Chapter12. Here Comes the Sun.
"Faye! Why the hell did you do that?" The Chestnut haired beauty yelled, slapping the snow haired girl in the chest. Faye winced, glaring at her girlfriend.
Am I the only one thinking she looks like that girl from that anime Burst Angel? Or just Albino? Just me? Okay.
"I dislike rodents." She grumbled.
The white haired girl honestly scared me. Her aura radiated coolness. Her laid back attitude could be mistaken for carelessness or recklessness. She looks like she'd kill me then go home and watch TV or something.
I stared up at the girl with white hair, fear plain in my emerald eyes. A shiver tore through my body as I took in unmoving body of a rat next to my hand. A bullet pierced clean through its head, the bullet that was probably meant for me. "Did you really have to use the gun though, Faye? You could have hit her!" The girl who looked so much like Shizuru nagged.
"But I didn't." She pointed out.
I didn't pay attention to their little banter; instead I kept my eyes locked on the firearm in her small hands. It was a Desert Eagle 50. Cal Pistol. The name was written in beautiful cursive down the barrel of the beautiful gun. "Whatever let's just go before something else happens." She says grabbing the girl's arm and trying to lead her away. Faye sighs, glaring at me with silent murderous fury in her sky like eyes. "Touch her again, and you'll end up like that rat."
I didn't realize I was sweating until a drop rolled down my cheek. As they began walking away I reached out, as if it would stop them. I knew I had to talk to that woman, and some girl with a gun was not going to stop me. "Please just hear me out. It's urgent!" I say scrambling to get up. I hesitantly try and grab her shoulder, not learning my lesson the first time.
Suddenly rough hands grip my collar, thrusting me into a nearby wall. The impact sent various items thundering onto the cold ground. Thankfully the Asian lady working the counter fled as soon as this psycho pulled out the gun. She's probably just in the back because I don't think she'd leave her precious store.
"You gotta death wish or something kid?" Kid, what the hell? She looks like two maybe three years older than me. I shake my head, my blue locks falling everywhere. "I just really need to talk to her." I say lowly.
"Leave us alone kid. She's been through enough. Go home to mommy and daddy so they can tuck you in. It's way past your bedtime." She says, letting me fall to the ground.
I wince at the daddy part.
"Wait! Do you know Shizuru Fujino?" I yell at their retreating backs.
Gotcha.
The hazel eyed girl whirled around, eyes wide and mouth ajar. The white haired girl looks at me, curiosity in her icy depths. "Who doesn't know Shizuru Fujino? She's a millionaire's kid Shizuma." Faye seethed.
I deadpanned, duh. I need to give more details to tell her I'm not just some fan.
"She's got a kid." The media didn't know that thanks to Takashi.
Shizuma, I think that's her name was suddenly kneeling before me, gripping the front of my shirt. God damn can they stop grabbing my shirt for crying out loud! "Yes! Yes how do you know?" She screeches loudly in my ear.
I gulp maybe she's told her about me. Maybe she's told her EVERYTHING about me. I glanced at the gun in her girlfriend hand. "Cause she's mine too. I-im Natsuki Kuga." I whisper.
"A girl? I have a niece? I have a niece!" She claps excitedly. Thank god she didn't punch me or something.
Wait a fucking second.
She said niece. Which means Riku is her niece. Which means Shizuru is her sister? Wait why am I acting so surprised, even I knew she had a sister. I'm not that dense. I've seen her pictures in Shizuru's room. I knew I recognized her from somewhere.
"Ohhh, so that means You're the one who's constantly making her feel like shit?" Faye muses, rubbing her gun like it's some harmless pet. I gulp, damn. She's really starting to make me regret coming here by myself.
"Well we're kind of past that-" I try to explain.
"Do you like shitting on orphanages too?"
Oh my god again with that! I've learned my lesson okay!
"Faye, leave her alone. She's just a kid." Shizuma scolds. "Look do you think you could take us to her house? We all need to talk urgently." She asks politely. She pulls me to my feet. I notice that much like Shizuru she's slightly shorter than me. She looks so much like her it's crazy. I didn't really look like Alyssa at all. She looks like my dad.
"Well she's at my place. I came here to get her some stuff because she's sick." I tell the girl as I look for the bag. The white haired girl hands it to me surprisingly. I take it from her and turn back to her girlfriend who looked at me confused.
"Why is she at your house? Did something happen?" She asks fearfully.
I just look at her. I don't say a word. She seems to understand because she places a hand over her mouth in shock. "Is she okay?"
I nod. "She just needs medicine and rest."
"Look I hate to, actually no I don't, but can we get a move on? That bitch really called the cops." Faye said as the sirens became more coherent. "Yeah let's go."
I lead them out of the store. Kiyohime perks up at seeing me and even more when she sees who I'm with. She begins barking and wagging her tail happily at seeing Shizuma. I watch as she darts over to her mistress's sister and attacks her with nips and kisses. Shizuma squeals in delight as she returns the love just as much. I glance at Faye who just shrugs.
"You two know each other?" I ask.
Shizuma nods with a wide smile. "I got her for Shizuru a little while ago. She's gotten so big. She used to be able to fit in my hand."
Faye cleared her throat. "I don't have enough bullets for a squadron of cops."
We both look at her oddly.
"I mean, let's get out of here before we get in trouble.
When we got back to my house the sun was beginning to rise. I was deadly tired. Sneaking into lunatic mansion with some very poor parkour skills, teased to death by my so called friends, and then almost getting shot. I think I need a good night's sleep. I opened the door with my keys and walked in my house, my guests following me. Kiyohime finally detached herself from Shizuma and made her way back to her mistress.
"Where are your parents?" Shizuma whispers.
"My mom's at work and my dad isn't around anymore." I whisper back, turning on the light.
She nods. Shizuru and Alyssa aren't in the living room so I'm assuming they've retreated to my room, hence why Kiyohime bolted up the stairs. I motion for them to follow me. The stairs creek as we walk slowly up them. I groan, trying to remember why we had so many stairs in the first place. When we finally get to the second floor I cheer internally. I spot Kiyohime sitting at the front of my door patiently. Alyssa's door is open and I can hear the faint sound of the shower. I open my door and Kiyohime darts inside, jumping on my bed. I was ready to yell at her but I was too tired.
I knew Shizuru was in here and I honestly didn't mind. She was lying in the middle of the bed in one of my old band tees. I guess Alyssa helped her take a shower.
I looked over into the corner of my room and raised an eyebrow. A seemingly brand new baby blue crib housed the little baby girl who was sleeping soundly. I walked over and snatched the note that was hanging on the side.
"You're welcome bitch, sincerely N and Y." I read aloud with a thankful smile.
When they said they had business to attend to I didn't think that involved jacking a crib, but again I was thankful. I turned to see Shizuma's eye light up with tears at the sight of the baby. I take it upon myself and I pick the sleeping child up, nestling her to my chest before turning to her. "Meet your aunty Ku." I whisper to my child who fidgeted in her sleep.
Shizuma holds out her arms eagerly. I place the baby in her arms before backing up and watching what she does.
She cuddles the baby to her chest, much like I did. She stares down at Riku with tears in her hazel eyes. She runs a shaky hand through her nieces golden tresses atop her head, down her rosy cheeks, and her plump red lips. I watch as she turns to her girlfriend with the child in her arms. Faye looks at the child with an unreadable expression. "She's beautiful." Shizuma says softly.
"Yeah she is." Came the soft whisper.
We all turn to the bed when a raspy voice sounded from the bed, full of disbelief of something else I couldn't detect.
"Shizuma..?"
Don't be mad because I'm going to try and update every night from now on!
