Chapter Six: Recovered Memories"Explain it again," a young man repeated, "you lost me in the middle."
"Yahiko!" another young man yelled. "She's not repeating again!" he hit Yahiko, over the head with his hand.
"Jin, you dumb ass!" Yahiko yelled rubbing the side of his head. "Loki, come on, please?"
I should explain why I'm in a dorm with two guys. Here it goes; hopefully I won't lose you too. Yahiko Wain, is one of my best guy friends, he's Claus' roommate. He's an okay guy and he has black short hair and green eyes. He's tough but he doesn't show it.
Jin Hursti is another one of my guy friends, he's also another of Claus' roommate. He's smart, and acts tough. To tell you the truth he's a player. The girls in this school say they love his brown eyes. Others say it's his brown down-to-the-shoulders hair. I really don't know.
I looked at the doorway it was open no one bothered to close the door. I looked at both hoping they would get a clue by what I was staring at. Though no one closed the door. 'Oh, well.' I thought as I sighed. The three of us were sitting next to Claus bed.
Anyway, I was knocked out for three, when I came here. The last month I was awake but never came out of the nurse's office. Those whole three months I recovered my memories. I'm the daughter of two mob leaders, Yuri and Seruma Ayo.
"Okay I'll explain it again. " I said pulling out an enormous picture from a brown suitcase. It was resting on Claus bed. "Here I am," I pointed to a small girl, who had her arm around a boy her age. The picture was in black and white, so my hair was sort of shaded. The funny thing is everyone was wearing black in the photograph. I was wearing a black dress with a black jazz hat, a feather stuck out of it.
"Okay." Yahiko said attentively. "So who is the little boy next to you?" he pointed at the picture.
"That is Maurice Giloi," I said. Maurice was an adopted child, but is considered to be part of the Shacoff family. My mother Seruma Ayo controls the Shacoff family/mob. Maurice by the memories I have of him was my favorite cousin. In the picture he gave a big smile, he was wearing a small black suite, and a jazz hat, too. He made bunny ears at another small girl that stood next to him, "my cousin."
"Hmm," he pointed to the girl with the bunny ears.
"That is Anna Ayo," she was the girl wearing a black dress, with no hat. I remember her too, she had brown hair and light green eyes, and she loved to joke around. "Another cousin, her parents died in a gun fight during a job."
"Then who's the boy on your left?" he stared at a boy that was somewhat taller than I was.
"His name is Marx Ayo," I laughed a bit at the black headed boy. He was wearing a black suit. From what I remember he had blue eyes. He was the son of my father's second brother. "My other cousin. He once messed around with Anna's toy set, and there was a small War World III with the two of them."
"What about this guy, the one standing behind Marx?"
"That's Marik Ayo," he was my father's second oldest brother. Marx was his spitting image; they were so much alike. "He my dad's brother, he's two years older than him. The two who are standing in back of me are my mother and father," my mother had long red hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a black dress, and some pretty earrings. The man next to her was my father. He was the leader of the Ayo family/mob, and things ran smoothly with the two mobs. My father had jet-black messy hair, in way he looked like Maurice's dad. "The man next to my dad was his oldest brother Jacius," to tell you the truth him and his brother's all looked alike. "The ones that are standing next to the side, are the one's who work in the mob. The Ayo and Shacoff family became the most feared mob in all the land. I was there right by my family, especially when I helped carry out the plan of the Claudia heist. My cousins and I helped, though mother was furious at all of us, but father was proud. I would pick-pocket people."
"I get it now!" Yahiko felt proud. He then gave me a puzzled stare. "Though, the government said about four years ago the heir to that mob died. How did you-"
"They lied," Jin butted in, "Loki and her soon to be mob, along with the family moved underground. An agent found their hideout, and with no traces, they decided to say the Ayo family and Shacoff family died."
"Someone had drugged me, so I wouldn't find out about the mob." I looked at my family picture. "Hey, Jin?"
"What's up?" Jin was probably fixing his hair.
"Tell Alex," that was Jin's little brother. He's a freshman here, "that I said thanks for my picture."
"It wasn't easy," Jin said taking the picture out of my hands. "It was hard to get, with the bribing and so finally he decided to steal it from the old man. He does deserve a thanks."
"So you gonna' tell Claus and Lavie?" Yahiko got up and flopped onto his bed.
"No, I'm not. Don't tell got it guys?"
"You're not gonna tell me what?" a voice was heard from the doorway.
The three of us scrambled to get from where we were, and tired to cover the enormous picture from Claus' sight. Yahiko fell off his bed crawling really fast to sit next to me. Jin was sitting in back of me, so he had it. He chucked it under Claus' bed. We were all truly in the 'bocca del leon' which was Italian for the lion's mouth. It was dangerous move, so now I had lie and fast.
"Nothing!" I said giving a fake smile. "What are you doing here? I thought you still had your classes!"
"They were over two hours ago." Claus said walking towards his bed.
'No, don't sit!' my mind was racing. I didn't want Claus to find who I really was. I looked at Yahiko but he was staring at the bed. 'God, help me!' Then, Jin read my mind he got up and sat on Claus' bed. 'Whew,' I thought my heart was still racing.
"Hey you guys," Claus yawned, "would you mind if I borrowed Loki for a couple of minutes? I have to tell her something."
Yahiko stood up and pulled Jin into a corner of the room. I looked at them, puzzled. They were making a plan. 'You guys,' they truly would good guys you could say. "Yahiko and Jin then walked over to Claus and they both answered.
"No you may not borrow her." Yahiko said looking at Claus with serious eyes.
"I was just leaving." I quickly added. I moved quickly and grabbed the photograph and the brown suitcase. Jin was helping me along the way.
"Hey what's that you have in your hand?" Claus shifted a bit to get a good look. "Whose is it? The photograph, I mean."
"Run, Loki! Run!" Yahiko said jumping Claus. He then put Claus in a headlock. "Go!"
"Ack!" Claus tried to get out of the headlock. "Yahiko, you bastard, let me go!"
Jin helped Yahiko, but they knocked out Claus in the process. "You think he'll kick our ass?" Jin asked lifting Claus to his bed.
"I doubt it, he isn't much of a fighter." I laughed it was true. He wasn't much; he was pretty weak.
I heard a pair of footsteps, coming into the room. She was singing 'What We're All About' by Sum 41, and suddenly stopped. There was a tug on my uniform sweater.
"What happened to Claus?" it was Alvis asked worried about the blonde.
"Nothing," I lied. "He fell."
"Hey, Loki," I turned to face Yahiko, "you gonna' tell Alvis?"
"I might as well." I sighed sitting on the floor. "Alivs, dear I have something very important to tell you. I'm not who you think I am."
"Eh?" Alvis pulled up a chair and sat across from me. "What do you mean?"
"She's the heir to a mob." Yahiko said walking to the coffee table.
"What?!" Alvis yelled. I swear the dorm shook. "No! That can't be! Loki's to good to be an heir to a mob!"
Alvis read about my family's mob, in her history book. They gave a bad reputation about my family. It was horrible.
I explained to Alvis calmly about my family and the role I played. I never told you this but I found the box, 'Exile' in one of the ships we pulled the heist off of. I kept it hidden, and soon my parents found it. It was then stolen. When I was done Alvis began to cry, imagine your best friend having this secret, and someone told that the family your friend had was evil. I was proud of who I was.
"Alvis," I tried to pat her head, "I'm sorry."
"I won't tell." She said in-between sobs. "Who else knows?"
"Just these two, you, and Dio." I looked away. "Dio was the first one to find out."
I looked at Claus and started to cry uncontrollably. I buried my head into my hands and cried. It would be hard to tell Claus and Lavie. I was scared if someone told them, though I want them to accept who I am.
"You guys," I said drying my tears. "In the next month I'll look for my family. You can if you want. I've also decided to tell Lavie and Claus. The three of you can tell them, but no one else."
"No one else will believe us." Yahiko said eating a pastry.
It was true. No one else would.
"Hey, you guys why did think Claus wanted to speak with me?" I said changing the subject.
"It is obvious kid," Jin said messing up my hair. "I thought you were smart."
