Wild Day

Sanguine Rose, somewhat broken from the storm that occurred two days ago, did end up getting fixed to the point to sail again.

Ayuka waited outside and stretched from the morning until her day soon ended up getting interrupted by a loud bang from the door. She jumped, startled, and turned around as she saw Kou speeding outside from the kitchen, holding a piece of meat.

"Kou!" Tim's loud shout reverberated through the door and came barging after him, dressed in a red hoodie, black undershirt, and pants.

"That piece of meat was mine!" Kou started to sprint across the whole deck. Up the stairs to the front, back down, and even around the crow's nest. "No, this meat is mine! You've already eaten your patch!"

Both of them started to continue running in circles, quickly changing positions; they peeked from the right and left and kept catching each other.

"Come on, please, Kou! It's morning, and I'm hungry!" Kou halted for a moment sharing an unamused face. "Oh? And I'm not?!" Tim jumped forward and tried to catch Kou but rolled on the ground as Kou sidestepped.

Kou lowered his eyelid and showed Tim the tongue which irritated him. "Give me that meat or I'll bite you instead!" Tim quickly jumped to his feet and sprinted after him, nearly slipping on the spot.

Yumiko continued to observe them. Her eyes followed and swirled until she soon started to feel dizzy. "I think I'm going to throw up..." All she could see was Tim and Kou everywhere around the deck.

Kou bit into the meat while standing in front of Yumiko and frustrated Tim more. "You're doing that on purpose!" he shouted. Tim launched himself forward again, only to miss Kou and then slip on his heel. He rolled on the board, screaming, and accidentally crashed into Yumiko. Both of them became a combined ball and then bounced over the edge into the ocean with a loud splash.

Kou and Ayuka looked over the edge and sweated. "You've got to be kidding me!" Ayuka screamed and felt ashamed. Codey immediately became agitated and peeked from the forecastle.

"What is wrong with you people?! Can I have a day without you yelling?!" he angrily tossed the binoculars into the forecastle only for them to bounce straight back into his forehead, giving him a bump.

Tomomi sat on the bench reading the newspaper and continued to stay silent. "There has been more and more problems on Urban Craftsman Island according to the newspaper."

Ayuka became interested and stepped closer. "Can I see it, Tomomi?" Tomomi nodded and shared the newspaper for Ayuka to read.

Ralphie exited the kitchen and immediately called out. "Could you two be less selfish? I made the breakfast for our lovely Ayuka and Yumiko!" claimed Ralphie as he wiggled left and right, pink hearts floating out from his head. "Do you have any special orders, Ayuka-swan?" Ayuka looked at him and smiled. "Oh, yeah, please. Would you bring me some lemonade?"

"Anything for my lovely angel!" he rushed inside the kitchen and into the fridge. Kou watched Tim and Yumiko in the sea from the deck, biting into the meat and stuffing his mouth with it. Yumiko swam to the surface, dragging Tim behind her. He was squishy and barely had the chance to do anything.

"Gah, Tim!!" she began to shake his left and right, ferociously. "Please tell me you're still breathing! Come on, repeat after me; Yumiko is your dear!" Ayuka's ears immediately shook. She dropped the newspaper for it to slowly float on top of Tomomi's face as she flickered to the fence. "Yumiko! Don't you dare!" Yumiko looked up at Ayuka and mocked her a little. "Is somebody jealous, haha!"

"Yumiko!" Ayuka grabbed the fence with her fingers, nearly stabbing her nails into the wood as the fire burned behind her. Seeing that made Kou almost choke on the meat and began to cough.

"You better pull him up to the deck right now, Yumiko!" Yumiko fronted her palm and saluted her. "You got it, chica!" Ayuka got almost tempted to jump after her but restrained herself for Yumiko, safely pulling Tim on the deck.

"Ocean is terrifying when you can't swim..." Tim gargled with his water while Yumiko gently placed her palm on Tim's cheek. "There there, you're all better."

Ayuka's hair spiked up as her eyes turned red, creating an abnormal pressure that started to shake the whole ship. "You're doing it on purpose, Yumiko!! You don't want to get on my bad side!" she stayed mute for a moment and then snatched the meat from Kou and bit into him. "Hey! That-" before he finished, he swallowed his words and turned around; the terrifying expression of Ayuka.

"Nevermind, you can keep it."

Yumiko giggled one last time, nearly crying from laughter. "Okay, okay, I'm done. So, I heard something about the paper." Ayuka suddenly became casual and cooled down. "Yeah, apparently there's been-" she too was interrupted as Tim opened his mouth and bit into the whole meat. Ayuka's eyes opened wide as they trembled while she sweated.

Soon she started to feel his mouth slowly approaching her hand and started to shake it up and down. Tim's teeth bit into her hand, and as she started to increase the pace of her arm shaking up and down, Tim practically barked. His whole body was being lifted up and down like a dog.

"You're biting the wrong meat!!" Yumiko laughed hard while pressing her palm onto her chest. "You two are like husband and wife!" Ayuka froze. For a moment, she looked at Tim, seeing that his body was taped to her arm like glue. She soon became frustrated and yelled out loud.

"I said, you're biting the wrong meat!" with fast velocity, she slammed Tim into the ground through the wood into the lower deck.

Yumiko's eyes popped out. "Haaaaa?! You're gonna break the ship more than it already is!" Ayuka shook her hand to wipe off the saliva, then furiously walked away, where she cutely spoke. "Owie, that hurt..."

Kou and Yumiko looked through the wooden hole and wanted to make sure that he was alive. "Hey, you good, buddy?" Yumiko questioned, followed by Kou's statement. "Man, that's gotta be rough, huh?"

It passed a couple of hours.

Tim rested on the deck while Yumiko and Kou needed to fix it. "Codey, how much longer?" Codey scouted the whole distance, but there seemed to have been no types of islands. "We're still not at the Urban Craftsman Island. I think we'll have to wait another day before we arrive."

Tim's eyes grew unimpressed as he yawned. "The sun's getting hot. Why doesn't this ship have an umbrella or a pool? I'd love to cool down a little."

Ayuka walked past him, holding a bucket, and gently swiped her hand to the side. She hurled a bunch of ice at him that she created from her abilities and froze his body. He was burrowed under it until he screamed and jumped out from underneath, squeaking like a girl.

"So, c-cold! A-Are you c-crazy, A-Ayuka?" he hugged himself to warm up and continued to tremble from cold. "You wanted to be cooled down, so there you go."

"Y-Yeah, but I didn't ask for an entire winter. When did you even have the time to make so much ice?" Ayuka shook her shoulders and replied. "A few minutes ago. I knew you'd say it's hot, so I made them beforehand."

"Hmm...," Yumiko gently put the tip of her fingers on her lips and chuckled with a smug face. "I do wonder how she would know something like that? Maybe because-" Ayuka looked at Yumiko in an instant and dashed into her, placing her palm onto her lips. "I swear if you don't keep your mouth shut I will toss you overboard!"

Yumiko nodded repeatedly and agreed to remain silent. "Ralphie, is the food ready?" Asked Tim, calling out to him. He watched him stand in front of him. "It's been two hours since you've eaten last!! How much can your stomach take?"

Codey leaned over the crow's nest and smiled. "Eh, you know, probably about thousand of kilograms, and he still wouldn't be full." Ralphie's eyes twitched as he declined Tim's request. "I can't continuously make food. We'll run out of ingredients, and then all you'll be able to eat is wood."

Ayuka unbuttoned her shirt to reveal her bra, to cool down herself. Ralphie's eyes immediately locked onto her as she stretched, her chest bulging forward. "Ayuka-swan!!" he immediately dashed at her and reached for her hand. She blinked twice before realizing what was happening. Ralphie knelt in front of her.

"Please, allow me to help you with that." Ayuka's eyes immediately became furious as she bonked the top of Ralphie's head and quickly awarded him a bump. "No, thanks! I am NOT undressing my underwear!"

"Ayuka-swan..." Ralphie stuttered. Ayuka walked away and sat down, and leaned onto the fence as she sighed. "Now that you mention it; it is hot."

"Hey, Ayuka! If Ralphie's not going to cook, what about you?" Tim stood in front of Ayuka as he continued to excitedly bounce on his toes, his eyes sparking with meat.

She looked at him unamused. "I already told you. I am not going to cook for you anymore." Tim surrendered and then walked away upset. "Why does nobody give me food." In an instant everybody shouted at him at once; even Ralphie.

"You're the one who eats our whole food supplies!" he chuckled awkwardly and scratched the back of his head. "Hehe... true..."

"You're proud of that?!" were their final statements.
