Chapter 10: Hunger killed the Keyblade master
Narrator: Fira
Here we were Costa De So, YEA! Sun's shining yea nothing can ruin this day. Besides an empty tummy… I was sooooooooooooooo hungry. After having that battle with that dude in black on the pirate ship. I've been getting nothing but stomach cramps all day… CRAP!
I walked the streets of Costa De So looking at all of the food and concession stands I couldn't have any of it either. I had spent all of my Gil Munny on our Inn keys. I walked over to a picnic table and sat down moping.
" ROOAOAAAARRRRRAAAAWWWW" My stomach growled like a wild fiend. " I know little buddy I know…" I said rubbing my stomach. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to see it was Utada dressed in a beautiful bikini she looked great.
" You like?" She asked bending down and smiling trying to meet my eyes.
" Yea" I said.
" I'm glad" She smiled. " Well I'm going over to the beach you should come out too, Avalon, Raithu, Kiako and Kuro are down there" She said.
" Yea they are all down there with full stomachs" I said under my breath.
" What was that?" Utada asked.
" Nothing go down their and have a good time…" I said forcing her down the steps. She looked up at me then shrugged and ran over to join the others. Kiako and Kuro were burying Avalon in the dirt, Raithu was sleeping in a beach chair and Utada just started to build a sand castle.
" Hey don't cover my face Kuro!" Avalon shouted.
" Shut up" Kuro said dropping a pale full of sand on his head covering it completely.
I walked back to the picnic table and sat down. Suddenly the smell of freshly baked pie swept past my nose… The smell of chicken, ribs and burgers, large fries and granola! Hey what do you want I was hungry! When your hungry all of your senses increase by 10! I ran to the direction of the smell it led me out of the town and over to a small hut alittle to the left on the beach. On the inside was a huge spread of food! Ribs, Chicken, whatever you name it! I didn't once think for a second if it was trap or anything… the only thing I knew was that my mouth was running like Niagara falls.
" uh yummy!" I said picking up a drumstick. Suddenly a kunai flew threw my drumstick and stuck it to the wall.
" Huh?" I said turning around.
" Hey Fira check out these awesome Kunais I got wee!" She said throwing them around like crazy I dove under the table to dodge the wildfire.
" KIAKO! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Kuro shouted from outside the hut. Kuro walked inside with her black mage hat in her hands. The black mage hat had a hole in it and Kuro's eyes were raging fire balls. She had her wond in her hand started chasing Kiako around the table of food. I crawled out from under the table to watch the two running in circles around the food.
" NOOOO! STOP IT!" I screamed. They didn't stop, then exactly as I feared Kuro would do! She DID! Kuro pulled out a Fire card and in trying to blast Kiako she the food sky high. I dropped to my knees as I saw before me burnt food. Kiako and Kuro just looked at the food as it burned… So did I…
" No…what did I ever do to deserve THIS" I cried. Kiako and Kuro slowly stepped over to the door then ran out like crazy.
" NO FOOD!" I shouted.
(Later that day)
I was in the bar my body was so weak from hunger and the day was almost over the sky glen a beautiful peach color and the sun was setting over on the mountains. Here I am in the bar the barkeep would constantly wipe down the bar table.
" Come on buddy how bout a drink" The barkeep said.
" Nah… I don't need a drink I need something to eat" I said with my head down in the table. With that Utada sat down beside me.
" What's the matter you've been moping all day and you didn't have one speck of fun" Utada said laying her head down on the bar table beside me.
" Uhhhh" is all I had to say back my stomach hurt, my head hurt and I was reallyy reallyyy reaaaaaaallllllyyy hungry!
" huh?" She asked.
" I…amm…" I barely got out.
" You are…?" She asked rubbing her head. Suddenly Avalon grabbed me by my back and pulled me over to his table. I dunno how he all of a sudden stretched his hand but… He pulled me back and threw me at his table.
Raithu rushed over and told Utada they were borrowing me for a sec…
" Okay this is how you go about it… you never tell the girl straight up you leave them hints then when they get it that's when you say it" Avalon said.
" What?" I asked with my head lying on the table weakly.
" You love Utada don't you?" He asked. I stared at Avalon for like 5minutes without a word. I didn't know what to say my brain was blank at the time and I was far to hungry to think.
" He loves her" Raithu said smiled. I love who? What hell were we talking about again?
" Great… ya know I always thought Utada had a thing for you" Raithu smiled.
" That's funny I thought she had a thing for me" Avalon shrugged. We both looked at Avalon and shrugged…
" What were we talking about again?" I asked.
" You and miss SEX E! Over there!" Avalon said pointing to Utada whom was still wearing a bikini.
" You were just about to say I am in love with you right?" Avalon said.
" No… I was gonna say I am hungry" I said.
" Oh good one… I am hungry for you lovin babe" Avalon said. " I'm gonna have to use that one you don't mind do ya?" Avalon said.
" Knock yourself out" I said looking up at the ceiling.
" Okay" Avalon got up and walked over to Utada. Raithu and I watched as he talked to her, suddenly Utada's face grew red and she slapped the shit out of him. Avalon came swaggering back… I walked over to the bar and sat down. Raithu followed me over and placed his hand on my back…
" Remember give her hints that you love her first then just come out with it I LOVE YOU" Raithu said.
" Am I interrupting anything?" Utada said with a red face. I'm guessing she came around the time Raithu said I LOVE YOU aloud.
" Oh oh nothing" Raithu said stepping back. " This moment never happened" Raithu said walking off with his big weaponry. Utada sat down beside me blushing wildly, man I know that must have been embarrassing for him.
" Uh…Fira" She said.
" Relax he was joking" I said putting my hand up in a non caring motion.
" Oh…" She laughed abit.
" Yea" I said.
" So what's wrong with you?" Utada asked. Give her hints… I thought.
" I haven't EATEN in a LONG time" I said getting up a getting in Utada's face just inches from touching.
"What?" She smiled.
" MY STOMACH IS EMPTY!" I said.
" Soo…." Utada started.
" I'm hungry!" I shouted.
" Ohhh so it was a guessing game okay try something else" Utada said smiling. I don't get it… I gave her hints… and I even told her I was hungry why doesn't she offer me food? Hmm there's something I'm missing here…
" Oh yea… Utada I love you" I said. " Now please…gimme" Before I could finish Utada slapped me and I went spinning around and landed on the floor. Utada then ran out of the bar…
" Nice form kid, she totally digs you now" The barkeep said.
" put a sock in it" I said.
I got up and walked out of the bar starving while holding my stomach. The sun was set completely and the stars were out. As I walked in the middle of the streets was a white box… A white box full of… I walked over and opened the box. Inside was six honey glazed donuts… I looked around on the box… on it was a card with the mickey mouse sign on it.
" HEY!" I said reading it.
The sigh said: A WARRIOR MUST EAT
" Ain't that the truth" I said eating some donuts I finished up all of them in less than 2minutes I ate them all up. Amazingly these little sugary wheels filled me up like an 8course meal. YUMMY! I thought aloud while standing up and stretching… I did some squats like Cloud usually did then ran around looking for fun… But sadly I spent the day in costa de so like a kid begging for food. And we were leaving tomorrow so there was no time to stay here.
" This totally sucks" I said to myself walking over to the Inn. On my way I spotted Utada with her cloths on standing on the beach gazing out at the crystal clear water as the tides brought in a gentle breeze. I walked over and stood beside her.
" What's wrong with you?" I asked smiling. She looked at me with a scowl. "Whoa chill Utada geez" I laughed.
" WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING!" She shouted. " You think what you said to me in there was some sort of joke? You should play with peoples feelings Fira" She said backing off abit from me. I looked at her strangely I just said that so she could give me some money so I can eat some food…. Better not tell her that…
" Utada I'm…"
" Just go…" She said. I turned around and started towards the inn.
" Fira" She said. I turned around and looked at her, her hair flowed in the wind and she had her hands behind her back.
" Yea?" I called.
" Did you… mean what you said?" She asked.
" I…. I dunno" I said continuing my walk up the stairs. She ran up the stairs and blocked my path then walked up to me as I stepped back down.
" You don't know it's a yes or no question Fira" She said balling up her fists.
" I… I don't know!" I said walking up to her as she started to step backwards. " And we leave it like that! Let's continue this journey save the world and get home in time for me to watch Full Metal Alchemist" I said walking up the stairs to the Inn. Geez what was that all about?
I walked into the inn, Raithu, Kiako and Kuro were playing cards and Avalon was looking at himself in the mirror.
" How'd it go?" Avalon asked.
" How'd what go?" I asked.
" You know!" Kiako said making baby faces.
" Why does everyone keep saying I… okay I'm goin to bed" I said walking up the stairs.
