Kevin looked calmly from Akari to Chase. Hands interwined, they looked everywhere but at each other; almost as if they got caught doing something they weren't suppose to.
"So...let me get this straight...You proposed to my sister...10 minutes after I left?" A hint of annoyance was plain. Chase nodded his head in confirmation. "And you," adressing Akari, "Said 'yes'. Well congratuations." Akari stuck her tounge out at him, "Why don't you hurry up and get with Maya. I hear she's dying for some action now that Chase is off the market." Colleen then walked out from behind the counter, "Don't mind me! I'm just looking for this darn recipe!"
Chase squeezed her hand gently, "Don't start. You know how I feel about her and you." Then turning to Kevin, "Um ew dude. She looks like she's like 15."
Kevin snorted, "My sister's 18 and you're like what 21? You have no room to talk." Akari piped in,"I'll be 19 soon!" Then Chase, "And I'm 20..."
Luna and Kathy came busting through the Inn doors, "Any when we're you going to tell me about this?" They said simutamously, then grabbing Akari's arms and dragging her away from her fiance. "No give her back to...me." Chase was alone with Kevin for the 2nd time in less than 24 hours. "She...got away from me."
"Nah don't worry about it. I'm sure you can have her all to yourself on you're wedding day. If you know what I mean..." Chase blushed and muttered something soundinh like an "yeah sure..."
Kevin sat up, "You guys...didn't...yet...did you?" Chase's blush deepened to a crimson. He began to shift from foot to foot from embarassment.
Kevin studied him for a moment before saying, "You did. You were a virgin and it's written all over you're face." It wasn't a question the way he said, it was more like a fact. Like something Kevin is use to seeing.
"Shut up. I'm not looking for your approval of me banging your sister." Chase turned his body so he wasn't facing Kevin, but still stayed where he was. "I can't believe I told you that, and I can't believe I said 'banging your sister'."
"So...how was it?" Kevin asked.
"W-what? Ew man that's sick. Did you just ask me how much I enjoyed it?"
Kevin shrugged his shoulders, "Hey might as well know how much I'm going to charge you for."
"Well I'm not going to tel-Wait what? You're going to charge me? For what?" The memory of Kevin's past wasn't clear to Chase yet.
"For my sister of course. I'm running low on money and I've actually been waiting for some poor bastard to screw her. Thank Goddess it was you and not someone like Owen or Jin. They're pretty picky when it comes to that kind of stuff. And they're not very good at cleaning up their messes. You should've seen Jin's face after I set him up with Anissa. Who'd a guessed a doctor or a blacksmith's assisant like ass so-" Chase punched him square in the face.
"SHIT! What the hell is wrong with you? *groans* I think you broke my nose!" Kevin touched his nose and saw that blood was gushing from it.
"Shut the hell up! I knew I couldn't trust you, that you hadn't really changed! I should've have let Akari talk me into believing your sorry ass! You're just a sick sick person who has no respect for his sister or women. Men like you on this planet have no reason to be here!"
Chase then slammed his foot into the side of Kevin's abdoman. Neither man rememebered Colleen who was behind the counter. She crept quietly to the back room where her husband slept. Kevin made no move to stop Chase from hurting him, only let faith take his course. "Chase? What the hell are you doing?" Chase whirled around to see Akari standing at the door, with Luna and Kathy looking scared behind her.
Akari rushed over to where they stood. "Stop Chase, STOP! You could kill him! Kevin are you ok?" Akari bent down to assess the damage. "What happened?"
"I-I don't know what happened...First I was having a nice conversation with Chase...th-then he punched me. Screaming that he was going to kill me for what I did to you. But I've changed! Honest!" Kevin started crying, and not in the way any man should cry after getting beat up.
Akari stood up and walked over to Chase, "Akair listen to me! He hasn't changed, he told me he was going to charge me for-" Akari slapped him across the face, leaving a bright red mark on his cheek. Chase put a hand up to his face, which was now starting to swell. "Y-you don't believe me? You believe the bastard that has made your life a living Hell, over me? Someone who loves you for you, not as some product? God damnit he deserves to die, but you're still stuck on the fact that 'he'll change! Akari, not everyone in the world is trying to change for the better!"
Akari clenched her fists making her knuckles go white. "Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Why can't you accept the fact that he has changed? Why can't he move on like I'm trying to? Honestly Chase, I thought you were trying to help me. But my mistake, you just want me to live in the past." She silently picked up her brother and helped him to the door. She didn't look back once until she was almost out the door. She also didn't see the look Kevin gave Chase, the 'I-won' Look. But Luna and Kathy saw, but said nothing. She turned around finally and looked Chase in the eyes, her own eye's filled with tears.
"The wedding's off."
