The Sand Adventures
Chapter 4
[Akefia's POV]
Finally! I've arrived home, and I can see my mate Kuro is certainly making herself at home. Well that's good at least. There's just that one, tinsy winsy little thing that I sort of forgot to mention. You see, I have to introduce her to my friend Diabound. Boy...I can see that now...
Er...on second thought...maybe I better give her a heads up...
"Er...Kuro. I think I need to tell ya something."
She perked up, turned around to face me and waited in eager anticipation. Oh boy...this isn't going to be easy. I spoke slowly and regretfully.
"I sort of have a friend here in the house that you need to meet. His name is Diabound. Dia, come on out and meet our newest member of the house. Dia, this is Kuro."
She immediately squeeked out a small shriek before jumping behind me and clinging hard and fast to my shirt. I spoke very regretfully now...
"Kuro, this is my spirit and my protector, Diabound."
"Pleasure to meet you Kuro..."
She peeped her head around my head and whispered something about a big snake. Oh! Dia's tail!
Well, he is a spirit after all...
"It's okay Kuro...honestly. Dia wouldn't hurt you in the least bit. Go on..."
I ushered her in front of meet to greet Dia more properly as I spoke encouraging words to her to build up her confidence.
"Go on. Say hi to him..."
She let out a small, shy, scared, and very squeeky "Hi" before turning around and clinging on to my arm. Um...my face is getting really hot right now, feeling her press into me. Come on Akefia...focus on the task at hand...
"Dia, she'll be staying with us for the remainder of her stay. I'm sure she'll make a great helper around the house."
"Wait..."
She let go of my arm to look up at me a bit skeptically. Ah, I know what's coming next...
"I can't do that. I don't wanna be a problem..."
"Tch, nonsense. Now, no arguments, worries, or troubles. Your staying, and that's final..."
And yet...I actually do want her to stay...huh...
I must be going soft or something...
But! Nonetheless, I am utterly happy in the fact that I have a new person to keep me company from any dull days, or depressed days, or for the matter, days where I feel as though I will go insane. I just hope that I can keep my thieving on the down low. Oh well, they don't call me Akefia the thief for nothing ya know. And now...the pressing matters of tomorrow's opportunity of free charity...forcibly taken...heh heh heh
Thanks for reading all. Well, seems that Akefia may have just gotten Kuro back to his place, just one tiny problem. How is he gonna explain his next escapade to Kuro? And, why is Dia studying Kuro so much? All this and more for the next chapters. For now, please read, comment, yada yada. You know the drill. This is Muerte Xanders, signing out
