What the Koi saw 6
I was talking to Elder today and he told me somethign odd. Elder told me that none of the koi had ever had Night-Visions like mine. Usual Night-Visions are supposed to be about Small-Crunchies, or swimming a lot, not about a really big pond full of other fish.

Big-Eyes-White-Fur came back tonight. It sat looking at me from the edge of the waer, before it trailed it's fin in the water. I decided to have a little fun, so I swam up towards it and nibbled on it's fin. There was a strange noise, like that that Scary-Noise-One makes sometimes, but it seemed nicer. Big-Eyes-White-Fur told me that the changes it mentioned would be happening in the next few days, then it held up a small water-holder, and poured something green from it into the water. I swam away from the green cloud, but it followed me. I started to get really scared, and swam behind a rock. When I peeked out from behind the rock, I saw that Big-Eyes-White-Fur was still there, looking at me, but the green cloud was gone. Then Big-Eyes-White-Fur told me to come out, and not be afraid.
I did, mostly because I didn't see that strange cloud. When I swam towards where Big-Eyes-White-Fur was, I started to get a headache. Big-Eyes-White-Fur looked at me and it's face changed. It reached into the water and touched my forehead. Then my headache seemed to expand and cover my whole body. Next thing I knew, I was looking at Not-Provider again, but she seemed to be different. That was when I noticed that she had a Small-One with her that looked like a little Provider... and that Sad-One was standing by her, holding something small. I was a little confused, so I swam towards them to see them better. As I got closer Sad-One and Provider ignored me, but Not-Provider looked right at me. It told me that I should remember these things, and to tell Sad-One to remember its promise. Then it looked down at Little-Provider, and I noticed that Little-Provider was looking right at me and giggling. Sad-One was still ignoring me, and looking at the small bundle in it's arms. Then I saw only black.
The next thing I knew, I was looking again at Big-Eyes-White-Fur. I was told everything was okay, and to remember what I had seen.

Provider brought the good food today, and made some sounds. But something was odd about the sounds. Even though they were the normal sounds, I COULD UNDERSTAND THEM! Provider seemed to be saying something about someone messing up it's home. Provider was saying something about someone named Akane making not good food in it's home and ruining it's private place. That seemed to make Provider really upset, and I grumbled about someone making Provider upset enough to make the sad sounds. For a moment there was dead silence. Provider looked around and, seeing noone, looked down to where I was at and, in a soft voice, said hello. It was then I realized something. We were actually communicating! The shock made me dart behind a rock and hide.

Every day, when Provider brings the good food now, there is a good conversation. Today, though, I learned something important. I learned that the names I gave for those outside the water is wrong. The most important name I learned is that of Provider. Provider told me it's name is Kasumi. That is a name I shall remember.

Today, Kasumi told me how to tell the differences between the males and the females of her species. She told me that Red-Black-One is normally a male. She also told me that Metal-Fin, who is named Ukyo, is a female, even though she looks like a he. She also laughed when I asked about the pretty lady that sometimes hides in a Tasty-Green.
