Chapter 3! Getting Down to Buisness!

Neri screamed as they were in the cyclon while Vaati held his ears. "Dear goddesses, would you keep quiet? You're perfectly fine!"

"I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE, I'M GOING TO DIE, AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!"

"...You do realize we are home, right?"

She looked at her feet and realized they were on solid ground. "Oh."

"Uhg....My dear god. I got a headache now....." Vaati said, rubbing his temples.

"Good." She stuck her tongue out.

He glared before walking ahead into the palace. "Come along, I shall show you to your room."

She followed behind him and looked at the few portraits on the walls. Neri frowned at the fact that most of them were of her when she was a baby.

She passed by another one that was her and Vaati, the baby in the portrait tugged at his cape.

'I dunno what's werider.....the palace or him......' Neri thought.

"I can hear your thoughts Neri." Vaati said, over his shoulder.

"Damn."

"You used to love my cape." He frowned at the memory.

"Why isn't my mother in any of the portraits?"

"I burned those after you two left."

'He needs to be in a mental home....'

"MY SANTIY IS JUST FINE!" Vaati shouted.

"Yeah, and you are letting an 11 year old get to you, how typical of you."

"Who said that?" Vaati glanced around.

"I believe you just proved my point." Neri smirked.

He rubbed his temple. "I'm just stressed, that's all."

"What's the matter, can't take a little girl?"

"I haven't gotten a good rest the past few years and it's catching up, that's all." He tried assuring himself.

"Where's Lisat? You better let him go before training or I'll-"

"You'll what, Neri? What could you possibly do to me?"

"I'll burn the shit outta you trust me!" Neri said.

"Try if you want, and I'll make sure Lisat will never see the light of day again." Vaati countered.

This made Neri quiet. Not wanting to hurt another one of her friends, she was forced to comply.

"You enjoy using my best friends against me don't you?" Neri asked.

"Now I didn't say that......but it's the only thing that seems to keep you in line." Vaati said, smirking a little.

"You're sadistic."

"It gets people to listen to me so I'm perfectly fine with it."

"...I so hope I don't take after you."

He turned to face her. "Look, I have been looking for you for eight fu- years. I understand that you were hoping your father wasn't like this but too bad."

"Yeah, you know me so well..." Neri said rolling her eyes.

Vaati glared at her.

"Do you want to see your little boy toy or not? Because I'll feed him to the Like Likes if you keep your smart shit up."

"Oh Daddy cursed." She scoffed.

"That's it." He snapped his fingers and two Like Likes appeared. "If you don't cut it out then I'll feed you to the Like Likes."

Neri smirked a little.

"I dare you to, even if you did then who would carry on your legacy? I don't see any other sorry suckers around." Neri scoffed once more.

As the readers can tell Neri is a lot like Tertra, brash and smart-mouthed.

Vaati frowned. "Damn it. Well at least we know you inherited my intellegence."

"What intellegence?"

"Take her to her room!" He snapped at the Like Likes. "If you even try anything I will kill you two, so help me. Same goes for you, Neri. Of course the concequences will be far worse."

She sighed as she was led off by the Like Likes.

"And get her changed for training!"

Neri was led to a small, sea-ward facing room.

There she was changed into a plain snow white dress that looked a lot like Princess Zelda's dress, just no belt or anything like that.

And she HATED it.

She was led into the training room where Vaati was.

"What'd you put on the dress, small pox? It's freakin' itchy!" Neri complained.

"That's nice." He replied distractedly.

"Well can we just get this the fuck over with?"

"Language."

"Oh, can we please get this the fuck over with?" Neri said, not trying to use better lanuage.

"But you look so cute in that dress." Vaati said, smiling at the fact that Neri hated the thing.

"And you have bad taste in clothes...." Neri muttered, sneezing out silver jets of flames.

He looked down at himself. "I find my clothes fine."

"Sure, Misour Purple."

"Moving on." He gritted his teeth. "I'm going to teach you energy blasts. You'll have to channel your emotions and power for this to work. Got it?"

"No not really..." Neri said, already making a silver ball of aura in her white-gloved hands. "Like this?"

"Perfect, now just throw it before it blo-"

A boom sounded and smoke covered the room. Vaati coughed and had soot all over him. "Blows up."

Neri sweatdroped and smirked at her soot corvered farther.

"Opps, did I do that?" she scoffed. It's obivous somemone's trying to raise hell.

"You take after me." He declared after a long minute of silence.

She winced at the news and he smirked at the fact that it had hurt her to hear that. "I'm nothing like you."

"Whatever you say, darling."

Neri threw a silver energy blast at her dad, and hit him dead in the face.

He flung back and hit the floor. "Fine that's enough for today." The Wind Mage glared daggers at her.

"Sir, dinner is ready." A Darknut walked up to the two.

Vaati muttered something about how it couldn't have been timed worse.

"Very well, Neri meet me in the dinning hall." He looked down at his clothes in distaste. "I'll be there in an hour or so."

"But, I wanted to see Lisat...." Neri said, not really wanting dinner. Or imagining what dinner was. "...What about me? Don't I get to change?" She asked.

"You're not dirty, I don't see why you'd have to."

"But it itches and it's so tight on me, I can't freakin' see my ass!"

"You are far too young to try to look sexy. The dress stays."

"Asshole..." Neri muttered crossing her arms angrily.

"I heard that." a voice called from afar.

"Good! I'll it say louder, you asshole!"

He ignored her as he went to change.
