Chapter 3 Bonding
(The next day)
Anna woke up to her phone alarm going off, she yawned and grabbed her phone. She looked at her phone screen and saw that it was now 6 Am in the morning.
"*Yawn* It's morning and I'm awake, I'm! Awake Now!" Anna exclaimed as she sat up in her bed.
She then looked to her left side and saw Zinsu was reading through her school books that were all scattered all over the floor.
"And apparently I'm still in a nightmare." Anna stated.
She then groaned and laid back down on her bed, frustrated that she wasn't imagining it all.
"What have you been up to?" Anna asked and looked over to Zinsu.
"Research, like I said I'm very curious about Earth. I like to learn as much as I can and I made lots of progress in my research." Zinsu explained as he closed up the book he was reading.
"Well it looks like you're a fast reader, but seriously why are you here on Earth in the first place?! And why did you bond with me out of any other humans on earth?!" Anna asked angrily.
"To answer your first question, my original host and I came here by chance as our escape pod didn't have a set location on it. The second question, I only have a limited time frame for when I can go without a host. I needed one that could walk, talk, and think, because you were the only one in the area that fit everything I needed. I went for you. I would've explained it sooner, but I didn't speak your language around that time." Zinsu explained.
"Well how do you know it now then?" Anna asked.
"Well after merging with you I was able to learn all the languages you knew. That's how I'm able to speak your language now." Zinsu explained.
"Alright, but still, I'm not alright with the idea you're in my body and the idea you can control it whenever isn't so reassuring either." Anna explained expressing her discomfort.
"Hmm yeah that's very common, but don't worry I wont control your body. I'll also respect your privacy and remain out of it when you're doing something only you want to know about." Zinsu explained.
"Hmm that's kinda better but I'm still not Okay with the idea that you're in my body." Anna explained.
"Well *Yawn* I'm afraid you're going to need to get used to that, like I said we're stuck together from now on. I'm gonna clean this mess up now and get some sleep. I'll only be gone for half an hour as my speeches can regain energy much faster than humans. Once I'm back I will observe your day, but I'll remain out of sight." Zinsu explained.
Before Anna could say anything to him, Zinsu collected up all the books and put them back. He then reemerged in Anna's body and went to sleep, leaving Anna alone to think about everything.
"Ugh! Well today's gonna be something isn't it. I also now have to get used to some freaky alien blob thing being a part of my day to day life. Mom dad you're watching this right? If you are, please send me your blessings to get through this Bull shit!" Anna prayed to her parents.
Once she prayed she got up and went into the bathroom to shower and get ready. Later on Anna Excited her Dorm room with her uniform on and her hair pulled up in a ponytail.
"Hey Anna! How was your night?" Anna heard Shelly ask.
She turned around and saw Shelly running up to her waving her arm in the air.
"Um, my night went well, thanks for asking Shelly." Anna said.
'Should I tell Shelly about Zinsu?... No she'll never believe me, then again who would? I'll just sound crazy as something like this just sounds utterly insane.' Anna thought to herself.
"That's great, but I thought I heard you scream last night. Where are you okay, or did something happen?" Shelly asked.
"Oh yeah I was fine, I just stubbed my toe on something." Anna explained. "Ah Okay, I've done that before so I know where you're coming from." Shelly explained.
"Good to know, come-on let's go get breakfast before they run out of food." Anna said.
"Aww yeah! Let's go! I heard it's French toast today!" Shelly exclaimed excitedly.
The two friends then made their way to the cafeteria through a huge wave of many different students. Later in the day Anna was in class taking down notes from the lesson the teacher was explaining.
"Psst, Anna." Anna heard a voice whisper.
Anna looked around for the voice, but couldn't see any other student looking at her.
"Anna down here. Look down at your shirt collar." The voice explained.
Anna looked down and was shocked to see Zinsu peeking a little out of the collar of her shirt.
"Zinsu! What the hell are you doing?!" Anna asked in a whisper, surprised to see Zinsu out.
"Like you I'm focusing on the lesson, but what is it about?" Zinsu asked.
"It's history, we're learning about The First Congress." Anna explained quietly.
"Ah I see, earth has such a fascinating history, I hope to learn much about it." Zinsu said and also started focusing on the lesson.
Anna sighed as she felt like Zinsu would be a nuisance in her life now. As Anna focused on the lesson, a student from behind her was chewing on some gum. They then thought it'd be hilarious to spit it in her hair, so they sat up, and spat the gum towards Anna's hair.
However Zinsu detected it, and moved Anna's hand and grabbed the gum quickly before it had time to make contact with Anna's hair.
"Huh?!" Anna said when she felt her arm move on its own and grab something sticky.
She turned around and saw that there was now gum in her hand and she looked to see the student behind her.
"Hey! Alvin! You know gum is not permitted in class. I don't care if you have it outside of class, but don't chew it during class, and don't try to spit it in other students' hair! You try that again and you'll be written up, you understand?" The history teacher asked, sternly as he looked at Alvin.
"Ugh, fine whatever." Alvin said as he laid back in his seat.
"Anna go on and throw that gum away but sit back down after words." The teacher requested.
"Um Okay, yes sir." Anna said.
She then got up and threw the gum away, then went back down to her seat to resume focusing on the lesson.
"Hey Zinsu what the heck?! You said you wouldn't move my body!" Anna whispered clearly agitated by Zinsu controlling her body.
"Sorry but I didn't want you to get that gum in your hair as I knew it'd be a problem. I know I said I wouldn't move your body, but I would only do it if I needed to. I wanna try and make things easier for you so I'll help out anyway I can, after all we are going to need to learn how to work together." Zinsu explained.
Anna was dumbfounded by what Zinsu said, she didn't know if the two of them could even work together at all. After all, he did enter her body without her consent and merged with her as well. Later on Anna was in her cooking class and she was making french soup as an assignment. She stirred the soup and gave it a taste, she swished it around in her mouth a bit.
"Hmm. I need something, but what does it need?" Anna asked herself.
"Here, try this." Anna heard Zinsu say.
She looked down and saw that Zinsu had formed a tentacle and grabbed onto a spice. He did it in a way that no one but Anna would notice, but still Anna quickly grabbed the spice and gently shoved Zinsu's tentacle back into her shirt.
"Zinsu! Be more careful! If someone sees you they'll freak out!" Anna whispered angrily to Zinsu.
"Hey Anna, who are you talking to?" A classmate asked.
"Oh Um! I was just talking out loud! Sorry!" Anna excused quickly.
The classmate gave her a confused look, before they shrugged and went back to what they were doing. Anna sighed in relief and decided to add in the spice to the soup and see if it made it any better. After adding in the spice she started it in again, and gave it another task.
'Hmm it is better. Okay Zinsu did something helpful again, but I still don't like him after what he did.' Anna thought to herself.
Later on Anna was in PE class playing dodgeball, and was having a hard time avoiding the balls.
"WoW! Okay that one got a little too close for comfort!" Anna stated as she dodged a ball that almost hit her head.
Zinsu was peeking out of Anna's gym shirt and saw her struggle. So he decided to help out a little with throwing the balls. When Anna grabbed onto a ball and went to throw it, Zinsu helped move her arm as he saw she would've missed. This caused her to throw the ball right into one of her classmates' chest, causing them to lose. Anna stood in shock about what had just happened, she then looked down and saw Zinsu looking at her with what she assumed was pride.
'Oh my god! What's he doing?! I better inform him to be more careful if he tries that again.' Anna thought to herself.
Soon PE ended and everyone went to change back into their school uniforms. Anna decided to change in the shower stalls, to both get some privacy and to talk to Zinsu.
Once she was in the shower she made sure to lock the door of the stall she was in. She then took off her Gym shirt and tapped the area on her chest where Zinsu would come out of.
"Hey Zinsu! Out! I need to talk to you!" Anna exclaimed quietly so no one would hear her.
"Okay! Okay I'm coming!" Zinsu said as he emerged out of Anna's chest.
"Alright I'm here, what do you need?" Zinsu asked.
"Um, could you, oh I don't know, maybe not go so hard next time you do something like that?" Anna asked.
"Oh, is this about dodgeball?" ZInsu asked.
"Yes it is! Humans can be fragile and if that student got hurt because of me I could get into a lot of trouble!" Anna explained.
"Oh my bad, sorry Humans are still very new to me so I don't entirely know how they all function. I'll do more research later once we go back to the dorm room." Zinsu said.
"Yeah you better! Cause I don't want to get in trouble with anyone because of you!" Anna stated.
"Sure no problem kid. I'll be more careful as we progress on with our symbiosis." Zinsu said.
Anna felt a little better, but she still wasn't alright with Zinsu, as she found him rather unsettling. Zinsu reemerged in Anna's chest and Anna finished getting changed back into her uniform. Soon the day ended and Anna was at her locker getting some stuff out of it.
"Hey Anna, how are you doing?" Anna heard Vincent ask.
"Huh? Oh hey Vince I'm doing well, thanks." Anna said.
"That's good to hear, hey are you excited for pancakes tomorrow?" Vincent asked.
"Hell yeah I am! It's gonna be a dream come true for me!" Anna exclaimed excitedly.
"Hehe I bet, hey you heading to the Karate club?" Vincent asked.
"Yeah I am, wanna go and watch me?" Anna asked.
"Sure! I'm up for it!" Vincent exclaimed.
Anna smiled and finished grabbing her stuff from her locker before making her way to her club room. Zinsu was very curious to see what skills Anna had as he hoped she would be a good fighter. He knew they would need to fight in the future as he also knew that the ones who killed his last host and friend would find him soon.
'Anna please be a good fighter, I need you to help me out on my mission to stop them." Zinsu thought to himself.
Anna and Vincent soon arrived at the club room, where they saw the other members all training. The Club leader Sebastian noticed them coming in and he greeted them.
"Hey Anna, hey Vincent, good to see you two here! Anna you go get changed Vincent there are seats on the other side of the room for you to sit and observe." Sebastian explained.
"Alright thanks for informing me of that, Sebastian." Vincent said.
"Anytime, now chop chop! Let's go Anna, you've missed two weeks of Training and I want you to catch up!" Sebastian stated.
"Yes sir! I Want the same thing!" Anna exclaimed and ran in the back to change.
Later Anna came out of the changing room in her karate uniform and started training with the other club members.
"Alright Everyone! Listen up, we're going to be sparing today so I want you all to get your gear on! And I better not catch any of you using your skills to bully or beat up anyone!" Sebastian stated in a firm clear voice.
Everyone nodded at what Sebastian had said and they all went to their bags and started putting on their sparring gear.
"Hmm Sparing, I've watched and felt some of my other hosts do that before, this should allow me to get a good view on Anna's fighting- Off!" Zinsu was saying but was interrupted when he felt something being squished on himself and Anna's chest.
'Must be that gear that Sebastian guy was talking about. Must be a chest piece, not that I mind as I don't want anyone hitting me and accidentally finding out about me.' Zinsu thought to himself as he got into a more comfortable position.
Anna meanwhile felt Zinsu being squished in her chest and him adjusting when she put her chest piece on. It felt very strange to her as she'd never felt that before, however she didn't say anything about it. Mostly because she wanted to keep Zinsu a secret for obvious reasons let alone look like a weirdo to everyone in the club.
'Ugh! If Zinsu is going to be like that every-time I put something like this on me, then we're gonna need to chat about it. Never actually thought I'd think that in my whole life. Why is this even happening to me?' Anna asked herself as she got the rest of her sparring gear on.
Once everyone had their sparring gear on they were all put into groups of two. After being put into groups Sebastian gave them the signal to fight and they did so.
As they fought, Zinsu recorded Anna's movements and fighting techniques, which was impressive to him. Anna's fighting skills are impressive to Zinsu and he believed that he had chosen a good host.
Anna soon defeated her opponent and was then given another opponent to fight. She soon managed to take out all the other club members who were assigned to spar with her. Once she was done Sparring Sebastian announced that the club meeting was over.
"Good work Anna you did great. I'm proud to see that you haven't gotten rusty." Sebastian praised while patting Anna on the shoulder.
"Thanks Seb, I'm also glad that I haven't gotten rusty one bit." Anna said.
Sebastian smiled, then dismissed everyone for the day, everyone nodded and went to go change. Sebastian meanwhile just stayed and trained himself a little more, as he always stayed for an extra hour to train. Anna smiled and followed everyone else to the locker room to also change back into her school uniform.
"Hey Anna, that was amazing." Vincent said as he got up and walked up to Anna.
"Thanks Vince I'm glad that I haven't gotten rusty in my absence." Anna said.
"Hehe I don't think you ever will. You take this club very seriously so it's understandable you'd never allow yourself to get rusty." Vince explained.
Anna smiled again, Vince then allowed her to go get change so they could go back to their rooms. As Anna was changing, Zinsu emerged from her chest slightly and started talking to her.
"Hey Anna." Zinsu whispered.
"Ah! Zinsu! What are you doing?!" Anna asked in a whisper, clearly showing her annoyance with Zinsu's action.
"I noticed your desire to mate with that male human." Zinsu whispered.
Anna blushed at what Zinsu said and whispered angrily "Zinsu! Don't you go around saying stuff like that! That is my own personal business and none of yours!"
"Hey Anna, who are you talking to?" Anna heard one of her club members ask.
"Oh! No one! Just thinking out loud sorry!" Anna explained nervously, praying that they would buy it.
Her club mate just looked at her for a second before shrugging and going back to changing.
Anna let out a sigh of relief and roughly pressed Zinsu back into her chest. Zinsu got the message and remerged back into Anna's body and decided to talk to her more later.
Later on Anna was in her dorm room lying on her bed, deep in thought about her current dilemma. Zinsu meanwhile was looking through Anna's laptop doing more research as he believed that the internet could give him more knowledge then what the books had already given him.
"Zinsu, what was up with you today?" Anna asked.
"What do you mean Anna?" Zinsu asked.
"I mean you popping up like that and talking to me when there were others around?! I thought you understood you can't be seen by anyone here!" Anna explained.
"Sorry it's just that, on other planets I've been on with my previous hosts I was able to be out all the time and talk to others. So hiding away and not talking all day isn't something I'm used to. I'm what you humans refer to as an extrovert so I like to be out and talk. My apologies for the inconvenience I caused you, like I said I'm not used to having to hide myself within my host." Zinsu explained.
"Okay well I guess that is understandable, but please don't do that tomorrow alright! I've got a date with Vincent and I don't want him seeing you!" Anna explained.
"I understand, after all if he were to find out about me it'd be very hard to explain. That and I'm afraid he might tell others about me and if that happened who knows what your government would do." Zinsu explained.
"They'd probably take both of us in and experiment on us, if that were to happen that'd be a problem as I have high hopes for my future." Anna explained.
"Well if they don't show up and try to conquer Earth." Zunsu stated mysteriously.
"What! What do you mean?! Who's they, Zinsu!?" Anna asked surprised as she shot upward.
"I'll explain later Anna, for now I want you to worry about getting used to me before I put another worry on you." Zinsu explained.
"Well if you want that then don't scare me like that! Alright?" Anna asked. "Alright I wont, I'm sorry." Zinsu said apologetically.
Anna sighed again before lying back down on her bed, while also rubbing her head. She didn't know what she was going to do about Zinsu, but she did know they'd have to get along as they were stuck with each other.
