Bug Catching with Masashi [p]

Kari stopped moving after Masashi brushed out the web from her head. She made the right decision. She turned to the man to see what it was that was in her hair. However Masashi had already put the bug away and was worried about her. Kari nodded before running off. She had to find a jumping spider and she did not want to distract Masashi any more than she already had. Also, she did not want him to view her as a abnormal person after such a flawless normal behavior. He was her first close friend though she did not physically feel anything special about it. 

As she scanned the ground, she had an idea. Spiders like to pretend to fly in mid air. So maybe the spiders were in the trees. She quickly jumped into the branches and moved as cautiously as she could without making too much noise or shaking the branch excessively. The Spider was going to be found one way or another. 

"Masashi" She shouted, "Have you found any spiders?"

Kari continued searching, hunting down her prey like some sort of Sherlock Homes fuse spider lion. She jumped into one tree scouring through the leafs. Numerous tiny insects fleed their homes, none of which had 8 legs. As she pressed forward, she came across other interesting animals like a squirrel eating a nut. As soon as it eye caught a glimpse of the red hair ninja, it bailed onto the ground and disappeared into a bush. While cute, it was not a spider. Kari started to doubt their were any spiders in the trees. It kind of made sense though sense the creatures hunting things that flew using traps or just jumped on the. It was probably dangerous to jump from a tree if they were that small.

Kari sighed, not quite happy about this blunder in logic. She jumped down from her branch and saw something jump pass her face. Was that a spider? It was green and quick but that was all Kari could pick up. It had to have a speed of at least 75. Kari turned to see the leafs of the bush shaking still. She ran to the bush and as she opened the leaves, the green blur jumped onto her chest and then bounced off. Kari stumbled and fell onto her buttock, watching the blur bounce onto a tree. Kari grabbed her net and jumped off the ground. This bug was going to get capture, spider or not. It was a matter of pride. She chase the bug, swinging wildly as it bounced around till it disappeared.

Kari looked around, whispering for the bug to come to her. As she passed a tree, she saw the green bug standing in the light that sneaked passed the leaves. It had its back towards the ninja. It had 6 legs with the back one 2 times bigger than the front ones. It had what look like long wings which hid on its rectangular body. It was not a spider but it was Kari's victim. It tested her ninja prowess so it needed to be punished. It was only logical or at least she told herself that. She slowly creep up with her net raised. The bug did not move, giving her all the time she needed. Now she just needed to strike. She brought the net down but a quick black line dashed across the ground. Kari picked up the net but no bug was their. She followed the motion and saw a black creature with 8 legs gnawing at the green bug. She quickly picked up her case and slammed it down over the creature. It was a success.

Kari returned out of the forest with the spider in hand. Now she was ready to draw and plan out her first puppet. She thanked Masashi for his help and offered him the mushrooms she found before running off. It was nice to have a close friend, but work came first. She had goals herself and she needed to be stronger to complete them.

As soon as he had finished brushing off her head, Kari immediately bounded off again. This time she jumped into the trees. Masashi would chuckle softly to himself as he her her shout out "Masashi" She shouted, "Have you found any spiders?" “Nothing yet!” He would shout in response. He was looking around, but was unable to find the elusive arachnid that Kari was looking for. ‘I’m sure they’ll turn up somewhere.’ He thought to himself as he continued at his own pace. He was not in a hurry, since there was lots to find here, and it was not something one wanted to rush. Medicine was a very precise and obscure art, and one should always take their time when exploring for items that could be of use.



For the amount of time that he spent gathering material, he had acquired a fairly decent variety of things. It was of course a very small bounty that the preserve had to offer. It would seem though that Kari was done for the day, so Masashi would escort her back to the village and come back some other time. For his trouble she had given him a couple of mushrooms that she had found, before heading back home. He would make his way back to his own residence to start learning more about what he had discovered.
