Hey! Thanks for the reviews! I'm trying to make this story a little
funnier, and hopefully I'll get some 002/RW fluff in here soon!
Disclaimer: I only own running wolf, her cool knife, Swift Deer, Sitting Wolf, Little River, Wise Man, and Chief Tatuyu! The tribes rightfully belong to Native Americans, because they are real tribes!
That night, as we rested in Kazumi's house, 006 made dinner. Ugh! Chinese food again? Is that the only thing he can cook?
"Why isn't Pocahontas here eating?" I asked.
"She said the food was too spicy," 003 said.
"So what's she gunna eat?"
"She's fishing at the moment," 008 said.
"Oh really?" I said while leaning back in my chair. "I wonder if she caught anything yet?"
Then, to answer my question, 005 came in with a basket full of large salmon and sturgeon.
"Those are huge!" 006 cried.
"Where are you going?" 009 demanded as 005 pulled a large salmon from the basket and started heading outside.
"Make fire to cook fish. Oh, Eagle Face have food on beak."
"IT'S CALLED A NOSE! NOT A BEAK!" I shouted. "CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"Stupid," she said while sticking her tongue out at me. I did the same.
"Laughing Man is stupid," she sighed before leaving the room.
"And I thought she's supposed to respect mental people," 004 said.
"I AM NOT MENTAL!"
"Sure act like it," 007 said.
I growled as I got up and left the table.
I looked out the window of the room I was staying in. I could see 005 cooking her fish.
"You're eating that thing whole?"
She turned around to see Dr. Kazumi.
"Yes. Very good without skin and insides," she said with a smile.
"Maybe you should try putting lemon on that. I'm sure it would taste better."
"Le-mon?"
"A fruit. Sour, but good on fish."
She searched through her basket and held up a yellow fruit.
"Lemon?"
"Yes. You cut it in half and squeeze the juice onto the meat."
She did that and took a bite. Then she made a disgusted face.
"Fish better without lemon."
Dr. Kazumi laughed as he sat down next to her.
"So you're Native American?"
"Yes. Last of tribe."
"What tribe do you come from?"
"Tsimshian."
"How did you become last of the Tsimshian?"
"There was great dispute between Flathead of plateau and Tsimshian of forest. Flathead wanted to live in forest but Chief Tatuyu would not allow it. Said forest was barely big enough for us. Flathead pillage our tribe's crops and ruin canoes. At the beginning, there was another chief, a war chief, Swift Deer, my father. He found a secret place to grow crops. When he die, Flatheads found secret crops and ruined them. Then we go to war. Everyone able to hold knife, fought, including me. But only me live."
"How old were you?"
"Sixteen summers have passed since my birth."
Wow, two years younger than me.
"How did your father die?"
"White man who look like 002 shot him and Sitting Wolf, my mother. Also shot me in leg."
Probably my granddad.
"Well, I must be getting to bed. We old men need plenty of rest," Dr. Kazumi said while getting up.
"Wise Man rarely slept. Stayed up and told me stories of ancestors."
"Well, that's Wise Man, not me."
Dr. Kazumi walked inside.
I watched 005 until the embers of the fire were low. She rebuilt the fire and leaned against a tree. Then I watched as she fell asleep and the fire went out again.
"The stupid girl's gunna freeze to death," I grumbled as I got up and walked downstairs. I grabbed a blanket and went outside. Then I covered her up. "And I actually thought she was smart," I mumbled before heading inside.
In the morning, 003 had cooked breakfast. Finally! A break from porridge!
"Laughing Man eat like ravenous dog," 005 said while grabbing another fish.
"Laughing Man so hungry, I can eat a horse!" I said through a mouthful of hash browns.
She got a horrified look.
"Not really. I'm just hungry!"
She said something in her language as she grabbed a plate, a pot, a ladle, a bowl, and a spoon.
"What are you going to do?" 006 asked. "003 made a delicious breakfast!"
"Doesn't have flavor!" 005 said cheerfully before going outside.
"Okay, I'm going to go see what she's doing," I said while getting up.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I walked outside.
"Making fish stew. Stupid wood! Won't light!" 005 said as she rubbed some sticks together.
I turned on one of my jets and aimed it at the pile of wood. It instantly caught fire.
"Thank you," she said before going to fill her pot in the river. Then she set it over the fire on a little spit type thing. "Eagle Face helpful.sometimes."
"Gee, thanks for the compliment."
Apparently she didn't hear my sarcasm, because she had quietly began singing to herself.
I pulled off my shirt and walked over to the river. I looked back at 005. She didn't even notice. I dove in.
I swam for about twenty minutes. I came back out to find 005 filling the bowl full of soup.
As I sat down near the fire to dry off, she handed me the bowl and the spoon.
"Aren't you gunna eat?"
"I ate while you swam."
I cautiously ate a spoonful. Then I wasn't so cautious.I set the spoon down and began drinking strait from the bowl. 005 laughed as I let out a contented burp.
"Now that was good," I admitted.
Then, I got the bowl and filled it. I got up and walked inside.
"What you doing?" 005 cried.
"006, taste this," I said, ignoring 005.
"What is it?"
"Fish stew. 005 made it."
He tasted it and smiled.
007 stole a spoonful and cried out, "That's good eating!"
"Can Running Wolf have breakfast back?" 005 asked.
"Only if you give me the recipe!" 006 said.
"Recipe?"
"How you made it."
"Water, fish, mashed corn, and bit of lemon juice."
006 handed her the bowl and she went back outside.
"I wonder what type of fish?" he mumbled.
"Tasted like sturgeon," 007 said.
"It was salmon," I said.
"Sturgeon."
"Salmon."
"Sturgeon."
"Salmon!"
"Salmon," 005 said while coming back in with the pot of stew. I grabbed a bowl and filled it up. "Eagle Face hungry!" she laughed. "I thought he was Laughing Man?" 009 asked. "Only when stupid!" 005 said as 003 tried the stew. I rolled my eyes behind my bowl. "Apparently 005 and 002 made a peace treaty!" 008 said. "How's that?" Dr. Gilmore asked. "He doesn't insult her as long as she cooks for him!" "Shut up," I said while hitting him over the head with the now empty bowl. "Ouch."
I know, kinda short, but the next few chapters are gunna be a little longer and have our favorite evil cyborg! Woohoo!
