Me: Third one and counting...
"Honey I'm home!" Nikki calls as she walks in the doorway from detention, lugging McDonald's takeout behind her.
"Takeout? Again?"
"If you don't like it Spatial, make your own food."
"But you hate my food."
"Because you put salt in cookies instead of sugar!"
"One time and I'm labeled for life!" Nikki laughs.
"Hello Sissy."
"Hey Shannon." Nikki chomps down on a fry.
"Hello Nikki-dono." At the sound of Kenshin's voice, she nearly dropped the Quarter Pounder with cheese she was holding.
"Oh! Kenshin! Hello! I had no idea you were here!"
"Hai, Spatial-dono said it was alright if I stayed." Nikki glares at Spatial.
"Just for that, I'm taking your Big Mac away."
"NOOOOOOO!" All of a sudden the phone rings. Nikki walks over and picks it up.
"Hello." she says. She pauses for a moment before her whole body goes rigid.
"Nikki-dono?" Kenshin puts down the controller he was using to play Spatial in video games with and walks out beside her. Nikki holds up her hand to stop him. A few moments later, she literally freezes and drops the phone. From the living room, Spatial and Shannon could see her face turn an ashen gray. Kenshin picks up the phone.
"Hello?" he pauses as well before his eyes turn livid, "ENISHI!" he literally screams into the phone, "YOU LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE!" Spatial gasps. Finally, a few minutes later, Kenshin had enough, "ENISHI! YOU CAN JUST GO FUCK YOURSELF!" Spatial lets out another gasp and covers Shannon's ears. Kenshin slams down the phone and seizes Nikki's arm.
"You guys," he growls, "Get your coats, we're leaving."
"Why Kenshin?" Nikki asks, recovering from her stupor.
"Just shut up and do it."
"But why?" Kenshin looks at her and Nikki froze again. His eyes had turned a steely amber, enough to scare the piss out of a little kid.
"Because our asses are on the line, that's why. So just shut the fuck up and do it." Shannon, who had her coat on already, thanks to Spatial, tugs on the leg of Nikki's pants.
"Sissy, what about Teddy?"
"Uh, right." Nikki hurriedly tears herself from Kenshin's grasp. She picks Shannon up and bolts to her bedroom. When she returns, she's holding Shannon, who had a teddy bear in her arms and has a backpack on her back, she's holding Spatial's and her backpacks and her purple stuffed bunny.
"YOU'RE BRINGING THE BUNNY!" Spatial shrieks.
"Shut up about the bunny, and let's go." Kenshin growls, wrenching the door open. No one dared defy him.
"But Kenshin, where are we going?" Nikki asks, turning around and facing him.
"My place." (Me: His and Battousai's anyway. Kenshin and you guys: (GLARE) Me: O.O Shutting up now) Nikki hands Shannon and all the stuff, but the bunny which Shannon was holding, to Spatial and motions for them to go ahead. To make a long story short, They do.
"Alright." she turns around and meets the glare given toward her by those steely amber eyes. "What is going on?" Kenshin grabs her by the back of the neck, lifts her head up, and kisses her.
"Just know that what I'm doing now, I'm doing because I love you."
O.O (Nikki and most likely, the majority of the readers)
At Kenshin's and Batt's house...
O.O (Batt's expression when they all walk in the door)
"What the hell is this?" he asks.
"Can we talk?" Kenshin asks him.
"Oh god, you are not..."
"I am." Kenshin says, cutting him off, "Your room, now!"
Inside Batt's room...
"I had to bring them here. Enishi knows where they live and he has a sniper right outside their apartment, waiting for the perfect moment." Kenshin growls.
"Kenshin, how did you..."
"He told me." Kenshin cuts him off again, "Gods, you should've seen her! Nikki, I mean. She was so scared."
"And Kaoru?"
"She wasn't there, and there was no mention of her."
"I'm still going to check on her." Kenshin grabs Battousai's arm before he can walk out the door.
"Wait, we still have more pressing matters on hand."
"Such as?"
"Those two women and that small child out in the living room, that's what." Kenshin walks out of the room. Spatial had already taken a seat on the couch and Nikki was holding Shannon, still standing, trying to answer Shannon's questions as best as she could without getting the child worried.
"Nikki." Nikki's head snaps up and her eyes meet Kenshin's.
"Yes?"
"Any idea how he knew your phone number?" Nikki's cellphone goes off again.
"Hold on." she sets Shannon down and opens it up, checking the caller ID. Her eyes go wide.
"Kenshin?"
"What?" Kenshin steps forward a bit, "What is it?"
"I don't know how he knows our home phone, but that's not all he knows." she turns the cellphone around and faces it toward Kenshin. Underneath the caller ID it said 'Enishi', "Kenshin," Nikki's voice began choking up with tears, "He knows my cellphone number too. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. My cellphone has a GPS on it...he knows where I am. We're not safe...anywhere.
Me: LOL! I have no idea why I said that..
Ariel: You know what, neither do I.
Me: R and R yo!
