Blood is in the air…
"Danielle heads up!" Danielle lifted her head in time to see the Frisbee sailing toward her, she jumped to catch it but it sailed over her hand and landed at the feet of a boy with auburn spiky hair and mahogany eyes.
"Kai throw it here!" Kai picked up the Frisbee and threw it back to Danielle, Corissa waited for the Frisbee to be throw at her though a little weary of the plastic disk. When Danielle threw the disk a little to low and it nearly flew into her face she let out a scream and ducked her head, letting it soar over her head and land in the grass behind her. She heard the laugh of Kai's younger brother Riku and saw him standing behind her with the Frisbee in his hand.
"Corissa why didn't you catch it?" Riku asked with a chuckle.
"It was coming right at my face…"
"What didn't want to mar your pretty face?" Kai asked with a sarcastic tone, she glared at him.
"No! That's not it, you jerk. I didn't want to catch it with my nose again."
"You were hit in the nose once." Danielle said and rolled her eyes, Corissa glared at her.
"Hey that could be a very traumatic experience for a child; it was my first nose bleed!" Riku handed her back to Frisbee and she threw her arm around his shoulders. "Hey how about you and I get out of here and go have some real fun, huh? Maybe get a little wild and go play on the teeter totter?" She grinned and Riku returned the smile and nodded, she straightened herself and tossed the Frisbee over her shoulder back at her friends. "Riku and I are leaving, have fun you two." Danielle and Kai frowned in confusion.
"Wait! Where are you two going?"
"We're going out to have some fun." Kai made a face.
"Corissa you shouldn't corrupt him at such a young age, he'll be scarred for life!" Corissa rolled her eyes and flipped him off behind her back.
"Very funny Kai." Riku chuckled and just as they were about to walk off a van pulled up and Mr. Miyagusuku (Kai and Riku's father) stepped out of the driver's side.
"Hey kids."
"Hey George." Danielle said and smiled. George smiled back at her and then shifted his eyes to Corissa and Riku.
"Corissa I'm going out tonight to do a little shopping, would you mind baby-sitting Riku for me?" She smiled brightly and hugged Riku.
"No of course not, you know I love the little squirt!" Riku stuck his tongue out and pulled away from her arm a little.
"Don't use the word baby-sit; I mean I'm thirteen years old. Can't you just call it hanging out?" She smirked and nodded.
"Sure Riku. Hey I know how about I come by in my pajama's and we make cookie dough and watch some movies, how's that sound?"
"Yeah!" Kai made a face.
"Please tell me your jamma's this time consist of something more than just a T-shirt and boy cut shorts."
"Why? What do you care, are you going to be home?"
"Yes I wasn't planning on going any where." She rolled her eyes.
"Alright if I promise to behave myself would you watch the movies with us?" George smiled at them.
"What does it matter what she comes over in Kai, your 18 no need to be shy of her body." Corissa laughed at how red Kai's face got.
"Well now that you say that George I have to come over in my underwear." Kai glared at her.
"No you won't."
"Watch me." She said with a grin, Riku laughed at her.
"Can I give a suggestion for your choice this time?" She nodded. "I like the black and red pair you showed me once, wear that."
"K." Danielle shook her head and George smiled.
"Your guy's relationship disturbs me." Danielle said as she laughed. Kai crossed his arms angrily. Corissa rolled her eyes.
"Kai stop acting like a baby." He glared at her and was about to open his mouth to say something when he closed it and cringed at the annoying voice that called his name from across the park.
"Oh Kai!" They turned to see Mao a girl who saw Kai as her boyfriend, neither Danielle nor Corissa liked her very much. Kai hid behind Danielle. George smiled and gave a fleeting wave.
"Bye guy's, have fun." Kai reached out and tried to grab his father's sleeve.
"Dad wait! Take me with you!" Mao smiled and giggled.
"Kai you're so funny!" Kai cringed and forced a smile. Corissa sighed and grabbed Riku's sleeve.
"Come on Riku lets go and leave Kai with his girlfriend." She laughed lightly and walked past them but Kai stopped her.
"No stay, she's not my girlfriend." Mao glared at them.
"Kai." She warned but Corissa decided to play a little trick. She smiled.
"Oh I see what's going on, Kai you should of told me sooner." He frowned at her and blushed slightly when she threw her arms around his neck and pulled herself close to his body.
"What the hell are you doing?!" He hissed in her ear, she smiled.
"Just play along and I promise she'll never bother you again." He wrapped his arms loosely around her waist. "Kai just tell her we want to be alone." Danielle and Riku looked away to try and keep their laughter from view, Mao glared at them.
"What? Kai what's going on?" She demanded. Kai blinked for a moment before he hugged Corissa tighter and nodded.
"Mao we want to be left alone." Mao growled and turned on her heels, stomping away. Corissa pulled away from him and laughed.
"There now she won't bother you any more." Riku crossed his arms.
"I don't know, Mao is pretty persistent."
"In any case that will hold her off for a while." Danielle nodded looked at them.
"Hey guys how about tomorrow we go hiking?" Corissa and Riku nodded.
"Sure sounds like fun." Riku said, Corissa yawned and stretched and brought her arm down to look at her watch.
"Wow it's almost 8, hey Riku why don't you come back to my house with me and show me the set you're talking about and then we'll come back to your house." He nodded and they walked off. Danielle looked at Kai and smiled.
"I'll meet up with you guys tomorrow at about 10 and we'll make a day of it. We'll go hiking for a while and then swimming in the lake." Kai nodded.
"Sounds good." Danielle turned and waved at him over her shoulder as she walked away. Kai turned around as well and ran off toward his house. He reached it within ten minutes and walked through the door. "Hello?" He called but didn't get an answer. Sighing he walked up the stairs to his room.
Corissa pulled the jacket closer to her body and glanced at Riku with a smile, he smiled back at her.
"That was clever the way you got Mao away from Kai."
"Yeah well, its not likes its hard to know what makes a girl jealous."
"What do you mean?"
"Just in case you weren't informed about this, I am a girl." His mouth dropped open in mock surprise.
"You are?! And here I thought you were just a new species, an Issa." She laughed and hugged him from the side.
"Your lucky your cute." He giggled and nodded.
"I know." They're laughter ended however when they heard heavy breathing and snarling behind them, Corissa slowly turned her head to see a giant monster standing behind them with sharp fangs and claws, its eyes were red and vacant. She pulled Riku behind her and felt her breathing quicken, quickly she glanced around her and tried to find something that she could use as a weapon. She saw a rusty old can opener lying on the ground near a trash can and flexed her hand.
"Riku run I can handle this!"
"No! I'm not letting you get killed!" She growled and pushed him out of the way as she dove for the can opener, as she grabbed it she cut her finger on some broken glass and it dripped on to the can opener. She straightened up and ran at the monster when she saw it run at Riku.
"Riku get out of the way!" She leapt into the air and thrust the can opener into its neck, it let out an inhuman screech and crumpled to the ground. She let out a deep breath and put her hand to her heart. Riku ran to her and hugged her tightly; she hissed and looked down at her burning hand. She pulled her injured hand to herself and Riku grabbed her uninjured one and they ran back to his house.
"We have to get that treated." They walked in the house and saw the lights off. "Kai come here!" The upstairs light came on and Kai rushed down the stairs in his boxers. "Kai we have to bandage her hand quickly!" Kai walked to her and pulled her hand away from her and noticed the large slice along her palm, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her up the stairs and pulled her into the bathroom.
"Riku go sit on the couch and wait for us." Kai yelled down the stairs. Corissa turned over her shoulder to look at Riku and put her two cents in.
"Riku go start on that cookie dough, I'll be down in a minute." Kai pulled out a large bandage, gauze and peroxide. Her eyes widened when she saw the peroxide. "Why do you have peroxide? My hands fine just put the band aide on and I'll go help Riku."
"We have to clean it out; I don't care what you say." She pouted and he held her hand over the sink as he poured the peroxide in it. She hissed and looked away. "How did you cut your hand?"
"On glass."
"Why were you near glass?"
"What does it matter?"
"I want to know."
"To bad, just hurry up."
"Why won't you tell me? What were you doing?" She sighed in annoyance and looked away.
"It doesn't matter, just finish my hand." He lifted a brow and set everything down on the counter and leaned back crossing his arms staring at her.
"Nope, tell me and I'll finish." She narrowed her eyes and lunged her hand out to grab the band aide but he pulled it out of her reach.
"Kai give me the band aide!" She growled as she leaned forward to try and get the band aide but couldn't reach it. She pouted and shrugged, jumping down from the counter and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To help Riku with the cookie dough then I'm going to watch movies and then I'll go home. I'll bandage my hand there!" She was about to walk out of the door when Kai grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into the bathroom and picked her up setting her hard on the counter. He stepped in front of her and stood there making sure she didn't move.
"Stay."
"Last time I checked I wasn't a dog."
"I might as well treat you like an animal because you're not acting like a person. Just tell me what happened and then you can go get fat on cookie dough and watch sappy movies."
"You know what? I hate you." He shrugged.
"Its all in the job, now tell me."
"No."
"Now."
"No."
"Tell me."
"No and it'll be your fault that I get tetanus! I hope you're happy!" She pushed past him and moved to the door but he grabbed her again.
"I'm getting really tired of this game." He hissed and pulled her back and made her rest her butt against the counter cabinet.
"Dido so if you'll excuse me I have some getting fat to do."
"No. Why won't you tell me?"
"You wouldn't believe me is why! Now let me go so I can go 'get fat' as you put it."
"Just tell me I promise I'll believe you."
"Really?" She paused and nodded. "Alright. Tonight we were attacked by a giant monstrous creature and I killed it with a can opener, it crumbled in the street and we ran back here. I cut my hand diving for the can opener."
"Tell me the truth, don't make jokes." She narrowed her eyes.
"That was the truth, now fix my hand." He grabbed the band aide and wrapped her hand up. She pushed him away angrily and walked to the door. "I told you, you wouldn't believe me. Some friend you are." She muttered and ran down the stairs. He ran after her.
"Hey get back here!"
"Fuck you!" She hissed as she walked into the kitchen. "Alright Riku I'm done, how far are you?"
"I just put the butter in."
"Ok well turn on the mixer and I'll get the flour, sugar and the chocolate chips."
"Corissa talk to me." Kai said as he walked into the kitchen.
"No." Riku looked at them and frowned slightly.
"Are you two fighting?" Corissa smiled warmly at him.
"No we're not fighting-"
"Yes we are." She clenched her jaw.
"Kai shut up."
"Why are you two fighting?" Riku asked with a stained voice, Corissa clasped a hand on his shoulder.
"Your brother is just an asshole that's why."
"I am not! You shouldn't have lied to me!"
"I didn't lie! That's the truth you asshole!" Riku covered his ears.
"Stop yelling!" They stopped and looked down at their feet.
"Sorry Riku." They mumbled.
"Kai what did she lie about?"
"How she cut her hand." She growled and went to work on the cookie dough, ignoring him. Riku looked at her.
"Well what did she say?"
"She said that you two fought some giant monster and she cut her hand diving for a can opener."
"That's what did happen though." Kai opened his mouth to say something but closed it again.
"Riku there's no such thing as a monster, maybe it was a dog or something?" Corissa slammed down the wooden spoon she had clutched in her hand and glared back at him over her shoulder.
"Kai its fine that you don't believe us but don't try and rationalize this and tell us we didn't see what we saw just to make us feel stupid! We saw what we saw, end of story!" Another ten minutes later and they had finished the cookie dough; Corissa grabbed the bowl and two spoons. She took them into the livingroom and waited for Riku to come in. She set the spoons and the bowl down on the coffee table and took off her coat and grabbed a giant goose-down blanket and threw it over the couch cushions. When she finished with that she looked over at the movies and took out about three really good ones, two comedies and one action. She put all three in the five disk DVD changer and got under the blanket, listening closer she heard the rain and thunder. She heard Riku give a short cry and then dive under the blanket with her at the crack of lighting. She laughed lightly and ruffled his hair, after a specifically horrific flash of lighting the lights dimmed. For a moment the lights went out and in a flash of lighting she saw something moving in the other side of the blanket and let out a scream which in turn made Riku scream.
"Stop screaming it's just me." The lights came back one and she saw Kai curled up with the blanket pulled over him, she glared at him.
"Get out of the blanket."
"I hate lighting you know that."
"It can't hurt you, ya big baby."
"I don't care. It still scares me." She rolled her eyes and pulled the giant t-shirt over her head and grinned at the look on Kai's face. "I thought I said that I didn't want you wearing your underwear over here."
"And I thought I said I didn't care." Riku smiled and laid his head on her shoulder as he turned on the first movie and also grabbed the cookie dough and handed her, her spoon. She smiled widely and dug in with a happy smile.
"So what movies did you pick?" Riku asked.
"Just wait." After the previews were over Rush Hour came on and Riku smiled.
"Thanks! Let me guess, Rush Hour 2 and Gone in Sixty Seconds too?" She smirked.
"You know me to well." Out of the corner of her eye she saw Kai dig his fingers into the cookie dough, she glared at him. "No! Use a spoon!" He grabbed the spoon out of her hand and dug into the dough, she glared at him again. "Not my spoon!" She made a grab for her spoon but he held it out of her reach, she narrowed her eyes at him and made sure Riku had a good grip on the cookie dough before she lunged at Kai and tried to reach her spoon. "Give me my spoon god damn it!" A sudden loud crack of lighting was heard over head and Kai pulled her down close, the sudden downward force jolted her and she grimaced. "Kai let go and give me my spoon!" Finally she got her spoon but realized that Kai wasn't going to let up any time soon and decided to try and move herself so she was at least a bit more comfortable. She shifted her body a bit at an angle and suddenly found herself trapped between his legs and pressed intimately against him. 'Well this isn't really more comfortable…' She thought and sighed to herself. Another craving for cookie dough came up and she tried arching her back backward to try and get a small scoop but found that angle was even more uncomfortable; she felt a deep blush spread across her face. "Riku would you mind putting some cookie dough on my spoon, I'm kinda stuck." He grabbed her spoon and put some cookie dough on it for her, she smiled and was about to eat it when Kai took it from her and ate half of it.
"Riku thanks for the dough." She glared at him and grabbed the spoon, she was about to eat the rest when she noticed that he had slobbered all over the tip of the spoon.
"You ass!" She sighed and arched her back, back again and got a swipe of dough on her finger and grinned. She happily stuck her finger in her mouth and turned her eyes to the TV, she didn't notice Kai's eyes on her watching as she sucked on her finger. She pulled her finger from her mouth and wiped it on the blanket before she tried to move back but another lighting strike and Kai's yell later told her she was stuck where she was. She sighed and decided to lie down if she wasn't going anywhere, sitting up was starting to hurt her back. She laid her head down on his shoulder and pulled the blanket up to her neck.
"What are you doing?"
"Watching the movie."
"Get off me."
"Then let me go, you're the one clutching onto me. I just laid down so I didn't feel like I was being broken in half." He released her and pulled his arms behind his head to elevate it.
"Go lay with Riku, he looks lonely." She shrugged and was about to move when another crack of thunder and then lighting sounded over head and Kai grabbed her again. She tapped her finger against his collarbone and glared at him.
"How am I supposed to leave you alone if you won't let me go?! Its just thunder and lighting. Don't yell at me to get off you if you're the one who keeps grabbing me, now let me go!" She grabbed his hands and began trying to pry them off, he grinned when he saw her struggling to get his hands away.
"You know what on second thought I'm really warm, don't move." She glared down at him and grabbed both of his hands.
"No, move your hands! Let met up!" He brought his hands up and unhooked her bra; she stopped struggling and glared down at him as she brought her hands back to hook it again.
"Unless you want to be exposed I suggest you stop moving."
"This is just revenge because I'm wearing just my underwear, huh?"
"Pretty much." She glared at him and hooked it back up in the back and pulled away from him and laid her head on Riku's shoulder. Riku smiled at her, she smiled back at him but let out a yelp when Kai grabbed her foot.
"What?!" She growled he beckoned her with one finger she rolled her eyes but crawled over to him. "What?" He was about to say something when a giant lighting strike hit the power box outside surging the lights, they all screamed and ducked. Corissa dug her face into Kai's chest and pulled the blanket over herself. The lights went out and she sat up slightly. "Is everyone alright?"
"I will be once you get off my stomach." Kai gasped, she moved over a bit and heard him let out a big whoosh of air, she turned behind her and tried to see Riku.
"Riku are you alright?" She heard him breathing fast and moved away from Kai and toward the middle of the couch. "Riku?" She heard growling and frowned. "Riku that isn't funny. Where are you?"
"Corissa I think there's something here with us…" Her breath hitched.
"What do you mean?"
"There's something growling next to me." She gulped and reached her hand out; she found his arm and pulled.
"Come sit over here and I'll take a look."
"We can't see anything!" Riku said, Kai sat up quickly and grabbed the flash light sitting on the table in front of them. He pushed them both behind him and stood, he turned it on and pointed it to where Riku had been sitting and saw a snarling dog ready to spring at them. He gasped and backed up but fell over Corissa's shoes and landed hard on his butt, Corissa pulled Riku behind her and put her hand on Kai's shoulder.
"Kai what is it?"
"It's a dog and I don't think its friendly, it must have come in to get away from the rain."
"What do we do?" She asked as she stood behind him and looked at the dog, she grabbed the remote and held it up like a club. "Kai?"
"I'm thinking, just give me a second." She glanced back at the dog and saw it crouch down further ready to attack them.
"Kai I hate to rush the thinking process but I don't think we have a lot of time, because I think we're about to be attacked." He pulled the blanket off the couch and threw it over the dog; the dog went into a snarling fit and began wiggling harshly trying to get out. He turned the blanket upside down and drug the struggling dog to the door and threw it out, snapping the blanket back and closing the door. She let out a deep sigh and slumped back onto the couch leaning against Riku who had his arms wrapped around her shoulders. Kai brought the blanket back over to them and laid it over their laps and sat down next to Corissa. She patted his knee. "Quick thinking Kai."
"Thanks." The lights came back on along with the movie and Riku got up to get some popcorn. Corissa grabbed her t-shirt and threw it over her head before she sat back down and leaned back against the cushion with her hands over her face. Kai sat down next to her and moved the blanket over her lap and patted her leg. She looked at him and smiled gently and looked back at the TV to see the first movie already over, she grabbed the remote and switched it to the second movie. She glanced at the time and moved over to Kai and laid her head on his shoulder. The smell of popcorn made her straighten up and she smiled happily at Riku.
"I love you the most." She said as she dove into the popcorn, Riku smirked.
"I know." Kai rolled his eyes.
"You two are so bizarre." They shrugged, Riku glanced at Corissa.
"Why'd you put your shirt back on?"
"I don't know."
"You should take it back off I like your bra its pretty." She grinned and pinched his cheeks.
"You're the most adorable little pervert I've ever known but I guess since you like it so much I will." She pulled the shirt over her head and yawned. She leaned back and nearly fell over but Kai caught her. "Oh thank you Kai." She leaned back against him and turned up the volume.
"Get off me."
"But I'm so warm and comfortable. Nope I think I'm going to stay here a little longer." Twenty minutes later and she was sound asleep, Kai sighed and pulled the blanket up and covered her up, and leaning back he watched the rest of the movie with Riku. In the middle of the third one however he fell asleep too, leaving Riku by himself. He smiled and turned off the TV, picking up the cookie dough and the popcorn he walked into the kitchen. He stuck the cookie dough into the fridge and the popcorn he threw away. When he walked back into the livingroom to turn off the lights he saw that Corissa had switched positions and now rested her head on Kai's shoulder digging her nose into his neck, Kai had an arm slung over her lower back. They had pushed the blanket off themselves and cuddled close, Riku smiled and pulled the blanket up enough to cover at least her lower half. Just as he was about to turn off the lights the door opened and his father stepped inside.
"Riku what are you doing up?"
"I was just cleaning up a bit and then I was going to go to bed." George shifted his eyes to the couch and saw Kai and Corissa sound asleep.
"Well isn't that cute." He smiled as he stepped up and placed his hands on his hips as he looked down at the 'couple'. "I have to get a picture of this; Kai is going to be pissed in the morning." He laughed and took out his cell phone snapping a picture of the two.
"Corissa won't be any better; you know how she hates being teased."
"Yeah well I won't tease her, it's just so much fun to see Kai blush."
"Dad you're horrible."
"Yeah I know, Riku go to bed." Riku nodded and ran up the stairs; George pulled the blanket up higher and smiled down at them. "You two are so cute!" He said giving a slight squeak and then walking up the stairs.
