Volume 2 Chapter 5: Deeper Into The Forest
"Miyuki." Keith walked up to Miyuki, who looked seriously peeved.
"How about you give Mir a one-time break."
"Bo!" Miyuki gave a cold grunt.
"He learned his lesson when he chased after me. Did you not?" Keith turned to Mir.
"Po! Po! Po!" Mir quickly shouted. No need to comprehend what he was saying. His voice and tone were enough to make anyone understand that was a yes.
"See, he understands." Keith turned back to Miyuki.
"Bo." But Miyuki made a low growl. She wasn't satisfied with this. Keith added, "How about this. He isn't allowed to eat vegetables for a week?"
"Bo!" Mir heard something he shouldn't have. For the Samuis, vegetables were their favorite treat. And that included the babies. It was a delicious meal.
Taking it away would be a blow to them!
"Po!" Miyuki liked the idea as she nodded.
"Alright, one week." Keith nodded and got her agreement. Miyuki was happy and nudged his body.
"Alright. I will watch Inti and the others for a bit." Miyuki needed time to eat. And when that happened, Keith and Aria would babysit the others.
"Po!" Miyuki strolled towards the herd. When that happened, the four little snowballs looked at him cutely.
"Aww, there, there. Learn from this. Don't ever make your mother mad." Keith said with a stern expression. And it seemed they understood as they nodded. Mother is scary when angry!
Like that, Keith started to watch over them. Cloud slept on the grass, and Lily was playing with Aria. And Inti was messing around with the frisbee.
Keith patted Mir's head when he noticed how downcasted he was, "Miyuki isn't mad at you. She was worried about you running away."
"Po." Mir understood. But it looked up, "Po."
Keith gave a smile, "No."
Mir gave him a cute tilt plus a nudge. But Keith wasn't budging, "You still have to be punished for leaving without telling Miyuki. So no vegetables for a week." Even if he understood, that didn't mean he shouldn't be punished.
"Po! Po!" Mir jumped into Keith's lap and moved around, trying to act cuter. But Keith shook his head, "Sorry. But being cute isn't going to help you in this situation." He didn't want Miyuki to be mad at him.
It was asking for trouble.
"Po!" Mir cried. But this was something Keith had to put his foot down. He was afraid the others would follow his lead. That was something he didn't want to happen.
Keith continued to lay around the grass, watching the kids. But that all came to a stop after Miyuki returned.
"Shiro," Keith walked over to him, "I'm going to head deeper into the forest this time," This was the other reason why Keith came to the forest this time.
He scoured the forest for quite some time now. But it was only the outside perimeter. He hadn't gone deeper into it. And he wanted to do it this time.
"Bo."
Keith nodded and asked, "Have you entered the deeper sections of the forest before?" He was curious about it. He wanted to prepare as much as possible.
"Bo."
"Hmm? What do you mean we don't need to worry about it?" Keith was confused. The Samui was considered to be one of the strongest monsters ever. And Michael stated the deeper they entered the forest, the more dangerous it became.
"Po Po!"
"You made a deal?" Keith was surprised. He wanted to ask more about it, but Shiro looked away, not wanting to be asked.
Keith sighed, "Aria, let's go." There was no point in asking him for more information.
"Ho!" Aria shouted as she was ready to go in. But they weren't going in there alone.
"Po!" Mir came and tackled him. Keith frowned, "You can't come with us."
"Bo!" Mir gave a pleading look.
"Do you not remember what happened last time?" Because I haven't. Mir gave him a heart attack.
"Bo Bo Bo!" Mir bit into Keith's clothes, not wanting to be left out. But while he was doing that, Keith was in turmoil. If Keith could do it, he would bring Mir with him.
But he was too weak.
"Po!" Before Keith could bring him back to Miyuki, Shiro turned his head and shouted.
"Huh? It's alright to bring him. Are you sure?" Keith didn't think Shiro would allow him to go out.
"Bo Bo."
"What do you mean it's harmless."
"Bo." Shiro went back to being silent and went back to sleep. Keith's eyes twitched, "Can you tell me the whole story?!" This snowball kept leaving out the important information!
"Hah," Keith sighed deeply, "Mir, you can come with us." Shiro may be a Samui with few words, but he wouldn't cause harm to his kin. Not for his son, especially.
"But you have to stay by my side. Don't cause any trouble either."
"Po!" Mir smiled as he jumped on Keith's shoulders. This had become his spot. Hah. Keith sighed as he set off. Besides Shiro, the other Samuis saw them set off.
