A/N Lots of Brandon abuse in this. And Alec REALLY doesn't enjoy killing Kishins. And you gotta' love how innocent Alice can be some times, even though she's usualy not very innocent at all. XDDDD And now they're test subjects. And Alec is very amused by pissing off Brandon. ANd Alec and Brandon discuss emotions.
And Medusa's 'plan' will be explained in Alec's side story. It does play a small part later on and in a another fic I'll write that's loosely connected with this. By the way, I'm also dropping hints about something in Alec's personality. Quite a few things, actually. And will continue to do so thouought the time he's actually in the fic. Try to guess what it is~
Oh, and Chrona is a girl in this fic. And there's Alec abuse in this! Poor guy. XD And it becomes clear just how much Alice likes Yaoi. (I'm not too fond of it, but I tolerate it. Same with yuri.)
Brandon was taken aback by her outburst, which only caused his current depression and sadness to deepen. "If that's how you want it, then fine." he said sadly, and walked out of the forest.
"I knew I never should've trusted a human!" she said to herself, walking over to Alec. "They're nothing but traitors!"
"Damn right." The male Kishin agreed. "They can't be trusted. They're the reason us Wendigos were forced into hiding." he grumbled angrily. "You hurt?"
"I'm fine." Alice said, wiping a tear away with her sleeve. She couldn't trust anyone now, and she never wanted to see Brandon again.
. . .
Brandon walked through the forest, tears running silently down his cheeks. He soon exited the woods, and wiped his eyes and face. He then walked to the airport and booked a direct flight to Venice which would leave in two hours. He then traveled back to the room they rented, and backed all of his stuff into his suitcase.
. . .
"I'm gonna' go get my stuff from the Inn." Alice said, now back to normal. "You go back to Medusa, OK?"
Alec was concerned, but agreed anyway. The two left, each walking in the opposite direction.
When Alice got to the Inn, she saw Brandon packing his stuff up. She was going to ask him why he was packing, but decided to ignore the fact he was there and began packing her own stuff.
Brandon saw that she walked in, and finished packing without saying a word. He then grabbed his suitcase and was about to open the door, but turned his head to look at Alice. The expression he wore clearly stated "Last chance".
Alice could tell he was looking at her, even though she didn't exactly see him. "What do you want?" she asked rudely, a bit fearful of what he was going to do to her.
"To say good-bye." he said, and walked out of the door.
She flinched as the door shut. 'Maybe I should go get him...' she thought, grabbing her packed suitcase and walking out the door. She saw Brandon and ran up to him. She grabbed his sleeve and practically dragged him out of the Inn. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that..." she said.
"What are you doing?" he asked, somewhat shocked by her actions. "You made it clear you never wanted to see me again."
"I was just scared. I didn't mean it." she said guiltily. Though, she was still a bit scared and distrustful of the meister. "And besides, I can't let MY property go wandering around on his own." she added, completely serious.
"Wait, I'm property now? When did that happen?" he asked, confused by Alice's sudden change of moods and now being called 'property'
"You've always been my property." Alice replied.
"When did I agree to that?" he asked, becoming even more confused. 'Hm, she's acting very weird. I wonder if its that time of month...' he thought to himself.
"You never agreed to it. You just are." she replied.
"Why though?" he asked, still somewhat confused, his thought process still slightly cloudy from small amounts of remaining insanity.
"Why are you asking all these questions?" Alice asked annoyingly.
"Sorry, it's just that I can't think straight. It must be the left over insanity must've not cleared completely, since I haven't gone into 'insane mode' for a while, so it must be taking longer." he explained, rubbing the back of his head.
Alice laughed, which was a complete contrast to her previously serious tone of voice and outlook. She then gave Brandon a confused look. "I think I might be getting sick..."
"Why? What's wrong?" he asked, the insanity clearing instantly at the danger of his weapon getting hurt.
"You know before when I got this weird feeling in my stomach. It's kinda' the same, but more... uncomfortable." she said, suddenly feeling awkward talking to someone about it.
"Oh crap, not here." Brandon said, his eyes widening at the cause of her symptoms.
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" Alice asked, concerned that she might be seriously sick.
"Does it feel like its in your, er, "private" area?" he asked, worried that his conclusion might be true. Alice nodded bashfully, blushing a bit. "PMS." he said, sad that his conclusion was true.
Alice tilted her head to one side. "Uh, what's that?"
"Uh...have you felt like this before?" he asked, hoping that she might've asked about it at an earlier time so he didn't have to explain it.
"No." she replied.
"Uh, PMS is when...uh...here, google it." he said quickly,handing her his phone.
"OK." she said, taking the phone. She googled it, and wished she didn't. She gave the phone back to her meister, her face a bright red. "Here. Take it." she said.
"looks like we need tampons." he said,beginning to walk towards the door.
"...We should just go back to Medusa. I said I would get my stuff real quick and come back." Alice said. "They'll be wondering where I am."
"I guess I should stay here then, since I'm not exactly on both Alec and Medusa's good side right now." he said, sitting down on the bed.
Alice grabbed his arm. "You're m'property, so you're coming with me."
"I'm pretty sure Medusa would stop working with both of us if I come, so I'm not going." he said, struggling to sit back dow.
"I'll explain to them why I brought you and everything'll be fine." Alice said, dragging him out of the room.
"Fine. But if this fails, we're kinda screwed." he said, being dragged by his arm out of the room.
Alice dashed to Medusa's house in less than thirty minutes. She opened the door and was greeted by Alec, who started glaring at Brandon. "What is HE doing here?" Alec asked suspicously.
"Brandon's m'property and slave." Alice said.
"Oh." Alec said. "C'mon in." he grumbled reluctantly. Alice gladly walked in, dragging Brandon behind her. "I told Medusa what happened," Alec started. "She's not mad. In fact, she thinks you two'll make fine test subjects just because of that!" the Wendigo smirked.
"Wait, test subjects?" Brandon inquired, making sure he heard Alec correctly.
Alec grinned evily. "Yes. Test subjects."
"De ja vu." Brandon mumbled to himself, being dragged into the room where Medusa was sitting.
Medusa looked up from her stack of paperwork. "Oh, hello." she said to the duo. "I was wondering when you two would come back." Brandon just glared at the witch, dreading what would happen to the two teens.
Medusa looked at the suitcases they carried. "I assume you'll be staying with us for awhile? You are carrying suitcases, afterall."
"Yea. We don't have any other places to stay." Brandon said, pushing down the telescopic handle on his bag.
Medusa smirked. "I thought only Alice would be staying with us, so I put a bed in the room where you two would be studying," she turned to Brandon. "You will stay in there. Alice will share a room with Alec."
Alice turned to Brandon. "I wonder if Alec's listening in on our conversation."
"Most likely." he said, beginning to drag the bag to the room he was assigned.
Alice picked up her suitcase. "Um, thanks, Medusa..." she muttered unsurely, taking her bags to Alec's room.
Brandon found the guest room, and quickly unpacked his clothing. When he finished, Alec came in there to brag. Brandon saw the male kishin enter in the corner of his eye, and straightened out.
"What do you want?" he asked irritably, becoming enraged by the antagonizer's presence.
"Alice is sleepin' in my room. You jealous?" Alec grinned.
"I know that you won't do anything, since she is practically your sister." he said, countering the kishin's taunt.
Alec stuck his tongue out at the meister. "Your memory really sucks, don't it?"
"Oh, I remember now." he said, remembering their earlier conversation. His expression then became one of menace. "If you dare lay a finger on her, I will persionally disembowel you." he threatened, his voice turning sinister.
Alec chuckled at the threat. "I hope you know she doesn't trust you anymore." Brandon was deeply hurt by this revelation, but didn't show his reaction.
"So, then she doesn't trust you either." he retaliated, keeping his face clear of any signs of emotion.
Alec grinned. "I know you're hurt, don't try to deny it. I can smell the sadness on you."
"Really? I would've thought the endless hate would mask it." the meister shot back, becoming angrier.
"Hate has a weaker scent than sadness." Alec replied emotionlessly.
"Still, it should be in large enough quantities to make your nose burn." he replied, growing angrier.
"No. That's not possible. Hate is too weak." Alec said. "Love, on the other hand, has a very strong scent."
"Heh, like you would know." Brandon replied, chuckling once to himself.
Alec laughed wickedly. "Oh, I know. Because before you stabbed Alice, it was all over her. And after..." he snapped his fingers. "It was all replaced by fear and distrust. And if Alice is anything like me, you're gonna' have to work hard to regain her trust, though I doubt she'll ever love you again." he smirked.
"Fuck you!" Brandon spat, enraged beyond belief.
Alec turned to leave. "Have fun by yourself~!" he said, walking out the door. He closed it halfway before adding in a menacing tone, "...You bastard." Then he closed the door all the way and left.
"My god, I can't fucking wait to rip out his throat..." Brandon mumbled to himself, unpacking the rest of his clothes.
The door opened once again, this time by Alice. Her fake smile proving what Alec had said just moments before. "So~ how's it goin~?"
"Alec told me everything. You can drop the act." he replied with a tone of mixed sadness and anger. Alice's response was to drop her fake cheeryness. Her smile was replaced with a hateful scowl and her eyes turned cold. Brandon saw this sudden change, and felt even worse about what he did. "Look, I'm sorry-" he started, only to have Alice interrupt him.
"I trusted you, and you betrayed me. There's no 'sorry' about it!" she snarled. He opened his mouth to respond, but decided against it. He knew the damage was done, and words alone wouldn't restore her trust. Alice continued to glare at him. "From now on, we aren't 'partners'. I'm going to help Alec collect the souls we need. You can just stay out of the way." she hissed, before leaving.
All the while, Alec was mentally cheering about how Medusa's plan was working.
"Goddammit, alone again..." Brandon mumbled, remembering his lonely childhood.
Meanwhile, Alec was talking to Medusa. "Lady Medusa, the plan is working." the Kishin grinned. Medusa just gave him a doubtful glance. "The meister has already lost her trust. She's paranoid now. Now we should wait for whatever's left of her sanity to break, and she'll be yours."
Medusa grinned maliciously, a purple snake slithering out of the corner of her mouth. "How about we speed up that process?"
Brandon closed the final drawer with his clothes in it, and walked out of the room. While Alice was almost done unpacking her stuff. Brandon walked down the narrow hallway, leading to the the main room that Medusa and Alec were in, and began hearing the snippets of their conversation.
Medusa stood up, the chair she was sitting in screeching loudly as it slid across the old wood floor. "We know you're there, Brandon. It won't do you any good to hide."
"Who said I was hiding?" he asked, walking into the main room.
"How much did you hear?" Alec snarled.
"Just snippets." the meister responded, leaning against the wall next to the hallway's entrance. Alec glared at him. "What? You wanna go again?" the meister shit back, cracking his knuckles.
Alec was about to retort, but Medused silenced him. "You can tell Alice, but in the current condition your relationship is in, I highly doubt she'd actually believe you."
"Oh, would you just shut the fuck up with this 'trust' bullshit?" he moaned, getting sick of hearing his screw ups over and over.
"You can go ahead and tell her right now." Medusa smirked, completely ignoring his question. "Just see what'll happen." Brandon just squinted his eyes a little, realizing the witch's plans.
"Nah, I think I'll pass." he said, a small grin growing on his mouth.
"Then don't tell her." Alec replied. "Either way, she still hates your guts."
"Hey, it's better then seeing your own." Brandon replied, referencing the fight earlier that day.
"...Fuck you." Alec replied.
"Feeling is mutual, asshole." Brandon said, and then turned around and began walking down the hallway. At the same time, Alice walked out of Alec's room and bumped into her former meister. "Sorry." he mumbled as he kept walking to his room. She glowered at him before telling Alec she was going to bed. She went back into her room, changed into her pajamas and went to sleep.
Brandon went straight into his room, not bothering to change his pajamas, and quickly fell asleep. Alec quickly followed, while Medusa went back to the research lab.
Brandon woke up at about 7:00 the following morning, and quickly showered and changed into new clothes. He then walked out of his room and quickly found Medusa.
"Hey, you wouldn't happen to have any coffee, would you?" he asked, groggily rubbing one eye.
"No." Medusa replied. "But I'm about to cook breakfast. Go and wake Alec and your weapon. They'll probably be hungry." she said, walking into the kitchen. He quickly found the kishins' room, and walked in.
"Get up." he ordered in a loud, booming voice.
Alice sat up almost immediately, startled and holding her hands over her ears. But her gaze soon landed on Brandon and she glared at him.
Alec sat up after she did. "C'mon, get dressed. Medusa probably made breakfast." he said.
Alice quickly got dressed and went into the kitchen. Alec-who slept in his clothes-shouldered past Brandon. "You think she's gonna' like you more if you wake her up by making her ears bleed?" he asked with a chastising look. "You are an idiot."
"Does it look like I give two fucks?" Brandon retorted, heading towards the kitchen. Medusa made a breakfast plate for each of them, putting a snake in Alice's. The meal was pancakes with syrup, bacon, two biscuits a piece and eggs. Alice at her eggs hungrily, as did Alec.
Brandon ate more slowly, enjoying the full flavor of the meal and stood up when he was done. The two Wendigos looked at Brandon with the same curious expression, appearing much like twins. "I'm going to collect souls." he said, and began walking towards the door.
"OK." Medusa replied. "Alec will go with you. Alice will assist me in the lab." she ordered, making Alec follow Brandon with an evil grin.
"Fuck." Brandon muttered under his breath as the two walked out of the front door. Alec chuckled sadisticly.
He loved pissing people off.
They quickly navigated through the brush, and made it to the other side of the forest. As they existed the forest, Brandon turned to face Alec,
"Listen up. I'm not in the mood for any bullshit, so just tell me where the damn kishins are. You just tell me that, and I'll go kill the bastards. You just tell me where they are, stay quiet, and don't get in my fucking way. Got it?" the meister instructed, starring down the Kishin.
"Aww, is the big, bad meister getting pissed off?" Alec taunted.
"Look, I've got nothing to lose at this point. I can't get home, I'm stuck dealing with your dumb ass, and I lt my only true friend in this shithole, so don't fuck with me unless you have a death wish." Brandon threatened, gritting his teeth.
"I'm so scared." Alec said sarcastically, leading him to an area where most of the Kishins were and-surprisingly-turned into a scythe-weapon for Brandon to use. Brandon rotated the scythe in his hand, looking it over.
The scythe had a black, iron handle and the slender, dark silver blade was in a menacing shape. He was a weapon that could terrify any foe.
"You gonna' fight or what, dumbass?" Alec asked, his image appearing in the blade.
"Yea, just thinking of a good battle strategy." he said, and quickly ran up to the kishins. He swung horizontally at one that was facing away, and it's body exploded in a puff of white smoke.
"I feel bad for these Kishins." Alec said as Brandon killed another one.
"Look, would you rather kill a couple of kishins, or deal with an angry Medusa?" Brandn asked, slinging one in half vertically.
"Eh, I don't really have a choice at the moment," Alec replied, then started freaking out. "Holy shit, I'm going to Kishin Hell and my soul is going to be tortured for eternity. I should never have agreed to this! That woman is nothing gut trouble!"
"Would you mind shutting up for a second? It's hard to focus with your bitching running through my mind." Brandon said, narrowly dodging a slice from a Kishin with a machete, only to receive the blade of the synthetic shoved into its chest.
"OK."
"Thank you." Brandon replied, and quickly killed the rest of the kishins. Alec turned back into his human-er, Kishin?-form. He looked sick, having killed so many Kishins. "Hey, get a hold of yourself." Brandin said, watching Alec struggle to keep his balance.
...And as soon as Brandon said that, the Kishin fainted.
"Ok, seriously. Why the fuck does everyone faint?" Brandon asked, picking up the limp body and put him over his shoulders in a fireman carry. He then quickly returned to the house. When he got there, he saw an irritated Medusa-who was wearing a lab coat-and a pissed off, paranoid looking Alice-who was also wearing a lab coat. "What?" he asked, lying Alec down in one of the chairs.
"Someone from the lab found out I was a witch." Medusa said.
Alice piped up. "Then they accused me of being one."
"What did you do about it?" he asked, getting a glass of water.
"Well, Medusa killed the guy. I STILL don't think that was a very bright idea, Medusa!" Alice said, making the witch glower at her. "So, we had to run and come back here."
"Shit. You guys don't have the tools required to do your research." Brandon said, face-palming. "What do you need?"
"It's OK. We stole some from the lab, so we should be fine." Alice said.
"What did you do to my experiment?" Medusa asked, noticing the unconcsience Alec for the first time.
"I didn't do anything. We were out collecting Kishin souls, and when we finished, he transformed back to normal and fell flat on his face." Brandon explained, glancing at the unconscious body quickly.
Medusa looked at Alec in distaste while Alice muttered something about boys being pathetic. "Should I leave him here or bring him to his room?" Brandon asked, gesturing towards the unconscious boy.
Medusa thought for a moment. "Take him to his room."
"You're both pathetic, aren't 'cha?" Alice commented dryly.
"What'dya mean?" Brandon asked, lifting the unconcious kishin and put him over his shoulder.
"Alec faints at the sight of a Kishin soul," Alice started. "And you're just desperate."
"I'm not going to comment on that, but I disagree entirely." he replied, hiding his anger. Medusa left, not entirely in the mood to hear the two bitch to eachother about their problems.
"Pffft~! You started likin' me, didn't ya'?" Alice retorted. "Ya' gotta' be desperate."
"Well, if I liked anyone else, they'd think I'm crazy when I tell them!" he shot back, taking a mental note of Medusa's departure.
"Well, Brandon, you ARE crazy!" Alice shot back hotly.
"You don't say?" he asked sarcastically. "I thought i could use my powers because of my freakin' overshirt!" he shot back, grabbing his outer shirt.
"What?" Alice asked, laughing.
"Because I'm insane and insanity in my soul," he began explaining angrily. "I can do all of the crazy shit you've seen me do."
"Well, I didn't say there was anything wrong with crazy people. Crazies are awesome." Alice replied, stil wondering what his madness had to do with his shirt.
"You're only saying that because you are one yourself." he teased, calming down a little.
Alice giggled, no longer mad at the meister. "How true~!"
"Hey, do you know where Medusa went?" he asked, remembering his mental note.
"I honestly have no idea where she went."
"I swear, she always appears and disappears randomly..." Brandon trailed off, looking at the doors that led to unknown locations. The house was much bigger than it appeared to be on the outside.
"Well, before we look for her, I'm gonna' put Alec in his room." Alice said, taking the unconcious Kishin from Brandon and walking to Alec's room.
"I could have done it." he said as she walked down the hallway leading to the kishins' room
"Oh, well." Alice said, laying Alec down on his bed. "Hm, he's actually a lot lighter than I thought he would be..."
Brandon stood in the kithcen, thinking about the previous events. 'She seemed to warm up, and that's a good start.' he thought as Alice began her walk back to where he was standing.
"Hmmm. I wonder how heavy you are." Alice said, now behind Brandon. She then proceded to pick him up by his foot and raising her arm as far above her head as it would go, leaving Brandon's own head a good one and a half feet off the ground. "You're not heavy at all." she commented.
"Put me down!" he yelled, sturggling in vain against the kishin's grasp.
"OK." Alice said, dropping Brandon so that he landed painfully on his head with a load thud.
"Crap!" he yelled, standing up while holding his head. "You could've put me down more gently." he said, rubbing his head. Alice giggled at his pain. "Why the hell did you pick me up anyways?" he asked, turning his head to look his former weapon in the eyes.
"I wanted to see how heavy you were." she said. "You're both pretty light, albeit you're heavier than Alec."
"I'm only 125 pounds." Brandon replied, brushing some dust off the front of his shirt.
"I'd say Alec is about 97 pounds, give or take a couple pounds." Alice began. "Come to think of it, he kinda' looks like a girl, don't he?" she chuckled.
"Yea." he said, chuckling as he thought about it. 'I'll make sure to use that against him in our next argument.' he thought, making a mental note of the insult.
"..." Alice face-palmed. "Could you two at least TRY to get along?"
"No. He just gives off this vibe that aggrivates and annoys me." he explained.
"You wouldn't like the Kidd from my dimension, then. He acts the same way." Alice said. "A lot of male Wendigos do, actually."
"Really? Well, I guess it's not too surprising." the meister said, thinking about what he was just told.
"Well, like I said before, we're like animals." Alice explained. "We just follow our instincts."
"Yea..." Brandon trailed, not really paying attention. He was too preoccupied with locating a room with Medusa in it.
"You're not listening, are you?" Alice dead-panned.
"What?" he asked, snapping his attention back to their current coversation.
"Yep. I was right." Alice said. "You weren't listening at all, were you?"
At just that moment, Medusa came in from one of the mystery doors. "I've decided that you three will have to leave Germany." she said. "I'll be able to hold off everyone, I've been hunted down before, but Alice won't be able to, and Alec is already a wanted criminal. I will not let my test subjects be harmed, so the three of you will be leaving for Italy first thing tomorrow. Understood?"
"Italy? I'm cool with that." Brandon said, processing the witch's orders.
Alice chuckled. "I doubt Alec's gonna' be too happy about getting kicked out of his own house by a bunch of humans."
"He won't." Medusa replied.
"Well, I should check to see if his lazy ass is concious yet." Brandon said, beginning to walk towards the male kishin's room.
"I'll go with you." Alice said, following Brandon.
"Alright." he replied, and the two walked quickly to the bedroom. When they reached it, Brandon opened the door and saw the kishin was still asleep.
"You wake him, cause if I have to, I'll end up kicking his ass out of the bed." Brandon said, turning his head to talk to Alice.
"OK." Alice said, walking over to the bed. She turned one of her fingers into a half-inch blade, and stabbed Alec's arm.
"OW!" the Kishin yelled. "What the hell was that for?!"
"That's the only way I know how to wake an unconscious person." Alice replied.
"You're so mean sometimes!" Alec pouted.
"You're a guy. Suck it up." Brandon said from the doorway, chuckling to himself.
"Fuck off." The Kishin replied.
"Alec, can you at least try to get along with Brandon?" Alice asked with a disappointing tone of voice.
"Fine." Alec reluctantly said. "I'll try."
"I'll try too, but I'm not making any promises." Brandon said with a slightly loathsome tone.
"Good!" Alice said. "Now, Alec, Medusa said the three of us need to go to Italy tomorrow because the people at the research lab are hunting us down."
"A bunch of fucking humans are NOT kicking me out of my own house!" Alec growled.
"If you don't start packing, I'll tape you up in a duct tape cocoon and drag you out." Brandon threatened before walking to his room. Once he reached it, he began to pack quickly.
"...I've got nothing to pack, though." Alec said as he left, dumbfounded. The only thing he had was the house and the clothes on his back. "This is all Medusa's stuff..."
"Oh well," Alice said. "We'll just have to buy some clothes when we get to Italy." she said, packing.
"Alright." The Kishin replied, helping Alice pack her stuff.
Brandon quickly packed all of his clothes into the suitcase he brought to the house, and walked to the neighboring bedroom's door and knocked on it.
"You guys ready?" he called through the closed door.
"Yeah." Alec called out the door. "You can come in if you want to."
"Alright." Brandon responded, and walked through the door, with the suitcase he was dragging quickly following. Alice closed her suitcase and stood up.
"Our best bet is to go to Venice, and then have Medusa contact us when all of this has blown over." Brandon said, thinking of a plan for the group's future.
"OK." Alec said. "I'm not sure, but I think Medusa sent Eruka to Venice. If she's there, we could stay with her."
"Then it's settled. Now, we just need to find a way to smuggle you out of the country." Brandon said, thinking of different ways to get the wanted criminal across the border to Venice.
"I think it'll be pretty easy to make him look different, considering he looks kinda' like a girl." Alice replied.
"HEY!" Alec yelled, but was left ignored.
"We could just make him wear some of my clothes." Alice finished.
"Nah, they would probably recognize his face." Brandon said, thinknig of a new plan. "I got it." Brandon said, a plan coming into formation in his mind.
"Whatever your idea is, it better not involve me cross-dressing." Alec said, sending an indignant glare towards Alice.
"No, but I hope you're not claustrophobic." Brandon replied, a small grin growing on his face.
"No. I'm not afraid of anything." Alec said. "Now explain."
"We're gonna need a car, some bungee cords, and a cardboard box big enough to hold Alec." Brandon began. "When we have these materials, we will put Alec in the box, bungee it to the car, and drive across the border. If we get stopped by the border police, they will have one guy sent to investigate the box. Alice will hypnotize him, and we will be on our merry way."
"Wait... we can just take a plane. And I'll just hypnotise everyone into thinking it's not Alec." Alice pointed out. "We just need another name for Alec to use."
"Good idea." Alec said. "That's the simplest option. But if you knew you could do that, why did you want me to cross-dress?"
"Uh... No reason." Alice chuckled.
"She's a bit perverted." Brandon said, chuckling silently to himself. "But you said hypnotizing takes a lot of your energy. Wouldn't hypnotizing that many people possibly kill you?" Brandon asked, a tiny bit of a concerned tone slipping in to the statement.
"Maybe." she said, turning to Alec. "Hey, Alec, are you a Looker?"
"According to most girls, yes." he joked. Alice face-palmed. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But I am a Looker. So, maybe I could help with that?"
"Maybe it could work in that case." Brandon said, realizing that the two's combined power could pull off the plan. "Even though i would've liked putting Alec in a box..." Alec then proceded to stick his middle finger up at Brandon.
"Breaking the truce already, huh?" Brandon asked, not at all surprised by Alec's gesture.
"You're the one who was gonna' stuff me in a box!" Alec retorted.
Alice, who was fed up with the two fighting, piped up. "It's decided! Alec cross-dresses!"
"You've gotta be kidding me." Alec replied, annoyed. Brandon instantly broke out into laughter.
"No, really! Not everyone will recognise him, and I'll just hypnotise the ones that do!" Alice laughed, leaving Alec as the only who wasn't amused. Brandon saw Alec's discomfort, and wanted to make it worse for him.
"Cheer up." he said, still laughing. "Wearing a push-up bra can't be that bad."
"Fuck you!" Alec said, his face flushed with anger and embarassment. He was starting to think that hiding in a box would be the best choice.
"He doesn't have to wear a bra!" Alice chuckled. "He could just pose as a very flat-chested girl, like Chrona."
"True, true." Brandon said, thinking about it. "So, now that we have a plan in place, let's go book our flight."
"You go book the flight. I'll stay and 'work' on Alec." Alice said, smirking at Alec.
"Make him suffer." Brandon said with a sadistic tone. He then walked out of the bedroom, and then left the house. He quickly reached the airport, booked two more tickets since he already had one, and returned to the house.
Meanwhile, Alice had forced Alec to wear one of her T-shirts and her jeans, which made him look like a version of her with shorter hair. When Brandon came home and walked into the room, Alice had the nerve to say, "You make a very cute girl, Alec."
"Fuck you." he replied.
"At least you don't have to throw off your voice. Not only do you look like a girl, you sound kind of like one, too." Alice chuckled.
"Jesus Christ, you just made a clone of yourself and cut its hair." Brandon joked, taking in Alec's new appearence.
"Fuck you." Alec said, embarassed. Then, to add to his embarassment, Alice randomly hugged him. "Get. Off."
"No." she replied.
"She's a hugger alright." Brandon said, grabbing his suitcase. Alice let go of her counterpart and grabbed her own suitcase.
"When are we leaving?" Alec asked. "The sooner, the better."
"Tonight at 7:00." Brandon replied, reading the departure time off of the ticket as he handed them to the two kishins.
"What time is it now?" The male Kishin asked.
"It is..." Brandon began, pulling up his phone and then quickly checked the time. "5:30. We better get going." he finished, putting his phone back in his jean pocket.
"While we leave, we should think of a name for Alec to use." Alice said.
"Hmm...how about Alica?" Brandon suggested, thinking of a female nickname.
At the mention of the name, Alec looked disgusted. "No!"
Alice grinned. "Yep, lets go with that!"
"Sounds good." the meister said, a grin shining brightly on his face because of Alec's misfortune.
"I hate both of you." the cross-dressing Kishin said.
"Shut up, Alica." Brandon joked, chuckling a little.
Alice burst out laughing. "Traitor." Alec said, embarassed and, quite frankly, extremely pissed.
"We should really get going, or we could miss the flight." Brandon said, struggling to talk through his laughter.
Alec stood. "Lets go." he said, silently hoping that Medusa wouldn't see him like that.
They then stood up, grabbing the appropriate suitcases, and walked out of the bedroom. "How long will it take to get there?" Alec asked.
"Half an hour to an hour. It depends on how long you want to stop and bitch about what you're wearing." Brandon replied, keeping his head straight. Alec grumbled something under his breath about 'filthy humans', but continued to follow Brandon, along with a snickering Alice. They walked out of the house, and walked quickly and silently to the airport. They quickly arrived, and Brandon took out his phone.
"It's 6:15" he said, putting the mobile device back into his pocket.
"OK, we have 45 minutes." Alec said. "What're we gonna' do while we wait?"
"We could whore you out for some extra cash." Brandon joked, chuckling to himself. Alice and Alec looked at him with unamused expressions, neither sure who he was talking to. Brandon saw the two's confused look, and decided to clarify. "Alica, not Alice." he said quickly, not wanting to get hit in the head with Alice's pan.
Alec stuck his tongue out at Brandon. "Sorry, I only do girls."
"Really? You're feminine enough for guys to think you're a chick." Brandon joked, grinning a little.
"Screw you." Alec said.
"Hey, Alec?" Alice asked."Yeah?"
"Uh, are you a virgin?"
"That's personal business."
"So no." Brandon added, shaking his head in disapproval.
"I didn't think so." Alice chuckled.
"Then why did you ask?"
"Just curious."
"She's weird like that." Brandon said.
"From the way you are acting, I'm gonna' guess you are one." Alec said to Brandon.
"Dude, I'm fifteen. Where the hell am I gonna score?" Brandon asked.
Alec chuckled. "From the what you just told me, I have come to this conclusion; It's easier for a Kishin to get laid than you."
"No shit. You can basically lobotomize a chick with your hypnoses and then bang her, while I can't do that." Brandon replied, getting more defensive.
"Actually, I don't hypnotize girls, it's against my morals." Alec said. "They just naturally like me."
"I call bullshit." Brandon said, thinking no body could stand being with the male kishin for more than 5 minutes, let alone date him.
"Hey, I didn't say I have a girlfriend at the moment." Alec replied. "I just give 'em what they want."
"How would you 'give 'em what they want'if you're still a virgin?" Brandon questioned, seeing a loop hole appear in the kishin's story.
"Hm? I'm not." Alec said. "I thought we made that clear."
"I know for a fact that you are a virgin." Brandon replied, crossing his arms.
"Well, can you prove it?" Alec asked, crossing his arms, making him look more feminine than he already was.
"Any man with a sac between his legs would brag for hours about getting laid." Brandon replied, looking the male Kishin in the eyes as he spoke.
"I'm a Wendigo, not a filthy human like you! I actually have standards!" Alec said, then added in a hushed tone, "Besides, If I did, Medusa would kill me! That woman is fucking scary, man."
"I know how that is." Brandon replied, lowering his voice too.
"What time is it?" Alice cut in.
"It's 6:45." Brandon replied, glancing at his phone. "We should get going."
