Chapter 4: Living with a Drunk
Wow, you guys are really going nuts. This almost has as many reviews as A New Beginning for RED, more followers and more favorites. Not as many views though. I could not be happier with this fic. Let's see if Misha can take a day of Taiyang without breaking him… too much.
Next day
Misha did not get any sleep that night. He just held his shotgun at the door and kept his girls close as they slept. He would of stayed there all day if it wasn't for his clock going off. It was 8:00 so be decided to wake up his girls.
"доброе утро (good morning)", Misha said to his girls, hoping they would understand him to wake up.
"доброе утро", Yang responded, sleepily. She had her eyes half open and was still snuggling up in his lap. He was happy she started to use more Russian around him.
"We have to eat", Misha said to his daughter.
"Huh, who dat", said Ruby on the words breakfast. While Yang picked up a but of Russian and was going down his path of strength, Ruby had her adoptive father's appetite. "Are we eating cookies", Ruby asked in hope of a sweet treat.
"net(no)", said Misha as he reached into his Sandvich sack. He then pulled out a Sandvich which surprisingly stayed intact and cleanly on a plate no less. Ruby wasn't upset, like she would usually be, as Sandviches were her one of her favorite foods and she was starving. Yang took a Sandvich out of the bag too and licked her lips. Misha grabbed his favorite food and devoured it with a OMNOMNOM. Yang and Ruby giggled at the hilarious way he eats Sandviches.
Yang ate it slowly and enjoyed the simple yet delicious combination of bread, meat, dairy, and vegetables. Ruby on the other hand ate it like a mini version of Misha even down to a higher pitch, faster OMNOMNOM. Misha chuckled and messed up Ruby's hair. She happily chewed up her meal, food filling her cheeks.
"I bring you toys", Misha said as he pulled out his two homemade dolls he made for the girls. Yang's was a girl with blonde hair made of yarn, you could see the stitching on it and he even put purple buttons for the eyes with a yellow dress. Yang named it Sally, she smiled at the doll and picked it up. Ruby's was just a little red sack which she named Rose. Don't think Misha is lazy here, he actually just took it out when he was making Ruby's but she saw it and put googly eyes on it. She thought it was cute and funny so Misha couldn't make it into something as it would upset Ruby. Ruby hugged her doll and showed it a lot of love. Misha smiled, even in their darkest times they still seem so happy as long as he's around.
The door flew open and Misha saw Taiyang with some other men. They all had wicked grins on their faces and looked at Yang. "This the girl... she's a keeper", one of the men said.
"Oh, she'll do great for what we need, hey sweetie why don't you come with u…", the man was about to finish but Misha socked him in the face. He was knocked out cold, he even had a bruise on him, his weak aura wasn't enough to block out Misa's strength.
"You do not touch my girls", Misha said as he got up, scaring the shit out of a few.
"What do they want dad", Yang said as she stayed close to the Russian, Ruby did as well.
"Awww, sooner or later your gonna call us dad", the man said with a shit eating smile. Misha pulled out his revolver and pointed it at him. He had his shotgun in his other hand and looked REALLY pissed. His glare actually scarred one of them off. He was tall, muscular, had guns, and was REALLY Russian. Would you seriously want to fight that?
"If you leave now I will not destroy you", Misha said plainly. One guy charged and jammed a knife into his chest. Misha pistol whipped him and kicked him in the jaw. The other guy pulled out a dust pistol and lit him up. The rounds didn't do much as Misha shot him in the leg. He screamed in pain and held his leg to stop the bleeding. Tai threw a punch but and hit Misha straight in the face. It didn't do much, kinda hurt his hand too. Misha just looked more pissed and punched him so hard he got stuck in the wall. Misha then grabbed the guy he previously shot and threw him off the stairs.
He pointed his 500 Magnum and said, "You leave and I will not kill you", he pulled the hammer of the gun to show he meant business. The man then limped away and fell on the ground. He just crawled out of the door, leaving a faint trail of blood. Misha holstered his gun and went up the stairs. Misha threw Tai onto the couch and grabbed his two scumbag friends. He threw them out the door and shut it.
"Are they gone", Yang said as se climbed down the stairs.
"Da", Misha said to his girl. "Are those the men you're 'father' used to invite over", Misha asked, he wanted to make sure so that if they raped her he'd kick their asses into the next 9 years of development.
"Yes, but they left us alone. What did they want with me", Yang asked, a bit shaken from what happened.
Misha paused for a second, they probably wanted to gang bang her. Sick fucks. Anyways, Misha looked ot his daughter and said, "You do not need to know, they just do bad things", Misha said as he rubbed her cheek.
"Don't worry, daddy is a huntsman so he can protect us from anything", Ruby said as she hugged his leg. She generally thought of Misha as a superhero since he owned unique weapons (Or at least for Remnant anyways since they are Earth guns that use bullets and gunpowder instead of dust) and fought grimm and bad guys.
The three heard whimpering and scratching. "A Puppy", Ruby said excitedly as she jumped for joy.
"Go to room girls", Misha said. Ruby pouted at him as she really wanted to see the puppy, like she really wanted to use Misha's shotgun. He grabbed his revolver from his holster and handed it to Yang. "You use this, no", Misha asked. She only ever shot a .44 Magnum and a Judge Taurus so this was new,
"What about you", Yang asked as she grasped the huge firearm in her small hands. The Judge Taurus she used was a snub nosed was and .44 Magnum was not nearly as big. Misha answered her question by pumping his shotgun. Misha then walked around to try and follow the source of the whimpering.
"B-but I want to…", Ruby was about to finish but Yang dragged her up the stairs by her cape.
Misha was going mad trying to find the source of the whimpers, but no luck. He flipped over furniture, that wasn't already flipped over anyways. After a solid 20 minutes of searching he couldn't find the puppy. He set down his shotgun and leaned against a door, only to hear the whimpering, so close. He tried to open the door but it was locked, not like it was a problem. Misha grabbed the door and pulled it off it's hinges.
Setting it aside he saw a kennel and a small with a black-headed tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi with gray eyes, it was curled up in a ball. The closet he found was full of broken beer bottles, empty boxes of firecrackers, and reeked of smoke. The food bowl and water were empty, with residue in the water bowl and only crumbs in the food bowl. Misha went in closer to inspect the dog but it turned around and shook, as it was frightened.
Misha opened the kennel to let the dog out, but it stayed in the kennel, still scared. Misha went to pet the dog but when he put his finger by it moved away. Misha then just grabbed the dog from the kennel to inspect it, it started whining. He saw that it's fur was messy, it smelled a bit like smoke, it had a patch of fur that was burnt or something, and the teeth had cavities and some were rotting.
Misha was disgusted by Taiyang for doing this to not only his daughters but his damn dog, that was still a puppy. He looked at the red collar and saw it's name was Zweii.
He took it upstairs and when he opened the door he saw Yang and Ruby playing with their dolls. Ruby's eye lit up when she saw the little puppy he brought up. Zweii was not as excited when Ruby ran up to Misha to try and grab the puppy from him. "No Ruby, is scared", Misha said as she saw the pup quiver in fear. She felt sorry for it and pet it gently on the head. Yang got up and saw Misha was a look of disgust.
"Man, this guy is mean", Yang said as she thought about her horrible biological father. Yang grabbed Misha's revolver and handed it to him.
"Thank you, sweetie", Misha said as he messed with her hair, getting a pout in return. He put the puppy down to it walk around. Try saying that five times fast. The pup then ran to a corner and curled up into a ball. Ruby went over to it a started to pet it, she really felt bad so she would try to make it feel comfortable. Misha grabbed a Sandvich from the Sandvich Sack and placed it down by Zweii. The dog couldn't resist the moist and delicious treat so it started to chew on it but it whined a little since it's neglected teeth were hurting.
Misha watched as the dog enjoyed the food at least. Misha then heard cursing and swearing from Taiyang. He went down and saw him drinking a beer s he gave Misha a Luigi death stare. "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO MY DOOR AND THAT FUCKING MUTT", Tai screamed at Misha.
"Dog is alone in dark closet with no food or water", Misha said plainly. He shot his own glare at Tai.
"Why can't you just fuck off and let me raise my damn family", he yelled at the Russian, not even thinking that Misha could break him like a twig.
"How do you expect to raise them, hitting and ruining childhood", Misha yelled in anger. "All you do is scare and make them cry. I make them happy, I am what you should be".
"What, punching any one who pisses you off", Tai retaliated. "You're no better than me".
"SHUT UP", Misha yelled as he pinned Tai against the wall. "They are mine now, and as soon as I get my money we leave this place, then you can fucking get drunk all you want", Misha said. Tai was about to say something but Misha threw him down, he exhaled like a bull and went back upstairs. You know Misha's pissed when he sais fuck, he rarely ever uses it.
Tai screamed into a pillow, then he got a beer, and then watched T.V. I guess that's what you do after a giant, musclebound Russian guy breaks down your closet door. Misha was pissed too, he felt like hitting the wall, but didn't want to freak out around the girls, and didn't want the house to come crashing down. He just started to clean his guns, for like an hour.
The girls were playing with dolls and trying to get the puppy to play. Ruby looked at the scared puppy and teared up. "Why would someone do that to a puppy", Ruby said, sniffling a little as she eyed the pet.
"I don't know", Yang said, she was pretty sad too but she held back her tears as she wanted it be her big, strong sister. They were feeling a bit frightened by how cruel their former father is.
Ruby then looked up at her papa bear with puppy dog eyes. "We need to take the puppy", she said, using her puppy eyes to stare into Misha's soul.
"Da", Misha said.
"B-but he's so…. wait yes", Ruby said in confusion as she wouldn't expect a dad to say yes about taking in a random dog. Ruby jumped for joy as they were finally getting a puppy she wanted one for so damn long but Misha would say no as it costs too much money. Yang was happy to just see her sister happy, like if they were back home. Misha then looked at the dog, the dog was still shaking. Misha pulled out a bottle of water and poured it on the dog. Now before you think Msha is an asshole and start to call PETA and Trump on my Mexican ass just read the rest. He took out a rag and begun to wash the dog, he also packed soap so he used ti too.
The dog squirmed in fear and pain but Misha still went at it to make sure the puppy would at least be clean and fed. The puppy was really thin so Misha tried to as gentle as a 7 foot, muscle bound, Russian man can be.
The girls wanted to help but Misha stopped them as he didn't know if it was sick. Misha didn't really give a shit about getting sick. He literally ate random bear that tried to fuck with him on a daily basis and lived in Russia, not exactly a day at the beach. He cleaned the corgi's fur and washed away some blood that was on the skin, he rubbed the bruises, which hurt like hell, and accidentally opened a scab, luckily he packed bandages in his bag and fixed the puppy up. It now looked cleaner with bandages wrapped around its torso.
The puppy went back to it's corner and curled up into a little ball. Ruby went over and held it, the puppy shivered in fear. She looked at the collar and saw it's name was Zweii. "Your name's Zweii, that's cute", Ruby said as she pet the puppy. Misha watched as Ruby handled the puppy well, the dog wasn't as scared and actually seemed to calm down a bit. It reminded him of the time he found a wounded sparrow back at the assassination camp he went to as a young boy. He held the bird in his hands till it died, then he held a funeral for it and dug it a tiny grave. Misha was pulled out of his trance when he felt Yang tug his arm.
"Will the puppy be ok", Yang asked.
"Da", Misha responded. His heart melted at the sight of Ruby cuddling with the puppy. He at least knew that Tai had not broken the girls spirits. Misha then got a call on his cell phone. He answered it and said, "Is Misha".
"Heavy, this is Pauling", Miss Pauling said, fast and clear. "We're giving you're money a few days early so, I'll send it to your current location, you are still there right", Miss Pauling said. Misha's heart jumped, he can now take custody of them.
He started t pack the supplies, and asked, "When is money coming in".
"Today", he said. "Get ready to receive it, because it will be only lft on your door step, and I will only ring the bell once", she said, Misha thought this was even more shadier than it was but he didn't care, the money is here and now he can leave this drunk.
"Girls, get 'Zweii' ready to go, and help me put away some things", Misha said. He and girls packed up all their belongings that Misha brought. Misha packed his shotgun in their too but kept his revolver just in case.
"Why are we packing", Yang asked.
"We get money today", Misha said. "Now we wait for doorbell", Misha said as he just sat in front of the door, patiently waiting. He was fed up with Tai, he was defiantly one of the more annoying people he'd met, he couldn't tell who he hated more though, Tai or Scout. Scout was just an annoying little prick and full of himself. He was leaning a bit towards Tai though as he was a drunk who abused his daughters, who are now his daughters.
Misha sat at the door for hours, waiting, his hand on his revolver the whole time, he just sat and waited. As he just sat he had time to just think, something he couldn't do in a long time. He just thought back to his younger years of his childhood, or lack of childhood. He remembered that his dad would constantly move him and the rest of the family to new places to live. He was a happy child, but everything started to change when communism really started to kick in, with the constant deaths of people and shit like that. He remembered the days of the assassination camp, he remembered missing his mother so much and was picked on for being fat. He did manage to get muscle ad was still pretty strong as a child but none of the less, he was miserable. They were trained in weapons at the age of 11, Misha would always be given heavier weaponry, he even got to use some rifles.
He had to grow up, mentally, at a young age. When he was older and went to school, he was a pacifist, never wanting to hurt anyone, you could say he was a jolly giant, just without being jolly, more of a introvert. He did get crushes on pretty red heads but other then that he had no friends. But you see, there were two things boys had to choose between, boxing or herding with goats. Misha is not good with goats… so he started to box, fights were a bit one sided as he was one of the biggest guys there and couldn't really be in a certain weight class. He didn't like hitting other boys, but he learned to like it, and boxing is one of his specialties.
He remembered the days of bullet making, oh how he could make money with that. Selling bullets made from old coins helped him, he sold them to kids who had dads fond of guns but could barely afford the gun and needed bullets. Misha would've made a lot of money, if he could've found a surplus supply of old coins, which would of probably cost a lot so he would once and awhile find a old coin on the street and make a bullet.
The 'happier' memories were now fading as he remembered the cruel facility he was in, when he and his family got captured, and when his father passed. They were tortured and beaten, didn't help that his father and mother were getting old. Then he remembered that one night the night that changed him. He saw his father, weak, pale, and sickly. His father was basically Misha in present day, expect bigger and a long white beard which makes him look like a muscular, Santa, or Ded Moroz(Kinda like the Russian version of Santa).
Seeing his huge, intimidating father, weakened, and broken. He remembered that one night and his father's last words. "M-Mikhail… y-you have to take care of the family, you're the m-man of the house now, you... you need to be str-strong…", his father said weakly and then passed.
There were only 3 instances when Misha has ever cried, at birth, the time he got he got attacked by a bear when he was seven, and when his father had passed. He has tried to honor is father by becoming the big stronk man he is today. He wishes his father could see him and they could still be wrestling bears together and laughing in the cold of Russia, if they were still safe. Now he has devoted his life to two things, putting an end to anything evil, and keeping his two girls safe.
He was then brought out of his train of thought as he felt something poking him. It was Ruby, she looked up at him and said, "Doorbell". Misha then got up and grabbed the girls, the dog, and his bag. His girls rode on his shoulder and Tuby held Zweii tightly. Misha had his revolver out and ran down the stairs, but before he could walk out the door, he heard a gun cock. He turned to see Tai with a dust pistol. He had pissed look in his eye as he held the gun to Misha.
"Give me back my girls, now, or I'll shoot", he said. Misha put the girls, the dog, and his bag down. He holstered his gun and slowly walked towards Tai. "Are you fucking stupid, I got a gun pointed at you", he said to Misha. He just walked closer, Ruby and Yang tensed up, they didn't know what he was doing. "DO YOU WANT TO DIE", Tai yelled. Misha was towering over him, he didn't have his oversized sidearm out and was just standing, high and mighty.
Tai then shot Misha right in the face, the girls were in tears, devastated, Ruby held Yang and cried into her shirt. Yanged held Ruby and cried with her, Zweii just lowered his ears and looked sad.
Tai's eyes were closed the whole time, he was actually shaking, so many thoughts were through his head but he opened his eyes to see Misha, still standing, his cheek bone was exposed, but it didn't even crack the bone, only a flesh wound. Misha then got up and pulled out a chocolate bar, he ate it and healed the wound. Yang and Ruby ran to Misha and hugged him, relieved he was alive, they thought their papa bear was dead from the shot, seeing the blood made them think that he could of died and they would now be with this horrible, horrible man they would have to call dad.
"I'M THE ONLY GODDAMN REASON YOU'RE FUCKING ALIVE", he yelled to the girls. Ruby couldn't look at him and Yang just stared at him, with a look of shame, shame she was even related to this fucking drunk. She then turned around and faced her real family. "JUST FUCKING GO", Tai said, he threw his pistol at the wall, his strength managed to break it. Misha then walked out of the house and left with his girls and their new dog.
As the Russian walked to his car he noticed something different about Tai, he wasn't talking gibberish, he seemed sad, and actually looked mad. He wasn't drunk mad, he was just mad, like his emotions just opened up and he realized how badly he treated the girls, the pain, suffering and fear he put them through. Misha walked into the car, Ruby and Zwei cuddled up with each other and fell asleep. Yang leaned against her dad, "I love you", she said.
"I love you too, with all heart", Misha said back to her, he now had more to think about, but now he wanted to think about how he was going to help the girls forget this awful memory.
Back with Tai
Once they were gone he cried, he then fell to the couch, screaming fuck countless times as he sobbed. He then looked into his wallet and saw a girl that looked like an older version of Ruby, she was wearing a white cape was seen hugging a younger version of Tai. He then went into the closet Zweii was kept in and found a picture of a woman that looked like an older version of yang, but with black hair and red eyes.
He then set up the pictures by the coffee table he had, he threw all the beer bottles off of it, in disgust, he set the pictures of the girls down gently. "I'm sorry, I fucked everything up, I thought I could raise them on my own but all I did was fuck them up", he said, on the verge of crying more.
"I'm sorry, Rave, Summer, I'm just a fucking drunk who should just fuck off and go to Hell", he yelled as he sobbed into the couch. He then looked at a intact, empty beer bottle and said with rage, "If it wasn't for this shitthey would be with me happy, I thought I could drink the heartache away. ALL THIS SHIT DID WAS FUCK UP MY LIFE". He proceeded to throw the bottle and continued to sob into the couch. Thinking back at all the cruel thing he would of done to them if Misha hadn't taken them under his muscular wing and beat some sense into him.
