My earliest memory is of my mother taking me to the mall. We ate
lunch in a charmingly overpriced café after a shopping spree where she
bought two fabulous dresses. She was always very well dressed; my father's
pension kept her adorned and looking as gorgeous as possible. I guess after
being on the run for so long she decided to enjoy her status as a trophy
mistress.
I digress. We were sitting at a café and she was looking at the other men. We sat for hours as she pointed out which ones had the most money, which were the best dressed, had the best hair, etc.
When we left we walked past some women, members of a proper societal world my mother has never been comfortable with. They smiled at her in the nasty way women tend to do and asked her how her lover was. How hard it must be when the father never proposed and the child was so difficult. Of course, she had it much easier since his pension, paid for by hard working Jurains, kept her better clothed and fed than most unwed mothers. Tell us again please, where are you originally from? And, don't you have the same name as that demon Ryoko?
I sometimes wonder how those hags would have reacted had she told them she was the demon Ryoko. That she had all but destroyed Jurai under the tutelage of Kagato.
As we left the mall she told me that all women were catty hags. Now she wonders why I like men.
I never saw my father stray. My mother was not unfaithful, she looked but never touched, but my father never so much as glanced at a porno magazine. The differences between men and women never cease to amaze me.
Now I'm left with the question: why did he marry her? He's a Knight of Jurai. He personally guarded the Queen Ayeka and the Princess Sasami. He's got connections on every level of the Jurain government. Granted, that's been blown to hell by the Orikans, but all the same.......he could have any fucking bitch he wanted.
He chooses my mother. I don't understand it. How is my father such a damned fool?
I spill my soul out on my webpage that night. I'm pretty sure Washu visits but I don't care. My webcam was not made for the weak of heart, pregnant, or anybody out of adolescence and I'm not going to censor myself just because my grandmother might be watching. If she wants to hear all the explicit details of my sexual exploits she's welcome to 'em.
My hits scored a record high when I began cutting myself live. That number doubled when I used my hand as an ashtray. I could have made a fortune if my father hadn't found out. Some genius sent him an e-mail with screen shots and the first thing he did was take away my computer and laptop. The second thing he did was take off his belt and make damn sure my ass would too sore to sit in front of a computer. Then he made me go to counseling.
Thankfully, I wasn't forced to go through with that. The Orikans attacked and Jurai was sort of screwed over. I was able to pick the lock on the cabinet and get my laptop while he was gone and when Mother Dear showed up I took it with me into space.
Nobody's visiting my website now, which is understandable. The planet is under siege after all. I spill out all my teenage angst, flame Littlebird88, and leave it at that.
Some days later and we still don't have a plan on what to do. The Jurain Liberation Movement rejected us on the grounds that we're snobby loyalists whose interests lie with the Crown, which is true, and now we're holed up in a 'Happy Hotel' waiting for Queen Ayeka's orders.
They come soon enough, along with her son and some bimbo from the Galaxy Police.
"I know you...."
"Oh?" I actually quit hitting on Ame for a moment; if my webcam has attracted such a celebrity I wanna know. Might come in handy.
"You're that bastard from the webcam!"
"Yup." I'm curious as to why this dip would have reason to call me a bastard.
"I'm Littlebird88!"
"Interesting." Vengeance will be mine. This little prude is going to wish he'd never logged on.
"Wait......you really are the son of Ryoko and Kamidake?"
"Uh, yeah." This fool is so on my hit list of people to harass. He stares at me for a full minute while I light up a cigarette. He's clearly in shock and embarrassed and I don't intend to make him feel any better. I stare right back. It's only when Ame clears his throat that I get the idea to use him in my newly declared war.
Too bad he doesn't want to cooperate; he is a sexy beast and watching him flail around trying to get me off his back is unbelievably hilarious. To put the cherry on the ice cream Prince Yabu's eyes look ready to pop out of his head. Truly priceless.
Then that damn girl, Lady Achika, walks in the room babbling about how the adults want us. She immediately starts squealing about 'yaoi' and all of a sudden my sexual orientation is turned into her outlet for her obvious lack of sexual activity. I leave the room by phasing through the walls, more to scare everybody than because it's easy, and make my way towards the common room.
The bimbo from the police is there and once everyone else shows up she immediately launches an explanation of why she and the little prince are here. She introduces herself as Mihoshi to those of us under eighteen and warmly greets everybody else. Apparently she spent time on Earth with Lord Tenchi.
I swear, that man must have been some kind of pimp or something.
Once Mihoshi's finished introducing herself she goes into an explanation of why she and the prince have come. Queen Ayeka believes that her remaining son would be safer on a planet under siege by an empire that wants him dead. It seems the e-mails we sent to her regarding the situation have either been ignored or intercepted.
Further orders from the Queen involve starting our own movement. "Seek out loyal Jurains who are willing to fight back at the Orikans and organize them into an army." Excuse me, but wasn't our regular military kinda, y'know, destroyed? Someone please enlighten me on how a bunch of beaten down, untrained civilians are gonna send the Orikan Empire packing?
Whatever. We find rooms for the two of them and I make a mental note to follow in my mother's footsteps in torturing the royal family of Jurai. I postpone my fun for tonight however, and go off in search of Ryoko's alcohol stash. Kamidake's been after her to stop drinking but I know for a fact that she's got some loot hidden in some corners of the hotel. I locate some, find my own hiding place and start chugging and singing a few verses of 'I'm the only gay Eskimo'. Damn good song.
"That's mine, y'know." Oh, hi Mom. Didn't hear you sneak up on me.
"Kamidake told you to stop drinkin'..."
"And I have. I've stopped doing a lot of stuff." Sure you have.
"So you're going legit now?"
"Yes!" I bet.
"See how long this lasts."
She slaps me and it takes a minute before I register what happened. She's never done that before and it surprises me. I guess it surprises her too because she gets this really hurt look on her face before flying off to wherever.
I decide I don't care about what just happened so I finish off the sake and head for bed. Not that I really need to sleep all that often, but what the hell.
I wake up to the smell of smoke. The stupid hotel's on fire and I hear screaming. I phase through a few walls and get Hana-chan, the little girl Ryoko rescued. I carry her through before I come across Mihoshi. I drag the two along outside and go back in.
Ryoko's taking care of Lord Tenchi and Ame. Kamidake's dragging Prince Yabu and Lady Achika towards the door. They start shouting for me to get the hell out and we all make our way to the door.
When we exit the hotel there's a second when I wish we hadn't.
What seems to be the entire Orikan Imperial Fleet is waiting for us.
Author's notes- This is the first original character I've given a spotlight too and I hope it turned out alright. I tried very hard not to make him a Maurice-Stu. I hope the part about him cutting and burning himself wasn't too overdone. He's somewhat disturbed if you haven't figured it out.
****Hands out cake and brownies to all reviewers.**** I love you all.
