Chapter 6

Spring Of The Mysterious Creature

Ai and Chris were now on the road again, on the lookout for more odd things, expeccially the evil man behind the kidnappings. That day they were looking for a spring, said to have a great creature of some sort that could grant any wish their hearts dissired. Their wish of course was to end the kidnappings done by the evil man who they would soon find out to be named Jonah.

"Are we there yet?" growled Chris angerly. "I'm Hungry and tired!" Ai stopped and looked at Chris. "Tired?" Ai laughed. "Robots dont get tired. They can loose battery energy, but thats bout it. And hungry? Erm.. You mean for Oil right, or do you forget who you are?" Ai laughed again and continued to walk on. Though Chris stopped and starred at Ai who was walking towards the horrizine now. His hand reached for his gun, but struggling, he cluctched his hand and threw the gun on the ground before he got to fire it then ran up to Ai. She studyed Chris while she was walking and could sense that he was nervous about something. "Chris, what's wrong?" Chris just shook his head and started running faster. "Nothing, but we better make it to the spring soon!" Ai smiled faintly and started running with Chris.

"You think this is it?" Ai made a disguisted look at a small deep puddle. Chris nodded than bent down and stuck his hand in the puddle. "Chris.. You really shouldnt be doing that! You're gonna get shocked!" Chris shook his head and took his hand out the puddle. The puddle started bubbling and a frog poppd out of the water. Ai screamed and backed away. "Oh no! Its another of those blow up thingys! And.. And.. Its a Kappa!!" Chris stared at the frog in amazment and turned his head and the kappa did the same. Chris started drooling. "Do you like cucumbers?" Ai grabbed Chris by his shirt again and pulled him away. "He's a kappa! Of course he likes cucumbers!! Haven't you heard the old japanese folk tale of kappas??!" Chris went back to the kappa. "No. I'm just very intellegent." AI rolled her eyes, then smirked. "Well, If your so smart, did you know that kappas eat humans unless they are given cucumbers and other food?" Chris put his foot in the puddle. "Please dont kill me Mr.Kappa Sir!!" The kappa made a cute face then knawed as his leg. "What's he doing.." said Chris. The kappa was trying to chew at his leg but the kappa had not yet grown teeth. Ai was now rolling on the ground laughing histariclly. The kappa left Chris alone and walked slowly over to Ai and started rolling on the ground over and over. Ai stoped on her side and looked at him. The kappa paused and looked at Ai, blinked severl times than spoke "Ok, Ok. Whats your wish?" Ai grinned. At the same moment Chris lowered his head to the ground.
