Chapter 12:
Dilandau punched in the last digit and stood there in silence waiting for someone to pick up. The kitchen was chilled and the sound of the pounding rain hummed throughout the entire house. It was raining so hard you couldn't even see out of the windows.
The phone rang five times before someone answered at the Albatou residence, and finally Sora's gentle and wise voice answered, "Hello?"
"Yo, mom…"
"Dilandau?" He noted that his mother's voice sounded concerned.
"Yea, I um…" Dilandau sat on the island shaking his head. He was searching his brain for the sanity to explain to his mother that her 17-year-old son was sleeping over at a friend's house. And that friend happened to be a girl by the name of Satori. Sure they had used to do it all the time as kids but they were now both matured high-school students. Awkward, very awkward…
Sora's worried voice sounded through the phone with a hint of suspicion, "Dilandau is everything ok?"
Dilandau nearly dropped the phone when he snapped out of his trance, "Uh, yeah mom. Hey, uh, listen. I'm going to be…."
He rested his head on his raised knee and laughed pitifully. Oh how stupid he was going to sound. He sighed and decided what the hell and to just spit it out, "I'm going to be staying over at Satori's house for the night because she didn't want to me to risk riding home in this storm and wrecking or anything…yeah…" He scratched his head awaiting his mother's response.
He cringed when he heard her gag on something, probably a cup of herbal tea she had just taken a sip of.
The coughing subdued and she cleared her throat, "Dilandau, did you say Satori?" Her voice seemed surprised and hopeful.
"Yea, I did, you know, Satori Irerno…" He raised his voice purposely so that Satori could hear him down in the basement, "…That crazy, lunatical girl who is always getting into trouble and is a complete menace to all things living!"
In the basement
Satori, who was currently sitting on the dryer as it was in the process of drying Dilandau's wet clothes while reading a magazine, shouted up from the basement, "HEY! I heard that!"
Back upstairs
Dilandau smirked and hopped up from the island and leaned against the wall beside the door to the basement.
His mother was laughing, "Oh, yes, yes I know who she is. I have no problem with that Dilandau, just remember your manners young man. Do I need to bring over your Godzilla sleeping bag and pajama's Dilly Willy?"
Dilandau sweat dropped, "Ha ha, very funny. No, I think I'm good. She's got me set up in the linen closet."
Sora laughed again, "Very well. I'm so glad to hear she's back, tell her that her and her mother will have to get together with us sometime."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll tell her…"
"Good night Dilandau. Call me if anything comes up darling."
"I will, I will. See ya later mom, good night." With that he hung up the phone and took a long deep sigh.
He got up off the wall and headed downstairs.
Basement
He skipped the last three steps and looked around the basement. White Christmas lights were strung up all around the basement ceiling and the poles. It was a bit odd but it made it look quite cool. It was a pretty big basement with a fish aquarium and office area with another computer to the right.
The black computer had rather interesting Goth/samurai/ dragon items and decorations scattered about the computer stand. He assumed this was Satori's area. On the left side there were two black couches forming a little living room with a black coffee table in front of them and a TV entertainment system against the wall.
He spotted Satori sitting Indian style on top of the dryer flipping through a magazine in the far left corner of the basement. By the washer and dryer there was a rack of detergents and bleaches and whole crap load of other things pertaining to washing clothes and cleaning. There was also a little sewing area.
He smirked and walked over; noticing that in the very center of the basement behind the stairs was a big star he assumed to be made out of a sturdy paper, with all sorts of different sized holes cut in it. Inside of it was a red light bulb that was turned on, and it casted all sorts of different and intriguing shapes of red throughout the basement. Satori had the stereo turned on so the basement was filled with a powerful violin solo that was laced with sorrow.
Satori glanced up briefly as he approached but continued looking through the teen people magazine sitting in her lap. Dilandau sat on top of the table in front of the washer and dryer. He was busy admiring the changes she had undergone during her six years of leave, when his eyes stopped on her left cheek. He felt his stomach drop and he was consumed with a feeling of guilt. Her cheek had turned a tender fleshy red and you could easily make out the shape of a hand. His hand.
He looked away and closed his eyes, his muse chirping, (Dilandau you asshole, how can you protect her when you're the one doing her harm?) He looked back at her with a look of guilt in his eyes, but not before his other muse put it's two cents in, (What are you thinking, she doesn't deserve your concern! Make her suffer for what she did!)
He vanquished his idle thoughts and looked at her like a little child who was in trouble, "Satori, about back there, when I slapped you…"
She didn't look up and just continued reading her magazine, "Yeah, I forgive you. I would've slapped me too. I must have said sorry about 50 times, I would've gotten annoyed. But the good thing is you can at least give a good slap. I was afraid you might have gone all wimpy on me while I was away."
Dilandau stared at her wide-eyed, "I fucking slapped you. It shouldn't have mattered if I was pissed off or annoyed, I shouldn't have done it!" He grabbed his mouth. Man did he just make himself sound like a little goodie goodie catholic boy.
She raised an eyebrow, "All is forgiven, you shouldn't kill yourself over something like that. I've had worse…"
He sighed and laid back on the table, quickly putting a sneer on his face and changing the subject, "I didn't know Kira could sing, let alone sing good as much as she gripes and bitches."
Satori laughed, "Haha, she hasn't been THAT bad has she?"
Dilandau made a puppy dog face, "Yes, I'm afraid it's all true, she picks on me all the time and makes me feel so…insignificant. I go home and cry myself to sleep every night…" He could have hit himself, why was he acting like an idiot? Since when does Dilandau Albatou do puppy faces?
Satori chuckled and hopped up off of the dryer as it finished the load, "And just think of how bad you would miss the griping and bitching if she were to leave."
He glared, "You mean like you…?"
She sighed, "It was an example…"
Satori took out his clothes and folded them. Then chucked them on Dilandau's head.
Dilandau sat up and gathered his clothes off his face, "Yea, I'd miss her… miss pissing her off!" (Psh, me miss Kira, maybe the day I wore pink overalls with rainbow suspenders dancing the dance of the sugar drop fairies…)
Satori shook her head and headed for the stairs, waiting for Dilandau to get there so she could turn off the lights, "Of course you would and you know it." She smiled when she saw him roll his eyes.
Once he had made it to the stairs she shut off the lights, leaving only the blue glow of the fish tank to illuminate the basement. She headed up the stairs with Dilandau following her.
Once Dilandau was up she shut the door and went over to the fridge. She pulled out two peach Stewarts and tossed one to Dilandau, who caught it with the hand that wasn't holding his laundry. She then opened up a cabinet drawer close to the stove and pulled out an opened bag of salsa Doritos, shutting off the kitchen lights before heading upstairs.
Upstairs
Dilandau followed her up the stairs and down the hall into the last bedroom. He sat his clothes on the floor off in a corner and began to examine Satori's room, "Wow, nice room…. who decorated, the local samurai interior designer?" He strode over to her bed and felt its bedspread, "The bed is nice too, but may I ask why it's a queen size? I didn't know you were that kind of girl Satori." He asked accusingly with a sly grin.
Satori sweat dropped and chucked the bag of salsa Doritos at him, "You PERV! If YOU must know, I like to have space. I thrash when I sleep due to nightmares..... so I have less of a chance of waking up on the floor with a queen size."
The phone rang on her nightstand beside her bed and Dilandau picked it up, causing Satori's mouth to open in objection, "Hello?" he asked casually.
Satori rushed over to him and tried to take the phone from him but he held her back, "DILANDAU! Gimme the phone!" she swatted at the hand holding the phone but to no avail was she able to obtain it.
He smirked when he recognized Loreli's voice, "Is this the Irerno residence?" She asked innocently.
Dilandau grinned evilly, "Yes, yes it is."
Loreli was sitting on her bed with the phone and was quite surprised to hear Dilandau's voice, "Um, Dilandau? What are YOU doing at Satori's house?"
She got up off her bed after alphabetizing the last of her cd's, walked over to her cd holder, and put them all back into place. Her room was spacious and had black walls with silver sponge work on them. Her carpet was a tan like color and on her ceiling star constellations were painted in glow in the dark paint. She had a medium sized bed with a pink and black swirly tie dyed bedspread and pillow covers, which currently had a lamb stuffed animal sitting on it. The room had tons of shelves packed with books and manga, and all sorts of posters were all around her room. She had an entertainment center with TV and cd/DVD burner. Her computer was currently playing music from Harry Potter as she plopped down in her neon pink blow up chair with the portable phone glued to her ear awaiting for a response amongst the shouting and sounds of struggling. She looked out her window shaking her head as she could tell Dilandau and Satori were having some sort of conflict over the phone. As to who was winning she had no idea.
5 Minutes Later
Finally after a fierce battle of poking and wrestling, Satori had managed to get the phone from Dilandau, "Sorry about that Loreli, some people can be so immature!" Loreli laughed.
Dilandau was looking over her sword collection as if nothing had happened. He turned around and smirked at her and then returned to snooping.
Satori stuck her tongue out at him and she sat down on her bed, "So, did you want to talk about something…?"
Loreli chuckled, "Yes, after you left the club we figured out what we could do tomorrow. We figured we'd go up to Dren park and spend the day up there and have a picnic. You can bring your pets if you want to as well. It's going to be so much fun! You can come can't you?"
Satori smiled and leaned back against the headboard, "What time should we be there?"
Loreli sniggered, "Oh, I had forgotten Dilandau was there too. Well, about 11:00. You live pretty close, Kira gave us your address and phone number just to let you know."
Satori grinned, "Oh wonderful, now I'll have freaks calling my house all the time."
Loreli huffed, "Of course you will, all of us are freaks."
Satori idly flexed her fingers, "Did you hear anything from Mina and Guimel?"
"Yeah, Guimel, as it would turn out. Had escaped that girl and had locked himself in Viole's car. The guys found him there when they left. Mina called me on my cell asking me to call her mom and tell her she would be home late….That girl can't go one week without sleeping with a guy."
Satori coughed, "Why does this not surprise me." She craned her neck to see what Dilandau was doing to her DVD player.
She eyed him suspiciously as he turned around after having done something and turned on the TV. He leaped onto the bed causing Satori to bounce, and swiftly took the phone away, "What channel?" He demanded.
She growled, "What the hell do you mean what channel?"
He smiled the way a lawyer does when they know they're winning a case, "To watch DVD's woman! Be quick about it unless you want Loreli to think you rude for ignorantly hanging up on her." His smile became an evil one as he threatening hovered his finger a few centimeters from the off button on the phone.
Satori moaned and snagged the remote off of the table beside her bed, hitting the input button once and threw it to Dilandau, "Just push play then stupid fool. And what did you put in if that's not too hard of a question to answer?"
He pushed play and the DVD player hummed as the disk came to life. The screen started to play previews; He slowly opened the Doritos and sat them and his drinkon the ebony little table at the end of her bed. After purposely stalling he finally answered, "Resident Evil."
Satori rolled her eyes and focused back on the phone as Dilandau sat at the edge of the bed, "Ok, we'll be there."
Loreli laughed, "I'll let you go then. See you tomorrow! Bye!"
"Bye."
Satori hung up and put the phone back on the consol. She quickly got up and turned out the lights and then hopped on the bed beside Dilandau.
He took a sip of his drink, "So what's the plans for tomorrow?"
Satori took some Doritos, "They want us to go to the Dren Park and hang out for the day. Have a little picnic and all."
Dilandau rolled his eyes as the feature presentation screen appeared, "Psh, Dren Park? What were they thinking?"
Satori stared at him curiously, "What's wrong? Do you only leave your house after dark?"
He snorted, "As a matter of fact I prefer the dark, I burn easily for your information."
Satori laughed, "Aww, poor baby, don't worry I can lend you some sun screen."
He reached back and sacked her with a pillow, "Shut the fuck up!"
She picked up the pillow and hit him back, "Make me!"
He smirked, "OK!" He grabbed her and started poking her in her very rare ticklish spots, "Revenge for earlier!"
Satori was laughing hysterically, "STOP! STOP! It tickles!" She managed to kick him off the bed, "HAH! I win!"
Dilandau hopped back up on the bed, "Sure, maybe the battle but not the war Irerno."
They both laughed and finished off the chips and drinks trying to watch the movie while sneaking in cheap surprise poke attacks at each other. Eventually their tiredness over took them and they both fell asleep with the drone of the TV in the background.
3:00 In the Morning
Satori woke up from being overly cold. She drowsily reached under her bed and grabbed a blanket, wrapping it around herself. Well Dilandau was cold too so he pulled a part of the blanket over himself. Satori, having a tight deadlock grip on it, was also pulled over with it. It ended up with Satori laying on Dilandau's chest and Dilandau having his arms wrapped around her waist to absorb the warmth of her body and the blanket over them both. Needless to say neither of them were cold anymore.
6:00 in the Morning
Satori's mom had just walked in the door, exhausted and beat. She was now heading up the stairs to her room to get a shower and finally get some sleep. She hadn't gotten a chance to call Satorito let her know that she was going to be really late getting home the other nightso she'd decided to go in and let her know she was back.
She dropped her work stuff off in her room and took off her over coat and high heels. She then crept towards Satori's room and quietly opened her door. She smiled at her daughters sleeping form and silently walked over to her. She noticed that Satori was snoring which was quite odd for her since Satori would only snore when she had a serious cold, and she had seemed finelast morning. She shrugged it off and was right beside her bed when she realized that there was someone else in bed with Satori. Being the protective mother that Tsurina was, she took it the wrong way.
She quickly rushed back to the door and flipped on the lights, and at the top of her lungs screamed, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY DAUGHTER'S ROOM!"
Both Dilandau and Satori abruptly woke up and Dilandau was so startled he ended up falling out of bed. Tsurina was above him in seconds and took him up by the collar of his shirt glaring at him, "What HENTAI things did you do to my daughter you little furosha!"
Dilandau managed to choke out some words in his defense; "I-I didn't do anything to her!"
Satori had finally untangled herself from the mass of covers and ran over to her mother trying to pry Dilandau out of her grip, "Mom! Stop! It's just Dilandau! We must have fallen asleep together watchingthe movie!" Satori pointed over to her TV that was still on.
Her mom was a bit shocked but after processing the evidence, she put him down, "Oh my! I'm sorry Dilandau I thought you were some hentai who had taken advantage of my daughter. I am terribly sorry; my you've grown up into a stunning young man. How's your mother?"
Dilandau was rubbing his throat, "No problem…she's good, and she wanted to get together with you sometime." He was officially freaked out. But then again he had always been afraid of the powerful woman.
Tsurina smiled, "Again I'm sorry for attacking you, I'll go make you two breakfast, then I'm off to bed." She looked over at Satori, "Do you have anything planned for today?"
Satori yawned and scratched her head, "Yeah, we're going up to the park and I'm taking Ururu with me…."
"Alright, I'll be home today. Call if you need anything. I'll go make your breakfasts now."
Dilandau and Satori looked at each other and then followed Tsurina downstairs.
Satori nudged Dilandau and smirked, "My mom almost took you out. Lucky I was there to save you."
"Yeah, yeah…" He rolled his eyes and flicked her in the head. In no time a poke war started once again.
