Chapter 8- Auntie's Will and Taylor's sugar-rush
Little Taylor Hiwatari sat on the couch quietly, just waiting for his dad to pick him up from his little project he was forced to do. Rei was sitting across from him, thinking of a way to strike up a conversation with the 8-year-old.
"So…" Rei decided to break the awkward silence, "what do you like to do? Video games? Reading? Model cars?"
"I enjoy constructing car models," Taylor replied intelligently. "So far, I have built 34 cars by myself. I have 38, but my dad helped me with the first four."
"That's very good, Taylor," Rei praised. "What kind of cars have you built so far?" As they get into the small conversation, Hilary came into the room with three glasses of Kool-Aid.
"How much sugar dos it have in here?" Taylor looked at the purple liquid.
"It's like any normal Kool-Aid, Taylor. It won't bite you." In Taylor's POV of normal, it means about a cup of sugar in the whole pitcher. In Hiromi's POV of normal, it means 3 cups of sugar per glass. Too bad she didn't know that…
"Alright," Taylor took a huge gulp of his drink. As soon as the sugar-infested drink hit his tongue, his heart stopped. His icy-colored pupils shrunk to the size of pea seeds, and he began to shake severely. His head dropped to his shoulders and stared out into space.
"Taylor? TAYLOR!" Rei grabbed onto the boy in attempt to stop him from shaking. "Call Tala and the hospital!" Hiromi rushed to phone Tala as quickly as she could.
But it was too late.
Little Taylor was gone.
That's right… gone…
He has caught the deadly case…
Of an extreme sugar-rush. (Lil Bre- Haha got you!)
"SUGAR!" Taylor shrieked at the top of his lungs and began to run around the house.
"Taylor! Come back, Taylor! Taylor!" Rei attempted to catch the child with no avail. Hiromi waited patiently for Tala to pick up his stupid cell phone as she heard something break in the living room.
"Hello?" Tala's voice came through.
"Tala! What's wrong with Taylor! I gave him some Kool-Aid and he's shaking and budging out! Did I do something wrong?"
"Shaking? Uh-oh…"
"UH-OH! YOU'RE SON MIGHT BE DYING AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'UH-OH'!"
"He's not dying, Hiromi… I totally forgot to tell you that he's not allow to consume sugar. He'd go ballistic! Just make sure he stays in the house and doesn't touch any sharp objects. I gotta go, later." Tala hung up on the other line. She ran back into the living and found it in ruins.
"Oh…. my… god…" She put her hands on her cheeks and made a 'Home Alone' face. "Rei!" She called out to her fiancée. "Tala said to make sure that he doesn't leave the house and WHERE IS HE!" Hiromi gazed at her house and it was in ruins. The couch pillows were shredded to pieces, the curtains disappeared, the T.V. was knocked to the floor, her husband was looking in a closet with half his clothes torn off, and every single piece of Taylor's clothing were lying in random directions.
"I dunno! That boy can run like a mother-"
"Shut your mouth!"
"What!"
"As long as he isn't outside then…" The couple stopped and heard a car start. "Please don't tell me…" Their eyes widen in fear as they witnessed Rei's car being backed out of the driveway by a nude Taylor Hiwatari.
"He somehow took my keys out my pocket…" Rei checks his pockets and found them empty. "… and he took my wallet!"
"WE HAVE TO GO GET HIM!" Rei agreed and they both ran out the house.

Meanwhile, Tala hung up his phone after talking with Hiromi. He, Kai, Mariah, their mother, and General Wong (Mariah's father) were in the living discussing Auntie's recent death.
"What happened?" Kai stares at his brother.
"Taylor got a hold of some sugar is all," Tala replied as he laid back into his seat.
"And you forgot to tell them?" Kathy exclaimed shocked. "Kai I'm able to understand, but I thought you had more common sense than that, Tala."
"Hey-" Kai stopped his sentence when Mariah began to scratch his head and calmed him down.
"Can we continue on with this funeral thing, please?" Mariah suggests.
"Well, my grandmother sent me a copy of Auntie's will and I'm quite surprised that Kai's name is kinda in the will," Kathy explained as she held a couple pieces of paper.
"What do you mean 'kinda'?" General Wong rose an eyebrow.
"Well, instead of his name, she dubbed him 'That-stupid-nephew-I-shunned-at-birth-because-he's-half-Japanese'." Silence fell on the house. Five minutes has passed and no one has said a word until Kai spoke up.
"Good thing she's dead, too."
"KAI!" Mariah scolded.
"What? You didn't like her either!"
"That's true."
"Mariah!" Mariah's father yelled. "That's not that way to talk to the dead!"
"You didn't like her either, daddy!" Mariah accused.
"Of course I did! Gerneal Wong replied defensively. "Last Christmas she knitted me that nice sweater."
"Not that Auntie, General!" Tala hesitantly correcting the war-hero.
"Are you saying that I'm wrong, soldier?" General Wong rose from his seat and stood tall over the redhead. Tala just sat there stiffly and began to shake.
"Daddy! He's right! You're talking about the wrong Auntie," Mariah took her father's arm and put him back in his seat. "The Auntie that died is the Auntie that kicked you in the shin at my wedding reception and said 'Screw the Chinese army!' and threw shrimp at your face."
"That's woman!" He yelled. He sat back down in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "I hope earthworms eat her eyeballs."
"Can we please continue with the will, please?" Kathy interrupted the conversation. The four adults fell silent and continued to listen to Mrs. Hiwatari discuss the will.
Meanwhile…
"How does an 8-year-old child learn how to drive a stick-shift that well!" Rei exclaimed as he and Hiromi followed the speeding Taylor in Hiromi's car. They're currently in the next city still tailing the hyper child behind the wheel. "It took me 2 tries to actually get my license!"
"Oh, Tala's going to kill us if Taylor crashes…" Hiromi said worried.
"I'm going to kill Taylor if he wrecks my car and lives!" Hiromi slaps Rei in the back of the head. "Look, he's slowing down!" Indeed, Taylor was slowing to a stop on the side of the dirt road they've been traveling on for half an hour. Rei pulled over behind the car and stopped. He and Hiromi went towards the car and peaked through the window. Taylor was fast asleep in the driver's seat. His head was on the horn, which was blaring and he was drooling on the steering wheel.
"Finally, this is little adventure is over!" Rei opened the unlocked door and took the keys out of the ignition. Hiromi unbuckled the icy-eyed child and carried him back to her car. "Should we tell Tala about this? I mean, Taylor might get in trouble for this instead of us. We did give him sugar when he wasn't suppose to have it…"
"Nah, it'll be alright. We'll just tell Tala that he just ran around the living room until the sugar-rush wore off," Hiromi laughed at the silly question. She placed Taylor in the backseat and fastened his seatbelt.
"Yeah. And besides, it would be your fault because you always put too much of anything in everything," Rei joked. Being Hiromi, she didn't take that lightly. She started her car up, ran over Rei and bumped into his car, damaging his back bumper. She backed up over Rei once more before turning around to head back home.
"Ow…"
Back to the will
"…. And to my nephew-whom-I-shunned-at-birth-because-your-father-was-a-stinking-Jap," Kathy finally found Kai's "name" in the will, which was at the very bottom of the page. Kai's eye began to twitch as she continued to insult him after her death. "I apologize for calling a stupid Halfa, even though you are a lousy stinking Halfa. And now, your daughter is a stinking One-Thirda because of decided to marry a Chint." Mariah's knuckles cracked and uncracked as her late aunt-in-law continue to insult HER after her death.
"You should have married a Russian, that would have at LEAST made you like you againI would like to leave you in your name…" Kathy paused and her jaw drops.
"Well, what is it?" Kai urged on. "Don't leave us in the dark!"
"Twenty dollars and a 3-year supply of crawfish." The room fell silent for a long pause.
"That's it?" Tala simply asks. She just nodded. "THAT'S IT!"
"Yes Tala, that's all. Wait a second…" She looks closer at the will. "I also leave my stepnephew, Tala, $12,000 and my priceless white pearls because he ain't a lousy Halfa."
"Cool!" Tala pumped his fists in the air. He gave his little brother a smirk and said, "I guess she just put you in the will to insult your whole way of life, you Halfa."
"Why you little," Kai jumped Tala and began choking him like a Homer Simpson would do to Bart. General Wong pried Kai off the redhead.
"I should go pick up Taylor," Tala got his voice back and rose from his seat off the ground.
"I should go bash my head in with a brick," Kai said as anime tears floated down his eyes as he left the room.
"I'll go make dinner," Kathy got up and went to the kitchen.
