[A/N]: Eh, I decided that I should start writing again; personally I'm not enjoying myself. It feels like I'm doing another paper for school… I'm so freaking tired of school! Ugh, I can't wait to switch schools, so I won't have to deal with all this B.S. If you're wondering what I've been doing for the past 2 months or whatever, I was playing Sims 3—yup, Sims. I keep restarting and making my families from scratch; meaning no 'motherlode'. To some of you it might seem stupid, but it's so boring with cheats. Anyways, chapters will be twice a month due to school—I deserve the right to go to a good culinary school so… stuff it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harvest Moon, Natsume does. All I own are the plots. This story is based on: Harvest Moon: Animal Parade.

Chapter 5

Okay, so I know what you guys are thinking, 'Is she going to freak out…?' or 'is he gonna punch him…?'

Oh, don't get me wrong, I was going to gladly do both. If I'd have known that he'd be stuck, maybe I wouldn't have suggested this plan. Okay, okay… maybe I did force him to appear human, but it was for the best… right…? If I didn't, he would have been alone his whole… existence. It's rather sad that I'm his only friend, if he can call me that. He doesn't even really enjoy my company!

Even though I already had the idea, I just had to ask, "So… what exactly would happen if you were to, you know, stay like this?"

Ignis walked toward the bed, probably examining it for mites or something.

"It's not that dirty," I mumbled, "I clean it every week…"

He probably heard me, but he didn't say anything.

He lifted the comforter, still looking for some sort of filth. I knew he was doing it to mock me… he's such an *arse…

"Well, if I were to be stuck in this form for a long amount of time, then I would most likely to become human." He said.

Oh, my TOM FREAKING CRUISE! See, this is exactly why I didn't want to agree to be his friend. I know, I know—it was the right thing to do; but I'm the type of person to mess things up!

I collapsed down onto one of the chairs in the room. It made a weird creaking sound… probably should check on it later…

"Goddess, this is all my fault," I brought my hands to my face. "If I hadn't had forced you to do this… you probably wouldn't be stuck like this…"

He nodded, still looking at the bed with a weird facial expression on his face.

Still looking at the bed he said, "Even if you're the cause of the problem, there's nothing we can do about it; what's done it done."

Even though that was Ignis's weird way of trying to console me, it still didn't make me feel any better. He was just basically rubbing it in my face!

"You know… that strangely… doesn't make me feel any better."

Of course, knowing him he didn't seem offended about it. "All we can do is move on Akari, what's done is done."

He still didn't look at me though. "Great, he's mad at me." I thought.

It's my entirely fault.

. . . . . .

The day progressed on, me doing my daily farm chores, and Ignis… in the house watching television. I asked him if he wanted to join me, because if he was stuck like this for awhile, then it'd be better for both of us if he could help around the farm. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. Being the 'God of all things awsome'—as I so dubbed him—he wouldn't dare go near anything filthy. So, I was out of luck in that department.

Then, I asked him if he would deliver a few things to the people in town for me—he said that it'd be a hassle, that he doesn't know even know anyone's names to actually deliver anything. I said I'd give him a map, showing the places and names of the people, but he didn't want to do that either; selfish git.

So, I had him come with me while I made my rounds around town. He was reluctant to come, but decided it was better than lying around my house all day. Actually, his exact words were, "It's better than being stuck inside your small shack all day…"

Of course I was offended. My house is way better than what it looked like from when I first moved in. Plus, most of my money goes to seeds, animal feed and other things rather than the size of my house. It's mainly just me anyways, so what's the need for a larger one?

The walk to Harmonica Town was rather uneventful; Ignis was behind me, kicking every other stone that crossed his path, and me walking quickly… because the sound of his feet shuffling was rather irritating. We didn't talk. I was still thinking about the events that led up to this whole stupid fiasco. Thoughts like, 'Why did I force him to do this?' and, 'This whole ordeal is my fault!' kept popping in and out of my mind.

Even though Ignis had told me not to worry about it, I just couldn't stop thinking that it was. If I'd known that this would have happened, then I wouldn't have forced him into this.

This is my fault, now I have to find a way how to fix this.

I started watching this anime called Soul Eater. If you've already watched it then… good for you; if not, then go on Funimation or Youtube and watch it right now! Next chapter will probably be three weeks from now, make sure to mark it on your calendar!

*arse—slang for butt, ass, ect.
