"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY MOUNTAIN?!"
my eyes fly open from the sudden noise " AH" I scream quickly when I see how close the girl's face is to mine. wait. are they a girl? I look at the figure finally focusing on their features. their entire chest was displayed they had no shirt. the sudden sight of their open chest frightened me slightly, I Iook back at their face. they look so feminine with black to blue short hair and big green eyes. my, what a beautiful colour combo.
"HEY I'M TALKING TO YOU"
"Are you a boy or a girl?" I ask calmly avoiding their question, soothed by their features.
"what?! I'M A BOY- *fake cough*-I'M A MAN !" he explained offended.
" I'm sorry I offended you I just wasn't sure," I said smugly with slight amusement.
" a-anyways...WHAT ARE DOING HERE?!" he yelled stunned by my question still, he thought he looked quite masculine.
"I...that's none of your business," I said sassily. But I just wanted to avoid talking about my parent's death to someone I don't even know.
"HEY! YOU WONDERED ONTO MY MOUNTAIN THIS IS MY TERRITORY I DESERVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING!" he yelled once again, man is he annoying.
"could you quiet down maybe?? You're extremely loud" I said annoyed. he started to yell again. so I interrupted him mid-sentence saying. "My name's Moriko Okamoto," I said putting out my hand for him to shake.
"uh-wait...HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET OF THOSE ROPES?!" he yelled again slightly amazed. once I noticed he was interested I perked up. "Oh!-okay so I rubbed my wrists really fast against the tree to create friction and they slowly ripped apart. And when I asked if you were a boy or girl I used that as a distraction to slip my hands out of the rope!" I squealed excitedly.
He looked astonished but soon after shook his head to get rid of the thoughts he had.
" Hmm, I could do that too," the boy said puffing air into his cheeks jealously.
"huh...really?" I thought out loud. "what makes you so sure?" I said all smug to see his reaction.
"b-BECAUSE IM INOSUKE HASHIBIRA, SO I CAN DO ANYTHING" he shouted proudly making birds fly out of their nests.
"well then, hm I bet I can beat you to that tree over there!" I challenged, pointing to a tree not too far away.
"HA! PIECE OF CAKE" the young boy exclaimed dashing towards it.
I stand back for a moment about to join him, 'wait....he captured me didn't he? why should I be following him like this? I say backing up hesitantly then dashing in the opposite direction of the blue-haired boy. I heard the boy exclaim in excitement 'I'm guessing he reached the tree' I laughed to myself. I started to pick up the pace nearing the path I was on once before.
THUMP
I stop in my tracks as the boy once again falls from the trees in front of me. 'what's with this guy? how is he so fast?!' I think amazed by the boy's strength at such a young age.
"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?! HAHAHA HAHAHA," he cackles menacingly. "YOU BARGE IN ON MY MOUNTAIN, WE FIGHT," he said spreading his legs apart into a fighting stance.
' he may look strong but...I think I can find a weak point' I think to myself,
" BRING IT ON HASHIBIRA, " I said glaring at him, getting into a fighting pose as well. ' this is gonna be good I think to myself smiling.
he makes the first move and dashes toward me, in an instant, he gets low to the ground and with a swipe of his leg he makes me trip and land on my back. some sharp rocks rip through my clothes from the impact. I quickly bounce back to stand. 'this guy is quick' I think.
I kick dirt behind me as I throw myself towards him, and jab him in the sides simultaneously with both of my hands laid flat. He falls over from the impact and drags me with him. 'what do I do now? I've never been in an actual fight before' I worry. Then an idea shoots through my head and I bend down to his sides, and start...tickling him?
surprised by my sudden actions Inosuke starts squirming around and laughing non-stop. He tries to push my hands away and kick me but I continue. this is the only way I know how to fight, which is play fighting? Between laughs, he eventually spits out the words 'I' and 'surrender', I finally stop and stand only to fall back down in Laughter.
He slowly gets up and asks "wha-WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! WHY WAS I LAUGHING SO MUCH THAT WASN'T FUNNY!" he yells crossing his arms over his chest.
" I tickled you dummy!" I smile wiping away a tear that had formed from my constant laughter.
"well I don't like it" he explained while pouting.
"it's okay Inosuke!" I said more cheerful than usual to seem sarcastic as I pat his head lightly.
"HEY!" he exclaimed swatting my hand away " DONT PITY ME LIKE A HOPELESS CREATURE! I'M YOUR SUPERIOR! INOUSKE THE ACORN KING!" I looked up at him in wonder 'wow he always looks so proud even when he just lost a fight by being tickled!' I wonder to myself envious of his confidence.
"wait...did you say, acorn king?" I asked confused.
"it's one of my many, many names as the ruler of this mountain!" he exclaims once again with his hands standing proudly on his hips.
"what's an acorn?" I ask still just as confused as before.
"heh? an acorn is this thing," he says pulling out a small acorn from his pockets.
"Someone once told me they meant potential and strength!" he said getting more excited over each word he spoke.
'wow' I thought as I looked at it. 'how can something so small mean something like that?'
'an Acorn?'
