Best buddy! by AkajiLion

Best buddy!

AkajiLion

This is a story by me, Akaji the lion. As I travel through a lot of world, met a lot of new faces and made friends, I also had created a lots of precious memories.
This is a story from the large record of Akaji's sketchbook. What I would like to tell you today, is a story of an encounter of Akaji and a wolf. He is not an ordinary wolf like the others, he is a samurai, a teenager same as me, and most of all, he is a pooltoy being. When Akaji's first met, he is a combination of cute and cool. Samurai travel around and seldom ask for helping to defeat the treat to earn money from the villagers, as what Akaji knows about samurai, he is also a "toy" for everyone. But besides that, the most fascinate part is that, this wolf draws great, he is kind-hearted, so that a lot of people likes him, be friends with him, even sometimes just "play" him. When Akaji saw what he did, he decided to watch what he comes out on art. Akaji might have failed his first encounter, because what he notice, there is so many great friends surrounding him and he is like having lots of fun there. Akaji was a rookie, so he bare in mind that he (a chibi lion kid) will never be a friend with the great samurai, it might be hard to come in with such a big crowd of people.

But one day, the samurai has grew tired, that he begins to hate being controlled by and he found out a lot of his friends are just "used" him to their own benefits. He slowly forgot his personality and pride as a wolf, as a samurai. So he decided to hide, hide from everyone, the whole world, village has no sign of him. He felt he is still too childish, lost pride and believes to people. Even some are good friends, but they are too rely, he felt tired. Because they are good friends, he felt responsible, so he decided to disappear. Before he left from the village, Akaji noticed. Akaji himself, has something told him, he should gave strength and support to all he cares, so.... it's the very first time, that the wolf finally reply him.

During the blank period of the wolf, Akaji finds him and chats with him secretly, share a lot of story, about people, culture, country and even problems. They are starting to be as close as best friends. Akaji promised him, that this secret will be only 2 of us, the wolf put his faith, and both of them, look and check on each other.

In the village, all the people who "were" the wolf's friend, are sad, emotional, they try to write a letter of something, but no reply at all. Akaji just quite and continue his life in this village as normal traveler. While what happen is, Akaji starts to learn a lot of things, more than he previously did. Allows him to meet some of the close friend of the wolf, and even gets himself a little fame. The wolf knows all along, and as he starts to recover himself, he felt annoyance, to Akaji. Akaji is SUPER WISE, that he actually idiot enough to tell everything. He didn't release what he did, starts to affect the wolf's feelings. The wolf starts to feel, Akaji is famous, so I am not good enough to be with him, I should banish him away forever. So there is a day, the wolf secretly visited him. That day is some hard days that Akaji has a bunch of stuff to do, he gets quite pressured. So what happen is, the wolf harshly tell him to leave him alone, he felt better without Akaji....

As he left, I believe he can hear, Akaji's cries. Akaji felt, like a knife cut his heart, but it doesn't stay for long. He started to think hard, apologizes, do whatever he can, and slowly, he has completed all the task. He cries, but he didn't give up, he starts to recall again from the very beginning, the reason, the eagerness, of himself wished to be friends with this wolf.

The wolf looks at what he did, and starts to surprise and felt his fault. He decided to tell the truth, about he did that because he felt, he doesn't strong and suitable to be called as Akaji's friend. He has prepared to get the punishment from Akaji, but instead of punishment, Akaji comes and huggle him tight, "I have been waiting for you.^^" and give him a blushy smile with some tears. To his surprise, Akaji wants him to become his "buddy/partner", to travel as well. What Akaji means by "buddy/partner" is not like ordinary friends, is more over that, and it's not love as well. This friendship will be grown until eternity, take care of each other, share happiness and sadness together, and have fun together in art. The wolf looked at this fellow in front of him, and a vision "his younger self" is suddenly popped out. Makishi thought.

"Why should he did everything, all of this, for me? We are strangers, and don't even close enough, he is just fancinate by my art."
"He is such idiot, keep thinking about others, and didn't even realize he is being used...............like......me....."

He stops, and whimper softly, "If no one is gonna take care of him, he will soon fall as I did." And give a friendly smile to Akaji. Akaji just smile, and pass him a sketchbook, a new and the front page, is a picture he did for him, since the first time he met the wolf. The wolf looked at it, eyes started to watery, even pooltoy aren't suppose to be able to tear. He gave Akaji a squeaky hug, and agreed. And Akaji reply him, "If anyone bullies you, I will eat him up, hehe~" with that idiot smile, but cute. He looks at this lion fellow, and smile a bit.

After 8 months, Akaji carries his bag and come to where the wolf hide and stay currently. Waiting... and he comes out, with a new look and a smile on his face again. "Shall we go?" Akaji says. The wolf replied, "Yep, it's about time for the samurai to return." And so, they start their journey again. A new story of Akaji and Makishi begins.
