"You are going to need a new outfit or a new look" Kamodichi said. "What's wrong with it now" Ataku asked. Kamodichi looked at Ataku like she was serious. She was wearing a red shirt that looked too small for her and a plain long purple skirt. She had no shoes on while he wore a gray tunic with his regular armor and neat hair. Ataku's hair was in a ponytail. Ataku stared at herself, "I guess I could change". "This may come as a surprise to you but I would ask you to become bright knight. Now its OK if want to stay a peasant" he said. Ataku gritted her teeth at the insult,"but you have the will of a fighter and the good nature to help people. I know you don't want everyone including me to make you feel like you are helpless. So what do you say" Kamodichi offered.
"You mean I could be a bright knight" Ataku's eyes shined with happiness. "Well you did say we used to be the knights of justice" he added. "Right you guys fight for the people" Ataku nodded. "Yes we just go a different way of doing it" Kamodichi said. "If it means helping other people who don't suffer the same fate as us then yeah I will become a bright knight" Ataku smiled. "Alright then" Kamodichi smiled back. They headed down a hall, Ataku's smile had crossed his mind. He felt the urge to keep that smile on her face. He turned to look at her, why did he feel there was something more to her than what they both knew?
Its only been a short period of time since they were partnered together but he sensed she had a great but terrible destiny ahead of her. What if finding her memory was he last thing he could ever do for her. Seek the fairy soul for the fairy soul the world will be saved. It echoed in Kamodichi's head. He didn't know what was coming but he had to find the fairy soul before it was too late. They had arrived at a seamstress room. "Tanaka are you here" Kamodichi called. A pink haired, green eyed beauty appeared from behind a dressing room door. "Kamodichi!" Her voice became a high pitch shriek. She jumped in his arms and hugged him so tightly. "Hey Tanaka can you do something for me" Kamodichi struggled to say. "Of course anything you want" she said happily.
"Can you make an outfit for my partner here. She really needs it" he said. She jumped off him and eyed Ataku like she was a raw fish and was being forced to eat it. "Are you here to steal my Kamodichi from me" she accused. "Are you crazy. I not stealing anything, you can have him" she yelled at the girl. "Short tempered huh, of course you couldn't steal him away from me if you begged on your knees like a dog" Tanaka said harshly. "You are a dog, you'd probably sniff his butt in fact you do it everyday" Ataku said. "Well I look pretty doing it" Tanaka said. "Ha you're the ugliest dog alive, cats would even be afraid to scratch you. Humans would pick the cat over you" Ataku told her. "Kamodichi your pet rat is being mean to me" Tanaka cried out. "I will show you a rat, mutt" Ataku threatened. "No fighting, this is a efficient structure, Tanaka make her outfit or else" Kamodichi commanded. "Yes sir my apologies" she smiled at Kamodichi but glared at Ataku. Ataku folded her arms and narrowed her eyes. "Come on Rat" Tanaka called behind her. "Raccoon" Ataku called her back. Tanaka measured Ataku's body. Kamodichi watched from the door way. Tanaka couldn't help but stare at Ataku's body. She filled out everywhere. Tanaka couldn't help but be jealous, Ataku might be a Rat but she could take anyone she wanted.
The seamstress went into the back room and began sowing. "How long are we going to stay here" Ataku looked to Kamodichi. "Tanaka is a very advanced seamstress, you don't have long" Kamodichi said. "Done!" Tanaka shouted at the top of her lungs. Tanaka brought around her fabric. "OK, here" Tanaka handed her the fabric. "go back there and try it on" Tanaka said.
Ataku took the outfit and went to the dressing room. She put everything on and came out. Her first piece was a long sleeve dress piece that split to show her pants. Her arms had blue sleeves that exposed her shoulders. The rest rapped around her neck. The chest plate was gray and expanded out to blue tips of dress feeling fabric. She wore gray pants and boots. The inside of the torso piece was purple. It enhanced the color of her pants.
She walked out the dress room. "Wow this is so pretty" Ataku gasped. Tanaka smiled at her work, "perfect". Tanaka walked around Ataku. She took the ponytail a loose. Ataku's hair fell slowly down her back. Kamodichi stared at how long her hair was. "That's better" Tanaka said. "But why" Ataku said. "You don't look like yourself with your hair up. You look like someone trying to be someone you aren't" Tanaka said. Ataku was surprised at this explanation. What did that mean? "You sure do look amazing" Kamodichi complimented. "Thank you Tanaka" Kamodichi said. "Anything for you" Tanaka beamed.
"Yeah thank you" Ataku nodded to Tanaka and went to Kamodichi. She's finally being polite, "Say what's your name" Tanaka asked. "Ataku" Ataku answered. "Maybe we didn't get on so well but I know you are cool" Tanaka said. "Yeah" Ataku nodded and walked to Kamodichi. Kamodichi and Ataku left. "Ataku, why do I feel your presence is necessary" Tanaka whispered.
