from her eyes. Her irises were the size of his head, but to Jack, he was mesmerized how the color resembled an ocean of chocolate. Not wanting to lose himself in his captor's sweet and gentle orbs, Jack decided to take a step back and sit down and then observe other features of the giantess's face. He positioned himself crisscross. Her ears were by far the most difficult since her hair swallowed them, but if he had to judge based off of a glimpse, he'd say they were small for her, but could see himself fitting inside her earhole just fine. Not that he'd get around to doing that any time soon.

Jack then put his focused to the girl's nose, which looked small even for her size. It was hard to tell from his angle when her nose was about as a round as a button. No matter, the young farmer still found it cute. The last feature he wanted to focus was her skin. The giantess's skin was as white as a cloud and pleasantly smooth to the touch.

It was then the charcoal-haired teen noticed her expression was not at all he had anticipated; aggressive, handsy, or loud. He felt relieved this giant was friendly and respectful towards him. He picked up her timid complexion through her cheeks, where the red covered so much of her face, it was like the of clouds converted to a lake of lava. To ease the tension, Jack decided to sit back and put on a brave face.

Inma

Before the giantess gave in to her bashfulness, she knew she had to say something to her tiny captive. Inma could see the boy was totally putting on an act to come off as brave, but at least he was doing something. She cleared her mind and took a deep breath. She exhaled deeply and took the initiative to start up small talk.

"HI, LITTLE GUY!" Inma spoke in her normal voice. It was after her comment when she realized the power of her voice for the tiny human found himself blown away, at the mercy of her fingertip. She was scared but acted quickly by flexing her ring finger to the bottom for his feet to act like a stool. Once she was sure the boy found his balanced, Inma flexed up with her ring finger first and flung him back to her palm with the help of her middle finger.

"I am so sorry. Are you okay?" She asked, softening her voice. The giantess did not receive a verbal response but a signal through a 'thumbs up' sign. Inma had to squint really close into to see her human's phalange, but understood the gesture.

"You had me worried there, little man" Inma sighed with relief.

Running out of ideas to say next, Inma stared fidgeting with her free hand. Just then she had an idea. "Wow, talk about knocking your socks off huh?" She laughed at her own joke but cut it short when her captive did not respond.

"Oh, I just realized I haven't even told you who I am. My name is Inma. What's yours?" She asked tenderly.

Jack

Up until now, the young farmer had been deafened thanks to the giantess's booming voice. He was so focused on her looks, he completely overlooked just how force his captor held by her voice alone. Sure, he remembered giving Inma a 'thumbs up' signal, but his memory got fuzzy as to why he did so. His only explanation was so the blonde giantess would stop talking. 'Yeah, that would make sense since she hasn't said anything else' He nodded to himself.

As if fate had perfect timing, Jack's ears popped and the young farmer was ever so grateful to hear the sound once more. The farmer sat up, confused as to what he was supposed to do. A moment passed and the young giantess decided to repeat herself.

"I said, my name is Inma. What about yours?" She said quietly, which pleased Jack to no end.

Jack said his name, though it must have fallen short because the giantess brought her ear close to his head. He flinched, but gave a response anyways. "I am Jack."

Satisfied with his answer, Inma pulled her ear away and gave him a full view of her face once again. "Hmm, Jack." The teen saw that her face became serious all of sudden. He was worried if there was anything wrong with his reply. In a split second, he saw her smiling.

"Aww, what a cute name for a little cutie such as yourself" She squealed. Jack was unsure whether to feel uncomfortable with such a degrading nickname or having Inma's finger rubbing his face.

Afterwards, Inma pulled her finger away and focused not necessarily to Jack but towards his clothes.

"These are such tiny clothes!" She said as she ever so lightly lifted Jack's arms up. "And I love the color red. Where did you get them?"

"Well, I was able to gather as much money needed for this set. The tailor back in my world stops by at every household every odd month. He looked up and saw the giantess raise her eyebrows, confused as to what she had just heard. "Yeah, he's just weird that way" He chuckled. Jack was delighted to hear Inma laugh at his comment.

"Anyhoo, He came by to my place a year ago and it stood out to me. I don't know why, but it did and it was either this or a purple suit. So, I held my head high and went for the manlier color." Jack finished with craning his head up and crossing his arms. His smile at the end was enough for Inma to not take his gesture too seriously.

"I think you would look great in purple." The blonde giantess declared.

"That's what you got out of this?" The charcoal hair teen said with confusion in his tone.

"Well, what was I supposed to take out of this?" The blond captor retorted.

Now that he thought about it, Jack left out why it took him so long to collect the money. "Well, as a farmer, you gotta pull up your bootstraps and get to work." The farmer announced proudly.

Instead, Jack saw Inma roll her eyes and stepped back when she let out a groan. "Ugh, you sound like my dad."

"But it's true" Jack whined, causing the blond child to laugh.

"I know. I'm just messing with you." Inma teased him by playing with his hair.

Just when he thought things were going smooth, the farmer's stomach growled for attention, demanding to be fed right here and now. While Jack was truly hungry and was dying to eat anything, he knew this would give his captor more ammo to tease him.

"Hehe, looks like somebody's hungry." She poked him on the belly and giggled.

"I was trying to stay alive from being crushed or eaten all day long" Jack said putting his hands on his belly.

"All day?" Inma looked outside from her window and her tiny man was right; since her time back from shopping, the sun was ready to set. Just then she got an idea. "I'll be right back."

The young giantess kneeled down to place Jack on top of her table. "Stay right where you are, please?" Jack was about to dismiss her until he saw fear in her eyes, how at any moment, she could be on the verge of crying.

"Uh, yeah. You have my word" Jack replied cautiously. In return, his captor smiled

"Thank you." With that, she turned to the door and slammed it in the midst of her rush.

"Hmm, I wonder why she was worried about me leaving? It's not like I can go anywhere." Jack said out loud. He shrugged it off and leaned back on the jar.

Inma

"I knew papa would never throw out food, especially his delicious stew." Inma whispered out of fear her father would wake up from his nap. She knew better than anyone to never wake him up from his siesta. She got up the stairs tiptoeing but caught a whiff of her food. Her little tummy rumbled in response of the scrumptious scent. As embarrassed as she was to have her tummy growl, Inma was thankful this was done not a moment earlier. But more than anything, she was dying to give Jack a big hug. She doubted he would mind, but she knew deep down it could end up making her little man uncomfortable around her, which was the last thing she wanted.

She walked to her table and placed the food on top. She spotted Jack on the side of jar and cleared her throat. "Ahem!" She cleared her throat and looked down at him. He responded.

Inma sat down in her chair, in which doing so, she would be closer to Jack's level. That way, he didn't have to keep hold of his head in an upward position much longer. 'Poor little guy' She thought to herself. The young giantess knew perfectly well how one's neck can be strained. After all, her father was significantly taller than herself, making any conversation difficult when she struggled to look him in the eye and keep up with the conversation.

Before she could help herself, she was taught to invite her guests for a bite first. She scooped a piece of meat and potatoes along with a portion of white rice. With it, Inma brought the spoon towards Jack.

"Eat as much as you want. There's more where that came from." The blond child said looked down at the table.

"Thank you" Jack took a bite of the meat first and sigh happily. The meat being cooked at medium rare, allowing the teen to enjoy the crisp on the outside and the tenderness on the inside. He hadn't eaten a meal since the morning but at that moment, it felt like a century.

"Wow, this is really good" Jack exclaimed.

Inma simply sat still and observed the human to her amusement. She wanted to feel content watching him eat meat bigger than half his body, but she was dying to ask him a bunch of questions. There was so much she wanted to know about her new friend's life.

"Jack" Inma asked politely.

"Yeah?" Jack replied back.

"Tell me more about yourself." She felt bad after saying this for to her, it felt as though she was giving him a command.

Jack read her nervousness on her face, nodded, and responded calmly. "All right. What is it you would like to know more of?"

"Um…" Inma struggled to put to decide what to ask first. Not visible to either children, the young giantess started fidgeting with her feet by rubbing one foot above the other. "Could you tell me more about your adventure today. And why you tried to run away from me?" The blond child stated, only to cover her mouth for the second half of her request.

'I see she is not going to let go of that' Jack thought with concern. He turned his attention towards the 60-foot girl and prepared his answer. "It all started a few days ago when I got a hold of some magic beans…"

When it comes to why I haven't made a post, there are a few reasons as to why:

1) I started writing this chapter as soon as I posted chapter 3. I was in the middle of progress when my side started to hurt. A lot. I tried to ignore it, but it become unbearable and I was forced to call it quits. I found out later that I am lactose intolerant. It's not extreme where I can never have milk again, lets just say I went from drinking gallons of milk to two cups max. Now that I know what the problem is, I better watch my diet.

2) I wanted to spend time with my friends. They were on their final weekend at the time and since I didn't go out much this summer, I wanted to go out and enjoy life. I love spending my days indoors, but every now and then, you just gotta go out and get some fresh air, you know?

3) Kingdom Hearts took over my life.

I hope this chapter was worth the wait. Any feedback is appreciated and I am working on the next chapter as we speak. With school in session, It may a bit of time. Thank you for understanding and I'll see you on the next update.
