A/N:9-22-13. Hey guys, I thought that I would try my hand at writing a Dark Hunter story. This is not one where somebody meet someone and they get it one within a few days. No. Read the title.
The Fates Hate Me Today.
This deals with things while Ash was human and such. There is hurt/comfort; Romance; Apollo and Artemis (Heavy) bashing, humor (sarcastic humor,) a few surprise guests, and whatnots. I hope you guys like.
I wrote this for pure entertainment. And also because I was hating Artemis at the time and I wanted a story for what would happen if everyone close to Ash found out his past. Well... Here we go...
Warning: language, sexual themes, and well...it's M rated. What do you expect with M. If you arn't mature enough for it... please do not read. Like I said...It deals with Ash's past. The only warning you will get.
The bar went silent and watched as the woman slowly set her drink down on the bar and turned to look at the guy standing next to her. "What part of 'Leave me alone' were you unable to comprehend?"
The tall blond stared down at her with hungry eyes. "All of it sweet thing." He raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder.
. . .She grabbed it and twisted it before it even reached her then flipped him over onto the bar in front of her. She stared down at him and poured the rest of her beer on his stunned face. "You are just like your creator." She grumbled with fire in her eyes.
She pulled out a twenty and handed it to the tall female behind the bar. "Sorry for all the trouble." She then grabbed her jacket and put it on and placed her helmet under her arm.
"Hey! Hey bitch I'm talking to you!" She sighed and stopped and turned to face the dick who yell at her. "What dip-shit? Are you ackin' that much for a beat down? I am ten feet from the door."
"What did you mean when you said I was just like my creator?"
The woman smiled a . . . somewhat evil, smile. "Boy," she said in a deadly calm voice before continuing, "I could tell you so much about that mother fucker and his bitch of a sister that it would take at least three lifetimes to fill."
The blond gulped and was about to speak when Sweet Home Alabama began to play. He palled and started to bolt for the back door. She sighed and pulled a knife from the heel of her boot. "Sorry dude, it was nice knowing ya."
She threw it just as the door opened. The guy burst apart right in front of a tall man decked out in black and a buzz cut.
She blinked at him, he stared at her. "Dude, buzz cut is sooo not your style." She said as she walked past him and mounted her Hyubusa. She stared at the Turbo parked next to hers and gave it an apricative nod before placing her helmet on and riding off.
Acheron stared after the women. Something about her seemed familer. He turned to Dev, "Hey Bear, who was that woman?"
Dev stared at him. "Ash? What the hell did you do to your hair man? You lose a bet?"
Ash glared at him, "Gum got stuck in my hair and peanut butter didn't work. Now, who was that woman?"
Dev howled with laughter. "Fine, don't tell. Anyway, that chick that was in here, that Daimon was bothering her so she laid him out flat on the bar and poured her beer on him. Never seen a gal flip a guy over like that. And the sound that he made hitting the bartop, oh I think everyone cringed. But best part, she said she knew things about his creator and his sister that would take three lifetimes to fill."
Ash tuned him out as he looked out the door and down the street. Somebody knew about Artimes and Apollo? He shook his head to clear it and turned back to Dev. "Soteria will be here soon. Do you have a back room we can have?"
Dev gave hime a consipirital wink. "Getting it on in the back room Ash? You naughty boy you."
Aimee looked up from the bar just in time to see Ash sigh and punch Dev out onto the street. Fang gently pinched her. "Ow!" She slapped his arm. "What was that for?" "Just wanted to make sure I didn't just dream up Ash punching your brother." She glared at her mate. "You are sleeping on the couch tonight mister." "Damn."
Ash walked over to them and shook Fang's hand while Aimee hugged him. "So Ash, any reason why you punched my brother?" Aimee asked.
"He was being an ass. Look, Soteria will be soon with Simi and well, our son." He quickly placed his hand on Aimee's mouth to keep her from squealing in happiness. "Yes yes, look, last minute I know, but," He looked around at the almost empty bar, "Do you think we could have a little celebration? Just with all of our friends-"
Fang stood up on the bartop and gave a loud whistle. Everyone looked at him. "Hey guys, sory for the late notice but the bar will be closing to the public in thirty minutes. Last call at the bar is now. Again, somethimg just came up and we have to close down for the night." He turned to Ash, "That work All Mighty One?"
Ash smiled and nodded. "Thanks wolf." He paused and looked down at Aimee. He tilted his head to the side and lifted his sunglasses to stare at her better.
Aimee started getting nervous. "Something wrong Ash?" He shook his head and he smiled at her. He replaced his sunglaces, "Hey wolf, you and the bear swan are going to have twins in a few monthes." Their eyes widened. "And no, they won't be 'Brolf'. Any children you have will only have one base." He gave Aimee a kiss on her forhead and the walked into the kitchen.
Fang and Aimee stared after him in stunned silence, then Fang gave a shout of joy and picked her up. He swung her around and gave her a heated kiss before placing his forehead on hers. "You feel okay babe? You need to sit down? Are you having any weird cravings yet? Pickles and peanut butter ice cream, don't ask me where that thought came from-"
Dev, Kyle, and Remi ran over. "What's going on!" "What's with all the yellin'?" "Aimee, you okay?" "You ganna be sick?" "Why ya holding your stomach?"
Aimee smiled up at her brothers and rubbed her tummy while Fang had a shit eatting grin on his face. "Ash just said. . .that I was pregnant. With twins!"
Remi went pale, Dev let out a wimper and Kyle hugged her. "Uh, Rem, you okay, you look a little gr-" Remi feinted.
"Well now, that's a sight you don't see everyday. Look Bastian, the big bad bear is all passed out on the floor and looks like a big cuddly teddy doesn't he?" Soteria said from behind Dev holding her son Sebastian. She looked at Aimee, "Congrats Aim!"
"Um, excuse me, my I have another Sam Adams over here!" somebody called out. Fang looked over at the table. "Coming up!"
"So we getting two brolf cubs yes?" Simi asked from beside Tory. Aimee looked at her and smiled when Ash walked up to his wife and kissed her then his son. He picked Simi up kissed her forehead, "No Simykey, no Brolf cubs. One will either be wolf or bear. Unless the fates decide to create a whole new species but I don't think that they are even that cruel."
Simi and Tory just looked at him. Ash sighed. "So glad I had son. Fine, I'll talk to Savitar, see if he can gleen anything, but I know that those two are only going to either be bear or wolf." Tory smiled and kissed one cheek while Simi kissed the other.
Fang watched and turned to Aimee, "If we ever have girls, they are not going anywhere without a guard at all times." She just smiled and smacked his head. "She will have several uncles, male cousins and hopefully some brothers to watch over her. Along with her stupid but very protective father who can track her down if she ever decides to run away."
"Thats for backhanded compliment dear." "Your welcome love." She turned to Tory and zoned in on Bastian. "Awww... he's so cuuute! He has your eyes Ash! But were did the blond come from?"
"My mother." Ash answered. Apollymi was blond... Aimee looked at him, "Where did your black hair come from then?" "A box labled black hair dye."
"Hm. So your really a blond?" Ash glared at her. Aimee looked at him, "I can see it I guess. Blond hair, silver eyes, that regal pose you sometimes have. Were you royalty in your previous life?"
"Aimee!" Ash and Soteria snapped at her. Aimee backed up and hung her head. "Sorry. I did not mean any offense." Ash drew in a deep breath and counted to ten before he answered. "Yes, I was a prince but my father never once acklowledged me even though I was the oldest son. He sent me off to Atlantis with my Uncle the first chance he got. I never saw my twin brother or my elder sister until my sixteenth birthday when Ryssa broke in and stole me away from the hell that I was living in. That summer was on of the best yet worst. She was the first one to ever show me kindness. Then the bastard found out that I was staying at the summer Villa and shipped me back to Atlantis in handcuffs where I stayed till I was nineteen. Do I need to go on bear or have I already painted a pretty picture for you?" He set down Simi amd walked out the door.
Aimee sank to the floor and hugged herself. Silent tears fell down her cheeks. Tory stared down at her. She silently handed Bastian off to Simi. "Go stay with Ash sweetie, he needs you both now." Simi took her little brother and went to her Akri. Tory knelt down and pulled Aimee into a hug.
"Akri?" Simi said quietly as she saw Ash leaning against the wall of the building with a 'Fuck with me right now and I will fucking kill you where you stand while smiling.' attitude.
Ash looked at her when he noticed her hesitant voice. "Yes Simi?"
"Akra-Tory told Simi to bring baby Akri to Akri because Akri needs us now." She said as she gently held Sebastian up to his father. Ash sighed and slid down the wall untill he sat on the floor. He pulled Simi into his lap and placed Bastian against his shoulder. "Thank you Simykey." He kissed her forehead.
Simi smiled, "Love you Akri-papa." It always warmed his heart when she called him that.
"Wow dad, trying out a new look?" Ash sighed as he leaned his head up to stare at his eldest daughter. "Kat, how are you doing sweetie?"
She smiled as she sat down next to him and laid her head on his shoulder, the one Bastian wasn't occupying. "I'm alright. I felt your distress, so I decided to come see what was wrong."
He leaned his head back, "Past shit coming to haunt me. Ow!" He rubbed his head and glared up at his wife. "What was that for Tory?"
"No cursing around the baby. Hey Kat!" Ash stared up at her, "Your getting on to me for my language. I thought you like when I talk dirty-" Tory quickly covered his mouth with his hand and Kat covered her ears. "DAD! TMI! That is just plain gross..." She shivered. Ash chuckled amd kissed her forehead. "Sorry baby girl."
"What does talk dirty mean?" The adults paled at Simi's question. Tory reached into Ash's pockets.
"Tory! Not the place to feel dad up!" Kat said covering up her eyes. Ash just watched the hand that was in his pocket with interest. He was confused when she pulled out the keys to his motercycle. And then handed him the keys to the car.
"For that I'm taking the Turbo home while you can take the mini-van." She got up and grabbed his leather jacket from the railling and helmet before walking away. Ash and Kat stared at the keys in his hands.
"Um...you guys drive a mini-van now?" Ash turned to her and had this scared look on his face. "What's that look for dad?"
"I don't know how to drive the mini-van."
On the otherside of town the strange woman from before stared down at the town from a hill. "Acheron, please do not hate me for what's coming." A misty form of a woman appeared next to her. "Do not worry M'gias, Apostolos will understand in time." The woman turned to the misty woman. "Apollymi, do you really think this will work?"
Apollymi nodded and laid a misty hand on the woman's shoulder in support. "You and I have had eleven thousand years to plan this moment m'gias. Do not start doubting yourself now."
The woman nodded. "Thank you Apollymi. For everything you have done for me over the years. And for Apostolos." The woman smiled. "I owe you alot."
Apollymi smiled and shook her head. "Go forth m'gias. Take your revenge on those two asses who call themselves gods."
The woman smirked and zipped up her jacket. She sat on her bike and turned to Apollymi, "All hail Apollymi!" She placed her helmet on and peeled away leaving a trail of dust in her wake.
Apollymi stared after her and smiled, "Soon, Apostolos. Soon you won't have to hurt so much." A tear trickled down her cheek.
