I laughed. "My stomach agrees. I'd love to eat some chicken right now."I nodded.

I chase after my brother pulling Alisa along.

Sora: He's trying to leave us.

"He's a real piece of work. It's hard to believe you two are related. You both are like polar opposites."I said as I was following both of them.

Sora: What do you mean?

"Oh, nothing. Forget it."I told him while smiling. "I'm really glad I met you two, even if your brother gets on my nerves quite a bit."I stated.

Sora: No tell me Im curious.

"Curiousity killed the cat, or at least the old saying goes. I don't wanna say,i'll let you figure it out for yourself."I replied.

Sora: Come on don't treat me like a kid. Tell me.
I stop and stare at her.

"yes, please tell us." I state while wrapping my arms around the shoulders of both of them. I was o ly able to manage this because while they were busy talking I decided to circle back and sneak up on them from behind. "and I know I'm a piece if work. Art work that is." I say while I jokingly flex every muscle that I can.

Sora: Onii-chan you are funny.

I then punch him in the gut jokingly knowing it hardly hurt him at all.

Sora: We are moving kinda slow so let's hurry up.

"if you really wanna go fast I could just carry you. I'm pretty sure the lovely lady here could keep up with me if I'm carrying some dead weight."

Sora: Hey I'm not dead weight! Don't make me blast you!

I give him an intense soul percing stare.

"oh really? Why not prove that you can?" I said as I pick him up and put him in a firemans carry. "well, let's get going."

"Hey! Put me down Niichan! That's not fair. You're taking advantage of me with your height and strength."



I squirm to try to loosen the grip he had on me.

"haha, not a chance, I feel it would be best of we got out of the forest as soon as possible, so I think carrying you would be the fastest option."
With that I start going for a light jog, taking care to not hurt sora, and making sure alisa can keep up

I let myself go limp in his arms. After a moment I remember a weakness that my brother had. Using a quiet spell I create an illusion of a hot woman walking towards us. She stops my brother in his tracks as he walked closer.

While I'm running I see something in the corner of my eye. No, someone. A very hot someone indeed. I stop suddenly and I drop my brother without thought. The lady was walking towards me so I started walking towards her.
"hey there, how's it goin?"
No reply
"so, that's how you like to play it."
Again, no reply, something was wrong. She kept on walking, right past me, and the rest of us. I turn towards sora who has a little smirk on his face.
"Was that your idea?"

I smile casually. "Maybe..." I laugh and run past him. "Ill race you to the village!" I continue on the path trying to leave him behind.

"oh, I see how it is, Hmphh, you forget the length of my strides."
I sprint in Sora's wake, taking such strides that they would put a balverine's legs to shame. (ps, actually how I run...)
It takes a while to catch up, longer than I'm proud to admit,, but unfortunately I gave him to much of a head start. At this point I start shuffling sideways managing to keep up with him. I starting lagging behind in that method so I start running like a normal person, forgetting how slow it is to move. The race is fairly even though.

"I wont let you win that easily!" Sora starts using more energy to increase his speed a little. He started to gain the lead but was getting to tired to continue at that speed.

i use all remaining reserves of strength and direct them into my legs, working much the same way as NOS does in cars. i pass my little brother with ease and burst out of the trees. i slow down as soon as possible and turn to face the fast approaching sora

Sora catches up and runs fully into his older brother nearly knocking him over. "O-Okay you win big brother. You're still faster than I am."
