Chapter 7 - The Call
Master Kuja didn't seem very happy this morning, kupo. In fact, I think I even saw him crying! I've never seen a man like Master Kuja cry before. Something bad must have happened today. I didn't want disturb him, kupo, but Garland called and he looked angry again. So I had no choice but to tell my Master, kupo.
"M-master Kuja? Kupokupo. Garland has called again, Master."
He didn't say anything for a while. I was kinda scared because I thought he might be angry at me, kupo! But then he looked at me. He looked horrible, kupo! His eyes were all icky and red and he had snot coming out of his nose. Gross!
"What."
"M-m-m-mas-master K-k-kuja... G-garland has c-called aga-gain..... kupo."
"Shit..."
And then he took his blanket and he blew his nose on it! Yuck!!! Ku-pheh!!! Master Kuja was being really gross that morning, kupo. And then he wiped the rest of the snot on his sleeves! ICK!
"Master Kuja... that is really gross, kupo!"
"Did I ask for YOUR evaluation on my manners, moogle?"
"N-no Master..."
"Then SHUT the---"
"Kuja..."
Somehow Hilda had found Master Kuja's bedroom, kupo!!! Now I was really really scared, but another part of me was smiling, because Master Kuja once said to me that for every woman that came into his bedroom, he'd have 5 more waiting for him in heaven, kupo. He must have a lot of women waiting in heaven for him! I don't know why he brings them in there though, kupo. If I had lots of girl moogles step into my bedroom and leave, even if they didn't like me, would that mean I would have lots of girl moogles waiting in heaven for me? Kupoooooo! But why just his bedroom? Why not the kitchen? Kupo... I don't understand. It must be some genome thing.
I looked at Master Kuja and his face was really red. I knew it! He must like her, kupo. I know that whenever my pom-pom turns red, that means I like someone. But then again, my pom-pom is always red, kupo. I guess I like lots of stuff, hehe.
Master Kuja gave me a really weird look and told me to get out, so I went back to my cubby hole, kupo. And then I remembered! Garland still wanted to talk to Kuja... uh oh.
"Uh-um... Master Garland?"
"What? Where is Kuja?"
"Well um... Master Kuja and Hil-- err, a woman are kinda busy right now, kupo."
"Ooooooooooooooh... I see."
"Yeah, they kicked me out the room, kupo."
For some strange reason, Master Garland was laughing about something. I don't know what was so funny, because I was really serious, kupo.
"Master Garland, why are you laughing?"
"Oh, nothing. I'll call back in nine months or so." By this time, he looked like he was gonna die he was laughing so hard. His face was really red and he was even crying from laughter, kupo. Why was he gonna call back in nine months? Why not 10 or two or 27? Kupopo... these genomes are really weird.
"Well, moogle, when they are... ahem, *finished*, remind Kuja that it takes a village..."
"Ok, I will, Master Garland. Kupo (what does he mean by a village?)."
"One more thing..."
Uh oh. I had a bad feeling about this, kupo. My tummy felt like there was an oglop crawling inside.
"What was the name of that... woman?"
"She told me to call her Hilda, kupo."
"Hilda... hmmm... thank you, moogle. I'll be going now."
I wonder why he wanted to know her name? Oh well. I guess it probably wouldn't be too bad if Master Garland knew. Would it? Kupo...

"Kuja..."
Alexander give me strength - now what am I supposed to do? I didn't know that he'd be crying. Fenrirshivamadeenifritatomosohgodshelpme...
"...yeah?"
"...I uh...um..."
"The journal thing."
"Yes... I just wanted to say that... well, I was wondering..."
"..."
"..."
"......"
"......when are you going to kiss me?"
I don't know what had come over me, but fortunately for my sake, he obliged. Gods, that man can kiss. For a moment I almost felt like I was in...no. Those thoughts will only pain me in the end. I'll do what I must to get that spell, with half a heart. My thoughts were interupted by his voice, though.
"Canary, tell me... why did you come here? What attracted you to the desert?"
There wasn't any other choice but to lie, was there?
"Something drew me here. Almost like a magical force. I sensed something as I flew over the desert and so I decided to come down. But I flew too fast, and, well, you saw the result."
"Wow... I thought you'd forgotten me. I guess it was just another one of your tricks, you wiley woman you. Kheheheh."
This isn't going to be so easy as I thought.
