Something Kawaii This Way Comes (part 2)
"Oh, he's so cute!" Sasami gushed as she saw the baby cabbit for
the first time.
The baby cabbit opened his eyes and looked up at Sasami.
//Tell them I'm alive.// he wanted to tell her. //Tell the
Galaxy Police I'm here!//
But all he could actually say was:
"Miya! Miya miya miya!!"
Which, needless to say, fell just a tad short of the mark.
It also was entirely misunderstood as cries of hunger from
Ryo-ohki who nudged a carrot at him.
Mihoshi walked in and spotted him as he was examining the
carrot.
//Oh no....// he groaned inwardly. He moved quickly, but
clumsily, putting Ryo-ohki between himself and Mihoshi.
"He's adorable." Mihoshi sulked. "But why is he afraid of me?"
"Maybe he's got a brain?" Ryoko pondered from where she'd been
sitting for the last several minutes. She reached down and
picked up the tiny cabbit.
"Miya?" The cabbit asked her.
Ryoko kissed the cabbit on the tip of his nose. "Oh, you poor
thing. Washu hasn't even given you a name, has she?"
"Miya." The cabbit replied.
"Well, let me think." She looked him over. "Well, you kinda
remind me of this guy I met in 1970. Probably just the color of
your fur. But just in case you are him come back to life. I'm
gonna give you a name that I know would really annoy him."
"Miya?" The cabbit asked.
Ryoko grinned wickedly.
"Hello, Fluffy." She told him.
