Too big of a mouth for
too little of a conscience
Chapter: Family moment.
So let's recap: I'm going to dance around in a corny dress, my Godmother is cool, my father is a psychic freak, and, oh yes, my best friend is an idiot. That's basically everyone you've met so far. I still don't get how my dad knew I was lying and how come he always comes in the nick of time. But I'll leave that to the piss and moan section I'll have to make after I end this story. I swear the shrink bill will be pilling up after the show ends.
Both I and my father were walking side-by-side without talking beside the river. In my 13 years of life I have never lied to my father and now I did. Even if it was a small lie my father was making me pay big time with the silent treatment.
Hikari: Nice weather we're having today.
Master: ...
Hikari: -nervous- Right...
I said over the horrible silence that filled the gap between us. I could slice the tension between us with a knife. Actually I had to grab my katana and do so since it was getting hard for me to see my father. You know I can't help but want to cut something like bread, ham, and cheese and make a sandwich instead.
Master: Why did you do it?
My father asked making me stop thinking about food. His tone was worst than upset; it was cold and hurt. I had never heard this tone before.
Hikari: Dad...
My father sat on the ground looking at the river. The sun was soon going to set making the sky multicolored. It looked like a painting. So with care I sat beside my father and leaned on him completing such a perfect picture.
Master: You never lied to me and I hope it doesn't happen again.
Hikari: I'm really sorry dad. I just didn't want for you to kill Makoto.
Master: No, I wouldn't.
Hikari: Yes, you would. You made us clean your WHOLE dojo. Do you know what kind of dust trap is that place! We almost die of exhaustion. I swear dad you had to be a Nazi on your past life.
Master: How did you found out? Did K tell you or did you found the special room?
Hikari: Very funny dad. All that Godmother told me was that you're an immature jerk and about that room I don't need to know about mom and your "love" life.
I saw my father turn crimson red making me giggle. He usually had a stern face except when mom was involved.
Master: You're spending way too much time with K. It shows by the fact you lied.
He said hugging me lovingly. The time and place is so peaceful. The lake is calm like a mirror of the heavens. I sighed into the hug as I enjoyed the fact that my relationship with her father was better already. Like I said before: he's a big softy when it comes to me.
But as fast as the moment came it was broken when a bag of groceries fell into his head.
Godmother: What do you mean I lie! I'm a very honest person.
Master: Oh yeah! K, how old you are?
Godmother: I'm 26.
My father snorted making her pissed.
Godmother: Hey, I'm 26... With 10 years of experience. Besides you don't ask women their age. Is like asking men how big their ego is.
"This is my Godmother and Father. I swear they act like little kids on kindergarten when they're together. It's so weird sometimes since when my father is alone he acts so serious and strong, but when my Godmother is around he's a junior high jerk, or if it is my mom he's a teenager with a horrible case of the love bug."
-Would you guys stop it?
"This raven haired woman is my mother; I bet you guys were starting to believe I didn't have one."
Hikari: Mom!
I ran to my mom and glomped her. In exchange my mother gave me some of the grocery bags for me to carry. Jeeze, talk about love.
Mother: Darling would you stop fighting with K and help me?
She said watching their scene. They stared at each other while their auras glowing red. She had the aura of a wild cat while his was a wild dog. Both I and my mother sighed at the usual behavior of both adults. It's amazing when my mom tells me how they didn't used to be like this.
Hikari: The sad thing is that these are my role models, a couple of kids.
I said as we walked home. It was already 15 minutes from the reunion point and they were still at odds with one another. You would think it should be me and Makoto behaving like this.
Mother: Hey guys if you don't knock your behavior I'm going get jealous.
She said joking trying to break their mood. Her voice was young and playful making me join in the fun..
Hikari: Daddy and K sitting in a tree
Mother: K-i-s-s-i-n-g!
Both: I WOULD RATHER BE DEAD!
They both scream at the same time shocking both of us from our song. But after 5 seconds we were out of our shock and busted into a fit of laughter.
Master: I like real woman like the one I married.
Godmother: What are you saying! You're the one who doesn't qualify as a full man.
Master: Oh yeah!
Godmother: Yeah!
Mother: How have you two survived all this years together is beyond my knowledge. Besides you shouldn't say "from this water I won't drink". God only knows if I ever die you two will end up together. And besides I remember the old times...
Godmother: Old and in A LONG time ago. Besides for that to happen now all the men on earth would have to die along with you and I would have to be in some spell. Otherwise the jerk of your husband and me would never get together.
Master: Thank God. I would rather commit seppuku than being with this wench. The only talent you have is to bug the whole male species, especially me.
Godmother: Why you--! You've always been like this! I can't believe how desperate I was to find you cute in my youth.
Master: Shouldn't that be my line.
Godmother: Oh you'll be desperate… for medical attention that is.
Mom: I'm just desperate to get home.
My mom said as we watched my Godmother chase my dad to make him pay. Nothing like a woman scorned, right? At least it seems like that considering how fast my dad run is running away from her. All my mom and I can do is going after them. If we are lucky the white coats of the nut house will help us contain them.
