The Adventures of Team Bones And Fluffy, the hound Betty's 1,000 year grudge

Chapter three:

 So Nio ended up staying with us. It's been about two weeks since she moved in. Kat liked the extra help, and mouth to feed. Nio looked for Betty with no luck. M-A-S and I tried to help, although we seemed to be agitating her with our smart- elic mouths. That didn't stop us though. At the dinner table Nio seemed deep in thought. M-A-S and I attempted to get a rise out of her, as usual, but to no avail. We soon gave up when all we got was "yeah, sure," and "ok," out of her.

After dinner she stood up without a word. She placed her plate in the sink and walked over to the couch by the door. She put her weapons on swords, saw blades, and daggers. Kat has her take them off for meals. "Where are you going? It will be dark in an hour, you know?" Kat asked. Nio had a slightly depressed tone, "just for a walk I'll be back here soon." With that Nio left the house. We just took a look at each other, and continued what we were doing. It was about dark. Nio was deep in the woods for her walk. It was getting hard to see, so Nio began to head back. All Nio was thinking was, "How can I stop her when I can't even find her. Maybe I should just go home."

She began to hear noises that drew her from her thoughts. The noise came from the bushes. Nio went on defence. She drew her sword, and planted her feet firmly on the ground. "Who's there?" She questioned. Nio smelled the air. "The air has a smell of a Mhechian." She analyzed the sent more. "A a flame type, Male, and." Nio paused, "No, can't be."

It was dead dark at this point. Nio was still on defence. She backed up and fell off a hill backwards. She landed on the hard ground. She attempted to stand up, but her ankle was hurt. She couldn't move. "Owe, shit." More movement in the distance. Nio couldn't stand so she couldn't run. A black figure aroused from the darkness. Nio hissed, witch didn't anything other than make more noise. "Relax, I'm not going to hurt you," the black figure says. Nio draws her sword. "Oh yea, if a stranger said that to you, would you listen?" Nio questioned angrily.

"But, what if I wasn't a stranger." The black figure steps in the moonlight. "Arrow?" Nio paused. "Yes, so you do remember-" Nio cut him off when she flung her saw blade at him. She missed, and caught when it came back around. "Traitor!" Nio yelled. "What?" "You left right before the war. You-" Nio cut herself off as she remembered what he did years ago in school. "Look I know what I did, but can I explain myself?" Nio thought it over for a moment. She sighed, he was her own kind, and it is curtesy on her planet was to listen. "Fine, you have five minutes explain yourself, or I will end you." "You I never wanted to be a high council. I had no reason to be. However my father and grandfather," Arrow paused. "They wanted otherwise. I only wanted to grow up normal, and then have a family one day, if I stayed that would have never happened.

"My father and grandfather wanted me to be like them," Arrow finished. "Well, that doesn't change how you acted to me years ago." Arrow cupped her face in his hand, maybe not a good idea. "Nio, I lied about how I felt about you. I was trying to impress my new friends. I wanted to go to the dance with you, but they would have hated me." Arrow paused. Nio was blushing like crazy. Arrow continued, "I thought you were pretty. I didn't even go to the dance, because I wanted to go with you. I'm sorry, Nio." Nio face was beyond red. Arrow, being stupid, had the idea to kiss Nio. The mood was right, the moonlight shining on the both of them, and no sound to be heard besides the cricket in the night. Nio thought to herself, "Do I still like him? After all this time. He playing me, I know he is. I can't-" Nio found herself lost in his eyes. She was also closing into his kiss.

Just then, from behind Arrow, a Mhechian pet appeared and landed on Arrow's head. It was a blank, no color. Right after a red Mhechian pet with a flame mark on it back, chased the other off Arrow's head as it landed on his head. The red one followed the other, they appeared to be playing. Arrow was distracted, and Nio snapped out of the trance he put her under.

Nio grew aggravated, with not only Arrow, but herself. She then slapped him dead in the face. "Owe, jeez what was that for?" Arrow asked in pain from the slap. "Baka!" "What?" Arrow asked. "Baka! Don't try anything. I despise you, and I will never forgive you for what you did." "I-I-" "Don't even try! I'm not gonna let you trick me!"

Just then, Nio stood up in anger, but went back down in pain. Her ankle was still injured. "You ok?" Arrow asked in concern. "Y-yeah, j-just hurts a bit." Nio attempted trying to stand again. "You're lying." Arrow kneels to help her. "I-I got it." "No, Nio, you don't." "Thanks, but no thanks, sir, I'm not weak." Arrow wasn't taking no for an answer. He bent down and picked her up bridal style. "Hey put me down," Nio demanded. "Nope, you need help and you know it." Nio processed what was happening, she blushed. Arrow began flyinging, and following after were the two Mhechian cat creatures.

"I cannot take you home if you don't tell me where you live," Arrow said. Nio explained, and he took her back to M-A-S and my place. After a while, Arrow burst through our front door with Nio in his arms. "Great more people. I hate extra people," M-A-S stated to himself. "H-hi, this is Arrow," Nio informed us. "Yay! more mouths to feed." Kat really likes to cook for people.

"Great, someone else in my room," I grumbled. "I can't stay," Arrow informed us. "You have to. We are not sending you home this late," Kat insitted. Arrow's expression dropped. He soon spoke, "Well, I don't actually have a home. I'm homeless." "Then you're not leaving, no ifs, ands, or buts." "Are you sure I won't be a bother?" he asked. "Of course not. I love to cook for people, and an extra hand will do me some good," Kat continued to insist. "Well who can argue with that." "Well you know what would be better?" Nio started, but before anyone could respond she continued, "you putting me down." Arrow blushed realizing he was still holding her the way he was. "Take her down stair," Kat said finally. He did as such. Welp time for the next chapter, with two annoying cat things, and their pets. "Hey what did I say?" Nio question angrily. "Welp like I said, next chapter." "Fluffy!"

Mean while:

On a ship deep in space, a dictar sit in his control room watching on his many planets through his drone cameras. He gaze reverts to one computer monitor in particular. A familiar face, but not a good face to remember. His drones caught glimpse of, a face one unkind, and unwelcoming. "Guards! Guards! Get in here now!," The dictator yelled. They rushed to him quickly "Yes, my lord," The head guard said bowing at the dictator's feet.

"It's that bitch! End her now!" "My lord, please explain." "There's not much to be said. Just know I said end her. Now! Track her down, get us to that planet, and make her suffer!" The guards bowed, "yes, my lord." "She not getting away this time. I won't lose to her again!" he yelled slamming his hand on his control panel.
