Makoto: Okay, so where's Blu this time?
Guru-Guru: Probably doing stuff with T9 and Buggy. I've decided not to wait any longer. Without further ado, I present to you all, the next chapter of Inner Demons.
Nayuki: You're forgetting something.
Guru-Guru: Oh, right. To clear up any confusion, the forest (which the cave exit is in) is magical and more confusing than the Lost Woods are supposed to be. Should've explained that better in the last chapter...
Inner Demons
Chapter 6
Day Ten: 5:00 PM
Kimiko's POV
Outside the Forest
"Don't worry about it, Majora! It could've happened to anybody!" After her little trip in the forest, Majora was even angrier than before, and Takeru's attempts to cheer her up weren't doing much good. It did make for good entertainment, though, which is why I was walking backwards, watching.
"Yes, it could have happened to anybody, but why couldn't anybody have been sword-boy here?!" yelled Majora as she picked another dead leaf out of her hair.
"Not to interrupt your brooding or anything," I shouted back, "but if you're supposed to be guiding us to Holodrum, then why are you in the back?"
"Because I can be. Besides, here's the town we've been heading for." I started to turn around to see what she was talking about, when I walked right into a large wooden sign. "I guess I won't be the only one picking leaves out of my hair, eh Kimiko?"
"Ha ha. Very funny," I muttered as I picked myself up off the ground. "'Welcome to the Town of Kaigansen!'"
TK's POV
Kaigansen was a big coast town busier than Kakariko and Clock Town put together. In all of the shops, which were everywhere, you could always find at least five sailors. We weren't looking for anything in the shops, though. Our first job was to find a ship to take us to Holodrum.
We spent hours at the docks looking for a ship that was going where we needed to, but almost every ship we found was either going to Labrynna, or trying to find a way to get to the legendary Koholint Island, which probably didn't even exist. Only two ships were going to Holodrum, and neither of them were willing to take four travelers with them for any price. Disappointed, we walked deeper into town and found an inn to stay the night in before starting again the next day.
"This just sucks! We go through all this crap to get to this town, and now we can't even find a ship!" I shouted through my food. That inn had really good chicken. I don't know why, but I really like chicken...
"Quit whining, sword-boy. You're giving me a headache," moaned Majora, rubbing her temples.
"It's okay, TK. I'm sure we'll find a boat that'll take us, and if we can't, I can use a bit of mind control, although I'd rather not," said Kimiko, a little too loud for someone talking about powers like those. Before anyone could tell her to not talk so loud, a large, pirate-like sailor with a red bandana on his head stood up and walked over to us. That didn't surprise us. What surprised us was what he said.
"You need a boat to take you to Holodrum?"
"Yeah! Can you help us?" asked Majora instantly. I must have been whining too much that night...
"Sure can. I'm Gonzo. My ship is setting out for Holodrum tomorrow morning. I normally don't do this, but I'll take you with us. Free of charge, even."
"Thank you so much! When and where would you like us to meet you?" asked Kimiko.
"My ship is the one with cutlasses on the sail and a red and yellow dragon for the figurehead. Meet me on docks, outside the ship at eight AM tomorrow morning."
"We'll be there. Thanks again," said Takeru.
"It's no trouble. I don't know how, but I can tell that it's very important that you get where you're going. I feel like I can't leave you behind. Bah. I'm just babbling. Well, I'll let you get back to your meal. See you tomorrow." With that, Gonzo walked back to his table, and I went back to my chicken.
Makoto: That was pretty good.
Asako: -at the same time- That sucked.
Guru-Guru: You two are confusing me. This is a lot harder without Blu...
Guru-Guru: Probably doing stuff with T9 and Buggy. I've decided not to wait any longer. Without further ado, I present to you all, the next chapter of Inner Demons.
