Geisha boy

What's a friend?

Mu's POV

My head aches as my eyes slowly start to pry open. I feel like I'm hungover as my head pound while I try to sit myself up. It looks to be about sunset which means I've missed almost the entire day. What a great way to start training....

Once I my focus my attention back to the room, I see Daiyu talking to Mushu while they cook something that looks ungodly. She notices I'm awake and instantly prances over, shoves me back onto my back, before rushing back over to grab her 'food' . It looks like she was attempting to make some form of stir-fry. I could help but to smile a bit as I watched her and Mushu struggle to try to cook. In all honesty it was actually kind of ... Well ... sweet...

Mushu catches me glancing over and smirks " feeling better guysha ? ".

" kinda ..., my head's still pounding " I confess as Daiyu brings me a bowl of her um...stir-fry. The vegetables are chopped in all kinds of odd shapes and the noodles look like they could fall apart with a poke of a feather.

" uh what is this ? " I ask in the nicest way I can muster.

Without hesitation Mushu replies happily " I cut the vegetables with my teeth and Daiyu made the rest of this crap. "

Even though it's clear she knows she can't cook she still manages to some how shove it down my resisting throat. I gag and choke, but still try to manage a smile to show them I appreciate their efforts. Even though Mushu it's convinced " woman, do you not know how to cook ?? It looks like he's sicker than when he woke up !"

" I'm sorry ! " she apologizes before snapping , " I've been training my whole life, I don't have time to cook. But thanks for the stereotype "

Mushu's face cringes as he realizes how bad that actually sounded. " ya Mushu , women can do anything now-a-days . You need to get your head out of the old ages", I add in before forcing them to let on my feet.

" old ages ?! Boy do you realize what you just said about your own mother ?! " he gasped insulted, " how old do you think I am ?! "

I smirk at him a bit after regaining my focus and balance. " you both are accident ", I joke as I leave the tent to go out to the fire for cooking. I begin to cook myself some REAL stir-fry with the left over vegetables and such. Mushu and Daiyu come out to watch me after they finish arguing. I could tell they were impressed once I finished and served them both a bowl.

" this is amazing ! When did you have time to learn this ?! " Daiyu asks in pure bliss.

" let's just say I've had nothing but alone time " I reply trying to make it sound like a joke, even though for some reason I feel my heart sink a little.

I've never realized how much it sucked to not have friends when I was growing up...

It would've been fun .
