Jake washed the dishes since I cook breakfast, we took the dogs on a walk then took them back home and jumped in my truck and we were on our way to Port Angeles. The time now you ask? Well it's now a little after two; we get there and he tells me to park near a strip mall when he said that I stomped on the breaks and looked at him like he was crazy; then he told me what it was so I said sorry a lot, we got out and he showed me around, we linked our arms together and I was looking at a little coffee house that had a help wanted sigh in the window. I ran into the place and asked for the person that works there, Jacob came in looking like he missed something.
"How can I help you my many-colored hair friend?"
"I would like to work here sir."
"Really now?"
I nod my head and smile at him hopping that I can get one, after all I'm going to be needing one since my brother won't be here for a while.
"We kind of have policy about the way people are supposed to look . . ."
"Well I can sing if you want, people wouldn't be that surprised if they see a chick with this many piercings and colored hair up there on stage . . ."
I argue back as Jacob is trying to calm me down; he knows that I hate it when people talk about the way that I look like that.
"Ok then Missy; show us what you got then."
I get a smug look, but then it falls seeing him up there on the stage.
"Good afternoon folks, we have a special treat for you today, for the first time in months this stage is going to be used, give a warm welcome to this little missy right there."
"Damn me and my big mouth!"
Jacob laughs and nudges me forward and sits at the closest table; the manger asks me what song to play and I told him that I wanted to start off soft and I got on the stage and took the microphone in hand.
"Um, hi everyone, my name is Kangen Moon and I'll be singing a few song . . . or one if you don't like my style, which I think you will. Well I'm going to start off nice and slow for you guys."
I look in his direction and he begins to play the song. "I'm yours"
I sing the whole song while looking at Jacob, hoping that he got the message that I wanted him too. People clapped and asked for an encore . . .
"Ok I will . . . but I'll do one, but a request from the first person who raises their hand first."
A girl stands up on the chair that she was just sitting on I smile and point to her.
"Can you sing Broken like An Angel, by Crossfade?"
"Sure thing, can you please put on what the people would like Mr.?"
He does and I walk around on the stage while the intro start. The song ends and I noticed that there's more people in the store then there was when we first came in and I started to blush.
"Thank you everyone, it was great singing here today, but sadly I have to go . . ."
"Jump!"
Jacob yelled at me when he was standing, a few feet away from the stage.
"What?"
"Jump and I'll catch you, I promise."
At first I was going to say 'Are you crazy?!', but then he smiled and I can never say no to that.
"Do a little spin for me, make it look pretty."
I nodded my head and ran to the back of the stage and took a running start; when I was close enough to the edge I spun and jump at the same time, letting my hair and skirt twirl, making me look like a top even more. It felt like I was moving in slow motion, it took forever for me to land in his arms; I landed in his arms and after I was settled there I noticed that my skirt was exposing me. So I clapped my hand under it and onto my skin, he laughs at me and moves my hand and does that, and then he turned to the man that I know think will give me a job here.
"Well I must say, I haven't had this many people in here for a long time, I guess I have no choice, but to give you a job. Fill out this app and come back and I'll take a look at it and figure out your working hours and days."
"Thank you sir."
"Mike, and sorry for being a dick Kagen."
"It's Kangen, and you are forgiven. Come one Jake-kun we have to go to the airport."
He puts me down and I get on his back and he walks out of the coffee house with a huge smile.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Nothing really, just thought of something really funny. Come on we're going to be even later if we don't hurry up."
I nod my head and we head to the car I get in, and I hear someone call his name. I watch him run towards the voice and I just sit there and wait. After when he stops a few feet away from the voices I could see a girl that looks kind of mousey and a tall, white as snow boy who's a head shorter than Jake. I turned on my music and waited for him, two songs later I put the car in gear and drive up beside him, I stick my head out of the window and honk the horn just so that way he can jump and which he did.
"Do you not remember that I have to go to the airport, more than likely their going to kill me now since its been almost 12 hours since they got here. Come on Jake-kun you can talk to them later. Sorry guys don't mean to be rude, but we're kind of in a hurry."
"No, no it's fine."
Said the boy
"It was nice seeing you again Jacob."
Says the girl to Jake, he nods his head and hop in the passenger side the wind blows heavily and I saw the boy stiffen up a little and had this crazy look in his eyes, I just give him this look then drive away. Jacob giving me directions to the airport and we got there in about 20 minuets, so its about 3 something right now and we in the airport with me on his back looking for my new roommates/old friends. I spotted one of them and their sliver hair. I hop off of Jakes back and run towards it and they run towards me.
"Kan-kan!"
"Chi-Chi!"
We yell in unison and run into each other arms then pull apart and start talking to each other really fast, talking about each others new style; I do a little twirl and so does Chi, then someone comes up behind me and twirls me around and I knew who it was right away.
"Luke! You big teddy bear put me down!"
He does after he stops and turns me around and holds me up like a little doll and beams at me, then pulls me into a tight bear hug nearly crushing me, then he puts me down and I am talked by Jesse, he puts me in a head lock ad ruffles my hair and I pull out of it and do the same for him.
"Dude man, don't mess with the due!"
"Well looks like I'm not the shortest one in the group anymore shrimp!"
"It's not fair! Hey don't make fun of me, and I'm not short, I'm vertically challenged!"
They all laugh at me and I see my favorite blonde coming from around the corner finishing up a burger, I smile and run to him and he meets me half way and I jump into his arms and he spins me around too.
"Cloud-kun! It's been so long!"
I smiled up at my favorite spiky haired friend and I pull him to where the rest of my friends, his brothers and, I get on Luke's shoulders and we walk to where Jacob has been waiting; I introduce them to each other. I got down when I felt a little tension in the air around both Cloud-kun and Jake-kun; I stop in between the two and push them apart.
"The hell is this?! The two of you just met and already you guys are going for each other's throats!"
They look down to me and Jake was the first to say sorry and then Cloud I shake my head.
"Just be happy that I showed up at all Cloud! I could've let you guys take a cab all to the way to my house! You guys will get along, or at least pretend to when I am around. Now go and get your shit and let's go!"
"It's been ten minuets, and I'm surprise that it wasn't Jesse that pissed her off, but Cloud. That's a first, don't you think so Chi?"
"Indeed, I wonder what he did."
"Hurry up you guys! Get your stuff and get in the truck!"
The ride there was very quiet anything that Cloud or Jake would try to say something; I would just turn my music up. We finally got to my place and I showed them their rooms which were all downstairs, only Chi's room was upstairs and her room was right next to mines Jake brought the dogs inside and made them their lunch, and he helped me make everyone's dinner for tonight. The two of us started cooking around 5 and as the food was cooking I was filling out my app for the job at the Coffee house I finished it and placed it on my desk to take it to Mike later on tomorrow. I come back down and Jake's setting the table.
"Jake-kun? *he looks up* what was up with you at the airport? I mean the two of you just met and already the two of you looked like you were about to beat each other up."
I say to him as I sit on the countertop swinging my feet, not looking at him. He walks up to me and stops right in front of me.
"It's nothing really, just our egos going to work is all. It's nothing really, *he lifts up my chin* don't worry about it, it will pass. I promise you, I won't fight him unless he throws the first punch!"
I smile and he kissed my forehead, and helps me down and I finish up on the rest of the food and call everyone in . . . so much tension at a dinner table I thought that I was going to choke on it; that was till I kicked them both and gave them this look; looks like this friendship is going to need a lot of work.
"Cloud due to your behavior you will be doing the dishes."
I get up from the table and gather my dogs and went to take them for a walk. I made Luke, Jesse, and Jake stay behind; Chi-Chi went with me.
"You know the only reason why Cloud is like that to Jacob is because they can tell what we are, and Cloud can tell what he is."
I stop dead in my tracks.
"How do he know that? No one said anything."
"It's all by scent love."
"Well is he one too?"
"Of course, that's why Cloud is all hostile towards him, are there more like him here?"
"Yeah, a lot more . . . is that bad?"
"Nope it just means that we have to talk to their leader, and soon; just in case things get out of hand."
"I see . . . can this wait for at least a few weeks . . . summer break is almost over."
"The sooner the better love, sorry; you know how Cloud is when it comes to you . . ."
"Well he needs to stop, I'm not some fragile doll, I know what I'm getting into . . . well kind of, and I never asked him to keep a look out for me!"
"Well that's kind of our job, Kangen, I know that you don't like this, but it's the only way . . . that's why Ryan sent us here and not your Lola. She can't do it any more and you know that, the only thing that she can do is just give you information and that's all."
"I know, but I just hate it, I don't like this *we walk back home* I don't like people keeping tabs on me, I just want him to cool it; and to try to get along with Jake."
"Sounds to me like someone has a thing for that Jake person, do you Kan-chan?"
"Just shut-up before they hear you."
I say quietly to her as I playfully push her.
