"Oh wow!" I grinned looking out at the Moonflow, "It's like a sea of stars only in the water!"
"Yeah no da, it's really pretty." Chichiri said in his tiny Chibi form sitting on top of my head. I quickly snapped a picture with my camera. Hmm, film count says 4...
"Uh-huh. What do you guys thi-" Kariudo turned to the others, "Uh-oh..."
"Eh? Uh-oh what?" I turned too and felt a sweat drop over my head, "Oh..."
"We...need...food..." Kein croaked and collapsed thus completing the trail of hungry KO'dguardians. Even Kakashi was a little more slouchy then usual.
"I think it'd be wise if we stopped for lunch." Kariudo suggestly meekly. I nodded, wow I need to pack more food...
So after we ate and stuff, we walked along the Moonflow and there was a loud rumble.
"What the? Heihachi I thought you ate enough." Oscar said looking at the samurai.
"It wasn't me."Hei-san said with a frown. Everyone looked at Kel.
"Hey just cause I like to eat doesn't mean I'm always hungry!" he scowled.
"OOH! Shoopufs!" I shouted pointy, "Lookie lookie!"
"Those aren't shoopufs, they're called Shiparfs idiot." Zero said
"No they're Shoopufs." Kel corrected.
"The hell're you talking about? They're Shiparfs!" Zero argued
"They're flippin' Shoopufs!"
"THEY'RE SHIPARFS BECAUSE I SAY THEY ARE!"
"YOU WANNA START A FIGHT?"
"Hey hey hey! Why don't we ask the nice Hypello?" I said trying to calm the rabid ninja and the infuritated inventor.
"Shoe puff? What's a Shoe puff?" Heihachi asked.
"Shoopuf, not Shoe Puff. S-H-O-O-P-U-F." I said.
"Ok, then what the heck is that?"
Kel, Zero and I turned around and pointed.
"That's a Shoopuff!"
"Shiparf."
"SHOOPUF!"
"Whoa! What's that thing doing here!" Kyoko cried pointing at the Shoopuf, "Fine, then I shall prove to Kuro-sama that I can stay with him and the other Kuro-san!"
"Er, How?"
"I'm gonna blow up the Shoopuf!" Kyoko said and took a deep breath in.
"Kyoko-san! Please don't do that around here!" Charden said quickly.
"Weird kid..." Fayt whispered to a silent raven haired man in Kariudo's group. Oh yeah, that's Soren (FE 9) I dunno why he's always so quiet, guess he doesn't talk much.
"I'm not weird!" Kyoko huffed.
A nearby bush set itself on fire. The whole group seemed to panic and Kakashi was quick to use a water jutsu to put it out.
"You see, Kyoko and I both have the power of Tao." Charden said adjusting his sunglasses, "For instance, Kyoko-san can breathe fire while I can manipulate blood."
"Fire and blood? Wow..." Fayt took a few steps back from Kyoko and bowed apologetically. OMG! Long word alert!
"So, with that matter out of the way... Where to now?" Kariudo asked.
"Well first we cross the Moonflow, get to Guadosalam then head through the Thunder plains to Macalania forest." Kel said, "Hm, I wonder if Kuro's there yet?"
"What do you mean we gotta pay for a ride!"
"Eh?"
"Well, speak of the Devil." Vale said. We walked up to the group and I reconiozed the long dark hair from both Hao and Kuro.
"Kur-!" I started to called when something ran past me knocked me into a blue pillar.
"KURO-SAMA!" Kyoko sang out hugging Train.
"AHH! LET ME GO!"
"Uh... Are you ok?" Heihachi asked as I peeled myself from the Shoopufs leg.
"Yeah... I'm good..." I replied and turned to the Black Mage Kuro, "Is there a problem?"
"Well apparently now we gotta PAY to get on a Shoopuf." Kuro fumed, "ARG if only I could use my my Oversoul!" Everyone raised an eye at the teen.
"Look ok, I'm tired and I need rest too." Kuro growled. I stared at Kuro for a moment.
"Hey Kuro, why's your eye all twitchy?" I ducked as a giant fire blast flew over my head into the water.
"I'm just a little grumpy..."
"Maybe we could rest first then go tomorrow together, how does that sound?" I suggested.
"No way! I wasted enough time here!" Kuro argued.
"You're forgetting who has the gil here." I said tossing up our bag. We had about 1000 gil left still from the Blitzball game, I made sure we conserved our money. Course Zero going into every Hentai store in Spira didn't help... Hey Spira has pervert stores too!
"So it looks like we're at her mercy..." Sven Volfied muttered tipping his white hat down over his eyes, "Why is it that we always have such bad luck with money?"
"I'm not at fault!" Train said quickly
"Train never stops eatting, he's like one of those black holes I've read about." Eve said nonchalantly.
"You guys better getsome sleep or I won't let you guys go!"
"You know I hate you right?" Kuro grumbled.
"Um Kuro-sama...no da..." Chichiri said nervously.
"Hm?"
"Could I please see you in private for a moment please no na da?" Kuro raised a questioning eyebrow at him but agreed and they went apart from the group. I blinked suspiciously, what're those two up to?
ʓʓʓ
"Ride ze shoopuf?" the hypello asked. I rose my camera again and snapped. 5 pictures.
"HA! I told you it was a Shoopuf!" Kel yelled pointing at Zero, who just looked away.
"Che... whatever... I still say it's a Shiparf..."
"So we're going to ride, on that... Shooparf?" Oscar said pointing at the giant blue elephant. There was a sudden cracking sound and we all looked behind us at a blazing blue aura that started to singe the leaves off of the nearby trees.
"For the last time... It's a SHOOPUF! A BLOODY SHOOPUF!" Kel exclaimed and huffed taking big gasping breaths. Everyone stared at him as if he were insane.
"Ooookaaay... Let's get on!" I said and stepped onto the platform.
"Wait. Ze shoopufs willsh fallsh down with tooooo manysh peopeoabibbles." The hypello bubbled out.
Then we all kinda stared at the Hypello as if IT went insane. Course they always did have a speech problem...
"Arg, as if Barkeep wasn't annoying enough..." Kuro groaned.
"I think it said that only a few people can go on at a time." I said translating.
"Of course only YOU could understand such nonsense." Leon scoffed. I rolled my eyes in annoyance. WHY CAN'T EVERYONE STOP PICKING ON ME!
So in the end we all decided to travel with our normal groups. Kuro's group went first, then when the Shoopuf returned Kariudo's group went. When the shoopuf finally made it's way back from the other side my group climbed on. Everyone for some reason was silent. They were either looking at the scenery or twiddling their thumbs.
Instead of sittign in the seat I kneeled on the edge of the basket looking out at the water.
"Kiako-chan, you're going to fall in if you lean out any further." Heihachi said gently pulling me down.
"Yes, I doubt cats like you enjoy being wet." Kakashi said with a chuckle. I sat down and peered over my shoulder into the water. I squinted and it looked like there was a ball bobbing up and down in the water.
"Eh?" I lean over again and stared harder. Was is just my imagination? I examined the ruins for a moment and sat back down.
Maybe I'm sleepy...
"Thank you for the ride." Heihachi said politly bowing.
"No probabablemisms."
It started to turn dark and we decided to retire for the night. Surprisingly on the way to the warf thingy we met up with Kariudo again.
"Hey you guys still here?" Kel asked.
"Yeah, we decided to rest too." Fayt replied, "If you're looking for Kariudo, she's by the shore." I gave my thanks and ran off. Guess Fayt took my rotating head as a sign I was wonder where she was. I found Kariudo sitting at the waters edge with a sketch book in her arms. Yeah, like all my other friends she's also an artist, one of the best! Well, next to Kuro of course, who will still be the very best.
"Hey, so how's you pilgrimage goin'?" I asked sitting beside her.
"Not bad, it's quite enjoyable actually." Kariudo replied putting her sketch book back into her bag, "How're you?"
"Good, just that..." I glanced at the water again seeing the same ball drift past.
"Is something wrong?"
"I've been seeing that ball all day, maybe someone lost it." I said and reached out to pull it in. Suddenly a giant wave of water rose itself above my head. EH?
"Move it!" I felt a shove and tumbled in the dirt. When I shook my head to rid it of the dizziness I saw Zero floating in the air in a water bubble twitching and thrashing around.
"Zero!" Kairuodo had managed to be pulled away by Vincent, Hakkaiand Soren. Heihachi, Chichiri, Kel and Kakashi dashed onto the scene as well.
"A Spherimorph? How the hell did one of those come all the way out here?"Kel said drawig his lance.
"Ok, What is that thing and WHY the hell is it not suppose to be here?" Kakashi asked. I bit my lip. This is bad... The Spherimorph was one of the most annoying bosses I ever fought in FF X besides Yunaleska and Seymour!
"We gotta get him out of there, NOW!" Kel barked.
"What's going on?" Chichiri frowned taking off his magic smile mask. His good eye was narrowed and glaring.
"Zero's gonna drown!"
