Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers. This is part of my Power Ranger Universe, albeit an alternate one. Casey is Kim's little brother and she is also Hunter's "Big Sister" (i.e. Big Brother/ Sister Program). Don't worry Casey isn't one of Griff's parents. This is AU to Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Hurricane Chronicles. It is set in a world without Griffin or Dustin. This is set. Casey is a minor, but past the age of consent so I apologize ahead of time if any of you don't like this. This is Hunter/Casey so you are forewarned about the slash! Casey will be referred to Jacob/ Jake/ Jacques throughout most of the story.

Casey Rhodes was living a lie. None of his friends knew it, but he was hiding several secrets from them. The first involving his identity.

Casey Rhodes was an alias he was given when he entered the Pai Zhuq Academy. Jacques 'Jacob' Robert Hart V was the second child born to the Hart's: Jacques Robert 'Robbie' Hart IV and Karalyn Hart. During his childhood his parents separated and his family expanded from four to seven. Young 'Jacob' was already distant from his older sister Kimberly Ann Hart, who was a decade his elder, but adding a stepfather, an older stepsister, and later a young stepsister to the picture only made everything more strained.

However it was Kimberly who fought for the two of them to remain in the States. Their mother wanted to have them join the new family in France, but Kimberly wanted to finish High School (and then compete in the Pan Global Games), while 'Jacob' was worried about not fitting in and leaving everything behind. In the end Kimberly was allowed to remain stateside while her brother joined their mother and stepfather in France. Several Years later after Kim had established herself as a coach and settled down she took her brother in after a falling out with the family in France.

Their stepsister was a total bitch who blamed Jacob and their youngest sibling Gabrielle (nearly two decades younger than Kim) for everything she did and lied to keep them constantly grounded, though Jacob received the brunt of the punishment from their stepfather as their mother was more often shopping in Paris and across the globe than at home seeing how cruel her newest husband and eldest stepdaughter truly were.

So when Casey complained about older sisters he meant it. Fleur was a total bitch and Kimberly was rarely there. However when he did turn 16 she did take him in and away from the crazy life his mother had created in France. Kimberly knew that her younger brother had all the makings of a Power Ranger so after catching up with an old friend (Hunter Bradley, Crimson Thunder Ranger) the discussion intensified. After some discussion with the Sensei of the Wind and Thunder Ninja Academies as well as Hunter and Cam (Samurai Ranger) it was decided that the Pai Zhuq Academy was the way to go for the newly christened Casey Rhodes.

Hunter came up with both names technically. Jacob's first name Casey came from his (Jacob's) love of Baseball and the baseball poem "Casey at Bat." Rhodes came from two sources. Hunter settled on the surname of Rhodes for the younger Hart sibling was about to begin a new journey with many roads lying before him. Kimberly added Rhodes in reference to her favorite flower the Rhododendron. All in all the Pink duo were happy with the new identity they had come up for the young Hart Male. They knew he wanted to start anew after the disasters in France. He wanted to put that chapter behind him. Hunter would never admit it but he always had a soft spot for the youngest Hart (at the time when they lived in Angel Grove). The identity was also created to remove any associations the Hart name had with the other Ninja Academies, as families rarely joined more than one. The Ninjetti Powers technically came from a lost Ninja Academy whose name is now forgotten.

Hunter spent a significant portion of his childhood at the Hart Household with Kimberly, her father, and her younger brother. Even when Mr. Hart and/ or Kimberly was not there he would go to hang with Jacques. The youngest Hart refused to be called by that name always insisting that he wanted to change his name to Casey. Hunter was the one who came up with Jacob. Something to which Casey was still eternally grateful. He was still eternally jealous of how his sister ended up with a normal name, but he had inherited a name.

So while this was all being said and done the youngest Hart… err Rhodes was on his way to meet up with his sister and "her lawyers" to decide his future. On his way to the meeting he received a phone call.

T H E O N E I ' M W A I T I N G F O R

"Hello?"

"Jacob, It's Kim."

"I'm sorry. I know I'm running late."

"Don't sweat it. Can you swing by the house for me?"

"What do you need this time?"

"I forgot the documents mom faxed over."

"Huh?"

"The ones that handed her parental rights over to me."

"Oh. THOSE papers."

"Yeah doofus."

"I resent that."

"Whatever JACQUES."

"That hurt KIMBERLY ANN."

"Fine, fine, Jacob. They're on the table in the hallway by the bathroom."

"Kim…"

"What now?" she snapped.

"You took my house key this morning."

"There should be one hidden in the flowerbox by the bathroom window in the back of the house.

"I'll see you in an hour or so then."

"Thanks again."

"It's no problem. I should thank you again for taking me away from THAT hellhole."

"Unfortunately our mother doesn't' care about us as much as she does her Gucci shoes and Dior sunglasses. We'll be fine. We still have good ole Dad."

"Well I am going to get going. Driving on the phone isn't smart you know. I don't want to crash the car."

"I should let you go. That car wasn't cheap."

"Love you Sis."

"Bye bro."

Jacob hung up and put down his cell phone on the passengers seat and continued on his journey. All he had to do was go home, shower, get dressed, grab the documents and he would be all set. Little did he know it would not be as simple as he planned.

From the first moment he had met Hunter he was hooked. From the mop of messy blonde hair to icy blue eyes Jacob referred to as "oceans," the youngest Hart was head over heals for the eldest Hart's charge. The two boys became quick friends despite the age difference. Kim was happy too as it killed two birds with one stone. Whenever she had to go off Ranger-ing, the two would hang out—fulfilling her duty as a sister and as a "Big Sister"/ mentor.

Many a time Jacob imagined what it'd be like to see that beautiful piece of man laying next to him in his bed. (Well any bed for that matter. Jacob didn't care as long as it was with Hunter). But alas that would never happen; it would only remain a fantasy, for not only were Hunter supposedly straight, but the age difference, and Hunter's role as a family friend and unofficial Hart meant it would never happen.

When Jacob returned home he headed out back to get the spare house key. As he approached the flowerbox in question, Jacob heard something dripping from the house, it was someone coming out of the shower. And it wasn't just anyone.

It was a man.

A blonde man.

A blonde man with a toned body.

And more importantly it was someone he never imagined.

'Oh my god he's gorgeous' thought the young Hart was he peered into the window and saw the blonde's man's backside.

'This can't be him. I must be dreaming' Jacob thought as he saw Hunter's naked dripping body from the window. A birthmark and several pinches confirmed he was indeed not dreaming and that a very naked and dripping wet Hunter Bradley was before him.

It was just as he thought it'd be. Hunter's toned and tanned body was a sight that should have been known as the 8th wonder of the world in Jacob's opinion. There was a light amount of blonde hair on his (Hunter's) chest, legs and arms, and down there...(The last bit came into view when Hunter turned around to take in the view from the bathroom window. Kimberly's house had beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean).

It was too much for Jacob to take in all at once. He heard a slight splatting noise and looked down, there was blood on the ground. He had thought that all of the Yaoi Kat Hillard always tried to give him was joking. But now he knew the Japanese were smarter than they let on. Now that he thought about it his lip felt warm and wet Great a nose bleed, now I have to clean it up...True perverted moments did result in nosebleeds.

Hunter had noticed that someone was standing outside of his window (and heard the splash of blood), so he grabbed a towel and headed out to see who it was. Kimberly's house was fairly separated from her neighbor's lots to either side and she lacked a pool, so Hunter knew there was someone out back. To his surprise he found Jacob standing there look at the ground where he could see a few drops of blood. He too was subjected to Kat Hillard's yaoi phase so he had a good idea of what had just transpired.

"Hey Jacob what are you doing?" Hunter addressed him now wearing a towel he seemed a bit annoyed. He was confused as to why the younger Hart was not in France.

"Oh I tripped and fell. Don't you remember how klutzy I am? I take after Kim in that department too!" Jacob said the last bit with pride. 'That explains the nose bleed' Hunter thought. "Kim's taken custody over me. France got messy."

"I don't see any dirt on you though" Hunter's voice was sounding increasingly annoyed. "And I figured it did when you stopped writing to me dude."

"Ummm...I-I" Jacob stuttered. He was speechless. He always fanaticized about a naked Hunter, but this was too much for his brain. He was too distracted by Hunter's body to think up a good excuse, he was too busy trying not to stare

Hunter's eyes widened a bit "Oh I see" he said almost seductively. He knew that he was going to enjoy torturing Kim's little brother. "You were watching me come out of the shower weren't you?"

'Fuck,' Jacob thought. 'Now I'm gonna get it. Kim is going to hear about this. Hunter must think that I'm some gay peeping Tom or something. This isn't good. I didn't want to Come Out now either to Kim. Damn you Hunter and your sexy body.'

"Hunter please, please don't tell Kim. I can't get in trouble I swear I'll never do it again! I don't want to go back to France!!"

Hunter liked hearing Jacob beg, it was so unusual yet so pleasing. Jacob was well behaved as a child and always considerate of others. It was so out of character that Hunter wanted to push the younger male further.

"Fine, I won't tell your sister."

"Thank you Hunter! Thank you so much! You don't know how much this means to me."

Jacob started to run off but Hunter grabbed the back of his shirt before he could get too far.

"Dude, I said I wouldn't tell your sister." Hunter paused and Jacob was confused.

"However, that doesn't mean your off the hook" He said with a devilish look in his eyes "Come inside"

'What's going on? Why is Hunter here? Why is he asking me to come insi…'

The thought was cut off, as he understood what was going on.

"Jacob are you coming?" Hunter asked breaking Jacob out of his thoughts. "You don't want Kim hearing about this right?"

"Oh, Right" he replied following the taller blonde.

"So you wanted to see my body?" Hunter asked. Hunter liked toying with Jacob. He had waited far too long for this.

Jacob was speechless.

"You should have just said something." Hunter winked at Jacob and dropped his towel.

Jacob was able to get the full view of Hunter. Before he only saw as much as Hunter's navel due to the height of the window. Jacob's jaw dropped to the floor (like in anime) at the same time Hunter's towel did. The poor younger blonde's penis raised by the time the towel hit the floor.

'I can't believe this! It's not just a fantasy anymore. I get to be with Hunter. Or at least see him naked' Jacob thought. He snapped out of his thoughts and then asked "Hunter-san What are you doing?" as he say the new site before him.

The two had locked the back door and proceeded to the Jacob's bedroom. Hunter currently was seated on Jacob's bed pumping his penis with his right hand.

"Giving you what you wanted, a view to remember. Or do you want more than that? Isn't that what you always wanted Hart? I'm not stupid. I remember all those extended glances of yours. And how your hands would always brush mine longer than necessary. I'm not dumb." Jacob interrupted with a chuckle.

"On the contrary I just had to wait for you to no longer be jail bait."

Jacob's jaw once more hit the floor.

Author's Note

I know it's a lot to take in, but its fun. I was craving a Hunter-Casey. Whispering Ranger promised one but has yet to fulfill it so I took it into my own hands. Like I said in the disclaimer, Casey is Kimberly's little brother Jacob. Jacob is sixteen/seventeen hunter is 25-ish so it is kind of creepy still, but hey if Kira and Dr. O can fuck, so can Hunter and Casey.

Casey's identity as Casey came up as explained in the fic. His full name/ identity as a Hart, Jacques Robert Hart V is a mix of things.

Jacques because their stepfather and mother move to France.

Robert because of his role as Robbie on Home and Away.

Hart is obvious.

V is a reference to the number five, the number most commonly assigned to Pink Rangers.

The stepsisters' names come from Harry Potter. In reference to Fleur and her sister Gabrielle.

The title comes from a Relient K Song.

I know it's a little wacky, but I can't help it. The plot bunnies were attacking. They made me do it!

I will be working on one-shots/ mini series for the time being as no one seems to be reading PRNS: Hurricane Chronicles any more. That and I am running out of ideas for it currently.

Hope you enjoy it!

Please Review.
