Little Red… What?
“Ginta, Hakaku, story.”
“Well what kind of story do you want, Tsuki?” Ginta asked.
“I want a good story. No princesses this time!”
“Hmm, a good story that lacks princesses...”
“What about an ogre tale, Tsuki?” Hakaku asked.
“Too scary!” he cried.
“Yeah, remember how your last story gave him nightmares?” Ginta said.
“How could I forget? Kouga all but chased me down when he found out the reason why Tsuki kept clinging to him all night long.”
“I got one!” Ginta said. “This is the story of Little Red Wolf. In a clan far, far, to the west, there lived a little wolf-demon girl with white fur and red hair. She had been sent by her parents to go and visit her Grandpa in the northern clan. This girl was a good girl, so she obeyed her parents’ wishes and set out on the long journey to her Grandpa’s den, but along the way, she hit a snag.”
“What? What?” Tsuki asked.
“Little Red Wolf ran into a human.”
“Yuck!”
“He said, ‘Little Red, Little Red, where do you head?’
But the girl was a clever sort. She saw that the man had a knife in his hand she had this to retort.
‘Son of man, son of man, I see that silver knife in your hand. You do not want me, for I’m small and skinny. My fur would fetch such a small price. I know a place where some golden foxes base; their fur would be very nice.’
So she lead the man to a small river where indeed the golden foxes swam, but what the man did not know was that the golden foxes fur glows like the sun when it’s mad. And so this man, he went and ran right on home to his hut, for he had learned if you mess with Little Red, you’re going to get burned in the butt. The end.”
“You got bored and made that ending up,” Hakaku remarked. “She didn’t even get to Grandpa’s den.”
“Well if you’re so smart, why don’t you tell him what happens next, Hakaku?”
“I would, but he’s sleeping. Your story bored him so much he deiced to take a nap instead.”
“Why can’t we ever win with this kid?” Ginta muttered.
