Chapter 2: Starting the Quest
~*~*~*~*~
Akihiko hopped in the forest, collecting as many sticks as he could and then bring it back to the temple. He had always hated work, and always will… but if it was for that boy, Misaki, whom he had fallen in love with, he would make an exception. Once he had gathered a big pile, he sat to rest for a moment. One task down, five more to go… Akihiko thought. Amaterasu didn't give him that hard of a quest… He had to get some carrots, tomatoes, and radish. The only problem was, she had defined two other items as a ladle and a pot, which he had NO clue what they were. She said he could find them in a nearby village, along with the other items. After resting, he set off to the village. Akihiko hopped through the forest quickly, stopping from time to time to see if he could hear anything trying to sneak up on him. But the time he neared the end of the forest, he could smell smoke and hear humans talking. Akihiko quickened his pace and finally made it to the village. Kids were running around with dogs and adults were either working or in their houses. He started hopping towards the village only to get barked at. Oh yeah, I forgot about those dogs… Akihiko dashed off as the dogs followed him with the children yelling after them.
Akihiko dodged the humans feet as he hopped pass them, he could still hear at least one dog chasing after him, and rushing past the humans fast enough to make them fall. Akihiko took a sharp turn and slid into some baskets. He heard the dogs bark come but then quickly fade away. Akihiko poked his head out from a basket, to see if there were any other animals that would come after him. Seeing no other animals besides humans, he crawled out and then looked around. Where would he find tomatoes? Could some humans possibly have some? Akihiko hopped along and stuck his head in one of the houses, empty. He hopped in and started looking around, no carrot nor tomatoes or radish. Just as he was about to leave, he spotted a small silver rode with what looked like half of a circle that was hallowed out. That must be the ladle! Akihiko thought as he hopped over to where the object was. It was sitting itself on the small table, but it was high enough to where Akihiko could not reach. As Akihiko kept staring at the ladle, it seemed to say "Haha, you can't get me, you stupid rabbit!". Akihiko started to get mad and hopped around the table, hopping there would be something he could stand on so he could reach higher.
He sighed, there was no way he could reach, and he was too small to push an object. He hit his head on the table as he hopped. Ow… he thought as he sat down and rubbed his head. He glared at the ladle and noticed it got closer to the edge. Akihiko got up once again and hopped away from the table, only to hop quickly back and hit the table. He looked at t he ladle, it moved closer. Akihiko did the same process again and again, until he finally heard a Thunk! Akihiko spotted the ladle, Finally! He quickly hopped to the ladle and grabbed it by its end with his teeth and went off with it.
Akihiko reached the temple and set the ladle next to the sticks he gathered and sat down. He was tired and aching. Looking at the sky, he noticed night was falling. I'll start again tomorrow. He thought as he drifted to sleep and dreamt of Misaki.
