"Alrighty guys! Let's get going to Tipa!" I shouted punching my fist in the air. I knew it was happier then I felt, but I just felt like being cheerful today, it bugs me when people ask me if I'm ok or something like that... My inner chibi grinned waving around flags and candy. Mmm, candy...
"Yes, We should reach it by noon if there are little interruptions" Shoken said hauling his giant bag over his shoulder.
"Yay!" I smiled
"Haro Haro!" Little Haro chirped floating beside me.
"I swear... Shut that thing up before I burn it!" Kuro growled her fist already lit aflame
"NOO! DON'T BURN MY HARO!" I cried snatching Haro from the air and running away while Kuro tossed fireballs at me. Everyone shared a laugh cleaning up camp. Well, almost everyone
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
"EEK! DON'T HIT ME! OR I'LL SCREAM!"
"You just did..."
"Well, I'LL SCREAM LOUDER!"
"FINE! I'LL BURN THAT DAMNED REINCARNATION OF THE TENNIS BALL HEAD!"
"NOOO! NOT MINI HARO!"
"Haro! Haro!"
"Well, at least some things are back to normal" Cliff said
"Yeah, no da" Chichiri agreed
"WAAHH! MY TAIL! YOU SET MY TAIL ON FIRE!"
"IT'S ALREADY ON FIRE YOU IDIOT!"
"Oh yeah that's right." Fred walked up to me and pat my head
"Well, we're gonna get going, Gotta go find the Chief." he said "Be a good kid while I'm away, and try not to get into any more trouble"
"I will." I said bobbing my head "Tell the Chief I said Hi"
"Roger that" Will said saluting. Before Fred left, I ran up to him and swiped my finger across his face plate and did the smile gesture. He chuckled
"See ya around" he said giving me his two finger salut and folloing Will into the woods.
"Well, at least we know some things are back to normal, Kinda" Zero said
"I just said that!" Cliff said and sighed.
ʝʓʓ
As we walked down the first road and I kicked at the pebbles up in front and skipped side to side twirling around laughing like a little kid
"For gods sakes! Walk straight!" D3pa1 said but joined in anyways spreading her arms out and running behind me "WHEE! I'M AN AIRPLANE!"
"Arg, you're both morons..." Kuro groaned.
"No da!" Chichiri smiled turning chibi and jumping onto my head "Da... I hate to say this Kiako-chan but you really need to bathe..."
"I know..." I sighed hanging my head "Oh well, I will as soon as we get to Tipa I guess"
"You guess? Sounds kinda disgusting to me if you don't right away" Kel said "Even I need one..."
"Dude, You've always needed one, You always smell like oil!" Zero said
"What was that? CARE TO SAY THAT TO MY FACE?"
"I'M SAYING IT NOW!"
"Come on you guys, We don't want to attract attention" I said "I got dibs on shower first!"
"No fair! I was in a desert for three stinkin' days, I'm going first!" D3pa1 said
"Please! I was in a house filled with the smell of fish and water! And now I smell like mist and algae!" Kuro argued "I. Go. First."
"I must keep up my appearance, looks are everything!" Vale said flipping his hair behind him "I deserve to bathe first"
"NOT UNLESS I GET THERE FIRST!" I shouted running down the road "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" You see, if I have to run fast, I yell.
Later...
"Kiako-chan, you have to not do that" Kosarai-nii san said walking beside me while I panted trying to keep my breath.
"I...know...now..." I gasped "Never...Run... like crazy..."
"You do it all the time, so it wouldn't make a difference" Zero said as I tried to keep up to him. I was almost last! I sighed and took a bottle of water out of my backpack.
"Aw man, I'm almost out of water..." I sighed taking a sip
"Don't worry, we have plenty of water near Tipa" Shoken said "You can refill there"
"Good..." I looked up "I wonder how Sannu's doing"
"Yeah, I'm wondering about Poshi and Prin too" June said "Oh well, as soon as we get back we can all go to my farm!"
"Good, I'm starving!" Kel said.
"Haro!"
"SHUT THAT THING UP!"
"NOO! DON'T BURN HIM!"
ʓʓʓ
When we FINALLY got to Tipa, the sun was already setting behind the fiery orange horizon.
"Well! Home sweet home!" Galfer said "Welcome to the river side town, Tipa!"
"Wow, really nice" Cliff said as Zero took off his helmet shaking his hair loose. Shoken took off running towards a tall hill
"Hey wait for me!" I said running after him
"Baka! Come back here!"
"Come on everyone!" June said "Shoken's heading to my house!"
MAN! Shoken sure runs fast for a guy with metal shoes! UPHILL none the less!
"Sannu!" Shoken called "SANNU!"
"Shoken! Slow down!" I shouted as everyone run past me "YOU ALL RUN TOO FAST!"
"You're just too slow" Kuro said flying ahead
"NO FAIR! YOU HAVE WINGS!" I stopped for a moment to catch my breath. Then felt something on...my...back?
"Oh my dear! Are you tired? Allow me to carry you" Vale said already grabbing my waist.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I charged up the hill screaming zooming past everyone making whatever loose clothing they had fly up.
"AH!" Albel struggled to keep his skirt down "I'LL KILL YOU YOU MAGGOT! COME BACK HERE!"
"Whoa, Maralin Monroe action!" D3pa1 said holding onto her hat.
"WHOA!" Kel's whole trenchcoat flew up and his coat turned inside out flying away "HEY!"
"BRRFM!" Zero's shout was muffled because his scarf flew up into his face, and the helmet he was holding tumbled down the hill "Oh crap!"
"HARO!" the green ball spun out of control smacking into Vales face
"Oh my!"
"NO DA!" Chichiri's cloak flew up tangling into his arms "DAA!" he fell over and began rolling down the hill. Vivi almost lost his hat but held fast, much to D3pa1's disappointment. Hao was silent and was still walking as his whole cloak fluttered upwards showing his bare chest, I never knew he was that skinny... What a stick...OMG I HOPE HE CAN'T READ MY MIND!
ȹʓ
I was panting again waiting for the others to come up drinking my water. All that running and I still wasn't up the top! I was only like, Half way.
"I'LL KILL THAT MAGGOT! SHE'S DEAD!" Albel shouted swinging his sword around while Cliff kept him restrained
"It's your own fault for wearing a skirt! So SHUT UP!" Cliff said walking past me "Hey Kiako"
"Hiiiiiiii..." I said waving as the others trotted up.
"BAKA! I ALMOST LOST MY HAT BECAUSE OF YOU!" Kuro shouted smacking me in the head with her staff
"Nyah! Ouchie!"
"Well, let's keep going" Kakashi said smiling from behind his mask. Vivi began to walk past me when he sat down beside me.
"I'm tired... This hill is so big" he said. I grinned
"Want me to carry you?"
"Mm, Hm..." He nodded and held his arms out climbing onto my back.
"Yosha, Let's go!" I said happily "Up up, AND AWAY!" Vivi laughed as I ran up the hill, even if I was tired. Hey, he was like my little brother.
When we all reached the top, a small farm stood on the top surrounded by flowers, corn and other fields. Shoken and June ran straight to the house.
"Sannu!" Shoken called
"Mother! Father! Poshi! Prin! I'm home!" Soon a small crowd ran out of the house.
"June! Welcome home!" a lady Clavat said hugging her daughter
"Yay! June's back!" the boy and girl hugged June's legs. Shoken looked around
"Where's Sannu?" he asked.
"Sannu! Your brother is back! You can come out" June's mother said, for a moment there was no sound.
"Sannu?" Shoken said "Where are you?" I frowned and slowly placed Vivi back on the ground then walked to the open door. Peeking inside I saw a small Yuke huddling in the corner.
"Sannu? It's me, Kiako" I said and slowly walked in "Do you remember me? I came back, like I promised" the small yuke slowly stood up hugging a dirty yellow duck plushie. Oh yeah, that's Mr. Warkster. I smiled and stepped in a little more.
"Everyone's waiting outside Sannu, your big brother especially wants to see you" I said
"...Is... Is he changed?" a small voice asked. My smile broadened.
"Only that he's a bit taller, but nothing else" I said and held out my hand "Come on, let's go meet everyone" Sannu backed into the corner again.
"I...I...I'm scared..." he sniffled. I sighed and instead of walking, crawled towards him and sat there in the dark in front of him.
"It's ok, there's nothing to be scared of." I said gently "No worries, You have me! The cat that can get hit by a bowling ball! And a rubber bouncy ball! And a wreaking ball! And a fireball! And maybe a balloon! But that'd be it cause it'd probably be dead..." I held out my hand again and felt the furry hand take it.
"Ok..." Slowly standing up and bringing Sannu with me, we both walked to the door and out.
"Sannu!" Shoken took off running and kneeled in front of his brother hugging him "I'm so glad to see you!" Sannu didn't say anything but began to sniffle. I smiled at the display and ook a few steps back and looking away, just to be polite. Then I felt something grab my waist
"I'm glad you came back..." Sannu said looking up at me "Thank you..." I pat his back
"Aww it's not a problem, I always keep my promises! Or at least I try." I chuckled.
"Well, I'm gonna go see my family, I miss them" Galfer said waving "See ya at the bottom"
"Okie Dokie!" I said waving.
ʓʓʓ
After introductions again, we all decided to go back to the town square together.
"Carry me! Please?" Prin asked jumping up and down
"Me too!" Poshi said. Sannu stayed quiet, still clutching onto Mr. Warkster. I bent down in front of Sannu
"You want me to carry you down?" I asked. He kinda bobbed his head down and I spun around "Hop on! The Kiako Kitty express!"
"Aww, Lucky!" Prin said. I stood up making sure Sannu wouldn't slide off my back
"Don't worry, We'll take turns! I'll carry Sannu for a bit of the way, then Poshi then Prin and probably Vivi"
"Aww, Ok" Prin said then grabbed my hand "I wanna hold your hand!"
"I wanna hold her hand too!" Poshi said grabbing my other.
"Whoa whoa whoa! I need one hand to hold Sannu up so he doesn't fall" I said using my right hand to hold the yuke up "But, since I have two pom pom danglies, you guys can hang onto those, Unless you wanna hold my tail"
"I wanna hold her tail!" Poshi said taking hold of it "Hey! The fire doesn't burn me!" I smiled
"Vivi, you want to be the leader?" I asked.
"Leader?"
"Yeah, you just walk ahead of us and look important, like how Zidane does it. Just... Don't go hitting on girls, they don't like it when you do that"
"But, how do I look important?" he asked
"Well, just kinda, swing your arms and stuff! Walk proud! I like to march"
"O-Ok" he said and stood in front of us then began to march. I laughed walking behind him
"Hup 2, 3, 4, Hup 4, 5, 6-" I chanted while Poshi, Prin and Vivi chanted along, even Sannu was softly saying it.
ʓʓʓ
"Whew! You guys got heavier while I was gone!" I said carrying Prin on the last bit of the hill, wait no... The MOUNTAIN! We all reached the square and there was a large gathering of people. I set Prin down and we all walked towards the group.
"Hey it's the kitty!" a lilty said pointing at me
"KITTY!" a whole group of children ran towards me
"WHOA WHOA WHOA!" I shouted getting burried under the pile "HELP! I'M BEING BURIED ALIVE!" Everyone laughed while I pryed little children from my body.
"Can you play with us today?"
"Yeah! Come play!"
"HA! I grew taller!"
"Uh...wha... I..." I stuttered trying to walk to all of the kids at once. I had no IDEA I had gotten so popular! GUYS! HELP ME!
"Sorry children, you will have to play later, Kiako is busy right now" Shoken said "We do have to pour the myrrh into the fountain" All the children hung their heads and I started to feel bad for them.
"Well, as soon as their done, we cone all go play ball!" I said cheerfully "How about it?"
"Ok!" at least three kids grabbed my hands and tail "Let's go watch together!"
"WAH! OK OK!"
We all walked to the middle of the square where Elder Fir stood with Galfer, Shoken and June presenting the chalice.
"Kiako, get over here!" June hissed and I scampered up beside her.
"Sorry..." I muttered to her.
"Brave adventurers, welcome home to Tipa." Elder Fir said "I see you've collected all the myrhh"
"Yes sir" Shoken said
"Well done, now, a festival to celebrate the return of our hero caravaners!" The whole village cheered. Galfer grabbed Shokne into a head lock
"Hear that? Hero! I like the sound of that!"
"Y-Yeah, Stop choking me!"
"Arg, boys" June said shaking her head but smiling none the less.
ʓʓʓ
"Pass to me!" Poshi called waving to me
"I got it! I got it!" I drew my leg back ready to kick
"NEVAH!" D3pa1 ran in front of me-
And kicked me in the shin...
"OW OW! CHEAP SHOT! MY LEG!" I cried rolling on the ground making all the kids laugh
"MY FOOT!" D3pa1 rolled around with me and we both collided into each other laughing our brains out. I think mine were gone in the first place...
"Are you two ok?" Vivi asked leaning over us
"Yeah" D3pa1 smiled slowly getting up dusting her pants off "How 'bout you Kiako?"
"Just...Gimme...A...Second!" I laughed, still holding my side getting to my feet "Ok...I'm alright now..." I grinned and looked around the square, now lit with a giant fire and candles.
Happy music played as everyone played instruments and danced around eatting lots of food. Kel, Zero, Cliff, Chichiri and Kosarai-nii san all sat eatting food on one part of the square. Hao, Albel and Kuro sat at another part just talking about who knows what, Shoken, Galfer and June were talking to Elder Fir about their whole trip. Of course, D3pa1, Vivi and I were playing soccer with the kids. And, Oh wait... where's Kakashi-sensei?
"I'll be right back guys, ok?" I said and waved "Really, I'll be back!" I ran around the square looking back and forth trying to find my teacher, Come ON! He's over six feet tall! HOW CAN I NOT SEE HIM!
Maybe because he's not there you idiot...
Good point.
I felt something grab my shoulders and I whipped around almost smacking someone with my arm
"Why hello there, It's been a while since we've seen each other" a clavat with a head band said smiling with a band of girls behind him.
"Hey, Dearka..." I said nervously smiling and waving. God not this creep again! He took my hand and I felt myself turn red.
"I've been counting the days since we've been apart, and I must confess to you that I-"
"Kiako! Where areth' thou?" Vale said running up to me, he suddenly spotted Dearka with his hand on mine "You swine! What are you doing with my Kiako!"
"YOUR Kiako? I met her first!" Dearka said
"No I did!"
"I DID!"
"I DID!"
Oh for the love of God, Both of you cut it out! Heated lightning passed between the two and I took a step away.
"I shall fight for my love then!" Vale said drawing out a handle then while giving it a flick, and blade popped out of it.
"Fine by me!" Dearka also drew his sword "We shall fight..."
"FOR HER ETERNAL LOVE!" the both shouted together.
"oh shit..." I mutttered and turned tail, and RAN. RUN! LIKE THE WIND! TO THE HILLS! AHHHH!
"She is mine!" Dearka said shooting a fire ball at me
"EEK!" I jumped up as it missed me and ducked as Vale's sword swung over my head "You guys are crazy!"
"Crazy about you!" Dearka sang "Face my fireballs, OF LOVE!"
"Never!" Vale flicked his wrist again as the sword suddenly became and whip. It lashed around Dearka's sword pulling it out of his grasp.
"NO!"
"HA! Kiako is mine!" Vale said triumphantly "Um, where is she anyways?"
ʓʓʓ
WAY TO CLOSE! I gasped trying to catch my breath. That was just plain scary! I never want two guys to fight over me again! I'm not worth it! Well, Maybe a little bit, But not really! I sighed and looked down from the tall tree I was perched in watching Dearka and Vale argue on me getting "Kidnapped" I layed again the tree trunk and sighed again.
"Something on your mind?" I looked up seeing Kakashi reading his book.
"Hey there you are! I've been looking all over for you!" I said "What're you doing up here?"
"Hm, just getting away from the festivities" he said sitting beside me "Didn't like them much, even in the village" I smiled.
"I don't like them much either, I kinda just like to stay in the background and hope that nobody spots me"
"Why not?" Kakashi asked. I rummaged in my bag for a moment and found a picture frame with three girls in the picture.
"See that girl right there? Shortest one with the glasses and dark brown hair wearing the blue blouse and jeans"
"The one of the left?"
"No the right, the...uh...pleasantly plump one..." I sighed "That's me... Whenever people see me they make fun of me." There was a long silence.
"You have a nice smile" Kakashi said "And you have a cute face"
"Really?" I said surprised. No really, I really was surprised. Nobody ever told me those things, well, expect mom when I was depressed after going shopping. THAT'S WHY I NEVER GO!
"Yeah, even if you are a bit um, plesantly plump. You still look the same to me" I couldn't help but smile.
"Aww, thanks." I said "No one ever said that about me before, Except mom." Kakashi smiled and pat my head
"Well, she was right" he said and stood up "Now, how about we go get something to eat?" I smiled and nodded following him.
"Hey, where've you guys been?" Kel asked swallowing the corn he was eatting
"Running from the Kiako cops" Kakashi said gesturing to Dearka and Vale still fighting. June ran to us and gathered her breath.
"Kiako, we're running out of food, so could you run up to my house to the barn and get some more? There should be a sack of different food there. Bring two sacks of corn because that's dwindling quickly"
"Ok" I nodded smiling then saluting "I'll be right back with more corn!"
"Bring back some grapes while your at it!"
"And potatoes"
"MEAT!"
"Ok ok!" I said waving at them and began to trek up the excuciatingly tall hill.
ʓʓʓ
"Phew... Made it..." I sighed reaching the top and looking down seeing the glow of the fire in the square. I mean like, only the glow, nothing else. It was even silent up here it was so far away! And they expect me to drag potatoes and meat down there... I sighed again and headed towards the barn. At least it was kinda lit up here... A cresent moon peered down at me lighting my path only slightly, but enough to let me at least see. Hey wait a sec, I'm half cat! Shouldn't I be able to see in the dark? Aw whatever... Loud barks and snarls were heard in the field, maybe it's just a few dogs.
Suddenly my ears perked up when I heard a scream. Looking at the field and squinting, I saw a figure running with something long and shiny while being chased by dark shadows.
"Excuse me! Do you need help?" I called. Just then the figure fell and the shadows jumped onto it "Hey!" Running to the field as fast as I could, I saw three bandersnatch wolves biting at something on the ground. When I got closer I saw it was a person.
"O-OI! Cut that out!" I swung my arm back slapping the first bandersnatch nearest to me. Soon, the rest of the pack began to leave the person alone and surround me instead. Guess they'd like a running target... I glanced down at the person seeing he wasn't moving and dropped down into a fight stance. The first bandersnatch lunged at me, teeth bared, saliva flying. Spinning around, I delivered a round house kick knocking it back. The other two charged and I quickly did a seal
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" three clones of myself popped to life and we all did the same seal "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu! (Grand fireball no jutsu!)" the fire burned at the wolves and they all yelped as the flames licked at them. They rose again surrounding me and I dropped onto my hands and knees and hissed in a feline way. Soon, all at once, they snapped at me and two began to leave. The last one though, didn't seem to have had enough... It barked, snarling again and jumped at me right in front of my face.
"BAD DOGGY!" I cried punching it in the muzzle sending it flying.
"Arg..." I looked down at the person and kneeled beside him.
"Hey, are you ok? Hello? Hey!" I said shaking the person as he winced. Quickly changing to Black Mage Dress sphere, I lit a fire spell on my hands sending a glow over the person. In the glow, I saw he wore a brown vest with weird clothing and gloves along with a kinda helmet hat that had a pair of goggled strapped to it. He kinda looked like a pilot or engineer. The guy had orange hair and his face was twisted in pain. In his hand, was a sword and on his back a shealth. I jumped to my feet
"Hey! Someone help! Anyone!" I shouted and shook my head changing back to Festival Goer. "We're too high up... Nobody can hear me..." I looked down at the person. I should go for help, but I can't just leave him there... I rubbed my chin and pat my fist into the palm of my hand.
"I've got no choice, I'll have to carry him down" I said to myself and kneeled beside the person again "Just hold on, This might hurt for a little while" I grabbed his sword from his hand shealthing it and picked him up from under his arms lifting him onto my back making sure his arms were over my shoulders. Then, as fast, and careful, as I could ran down the hill trying not to pitch forward onto my face. As soon as music returned to my ears and the light or the fire, I sighed with relief
"Kakashi-sensei! Kosarai-nii-san! Kuro! Dpa1! HELP ME!" In a flash Kakashi was already in front of me with the others at his heels.
Kiako! I told you to get potatoes! Not, what is on your back!" June said
"No no! I found this guy in the field! He was attacked by bandersnatch" I said shifting my shoulders.
"And you carried him all the way down here?" Zero asked
"Yeah and, arg, nevermind! We gotta help him!" I said urgently hopping from foot to foot.
"My house is closest, we can go there" Shoken said already running towards his house "Hurry! Sannu, come on!"
"C-Coming..."
As soon as we got to Shoken's house, he lit the fireplace and led me to a room.
"This is the guest room, you can set him here and I'll be right back with some bandages, Sannu, can you get he medicine?" While the two yukes went to work, I set the guy on the bed and rubbed my shoulder. Man, carrying kids all day isn't healthy for your back...
ʓʓʓ
"I think he'll be ok, just a few bites and cuts here and there" Shoken said covering the person with a blanket "All he needs is some rest"
"Phew, what a relief..." I sighed sitting on a stool that sat beside the bed "I wonder where he came from?"
"Geez, who knows" Kuro said "With all the dimensional tears you've created we might even somehow get Sailor Moon one day"
"DON'T. SAY THAT." D3pa1 said her eyes growing wide "I HATE. SAILOR MOON"
"Yeah, me too..." I agreed.
"I like their skirts" Zero said
"Oh course you do you pervert!"
"You should all get some rest, it's well past midnight" Galfer said
"Yes, you can stay in my house, It's big enough so everyone can sleep there" June said.
"Great, see you all tomarrow morning" Shoken said and everyone began to file out of the room. I sat there planted to the stool staring at the sleeping boy, or man... It's hard to tell. He kinda looked older then 16, that was a given, but probably under 30. Ah well, I suppose just guy would work. I felt a hand on my shoulder
"Kiako, you need to sleep too, Come on to the barn" Kel said with Kakashi, Chichiri and Cliff behind him.
"Yeah no da, if you over work yourself it's not healthy da"
"Yea, so come on, let's get going" Cliff said. I shook my head
"Nu-uh, I wanna make sure this guy makes it out ok. Plus Shoken and Sannu can't take care of him themselves" I said "Don't worry, I just want to wait for him to wake up, then I'll come by the farm ok?"
"Still you need to sleep" Kakashi said. I gave a reasuring smile
"Don't worry sensei, I'll get some sleep" I said.
As soon I know this guy is going to be ok...
"Alright then, later" Kel said walking out "Let's hurry, I'm starving!" When they left Shoken walked up to me.
"They are right though, you do need to sleep" Shoken said
"No worries! I will sleep! You get some sleep first though, you had a whole 8 month journey, remember?" Shoken chuckled
"Yes, that's right." he stood up "Well, I'm turning in then, don't stay up to long"
"Ok, G'night"
ʓʓʓ
I sat with my scretch book in my hands while Haro chirped softly in front of me laying on the bed which the guy was sleeping on. I set Haro so that if the guy woke up, he'd alert me right away, even if I was asleep. I sighed and looked at my sketch. It was of the guy sleeping, and it wasn't at all perfect. More like it had become, Animetized. YA! ANIMETIZE ME CAPTAIN! Heh, opps, ate too much Captain Crunch... Soon I had propped my elbows on my knees and staring into space, making my eyes cross for the fun of it. I sniffed and smelt iron.
"Huh?" I looked up and saw that the guy was shaking, when I lifted the blanket up slightly I saw his blood had leaked through the bandages "Kuso!" I swore and looked for more bandages, which there weren't any.
"Crap... Well, Kage bunshin no jutsu!" I quickly made 3 more clones and whispered to each of them "Ok, you go look in the kitchen, and you go look in the forgery"
"Why do I have to look in the forgery?" one clone whined and spotted the guy on the bed "Who's that? He's cute!"
"Yeah!"
"Guys! No time! If you don't find those bandages, this guy's gonna bleed to death!" I hissed "And, yeah I have to admit. He is kinda cute." we all shared a giggle and they went to find the bandages. In a matter of moments they returned empty handed.
"No luck?"
"Nope..."
"I found sugar!"
"What good is sugar gonna do us!"
"Well, nice try guys" I said and dispelled the jutsu. I rubbed my chin and changed to White mage dress sphere then lifted the blanket off of the guy "Sorry, but I'll have to do this" I took a deep breath and a blue aura surrounded my hands.
"Cure!" I forced chakra from my hands trying to make it spread like water over his body. He cringed as the blood seeped back into his body and the wounds closed up. When he began to relax I sighed in relief. Now all I have to do is keep this up until he's completely healed, no problem! I looked at the guy and smiled softly, he really did look cute, sleeping there and kinda snoring.
Suddenly a growl erupted cutting through the silence.
"Gee, thanks alot for ruining the moment..." I muttered glaring at my stomache, I never knew using healing spells required me to eat food! After a few minutes, the aura on my hands died down into nothing but a glow then nothing.
Dammit, no more chakra.
I yawned changing back into Festival Goer. At least I know he's gonna be ok. I layed my head on the side of the bed and closed my eyes.
"I guess resting them won't hurt too much... Just a few minutes..."
ʓʓʓ
My ears twitched and I slowly opened my eyes hearing small humming sounds. A smile plastered itself on my face and I snuggled back into my arms as something rubbed my head. What the... Am I, purring? Sure enough I felt my tail wagging back and forth while something rubbed my head behind my ears and a happy tune in my head. I was really tired from last night... With the clones and stuff... My eyes immiediatly snapped open and I lifted my head seeing the guy looking at me, his eyes were closed but I think he can still see me... Chichiri face maybe? He kinda had a Chichiri face.
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. Did I wake you?" he asked smiling.
Oh yeah, Chichiri face.
"Um, no, it's ok" I said smiling and looked up at him, he had his hat on, but... No...Shirt... My eyes began to wander down and I gave my head a little shake. BAKA! DON'T STARE! IT'S NOT NICE! But..I couldn't help but sneak a peek... Amazingly his clothes made him look bigger then he actually is, he's kinda skinny, but not Albel skinny. More like, I dunno, at least I can tell he's well built.
"So, who're you kitten?" he asked
"Ano? I'm Kiako, Kiako Ornitier." I replied. He smiled again
"Ah, nice to meet you Kiako-chan. I'm Hayashida Heihachi from the Wood cut school, Or Sir Heihachi as my friends call me." he said and rubbed his arm "Ouch, everything's all stiff, how shabby..."
"Gomenasai Hayashida-san, I would've healed you completely but I kinda ran out of power..." I said rubbing behind my head.
"It's ok, and just call me Heihachi, Hayashida-san is too long" he said and slowly got out of the bed "Um, where's my clothes? I know i have my pants on but where's my other things?"
"Right here." Shoken walked in handing Heihachi his coat.
"Ah, Arigatou-gozaimasu" he said bowing. He took off his hat and pulled a white turtle neck over his head. Then his beige coat, then a brown kinda bag that slung over one shoulder like a purse... and then a dark brown vest over all that. Then last, he strapped his sword onto his back on his right side, it seemed to attach to his vest so he could just reach behind him and slash it out. Then replacing his hat and gloves, he smiled and bowed again. HOW MANY LAYERS DOES THIS GUY HAVE?
"I suppose this is your house?" he asked. Shoken nodded
"Yes, It's not much but please, make yourself comfortable" he said "Are you hungry?"
"Yes, a little" Heihachi said "Kiako-chan, are you hungry?" I grinned and nodded
"Oh yeah, really hungry"
ʓʓ
"MY DEAR KIAKO! HOW I'VE MISSED YOU SO! I WAS AFRAID I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" Vale cried clinging to my waist
"WAAAH! GET HIM OFF ME!"
"Ohiyou Kiako-chan" Kakashi-sensei said walking through the door and then spotted Heihachi "Ohiyou stranger"
"Wah! So this is the man you found!" Galfer said zooming beside Heihachi examining him
"Man or boy?" June said shaking her head "He looks so young!"
"Truthfully, he has Chichiri's face" Zero said.
"No da?" Chichiri popped up behind him as if on cue and stared at Heihachi.
"Domo! (Hello!)" Heihachi said cheerfully waving
"Domo, no da!"
"So Kiako-chan, do you know who he is now?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm Hayashida Heihachi, of the Wood cut school. Nice to meet you!" Heihachi said and looked at Shoken "Um, I don't mean to be a bother, but do you have any rice?"
"Rice? No, I'm sorry. I don't think I have any" Shoken said rubbing his beak.
"I have rice" Kakashi said reaching into his back pouch and taking out a sack "Shinobi always carry rations with them, if you had a pot and water we could make rice" Heihachi seemed to brighten like a light bulb.
"Arigatou-gozaimasu!"
"Ah, I'll be right back then. There might be a pot in the forgery" Shoken said.
"Huh? You have a forgery?" Heihachi asked
"Yes, it's in the back" Shoken replied. Heihachi stood up and smiled
"I know then! To repay you for letting me stay here, I'll chop firewood for you! How's that?" he said.
"It's ok, no need to push yourself, you just got out of bed"
"But I'm so stiff all over, I feel really shabby" Heihachi said and clapped his hands together smiling sweetly "Please?" Shoken sighed shaking his head and looked at Sannu
"What do you think? Should we let him?" he asked. Sannu nodded while chewing on a star carrot.
"Yosh! I'll go and chop you wood then!" Heihachi marched right out the door closing it behind him.
"What a weird guy..." Zero said
"Yeah..." Kel agreed, his arms crossed.
"Well, I think he's very nice" I said "I like him, he's very charming"
"You like anyone who's nice" D3pa1 said giving me a noogie.
"Nyah! You're starting to sound like Kuro!" I sniffled.
"Oh yes, speaking of Kuro" Hao walked up to me and handed me a note "She asked me to give this to you"
"Hm?" I took that note and began to read.
Dear Idiot,
I'm sick and tired of us jumping from world to world, plus I have freaking Finals in school. So I've gone ahead to the real world, don't worry, I'll try to cover you until you find your own way back. Good luck and hopefully, see you soon... I guess... Wouldn't make much of a difference with you around or not... You can contact me via E-mail, I borrowed D3pa1's laptop.
Later, Kuro Suzaku
"GAAH! KURO LEFT WITHOUT US!" I cried "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"She has her reasons I guess" D3pa1 shrugged
"NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Shut up already jeez!"
"I don't think she's listening..."
"NOOOOOO-ACTUALLY THAT TIME I WAS ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION- NOOOOOO!"
"GO OUTSIDE AND SHOUT NO!" June growled literally kicking me out of the house. I crawled to the door and mewed like a cat scratching at the door. Soon enough, it opened anyways.
"Just don't do it again..." Galfer groaned.
"Well, the rice is ready, mind going to tell our new friend to come in?" Shoken said.
"Okie!" I said happily running to the door
"He wasn't refering to you ya know" Cliff said. I shrugged
"Aw well, I'll be back" I said running to the back where the metal forge was. When I reached the back the sound of wood knocking together brought my attention.
"Hup!" the sound of more wood clunking. I peeked around the corner seeing Heihachi slice his sword downwards cutting a log in half smoothly. He placed another log on the cutting stump and cut it in half again. He paused to wipe the sweat from his forhead, I took a chance and walked towards him.
"Domo" I said, he looked up and smiled
"Domo!" I picked up a sliced log and examined the log
"Wow, really clean cut. You're really good" I said "And you seem to have fun"
"Yeah well, it's nothing really" Heihachi said placing another log and slicing it "It's just the way I am. Hup" I rubbed my head
"Well, the rice is ready" I said "Ready to go inside?"
"Just a minute, I want to finish these few logs first" he set another one up and sliced it "Heh, a samurai using his sword to cut firewood is disgraceful isn't it?"
"No, not really. Samurai must survive the elements and learn to live one their own. Course, that's what I heard"
"Well, at least chopping wood is alot easier then chopping people" Heihachi chuckled "But because of my timid character, I never killed anyone before. I usually just run away" Pure facination is what I felt with this guy, I never met him, and I don't know what anime or game he's from, but I'm starting to like him already!
"Well, Kakashi-sensei told me it's really hard to kill a person, and I agree" I said and let out a laugh "I get upset and start crying when I blurt out an insult by accident! Then I feel bad afterwards and ...yeah..."
"Heh heh" He had about 3 more logs to chop and he went though the next 2 in a flash.
"Well, last one, then we can go and eat rice!" Heihachi said grinning and raised his sword to slice the log.
WOOOOOOOT!
Steam hissed from the forgery making me jump and Heihachi's sword slip from his grasp as he tumbled forward tripping over the logs he had just cut and falling face first into the floor.
"Holy crap! Are you ok!" I called running towards him and my foot slipped on something... "WAH!" I skidded on my face a few feet and groaned.
"Itai..." Heihachi winced rubbing his cheek while I massaged my face.
"Gah, I'm so clumsy..." I groaned
"Me too..." We both looked at each other and smiled.
"Ha! You're just like me!" we both said at the same time and laughed. Helping each other up we began to walk back to the house.
"Yo!" I said popping into the door
"Where were you guys? You were suppose to be here like, 20 minutes ago!" Cliff said
"I was finishing up the logs, wouldn't want them undone, other wise I'd forget" Heihachi said sitting down while June helped Shoken hand out the food. I grabbed a bundle of rainbow grapes and sat down at the table.
"Yay! Rice! Arigatou" Heihachi said and picked up a spoon "Itadakimasu!" he scooped the rice and chewed looking like he was thinking, or counting every grain of rice in his mouth.
"Wow, now that's what I call chewing thoughtfully" I joked, Heihachi nearly choked on his rice and chugged down the water June had put out in front.
"Don't do that!" he gasped coughing and drinking more water "This rice is different from Kanna rice, where is it from?"
"The Hidden leaf village Konoha" Kakashi said.
"Ah! It's alot smaller then Kanna rice, but still it has a nice texture to it, a bit salty though" Heihachi said rubbing his chin. Everyone stared at him
"My god, He's a rice fanatic"
"Well, on of my hobbies is trying rice from different places and comparing them, I love rice" Heihachi smiled.
"We can see that" Zero said "It really shows"
"I just have a big coat."
"Or is your coat a cover up?" Zero countered.
"Ooh burn!" Kel laughed
"Aw... Oh well" Heihachi smiled again.
Wow, man this is weird, first we lose all the SO3 characters and Kuro, but then we get Heihachi in exchange. This is getting more twisted then I thought... And what's this feeling in m stomache? It's all... Fluttery and stuff... GAH! THERE IT GOES AGAIN! MY...BODY...IS ALL...TINGLY!
Authors notes: Hi hi! Sorry this took so long. Yes, Hayashida Heihachi is from Samurai 7, I swear, minute I saw him I suddenly liked him! And reading he was such a kind person, I couldn't resist! He's starting to outrank Kakashi on favorites... Or maybe it's the lack of Naruto eipsodes he hasn't been in lately for the fillers...
Oh well, I hope you enjoyed this! BYE!
