had been ashamed the whole time anyway: his golden aura disappeared, his hair returned to its normal color and hung inappropriately in his face, with a huge drop over his head, he asked tonelessly how he had earned it?






In this night...




It was pitch black. The thick tree trunks formed an opaque barrier and closed off anyone who was not close enough to the small clearing.



Two figures were sitting on this small, illuminated piece of ground and were eating their food. They sat close to the fireplace and one of them filled the silence with his smacking noises.




The fire was the only source of light far and wide, the only source of heat. It's been on fire for a long time, venison is tough, they say ... not the raw meat wouldn't have been just as good, but if it were, then yes.




Paw poked around in the glowing ash, bored. "Stop it! In the end we are still in the dark because of you," hissed a dark voice.




Paw dropped the branch. "Sorry," she apologized meekly and leaned back against the trunk of her tree.




"You can smear that in your hair! Better give me that ..." and he waved his hand around in front of her "... salt" she added to the sentence and leaned over to give him the salt. "What are you doing now? Do you think you could sneak in on me?"Paw grimaced ... all that demeanor was so typical.




"What's there to grin?" he grabbed the salt from her hand and ignored her. For a little while the background noise was only filled with his smacking, until he finally reached for a short moment on the floor next to him and threw something glittering to Paw. She accepted it gratefully. Her knife ... she got it for her fifth birthday.




"Papurika, ..." he said to her back then, "... even if you can never be as strong as a real Saja-Jin, you have to learn to defend yourself, that's why you should have this knife. If if you lose it, then I'll punish you! "




She pulled it out of its sheath and looked at the little glittering thing ... "It still shines just as it did on the first day," she enthused, but her voice contained too much warmth for his standards. GOSSIP! Was it thrown a meter through the air "I don't want to hear your sentimental ramblings.We're not here to dream, damn it! Didn't you learn anything at all? "




Paw pulled his legs up and rubbed her aching cheek. "Tu ..." she wanted to start, but then she saw the dangerous glint in his eyes, so she decided to do what he would expect her to do. She took out the knife and flung it straight ahead. The blade hissed past his head with incredible precision and dug itself deep into the tree trunk behind him. "Whatever," she said indifferently and jumped to her feet again.




He proudly stood up in front of her and crossed his arms. "I like it better that way," growled the figure before he turned around to easily pull the knife out of the bark.




He was something of a father figure to Papurika, someone who taught her the rules and protected her.




Back when a poor family took him in, they had just been born. A little Saja-Jin baby ... he only vaguely remembered seeing something like this before.



He had to stand on tiptoe to peer over the edge of the bed and then their eyes met. She stretched out her little arms as if she wanted to touch him. At that time he had stretched out his hand to her and she had wrapped her little tail around him with considerable firmness ...




He shook off the memories and threw the knife back at her and went back to his place.




"Where did you find it?" Papurika asked before she sat down again, her cheek still pounding like crazy with pain but she was used to worse.




"Your friend gave it back to me," he replied, reaching for another piece of meat.




"He's not my friend," she yelled in disgust, grimacing in disgust.


He just smiled gleefully "Come on, Sneaker has always been very nice to you ..." he continued teasing when he saw the girl shudder.

"I would not have touched this slime bolt with the pincers"




The smile disappeared and his cold, emotionless voice returned "You're right! You deserve better. After all, he's dead now anyway".




Paw looked at the knife again, how shiny the blade was ... she smiled again as if the knife were an old friend she had missed a lot. She closed her eyes and lost herself in thoughts about the last few days. Only a cracking branch brought them back. Her eyes flicked open and she looked around confused. "Where ... where are you, Ve ...?"




"Pssssccchhhht !!" he closed her mouth from behind "No sound! Did you understand me!" She nodded slowly and he loosened his grip. "It's time you left again. Nobody should know about this." He stealthily looked around to both sides and jumped back into his seat.




She raised an eyebrow and grinned "All right ..." reluctantly she got up and made her way back to where she had come from a few weeks ago.When she was ready to disappear behind the first trunk, her head peeked over at him one more time. "You know, your hairstyle looks just like the fire-." KLONG! A piece of wood flew in their direction. She didn't evade. He didn't want to meet her, he certainly would never do that. He would never hurt her "Shut up and do what I tell you!" was the last thing he said and with that she finally made her way back ...




Sequel follows...






A / N: Ta Daa !! The bomb has burst! Papurika / Paw is a Saja-Jin ... Okay, it wasn't really that surprise ... It doesn't matter! In any case, we have now cleared the ship.


But you don't know who the new ominous stranger is * Muahaha *, doesn't he seem familiar to you? * look innocently into the air and whistle *




Poor Trunks! Anyone who has such embarrassing parents raise their hand (<< hand up)
