(A/N: Here is a pic of Kaipo! It's a photo manipulated thing...it's a screengrab i got from the movie... http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/rocket_fusion/kaipo.JPG
Can you see the resemblance? lol
To Daytime11:05am: Thank you! ^_^ I do an advanced search on babynames.com and look up meanings...and I go to this site called aloha friends or something and, like how I found Kolie's name, which Kolie is "Dolly" in Hawaiian. Galena means "healer." I look up meanings for the character's persona and BAM, I got a name lol.
To everyone else: Thank you for the reviews! ^_^ *hugs*)
Kolie and Kaipo followed Galena through the dark tunnel and down into her den. Galena sat the lamp on a small, wooden table and motioned for Kaipo to sit down. Kaipo did so, and so did Kolie.
Galena looked over a shelf, which seemed to be loaded down with potions, ointments, and other healing substances.
"I can do the healing myself, but to make sure it doesn't come back, which sometimes it can do that, I will put some ointment made from palm bark and green tea leaves on the wound."
Galena selected the ointment she was to use and removed the lid from the small jar. The smell of palm bark and green tea filled the small underground room. She dipped her fingers into the jar of ointment, but decided to warn Kaipo of the pain before she did.
"It will sting a little at first, but then the pain will be soothed away and a cool, tingling sensation will be thereafter."
Galena spread the green-gray ointment on the wound, and Kaipo grunted and cringed in pain.
"Errrh...it really burns..." Kaipo clenched his fists, then dug his claws into the dirt, having the ultimate desire to escape the pain.
Kolie put her paw on his shoulder then grasped his hand and smiled.
"This is going to make you better; it won't hurt much longer."
Kaipo managed to produce a weak smile, and tried hard to ignore the intense, searing burn of the ointment.
Then, as quickly as it had begun, it quit burning and began to tingle coolly. Kaipo let out a sigh of relief.
Galena placed her paw upon the wound and concentrated hard.
After a few seconds, the tingling sensation ceased and Galena removed her paw from Kaipo's arm.
"There, it should hold up, since I put the ointment on it."
Kaipo smiled and thanked Galena.
Kolie hugged Galena and thanked her as well, then she and Kaipo left the damp den and returned to the beach from which they had came.
***
"So, what are we going to do now? We can't live on the beach our whole lives," Kolie said over the loud, crashing waves.
Kaipo thought for a minute.
"We can stay here one more night, then I have an idea where we can go tomorrow."
"Okay." Kolie leaned back in the sand, putting her arms behind her and leaning on them. "It's kinda frigid out here tonight." She shivered and leant up again to wrap her arms around herself.
"Yeah..." Kaipo squirmed a bit closer to Kolie, just close enough to feel the warmth radiating from her body. He was dying to put his arms around her, but he didn't know how she would react. He sighed, feeling befuddled.
Kolie was thinking things of her own. iI don't know what to say...I feel so stupid! Why is it so hard to make conversation with him?/I
Kolie decided on a wonderful conversation piece, after sitting in a few moments of silence.
"So, what are your powers? I mean, you iare/I an experiment."
"Well, I since I wasn't created in a lab, I was never told directly what powers I had, so I've been kind of having to figure them out on my own."
"Wow, that's fascinating. So you were born? Like, you know, the "old fashioned" way?" Kolie gazed at Kaipo in pure, wide-eyed wonder.
"Yes, yes I was," Kaipo seemed to be amused at Kolie's child-like state. "Weren't you born, too?"
Kolie bit her bottom lip.
"Not exactly. I was created in a lab. Jumba combined my parents genetics and tweaked them a little, and I came out of the machine as a dehydrated pod. Lilo added water to me and I hydrated, and poof, there I was," Kolie explained.
"Now ithat's/I fascinating!" Kaipo seemed to be more amazed by Kolie's way of birth than she was with his. "Now, who is Lilo?"
Kolie smiled as she thought of Lilo; she was the only one Kolie missed at the moment.
"Sweet Lilo...she's the little girl I live with. She found my dad and mom. I miss her, but I can never go back..." Kolie could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
Kaipo didn't know what to say. Somehow, his natural reactions took over his physical being. He leaned over and wrapped his arms around Kolie.
"I...I'm sorry...it's my fault that you ran away..." He gave her a slight embrace.
Kolie sighed and leaned into him, enjoying the feel of warmth emitting from his body and onto hers. She knew, now, why his mother had chosen the name "Kaipo," meaning "sweetheart" for him; he was truly a sweetheart, which was the exact reason why she was falling in love with him.
"It's not your fault," Kolie alleged, "it's mine. You didn't make me run away. It was my decision. Besides, I'm glad I did."
Kaipo cradled her closer to him, leaning his head on hers. He was completely tongue-tied. He wanted to sit on the shore of the Pacific, right where he and Kolie were, forever. He never wanted to go back to his home with his father and fish-headed Gantu. Kaipo had no idea how he could fall in love so quickly with someone he had just met a couple of days ago.
"I feel like I've known you forever, Kolie. It's like we have some sort of metaphysical or spiritualistic connection."
"Mmm hmm..." Kolie leant against his chest and breathed in unison with him. It sounded like the beats of their hearts were pounding together in harmony.
Kaipo let his firm but gentle embrace on Kolie loosen a bit, so that he could look down upon her.
Her face was partially lit by the luminescence of the moon. The lunar glow reflected in her eyes, making them seem abysmal and captivating, as if he could stare into them forever.
"Kolie, I..." Kaipo began to say, but stopped abruptly, running out of words.
Kolie smiled up at him, in an understanding way. She leaned forward to kiss him into complete and utter silence.
Kaipo was awestruck. As soon as the bewilderment faded, he coiled his arms around Kolie again, intending to hold her through the night.
"I love you, Kolie."
"I love you, too, Kaipo."
Can you see the resemblance? lol
