NEW TRICKS

Miki opened the door out into the dock, pausing for a second to bask in the sunshine. Her long, black hair hung around her body, covered in a red one-piece swimsuit that she thought was a little too revealing, if only because it was a bit 'fitted'. Or maybe she was just maturing… she'd never described herself as 'vain', but she'd paused to admire herself in the mirror once or twice; her figure was closer to the woman she would become than the woman she had been.

The reason for the swimsuit was an obvious one: She was going for a swim. She loved the summer, and since fall was growing closer by the day, she'd chosen to make the most of it and be thankful she was home-schooled by Miyuki and Takuya. Besides, she'd earned a break after spending her morning pulling pieces of giant insect exoskeleton from Godzilla's back teeth, and now was an ideal time; Osaki and Akane were sparring, Takuya was rigging up some new equipment, and Miyuki was analysing saliva samples left on something that had been misfortunate enough to end up on Godzilla's bad side. The only people around the base not busy were herself and…

Kazama.

There he was, standing on the edge of the pier with a barrel stood next to him, distinguished by his spiky mane of brownish-red hair.

Godzilla was lying in the water in front of him, sprawled lazily on his chest with only his back, his massive, jagged spinal plates, his reptilian head covered in charcoal-grey scales and some parts of his long tail visible.

"C'mon, already!" Kazama shouted, pulling another fish out of the half-full barrel and taking a few steps to the side, holding it forward, "Roll over!"

Godzilla simply let out a sharp snort, sending a burst of salty seawater splashing all over Kazama.

"Do I want to know?" Miki asked as she looked down at the reeking barrel.

"Hey, he's the 180-foot household pet, right?" Kazama asked.

"Pet?" Miki repeated darkly, raising one eyebrow, crossing her arms and tapping one foot on the floor.

"Well, I'm trying to teach him some tricks. 'Cept he doesn't do what I tell him."

"I wonder why," Miki rolled her eyes.

Kazama threw the fish forward and to the side, hoping Godzilla would roll over for it… instead, Godzilla snapped his jaws forward and caught the snack in mid-air before returning to his previous position.

"See?" Kazama lamented, "What gives?"

"You don't have a psychic link," Miki smirked.

"Yeah, but come on. Does he even know the rest of us exist?"

Miki thought back for a second.

"He knows I hang around with a bunch of weird little things, and apart from one that seems to already be taken, he thinks there isn't a suitable mate for me in the bunch."

"Ouch."

"Pervert," Miki joked. "But other than that, I'm not sure."

"Well at least he does what you tell him," Kazama shrugged, "Me, I've been out here for hours and…"

They both suddenly froze at the sound of scraping, crunching metal, followed by the gnashing of huge teeth.

When Kazama turned round, the barrel of fish was gone, and Godzilla, now standing up in the water, was licking his lips with a minivan-sized tongue.

"Dude!" Kazama exclaimed, as Miki tried to suppress a fit of giggles, "Come on! That stuff cost me 2,000 Yen!"

Godzilla simply lay down in the water, rumbling contentedly.

"This sucks," Kazama lamented, turning around. "Screw this. I'm gonna go mess with some of the stuff in Takuya's lab."

Miki looked down, spying a single fish that remained on the ground.

Would she do it? Right in front of Kazama? Add insult to injury?

Yes.

She picked up the fish, holding it high above her head and, with a practiced mental exercise, activating the link.

"Roll over, Goji," She said sweetly.

Godzilla immediately rolled over onto his back in the water, continuing to end up back on his front. Miki threw the fish, and he swiftly caught it between his jaws.

"Good boy," Miki smiled, giving the saurian a pat on the snout, before turning and grinning at Kazama.

"I will get you for that," Kazama said darkly, narrowing his eyes.

"I'm sure," Miki smiled, before turning and diving into the water alongside Godzilla.

"OK," Kazama thought out loud, "If that's the way you want it…"

24 hours later

"Where is it?" Miki thought out loud as she rummaged through the pile of clothes on the floor of her quarters, "No… no…"

The door slid open as Kazama entered, munching on a packet of Doritos.

"Lose something, kid?" He asked.

"Have you seen my swimsuit?" Miki asked. "I was sure I left it here yesterday…"

"Yeah, I think it's on the washing line outside," Kazama shrugged as he walked it off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miki had grabbed her swimsuit and, with it being another scorching day, made straight for the water and taken a running dive off the pier.

Splashing up through the surface, she pushed her hair back and relaxed in the waves, floating a few feet from the pier.

Then, she suddenly noticed it.

She sensed the inhuman mind press into the back of her own, as she so often did. She was sensing Godzilla through the link, as usual, but something was wrong…

He was… hungry. He was growing closer, she could feel the strength of the link increasing. But he was getting ready to eat…

He knew it was her, and obviously he wasn't going to eat her. She could tell that. So what was he about to eat…?

Looking down, as the massive, dark shape approached through the water, she suddenly caught a faint whiff of something… a small coming from her… no, not from her… from her swimsuit…

"Why does my swimsuit smell of fish?" She thought out loud, before her eyes widened. "Uh-oh."

The water exploded, and Miki felt Godzilla's warm, wet, squishy tongue press against her as she was covered by water. Along with the gushing sounds of the exploding surf, there was a tearing noise as something was torn from her body, and suddenly she felt extremely cold, as the relative tightness of the swimsuit ceased at the same time.

Then, it was over, she was bobbing in the water again, and Godzilla had surfaced from the neck-up beside her…

With a few straps of red fabric hanging from his teeth.

Miki looked down, her face turning bright red as she realised she was completely naked.

"KAZAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That sort of ran away with itself, but hopefully Kazama's 'revenge' was enjoyable. Big thanks to GodzillaGuy for the concept of Kazama trying to teach Godzilla tricks. If anyone else has any suggestions, humorous or otherwise, feel free to suggest any.

The fish-eating thing is the one thing I liked about the US Godzilla movie. Since this Godzilla is meant to be an animal, it makes more sense to me than having him absorb radiation.
