In the next chapter, there'll be a new bully victim and remember that brute Guido from the first chapter. Well, this came out while I was brainstorming at Cici's Pizza friday and prior to this, what if there's another Guido, but totally different, like a different personality and a different species? May seem confusing, but you'll get the idea.
Chapter 2: Two Different Guidos
The next day, Musaki was at the Sacred peach Tree, doing some meditating while the wind starts blowing through his fur, trying to get over what had happened yesterday and a couple of minutes later, Po came up behind him and said, "Lil' Saki?"
Musaki opened his eyes, turns around and sees Po standing behind him. He chuckled softly and asked, "What's up?"
"I heard about what you did back there yesterday. Gotta say, you did really awesome there."
Musaki didn't expect for Po to hear about what had happened to defend Naomi and he said, "It was nothing. I just don't like the fact that someone would bully someone for no reason."
Po sighed heavily and said, "People like that are the worst."
"I know. I've been there before as the bully victim."
Po sat down next to him, puts his hand on his shoulder and said, "You did me really proud, Lil' Saki. It takes a lot of guts to do something like that."
"Well thanks. How did you hear about it anyway?"
"I told him myself."
Then, he turns around and to his surprise, Naomi comes in and he starts smiling and asked, "How'd you get here?"
"Shifu took me in. I'm living here now. Isn't that cool?"
Musaki became overjoyed by the news and he said, "Oh, very. You'll grow to like it here in the palace."
"I think I'm starting to." She said, giggling.
"How'd you get adopted?"
"When I got back from the orphanage yesterday, Po was there with The Five and Shifu showing off his awesome moves and then, when we met, I told him everything about you and how you saved me and Shifu asked me if I want to live here and I said yes and Po picked me up and brought me here this morning."
Musaki chuckled and said, "Wow. That's really amazing."
"I know, right?"
Later on, Musaki and Naomi were walking around the valley, heading towards a manga bookstore to check out what's new there. Musaki looks at a new one that tells a story about a young wolf desperately looking for a way to find a family who will accept him and Naomi looks at one that tells of a girl with powers that wants to have friends and will be willing to protect them.
While they were checking out some books, Musaki walked across one section and he suddenly bumped into another person that was in the way. They both fell down with books scattered across the floor and the young person got up, looked at him and said, "I'm so sorry. I didn't even see you there."
Musaki groans, picks himself up and said, "It's cool. Gotta look where you're going, okay?"
The young person looked up with sadness and guilt over this and he repeated, "I'm really sorry."
Musaki picks up some books and said, "You're okay."
He then sees a young wolf, 14 years old, silver and grey fur, 5'5, 142 pounds, green-hazel eyes, wears a ragged t-shirt and old torn shorts and has a wild spiky mohawk on the top of his head and he seemed kinda nervous around Musaki and he didn't say anything and just kinda looked the other side. Musaki immediately studied his shyness and he said, "You're shy, aren't you?"
He looked at him and asked in fear, "Wh-what gave it away?"
"I can tell because you're kinda quiet and you're afraid of something."
The young wolf felt like Musaki was right and he felt a similar emotion to him when meeting new people and he said, "It's like...you can understand me."
Musaki chuckles softly and said, "I've been there."
The young wolf sighed heavily, scratched the back of his neck and said, "Well...sometimes at the orphanage, I'm afraid of making new friends because most people see me as weird and often times I get picked on because I'm small or weird and they would call me names like dork, geek, dweeb, midget but that's nothing compared to these names: Gweeb, Gui-weirdo, guiweasel and it would really hurt, you know?"
"Ouch. That's harsh."
"But...I'm used to it. I'm used to people just making fun of me because I look funny and smaller than everyone."
Musaki felt like this person's in enough pain because of it and said, "You shouldn't let what they say get to you. No one deserves that."
"I know."
"What's your name?"
The young wolf gulps and said, nervously, "My name is..."
"Hey, Gui-weirdo!"
The young wolf and Musaki turned around and they saw Guido coming in front of him and said, "I thought I told you not to come around places where I can see your ugly mug!"
"I-I'm sorry...I just wanted to go get some books."
He grabbed him by the neck, choking him and said, "You make me sick!"
"Hey! That's uncalled for!" Musaki shouted.
Guido looks up and sees Musaki standing there and he groans, rolls his eyes and said, "You again? What are you doing here?"
"Leave this wolf alone!"
"Who, Guido?"
He laughed at him and Musaki got confused by the young wolf's name and then he asked, "You have the same name?"
"Yep, but in different species."
"Listen, can you let me go, please?" Guido asked.
Bully Guido growls at him and said, "Not until I'm finished with you!"
Suddenly, Naomi comes in looking angry and said, "Buttface! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"
"This is none of your business! And why are you adopted by those pathetic kung-fu masters? Did they take pity on a monster like you?"
Naomi felt really mad and wanted to fight him and she said, "Don't you ever call me that!"
"Make me!"
Suddenly, one store clerk ended this and said, "Okay, that's enough! There's gonna be no fighting here, all right?"
"We're sorry. This guy was just leaving." Musaki said, then turning to Bully Guido to put down the other Guido down.
He puts him down and then looked at all three of them and the other Guido and told him, "You better be lucky your friends saved your gui-weeby butt!"
He left the store and then Musaki turned to the wolf and asked, "Your name's Guido too?"
"Yeah. But here's the difference...I'm a wolf and he's a boar and he's older than me. At the orphanage, one would actually call me 'Wolf Guido' and the other one was 'Bully Guido.' He's the bully and I'm the bully victim." the wolf Guido explained.
"Ohh...I got it...I think. Well anyways, I'm Musaki and this is my friend Naomi."
"You're at the Bao Gu Orphanage too?" asked Naomi.
"Yeah for like 5 years, but I've been told I'll never have a family because I'm...ugly."
"Hey, kid. Never say that. Any family would be grateful to have you in their family." the book clerk said.
Wolf Guido looked at him and said, "I know, but would they really accept someone like me?"
"Yeah, they would."
He didn't believe it at first, but there was a small amount of hope in him and said, "I guess so."
"Hey, Jubei." Musaki said.
Jubei looked surprised to see Musaki there and said, "Hey, Musaki! How ya been?"
"Good. You?"
"Pretty good."
"How'd you know me?"
"Ichi's been telling me about you."
"Oh, did he? How is he, by the way?"
"The kid's great."
Naomi asked him, "You know him?"
"Well, my godson told me all about him and from what I see, he seems like a pretty good kid."
"Ichi's been telling me about you as well."
"How much?"
"That you work here."
Jubei chuckled sarcastically and said, "That's swell."
As soon as they got their books, Wolf Guido looks at Musaki and said, "Thanks for sticking up for me."
"Hey, you're cool. Never forget that."
"Okay."
"Anyways, we gotta get going. Nice meeting you, Wolf Guido." Naomi said.
"Same here."
Wolf Guido sees them walk away and he feels as if for the first time in his life, he finally found some good friends and he let out a smile and he felt really good about himself.
What do ya think? Also, you guys have any suggestions for different names for the bully victim Guido so people won't be confused by the bully Guido? The nicknames I came up with were while I was eating pizza at Cici's Pizza. Kinda ironic, huh? Well, anyways stay tuned for more! Also, if you have any suggestions for later chapters, let me know. BTW, Jubei is also owned by Tan-Tan Tanuki.
