I'm back with another chapter of the story! Here's how Lynn and Lincoln are dealing with life!
Chapter 13: Two Louds Facing Life
Friday morning arrive. A large mansion in a co-ed academy is seen in the center. In a room was the soft snore of a teenager, the only boy in the family. Next to where the bed is stood a small box with a pillow and blanket covering a small puppy with white fur.
As soon as the sun's rays hit its face, the puppy groan as his body slides off the small blanket and stretches his entire body. His eyes are squinted, making it closed and a brown nose as well as brown patches in his ears and an outline around the mouth. A mohawk is resemble on the top of his head.
He jump on the bed and walk to the teenager. The boy giggle softly as the dog lick his cheek.
"Akamaru." He pleaded helplessly by the dog's tongue. The boy then rose up, revealing Lincoln Loud. He yawn a little and Akamaru bark happily at him before his master pat his back. "Morning, pal."
Then a loud knock starle the boy. "OTOTO, YOU BETTER BE AWAKE OR YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"
"I already am, Anko!" Lincoln yell back.
"THEN TAKE A SHOWER!"
Akamaru jump off the bed and Lincoln as well. He stretches his whole fourteen year old body. After getting clothes from the cabinet, he, along with his dog, went inside the bathroom.
They both step in the shower. Akamaru went into a small bowl and Lincoln sat on a chair. As the running warm water went on, the boy grabs a long brush and scrub his back. Akamaru is being soak by the water. His master rub soap all over the puppy while whistling.
After fifteen minutes, the two step out of the shower and dry off with towels; Akamaru roll around the towel being place on the ground. Lincoln stop to see himself in the mirror.
His appearances change in the last three years. His height grown a few inches, surpassing those who were a slight taller than him. He had gain some muscle due to exercising and a small four pack in his abdomen. He pick up the roll of bandage and wiped it around his right hand.
He gets out, wearing a traditional school uniform fit for him. A tan gray uniform with navy blue pants and black shoes. His right hand place inside his pocket.
"Let's go eat, Akamaru." Lincoln said. His dog bark as he follows his master.
"Lynn, wake up!"
The tomboy rose up from her bed with mutters in her breath. She fail to notice her roommate wasn't there or stepping out of out Lincoln's room. Lucy took one glance at her before she went down the stairs.
Lynn enter the bathroom and took a quick shower, though it was only a few minutes of warm shower right as she got a full dose of cold water. After drying herself off, she brush her teeth after his mother came to inform her that she'll meet with the principal to talk about entering 11th grade.
She spit out the dirt in her mouth and sighed, "Well, better get use of what's coming to me."
The tomboy came down to have some breakfast, unfazed by the glares and silent treatment. Regardless, she grab herself a plate of toast and egg.
Rita said, eating her cereal "Lori, I need to drive me to the high school to talk with Lynn's principal."
"Can't you ask one of your coworkers of driving you there?" Lori snarked.
"Can it with the smartmouth, young lady."
"Fine."
Lynn look around to see the sisters all lowering their heads down and not meet her stare. She furrowed her brows slightly and resume eating, not seeing the youngest of the family eyeing her.
Meanwhile, in Senju Manor, the commotion of the family all riot up to their demands of breakfast, going to class, or their activities after school. Everyone in the kitchen had grown three years, including the sisters.
Lincoln came to the door and greeted "Morning, ever-" He was knocked out by two blurs and the cries "Lincoln-oniichan!"
Hugging on his sides were Moegi and Hana. Akamaru yelp happily at the two. This got the family laughing.
Tsunade chuckle "Girls, please let go of your brother."
"No, he's sitting with me!" Moegi declare, hugging his right neck.
"You have him yesterday, Moegi! Oniichan is sitting with me!" Hana complain at her sister. The two glare at each other and hugging the poor boy to death.
"Nihas, let go of Lincoln," Alyssa DiMartino rose up and so did Shizune. Kurenai help Lincoln up to his feets. The Hispanic women smile bright at him, "Come sit with me, Lincoln."
Lincoln blush sightly, and stutter "S-Sure." He walk past the pointing little girls. Their older sister just snatch Lincoln. Again! It's not fair!
Karin rolls her eyes over their little schoolgirl crushes while Tenten giggle "I think it's sweet they want Lincoln-san by themselves."
"It's like this every morning," Yugao smile "Those two are always want to attach themselves to their big brother."
Tsume snorted in a mixture of amusement and annoyance "I swear I don't know how that girl is so fast after I restrain her."
Anko remarked suggestively "Talking about being fast, eh, Tsume?" She got a slap in the back of her head by Kurenai.
Lincoln sat down and ate his stacks of pancakes. Akamaru jump on his lap and bark, saying he wants his pancakes.
"No, no, no, no." Tsunade sternly said, shaking her head. "Lincoln, your dog can't sit at the table."
"It's useless to say that, kaa-chan," Anko said, nearly laughing at Akamaru taking a small bite of Lincoln's pancake.
"H-He won't mind, won't you, boy?" Lincoln asked, which Akamaru bark in response, much to Moegi and Hana's joy.
"Let me handle this, mother," Tsume said, before blowing two fingers together to form a whistle.
A large wolf with black fur and a white underbelly enter through the dog door. He had an eyepatch where his right eye use to be and a missing left ear. The wolf walk to Lincoln and grab Akamaru by the fur with his teeth. The small puppy whine softy.
"Kuromaru, take the pup to your station. Make sure there's a bowl for him," Tsume ordered. The wolf nod his head and walk back outside.
Jiraiya shivered "I swear that dog gives me the creeps."
"He's my most favorite canine sidekick," Tsume said with pride. "It's his job to protect the girls in this school, including my little Hana, from perverts."
"May I need to remind you of a student being Kuromaru's chew toy?" Anko said, remembering that scene in a laugh.
Yamato and Jiraiya both cover their groans of what the wolf had damage the boy. The entire female gender laugh loudly while Lincoln shiver at the thought.
Yugao added "At least Lincoln's not a complete pervert."
"Of course not," Alyssa said, wrapping her arms around the boy and pressing his right side over her busty chest. "Lincoln is pure and innocent."
Shizune cover the little girl's eyes in embarrassment over the risque move her sister made and Jiraiya almost release a leech laugh after catching his wife's glare.
Anko chuckled "And he's got the entire female population in the academy wanting to be with him."
Alyssa then give her a sweet smile that scare the violet haired tomboy. Lincoln felt his red more red as she press him deep in her chest.
"I like to see any mujeres sink their dirty hands over this cutie pie," She stated. Jiraiya was scare out of his mind and sink down to avoid anything his daughter might do. Alyssa then stop her killer intent and spoke in her regular tone "Finish up your food, Lincoln." She planted a small kiss on his right cheek.
"S-Sure," Lincoln continue eating his pancake, despite his face still being red from the encounterment.
Tenten laugh while Karin rolls her eyes in amusement Kurenai giggle as well as Yugao. Tsume and Tsunade look at each other in amusement. Shizune felt herself blush over what just happened. Yamato clear his throat over the awkwardness and resume eating. Jiraiya leans up, seeing the fight is over.
"You all should be ready for school."
Vanzilla arrive at Royal Woods High School after dropping the younger sisters at elementary school. Lori, Leni, Luna and Luan all say their byes to mom and walk inside. Rita and Lynn, Jr. went as well.
The former athletic worn a red shirt with blue jeans; their parents reminded her that she can't wear anything sport related now that she's back home.
They both enter the principal's office and discuss regarding letting Rita's daughter in the 11th grade. Lynn show him her transfer from the detention center she's been, and the grades she had passed. The principle felt unease letting someone in dut to being in Juvie Hall for at least three years but after some convincing from Rita, he lets her in, on the conditions that Lynn will be on her best behavior.
In Lynn's hand was her new class schedule in the 11th grade. Rita turn to her with a calculated look, "Behave today, okay?"
Lynn said "I will, mom." Rita smile and place a soft kiss on her forehead.
"I'll pick you up." Lynn saw her walking out of the building, leaving the tomboy alone to face public school for the first time.
Her first class was English with a women named Ms. Cleverts.
A few knocks on the door interrupted the teacher of her lecture. Lynn saw the teacher was in her mid-thirties, blonde hair that is tie to a bun, glasses to shield her emerald eyes, a button up yellow blouse and skirt that cover her entire legs.
Seeing her schedule, she spoke in a high snooy tone "You must be the new student. Come in." Lynn walk in and saw the students, all eyes were on her.
"Attention, class. We have a new student today. Tell us your name."
Lynn look nervous of asking who she was on her first day back. She sense that giving out her name can lead to them knowing who she really is.
"Miss, your name!" The teacher barked. Lynn snap out of her daze. Several of the students snicker.
"Lynn Loud. My name is Lynn Loud, Jr."
"I'm Ms. Cleverts, Miss Loud. Take a seat over there," The teacher pointed at the empty spot. Lynn went over there and took out her notebook. "As I was saying, we will look over the language of Latin as being the word of God…"
Lynn is started to get bored by the lesson, and despite wanting to sleep, she couldn't risk getting into trouble with her mom. She didn't see the familiar look of one of her former friends.
Lincoln is currently walking down the trail to his first class, Math. He had his older sister Kurenai with him. Alyssa went to substitute a class. Moegi and Hana were both taken care in a daycare not far from here. The rest of the sisters went to class as well. The boy felt the loving gaze and sudden slight lust from the other girls as they past by. Most of the girls were a couple of years older than him, being exactly like his surrogate sisters.
"Hello, Lincoln-kun!"
"Kwaai! Look at his hair~!"
"I want him to be my boyfriend!"
"Let me be your oneesama!"
Lincoln felt his face burn more by the girl's demands and hide behind Kurenai's left arm. The raven haired beauty giggle slightly under her breath. It is cute to see him so shy in front of the opposite gender. She can feel the girls' tense of envy at the beautiful senior student hugging their crush. Kurenai though it's fun to have a little tease but she then hears the outspoken cries of the rest of the male students.
"Grrr, that guy!"
"Look at him; bascating in all the babes!"
"And he's holding on to Kurenai-chan! The ice queen babe!"
Then one hard and stern look from Kurenai's crimson eyes made the males wanted to piss themselves or fall back in shock.
Lincoln leans up and said "Thank you,"
"My pleasure, ototo." She replied warmly. "Come on. We don't want you to be late." They move forward to one of the buildings, leaving behind the cries of females and rushing after their cutie pie and the guys deadpanned in shock.
The sixteen year old light brown haired girl rushes to the hallway, passing by students and nearly knocking over. She sees a couple of students and run to them before stopping.
"Guys!" She catches her breath. "You're not...gonna believe...this!"
"What is it?" Clyde Mcbride spoke
"Lynn's back! Lynn Loud is back!"
Rusty Spokes went wide eyed, so did Liam and Zack. He said "Tell me you're not joking."
"And I don't find it funny if she's back!" Giggles added harsly.
"Honest to God, it's truth! She just came to one of my classes!" Margo continues.
Tabby remarked in her British accent "Blimey! It's been three years already!"
Zack asked "What do we do?"
"What do you mean 'we'? Let's just forget about her!" Penelope spoke, hugging Clyde's arm.
Haiku spoke monotonously "I agree. Her presence being here can foreseen of what will happen if people knows her of her past crime."
"You're saying we should tell people about what Lynn did?" Liam said, earning a slap from Tabby.
"No, lame brain! She meant if people knows!"
Margo asked "What is your options, Polly?"
Polly only cross her arms and glare down at the floor when the mention of her ex-friend came in conversation. "I don't want to talk about her," She said sternly.
"Her heart is still fill with the broken friendship of Lynn Loud," Haiku added.
"Thank you, spooky."
"So we do nothing to not let people know about what she did?" Penelope said, discourage of wanting to have some vengeance against the girl.
"No, Penelope," Clyde answered. "All we can do is distance ourselves from Lynn. Let's hope no one will bring up her being in Juvie Hall, especially Chandler."
The group of friends all nodded their heads.
After three of her next class had ended, Lynn sat alone in a table. She sees her two of her older sisters chatting with their friends. It make her feel a bit envy that they still keep in touch after dragging the entire family with her luck nonsense. Eating her saltless french fries wasn't helping her lack of reuniting her old friends, or at least making one.
"This bite," She mutter to herself.
"Hiya, Loud," Lynn nearly tease at the familiar voice of a male teenager. The fourteen year old red hair that used to pick on her little brother.
Lynn glared "Chandler."
"Word on the hallway is that you're back," Chandler smirk. Lynn clutches her hands, almost forming a fist.
"Got a problem with me being here?" She asked.
He replied "Considering the fact what you did, that is."
"Wanna have your mouth wired shut?" She leans up from the desk.
Chandler only laugh mockingly "I'm shaking my limbs here."
"That's enough, Chandler." The red hair bully turn around and saw Clyde, Penelope and Tabby. An audiences form around them.
"Sticking up the bitch that sent your friend to an asylum, McBride?" Chandler asked.
"Take a hike, ya blot!" Tabby insulted.
Chandler see the glares being form around the three friends. He saw a guard coming to see what is happening. He growled, breathing fire through his nose "I'll leave, but you all shouldn't be friends with her." She pointed at Lynn, who was surprise they're standing up for the tomboy.
"Chandler." Clyde warned.
"I'm going. The psycho bitch is all yours," Chandler walk away. Lynn turn to them with a tiny smile but faded as the fourteen year old rockstar wannabe said.
"Don't think we cover your ass makes us friends." The three left Lynn alone as the tomboy felt lonely again.
"That was a little harsh, don't you think, Tabby?" Penelope asked.
"Nope."
Lynn look around and saw the audiences were muttered and still looking at her direction. Upon seeing what they heard between her and Chandler, things were spiraling downward on her first day.
After his first few classes and running away from the girls, Lincoln knock on the door and enter in. He sees Kurenai, Anko, Yugao and Shizune in a grand room.
"Hi girls," Lincoln nervously wave with a stutter.
"Hi Lincoln-san/kun." The sisters greeted with affection, making the boy slightly blush.
"Mind if I join you guys for lunch?"
Shizune teases "The girls again, Lincoln-kun?"
"Y-Yes."
"And the boys?" Yugao said, ready to punch anyone who messes with her little brother.
"There were a few," Lincoln trail off with his eyes up, "But luckily the girls are taking care of them. That's how I escaped."
"Oh, boy." Shizune groaned, knowing that there will be unpleasant visits in the nurse's office. Kurenai giggle and pat on the leather pillow in the couch she's sitting.
"Sit right here, Lincoln-san." She said.
Lincoln was about to walk to there, and suddenly, he felt the comfy warm breast behind his back.
"Oh, come on, Otouto-kun! Sit next to your Anko-onnechan!" The violet tomboy proclaimed. Lincoln's face turn scarlet by feeling her chest.
"Anko, please let go of him," Kurenai ordered, her left eyebrows twitches.
"You had him all morning, Kurenai; let Lincoln seat next to his big sister!" Anko pushes his face deep in his chest. Lincoln felt his face going numb by the softness of them. "I can even feed him!"
Kurenai's twitching didn't stop. Shizune blushes at Anko's suggestion and felt envy over her wanting to sit with Lincoln. Yugao stand up from her seat and walk to Anko with a blank expression.
Anko then felt the tip of the blade at her left cheek. Her eyes shift to see the purple haired with a long bladed katana at her.
"Anko, Kurenai ask first. Let Lincoln-kun go before you suffocate him in your breast," Yugao demanded.
"Fine," Anko let him go, and the boy rushes next her other big sister. His face is still red and body starts to shiver; the memory burn in his mind.
"You scare him," Kurenai glared at her sister, pushing the body to her own for conform.
"No fair!" Anko pouted like a child. "You get to have him everyday, nee-chan!"
"Maybe Lincoln-kun likes Kurenai-neechan," Shizune chuckled.
"No, he likes Alyssa-neechan. Lincoln-san has a thing for black hair beauties," Yugao chortled. All three of them laugh.
"Girls, hush." Kurenai said, rubbing Lincoln's cowlick. "You're making him more tense." She took out the bento box from his backpack and open it, revealing five orange chicken, ramen noodles and tiny beef. With the chopstick in her hand, she grab one orange chicken and held it right at the boy's mouth. "Open up, Lincoln-san."
The red faced Lincoln open his mouth and ate the chicken. Shizune almost squeal at his cuteness, Yugao chuckle as she sheath her sword and Anko stream anime tears, wanting to feed her adorable little brother.
"Thank you, Kurenai-neechan." Lincoln said, addressing to her formal. Kurenai leans down to kiss his cowlick, "My pleasure, honey."
"That should be me!" Anko shouted. A kunai is thrown at her direction, near her cheek again. She scan Yugao, who give her a hush gesture. The tomboy pointed at her, adding "I'm telling mom and dad."
Lincoln chuckle as he begin eating his lunch. His new sisters are so wild sometimes when it comes with him as the center of attention. Being here for three years had change in the Senju family.
Like Alyssa DiMartino said, the family helped Lincoln of getting over his new fear after leaving his old family.
It worked, though Lincoln gain a stutter problem and shyness when face a problem like being in another large family with the ratio of girls is 11 to 3 or living an academy with a proportion of girls are large.
Nevertheless, his new sisters are always there.
Tsume acts like a mother/aunt to him. She would take Lincoln to her work as a pet veterinarian and let him see the pets. Lincoln liked the animals, but none more than the dogs. He would pet them, play with them and sooth them when they're told to drink a medicine. Her daughter Hana loved him. When her mother is working, Lincoln always watch over Hana like a big brother. On his twelfth birthday, he receive Akamaru from Tsume, seeing as he like playing with the puppies.
Kurenai acts like a huge role model to the boy. Seeing how most of his older sisters had failed to protect Lincoln during the luck crisis, Alyssa told her to confirm the boy through life teaching lessons. Lincoln loved her as a good protector. And she loved him too. She always protect him from girls who have crushes on the boy, and teases them a little by hugging him in protect.
Anko is another different story. Lincoln love being with her through her mischief, though he gets along with said mischief. She sometimes clings on to him like how an oneesama love his otouto. Lincoln faints every time she does risque needs, like pressing his face at her busy chest. Despite all this, Lincoln still respect her.
Yugao is like a sensei to the boy. Her favorite activity is Kenjutsu, the art of Japanese swordsmanship. She teaches him how to handle one. Now being having one arm is rather difficult to handle a sword. But after a year and a half, Lincoln finally gets the hang of it, though not as masterful as Yugao.
Shizune is the overprotective sister and his favorite nurse. Lincoln remember the times she overreact for his safety when it comes with diseases and being injured during lessons with Yugao or Tsunade. Though he always told her not to overreact, which gets him a few sweet kisses from the future medical nurse. She teaches him her work being the school nurse when she's not in class. In private sessions, Shizune quizzes him of naming an instruments or what to do when dealing with surgery. Lincoln learn a great knowledge of medical work. She also help him overcome his handicapped by learning to use his left hand.
Tenten, being the second tomboy in the family, is friendly to the boy, as long as you don't anger her. She was excited when Lincoln will be living here and vow to herself to be a great sister. She show him her collection of weapons, which he admires them. She wanted to teach him a few of them, but her mother and Alyssa said that he isn't ready yet till he'll overcome his fear. But that didn't stop her throwing a couple of kunais accurately to impress Lincoln. And punching a few love sick girls and perverted boys that has a bone with Lincoln. He always thank her and gets a small kiss on the cheek in response.
Karin was a tough one. After hearing his problem, she was having trouble how to interact with Lincoln, due to disliking boys who are perverted. Like Shizune, she has a quick knowledge of the human anatomy. One time she constructed a prosthetic arm but it immediately broke. Karin expresses in tears, but Lincoln hug the girl. The tomboy became surprise that he was doing this, despite her objection against boys. He told her that she doesn't have to worry being like the other sisters as long as she's making him feel better. Karin hug him back, thanking her. Since then, she feel safe around Lincoln and punches any perverted boys who try to flirt with her or pick a fight with her little brother. She once commented Lincoln has the warmest feeling in his heart, which resulted her being embarrassed.
Like Hana, Moegi develop a big brother bond with Lincoln. He would spent the day at the daycare where she and Hana are. Over the three years he's been living here, the two child are rivaling each other for his affection, calling Lincoln their oneesama.
Jiraiya and Tsunade both feel in the roles of the boy's new parents. Lincoln had trouble interacting with them, calling the two Mr. and Mrs. Senju. Over the time they interacted with him one at a time. Tsunade help him being the supported mother figure to the white haired boy. She praised him for helping out around the house and getting good grades. He helps her in the kitchen whenever she can. In return, Tsunade teaches him hand-to-hand combat, which scare both Shizune and Alyssa out of fear she could hurt Lincoln. Lincoln thank her mother, which earn him a small kiss on the forehead or burying his head in her large cleavage, upsetting Alyssa and most of his daughters. Jiraiya takes Lincoln out to fishing and building new models and helping him with his homework. His wife and daughters warn him not to take Lincoln to any of his favorite places or face castration. Despite being perverted, Lincoln love him like a dad. Though he did ask him a few advices on how to deal with the girls crushing on him, the man reply to enjoy the popularity. Lincoln had to admit his new dad's perverted personality tents to bother him a little. On his twelfth birthday, he accidentally receive a copy of a brand new Icha Icha story instead of his first book that didn't meet with expectation. Jiraiya was meet with a harsh beating from both his wife and Alyssa.
As for Yamato, Lincoln see him like a big brother and bodyguard. He often teases the boy of the girl's new crushes and scare the perverted boys who come close at Lincoln. The boy spent most of his free time chatting with Yamato, who share his hobby of reading about architecture. They would look at models of houses and build them together and play Shogi.
Finally there was Alyssa DiMartino, the women who made it all happened. She was proud that the family was helping Lincoln recover and giving him the love and care he needed. She was another sister, a mother, an aunt and a protector to the boy. She laughs when he gets embarrassed of being too close to her. She find it sweet and cute. However, Alyssa didn't expect the girls at the school crushing over Lincoln. Like hell she was gonna let those harlots sink their claws at his cutie pie. And she thinks that a few of her sisters have a crush on him, minus Moegi and Hana. Not on her watch.
Yes, Lincoln was finally feeling the loving and caring of his new family ever since his accident. And speaking with accident, he leans down at his right bandage hand, reflecting how he first got it and change his whole life.
But that was a different story.
Right now, he just want to eat his lunch and chattel with his new sisters.
I know you're mad that it was a short timeline for Lynn embracing her first day in junior high after three years, but I think it goes to show her sudden downtrail after a visit with Chandler. And Lincoln's doing quite well; too well. Am I right?
There's an Easter egg in this story, or two if you see it. Can you guess what it is? It's easy; read the chapter again.
Answer will be revealed tomorrow.
In the meantime, feel free to have some ideas for next chapter. For the answer of who should be the antagonists, my vote is on the Uchihas.
Unless you have some suggestions.
In the meantime, NiteOwl18 out!
