Wow, I haven't updated for ages. Partly because I've had loads of school
work but mostly 'cos I'm lazy. :p And wish me Happy Birthday. Yes folks I
was a whole year older on Monday. Yeah, lots of prezzies. Lol. Well first
thanks to all those who reviewed my story. And I'll shut up now and here's
the rest of the story.
It was a hot but damp day because it had rained hevily the night before. Aneko had dragged me down to the edge of the forest to watch out for the wolves while she gathered firewood. Well that's what I was supposed to be doing but I was actually trying to draw pictures in the dirt when I noticed a lot of noise over in iron town. Glancing up I saw the band of oxen winding its' way along the pass. It was noticeably smaller than when it had left.
"Aneko!" I called out "They're back- Lady Eboshi and the men.and rice!"
My sister jumped up and dumped a bundle of wood in my arms. Then the two of us ran back to town trailing twigs behind us. We reached the huge wooden gates just as the last oxen were wondering in.
Aneko vanished in the crowd somewhere as I hurried to keep up with her and not drop the wood. I made my way back to hour house to find Aneko already building a fire. I dumped my heavy load next to her with a sigh of relief, expecting to go and play with my friend. But just as I was about to go Aneko called after me.
"Oh no you don't Aiko. You can go down to the square and get us some rice."
"Oh but why?" I moaned but Aneko was insistent. Finally I agreed.
I stomped down to the square mumbling about axes and sisters' being a great combination. There was a huge crowd. I got there to hear one of the men serving say
"They had to fight off wolves to get this you know."
A large woman at the front shouted
"Just dish it out!"
At last I got my rice. I was heading back when I heard shouts.
"Koroku's (sp?) alive! He's come back from the dead!"
Confused I followed the people down to the docks. Koroku was being pulled out along with a man I didn't know. But everyone was staring at the person who had brought them back. A young man dressed all in blue and a red elk.
Very odd....
Ooooh. I wonder who that is. Lol. Ummm, not much more to say. R&R
Aiko: Little love because she's only little! Aneko: Older sister 'cos she's Aikos' big sister. Leiko: Arrogant because she is. Marise: Infinite, endless- a little joke! Reizo: Cool, calm because he is. Kumiko: Companion child because she is Aikos' friend.
I got all the names and their meanings from 20'000-names.com so if they are wrong. tough. Lol
