****** Words ****** - flashbacks

At the sounds of the words " You're on your own kid." My eyes widened and I could feel my heart crack and break into a million and one pieces.

" What do you mean I'm on my own? How could you say that to me?"

" You heard me You own your own. I don't want to have anything to do with this, plain and simple. Now take your creepy fucking friends and bounce, I'm not gonna get into trouble for this." He said harshly to me. While he glared daggers at Zaki who at the moment had her back to him and I.

I was speechless. I couldn't believe he was saying these things to me. How could he? What had happened to the Edge that I had grown to love? What happened to the boy who once told me I was like no other and he would never hurt me?

"The sun didn't wake up this morning." I said as I looked up at the cloudy gray sky.

" Lazy bastard."

" I know reminds me of someone I know." I smirked.

" What you trying to say, huh?" he asked as he poked me in the back of my head.

" Nothing, just the sun should stop following your example."

" Oh so I'm lazy now?"

" Yep, and funny looking too." I smiled as I poked him in the chest and ran.

Edge ran after me, chasing me through town until I was caught trying to lose him in a crowd of teenagers.

I should have known that wouldn't have worked, considering I was smaller than all the other kids my age. I was a rather short nine-year-old and not every nine-year-old wears an oversized leather jacket, a mechanic jumpsuit, with a head full of messy black hair that was currently purple on one side. I had been experimenting with Kool-Aid and my hair. Needless to say it didn't come out as well as I thought it would.

When I was caught, I was picked up and slung over the shoulder like a wet sack of rice.

" Put me down!" I protested. " This is so not funny!"

Eiji just laughed at me as he began screaming into the crowd. " Girl for sale! Girl for sale! I give you good price! Only four Yen!"

" Hey!" I cried. " I am so worth more than Four yen, I'm at least 20."

" You think so? And here I am thinking I was asking for too much." He laughed.

" Ha- ha real funny." I said sarcastically. " Now put me down."

After Edge's bout with stupidity, he took me to the fishing pond. As we lay on the grass tossing stones into the water, seeing who could skip the most stones I began to talk.

" Edge why are you so nice to me?"

" Huh?" he said raising an eyebrow.

" Why you so nice to me? I mean aren't you suppose to be some hot shot bad ass?"

" Who says I'm not?"

" Come off it. Please you a bad ass…gimme a break."

" You know you better watch how you talk to me girl. I can hurt you, you know."

I snickered in his face. It wasn't a whole laugh but more like a suppressed giggle.

" Oh you don't believe me? "

" Nope!"

"OH yeah!" he said as he stood up. " I'll teach you," he said with a serious look on his face.

For a moment I re-thought my poking fun at him. He was still older than me by a few years and was lot taller than me. Needless to say I still only weighted about 70 pounds to his 110. Then I remembered that he couldn't do me any real harm for he was afraid of my brother, So I continued.

" What ya gonna do, poke me in the eye with your hair?" I said with a triumphant smirk on my face.

I shouldn't have said that because the next thing I know, I am once again in the air and being tossed into the fishing pond.

That was the very first time I realized that if I was going to make fun of him, I was to make sure I really had the upper hand.
There were many times in the years to come where I was tossed into that same pond and occasionally taking him with me.

" How can you say that to me?" I asked him as my voice shook slightly.

" Easy." He said.

" But…"

" Look Kira, I don't have time for this shit. Whatever the fuck you're up too I want no part of it."

I couldn't help myself. I smacked him. How dare he say such things to me? How dare he treat me like I was just some regular whore on the street? Tears began to slip from my eyes; my face was a stone glare.

" What the fuck did you just hit me for?" He asked as he rubbed the side of his face.

" Because you're a insensitive bastard! You're an asshole that's why! How dare you talk to me like that! I don't give a fuck who the fuck is here, How fucking dare you! " I screamed.

I was upset, no I was pissed the hell off. There was no explanation for the anger I felt at that very moment. All the years I had spent getting to know him. All the years I had spent peeling away at the layers of his character. All the years I spent in love with him. For him to treat me as if I was just somebody he had just meet.
The times when it was just he and I alone, spending the day or night together.

Early morning I was awakened by the sounds of stones hitting my window. Crawling out my bed I rubbed my eyes and went to see what was making all that noise outside. To my surprise there stood Edge. Opening the window I stuck my head outside.

" What are you doing here?" I whispered. " It's like five am, have you lost your mind?"

" Come downstairs." He whispered back.

Rolling my eyes I grabbed my jacket, put on my boots without tying them and crept downstairs to the back door. Edge was standing there with his hands in his pockets and looking up to see if I had went back to sleep. He had good reason too, I had done that and left him out there a few times.

" What are you doing here?" I asked him when I stepped outside into the night. The cold air hit me and I clenched the ends of my jacket tightly closed.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my nose. " I missed you."

" So you walked six blocks here in the middle of the might to tell me that?" I asked as I began to shiver slightly from the cold.

Edge took off his blue jacket and wrapped it around me. He said he just wanted to talk to me. Even as I complained that he was crazy, I loved the idea. I thought it was really sweet of him to be thinking of me and leave his house at this time just to see me.

For the next hour we sat in my backyard talking. Me in his arms to keep warm as we talked about absolutely nothing. Ever so often he would place a well-timed kiss on my neck or wait until I would turn to look at him and kiss me on my lips. It was the most romantic thing ever for me at the time.

My romantic morning ended with the sounds of my brother waking up and going to do his regular routine of workouts.

" I have to go." I said reluctantly.

Edge stood up with me and just smiled. I loved the way he looked when he smiled. It wasn't that psycho one he gives people nowadays. This smile was genuine and all mine.

" Will you come see me again?" Tilting my head I asked him.

" Do you want me too?"

" It would be nice."

" You know what else would be nice?" he asked me.

" No, what?"

He responded with a lovely deep embrace and long sweet kiss. I could have stood that way forever. Yet the sounds of my brother calling my name cut it short.

Spitting out a curse I pushed Edge away from me as he pulled away from me simultaneously. Before I could utter some more nasty things about my brothers timing skills, Edge was gone. With a sigh mixed with joy and sadness, I slowly strolled towards my home.

My brother stood in the kitchen with a glass of some sorts of health drink that looking like pig slop in his hand.

" What were you doing outside in your night clothes?" he asked.

" Watching the sun rise." I lied.

Making my way upstairs to my room. My brother noticed I had on an extra coat.

" Isn't that Edge's jacket?"

" Yeah."

" What are you doing with it?"

" Umm…." I stuttered. I had to come up with an excuse quickly. I hated lying to brother but I had to. I believe that once he saw that the love between us was real he would understand the lies I would have to give him from time to time. " I won it in a game."

All my brother to me said was "Oh." And dropped the subject. Sometimes I was really glad he thought of me as his perfect little sister.

This is why it was so hard to understand why Edge was speaking to me as he was now.

" What are you babbling about. I didn't do nothing to you. " Edge said as I continued my attack of words on him.

" Like hell you didn't you stupid shit for brains!" I screamed.

Zaki had turned around and was walking towards me. Her back was straight and she was doing that intimidating stroll she does right before a fight.

" Have you lost your fucking mind Akira? You come down here with the vampire and the freak, talking about shit that happened long time ago and now you cursing me out like I owe you something. What the fuck bug crawled up your ass? I don't owe you shit! And if ya hit me again, I WILL hit you back!"

" You hit her and I'll wipe the floor with you." Zaki said in a stern yet calm voice.

" You ain't gonna do shit! Mind your fucking business!"

While Zaki and Edge argued, Yurika sprinted to me and grabbed my arm. " Are you okay?" she whispered.

" Yeah." I answered dryly.

Pulling my arm free from her grasp, I moved towards Edge who was now about to start fighting with Zaki.

" Zaki stop, Edge we need to talk now, so cut the shit. I don't give a flying fuck what you got to say but you will listen to me NOW. Do you understand." I said as I stood in front of him. Face to face… well more like face to neck, but that is not the important part.

I grabbed him by the collar of his long sweater shirt and dragged him into the shack. Slamming the door behind me, I pushed him down onto the make shift couch.

" What the…" he began. Placing a finger in the air to silence him, I shook my head.

" You will not say one word. Do you understand or I will tell my brother first and let him kill you. Do you understand?"

Edge just looked at me as if I was having nervous break down or something just as serious.

" I came all the way down here to tell you something and frankly you're acting like a total fucking asshole. " I began.

He went to say something but again I put my finger to up against my lips and urged him not to say anything.

" Like I was saying. I came all the way down here to tell you something. I don't care what you were doing before I got here but that is not a to excuse to treat my friends the way you are, even if they ask for it sometimes. You are acting like I'm so common whore on the street who owes you money. First of all you need to check that shit." My body began to shake once again. I was so angry I could have busted wide open.

I paused for a moment to collect myself. The tears had stopped flowing when I grabbed him and dragged him into the shack.

" So what is so important that you came all the way here just to tell me?" he asked annoyed.

"Edge we've got a big problem here and I need you to act your age now."

" What the hell are you trying to say, act my age. Look I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you but I'm not up for this shit Kira."

That was it. I couldn't take it anymore. I exploded.
"Shut the fuck up already. What did I say? I said act you're fucking age and not like some stupid-fucking snot nosed kid, so shut the fuck up. I'm trying to fucking tell you I'm fucking pregnant and you're making this shit fucking difficult as all mighty fuck, so please shut the fuck up!"

'Oh crap.' I thought as the words slipped from my lips.

Edge's eye bulged out of his head at my words but I didn't notice.

" I can't believe that you would talk to me like that. Me of all fucking people. I thought you fucking cared about me. How dare you tell me you don't care, that I am on my own when I'm carrying your fucking child? I come all the way down here and you fucking treat me like shit. NO, hi I missed you, no how are you doing, not even a what's wrong? NO, I get you're on you're own kid. And you have the nerve to ask me what bug crawled up my ass? I should beat the shit out of you for that but I know it wouldn't solve anything. Now I will ask you one thing. You better answer this shit correctly or so help me I will have them hold you while I beat you until you bleed."
This was it. I couldn't turn back now.
" What are you going to do about this? I am pregnant with your child and I want to know what you want me to do?"

Yes I know I am evil and mean and all of the above.
