Hot & Cold 2

What about me?, Yuna woke up from sleep in the middle of the night. You were calling my name, Keyoshi! What's wrong?

Ah, I'm so sorry. Go back to sleep! I just had a dream, I added and moved to caress Yuna's hair to motion her back to sleep.

Oh, about me, and what about? Keyoshi, is this one of those nights were you dream about me sexually! Stop it right this minute!, Yuna said beginning to get angry.

No, but do you want me to? Hihi!

What, the …..no, of course not!

I'm kidding Yuna. Just go back to sleep I'll come to bed in a minute! Hihi! She's so cute when she's angry! But kidding aside! What is it about this necklace that that monster lion vomited. This is Leon's (Spirit King) necklace. I better cut this in half and give the other to Yuna to protect her as well, Demonoids are the scariest and I donlt want her to die in Yomi. Here we come Yoshi! I hope that your isle is as easy as they say when battling monsters and dragons is concerned!, Keyoshi thought. She walked in to the cave and slept beside Yuna. She touched Yuna's face and kissed her cheek before going back to sleep. Yuna opened her eyes and smiled hugging Keyoshi since it's a bit cold under the sea this very time of the night. They brought dried bear skins and furs as jackets and blankets but as if they aren't enough with the maybe negative 15 degrees temperature under Yoshi Island caves called Coven.

Keyoshi woke up since she heard gritting of teeth and shaking of somebody beside her. Yuna?..

Yuna's body is shaking, though she is asleep, her body couldn't stop its chills. Keyoshi wanted to wake her up but she didn't want to since they had been walking, hiking and all just to get here so both of them of pretty tired from the venture. Keyoshi decided to hug Yuna and when she still shivered from the cold. The warrior champion tightly pulled Yuna closer to her and cuddled her, enough with the blankets and the furs to keep the warmth and stay alive for the games.

Thank the gods for Yuna stopped shivering and now snored while sleeping. She hugged me like she never wanted to let go and smiled murmuring words which I couldn't understand. Then I heard my name mentioned. Aha…are you giving out spells or something to summon whatever spirit out there to whatever you want me to be in your life? That my friends is so twisted and overly confident, thinking that Yuna is like obsessed with me or what! Haha…just kidding!, I thought and hugged Yuna in return to her summoning the spirits and all.

What I didn't know was, even if Yuna is asleep she is praying. Summoning the spirit gods and goddesses to protect me and our way to Yoshi and Yomi Islands. She had been doing this ever since she met me that day at the forest and when we were little as I was annoying her before, but felt the need to help me with her prayers. This I knew after a decade of being with her in the future.

Keyoshi to earth, hello! What's wrong?

Ah…haha…you're awake and alive! Thank the gods!

Yes, I am and what's wrong, what happened last night?

Aye! You don't remember? Hmm…that's weird after touching me anywhere and hugging me, you don't….what the hell is wrong…

Who are you talking to?

Ah, no one. It's good you're okay now! So, let's start the day right and move forward! To Yoshi?

Yes…to Yoshi. I'm ready!

Good!, I added, still confused why Yuna didn't remember what happened last night. Maybe she is terribly sick then or something to forget about our first time to do it, or you know, lovemaking. Just kidding, nothing happened between us! Hehehe!

Yuna still looking at me bewildered why I was focusing my eyes on you, my audience which I really couldn't see from beyond but I know you can hear me and maybe are reading this book eventually.

Ah…sorry, after you!, I cried letting Yuna walk before me out of the Coven.

This cave is so beautiful. These crystals, are they real or just sparkling because the light that flickers here, I asked as I observe how the stones sparkle in front of the light Yuna and I are carrying the were placed inside the dry bears skin. The skins are thin but sturdy that the stones reflects fine from it. These pieces of… what do you call them again?, I asked while carrying dozens of minerals I scraped from the cave we slept into since they have full of them earlier.

I think they are called hackmanites! Minerals that have afterglow effect especially when it's dark, Yuna explained while walking the underground cave that must have been 500 feet long and maybe about 3000 feet wide, high, to Yoshi Island.

Oh I see! They are amazing! Hmm…This cave must have been here for decades, but it's just now that I walked here. It is special since I am with you, hehe!, I added just to spark romance in a place where there are so many colorful stones that it up our way to Yoshi.

Haha! Stop kidding around we need to be ready for monsters and dragons, we might encounter one or two, like…..now!!!!!, Yuna shouted the last word when a dragon appeared. It is about 1000 feet high from my calculation and it is not happy to see us, Yuna thought.

Aha...ahhhhhh!!! You blasted beast!, I said using my sword to hit it from head to toes. It tried to avoid me but when I sliced its side, the dragon growled and ran towards the path Yuna and I were going to. It turned that the fearsome dragon is a she, a mother that has two siblings in her care when Yuna and I decided to follow her. She made a stone cradle with animal furs enveloping the dragonlings. She is licking them one by one as if telling them that she wasn't able to bring food or the day for them.
