The Legacy
Part 5
A New Home
By Hikari Roivas
Ms. Takashi paced the floor of her apartment unsteadily, her son T.K. sitting upright in a chair, watching his mother. The police had just left and she was getting even more worried by the moment. T.K. had never seen his mother look so nervous before.
Suddenly, they both heard a crash coming from Matt's room. T.K. and his mother ran full speed to Matt's room. They both froze as they entered the room, seeing a very strange sight.
Six figures, most of them looking rugged-looking, were standing in the darkened room. Four of them were unknown to both Ms. Takashi or T.K., however, two of them were very familiar; Matt and, as T.K. referred to him as, the "bad person."
"Matt!" Ms. Takashi yelled, running towards her son.
"Matt!" T.K. yelled, running towards his brother. "Get away from him, you!. Don't hurt my brother!"
"T.K.!" Matt yelled. "It's alright. He's not going to hurt us."
"Yes he is. I know he is!" T.K. was close to tears now. "He's going to do to us just like he did to Daddy!"
"No, T.K., I'm not." the darkened figure said. "I promise you that I'm not going to hurt you."
Ms. Takashi looked past Matt and Chris at the other darkened figures. Two boys and two girls were standing there, looking extremely nervous. They had average-looking skin and dark hair. All but one. The last one, a girl, was obviously an Albino. She had pure, bright, white skin with white hair of the same color. Her eyes were dark pink with black irises. She looked even more nervous than the rest of them.
"Hello," Ms. Takashi said to them. "Who are you, there?"
"Mom," Chris began. "I'm like you to meet my family."
"Your what?" Ms. Takashi asked very, very slowly.
"My family." Chris stated in a more firm tone of voice. "The family I grew up with for almost my entire life. The family that I love with all my heart."
At these words, the Albino girl moved closer to Chris and he put his arm around her in a protective way. His mother looked at him in a strange way, then continued.
"Well, are you staying here from now on, son?" Ms. Takashi asked slowly, as if she were thinking about what her response to his answer would be.
"Only if they can stay too, Mom." Chris said. "I promise you, they are very kind and they won't steal anything from you. Besides," and at this he pulled the Albino girl closer to him, "I love them, in one way or another."
Ms. Takashi thought for a moment, then smiled. T.K. wasn't liking the way his mom was smiling.
"Well, Chris, I'll take your word for it." And with that, Ms. Takashi stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Jaina, the Albino girl, Chris' true love. The other three looked much more relaxed and relieved at this. Matt was looking more happier than he had been looking in a long time. Chris was close to tears. T.K., on the other hand, was in shock.
"Mom, how could you!?!" he cried.
"What do you mean, T.K.?" Ms. Takashi said in a confused tone.
"How could you bring him and those people into our home?" he said, pointing at Chris, Jaina, and the others. "Especially her, she's scaring me." He said, pointing straight at Jaina.
Jaina blinked. It's my coloring, she thought, tears springing to her eyes. It's me; it's who I am. Jaina couldn't hold it in anymore.
Jaina broke down in Chris' arms.
Chris was looking absolutely livid at T.K. He was so mad that he was shaking with rage.
"How dare you, T.K.? How dare you?" he said. "Jaina's one of the nicest people I know, and you dare to say that about her."
T.K. was smart enough to realize that he had said something that shouldn't have.
"I'm sorry," he said, "but I've never seen anyone like her before."
Jaina smiled.
"it's alright. I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt me."
"No, I wasn't. I'm sorry." T.K. said in that annoyingly cute little kid voice.
Ms. Takashi smiled. "Fine, Chris. It'll be a little cramped at first, but they can all stay.
Ms. Takashi turned to Jaina, Jacen, Theresa, and Zeke.
"Welcome home."
As the magnitude of what Ms. Takashi was saying sunk in, Jaina was so overwhelmed that she planted a kiss right of Chris' lips.
He turned crimson with embarrassment and content.and love.
