We pulled up outside of a massive hotel. I stepped out of the truck and
slammed the door behind me my dad doing likewise on the other side.
We glanced at each other over the bonnet and simultaneously wolf whistled, it was pretty impressive . no scratch that . it was AMAZING! The lobby was just as impressive.
We got some funny looks from passer bys . there was me and my dad both dressed in black looking well kinda scruffy and everyone else dressed up to the nines. Even the staff were turning their noses up at us but jeez this place was awesome. apparently Quatre an old friend of my dads was loaded and this was small fry to him . I hope he doesn't turn out to be like these people round here . they are way rude! I mean so what if I'm not dressed in labels and tottering around on high heels looking down my nose at people I'm quite happy staying 5 ft 5 with both feet in sneakers planted solidly on the ground.
I turned around to see my dad looking seriously enraged. this was never good! I jogged back over to hear the snooty looking lady apologising for calling my dad Mrs Maxwell!! Lordy Lord dad was going to have a cow!!
After much apologising we were led off to another room and left at the doors with the knowledge that all the other guests had arrived which did not look so peachy.
Suddenly I was kinda nervous . we were what . half an hour late due to my dads' head banging episode and we looked totally out of place and beyond that set of big doors were a load of my dads old friends with their perfect pilot, wife and son combo.
I glanced over at my dad who looked like he was about to turn and run so I did what any loving daughter would. I plastered a smile on my face grabbed his hand and pushed open the door. 12 sets of eyes glued themselves to my dad and me. He stood beside me gripping my hand.
There was a tense silence . you could hear a pin drop before a blonde guy ran over shouting "Duo!!" man he was my dads age but looked like a 10 year old!
His messy blonde hair fell over his aqua eyes as he furiously pumped my dads hand sporting a 100 kilowatt smile.
His glance came to rest on me. "Hello!! You must be Kairi, I have heard a lot about you god you look just like Duo! This is my son Alvin" at this point I decided I liked the guy .. he had a lot of enthusiasm and made me laugh . his kid looked like a fallen angel but looked kinda pissed off at having to leave his group of friends.
The dads or "pilots" were in one corner, wives in another and kids in a third. My dad was gone now with his little group and I was kinda left just standing there as Alvin had gone back to his group. Cant say I thought much of the little dick . he seemed kinda snotty and spoilt which was weird as his dad was soooo lovely!
Ok I was pissed off now.
My dad had buggered off which I didn't really mind that much as these were his friends but the others could of at least tried to talk to me. Well I was gunna go talk to them whether they wanted me to or not.
I sauntered over and did my customary greeting of a "hey" and a salute something me and my dad shared . cant remember where it originated from and was rewarded with ... silence. Man . tough crowd.
Suddenly a hand was shoved in front of me with a "hey". I glanced up at the boy who had finally given me a break and chucked me a lifeline. He was a bit taller then me but they again who the hell wasn't and had bright blue eyes and a dark shock of hair. He looked kind of stern but as I shook a massive grin came over his face. man was that welcoming but looked strange. He was Heero's son and looked the spit that's why it was so strange to see him smile!
I'de only seen pictures of Heero but he was NEVER smiling. Never ever . not even a little bit.
I thought it was time I introduced my lovely self "My names Kairi and I guess you know I'm Duos daughter me being the only daughter of a pilot and all."
"Yeah I'm Parr . son of Mr death glare Yuy." I laughed at this name I couldn't help myself though I soon shut up when Parr placed his inherited death glare upon me . man that thing was scary!!
"See its no laughing matter!"
said Parr his face covered with his usual grin. The smallest of the boys glared at me which .luckily for him Parr noticed
"Quit it Dawai I don't mind!!"
"She should show respect to you" was the clipped reply.
Jeez. who shoved a stick up his ass! Parr raised an eyebrow at me before introducing the other boy who stood silently, his eyes barely visible through his fringe "This is Beck don't ask me how he can see with his hair like that but he seems to inherited some crazy hair traits from his father over there". He pointed towards a tall silent man with hair covering up one eye. Beside him stood a very cheerful looking woman.
"That's Trowa and Lana Barton. and over there", he pointed to a man with a shock of dark hair like his own and a blonde smiling woman "are my parents Heero and Relena Yuy and the Chinese couple are Wufei and Chiana Chang who are Dawai's parents and erm . Quatre and Elizabeth Winner. Who you already know as Alvin's parents and your dad."
I absorbed this information quickly . before looking over at my dad again. He looked happy but slightly uncomfortable.
The wives had joined the group and he felt alone. "So where's your mum?" Parr's question caught me slightly off guard as I stood watching my father look uncomfortable .they had probably asked him the same question.
"She's erm . I don't know. She left me on my dads doorstep with just a note saying 'this is Kairi your daughter, I'm sorry its better this way. Ever yours Raine' so. well ... I just don't know." I shrugged my shoulders and plastered a smile across my face before glancing over at my dad and watch him copy the shrug and grin combo. sometimes it was scary how alike we were.
