The others had already gone. I insisted on them leaving Zatch and I at an inn, to rest. The room wasn't that big, but not small either. It had two beds, and I'd let Zatch have the larger one. And he tossed in his sleep, so I'm glad I did... I sat up against the bed frame, my legs underneath the soft, white sheets. I kept looking back at Zatch. Such strength in such a small kid. It awed me.
I took my hat off and set it on the night stand. The boy, throughout all this time, had been both peaceful and troubled in his rest. On and off... I wished I could help... I don't want to wake him, though... I figure that I'll wait until he wakes up. There was a radio playing some soft blues music from the other side of the door as a maid walked by, then vanished. I wondered if Zatch liked music. I found myself interested in my new friend, suddenly. I really wanted him to wake up...

I blinked my eyes a few times and yawned, I had no clue where I was I turned in bed and started to see a familiar figure. As my vision returned I realized that the figure I saw was N. I lunged out of bed and said, "Hello N!!! Good morning, Boy that was a good nap. What happened during my nap, anyway?" As I said that I looked for Vulcan, who was propped up against my bed like a soldier on guard duty. "Thanks Vulcan!!!" I said as I picked up my friend and waited for my question to be answered.

I smile at the boy. Awake two seconds, and already bursting with energy. "Good morning, Zatch." I look at the box-toy. "You too, Vulcan." I turn back to Zatch. "I had Kiara bring us to an Inn on Main Street, to get some proper rest... You were really strong, Zatch. But you passed out on us, little guy." I said with a nervous laugh.

"Hey!!!!" I exclaimed, "You passed out before I did, I just needed a nap that's all. I didn't wanna stay up and wait so I just fell asleep there!!!" I paused a brief moment when I started thinking a little. "Ummm N? What's Kiara? Is it good? Can I have some?"

I begin laughing. "Kiara is my friend, Zatch. She showed up after you passed out... She actually carried you here, for me. She's really kind... My first friend, actually." I lean forward from the head board. "But from the sound of it, you're hungry... I kind of am, too. Would you like to get some lunch, Zatch? My treat."

One thought popped in my head and I immediately yelled, "YELLOW TAIL!!!!!!" I was already out the door and down the hall when I realized something. I ran back to N just as fast as I left and said, "I don't know where to go."

I immediately begin laughing. I hop out of the bed and grab my hat, throwing it onto the child's head. "Come on, there are plenty of restaurants in town. I'm sure one of them has yellow tail." I hand Zatch Vulcan from the bed, where he'd left him in his rush. "I'll let you pick the place, alright, Zatch?"

"Right, I'll follow my nose then! I can always find yellow tail. But I wanna get there fast so can you hold on to my tunic for a second. Hold on tight!!!"

"Your... nose?" I ask, but I already had his tunic in hand. And the kid could have easily been flying, we were moving so fast. Eventually, we stop in front of a restaurant, grey building, with a wooden sign advertising fish specials. I pick myself up from being dragged and brush myself off. "You're still recovering, Zatch.... We should take it... easier.."

I give N a puzzled look. "What do you mean? I feel fine! All I needed to do was replenish my 'Inner Energy' I didn't get hurt in the fight, just tired." I recall what mama was saying to me one day about a young demons 'speed recovery' and say to N, "I can take a lot of hits as long as it doesn't build up too much. Usually, a day or two of rest can make me good as new unless I got hit too much."

I reluctantly nod. "If you say so. But food helps, too, you know. Whenever I was sick, my father would always send me a good meal. It always made everything better." I add with a smile. "So feel free to eat however much you want." I offer, opening the door and taking a nearby table for us.

I smile and nod. "Yeah, sure, that sounds good to me."

"Ten Yellow Tail!!!!" The waitress nods and brings the order of yellow tail, It takes me less than 30 seconds to eat each one, bone and all, and after 5 minutes i'm done. As I finish the last one I choke a little and down a glass of water to force it down. I exhale, "That was delicious N, thanks for treating me!!!! But you sure it's ok?"

I stared in fascination at the boy. I'd barely touched one of the yellow tail I'd ordered by the time he killed all ten. "Y-yeah. That's just fine... I have a full enough wallet." I reply, still marveling at the child's appetite. I take out my wallet, and begin sifting through the money, taking out the two largest bills and placing them on the table, for when the waitress came along. "Are you full? Do you want anything else?"
