Eee! Human!

THE IMAGE of Kahaku and Susanoo kissing became a big news in the forest when Dandy asked everyone who would anyone wants a kiss. And when she was asked back who she heard it from, she would always tell it was Kahaku. They just stop talking about it when the whole forest got flooded by Kahaku's river. Well, who wouldn't get angry when his escapdes were broadcasted to everyone.

Aside from that, Dandy was still bothered from everyone's answer when she asked them. Everyone would answer her that they would kiss that someone they love. But when she asked who it was, they wouldn't tell.

"Just give it up," Naru sat beside her.

"You know what will happen, Dandy," it was Shina.

The twins are back from their 'storm tour' as they say. And now they were back to the forest to play with her. They were in their child body.

"Right" Dandy pouted her lips. "But why do they need to kiss?"

Both the twin sigh from how Dandy's mind works.

"Because it's their form of showing how much they love that someone," Naru tsked at Dandy. "Since they cannot say 'I love you' to that someone, the only way they could do was show it."

Dandy then just nodded at Naru. "That's why you don't kiss Shina?"

"Why would I kiss my sister?"

"Because you love her?"

"I can tell her I love her."

"Why isnt she disapperaring?"

Naru shouted in frustration then flew away. Shina just laughed at both of them. She cannot believe that they were having that conversation with that body of theirs. It's like children getting curious about the world.

"Dandy, I thought I already told you. The curse only happens if it involves that someone." Shina tried to explain again. "That someone whom you cannot live without."

"Like Mama?"

"No. You'd love that someone more than your mama."

Dandy's face crumpled in disbelief. She even shook her head harder. "No. That wouldn't happen. I would only have Mama."

Shina didn't say anything anymore, She just silently prayed that Dandy really wouldn't find that someone.

They were still like that, waiting for Naru to comeback when they heard a group of voice laughing and talking as if they were taunting someone.

Dandy and Shina looked at each other before they float to where it was. It was then Shina realizes that they were too close from the boarder of the Forest and the road where humans usually passed by. They stopped a top of a tree branches but still can see the group.

The forest on that side was near from a school ground. Looks like it was the end of their class and were all going home. Groups of kids were walking by but this group of boys rounding up to one kid. But the kid was a girl and was much taller than them. Red hair, and wearing a sailor uniform.

"I think she's a girl."

"Like Dandy? Are they playing?"

"Yes and no. I don't think they are playing Dandy," It was then Shina tugged Dandy away from the tree.

"They aren't?" She asked again. "Why? They should be playing, right? They are friends, right?" Shina was shaking her head when Dandy looked back. "Why?"

"I don't know, Dandy. We should just go back to your flowerbed. Someone might see us. And it will not be good."

And timing as they say is always right, even before Dandy could follow Shina, someone caught Dandy's attention. One boy came running, charging towards the group. He jumped and kicked one boy away from his way. That boy landed in front of the girl. He may be smaller but from the way he acted, he looked stronger than her.

Dandy cannot see his face but she can clearly see his short hair. It looks soft as it moves whenever he moves. It's brown color turned copper as the sun shines thru it. And it looks beautiful. It's like a gold that haven't polished yet.

"Look at them together. Both are freaks!" the other boy taunted as the other was still crying.

But the copper head boy wasn't afraid of them and just taunted them even more. The other boys backed away a little. The one boy tried to fight back but copper boy was faster and landed his fist on the boy's mouth.

Dandy gasped as the boy bled. He cried when he touched his lips and saw blood.

"Shina! The boy is bleeding. I need to help them." Dandy didn't waited for Shina to speak and went to Life Stream.

"Dandy, you cannot help them." She heard Shina speaking at her side.

She wasn't lying. The life stream ended from where they were are. The other part of Life stream can be seen from the grass below. But that was the farthest she could go. She cannot reach them.

She cannot help the boy.

Dandy opened her eyes. "Why, Shina? Why cant I help them?"

"Because the boundary of your powers are the living creatures and spirit inside the forest. Even if they enter the Forest, you still cannot help them as they are not part of this forest. Im sorry, Dandy."

She didn't answer to that and just watched as the boy with bleeding mouth runaway along with the others. She turned her attention to the boy and girl that were left alone.

She then saw the boy's face. Dandy cannot help but smiling when he saw him. His hair is longer than she thought it was. It almost hid his eyes but she cannot mistake that color.

"We have the same eye color!" Dandy shouted as she stood up from where they were hiding.

Shina pulled her back when the girl and boy looked up from where they are.

{Did they hear us? Did they see us?}

"Let's go, Dandy. It is bad if they will see us."

"Why?"

"Stop asking that why. Why aren't you running out of why's?"

This time, Dandy didnt say anything. She was still more focused on her why's. Is it because they are different from them? Or maybe because Shina was afraid to repeat the history?

Dandy just sighed and let Shina dragged her into the forest. Hoping that she would met those two kids again.

"THREE. Two. One! Ready or not. Here I come!"

Dandy giggled as she ready herself to fly. She never gets tired of playing this with Shina and Naru. And now, it was more exciting as she can also fly alone now. Before, any of the two have to carry her so they could hide from Tamotsu or Yoshiko. And it was hard for her to find either of the twins.

She flew from here and there finding her friends. Her laughed echoed throughout the forest until it was gone.

Dandy stopped mid air when she cant believe what her eyes are seeing. The boy from the other day. He was standing in her flowerbed. His feet up high no more than a foot high. Shocked was clearly seen in his face, as his mouth hung open and his movement stopped short.

"Wha...What are you doing?" she slowly flew down as they stare at each other.

"Wh…Why are you…are you flying?" The boy face pale as he asked the question.

"What are you going to do with my flowerbed?!"

"Waaa! Don't come any closer!" the boy stumbled down. And screamed some more when Dandy started running to him.

Dandy screamed as she run at him. Hoping that it would scare him as Yoshiko usually do to the small animals in the forest. Oh, sure he was scared as he tried to hide his face from her. But it made Dandy stop.

"You're bleeding," She slowly come to him. The boy look frightened but he wasn't crying, he just hid his face from her. "Let me see it," Dandy reached for the boy's hand.

Frightened as he was, the boy pushed her hand away. "Get away. Get away! Monster! Alien!" He kept shouting as he wrestle his arm in the air.

And as if it wasn't enough, he grab a handful of soil and threw it at Dandy. He kept doing that until he touched a few of Dandy's leaf and flower. The moment he pulled it out, Dandy felt a twinge in her arm and a long scratch in arm started to form.

"Stop! No! Please don't pull my flowers!" Dandy grabbed the boys hand to stop him from pulling some more.

They both stumbled on the ground. The boy was on his back as Dandy was still holding on his hand on his side. Dandy was crying from the pain and from the loss of some of her flowers.

"Please. I wont do anything to you. Just don't pull out my flowers. Please."

Dandy kept pleading as she clasped at his hand. The boy stared at her for a while. She then felt a hand wiping her tears.

"I'm sorry. I didnt mean to." He sat up and helped her, too. "Here, let me plant it again."

He didn't wait for Dandy for approval and just dig a small portion near her flowerbed and tried plating the three flowers that got pulled. He patted the soil after doing and apologetically smiled at her.

"I'm really sorry. I just got…What are you anyway? Are you flying? Or you have something in you that kept you up there?" He even scratched his head as he looked back from the tree that Dandy came from.

Dandy looked up, too as she answered him. "I can fly. And don't you know? I'm a deity of this forest. I'm Dandy. And you are?"

The boy's jaw dropped. It took a few minutes for him to recover before he started laughing. "And don't you know, I'm Ramen Rider. I'm Sora." He then extended his hands.

Dandy gave him a puzzled look. She doesn't know what Ramen Rider is and why he was extending his hands. In the end, she just shrugged and gave his hands a smack.

She will just have to ask Lord Kahaku for that. For now, he will add Sora to one of his friends.

They both smiled at each other until Yoshiko and Tamotsu came out from the bushes. And the next thing that happened was Sora screaming his lungs out and grabbed Dandy by the hand and started to sprint away from Yoshiko and Tamotsu.
