The Yellow Snow Saga - Enter Leo-kun
The snow continued to fall as a single tire continued to spin on a mangled axel perturbing from a snow drift. Slowly but surely, small grunting noises proved that someone ha din fact survived Dusty's wild ride.
"..uh..hello?..is anyone there??..uh..my eyes...i can't see! I'M BLIND!!! OH WOE IS ME!!...I.oh...my hat just fell over my eyes. That's better. I'M BLIND!!! Oh wait...my hair is in the way..I'M STILL BLIND!!!! Oh wait.I have to open my eyes...there we go...I'M LOST!!!"
Sayuri trudged through the forest, having studied her impact crater, she concluded that she had in fact been thrown very far from the van. Only the visibility was so bad she could not tell where the others where.
"This shoes were not made for this punishment!" Suddenly she heard a a footfall crunch a swath of snow just meters away from here.
"hello??" All the martial arts training Sayuri learned over the years kicked in as she went into a defensive stance. Skimming the brush around her, she tried to determine where the sound had occurred. Just then another footfall could be heard, to her right. With a graceful leap she grabbed onto a low flying branch and ducked from sight. Here in the wilderness of Canada, you never know what might pop out in front of you. Possibly a bear waiting to snack on her flesh. "Well not today you son of a bitch, I'm gonna take you out before you take me!!"
A twig snapped only a few meters in front of her. Using all her strength she leapt from the branch and planted her foot firmly into something..soft. A cry of pain was soon heard, only it was human. Apparently Sayuri had not found the bear her hallucinated mind had imagined. She looked down at the still form at her feet and sighed. The cold was getting to her and she had knocked out the one person that could have helped her. Only she had no idea who it was. It wasn't one of the group. This guy was dressed in heavy winter gear.
She was startled when she saw the mysterious figure move and try to stand up. Thinking that it was partially her fault that he ended up on the ground, she opted to help him to his feet.
"sorry about that mister! I can get sorta paranoid sometimes..are you okay?.." "Jesus.did you have to be wearing high heels??? You nearly stabbed me through the neck!!"
Sayuri glanced down to her feet. "Well I did say these shoes where made for..never mind..look mister..ah mister??? What's you name?"
The man, having fully regained his composure tip his hat. "The names Leo, but my friends call me "a fat sweaty tard". But you may call me Leo. What are you doing out in this storm with hardly any clothes on! You'll catch your death out here!"
Sayuri clutched her arms around her body realizing that it was in fact, fucking cold out. "I was in a car accident, I'm looking for my friends. I got kinda lost"
Leo took out his flashlight and shined it in her face. "Ah you must be Sayuri! I found your friends, they are waiting for you back at my cabin! They told me to go look for you. Only I didn't think that your were quite so cute in person from the description they gave me."
Sayuri blushed at the comment but then realized that the redness in her cheeks was the frostbite settling in. "listen, can we please go! Its FREAKING FREEZING!!"
Leo scoffed. "What this? This is nothing. Come on then, the cabin is over here."
The pair made the journey to the safety of the cabin in one piece, although Sayuri was beginning to feel pretty shitty. Inside the cabin was all the others with a bandages on one part of their bodies or another. They smiled as Sayuri limped it, taking off her high hells...I mean heels. She then proceeded to chuck them in the damn fire.
Ryu was the first to get up and help Sayuri settle down on a cot. "Are you okay Sayuri?"
The answer he received was a hurricane sneeze right in the face, care of Sayuri. " I dink I god a code.."
Leo took of his coat and hung it on a peg, which soon broke off sending the coat to the floor. "Cheap piece of shit cabin, that's what I get for 100 bucks rent."
Ash stood up and walked to the fire to place another log and trying not to set himself on fire at the same time, a daunting task.
Leo fell back into a chair and cracked open a beer. "I swear..the weather might be horrible 300 days of the year, and its so cold your piss would freeze before you could finish writing your name..but DAMN! These Canadian bastards make a good beer."
At the sound of the word beer, Angie's ears perked right up and ran next to Leo like a faithful dog waiting to retieve its masters slippers. "Oi! Mind if I have a drinky?"
Leo guzzled down the honey brown liquid down in two seconds. "sorry Love, that was my last one."
"bullocks"
Dusty wiped the remaining few drops of water off his hat. "So what do we do now? We don't have a car, most of out luggage was destroyed..I really don't see how we can make it to that tournament in Vancouver."
Leo stood upright in his chair. "Hey you guys are going to that thing to? So am I! I'm just waiting for my ride, I'm just staying here momentarily. Say do you guys need a lift? My friend is going to lend me his Winnebago, its huge we could all easily fit in there."
There was a pause of stunned silence, then a whoop of joy, then the sound of Sayuri vomiting all over the fire....lets just say it made for an interesting smell.
*** To be continued at some point in time...
Authors notes: Sorry I haven't written anything in like ever but a good friend of mine dead a few weeks ago and it was such a stunner that I haven't been able to write a damn thing since his death. But now I think I'm am close to accepting his death and I will try to move on. A lot of people have been asking about between a rock and a hard place and I thank you for your interest. Life goes on, and the story will go on. I have made no plans to ever stop writing. But I just needed time to come to terms with some things. Thanks, chapter 21 of Between a Rock and a Hard place will be out like this Saturday.
Thanks again. And the role of Leo was played by none other then FusionBlaster. I told you I would sneak you in there somehow buddy.
