Part 3 – Mitsukake's Turn!

Nuriko decided it wasn't wise to get people thinking he actually had a duck to give them. Or even one to sell. You didn't see ducks everyday in Konan like you might in a place like where Miaka lived.

"I'm just keeping it to the game. I don't know what I'll do if they actually expect a duck, though. Chiriko did, but he's not as dangerous; if I get Tasuki or someone mad, I could definitely be in trouble. But the great, powerful Nuriko won't back down from a challenge! Hahahaha!!"

~ After walking a while with no glimpse of anything moving in all of the surroundings ~

Nuriko: Oh, Suzaku Seishi? (He called for them as if he were calling Tama-neko in for his dinner) Where are you? I have a question to ask you!

Voice from behind him: What kind of question?

Nuriko was surprised that there was someone around him, but realized instantly that it was Mitsukake because of the depth of the voice.

Nuriko: (thinking to himself) 'Oh well, he's better than no one, and he asked for it.' Would you like to buy a duck??

Mitsukake: (waiting for more) …Is that your question?

Nuriko: It sure is!

Mitsukake: …Oh.

Nuriko: (waiting patiently - for now -) Well…

Mitukake: No. No thanks.

Nuriko: Oh, (disappointed) OK then.

Mitsukake: Ja. Good luck. (he went on his merry way)

Nuriko: I didn't think he'd be much fun. But I should've asked him if he knew where everyone else was! Darn it! Oh well, who am I going to find next? I've got to think of a better way to ask them – wait, there isn't any other way! (sarcastically) What am I going to say, 'Hona, ya wanna duck? They don't cost anything! Just your time!'

S: Yes, there's more. I won't be satisfied until everyone is tortured, and I will try to get these out ASAP. Would you be so kind as to give me a review?
