Chapter 2: The Zala Household
In the room of Athrun, were the different paintings of great artists' lies, and were there's a large variety of books can be found; a very controversial fight of the century was held with outmost pride and honor, for those who are simple-minded as the two.
Athrun was just non-chalantly making sarcastic remarks and replies to Shinn, who was outwardly blaming him of his uninformed used of 'his' favorite yellow and black stripe socks. He on the other hand hasn't have enough evidence to accuse Athrun of such thing, was the main argument being imposed in this logical yet useless theme for this uncalled debate.
He, who is holding my socks; and me, who is mindlessly accusing him; part two! – Shinn's perceptive of things…
"Young masters…" Andrew watched horrified, as the two bickered childishly because of a simple socks exchange. 'What in the world is Kira has been doing…' He wondered of the masters' loyal servant, who happens to be his so-called apprentice.
Even though in mid 30's, his face was more like a freckled old man because of his two young masters frequent squabbling, that caused him to worry eccentrically. He just can't handle the two when they are fighting. They are like bombs when something is wrong with the other, or if someone unfortunately commits a mistake. It's just like they just can't live with each other. They are like two opposite forces, when ignited together cause an immediate chemical disturbance. Upon thinking of their unknown or never-will-be-known chemical bond because of their obvious immediate refusal, he took a very deep and loud sigh, while he touched his temple in anxiety.
Now as he stared back at their long quarrel of pure instincts for Shinn and widely used intellect for Athrun, his eyes just kept turning his gaze for both parties.
"In the 116th time…" His blue-haired master took a very long sigh because of his brother's persistence to insanity. "My dearest idiotic brother, Shinn Asuka, I have not and never 'shall' use your…" He then took a grossed look at his brother's yellow and black stripes socks with the brand Huggies (I know…this is for diapers…) on it. "Oddly looking…silly socks…" He ended, while throwing it at him, upon imagining wearing it. 'How could he wear something like that?…how absurd…'He thought...
Name: Athrun Zala
Blood type: AB
Role in the mansion: The Oldest son, dictator of the house, and the most possible heir to the Genesis
Religion: Atheist
Favorites: Reading books, paintings, silent places, doing all the work in the office, making robotic materials, eating salads and pizza, and his specialty, teasing Shinn…
Motto: "I don't mind you, so don't mind me, the end…"
His eyes grew red as well as his face upon hearing his undeniably comments of ridicule about his favorite socks, which have served to be his lucky charm. "How dare you define my socks so lowly?!" He asked furiously to his older brother, with no doubts of concern for their age gap. "For your information these are far greater than the books you've kept, for it gives great power and great mind for its owner!" He exclaimed while wiggling it closer to him, which made his blue-haired brother withdraw in disgust.
Name: Shinn Asuka/ Shinn Zala
Blood type: O
Role in the mansion: Youngest son of Patrick Zala, one of the heirs to their business
Religion: Has recently been a fetishist but had converted his belief into toteism because of the increase in the number of believers to his so-called totem.
Favorites: His yellow and black stripes socks, wrestling, playing computer games, getting scold at, playing pranks on the house keepers, especially to Kira, and listening to music.
Motto: "May the socks be the way to our salvation!"
He knew his brother is stupid, but he didn't know that he was mentally absurd to believe in a totem. He hastily slaps his hand off him, an action away from the grossy socks of his brother. "Shinn, have you lost all of your mentalities?" He raised an eyebrow at his brother. "A sock can never be a charm as what you are trying to portray, or even honor it for." He then paused to find his senses to throw to his beloved brother of discourse. "IT CAN NEVER REPLACE A BOOK FOR PEACE SAKE!!!" He shouted to his ear, to put him in a proper order.
Horror-struck, His eyes just stared in disbelief of his sudden outburst from his impenetrable cold shell to a vulgar personality. His body couldn't move an inch like petrified; and, his eyes couldn't even muster to blink for a split second. "A-Ath-"
"See, what you made me do…" He took a pitiful sigh while restraining his temple into proper senses. He just can't believe he lost his composure because of his stupid brother.
"thrun…" Then a thought hit him; he was loosing to this bastard. This is a great 'NO WAY!' to the infamous Shinn Asuka. "So, you finally blow you cover…a great example of a perfectly imperfection of the successor of Genesis." It was his time to say sarcastic things. He knew he was more of an Ares type of god, but being Athena just for once isn't a bad thing. Athena is the same category as Ares, god/goddess of war; but, she was far more intelligent than Ares will ever be, for she came from Zeus head, an evidence of her proficiency. 'Let's see…What my smartass brother will do…' He chuckled inside of his head upon thinking of possibly winning for once. Yes, just to let you know; he haven't won a single intellectual match with Athrun yet, though he never accepted any of his defeats at the same time.
Athrun just twitched an eyebrow dubiously at his brother. "When did I hide my cover anyways…And what makes you think that I should hide it from you?" He asked in a matter-a-fact tone. "You're not that special you know…" He added simply trying to engage his brother into a simple mentality test. "And being a special child doesn't count." He added sarcastically.
His brows twitched in anger while his teeth started to grit each other rapidly. 'Athena was never been good to me in the beginning. Ares was really the right choice for me to start with!' He thought in contempt. "Well then, maybe someone like me should be counted, forcefully!"
He was about to attack in full force when, a huge bound arms locked both of his arms tightly. "Huh!"
"Master Shinn, fighting physically is bad for your health." The strong bound man said sternly while holding Shinn in great ease; and, unfortunately pain for Shinn. He then turns his gaze to his blue-haired companion, who just settled his emeralds with no certain emotions or whatsoever to the two beings in front of him. "And Master Athrun, please pardon my little nephew here of his insolence. You're older, and should be the model of his respect, so please let your patience last for at least eternity. Though stubborn and almost too proud, Shinn is just as young as a stout in mind. His lack of antiquity's love had made him brittle in temper that he can easily be revolted in simple things as his…." He then scans for the cause of the fight. "socks?" He sound a bit astonished to know that they fought for the simplest of things and the most undesirable of things to fight of.
Name: Kisaka
Blood type: O
Religion: Protestant
Role in the house: Brother of Shinn's mother and currently just a visitor (Character is yet to be known)
Favorites: Every vegetable, training, sophisticated things…etc...
Motto: "Big muscular body will make you a true man."
"KISAKA!!!" Shinn said defensively while earning a loose grip from his uncle.
"I know what you mean Kisaka, but his simple mindedness is a one step process to absurdity, and as his brother, it is my duty to lead him into a proper mentality." Athrun spoke coherently. "Though his attitude seems to be much of an entertainment to my boring life; it still bugs me to be seen with someone as 'him'."
"Who are you calling mentally retarded, you jerk!" Shinn said in contempt.
"Master Athrun, please don't let this fight prolong for much longer!" Their head housekeeper, Andrew hissed unto his master's ear.
Name: Andrew W.
Blood type: A
Role in the mansion: Head housekeeper, and "The Mourning servant of the year"
Religion: Catholic
Favorites: Everything that is green, cupcakes, hamburgers, and tomato juice
Motto: "Make sure you have proper equipments when the masters are in a fight."
"I will say what my heart desire, Sir Andrew." He said superiorly.
"Master Athrun…" Andrew just felt awkward all of a sudden by his master's coldness.
Then, out of nowhere, one of the servants abruptly interrupted the long dead silence enveloping the place. "Master Athrun, Master Shinn! Lord Patrick is here!" He said in each gasp. He was almost out of breath when had arrive, so he took a repeated inhale-exhale exercise to bring his rapid heart beat to normal state.
Upon hearing the news of the servant, their expression became clear, We're dead!
Upon opening the door, an old man in his 50's was revealed with a tight wrinkled face and a body well-built in his age. Although his atmosphere is nonetheless fearless and rigid, his attitude is somehow only a half of it. He was a righteous and objective in all of his actions. Many have respected him because of his personality and sense of justice.
Name: Patrick Zala
Blood type: AB
Religion: Unknown
Role in the house: The BIG boss :D (Character is yet to be discovered)
Favorites: …(Figure it out)
Motto: "Perseverance is the key to everything."
As he walked inside his majestic house, he was greeted first by the most efficient housekeeper, Lady Talia. "Welcome back, my dear lord." She greeted plausibly while giving him a curtsy.
Name: Talia
Blood type: B
Religion: Catholic
Role in the house: A loyal housekeeper (Character is yet to be discovered)
Favorites: Flowers…cleaning, and many more…
Motto: "Like flowers, every person has its beauty."
He just nodded and smiled at her.
While walking, he was followed by greetings, bows and curtsy of his servants. But his mind wondered off to his loyal servant Andrew and his sons, who seem not there to greet him, so he asks. "Where are my sons and Andrew?"
The maids and servants just bowed their heads, having no intention of speaking at all of their masters' conflict.
Suspicious, he turns his gaze to the brunette besides him. "Lady Talia, where are my sons?"
She bit her lower lip and dared to speak her words. "They are upstairs at thy master Athrun's room…"
He eyed her dubiously upon knowing of their location. 'It's odd for them to pluck themselves in one place, especially Athrun's room…'
So without further information, he just went to Athrun's room. And upon opening the door, he was shocked to see such…
Serinity? No fights
Cleanliness? No fights...
Everything is normal for once! No fights…
Shinn studying? Hell no!
"Athrun? Shinn?" He gave them a dubious look. "Are you getting along?"
They both stood up and smiled at their father. Freakishly… "Welcome back, Father!" They both greeted.
'Is it the end of the world already? Or is it just a nightmare? For me to see this kind of thing means there is really a miracle in the world! But well, maybe the two have really gotten along anyways…'
With this, a small smiled was imprinted on his face. "I'm really impressed my sons…I hope this serenity will last forever." He spoke plausibly.
After closing the door…
"What the hell were you saying?!" -Shinn
"I said nothing…" -Athrun
"This two will never change…" -Kisaka
"Master Athrun! Master Shinn." –Andrew
Cagalli's POV
After meeting Kira, I have learned more about the Zala family. He told me that the life there was pretty difficult, especially if you were the guardian of the two masters. I think their name were Athrun, whose intimate eyes shines like an emerald, and Shinn, whose ruby like eyes can pierce your soul. Well, aside from their eye color, he told me more of their personalities, which I found intriguing yet confounding. They were like Psychos or something for fighting for nothing in quantity. Examples of this were: 'The fight for the remote', 'When he suddenly trips, I laugh', 'He is an idiot; I'm smarter!', and that kind of fights are worthless!
Well, in my opinion, Kira isn't that bad. He isn't mentally incapable, but he is mentally disturbed. Does that sound the same? Oh well, never mind! Maybe his insanity was pulled to the limits by those two. And in some way, I became curious of the two that I want to meet them. Actually, I will meet them as a Psychologist. They badly need it. And when I mean it, I mean it. Although according to my source they are suffering from superiority and inferiority complex; I want to go deeper in their case. And hopefully, I'll make my career from psychologist to psychiatrist. Maybe their payment is much higher…And getting used from my clients, I know what it feels to have a conversation with a retard…
A/N: Actually, I've already written this chapter a week ago but I just don't feel like the story is going somewhere…but then please suggest things; if you could. So then I give up, and posted this anyway. Tell me, if It's absurd or something or if it's useless...Anyways, please review or something, chao!
