Chapter 2

About one week after you found Kinu…

An ordinary day, the same as any other day. Customers, coming and going, not giving any mind to your boredom. Once-in-a-while making small talk about shows and release dates and other nonsense like arguing over which character is better. Just 'your' average, boring, ordinary day. Well… that's just how it started out. Later you got a call.

"Your new little finding is all cleaned and feeling much better now. You can come pick her up today. She'd be very pleased to see her beautiful rescuer," Tim from the animal clinic down the street exclaimed over the phone.

"Good to hear that! Has it really been about a week," you ask looking at the calendar. "Feels more like a month. Are you ever going to come over and at least try to beat me at DDR again? Because it would currently help my time pass. It's to slow around here." And whining over the phone wasn't going to help.

"I'm sorry it's so boring for you but I've been really busy with helping around here. But you can come visit when you come to get little miss Ki… nu…,"he pronounced slowly to not slur it and mess-up while say it. He mispronounced it anyway. But you'd comment on it later.

"Well tell her I'll be there in about an hour. I'll be there once I close-up shop and run a little errand. Okay?" Fiddling with one of your cell phone charms that were sticking out of your jacket's pocket, you waited for a reply.

"All righty! See you when you come to pick her up!" And with that the dial tone buzzed through your ear until you finally hit the end button on the shop's phone and placing it back on its holder. After grabbing your wallet and checking for money, you shoved it into a pocket, you grabbed your keys off you went to go close the already empty shop.

Being about 8:00pm now most of the day people went home but for you. You had somewhere to go. Walking up to the doors of 'Petco' you breathed out a sigh of relief that it was still open. Shuffling in, you quickly spot the bins of dog bones lay heaped. You grab a bag to put a dog bone in but instead you grabbed 2. You never liked odd numbers and you just had a feeling you'd need it. Getting into line, you quickly get checked out, after fiddling with your wallet and change, and off you went to pickup little miss Kinu.

Getting there at about 8:30pm there was only one person behind the desk and it was good old Tim. His glasses and all making him look like a big cuddly teddy bear. " Hello my dear Timothy. How's my beautiful Silk?" Leaning on the counter with a big smile spread across your face.

"Silk? It that what her name translates to?" Tim turns around to see you. "How you doing?" showing a cheek-to-cheek smile.

"Good, good. How much will it be this time?" automatically pulling out your wallet.

"Nothing, it's on the house." You stare up blankly at him as if he just grew another head.

"What do you mean!?" This was definitely a first time hearing that from anyone, anywhere.

"All the other people that work here think that you deserve a reward for all your help you've done. Almost all the pet owners around here now you as an 'animal hero' so we all pitched in money to pay off the fee. What do you think of that?" He folded his arms as he waited for praise, and he got just that after you stopped gawking.

"I can't believe you!" You literally jumped over the counter and gave him a HUGE hug. "You're the best Tim!"

"You're welcome", he replies giving you a bone breaking bear hug.

"Can't… Breathe…"

"Whoops!" Releasing you, "Sorry about that", he apologizes, and rubs the back of his head. "You ready to take her home?"

"No duh, that's why I came here in the first place, you big dumdum."

"What, you didn't come here for me?" And with that he gives you the world's largest puppy eyes that were and still, and forever will be, irresistible.

"Fine. I also came to see you but please stop. You're making me annoyed." Your mind was saying, "This is definitely to good to be true! Remember Murphy's law?! 'If anything can go wrong, it will.' You know something will happen later and it'll be something that will definitelyimpact your life."

Life always had a habit of biting you in the butt with this lovely little thing called equivalent exchange. If good things happen to you there is almost always a drastic event that just ruins your whole day like when you have a fantastic day and then found out that one of your very few, bi, 'guy' friends was taken out of school because he was being harassed. Ya, that day really sucked, but it did have its perks.

If you had TONS of bad luck one day, that you'd categorized as 'series of unfortunate events', you'd always have some absolutely perfect event like on the one time after one dreadful day in high school you want to see the live-action death note movie in the theaters, and got there about an hour and a half early and ended up finding one of your con buddy's in the back row sitting with two other girls that you found to be yaoi fan girls. Ya… That ended up being a really great day.

You'll get use to it… eventually. But for the time being things are looking up… well… so far.

Signing the board with the very little amount of paper work that you had you thought that even that this day could end now and it would be well evened out. But there was still plenty of time between now and midnight. The gods just wouldn't leave you alone.

Leaving with Kinu's new leash in hand you where prepared to leave to go back home before it was to late to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep before you had to wake-up to stock the shelves and open shop tomorrow. The bag of dog treats hung from one of your belt-loops swaying back and forth as started to now leave the pet clinic.

"Havea good night you two and be careful!", Tim said behind the counter about to leave to the back to put the new file for Kinu in the back with the rest.

"Before I go, one more thing Tim."

"Yes?"

"It's pronounced Kinu. Like 'ki' as in key and 'nu' nut or nun."

"You mean I actually pronounced it wrong?" the puppy eyes where back.

"Yep." Pushing the door open and stepping out, you only here him say one last thing before the door shut behind you.

"You meanie." You simply smirked and started your way back to the shop with the dog walking next to you at the same pace as your own. Not barking but looking around and glancing up at you when she thought you weren't paying attention. 'How strange for a dog to not bark especially in this environment.' As to break the silence you start humming a nameless tune as you and Kinu walk through the dark but bright streets of Boise's not so lively nightlife.

End of Chapter 2.
