Ran - Unusual Happenings

29

As you lay by the fire you become sleepy and start to doze, hearing movement you wake up and look around when a hand lands on your shoulder "just us, get in the van and sleep, we will put this away. Any movement will be us" blinking then giving a sleepy smile you get up and stumble, your helped then placed in bed as the door is closed.

You drop straight to sleep, all four look at the shear amount of stuff you had brought back and sighed, finding places for all of it, they manage to move it to safe areas, while they checked what was in the barrels, they saw the fish in oil and smiled then two more barrels, both had salt moving the salt they see fish the same with the other.

Shaking their heads as a smaller tub with salt in had shellfish they smile at the bottles and jars of fish products, as it all goes away they see rolls of fabric, shoes and clothing, bedding and blankets, the seeds, plants and cook ware were a shock along with the large bottles of oil, vinegar and water.

As they go through it Mikey says "we should of moved away earlier" closing his eyes, Sanzu puts a hand on his shoulder "do not blame yourself for that. We all agreed to stay at that time" he hangs his head and nods all put away they brave the rain to go home, saying "night" to the animals and rushing to their own caravan.

Waking up to noise you roll out of bed and hit the floor, sitting up and looking around you remember yesterday and wake up going out you see them moving the caravans, then laying the frame for the cover, adding wood to the fire you place water on as you splash cold water on your face, then making a coffee you wear shoes and wander out.

Looking up you see that the rain had finally stopped you saw them and watched for a bit before, sorting out the snake skins, then looking about and grabbing the cart and the plants then going over to the planting area, you wave and go over, seeing what you had the English plants go in one area then you plant the corn and wheat, the squash and aubergine plants all with a bit of room between, checking you move over and see the potatoes, so adding both of yours to it.

Checking you plant the cabbage, then seeing the spring onions, tomato and cucumbers, moving them to the other side, placing in along with the herbs and garlic you found humming as you find the seeds and sprinkle them over the area, different seeds get a few thrown about to grow or not, you find the plant food and feed them all.

They were busy putting up the cover when they stopped and watched you throw seeds about then water with plant food and shook their heads, Rindou mumbles "so much for farming? Plant wherever and scatter the seeds" they all laughed having heard you smile "seeds get scattered anyway, how do you think the plants do it?".

Winking as you find and area and scatter the apple and pear seeds then burying a few apricot pits and hope for the best, moving the full barrels into the barn when you look what is where and see the wood store smiling wide then grabbing yours adding it to the piles, seeing the bbq and charcoal then the spare shed you purse your lips then ask "what's this one for?".

They shrug you think "if we can get shelves, it could be the spare food store?" going over and helping them get the cover over the frame you giggle and whistle the horses come out you find rope tying it to the cover then then hoses "pull slowly and gently" nods and snickers, they pull it as you pull it down on the sides.

They watch and sigh as they help you, when it's all the way over "woaw" they stop you remove the ropes "thank you" kisses for both you start to move it around so the canvas corresponds with the frame, they had dug the frame down and you noticed they managed to cement it and frown.

Seeing you looking Ran says "we had some in the trucks" you blink and smile then fasten the cover over, your hair getting in the way, growling you grab your knife and cut it off then bury it in the same place as before, they watch and grimace, Sanzu said "you look cute with longer hair Hunny".

Glancing at him as you go back to fastening the cover "it's not good to look feminine in this world, especially if out alone. Plus it gets in the way" they look at each other and make eye contact thinking then turn green and nod at your meaning, finished you smile an arm comes over your shoulder as your steered to the spare van.

Looking at him he winks as you chuckle, opening the door your pushed inside, gasping as you look around then smile big and hug him as he chuckles taking off the dirty shoes you look around then see the shower asking "where do we put the water?" laughing "we will show you but it's full" giggling.

You look around and say "I think this is nicer than our house was. I have two bedrooms, nice" they frown confused as your planning where everything can go when Mikey asks "you lived in a one bedroom with someone else?" you nod "yeah, I lived with him then when I got older he lived with me. I couldn't afford a bigger place and he was unable to get a job".

The frowns deepened "sorry Hun, but who was it?" looking at them and smiling "my dad" then smiling as you think about his face if he saw this place and giggle, Sanzu flinched and asked "your guardian?" looking at them you smile "his name was Ace, so I had to be Royal?" they snicker when Rindou says "because you need an Ace to make a Royal flush?" you giggle and nod.
