Taking a Sick Day: Chapter Four
Eggs, Chickens, and Pointless Ducks
Nami's Pov
I left the tool shed and barn, making my way across the yard to the chicken coop. I heard Kyo shuffling behind me, ready to point out if I did anything wrong.
I opened the door, hit with the smell of farm fowl. Grimacing, I went to the first hen I found and picked it up. There was an egg underneath, and I set the hen aside and picked it up instead. I repeated this with the other two hens, making the mistake of picking up the rooster only once and getting pecked. Then came the ducks. I handed the three eggs to Kyo, who in turn put them in a little wire basket he had with him.
I picked up the first duck, expecting to find an egg underneath.
There was nothing. I reasoned it must be a boy and set it down. I repeated it with the other two and came up with the same results.
Kyo opened his mouth to speak, but I cut him off.
"Let me guess; they don't lay eggs," I said, my tone sharp. He nodded quietly, his little smile in place. I took the basket from him and opened the chicken coop door, storming outside where I let out an annoyed roar.
"WHY THE HECK WOULD YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T PROFIT YOU IN ANY WAY?!" I screeched, stomping to the storage unit. "IT'S POINTLESS!"
Kyo apparently found my suffering quite amusing, seeing as when I looked behind me he was rolling on the ground with laughter.
I quickly shoved the eggs in a carton and pushed them in the storage box with the rest of the food products.
"Why does he have something that's of no use to him?" I muttered, fuming all the way back to the tool shed where Kyo was waiting for me. He held out a watering can.
"Time to water the crops," he said in his cheery, little boy voice.
(A/N: Okay, so it wasn't much longer, but I liked it. Plus, there's not much to do with ducks anyway. (I could have her get sick of them and go after them with an ax... But then the child care people would just come and take Kyo away and send her to the asylum. Oh, well; it was worth a shot. REVIEW!!
