Uncle Shigure
El Diablo Burrito Akito
Chirp chirp. Chirp. Chirp chirp.
Akito lovingly stroked Polly the 19th on her white head.
"You're so perfect, Polly. So perfect. You symbolize so much in my dreary life. Yes Polly, that's right. You. You are the only friend I have, and for that I am thankful. No one could replace you, Polly. Others have tried, but all have failed. I know my fate, Polly. I know what consequences being Head of the House have. Can I tell you a secret, Polly? Can I? The truth is I don't want to die, Polly. I want to live. For a long time. You see, Polly, no one wants to die and I think that's what we fear the most."
Chirp chirp.
Akito smiled.
"I'm glad we see eye to eye here. …. But, I'm afraid you can't be trusted, seeing as you were LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AS I WAS BEARING MY SOUL TO YOU!"
CHIRP CHIRP-
SQUEEZE!
……………
Akito dropped the now dead Polly on the ground laughing insanely.
"Ha, I'm funny. HATORI! I DEMAND A NEW BIRD!"
No answer.
"HATORI!"
No answer.
"What the fudge is that man doing? Tend to my every whim my ass! HATORI!"
"Akito, I'm on the phone!"
"Funny, I didn't ask what you were doing, I asked for SERVICE! Yet, there you stand, downstairs, as in not up here where I need you, yakking it up with some long lost girlfriend or whatever! Do you think my emotions are something to toy with, Hatori? Do you? Do you enjoy seeing me yell at you? Well, it's more for my own amusement to be honest, so who cares what you think."
Shigure knew that Akito was in a foul mood today (he could hear him through the phone), but he really needed someone to watch Haru, Kyou, and Yuki.
Hatori went back to the phone conversation.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I have no one else."
"Okay, but don't blame me when all three of them turn up dead. AKITO, COME DOWN HERE FOR A MINUTE!"
"WHY? I ASKED YOU TO COME UP HERE, AND NOTHING HAPPENED, SO SEEING AS YOU'RE ASKING ME TO COME DOWN-"
"Just, come down, okay?"
Akito walked down the stairs.
"What?"
"Phone."
Normally, Akito didn't receive ANY phone calls, so he wanted to squeal like an excited 9 year old girl who had gotten her first quarter from the tooth fairy, but being Akito, he snarled at Hatori, grabbed the phone, and in the most bored fashion started talking.
"So, you one of Hatori's one night stands or something? I'd be careful if I were you, he's known to-"
"Hello, Akito."
Dammit.
"Oh, heeeeeeeeey, Shigure. What's going on?"
"I need to ask you a favor."
"Listening?"
Shigure knew that Child Services would object to what he was doing right now, but it had to be done.
"Look, I promised Aya we'd do something today-"
"Oh, you mean a date?"
"NO! And I forgot to ask if anyone could take care of Kyou, Haru ,and Yuki."
Silence…
Akito wasn't one to pick up on obvious questions.
Commentary Bubble pops up with Hatori
"You see, when Shigure said 'And I forgot to ask if anyone could take care of Kyou, Haru, and Yuki' he was giving an obvious hint to Akito who, as mentioned before, does NOT pick up on obvious questions. Why Shigure didn't just say, "Can you watch Kyou, Haru , and Yuki for me" is a mysery we may never know. End of commentary.
Commentary Bubble closes
"Sooooooo, what are you saying?"
"I'm asking you to please take care of them for me. … Please?"
'Hm, I guess. One thing, though."
"Yes?"
"Say 'Please Akito the Good-Great-Magnificent-All-Powerful-Lord-of-Terror. With a cherry on top."
The effect was somehow lessened with the last order…
Shigure sighed.
"Please Akito the Good-Great-Magnificent-All-Powerful-Lord-of-Terror. With a cherry on top."
"Jeez, Shigure, you didn't have to beg. Oh, I forgot, it's in your nature!"
Akito laughed at his own joke while Shigure ground his teeth. Akito abruptly stopped laughing.
"I'll be over in 10." Dial tone.
Haru tugged on Shigure's sleeve.
"What happened, Uncle Shigure?"
"Haru, listen to me carefully okay?"
"Otay."
"If Akito says eat something that does NOT look like food, do NOT eat it. You also have permission to hide in the washer and dryer."
"Otay."
Back at the main house, Akito was on the floor rolling around in circles, laughing hysterically. Hatori sighed and hung up the phone.
"Well, that went fairly well."
(laughs like Akito) CHAPTER 2! FEAR IT! (peace sign) R&R please!
