Akane holiday hummed to herself as she got ready for her Christmas holiday
Her husband was upstairs changing and getting ready for guests
Her youngest son Bruno was also changing
Her sister was going to be here ay moment
But unfortunately...her oldest son Richard was...bringing guests
His girlfriend and two others.
She stopped moving and breathed out
There was no point in getting angry, maybe if she talked and met with the girl it would be alright, after all her son didn't have THAT bad of taste...did he?
...oOo...
Holiday pulled up by his house
"Wow the plane trip was totally worth it," Regina said eyeing the traditional Japanese home
"You know, we can go home if you'd like" Richard said looking at six who smiled
"I want to see where you grew up, and besides your family doesn't scare me"
'Bull. Crap' a voice in her head screamed 'you're scared shitless about anyone who isn't the mother disliking you, and if they all dislike you then it's just going to end with you in the hotel-alone-and some sake!'
Regina got out of the car and started walking loser to the house
"Come on guys we don't have all day!" she smiled widely, Regina clicked the doorbell of the home (just like to say I'm giving it a western twist so I can identify where everything is a whole lot easier)
Suddenly the door opened and a smaller boy who looked like holiday except with dark brown eyes opened the door
"Um..." he said slowly
"Regina" Regina said pointing at herself "holiday's slowly making his way down the driveway", she smiled and the boy nodded slowly
"my nephew doesn't speak to people he doesn't know" holiday said before greeting the kid in Japanese, the boy looked up at Regina and smiled before looking around, presumably for six
Surely enough six came up to the house carrying Marcello
"She's quite hot" the boy smiled as six came up to the door
"We've ALL been told" Regina said making hand gestures to make her point "can we come in or stand out here in the cold?"
The boy smiled and let them in
The house's interior was much more Japanese than the entrance itself complete with doors that slid 'the wrong way' as Regina put it.
"Richard!" another man's voice came and another man who looked a lot more like holiday but older and again with different coloured eyes came in "I'm glad you decided to-...she's hotter than I thought" the man commented eyeing six
"We've been told!" Regina said quite annoyed
Suddenly six's phone rang but she took it out and declined the call causally.
(yes she has a phone in her other inside pocket!)
"Well...what was I saying...oh! Oh...your mother has decided to get to know your girlfriend"
"Good" holiday said with a sigh of relief "where is she by the way? And Bruno for that matter?"
"Bruno's here?" Regina asked
"Yes, I am" a very happy voice came and Bruno came down the stairs
"Thank god!" Regina exclaimed, "I thought I'd have to try and communicate without language"
"Most of my family members speak English," Bruno laughed
"Oh" Regina said slowly "oh, well" she shrugged before forcing Bruno to show her his room.
Six was led into the living room where a lot of other people were having drinks and chatting, they all seemed to stop for a moment when she came in
"She's hotter than we thought" a woman's voice came
"Why does everyone say that?" six asked raising an eyebrow
"Don't-" holiday started but the six was now in the midst of a female circle
"When he was younger, we all thought he'd never find anyone because he was so nerdy I swear" a woman laughed "you can imagine the shock we got when he came home one day covered in hickies"
Six smirked and looked back at her very embarrassed boyfriend who looked as if he wanted to die then and there
Six's phone rang again and she sighed quite annoyed before taking it out AGAIN and declining the call
"Bethany where's the key to the..." a woman started walking in and there was a long moment of silence as this woman stared at six "you must be six" she said with a fake smile
"I hope so" six, replied "I would be quite disappointed if I wasn't"
This comment earned some snickers that were silenced by glares from Mr Holiday
"I see, and what sort of name is that anyway? Surely you must have been born with a real name"
"I was" six, sighed "but then I became a mercenary and decided six was safer to use"
"How noble sparing your family" Mrs. Holiday said her voice laced with sarcasm
"Actually my family could do quite well even if people came to gun them down for revenge"
'Because they're not very good people' six added mentally
"Well" Mrs. Holiday sighed
During this encounter Holiday was slowly chanting in his head
'Go back to the kitchen, go back to the kitchen, please if you love me you'll go back to the-'
"What is that?" Mrs. Holiday asked pointing at Marcello
'Damn' holiday thought
Six smiled
"Call him a THAT again and I will cut your throat" the comment was aid so happily that it made everyone's blood run cold
'no, no, no, no, no' holiday thought
"Excuse me, where the hell do you think you are?"
"Japan I guess" six replied quite nonchalantly
"You're in my house, didn't your mother teach you not to insult people in their own homes"
"She didn't considering I hardly saw her for a majority of my life"
"aww, I'm sorry" Akane's voice was filled with a bitter intent
'Oh god WHY?' holiday cried mentally falling to his knees
"You know you're kind of a bitch," six said giving a direct attack
"And you are a slut" Akane shot back instantly
"I disagree; actually I'd say I'm quite the opposite considering I can hold a steady relationship, especially with Regina"
'No! She was insulting his and her relationship, time out, red card!' holiday cried
"Too bad you don't know how to cover up" Akane said
"At least I have something I can flaunt"
'You're going to complete the list!' holiday screamed I his head
"Well-"
"Hey mom, have you met ...six..." Bruno slowly eased into the room drawing everyone's attention except for the two women who were caught in battle
"Can your mom cook?" Regina asked walking in after Bruno eating some Japanese teats "I mean, when holiday tried to cook it always backfires somehow...in weird ways, like the thanksgiving turkey exploded in green goo" she said walking in and not bothering to read the mood
There was a burst of laughter as the relative filled the room with a different type of atmosphere that eventually made the two women go their own ways.
Holiday breathed out relieved before giving his father the
"Why the HELL did you just stand there?" look
His father shrugged
"What did you want me to do? Get in between my wife and a mercenary, not thanks" he said
"ex-mercenary" Regina sang
"Who are you anyway?" someone asked her
"I'm...sorta like...the kid they look after"
There was an exchanging of looks then smiles before the word
"Oh" was said simultaneously around the room making Regina frown in confusion.
...oOo...
They were not out of the blue yet
They still had to survive dinner then the socialising after
Holiday somehow ended up sat next to six and across his mother
'Please don't start a conversation with each other!' he begged keeping his face straight
"So, six" Akane said, "What exactly is it you DO at providence"
"Ensure Regina doesn't die in a stupid way" six replied simply
"I see, I'm sorry I just assumed you were another hired gun"
"I don't use guns" six said "I use magna blades"
"How interesting"
'No! Please!' holiday exclaimed in his head
"Wouldn't it be harder to use them instead?" another relative asked
"I find them easier" six stated, "guns are stupid anyway and unless your shooting point blank you never REALLY know if you've killed someone, and even then its harder to tell if you've hit something that's going to keep them dead"
"I disagree" Akane said "I would think that only people who enjoy killing would use close range weapons"
"Please" six scoffed "I've known a lot of killers those who enjoy killing go for the weapon less likely to kill with one shot if used correctly, or something not anyone can just use they love watching people suffer before they die and guns help for fill that"
"The thing with your magna blades is that they seem quite easy to use anyway, I mean their swords things that kids play with"
'God, Buddha...wait. What religion am I? Never mind. Please if you exist stop them!'
"Well then you have a try," six said taking out her disks "careful though, one wrong move can make them slice through your wrists and make you lose your hands...and we wouldn't want that"
The table went sill as Akane stared at the disks unable to figure out what to do
"Uh, holidays mom?" Regina cut in "your holding them wrong, if you hold them like that you'll stab trough your chest"
I told you they were child's toys," Akane said haughtily tossing them back, six then slipped them back up her sleeves
"Children's toys don't purposely kill people, and they most certainly can't channel the amount of electricity these do" six stated earning another scoff
'thank you lord, I think their finally-'
Six's phone rang once more and she took it out before switching it off and placing it back in her inner pocket
Akane mumbled something under her breath and six slammed her hands on the table getting up
"Right I'm out" six said "any longer here and I will waste this bitch and torch this house, thank you Mr. Holiday for inviting me into your home, and I pray you die in a painful way you ugly high strung slag"
And with that she left
"Damn" holiday breathed getting up "Regina get your shoes on we're leaving before she can get back to the hotel and get wasted"
"But-" Regina said pointing down at her untouched plate
"Car. Now" holiday said in a much more demanding tone before grabbing Marcello
Regina picked up her piece of turkey and ran out as fast as she could
"Richard..." Akane started
"no" holiday said in Japanese "I brought her here because I wanted one holiday where I could bring someone to meet my family where my mother doesn't make it end in tears and breakups, I'll be lucky if she doesn't break up with me because god knows she could do so much better! And now I'll have to make this up to her, and do you know how much time that's going to take with your behaviour today?" he asked "also, Regina I said car!" he shouted in English and the front door shut
"Look, I know I've had a bad history with your girlfriends but I...I just don't like her"
"You don't like anyone I bring through that door who you didn't set me up with, and you know what I can't take it anymore"
"Richard, I-I'll try to stop doing whatever's making you upset but-"
"No I mean I can't take any of it anymore, the henpecking, the impossibly high standards and the virtual control over my life even though I live in another freaking country! I just can't" he snapped "I'm not coming back here anymore, see you all at aunt Bethany's for Easter" holiday saluted to his family members before leaving
(Later)
"Mind if I join you?" holiday asked six who was quite smashed by the bar
"Where's Marcello?"
"Sleeping, and so is Regina, Its 2AM"
"And NOW you want to get smashed? I don't know how you do it" six said "I mean, was she always like that?"
"Unfortunately" holiday grumbled ordering a heavily alcoholic drink
"I mean seriously, she was like a snake and a rabid dog decided to pass on their gifts to the closest human before getting it blessed by the devil!" six cringed
Holiday could not contain a laugh
"Now I see where Regina gets it," he said taking a huge swig of his drink before ordering a refill
"I mean, Jesus!" six complained "I was this close to actually killing her, I mean I usually don't just go around killing people but GOD was she annoying! Just HOW did you manage to get girlfriends in the past?"
"I never let the relationships go past Christmas, and that's where they usually ended anyway, they'd complain when I didn't let them see her and it'd always end in tears if I did let them meet her"
"I feel your pain" six said patting his back "my family were never exactly nice, I mean they didn't inform my mother I was alive until weeks before she died"
"that's sad" holiday said ordering another drink and finishing it quickly
"Damn you can drink" six grumbled
"You can guess why" holiday said hiccupping "come on, we're both not smashed nenough if we can still hold a civilised conversation"
(around afew hours ago, somewhere else)
"Jesus riley where Is she?!" Ruben cried as there was a large explosion behind them
"I don't know she's not picking up!" riley shouted back "goddamnit this is truly her fucking fault for once and she's bailed!"
"their only going to want one of us to use as bait" Ruben said shivering as the icy wind hit him "I'll get caught you get the hell out of here and kill her in my place" Ruben held his younger sisters hand "promise me she'll die painfully"
"I-I promise" riley cried before getting up and running while expertly dodging rapid gunfire.
