Chapter 6

As our feet trudged through through the warm sand, my interest in the wares being displayed grew along with my hunger. DM, it seemed, was eyeing up a long sword easily longer then his body, which I thought was strange, Why would he buy a sword that he'd have trouble wielding? wanting an answer, I approached him as he stood in the sand, his fur ruffling slightly in the calm gentle breeze.

"Hey DM" I called coming up to him, forcing him to turn to me, his blood red eyes taking in my form.

"Yes" he replied looking back at the blade

"What you looking at?"

"Aw nothing much" he said looking at the blade as if a loved one.

"Sure doesn't look like 'nothing'" I remarked crossing my arms.

"What you think I can afford this?" DM exclaimed fondling a price tag.

"How much" I asked cocking my brow.

DM looked at me for a second before sighing, "One thousand dollars, and I only carry five hundred on my person at any given time" he looked back at the blade he just couldn't keep his eyes off it!

"Here" I said handing him five hundred dollars, he looked at me again like I was crazy.

"C'mon Echie, why spend your money on something you wouldn't use?"

"Because you saved my tail, plus that's just what friends do" I said as if stating the obvious… which in this case I was.

"Are you sure? I mean, its not like I'd ever repay you or anything." he said

"Just take the money!" I said irrataded

"Thanks." he said as he went and bought the extremely long weapon. "What should we do now?"

"I don't know, want to go back to my hotel? They have a swimming pool." I said

As we walked back to my hotel, we noticed that Psychosis had gone back to the college. Still, his imprint of him getting thrown against a wall made me giggle to myself. We entered the hotel, and went straight to my room. Upon arrival, I opened the door, and just as soon as I did, DM commented on it.

"Dude! This place kicks a-, is that a water fountain? This place is awesome!"

"Go check under the tv. I think you'll like whats in there."

He stalked over to the tv, andopened up the cabinet that it was sitting on. "Is that a PS2 with Kingdom Hearts 2 in it? This hotel gets better and better! I'll just set this sword on the couch and move it when I'm about to go to sleep-"

"You're not sleeping on the couch! Come with me."I ledhim to a door thatI knew held my bedroom.We went in, andI told him to put his gigantic weaponon his bed.He couldn't believethatI was letting him sleep in a bed rather than the couch.It's a good thing that there's two bedsrather than just one! I thought to myself.

"Thanks man! Imean for everything, not just the money for my new sword, or the bed- is that chocolate on the pillow? anyway, thanks for everything!" he said

At that moment,I knew that he andI would become truly good friends. Though something bothered me, it waswhat Psychosis had told me: "You will harm Darkmaster more than Nightshade and I couldput together!" What could that mean?
