The next morning, I set out with Kyo and Ryoma to go find lunch after we had breakfast, and Rick tagged along. We slaughtered something that seemed similar to a pig, so we were able to make bacon out of it! The thing was, Rick came out and said, “Wait! It might be poisoned, let me check.” A scanning light came out one of the holes in Rick, and then he was able to clarify that it was okay to eat. I didn’t understand why he had to do that, but at least it was okay. I just hope this wouldn’t become a regular thing.
The sad thing was, it did become regular. Every time we killed something or caught something in the stream, Rick would have to examine it. And that’s not all he’s done. He’s been making sure I wasn’t to close to the fire so I wouldn’t burn myself, followed me everywhere, even to the spring, and listened to every conversation I had. I swear to god I was going to throw Rick into the volcano at the other end of the island if this kept happening. And he worst part of it, he kept me away from the guys at all cost. For a coconut, he's a heck lot stronger than he looks.
During the night, Rick was saying to me, “Sakura, are you asleep? If you are then don’t say anything. Okay, so you’re asleep, I think.” He kept saying that, until I finally said, “I can’t sleep if you keep talking the way you are right now. So why don’t you shut up and switch to sleep mode?”
He paused, and then said, “Alright, if that is what you would like.”
Rick finally shut up, and then I was finally able to sleep, or so I thought. I couldn’t get any sleep because of my frustration. The next morning, I felt like crap because I couldn’t sleep at all. I really wished that I hadn’t found Rick, but we were stuck with him, so I had to put up with it.
“Good morning Sakura. What’s on the agenda today? Shall we go hunting, or maybe fishing. I’m not sure, so what would you like to do? If you ask me, I would like to go to the beach and take a gander at the coast.”
I was starting to boil up inside, wanting to punch Rick crazy hard, but instead, I ended up yelling, “Why don’t you shut up you stupid coconut! I’m in a bad enough mood because you kept me up all night with your yammering, and now this! And then the last couple of days, with you having to scan everything for poison, following me to the spring, which I usually enjoy some alone time, and then listening to every single conversation I have, I’m sick of it! If you want to help me, then just let me be happy. To do that, just stay out of the way and do what you want. When it comes to a time when I need help, then that is when I would like some protection. Keep all this in your data, okay?”
“Well, alright then. If that is how you feel, I will obey your wishes and give you your space.”
I sighed with relief and replied, “Thank you.”
Rick finally let me have my alone time, so then I could focus on all my old problems, like the Kyo and Ryoma problem. I still was really confused about all that, I mean, all the shit that has happened to me and the guys in the last couple of months seems impossible, but it apparently was possible. Things like curses, talking coconuts, secret agencies that try to protect random people, and so on. It just seems so impossible for stuff like this to happen.
