Chapter 2 Reunion

Kid turned around; hearing the sound of a girl's voice with the tone of annoyance in it. Her golden locks bounded by the crimson ribbon haloed around her as she turned; her eyes setting on the other figure of a woman about 10 feet away from herself. The girl had reddish brown hair, the expression of a bull and was tapping her feet with annoyance on the dock. Kid squinted at her as if the sun was getting in her eyes; but in truth, she was narrowing her eyes at her; for she already knew who the young lady was.

"Well? Are you deaf, or do you not understand me?" The girl tapped her feet on the dock a bit faster, getting more annoyed by the second.

Kid smirked at her, bowing her head slightly, "Forgive me, mate." She smiled at her, and pretended not to know a thing, "But it's jus' that... I've been lookin' fer someone. I heard he lives 'round here." She shifted her balance from foot to foot, "Jus' got a bit excited when I realized I was in the right area." She stopped shifting a bit, still slightly smiling at the young girl inquiring her.

The girl flipped her auburn hair, crossing her arms and shifting her balance to one side, "Well, okay. That's a plausible reason; but you didn't have to go running in here without even greeting the man at the gate. Kind of rude, if you ask me." She shifted her balance again, turning a bit towards the village. She spoke again, not giving Kid a moment to be able to speak her opinion, "Anyways, I'm Leena. I know the people of the village pretty well, and they know me, so if you need anything; I'm the one to ask." She spoke in a prideful tone.

Kid shook her head, "Thanks, but no thanks, I know where to go." She walked past Leena, heading briskly towards the small hut near the outdoor shops. As she neared, she saw a boy putting on a bandana walk out the village gate. She stopped in front of the house, glancing between the door and the entrance, contemplating where to go.

"Hey! You!" Leena yelled from the docks. She was walking swiftly towards Kid.

Kid stiffened for a moment, the little hairs on the back of her neck and on her arm standing up anxiously. She didn't dare turn around to witness the easily taunted vixen coming towards her, nor did she want to stay in the village for Leena to chase her around. Instead she moved her feet swiftly out towards town and headed towards Opassa beach once more.

As she walked down the path through Lizard Rock, Kid couldn't help but notice the little Komodo lizards running about; She couldn't get near them, for they ran away with incredible agility the moment she neared, but she could still observe them from a distance. She jumped along the rocks, the inhabitants of the area curiously watching her, but keeping their distance; she climbed the last obstacle and walked towards the beach.

She dragged her feet across the soft sand as she walked, leaving little bits of sand on her boots. Kid stood still for a moment. Before sitting down and taking her boots off, unwrapping the bandages around her feet and re-wrapping them higher. She stood up once again, still dragging her feet, letting little grains of sand flow in-between her toes. She walked towards the shoreline; sitting down several feet away from where the water stopped and looked at the calm, blue ocean. "It's so calm... It's amazing how many things are hidden below it..." She smirked at the possible treasures that have sunken in the past; her love of treasure was flowing through her mind again.

The water moved and rippled at one area, Kid looked at it, curious to see what was causing such an abnormality in the water. "Probably some fish..." She thought to herself, but kept looking nonetheless.

Kid didn't have to wait long to see what was underwater; the water splashed around a bit before a boy, shirtless, stood up with a shell in his hands. He shook his head, the water in his hair flying off as little droplets, falling back into the ocean. He took his free hand and ran it through his hair several times, ruffling it a bit. The boy examined the shell, turning it this way and that; and turned around towards the shore to see a girl sitting in the sands. He scratched his head and stayed above the water for a moment before giving the girl a smile and throwing the shell towards the shore, landing on a black cloth several feet away from the girl.

Kid watched and didn't move. She watched the shell come towards the shore, landing on what looked like a shirt with a few other shells. She fiddled with the hilt of her dagger, "I'll talk to him when he finishes collecting shells..." Her heart skipped a few beats as she waited; taking out her dagger and drawing on the sand.
