"Tea?" Asked a young girl who looked like she was a sweet four year old, when in actuality she was a six year old who had a nasty temper.
"Yes please" Said a man who chuckled at his young daughter as her sharp green eyes locked with a plastic tea pot, her jet black hair falling off her shoulder and into her face as she picked it up moving toward her father's cup.
"Tell me when daddy! Oh and do please be careful, your falling off the seat!" she said shaking her head in a displeased way.
The girl's father smiled sheepishly as he shifted a bit on the tiny plastic chair his daughter had him sitting on, he watched as she finished pouring the 'Tea', she wasn't allowed stuff like that so he made sure it was filled with juice instead.
"When." He said smiling as she stopped put the pot down moved the hair out of her face, then proceeded to push the cup to her father sitting herself down as she smiled at him.
Her father picked up the small cup and finished the juice in one gulp; he then looked at his daughter to see she was giving him another displeased look.
"Zahra? Did I do something?" He leaned his face into his hand that was plopped up on his knee. She stood up and walked toward him, he looked at her outfit, it was started with her purple polka dotted socks up to her black tights to the long highlighter green shirt/dress whatever you wanted to call it, she stuck her hands on her hips letting her loose hair fall in her face as she tapped her foot, green eyes narrowing.
"Daddy!! We talked about this! You have to drink it slow! You always do that!! AHH! What happened to all the cookies!? DADDY!?" She squealed, it was adorable but scary at the same time.
"Ehehe... Sorry sweetheart, I forgot, how about we go get some cookies at the store?" he said smiling softly as she gave him the 'look'.
"Okay, I forgive you... Can we go get the cookies now?"
"Yes we can."
"Really? Promise?" He smiled, she was always like this, he had never broke a promise too her.
"Promise, let me go get my coat and we can go."
"YAY!" she squealed running off to get her shoes on, grabbing his coat out of the closet he followed after her.
"RAY!" He stopped and looked at the girl he once loved, who was now using their child as blackmail to make him stay with her.
"Are you ready to g- where are you going?" she asked in an upset tone.
"I promised Zahra I'd take her to the store." he said as if it was the most oblivious thing ever.
"RAY! YOU CAN'T!" she screeched in her irritating voice.
"And may I ask why not? She is my daughter Olivia." He shoots her a cold glare as his golden eyes slit.
"Yes, Well, We have to leave now! Tyson's party remember?" She said glaring as Zahra rounded the corner.
"Daddy ready... To go?" Ray continued to glare at Olivia.
"That weird, how it that I haven't heard anything about there being a party, last time I checked I was going to the store, I don't remember accepting any sort of invitation." He said intensifying his glare.
"I may have accepted with out consulting you but..."
"BUT NOTHING OLIVIA!" Zahra gasped and ran hiding on the stairs.
"It's just that you haven't seen your friends since we got together that's 7 years? All because of that thing we have now..." she muttered glaring at Zahra who was still on the stairs.
"She not a thing Olivia she's OUR daughter!" Now it was Olivia's turn to glare.
"I didn't even want her! It was you, all you 'Oh Olivia darling! PLEASE KEEP HER! ILL DO ANYTHING!! Blah blah blah' All you Ray, all you" She said shaking a bit tears welling in her eyes.
"Olivia..." Ray stopped glaring and looked guilty. "That THING Means NOTHING to ME!!" Olivia cried as tears ran down her face, she clenched her hands in a tight fist, gritting her teeth to stop her crying.
On the stairs Zahra had tears running down her face as she chocked on her sobbing, her fingers were stuck in her ears so she didn't have to hear her mom, her mother was always like this, and it hurt, it hurt a lot.
"Alright, let's go… The party starts in?" Olivia calmed down and smiled wiping the tears off her face.
"The party starts in Ten minutes, so we'll be a little late." Olivia walked toward her bedroom, Ray sighed and looked to the stairs, this was the first time he was going to break a promise to his sweet little angle.
"Zahra honey… Daddy can't go to the store with yo-"Ray had been cut off by the tiny girl.
"Daddy you... you… pr-prommm-promised!" she had tears running down her face, sobbing quite loudly, she just couldn't believe her daddy was breaking a promise, he never did that!
"I know sweetie but daddy will be home later! Will go then, how's that sound?" He said wiping her tears, she pulled away from him and took three step back, heading up the stairs.
"Ray what's taking so long! WHAT! You're not even ready yet!" She directed her gaze to the tiny sobbing girl.
"You BRAT! Your father gets to do nothing anymore and it's your entire fault! All you do is cry and cry like a tiny baby, your six GROW UP! YOU SELFISH KID!" Olivia was glaring at the girl, Zahra stopped crying due to shock but quickly recovered, her mother was right, it was her fault.
Zahra ran up the stairs, stopping at the top.
"I hate you!" She muttered quietly, she then spoke up so they could hear her.
"I HATE YOU BOTH!" she was crying again now, harder then before running toward her room and slamming the door shut behind her.
"WHY THAT BRAT!" Olivia growled as she started up the stairs, but stopped when Ray grabbed her hand.
"Why are you stopping me Ray? She shouldn't talk to you like that! You do everything for her! She has to learn she can't be selfish!" Olivia pulled her arm from Rays grasp.
"I'll handle her when I'm finished getting ready, go do something while you wait." He said as his bangs covered his eyes.
"Alright…" She glared one last time up the stairs and then headed toward the living room to watch the T.V.
Ray went into his room and started changing, 'I HATE YOU BOTH!' the memory still hanging in his head.
Ray finished getting ready and dialed a number. "Hello, Becky? Yes its Ray, could you watch Zahra until I come home? Thank you, Bye." Ray hung up throwing the phone on his bed.
Ray sighed and headed up the stairs to Zahra's bedroom, it had been twenty minutes or so since she shut her bedroom door. Upon entering Ray doesn't see her, he walks in a little more and finally seen her on her bed, she was under the blankets hiding her face, Ray smiles softly and fell to his knees in front of the bed.
"Princess, hey honey?" Ray lifted her hand from her face, he smiled seeing her already asleep, but quickly frowned when he seen the tears. Ray wiped then softly off her face.
"I'm sorry angel… I'm so sorry..." Ray stroked her hair softly.
"I'll be home later, I promise, love you sweetheart." Ray softly kissed her forehead before he stood up to walk to her door, as he got there he grabbed the handle. "I love you" he whispered lovingly, softly shutting the door.
Ray started down the stairs, putting on his coat. "Come on Olivia! We're leaving." He called to her, he heard her footsteps as she came into the hall, "Finally! What was taking so long! Agh! Doesn't matter lets go!" She said slipping on her shoes, just then the door bell rang.
"I got it" Said Ray as he opened the door to see a teenager with blond hair and big blue eyes.
"Hello Mr. Kon! Where's the angel?" She asked smiling, the young girl was Becky and Becky just adored Zahra, she was smart and was a great babysitter.
"Upstairs sleeping, she'll wake up later, but until then make your self at home!" He said smiling, the girls face lifted up.
"Do you mind if I use the computer?" She asked, it was one of those things she always had to do, she wouldn't do anything without asking him first.
"Not at all Becky, just keep your music down please." He said as Olivia walked out of the house and got into the car.
"Will do sir! See you! Have a nice time!" Ray nodded smiling at the girl as he started for the car, watching as Becky shut the door.
Ray got in the car and started it, "How far away is it again Ray?" She asked as she filed her nails.
"About 15 minuets shouldn't be long…" he said pulling out of the parking lot, 'Sorry Zahra, when I get back I'll make it up to you… I promise!' he thought to himself.
Soon time had past and they were now pulling up and parking in front of the dojo.
Ray sighed and moved his gaze over to Olivia who had just looked up from filing her nails.
"This is it? Ew, Gross. Disgusting! Are you sure this is the pla-"
"Yes"
"So this is where your fri-"
"Yes"
"Can you Shut u-"
"Yes"
"Will yo-"
"No"
"Ra-"
"just get out of the car Olivia.." Ray sighed.
"FINE! ARG! WHATEVER!" She opened the door clenching her fists glaring at the dojo and muttering about how revolting it was.
Ray stepped out of the car, stretching a bit, he looked at Olivia and became instantly worried.
"Be nice... Alright?" he said giving her the 'I'm-not-Fooling' face, Olivia smirked at Ray.
"I always am…" She gave him a wink and started inside, he rolled his eyes and sighed.
"And here I thought only women did that, I guess I had that wrong, women and Kon's do." Ray smiled a bit and turned around coming face to face with a tall, pale Russian. Ray gave him a look that said, 'are-you-kidding-for-your-own-safety-I-hope' as he stared into the laughing crimson eyes.
"Har Har Har, Very funny Kai…" He rolled his eyes once again, gaining a gasp from Kai, "DON'T! Even say it Kai." Ray interrupted before Kai had a chance, causing Kai to Smirk, "Wasn't going to..." Ray gave him the all knowing look. "Right and I have wings..." He gave Kai his own victory Smirk, causing Kai to grin a bit, "Last time I checked Cats can't fly." That comment caused Ray to glare.
"Ray… I want you to be careful, my grandfather almost got Max last week, first Tyson then Kenny, now max? I sure, no I'm positive you'll be next, just watch out please… you're my best friend and I don't want to see you hurt…" Kai said turning serious and worried all of a sudden.
"I promise Kai, I'm kind of scared, I mean I have a child how am I going to protect her if I get…"
"Ray, please stop thinking like that, your not going to die! I won't let you, I swear, ill protect you and your family, you don't have to worry. I promise, and hey, my promises are good as gold right?" Ray smiles softly at him and in a small tone reply's back "Yeah, your right…" Kai gives Ray one of his small rare smiles and heads toward the door.
"I hope your right Kai, but I can't help but feel like, this day is going to be the worse day of your life…" Ray feels around in his jean pockets and grabs a pen, looking in the pocket of his black dress shirt, he pulls up a small piece of paper, he gently leans on his car writing something on the paper and then folding it neatly and putting it back in his pocket. Ray sighed and looked around, he made the choice to write what he wrote because of the black sports car that was parked a few feet down the road, still running, he put on his smiling face and walked into the Dojo, slipping off his shoes.
"RAY! SO GLAD TO SEE YOU!" right when Ray entered the living room he was tackled to the ground by a pink fluff ball.
"Hey Mar, how are you?" he smiled her, Mariah was one of his best girl friends, they where as close as he and Kai where.
"I'm fine, I'm getting married soon! Kevin asked and I said yes, you're the first to know, you're his best man! I'm so happy, finally every thing is falling into place! I mean the Demolition Boy are almost all married and settled down!"
"That's great! My little sister, finally getting married, this is amazing news! Wait did you say almost all the Demolition boy? Has Tala settled down yet?" He asked curiosity getting the better of him, he looked forward back at Mariah but she had wandered off, he sighed.
"In fact, I am Ray. I'm happily married and have three children, and you my friend? " Said a smirking voice behind him. Ray turned around to come face to face with yet another Russian. "Hi to you too Tala."
"I have a beautiful 6 year old named Zahra, Want to see some pictures?" Ray asked smiling, he watched as Tala's eyes lit up. "May I see them?" Ray nodded at the two went and sat down.
Ray reached into his back pocket pulling out a wallet before sitting down, he opened his wallet and a few pictures fell out. "Do you have pictures of your kids with you?" Ray asked as he showed Tala one of Zahra riding a horse, in sparkly blue shirt and jeans, with a black cowgirl hat on her head, black hair pulled into a low pony tail. "I do, Hahaha she doesn't look so happy here." Tala said pointing to the girl frowning. "She didn't want to ride the horse, she was scared at first and then she complained that it was too slow, it was tiresome." Ray smiled at the memory.
"This is adorable, bet you haven't shown her this one, huh?" Ray snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the picture Tala was holding. It was the one taken in the fall when she fell asleep under the tree in their backyard, her hair in a pony tail, the leaves were all different colours and some where even falling on the girl. She was wearing a pair of semi white shorts, they seemed to have a bit of mud on them, she was wearing orange monkey socks with a pair of black shoes, her shirt was orange and she was wearing a long rainbow coat/sweater looking thing.
"Nope, don't think I will, it's a special picture, you may never see her this peaceful and cute." Ray said smiling even brighter, he remembered this picture was taken the day Olivia went away to see her parents. Ray looked back at Tala who was still flipping threw the pictures. "What about your kids?" Ray asked curios, Tala smirked a bit. "I have one older girl, loves science and experiments her names Alexandrea. I have two twins also, the youngest is my little Angel Jennifer, she's smart cute and like yours 6, Born on Halloween day." Ray laughs watching Tala swing his arms around to explain what he was saying.
"What about the Middle child?" Ray asked giving Tala a look, Tala's eyes widened he smirked.
"He's a demon, horrible little kid, but I got to admit funny as hell." Ray sighed
"Win some lose some, some children are like that, you can't help It-" Ray was cut off as Tala grinned and pointed out a fact that made Ray burst out laughing.
"His names Damieonte, but we just call him Damien" (Dame-e-on-tay)
"You're kidding right?" Ray laughed after he settled his laughing down.
"Nope, I thought it would be cute and funny, I didn't think he'd be an actual demon!"
"You set yourself up for that one Tal" Ray said shaking his head with a smile.
"Ah ah ah! You forget kitten, He was born on Halloween, he is after all Jen's Twin."
Ray lost it, Tala always did this to him, telling him things that made him smile or laugh.
"Tell me about them, what did you do on... Sunday?" Ray asked interested in Tala's family.
"Hmmm, Alex had a sleepover so she didn't come with us, but we went to church, like we do every Sunday…" Tala said leaning on his arm pulling a thinking look.
"You go to church?" Ray was kind of surprised.
"My wife's friend makes her so she makes me and the kids…" Ray nodded in understanding.
Ray smiled and was about to ask Tala something when he was cut of by a little girl, the little girl had long brown hair pulled into two pony tails and beautiful blue eyes, she was carrying around a yellow blanket, she wore a green, dark green, and white striped shirt and blue jean overalls. The little girl grabbed onto Tala's arm and shook it.
"Daddy!" The voice held a shy tone, it could be from all the people around, but it held a cute chime sound too not to mention a 'ha-ha-someone's-in-trouble' tone.
"What is it Jelly bean?" Tala asked picking the young girl up.
"Damien's digging in the yard for worms to put in uncle Kai's tea again!" she said in a Childs Tattling voice, the news caused Tala to sigh.
"Go tell him to stop, I'll be right there." He set the girl down.
"Okay daddy!" "DAMIEN!!" That's all the two men heard as she ran off to her brother.
"You brought your kids?" Ray asked, he didn't know they could.
"Yeah, we weren't allowed but I got special permission." Tala said standing up and stretching.
"Permission?" Ray asked.
"Yeah, my Wife is on a Trip, so I had to take the kids, I only wish I could have left them back in Moscow." He said with a laughing voice.
"Well, I guess I'll go find Tyson or Max, you should go find your demon and jelly bean." Ray said with a smile and he stood up and walked off.
"Bye Ray, Talk to you later! Now for that child, DAMIEN!" Tala begun to walk outside in search of his daughter and son.
"Max, Tyson, Tyson, Max… Where are they…?" Ray muttered looking around for them.
"RAY!" Ray knew that voice, he turned around and glared, "Olivia.."
"Im SO Bored Ray! I wanna go home! NOW! Take me home!" She said sounding like a four year old.
'Zahra's more mature..' he thought. "Olivia i want to say Hi too Tyson at least, i mean i haven't seen them in years." He tried to reason.
"FINE! But hurry up! i want to get home!" She said in a childish voice walking over to a chair.
Ray walked around he saw a lot of people he wanted to see but no Max and Tyson.
"RAY! is that you? Its been Seven years..." Ray turned around to come face to face with a Blond boy, Max didn't change that much, besides the fact he had a cast on his arm and leg.
"Max? Its great t-" Ray was cut off as Max walked over to him and hugged him.
"Why didn't you call us? Seven years Ray..Seven.. Not a phone call not a vist, nothing from you.." Max was sure he had tears in his eyes.
"Ray?" Ray looked over and saw Tyson, Tyson didn't change that much either. "Hey Tyson, heard about what happened."
Tyson smiled softly before walking over to him, "yeah, being poisoned is not fun, Ray... I don't even know what to say.." He started, looking down.
"How about you better come and vist later, and ill let you go for now since your wife is upset and wants to leave?" Ray offered with a silly smile. Tyson nodded, Max let go and looked up.
"come vist us soon Ray!" Max smiled walking over to a girl that was playing with a little girl that happened to look a lot like Tala's child.
"Yeah man, come see us soon!" Tyson grinned and walked over too Hilary, Ray smiled and looked around spotting Kenny with Emily, Kai Talking to Tala, while tala was holding on too, a little boy with dirty blond hair and blue eyes.
"Tala, Kai, Im leaving." Ray said walking over to them.
"Oh, Bye Ray!" Tala said.
"See ya Ray." Kai Said, Ray began toward his wife listing in on the conversation of Tala, and Kais.
"Damien, did you put worms in Kai's Drink?" Tala said upset.
"No!!!" Damien said.
"Your sister told me you where digging for worms." Tala Pushed.
"Yeah! But i didn't put them in uncle Kai's Drink!" The boy said.
"Then who's?" Kai finally said.
"Uncle Bryans of course! Duh!" the boy said giggling.
Ray shook his head, he glanced around and noticed Mariah.
"Hey Mar, Im leaving." She smiled at him as he walked over.
"See ya Ray, I'll vist you and Zahra soon, alright?" Ray smiled and pulled out the piece of paper he wrote on before he went into the Dojo.
"Alrighty, but Mar, i want you to have this, only read it if something happens alright?" Ray siad in a serious tone.
"Alright? I'll keep it safe till then... Love you borther!" She smiled giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"By Mariah... Sorry that i might not make it to your wedding.." he muttered the last part so she couldn't hear as he walked toward Olivia, slipping on his shoes.
"Come on Olivia.." he said walking out the door.
"Finally!" She sighed, walking after him.
Meanwhile...
"Now Zahra, i think it's time for bed! We've been painting all day!" Becky Smiled at the tired little girl.
"Will you read me a story Becky?" She asked gathering her pictures, Becky smiled.
"Sure hun!" She gathered the little princess up in her arms.
"Do you think daddy will like this picture?" She asked showing becky one of her drawlings, Becky nodded but something caught her eyes.
"You don't have a kitty cat do you Zahra?" the little girl shook her head.
"Mommy doesn't like them, but when im older i wanna kitty just like Aunty Mariah!" Becky giggled at the girl.
They made it up the steps and Becky pushed open the door with her foot, lying the girl on the bed.
"Becky.. do you think Daddy's mad at me?" Becky gave the girl a weird look.
"No sweety.. Why would you think that?" Becky asked tucking the girl in bed.
"Because I told him I Hated him.. and I didn't say I love you come home safe this time.." the little girl said in a soft voice.
"Well tomorrow when you see him, run up too him give him a big hug!"
"and a kiss on the cheek!" Becky laughed.
"And a Kiss on the cheek, show him your pictures and tell him your sorry and you love him." Becky ruffled the girls hair.
"Thanks becky!" the little girl giggled.
"I'll tell you a story when i geet back, i need a drink." Becky walked out and sat on the stairs softly sobbing.
"Im sorry Zahra.." she looked at her watch, it was almost time..
"I don't think i can do it, be a part of this, hurt this little girl.." she muttered.
"Please Ray, live, i don't think i could deal with myself if you didn't, i knew i should have told you.. i knew it.."
Beckys tears rolled down her face as she watched ther clock slowly tick away...
