Summary- Voltaire is the Devil. Hitoshi and Kai are his grandsons. Voltaire has to retire and is handing over Hell to Hitoshi. The catch is, Hitoshi has to find a mate so he can have other heirs when he has to retire. He meets Shahero, a normal twenty-one year old girl with a sharp tongue and a fiery temper. Hitoshi goes to Earth in human form to try to find a mate and he has his eyes set on Shahero, the only girl who wouldn't fall for him. He is determined to make her his.
Chapter 6- Ride"Damn dis blows. Wha da hell am I supposed ta do witout me detention buddy?" Russia growled as she walked with Shahero to the airport. Shahero shrugged.
"Don't worry bout it Rush. I'm sure you'll be in detention with Zareth a lot. Chances are one day you'll get caught making out." Shahero smirked as Russia blushed. "And you're one to be complaining. Look what I have to wear!" Shahero motioned to the black skirt and t-shirt she was wearing. She didn't mind the t-shirt it was the skirt that bothered her. It's not that there was anything particularly wrong with it, just that it was a skirt. The t-shirt was a light blue one Miyami had bought at Bluenotes. It was red along the collar and sleeves and had a picture of Hello Kitty on the front. Shahero loved Hello Kitty. It said 'Sticks and stones may break my bones…But you're ugly'. Shahero loved it and thanked Miyami millions of times for it.
The skirt was black, as usual. Miyami knew Shahero loved the colour black, so most of the things she made for her were black. The skirt was cut in an upside down U at the bottom, so the sides were longer then front and back. When Shahero moved, silver and red dragons shimmered into view when the light hit it.
"Why do ya have ta go home anyway?" Russia asked for the millionth time.
"Cause. Dad asked me to. He wouldn't tell me why."
"Does Ams know?"
"Nopers." Shahero grunted as someone bumped into her shoulder hard. "Hey!" She called after the retreating figure. The guy stopped and turned around. "Yeah you. Watch where you're going I'm walking here!"
The guy called back to her, "What?"
Shahero rolled her eyes. "Open your ears jack ass." She snapped. She turned and walked away with Russia trying to stifle her snickers. "Geez, some nerve that ass has." Russia laughed.
"Funny, he's probably thinkin da same ting." Shahero shrugged.
"His fault, not mine." She stated simply. Russia nodded. "Aw, where's Dopey when ya need him? I want some of his dopiness to rub off on me so I can sleep when I get on the plane."
"Ya don't need Hans ta fall asleep on de plane. Ya got Amber." Russia smirked.
"Nah she'll keep me awake with her yapper." Shahero snickered.
"Well excuse me." Amber snapped from behind them. Shahero grinned.
"Hey Ams."
Amber glared at her. "Don't 'hey Ams' me. I heard you."
Shahero sighed. "I'll let ya borrow my Linkin Park CD." Shahero offered.
Amber grinned. "Deal." She agreed happily. "You glad you're going home?"
"Yeah. I can't wait to see Dad. He told me Ricky was there too with his fiancé."
"Oh he's engaged?"
"Uh-huh. He got her pregnant. They already have a kid. It's a boy. They named him Taro."
"Cool name."
"I know. It means first born son."
"So original." Russia muttered. Shahero laughed.
"I know. That's what I said. I suggested Nimrod."
"Nimrod!" Amber exclaimed in astonishment. "Who in their right mind would name their baby Nimrod!" Shahero laughed.
"I found it on some name generator. It's some biblical name that means rebellion."
"You'd think they'd name a rebel some wicked cool name, instead it's basically an insult."
Shahero laughed. "Too true Ams, too true."
"Hey Nimrod!" Amber waved to some imaginary person. Shahero laughed.
"Brooky baby should've been named Nimrod. It would make his life much more of a hell."
"De fun we woulda had." Russia snickered.
"Great fun."
"You asshole!" Three pairs of eyes looked to an ever-growing crowd. They exchanged glances. They knew that voice. It belonged to none other then Arista Beyleav. They pushed their way through the crowd.
"Such language shouldn't come from a lady's mouth." Brooklyn tsked.
"Well what do you expect when you just touched my fucking ass!" Brooklyn licked his lips.
"Ah, but it's a very nice fucking ass." He quipped with a smirk. Arista's navy blue eyes flecked with amber flashed as she growled.
"You're a damned pedophile."
"And an extremely sexy one." He winked.
"Your charms are a bunch of trash. They ain't working."
"Really? Aw that's too bad. I offered you the time of your life."
"More like hell on earth."
Shahero smirked. "Go Ris go!" Arista's eyes snapped to hers and she laughed.
"Go me go." She grinned. She turned on Brooklyn again. "I don't have time for you. I'm here to say goodbye to my friends not be violated by you." Brooklyn wriggled his eyebrows at her.
"I know you liked it."
"You wish." Arista turned and walked over to her friends with a triumphant smirk on her face. "Come on guys. You're gonna be late for your plane." They easily found Bryan who was carrying all of their rug sacks and luggage. A scowl was planted on his face as his pale eyes scanned the room, obviously searching for his little cousins.
"Bryanny!" Shahero shouted as she bounced over to him and threw herself at him. Bryan stumbled backwards from the weight of the girl plus the weight of their bags. Amber was next to throw herself at him and that was enough to send all three of them toppling over. Their bags flew out of his hands and he clutched his cousins close so they wouldn't get hurt. Shahero's arms were flailing and he narrowly missed getting slapped in the face. Amber was too shocked and clutched his arm in a painfully tight hold. He landed on his back with an 'oomph'. Shahero quickly untangled herself from his arm and kneeled by his side.
"Bryan! Are you ok?" Bryan slowly sat up, Amber still clutching his arm and her eyes shut tight.
"You can open your eyes now." Bryan grunted. Amber cracked one eye open and then fully opened her eyes. She let go of Bryan's arm and watched in horror at the marks her nails had left.
"Oh my god! Bryan I'm so sorry." Bryan grunted and nodded as he quickly stood and brushed himself off. They helped him collect their bags. Finally, Shahero burst into laughter. Amber couldn't help but laugh too.
"What are we laughing for?" Amber asked in between fits of laughter.
"I dunno. When I fall I usually laugh so I'm laughin!" Shahero tried to stifle her laughter but was failing miserably.
"Flight number 208 will be leaving in fifteen minutes. I repeat. Flight number 208 will be leaving in fifteen minutes. Please head to the flight entrance with your passports and boarding pass. Thank you and have a good day."
"That's us." Amber sighed. They all turned to their friends who gathered around and gave each of them a hug. Bryan waited patiently for them to finish. Shahero threw her arms around Johnny's shoulders as they embraced each other.
"Don't forget me ya hear?"
"You're only gonna be gone for the weekend."
"Well you'll be mighty busy. Believe me."
"Email me everyday. And call me when you get home."
Shahero nodded. "I will." She let go and slipped back onto her feet. His hand patted her shoulder.
"Take care of yourself."
"Stop worrying about me. You take care of Mimi got it?" Johnny sighed and nodded.
Amber wrapped her arms around Tala's middle as she gave him a huge hug. Tala tousled her hair.
"I'll see ya Benny."
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too. But you're gonna get to see your family and your new one too."
"I know. I'm kinda nervous cause I don't know what anybody on Hero's side will be like. I haven't met Ricky but Hero talks about him a lot and he sounds cool. I think its Ethan who I have to look out for."
"You'll be fine. Think about how Hero must feel. She hasn't met anybody on your side except your mom."
"I told her about Kirby."
"Alright so maybe you guys are sorta on the same page but you have a bigger family then she does." Amber took a deep breath and nodded. She rested her forehead on Tala's chest and mumbled a 'thanks' before pulling away.
"See ya."
"Bye Benny." After everyone had said their goodbyes both girls walked silently to Bryan's side and stared at the floor. Shahero felt torn. Her friends were like her family. She knew she should be happy that she was going home but she had been gone for so long it didn't feel like she was going home. And, her Dad lived in Ireland now and she has never been to Ireland before. Her happiness was raised at the thought of seeing Ricky and Riley again and finally meeting Taro.
"Hero, you ok?" Amber's concerned voice brought her back to earth and she slowly nodded.
"Yeah fine." She stopped and looked over her shoulder at her friends. Her eyes saddened. She didn't like to travel. Ever since her mother died she never liked to travel. It was a kind of paranoia, she guessed. And she had to go. She had promised her dad.She forced a smile on her face and waved before jogging to fall into step with Amber and Bryan.
oOoOo
Hitoshi watched her go with a slightly confused look in his eyes. Where was she going? When would she be back? Would she come back? He decided to voice his confusion to his friend.
"Hey, where's she going?"
"To Ireland." Brooklyn answered shortly.
"Why?"
"Benson's mom and Kaeto's dad are married and they live there. So I guess its for a visit."
"When will she be back?"
"I dunno. Monday I think. Why you so interested in her anyway?" Hitoshi shrugged. Brooklyn smirked. "You like her."
Hitoshi shrugged again, his lips quirking. "Maybe." Brooklyn shook his head and chuckled.
"What exactly do you see in her? She may be a little cute sometimes but she definitely ain't hot. And she's so skinny…" Hitoshi glared at him sharply. Brooklyn put his hands up in mock surrender. "I'm sorry master. Please have mercy." He bowed. Hitoshi chuckled and started to walk away.
"You're an odd one Brooklyn."
"Me? You're the one who likes the Shrimp." Hitoshi shrugged.
"You like Beyleav."
"Can you blame me?" Brooklyn asked and licked his lips. Hitoshi rolled his eyes.
"Dude, if you're horny don't scar me and go do something about it." Brooklyn glared lightly at him.
"Oh you're nice."
"I know. Little prince charming on a white horse coming to rescue and fuck the princess."
Brooklyn chuckled. "Exactly what I would've said."
"That thought scares me."
"I scare you, deal with it."
"I am."
Brooklyn laughed. "We are becoming the freaks. Let's go babe scoping." Hitoshi shrugged.
"Not like there's anything else to do."
"Aw, your little toy's gone bye bye." Hitoshi punched Brooklyn's arm.
"Ouch."
"Shut up."
oOoOo
"Hey Dad!" Shahero laughed as she was lifted off her feet by her muscular father.
"Konichiwa Satu!" Dad laughed happily as he saw his daughter again in what seemed like forever.
"Daddy I told you not to call me that." Shahero huffed and put her hands on her subtle hips when he placed her on the ground.
"But it suits you so well." Shahero looked around her dad and found Ricky, his onyx eyes laughing. Shahero poked her tongue out at him. "You're as sweet as sugar." he clapped his hands and stared at her with fake adoration. She glared at him and chuckled.
"Sugar, spice, and everything nice!" Amber added with a laugh.
"They must've had a major overdose on the spice for her to come out like this." Shahero threw a clumsy jab at his arm, which he easily blocked. He grinned. "See what I mean?" Amber laughed.
"I think I like your brother." Amber said with approval as she threw her arm over the smaller girls shoulder and they started to walk to the car.
"So sorry Amber, but I've got a fiancé." He said with a very bad French accent.
"And if you didn't?" Shahero asked with a smirk. Ricky shrugged and winked at Amber.
"Who knows?" Shahero gave a dramatic gasp and put the back of her hand against her forehead. She fell backwards into the arms of her dad and pretended to faint. Her father laughed at her, making her shake in his arms. Amber yawned and soon after Shahero yawned too.
"You two must be tired. Here, you want a piggy back ride Satu?" Shahero's face brightened and she quickly climbed onto her dad's back. She hooted with excitement.
"No fair." Amber pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Here." Ricky bent down and Amber's face brightened as she climbed onto his back.
"Hey Ricky! Make sure you watch those hands. Amber's got a boyfriend." Amber glared back at Shahero.
"I do not."
"Well you will soon."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
"Who?"
"Kai." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Amber rolled her eyes.
"Yeah right! Why would I like the loony bin?"
"You don't like him, you love him." Shahero smirked and made kissing sounds. Amber growled.
"Hiroshi can't I kill her?" Hiroshi laughed.
"Sorry Amber, but I plan on keeping my daughter for a little while longer."
"And besides, what would he do without me? He'd be stuck with Ricky for the rest of his life."
"And Ethan." Hiroshi pointed out. Shahero growled.
"Dad…"
"I know Satu but he's still my son."
"Whatever."
"Maybe we can kill him and throw him in a ditch somewhere." Ricky suggested, ignoring the pointed look his dad sent him.
"Not like anyone would miss him." Shahero mumbled. Amber felt out of place in this conversation, not really knowing who Ethan was so she couldn't really judge him yet.
"Alright you two that's enough. Don't I have such lovely angels Amber?"
"Sure. If you count angels with horns."
"I'm an angel, see my halo? The horns are just there to keep it straight."
Ricky laughed. "Good one. I like it."
"Wanna know another one?" Amber asked. Ricky shrugged.
"Sure."
"God made rivers. God made lakes. God made you. We all make mistakes." Amber smirked.
"Oh!" Shahero instigated.
"That's it, I'm dumping you."
"When were we ever going out?"
"I dunno, when do you wanna?" Ricky winked and laughed.
"Ricky you're such an ass." Shahero said jokingly. Ricky pouted.
"You hurt my heart." He placed one hand on his chest, making Amber slip sideways on his back. "Oops." Ricky quickly hoisted her back up before she could fall off. Shahero looked over her shoulder at Bryan and saw him glaring daggers into Ricky's back.
"Aw! Bryanny's all alone." Shahero motioned him forward. When he got closer she could feel the animosity coming from him. "Dude, chill. Ricky's just joking. He loves Riley to bits. He just likes to tease. It's in our blood." Bryan calmed down a bit but she could still see him eyeing Ricky with distrust.
"Already knew that." Bryan grunted. Shahero stuck her tongue out at him.
"Hey dad can we race Ricky to the car?" Shahero asked, wrapping her arms loosely around her dad's neck.
"Alright." Her dad relented.
"Hey Ricky! Wanna race us?" Shahero called. Ricky nodded eagerly.
"Let's do this." He agreed and waited for dad to catch up with him.
"It's to the car, okays?"
"Perfect."
"Ready. Set. Go!" Shahero shouted and clung to her dad tightly as they were off. Shahero laughed with joy as the wind whipped her hair back and the gentle breeze blew in her face. Her dad was fast and they easily made it a few paces ahead of Ricky. Dad dug through his pockets until he found his keys and unlocked the car when they reached it. He was panting and leaned against the car to laugh with Shahero. Ricky wasn't far behind.
"That's not fair. You had the lighter load." He pointed an accusing finger at Shahero.
"You're younger then your old man Ricky." Hiroshi laughed, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction.
"Yeah, and Ams and me are almost the same weight, I'm just shorter." Shahero added. Ricky grumbled and started to walk to the passenger's side of the car. "Amber's sitting there." Hiroshi said before he reached it.
"Why?" Ricky whined.
"Cause I want to get to know my new daughter better and there's nothing interesting about you." Hiroshi joked as he slid into the driver's seat. Ricky huffed and threw open the back door and climbed in. he slouched in his seat and mumbled incoherent things. Shahero laughed and punched his arm lightly when she had climbed into the back seat beside him. Bryan slid in beside her, squishing her in the middle. Amber snickered from the passenger's seat as she inclined her head to talk to them.
"Ha ha." She stuck her tongue out at them. Shahero didn't look happy that she was stuck in the middle and slumped down beside Ricky. It was easy to see that they were related. Hiroshi put the keys in the ignition and put the car into gear before stepping on the gas pedal and driving off. Shahero leaned over Bryan to roll down the window then leaned over Ricky to roll down his window.
"Dad don't ya have the air conditioning on?" Her father shook his head.
"Sorry Satu. Just roll down the windows for now."
"They are rolled down!" She snapped. She jumped and giggled involuntarily as Ricky poked her side. "Hey!" She swatted his hand away before sinking back into the seat. Her dad turned on the radio and Shahero and Amber squealed as Ride by the Vines was just coming on.
That's the start, the middle, and the end
Aren't you glad the universe pretends
If I don't get this message home
Once again I'm gonna hate alone
Ricky sighed loudly and tossed his hair back as the wind combed through it knowing it was pissing Shahero off. Sure enough Shahero was glaring daggers at him and she leaned over Bryan to stick her head out the window. She grinned widely as the wind threw her hair back and she enjoyed the feeling of it against her face. Her and Amber started singing the chorus.
Ride with meRide with me
Ride with me, oh
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me unless youAmber looked out her window at the trees and homes passing by. She couldn't wait to see her mom again and the rest of her family.
"So what do you think the surprise is gonna be?" Hiroshi asked, trying to strike up a conversation. Amber shrugged.
"I honestly don't know." Hiroshi smiled. "You gonna tell me what it is?"
"Not a chance." Hiroshi grinned at her.
"Hey Dad, can I take this baby for a spin in that parking lot?" Shahero asked hopefully.
"I don't think so Satu."
"Why not? At least I stop unlike Ricky who doesn't even know what a stop sign is. Oh look a stop sign, wonder what that's for." She imitated her brother.
"I do to stop." Ricky pouted.
"No you don't." Both Hiroshi and Shahero said at the same time.
"See Dad, you agree with me! Please. If you let me drive this one time I'll never bother you again."
"I don't believe you, but alright just this one time." Hiroshi relented. Shahero grinned cheekily and kissed her dad on the cheek.
"Thankies Dad!"
Bored aloud ignore the right to be
Invite me down because we like to see
The colours through your loaded mind
Fuck the world and liberate our time
Hiroshi turned and drove to the back of the store where it was deserted. Hiroshi got out and slid in the back beside Bryan while Shahero climbed into the driver's seat beside Amber. Amber tightened her seatbelt and grabbed her seat. Shahero rolled her eyes. "Cummon, I'm not suicidal."
"Oh yeah you are!" Amber said quickly. Shahero rolled her eyes again before gripping the steering wheel. Adrenaline pumped through her veins and she felt a surge of excitement as she floored the gas pedal and sent the car speeding forward. Amber gave a small scream before shutting her eyes tightly. Shahero suddenly, slammed on the brakes and turned the wheel sharply. The car spun around five times. Shahero laughed insanely.
"Isn't this great?" Ricky was hooting and hollering with his head out the window behind her while her dad, Bryan, and Amber were gripping their seats tightly.
"Fuck Hero! Don't kill me!" Amber screamed. Her knuckles were white from gripping the seat so hard.
"Shahero that's enough!" Hiroshi commanded. Shahero sighed and her shoulders slumped as she stopped the car and climbed into the back again.
"Whoo! Dude that was fricken awesome!" Ricky clapped a hand on her back making her jerk forward. Shahero grinned.
"I know."
"Am I alive?" Amber asked cautiously, cracking one eye open.
"Yuppity!" Shahero laughed. Amber sighed and let go of the seat. She glared darkly at Shahero.
"Shahero Kaeto if you ever do that again I'll…" Shahero interrupted Amber by singing the chorus. She leaned forward to reach the radio and turned the volume up to the max.
"Ride with me. Ride with me. Ride with me, oh! Ride with me. Ride with me, oh!" Shahero leaned back out the window and laughed with delight.
"I'm not waiting a long life. I'm not waiting alone." Shahero glared icily at a few guys sitting in the car next to them when they whistled at her. She felt Bryan tense and she sent him a reassuring smile. The car stopped as they reached a red light and Amber leaned forward to give the guys the finger. Shahero laughed and stuck her tongue out at the bemused guys. The light turned green and the car was off again. Hiroshi chuckled at his daughters.
"You kids better stop it. We can't have you getting in trouble on your first day back."
"Sure we can. I get into trouble everyday. It's nothing new for me."
"Yeah and when Hero's got DT, I got DT."
"And Mimi."
"I think we all know that already."
"Who's Mimi?" Ricky asked, leaning back and letting the wind brush his face.
"Miyami Kinomiya. She's one of our great friends and partner in crime."
"Hey Dad, we got some criminals on the loose." Amber cackled.
"You'll never catch us!" Ricky leaned forward and wrapped his arm around Shahero's waist, pulling her away from the window and onto his lap.
"I just caught one of you." He ruffled Shahero's hair.
"Hey! Quit it."
Ridewith me
Ride with me
Ride with me home
Ride with me
Ride with me
Ride with me home
"So who else is in your little your little crime squad?"
"Well there's me and Amber."
"Then Miyami and Russia."
"Arista usually comes too since she always likes to help with the pranks."
"And Tyson too."
"Johnny would gladly come if Mimi was there. But he usually ends up there anyway. He's just the typical rule breaker."
"Ever wonder why you guys are best friends?"
"Nope."
"Sometimes Ruin's there too."
"Yeah we use her to kill people since she won't regret it later."
"Then that usually means that Tala would be there."
"And Hans too."
"When has Hans been in detention with us?"
"When he was caught smoking dope, remember?"
"Oh yeah."
"And then Zareth is almost always there too since he's always late."
"Like us."
"Who else? I think that's all of the normal people." Shahero dug through her pocket and pulled out her wallet. She flipped it open and looked at the picture of her friends. She checked off all the people they named in her mind. "Well Sunny-D's never been in DT I think."
"Nah. Sons is a straight A student. The perfect role model."
"Who the hell are all these people?" Ricky interrupted.
"You don't know them." Amber said with a shrug.
"No, really?" He bit out sarcastically.
"Geez, no need to bite my head off."
Shahero poked his stomach. "Give her her head back."
"Why should I?"
"Cause I don't wanna walk around with a headless Amber."
"She could be the next headless horsewoman."
"There never was a headless horsewoman. It's headless horseman."
"Well then she would be the first wouldn't she?"
"I don't think I like that idea very much." Amber's face scrunched up in disapproval.
"Me either."
"Well you'll just have to deal." Shahero smirked as an idea popped into her head. She punched him really hard in the gut, making him grunt in pain and lean forward to clutch his stomach. "What the fuck was that for!"
"Give her her head back or I'll punch it out of you."
"I say good luck to you."
"Ricky, leave your sisters alone."
"Sisters?"
"Yes sisters. Amber is your sister too."
"Oh yeah. Guess I still gotta get used to the fact that I have two little brats to look after now."
"The joy." Amber muttered derisively. Ricky smiled and pretended to give her something.
"Here's your head back." Amber pretended to fix it back on her neck and sighed blissfully.
"Ah, my beautiful head." Shahero snickered. Hiroshi pulled into the driveway and Amber and Shahero jumped out of the car. Bryan and Ricky followed the two girls at a more leisurely pace. Hiroshi closely followed carrying Shahero and Amber's bags. Amber threw open the door and ran inside, looking around for her mom.
"Mom!" She called. Treasa walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands on a dishtowel.
"Amber." Treasa smiled warmly at her daughter and hugged her. Amber immediately noticed the rounded stomach and eyed her mom suspiciously.
"Hey." Hiroshi walked up to his new wife and kissed her lovingly on the lips. "You're supposed to be resting." He scolded. Treasa placed her hands on her hips.
"I know how to take care of myself." Hiroshi laughed.
"If your up and moving then I don't think you do. The doctor said you need to take it easy and rest."
"What's wrong with my mom?" Hiroshi had forgotten that Amber and Shahero didn't know what was going on and mentally kicked himself. Shahero placed her fists on her thin hips and eyed her dad and step-mom suspiciously. Hitoshi gave Treasa an apologetic smile.
"Well we were going to wait until later to tell you, but your mom's pregnant." Hiroshi wrapped his arm around Treasa' waist and rubbed her rounded stomach. Shahero and Amber stood there, mouths agape and eyes wide.
"She's…" Shahero started.
"Pregnant!" Amber burst out in astonishment. Treasa nodded.
"Is it a girl or a boy?" Shahero asked in excitement.
"When are you expecting it?"
"What are you going to name it?"
"Whoa, calm down girls. One question at a time." Hiroshi laughed.
"It's a boy. It's due any day now, and we don't know." Treasa leaned her head against Hiroshi's strong chest.
"You two can go walk around the town if you want." Hiroshi suggested. Shahero shrugged.
"I think I'm just gonna go get comfortable in my room. Ams, you must wanna see some old friends here so you can go if ya want." Amber shrugged.
"Nah not really."
"Hey common, don't be a party pooper. Let's go check out the clubs and stuff." Ricky wheedled. Shahero gave him an 'are-you-stupid' look.
"Dude, the clubs aren't open until night time."
"Duh!" Amber chided.
"Oh." Ricky laughed and scratched the back of his head. "Well, let's just go hang out. We don't get to see each other that often anymore." Ricky put Shahero in a headlock and gave her a noogie.
"Ricky!" Shahero cried as she covered her head with her hands. Ricky laughed.
"Causing trouble as usual Eric." Ricky released Shahero and she spun around to glare at him then looked to the person who had just spoken.
"Tha…" The gratitude died on her lips as she saw who was standing there. Ricky growled and draped an arm over Amber and Shahero's shoulders. Ethan stood at the door, looking very neat in his crisp, pressed business suit and slicked back ebony hair. His serious onyx eyes were behind wide rimmed glasses.
"No. Just havin some fun. It has nothing to do with ya Ethan." Shahero fixed him with a level gaze.
"And his name is Ricky. It ain't Eric."
"Grammar Shahero. Ain't isn't a word," He spat in disgust. "You would say 'It's not Eric'." Shahero put her hands up in mock surrender.
"Oh. Watch out guys. Here comes the grammar police. If you don't speak properly he'll come and lock you up forever." Amber mocked. Ethan gave her a cold stare and Amber just stared back.
"Don't look at Amber like that." Shahero snapped, stepping forward.
"What trouble is my husband causing you girls?" The kind voice of Paige said from behind his tall bulk. Shahero grinned at her and she rushed forward to scoop up the baby in her arms.
"Hello sweetie." She cooed, lightly poking the baby's small nose.
"Auntie Sha!" Saffron gurgled and reached out her pudgy hands to take hold of a stray lock of ebony streaked with silver.
"I want you to meet someone. She's gonna be your auntie too." Saffron giggled as Shahero ticked her sides. Shahero held her up so she could see Amber's smiling face. "Say hi to Auntie Amber."
"Hi." Saffron said a bit more shyly.
"Can Saffron say Auntie Amber?"
"Auntie Abber." Saffron tugged on the lock of hair that was tucked firmly into her small hand.
"Hey Saffron." Amber greeted, tickling the gurgling baby. Saffron giggled and scrunched up.
"Auntie Sha! Auntie Sha!" Saffron reached her hands out and clung to her neck tightly. Shahero made choking sounds and Amber lifted Saffron from her arms. Just after the baby had left her arms there was a shout behind her.
"Auntie Hero!" She felt someone bump into her and cling to her legs making her stumble onto Ricky who caught her nimbly. Shahero laughed into Ricky's chest and pushed herself away before turning to face the person who made her loose her footing.
"Nikki! You're in big trouble missy." Shahero scolded playfully and placed her hands on her hips. She stared down at the green-eyed girl. Nikki just stared back up at her with an angry face and her arms crossed over her chest. Shahero smiled at her and laughed. "Hey I was joking." Nikki pouted but didn't do anything else. "Hey." Shahero crouched down in front of her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Whats up?"
"I'm mad." She grumbled. Shahero laughed.
"Why are you mad?"
"Cause Daddy wasn't being very nice." Shahero smirked.
"I'll tell ya what. Would you feel better if I was mad with ya?" Nikki nodded. Shahero grinned. "Ok. Let's both be mad at Daddy." Shahero's face scrunched up and she gave her best mad face to a very annoyed Ethan.
"That's enough Nikki. Let's go see Mommy." Nikki sighed and followed her dad into the kitchen. Shahero rolled her eyes.
"Fun sucker!" Amber called after him. Shahero laughed. "Dude, he's such a…" Amber glanced down at the baby in her arms and just let the sentence hang. Shahero nodded.
"I know. I honestly know."
"And to think we're related to that ass jack."
"Ricky!" Both girls cried out while Amber covered Saffron's ears.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"The baby!" Shahero hissed.
"Aw common. Chillax Hero." Ricky started to shove her out the door. "Now common lets go check out the town." He looked over his shoulder and motioned Amber to come.
"Hold on I'll go give the baby back to…" her brow furrowed as she tried to remember her name.
"Paige." Shahero finished for her.
"Yeah, Paige. That's it." Amber hurried off to give her back the baby. Shahero leaned against the wall much like Ricky. Suddenly, Ricky burst into laughter just as Amber rushed back over to them. She eyed him curiously.
"He gonna be ok?" She hitched her thumb in Ricky's direction. Shahero shrugged, an ebony eyebrow raised as she watched her hysterical brother. Ricky put his hand up.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just remembering the time I was dunk and we got stopped by the cops." Shahero's eyes widened with realization and she burst into hysterics also.
"Oh do tell." Amber asked with interest.
"Ricky is such an idiot! He was drunk and he was speeding and we got pulled over by the polly dudes."
"Polly dudes?" Amber asked in confusion.
"Its what we used to call the cops." Shahero explained.
"Oh I see. And you were in the car with him?" They pushed the door open and started to walk down the street.
"Yeah."
"She was thirteen." Ricky added. Amber nodded.
"Anywho, he was drunk and when the officer pulled him over he said, 'hey, you must've been doin about 125 mph to catch up with me. Good job!' it was hilarious and the officer looked so shocked that he would say that." Ricky grinned. Amber burst into laughter.
"Well it is funny. And that guy was…well…a police officer."
"Nah, really?" Amber asked sarcastically.
"Yup."
"Then when the officer gave him the ticket and Ricky said, 'I pay your salary!' like seriously Ricky." Shahero laughed. Amber laughed harder.
"Oh man." Amber wiped the tears of mirth that were falling down her cheeks.
"Yeah I got pulled over like three times with Shahero in the car. By the second time she was saying stuff with me." Shahero grinned.
"I couldn't help it. It was too hilarious to see their reactions. And I had gotten an email a while ago that had some really good things to say so I borrowed some of them."
"One time the officer said to me, 'Gee son…your eyes look red, have you been drinking?'"
Shahero laughed. "Like I said I couldn't help it. It was a classic."
"What did she say?" Amber pressed, listening intently.
"She said, 'Gee officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?'" Amber bent over with laughter, clutching her sides that were starting to hurt from laughing so hard.
"That one's good." Shahero grinned.
"Thank you. Thank you." She bowed lowly. Ricky grabbed her upper arm and pulled along.
"And then the officer said he'd give us a warning and we left." Ricky concluded.
"Then the last time that night we were pulled over, Ricky said, 'Do you know why you pulled me over?' then the polly dude nodded and Ricky said, 'Okay, just so one of us does.'" Amber laughed and used Ricky's arm to support herself.
"Dude you're such an idiot." Ricky pouted.
"You're so mean." He sniffed.
"Aw deal with it ya big baby." Amber hit his arm jokingly.
"Fine. Hey how am I a baby?"
"Why must you ask stupid questions?" Amber said, rolling her eyes.
"Cause he is stupid." Shahero teased. Ricky tackled her onto the lawn of some neighbour and started to tickle her. "Ricky!" Shahero screamed as she writhed underneath him. "Ams! Help!" She yelped between involuntary giggles. Amber launched herself at Ricky and sent him toppling off of Shahero and onto the grass with her on top. She quickly scrambled up and helped Shahero to her feet. "Run!" Shahero screamed and they both broke into a run back to their house.
"I'll get you two! Just you wait!" Ricky called after them. Amber spotted a skate park and skidded to a stop.
"Hey Hero, wanna quickly go get your board and we'll come back here?" Shahero nodded eagerly and continued to drag Amber along until they reached their house. Shahero quickly dashed inside and ran past her dad with a quick hi then back out again with a bye after she had grabbed her skateboard, Amber's roller blades, and a pair of jeans. She shoved the roller blades into Amber's outstretched arms without even stopping and she ran all the way to the skate park.
Finally, she stopped and waited for Amber to catch up. Amber fell into step with her and they both walked over to the closest bench so Amber could pull on her blades. Shahero glared sharply at a few guys who were laughing and pointing at them. Obviously they've never heard of girls skateboarding. She smirked. Well she'd show them. She surveyed the area where they were while she pulled on the jeans, leaving her skirt on top. They were at the half pipes. It looked to be about nine feet deep. She would take a few practice rounds on the seven foot one before heading over there.
Shahero's legs started to swing back and forth and she leaned forward. Amber quickly pulled on her blades and she started to sit up but noticed Shahero wasn't moving.
"Hero, ya comin?" Shahero twirled her board in her hands before looking up briefly.
"I'm gonna wait here a while." Shahero's thoughtful frown worried Amber and she settled back down on the bench.
"You ok?"
"Yeah. Just thinking."
"Who said you were allowed to think?" Amber teased. Shahero glanced at her, her ebony eyebrows shooting up.
"Um, me?"
"Nope, wrong answer." Amber grinned at her step-sister and Shahero's lips quirked as she shook her head. "What ch'ya thinking about anyway?" Shahero shrugged.
"I dunno. Honestly. I just walk into a park and like to think about crap." Amber nodded.
"Yeah I guess I would be doing the same if it wasn't for those losers over there yelling their fucking dicks off." Shahero laughed. She studied the group of guys with a look of disgust.
"Dude they suck."
"I know. Let's go show them how to really skate!" Amber snickered and hopped off the bench, momentarily forgetting she was on roller blades and she almost lost her footing if it wasn't for Shahero who steadied her before hopping on her board and pushing off.
"And they're only at the grind rails! Oh man. That has to be the easiest thing to master in the park!" Amber nodded.
"I know." As Shahero neared the rails she picked up speed before lifting her board and doing an almost professional looking nose grind. Amber hooted and laughed as Shahero hopped off her board and did her own little victory dance. Amber laughed.
"That's how you do a grind." Shahero said haughtily to the gaping boys. "Cummon Ams. We got a show to do for a few laughing bastards over at the half pipes." Amber smirked evilly and nodded in agreement.
"Kewlies!"
"I'm thinking we warm up on the seven footer then we head over to the nine footer." Amber shrugged.
"Sounds good to me." Shahero nodded before climbing up the ladder to stand at the top of the half pipe, one foot on her board as she pushed part of it over the edge, preparing to descend. Taking a deep breath she confidently pushed off and did a drop-in into the ramp, pumping up the other side she did an ollie before skating back down into the ramp. She considered stopping in the middle but she saw Amber fly past her on her blades. Shahero pumped back up the other side and did a 50-50 grind and dropped back in. Amber and her grabbed hands and both girls spun in a large circle. They laughed before releasing their hold on the other's hand and pumping back up the side. Amber jumped out and leaned on the rail, waiting patiently for Shahero to finish her 'warm up'. Instead of doing a grind or an ollie to turn her board around Shahero just let the board glide back down the ramp, performing a fakie.
Finally, Shahero stopped in the middle and threw a rock on sign to Amber with her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Amber laughed and met her on the ground. They ignored the many shocked stares they got from guys and boarded, or in Amber's case bladed over to the nine footer half pipe.
"You ready to do our great double team?"
"Hell yeah!" Amber exclaimed excitedly as they climbed up the stairs to the top. Amber shoved away the hand someone had offered her and climbed up herself. She looked up at the guy. He was short but slightly taller then her 5 ft 3" form. He stared down at her with emerald green eyes that held a similar cynical glint to that of Shahero's. Strands of his red hair fell in his face.
"Hey! That's my look get your own." Shahero snapped from behind her making Amber snicker. His eyes flicked to Shahero then back to Amber and he eyed them with disinterest.
"What are you two doin on our side of the skate park?" He asked. Shahero and Amber exchanged glances.
"I don't see your name on it, do you Hero?" Amber said, pretending to look around and shrug as if she found nothing.
"So's why don't ya go home to your mommy so we can skate, or in your case Ams, blade." The boy grabbed Amber's upper arm and pulled her closer to the ramp.
"There." He pointed to the graffiti that marred the concrete ramp. It read 'Daichi' along with a few other names around it.
"Daichi, huh." Amber said thoughtfully. It sounded familiar.
"Daichi! What's your dealio? That's Amber." A girl pushed her way to stand beside Daichi, hands on her hips. Her hair was a deep teal green with natural black streaks and it shone dark electric blue when the sunlight hit it. Her eyes were garnet and they were darkened slightly from annoyance. Her skin was a peaches and cream complexion. Just the way she stood and talked, it was easy to see her and Amber were related though you couldn't tell from looks. Daichi studied Amber for a second then his eyes lit up with recognition.
"Oh yeah! Hey Amber. Didn't recognize ya for a second. Geez, did ya shrink or something? I could've sworn you were taller then me last time I checked." Amber glared at him.
"What you've got a problem with short people or something? Huh buddy?" Shahero got up in Daichi's face, sticking up for her friend and herself since he was basically dissing short people. Or at least, that's how she saw it. Shahero poked his chest until he answered her.
"Whoa! Calm down. If I had anything against short people would I be hanging with Kirb?" He hitched his thumb to the garnet-eyed girl. She was short, possibly shorter then Shahero herself. Now that was surprising.
"Whatever." Shahero mumbled as she shuffled back to stand beside Amber.
"We were just heading over to your house to see if you got home yet but I guess you beat us to it." The girl said happily to Amber.
"Looks like it." Amber saw Shahero staring at the half pipe intently and nudged her. Shahero grinned cheekily at her before grabbing her board and preparing to fall into the ramp.
"Whoa wait. I don't even know who you are and like I said, this is our side of the skate park." Diachi stopped her.
"Daichi back off. She's my step-sis and if you bug her then you gotta deal with me." Amber smirked. Daichi's eyes flickered from Shahero to Amber then back again. Shahero rolled her eyes.
"I can take care of myself Ams."
"So I've heard." Shahero scowled and grumbled something inaudible before falling into the ramp. Kirby watched Shahero with interest while she talked to Amber.
"So that's Shahero? Hiroshi told us a lot about her." Amber nodded.
"Yah she's really cool. She's an octopussy after all." Kirby stared at her in confusion.
"Octopussy?"
"Sick joke by Kane." Amber explained.
"I was hoping it wasn't what I thought it meant." Amber shrugged. "Well we gotta go. Mom's gonna have a fit if I'm not home to change. Tell your mom we're coming over later."
Amber nodded. "Sure." Kirby waved and they all climbed down the ladder. Amber's eyes snapped to the middle of the half pipe when she heard Shahero's frustrated scream.
"What the hell?"
