Son of Mosquiton- Part Two
"That's right. We have come to serve Master Alaho on his 70th birthday, as is the tradition!" the male explained.
"I'm familiar with the tradition." Honoo scoffed, arms crossed "But why would ANYONE choose little brother as a master?"
"Hey! What do you mean by that?" Alaho flashed a pair of angry eyes at the fire child "I think I'd make a pretty good master! I could certainly be less wimpy than dad!"
Almost seconds after he was spoken of, Mosquiton emerged from the bathroom a towel wrapped about his waist.
"I heard alot of yelling!" Mosquiton exclaimed worriedly " Is something wr--aaah! Who are they?!"
A single pale finger was pointed at Alaho's servants and a questioning glance was thrown towards Yuki and Honoo.
"They're little brother Alaho's servants!" Yuki trumpeted "I guess we were so preoccupied with all the problems going on, we forgot they'd arrive this birthday!"
"Wow! This is awesome!" Alaho cheered "Hey, chick with the flowers in her hair, get me a soda wouldja?"
"Okay!" replied the flowery blond girl in a singsong tone, and was about to do just that when the boy in the lab coat threw an arm in front of her to stop her progress.
"Not so fast Hana. Soda does not contain enough nutrients to be a beneficial breakfast for master!"
"Wha?" Alaho tilted his head to the side "I thought you were my servants, aren't you supposed to follow my every command?"
"Indeed. But your well being comes first!" the male offered before bowing to Alaho "By the way, I am Doubutsu, and the girl is Hana."
"Like, hi and stuff!" Hana waved with a blush.
Doubutsu continued "I have power over animals, while she controls plants."
Mosquiton had been silent due to shock up until this point, but he finally barged in "Now wait just a minute! We haven't got the means to support two more people here! We barely have enough food or space for the four of us!"
"That is not a problem." Doubutsu calmly raised a hand "I have calculated very carefully the exact amount of food and space Hana and I will require, and we shall go out seeking ways to earn an income in your world right away!"
The four residents of the apartment simply blinked in amazement.
"Woah dad, my servants aren't only more stylish than yours... they're smarter too!" Alaho boasted, smiling in an obnoxious manner at his father.
"I wouldn't speak so soon, little brother." Honoo smirked, gesturing towards Hana as she stared at the oven with great interest, a finger slowly going to touch the rings on top still red waiting to cook the pancake batter.
"Hey uh gir-- erm, Hana.. I wouldn't tou-" he spoke quickly to the girl.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" screeched Hana, clutching her burnt finger and running about the kitchen like a woman possessed "It bit meeeeeee! How did it bite me with no teeth?"
A large sweatdrop formed atop Doubutsu's head "I must warn you, my associate isn't nearly as learned as I."
"No kidding." Yuki, Honoo, Mosquiton and Alaho all sighed in unison.
"Yuki, get some ice for the poor girl's finger." Mosquiton directed tiredly even though he'd just awoken "I'll be taking a nice, long, hot shower... something tells me it's gonna be a long day."
------
Alaho didn't really care how his servants acted. As the vampire equivalent of a power hungry 13 year old, having any being created to do only as you command is a thing of beauty. Well, sometimes...
"Eeecch! I thought I was having chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast!" Alaho gagged at the odd mush Doubutsu had placed in front of him.
"Chocolate chip pancakes are full of fat. I've prepared you a breakfast of the highest nutritional content. You will be ready to tackle anything today, master!" Doubutsu proudly states.
"Yuki, Honoo..." Alaho looked desperately at his father's guardians who HAD been in the process of making him his favorite birthday breakfast.
"Oh no little brother, don't let us stop you from the wonderful work of your servant!" grinned Honoo devilishly "I'm sure it's much tastier than what we were making."
"Are you guys like, blind or what?" blanched Hana "That stuff is G-R-A-S-S gross!"
"But that spells--" Yuki starts but then shrugs "What's the use?"
"Flavor shouldn't come first against nutrition!" Doubutsu said forcefully "The body is a temple! Eat up master!"
Mosquiton looked upon his son with pity. This was a mirror image of a certain dinner with Inaho (see OVA episode 4). At least Alaho didn't risk getting beaten to a bloody pulp if he didn't consume the sludge. Although he knew his son's pride was too large to admit his servants had their flaws, and they'd only been in his life a half hour!
Raising a spoonful of the repulsive concotion to his lips, Alaho gulped loudly and quickly shoveled the slop into his mouth. It stayed in exactly two point nine seconds before being spat out.
"That tasted HORRIBLE!" Alaho screeched, "Doubutsu, I don't want you cooking for me EVER again."
Shaking his head in dissapointment and clicking his tongue Doubutsu replied, "As you wish, master. However my cooking would have made you healthy, strong and maybe even a little smarter too! Fish is brain food you know."
"There was fish in that?!" the teenaged part vampire cried "What kind of weirdo eats fish for breakfast?"
"An intellegent one." Doubutsu insisted.
Mosquiton looked at the clock on the microwave and suggested "You know, maybe we should just forget about breakfast today, I have something special lined up for your birthday Alaho!"
"I think this birthday has become special enough." Alaho quietly commented as he scraped the remains of the breakfast Doubutsu had prepared into the trash.
"Ah ah ah, just get ready and we'll meet you at the car." Mosquiton smiled, exiting the apartment with Honoo and Yuki in tow.
With a loud sigh Alaho turned to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth, comb his hair, and throw on some clean clothes (he showered at night) when he became aware that he was being followed. He turned around to glare at Doubutsu and Hana.
"Uh, can I help you?"
"Like, we're your guardians, we're supposed to stay with you!" Hana reminded him with an overly friendly grin.
"Not into the bathroom!" growled Alaho, slamming the door to the bathroom behind him.
"Well we are new to this occupation." Doubutsu snorted, "We will make mistakes!"
------
Mosquiton tapped with slight impatience upon the steering wheel of his car, eyes wandering every so often to the door to the apartment building. Yuki and Honoo sat in the back seat of the old station wagon, also looking quite sick of waiting.
"He takes so long to get ready!" Mosquiton finally broke the silence "I was sure I had a teenage SON, not a teenage DAUGHTER."
"Just like momma Inaho." Yuki chimed in tiredly, leaning against the window.
Chuckling slightly Mosquiton nodded "Yup. She also used up all the warm water and always left pools of water on the floor. Inaho was so messy...."
His voice drifted off as his eyes seemed to look at something only he could see, and after quite a long time of quiet he added ".... I sure miss her though."
"I don't see why master." Honoo sneered "Little brother is the perfect double for her. So selfish and uncaring of others."
"I can't understand why though!" Yuki shook her head "It's not like momma ever spent nearly as much time with him as Mosquiton! You were more of a mother to him than she was!"
Once more the older part vampire slipped into a memory. This one of Alaho as an infant, and how much time they'd spent together. It was he that did all of the diaper changing and got up all hours of the night to give him a bottle. He was also the one who held the child the most, and did most of the reading of bedtime stories and other such duties. It wasn't that Inaho didn't love Alaho, far from it. Mosquiton knew by the sparkle in her eyes every time she looked at their son that she adored him with all of her heart. She just really wasn't the maternal type. However it was Inaho that Alaho had always seemed more attached to. Whenever he had a problem he went to Inaho first, considering his father only if his mother was not present at the time.
Mosquiton was taken abruptly from his reminiscing by the opening and shutting of the car door beside him. It was Alaho, not looking particularly pleased as Doubutsu and Hana tried to squeeze in beside him.
"In the back!" he commanded, pushing them out the door.
"There's not enough room for FOUR people back here!" Honoo shrieked as Alaho's guardians scooted in beside him.
"Sure there is, just don't breathe." Alaho shot a cocky smile at the fire boy.
"You stup--" Honoo was interrupted by the chicken from Doubutsu's head moving onto his own "ACK! Get your disgusting filthy bird off of me!"
"Shiraha-san is not filthy!" Doubutsu corrected, although he did make a few clucking noises that caused the fowl to return to his noggin.
"Heheh. I'd better start driving before this gets any worse." Mosquiton thought to himself, speeding down the road trying to ignore the sounds of the four guardians in the back seat arguing.
Alaho meanwhile was leaning back in his seat without his seatbelt on, feet propped up lazily on the dashboard.
"Alaho, put your feet down NOW!" Mosquiton squawked in disbelief at his son's lack of manners.
"Okay, okay... sheesh don't burst a capillary dad." Alaho grimaced, placing his feet back down upon the floor.
--------
Alaho filled with dread as they neared a certain ominous building with the words "Big Apple Multiplex" emblazoned on front in light bulbs (only a handful of which worked).
"The theatre? That's my big surprise?" the adolescent looked perturbed towards his father.
Mosquiton's face turned upset at his son's reaction "Well yeah... I used to love seeing scary movies with your mother, but I've been so busy with work lately I haven't gotten to see one. I thought it'd be a nice treat if we saw one together."
"People from school might see us!" Alaho spurted, ducking down as low as he could on the passenger's side and shifting his eyes about nervously.
A few confused blinks later Mosquiton replied, "Why is that bad?"
"You'll embarrass me!" the words escaped Alaho with a venomous tone.
"Oh..." was all Mosquiton said, looking down at his feet and trying to hide the hurt in his eyes.
"That was a HORRIBLE thing to say to the master!" Honoo exploded from the back seat
"I'll say!" Yuki added with just as much anger "Just because Mosquiton isn't self-centered and vain like you, doesn't mean there's anything wrong with him! Your friends are horrid people if they are so judgmental!"
"You have no knowledge of the adolescent hierarchy, do you?" came the snobby voice of Doubutsu.
"Hey, stay out of this!" Honoo snapped, "This is none of your concern!"
"It isn't yours either. It is strictly between master and his father." Doubutsu replied coldly "And seeing as it IS master's birthday, I believe tradition is to follow his wishes."
"You're wrong! Mosquiton wanted to spend time with his son, he loves him!" Yuki butted in "Friends come and go, but a father's love is forever!"
"Yuki, Honoo... I appreciate you sticking up for me but it is Alaho's birthday. We're supposed to do what he wants to do." Mosquiton quietly remarked, taking out his wallet and removing a $20 bill. "This should be enough for 2 child (for Doubutsu and Hana) and 1 adult to get into a movie."
"Master, you can't possib--" Honoo was cut off by Alaho snatching the money and leaving the car, followed quickly by Hana and Doubutsu.
With a loud sigh Mosquiton started up the car once more and headed towards home, trying to concentrate on the road and not on the ache within his heart.
-----
Hana looked back upon the car as it drove off with a bit of worry, she turned to Doubutsu and whispered "Uh, like don't you think that was a little harsh?"
"Hana you know very well that we must support our master. It is why we were created." Doubutsu rebuttled.
"I know but his dad was like only trying to be nice!" Hana frowned.
As they entered the theatre Alaho scanned the posters along the wall advertising the current movies showing.
"Gore Fest 10!" he exclaimed, pointing to a poster with a crazed looking human wielding a chainsaw soaked in blood. "I've been waiting FOREVER for that movie to come out!"
Trying to act pleased but not quite managing to hide a cringe Doubutsu nodded "It does look... exciting master."
"Eew. Can't we see that one instead Alaho?" Hana pleaded, pointing towards a poster of two high-schoolers holding hands beneath a cherry blossom tree with the title 'Summer's Love' "It looks like, totally romantic!"
"Chick flick. You'd have to drag me into the theatre wearing a straight jacket before I'd see that." Alaho pretended to gag "We're going to see Gore Fest 10, now come on let's go get in line!"
After stepping in line and gazing at who was in front of him Alaho's eyes became the size of saucers and he stumbled on some word, simply pointing a finger at the girl a few people ahead of him.
"What is it master, someone you know?" Doubutsu questioned, straining his neck to see whom the boy had gone speechless over.
Finally Alaho was able to say the name, and when he did it was with the greatest awe and admiration "Candy."
"Candy? We're like, not in the snack like Alaho!" Hana observed, pointing towards the 'Tickets' sign.
"He's not talking about food you ditz." snarled Doubutsu before regaining his composure "Candy must be the girl's name."
Gulping loudly Alaho confirmed this "Yeah... Candy is the most popular girl in school. The cutest one too."
The two guardians looked towards this girl who had so captured their master's eye. She had long black hair that was the kind you saw on models, and her cherubic face's most attractive feature were no doubt her glimmering violet eyes. Those same eyes looked at Alaho now as she raised a hand to wave a greeting to him before approaching excitedly.
"Alaho... Alaho Mosquiton?" she looked him over as a bright smile crossed her face "You may not know me but we go to school together!"
Not know HER? Not know Candy? Alaho felt his face grow warm as he tried to find his ability to speak he'd lost "Erm... yeah I know you. Uh, hi."
"Wow it's so cool running into you like this!" she beamed "I know, let's go see a movie together! I was going to see Summer's Love."
Alaho felt like he was going to die of happiness "Yeah, that sounds great!"
"But Alaho, like just a few moments ago you sa-mmpph!" Hana's sentence was put to an end by Doubutsu's hand.
"Who are these two?" Candy asked in a puzzled tone looking over Doubutsu and Hana.
"These are my cousins!*" Alaho lied quickly.
By that time it was Candy's turn to get her tickets, and she told Alaho she'd pay for his, Doubutsu and Hana's tickets if he paid for snacks. Of course being a man in love Alaho simply nodded and grinned like a moron.
"Okay, you go get us some popcorn and I'll go find us a seat!" Candy ordered, shooing Alaho and his guardians off.
Once he had gone to do this Candy headed towards the theatre showing 'Summer's Love' with a very sinister grin on her face and a not-so-innocent cackle.
End of Part 2!
