"Could I possibly meet your parents soon?" Jack asked, causing Ashi's eyes to widen in shock.
The two were under their usual tree in the forest, cuddled up under the shade of the branches and leaves.
"Why...would you want to meet my parents?" Ashi frowned.
"Well, you have met my parents, so I thought it would be only natural-"
"Trust me Jack, you wouldn't want to meet them," Ashi shook her head, "It'll change your view on me,"
Jack noticed her apprehension and reached out, gently holding her cheek and turning her face towards his, "Ashi...I would never judge you based on your family. I want them to know that I am completely invested into our relationship,"
Ashi's eyebrow twitched in contemplation before sighing in defeat, "Fine. You can meet my parents,"
Before she could even finish her sentence, Jack pulled her into a deep kiss, "Thank you,"
A few days later, Jack walked up to the doorsteps of Ashi's house and took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.
'You can do this,'
Ding-Dong.
Jack then heard a crazed female voice yell, "Aku, my lord and master, the doorbell has rung-"
"SHUT UP WOMAN, I KNOW!" A deeper, more threatening voice screamed as footsteps started nearing the door.
The front door suddenly slammed open and Aku raged in Jack's face, "WHAAAT DO YOU WANT, FOOL?!"
Jack blinked in surprise at the appearance of Ashi's father, but regained his composure and coughed, "You must be Ashi's father. My name is-"
"GIRLS! GET DOWN HERE!" Aku screamed in fury.
"YOU HEARD WHAT OUR MASTER SAID!" Ashi's mother screamed.
Ashi, Ami, Avi, Aki, and 3 other siblings rushed down to the front door.
"WHO INVITED A BOY OVER?!" Aku demanded.
Ashi's mother spoke, "Do you want me to kill him, Master-"
"SHUT UP WOMAN! I can handle this myself!" Aku snapped.
Ashi made her way to the front, and ran towards Jack, hugging him, "I invited him over, Dad. He's staying for dinner tonight,"
Jack bowed respectfully towards the family, "It is nice to meet you. My name is-"
"FOOL! AS IF YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY DAUGHTER!" Aku yelled.
"Dad! You didn't even give him a chance!" Ashi growled.
Ashi's mother screeched, "HOW DARE YOU TALK BACK TO OUR LORD AND-"
"WOMAN! I GOT THIS!" Aku yelled, causing the entire house to shake.
Jack blinked in shock, before reaching behind his back, presenting a cake, "I have bought you a cake for dessert,"
"Cake?!... Hmm...acceptable for now..." Aku snatched the cake from Jack's hands before walking inside, "Come in before I change my mind!"
Jack turned to Ashi and smiled hopefully, "I think he likes me,"
Ashi slapped her forehead before grabbing Jack's hand and dragged him inside her house.
At the dinner table, Ashi's sisters and Aku all glared at Jack who looked around nervously. Ashi, who sat beside him, touched his hand in reassurance, making Aku growl.
"So...how did a fool such as yourself meet my beautiful angel?" Aku questioned.
Jack chuckled as he recalled, "We actually didn't like each other,"
Ashi smiled as she also recalled the memory, "Jack showed me the positives of life, and then..."
Her words died down as the couple gazed at each other lovingly for a long time, before Ami screamed, "WELL, I DON'T LIKE IT!"
Aku rolled his eyes, before his stomach growled loudly, "WOMAN, WHERE IS DINNER?!"
"Right here, Master!" Ashi's mother placed a heaping pile of food in front of Aku, and he immediately started digging in.
"Uhh...do we get any dinner?" Jack inquired.
"No, we usually get our own," Ashi sighed, "My mother is too crazy to even care about us,"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Ashi's mother snapped.
"You heard me!" Ashi growled, "I don't even know why you two married! I haven't seen a couple so dysfunctional in my life!"
"Sweetheart, you know your mother and I try," Aku swallowed a bite of his food, before yelling, "WOMAN! HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY BURN MACARONI?!"
"Master! I sincerely apologize!" Ashi's mother dropped to her knees and groveled, "I deserve to be punished!"
"WHAT?! I'm not going to punish you, you crazy woman!" Aku rubbed his temples.
"Are we going to have more children, then?" Ashi's mother questioned.
"ISN'T SEVEN ENOUGH-?! YOU KNOW WHAT? I WANT A DIVORCE! Aku screamed.
Ashi sighed, got up, and dragged the shocked Jack away and up to her bedroom.
