- - Beautiful Fish! - -

As curses go, this one is rather harmless. In the case of myself and Megumi, there is a large... tank with fish inside in our living room. Rather beautiful creatures, they are. However, knowing Megumi, when she sees them she may not agree.

I think I shall feed them, though they are only here for the day.

[Megumi lingers behind Mitsuhide, looking at the tank with a mixture of shock and discomfort. She recognizes them as koi, of course, and knows that they are common sights in ponds whence she came. But seeing them in large, transparent tanks . . . at very close proximity . . .]

[She squirms. And they are huge, too!]

Anata, why do you suppose we have carp?

What does this curse mean, I wonder . . .

. . . I hope that they aren't people that we know turned into fish?

[She looks at the tank in alarm.]

I do not think it's that, love.

[Mitsuhide bends over by the tank, observing the fish with a soft smile. No, these little creatures have never been human. They are what they seem to be, he is sure.]

The network mentions many people with different animals. Nobody appears to be missing. But regardless, it is a somewhat harmless curse.

[He thinks briefly about what they might eat and goes to fetch something.]

Oh, I see . . . Good, then. At least everyone is safe.

[Megumi nods, her eyes still trained on the koi swimming about in the tank. They are beautiful creatures--even if she is a little frightened of them. She glances at her beloved Mitsuhide. He looks so happy to have the koi there, and her heart melts at the sight of his smile.]

[As he goes off to fetch something for the fish to eat, she realizes once again how much he loves animals--she recalls how he saved a kitten from the snow shortly after they met and found it a good home.]

[She bites her lip. He's been so considerate of her fear and dislike of animals--particularly of dogs--all this time . . . Oh, he's so sweet . . .]

[Mitsuhide returns with scraps of lettuce, which he has cut up into small pieces.]

This should do it.

[He gives Megumi a soft, reassuring smile before walking up to the tank and dropping the lettuce in. The fish immediately respond, rushing to the surface. Mitsuhide chuckles.]

Mmm! Is it good, my friends?

I'm glad you appreciate sporadic torture. Try having a raccoon chew your hair.

[silk_in_ebony]

Chew your hair? How unfortunate, but surely you can remove it?

At least you got them nicely in a tank.

...yours was not... in a tank...

That is... not good at all. How unfortunate...

It fell on my head. I ran to the fountain with it.

Well, at least you got it water. It must have been quite the shock for you, though.
