We woke up pretty early and the morning and set out once again, on our journey. We received glares as we exited town. I don't know what this prince did but, he's hiding something. I knew I should've stayed skeptical of him.
"I heard in the other town there is a buffet. Don't worry, I'll handle everything. It's the least I can do for you all protecting me."
Nah, he's good.
We make it to the next town and I don't hear a peep from Chika. It is peaceful but, i sense something wrong. Her face is pretty pale and she was staggering. "What' wrong?" I whispered to her.
"I don't feel to-bweeeh!" She vomiting all over my pants. I felt like I was going to throw up too. Chika sat on the carriage with Mono. She had her head in his lap. "Ahh, so relaxing!" she sighed.
She threw up on me to get to Mono? Gaara turned and eyed Chika. "Fu! Naruto!" he said calling us over.
"I think she was poisoned." Gaara stating. "You know how Chika ate all the cookies? It was most likely poisoned. Plus, she has all the symptoms of food poisoning." He was right. Mono loved sweets and the kitchen staff probably put some poison in the cookies, knowing he would go after that. That means-
I looked over to Chika and she was scrunched up in a ball, coughing. Fu ran up and grabbed her. "I'll meet you at the entrance of the festival you guys!" she sprouted her wings and fluttered away quickly. Then they disappeared from sight. "Ah, this is my fault." Mono said frowning.
"What's the problem between you and villagers anyway?"
"Well, I guess it's only necessary to tell you. When I was younger I was very mischievous and I ran around with my friends and we would ruin everything. Soon enough, my friends and I were caught and we got in a lot of trouble. The soldiers who caught us, brought us to the King. We, after all, had been breaking some pretty expensive things. That when I met the princess. She was beautiful and I tried to talk to her but, she was told not to talk to me. She turned back and smiled at me and that's when I fell for her. We secretly met and talked. One day, she read me a story. It was called Robin Hood. The villagers were not allowed to read it, just in case they tried to steal from the King and rich people. It really spoke to me. She said that when she was Queen, she wanted me to rule with her and help the less fortunate...I had to begin. So, I stole money, jewels, and gold and gave it to the poor. It was exhilarating! I stole quite a lot of money from a lot of vain, terrible people. And they eventually went bankrupt and went broke. The King was getting sick and they needed the princess to marry. She refused anyone but me. So, they were forced to choose me. People and other princes have been at my throat for the longest. And it will all be settled once I'm the King!"
Woah! He's actually pretty awesome. He did a crime to help people that weren't very rich. "I promise I'll make sure you get there!"
We arrived in town about an hour later. Fu and Chika were at the front of the festival. Chika was looking better and Fu was carrying her. "She's fine. It WAS a little food poisoning." Fu said.
"I'm so sorry, Chika." Mono said, apologizing. She didn't say anything and nodded. "You still want to enjoy the fair?" I asked. "Sure." she smiled. I wondered if she was angry at her prince.
We enjoyed lot of the festival food and it was delicious. They had various sweets and traditional meals and such. Then we went on to games. "Okay! Let's have a competition to see who can win the most games." I said, challenging them. "Of course." Fu exclaimed. Gaara just nodded. I lost a lot of games, especially to Gaara and Fu. They're good! Gaara was in the lead of course. He WAS a natural badass, that's for sure.
After, losing for quite a bit, I give up. I turn to Mono and he's quietly watching us. "Hey, Mono."
"Oh, hello Naruto! Are you enjoying your time?" Mono asked, politely.
"No, are you?" I ask
"Yes, of course, it is quite entertaining watching you all."
"Do you want to try?"
"I shouldn't."
"Come on!" I said, grabbing him.
I took him to a Kingyo Sukui. (It the game where you use a koi, a scooper, with thin material, to scoop fish out of a container of water. The fish can be substituted with plastic balls or toys.) "Ah! I hear of this game all of the time!" he eagerly grabbed a koi. "Hey, who told you you could play on my booth?" the man asked. He snatched the scoop from him and pushed him away.
"Hey, everyone, IT'S AKIHIKO!" the man yelled. Akihiko? He lied to us about his name too? I remembered my duties as his bodyguard stood in front of him. Fu, Gaara, and I stood, surrounding "Mono". Groups of people rushed forward. "Stay back." Gaara warned.
"What? Heheh. He hired ninja to protect him? Aki, no ninjas can protect you from us." a man said. "And how not?" Fu asked.
"Look my girl, you're surrounded." he said pointing to everyone. "Not only by strong men but, by people who are ninjas themselves. Just walk away and you all won't get hurt."
"No." I said.
"Come on. I'm pretty sure he lied to you this whole trip. Robin Hood? Pshh. More like your average thief. He didn't give that money away, he took it for himself!" the man said.
"No! I did not! I felt sorrow for people who had no money. You guys had to much. You all were bathed in silver and plated with gold! And you don't deserve an ounce of it." Mono exclaimed.
I knew Mono was a good person no doubt about it. I believe him. He may have lied about some things but, he was a good man. Fu grabbed Chika and Gaara grabbed Mono.
"Hey, you? Why so rude old man?" I said to him.
"Old ma- You are so disrespectful."
"Oh, yeah? Then what's the difference if you are rude to him?" I questioned.
The man said nothing for a while. "Shut up you child."
"A child has more sense than you. Plus, I've never heard of a bratty adult."
"Why I outta'!" the guy lunged for me but, a cloud of sand rose me up.
"We destroyed your cart! We'll come for you Aki!" the man screamed.
"We haven't time for this." Gaara said. Mono sat down and look down to the ground. "Beautiful." I sighed and sat down with him. We dropped by the hotel to grab our stuff, we were pretty sure that the people might come for us if they knew our location. I was already risky enough going to the festival.
"*yawn* I'm so *yawn* sleepy~" Fu said dragging to the ground and collapsing. I grabbed our things and put them on the ground. Gaara headed outside. "Gaara, you're forgetting something." I pointed to Fu. He glared at me on the way inside. He picked her up gently. As soon as he did she curled onto him. I huffed with a small smile and set her on the ground. He enveloped the luggage with sand and softly floated us all on a large sand cloud.
