Let Her Go

Chapter 6

1st Person POV
I yawned, groggy from my good night of rest. When I opened my eyes, I saw a large face surrounded by a mane of gray- green hair. His face was too close to mine and, honestly, he freaked me out so I punched him.
He didn't even flinch or move an inch. He just looked surprised. Hey, I'm surprised I hit him too. Then he sat back on his heels. I had a better view of him. He was very muscular and hairy. He was wearing what looked like animal skins. 'Hmm. If I remember correctly, his name is Uvogin or Uvo for short,' I thought.
"Huh. The others say you can understand us. Hi there Kurokami! I'm Uvogin! Call me Uvo!" He said.
"Hi Uvo!" I exclaimed. 'Yes! I got his name right!' I mentally cheered.
He looked taken aback. "You can understand me?!"
I rolled my eyes. Shouldn't it be obvious? Well he doesn't seem like the sharpest crayon in the box. I nodded in response to his question.
"THIS IS CRAZY! HOW DID YOU GUYS FIND A BABY THAT CAN UNDERSTAND US?!?!?!?!" Uvogin yelled, making my ears ring.
"Quiet down a bit, Uvogin. I found her in an alley with a soggy note that said something about having only the strongest people around to raise Okami," Machi explained.
"Awesome! So did boss tell us when we can train her?" Uvogin smiled excitedly.
"No he told us never to train her!" Shalnark popped out from nowhere.
"WHAT?!?!?!?!" Uvogin shouted, again.
"Just kidding! You are so easy to fool," Shalnark laughed.
"To answer your question, Chrollo said to start training after she wakes up. Unfortunately, Feitan already called training her first," Machi sighed.
"Noooooooooooooo- he's going to ruin her cute little baby face!" Uvogin sulked. He seemed very pumped up before, not that Feitan cared.
And speak of the devil. Feitan came strolling in.
"Can I train her now?" Feitan asked even though he already knew the answer. Although his voice sounded monotonous, I could see the wicked, excited gleam in his eyes.
"Train who, me?" A black haired girl with glasses piped up. 'Geez how many are here? They seem to pop out of nowhere! Then again, I am in an anime so... anime logic! Anyways, I think her name is Shizuka- meaning quiet or something similar,' I thought.
Everybody else sweatdropped.
"No, Feitan will be torturing- I mean- training Kurokami," Shalnark said, not reassuring me in the slightest.
"Who's Kurokami?" Shizuka asked.
"At this rate, I'm surprised you remember your own name! Kurokami is the baby Machi brought in about two days ago. We named her Kurokami Akame because of her hair and eye color. Her nickname can be Kuro or Okami," a blond lady with short hair explained.
'Wait, when did she get here? Oh well, I think her name is Pakunoda,' I thought.
"Ohhhh yeeeeaaaah. Now I think I remember part of that! Thanks Pakunoda," Shizuka exclaimed.
"..."
'You think? Well I'm pretty sure Shizuka is the girl who forgets a lot. Basically the airhead,' I thought.
"I am still waiting to train the child," Feitan said, breaking the silence.
"As I said before- just don't permanently hurt her or kill her," Machi sighed as she handed you to him.
Everyone, except for Feitan, collectively sighed at the thought of Feitan ruining your childhood.
