(A/N: Hey all! Seriousness done! ONWARD WITH THE FUNNY!)
Hinode and Sora mused over the explanation of why Akane hadn't disemboweled her birth father onsight.
The logic behind it was a little twisted.
But, then again, it was Akane's reasoning after, so in a way, it made perfect sense in a way.
She was livid, make no mistake of that, at him for abandoning her with that bitch and not taking her with him.
She wanted to kill him for that.
...or at least make him suffer as much pain as she did.
However, she had also given up all hope of ever finding him alive, so she was also overjoyed to see him.
It had been fifteen years after all.
Odds were pretty high that he could have been killed, or have died from a disease he contracted from Akane's mother (C'mon. Dya really think that whore practiced safe sex?)
Unbelievably joyful and extraordinarily pissed.
Both at the same time.
But since she was always quick to anger, she had decided to go with the happy (while it lasted)
And make no mistake, while she still would love to receive his head on a pike for a birthday present, she knew there would be time for maiming him later.
Wufei's take was a little different.
If it we're him, and his father had walked out onhim and suddenly decided to walk back in fifteen years later, he would have killed him onthe spot (Ch'yeah right bud. Does th' name, Meiran, ring any bells?)
Quatre, onthe other hand, thought it was wonderful that Akane was showing some femininity at last by forgiving her father (...who says she's forgiven him?) in such loving (loving? don't push it pal)and open manner.
Heero had no insight on the matter whatsoever.
He merely wanted to reach Madagascar and go on safari as soon as was humanly possible.
Relena thought that fortune was being rather unfair, granting any sort of luck to a compassionless, silver tongued devil like her.
Trowa was asleep in his seat and didn't care.
As for what he's dreaming about...well…I'll just leave that up to your imagination.
Duo merely thought it was a weird and amazing twist of fate that had brought the two back together, and as an orphan, couldn't help but feel a little jealous (don't worry too much boy-o. the blood bath is set to begin shortly)
Domino really didn't care, but as per his obligations as Akane's body guard, he had to call his employer to inform him of this recent development.
Needless to say, things weren't going well.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"
Mannen flew out of bed hitting his temple on the comer of his nightstand.
Takaomi snapped the PS2 controller in his hands in half.
Kazuo started choking on a chunk of partially chewed poppy seed muffin.
"He's ALIVE?" Suo snarled into the phone, his grip on the receiver so tight that several fissures were forming.
"Yes sir." Domino replied, "He sought Miss Kakyoin out and-"
"Where are you flying to now?" Suo snapped, "What's your destination? TELL ME!"
"Muh-Madagascar." Domino said shakily.
Without another word, Suo slammed down the phone, making it break into five perfect little chunklets.
"Huh...he's still alive...thank you god." Suo grinned maliciously.
"'ey Suu, what's goin' on?" Takaomi growled, stalking into Suo's office.
"Yeah, bro." Mannen grumbled, holing a towel to his bleeding head wound, "What's th' deal?"
"…almost...killed me." Kazuo croaked, massaging his throat.
Suo looked at all of them a look of wild animosity on his face.
"He's shown himself." He grinned wickedly, "We've founnnnnd him."
-Several Hours Later...-
The plane set down in Ivato Airpot in Antananarivo, Madagascar.
They had arrived at ten o'clock exactly.
Akane was ordering Duo around again, the gift locket securely fastened around her neck.
"Hurry it UP ya lazy 'TARD!" She yelled, kicking him in the ass to hasten him along.
"Knock it OFF ya BITCH!" Duo shouted back.
He had decided somewhere over Bali that he wasn't gonna take her shit anymore.
"What was that?" Akane growled, grabbing the braided boy's ears and twisting.
"OWOWOWOWOW!" Duo yelped.
"How childish." Heero murmured, eyeing the scene before his eyes.
"People are staring...again." Wufei grumbled, staring at the floor just ahead of his feet so as not to make eye contact with any of the spectators.
"This...is so...embarrassing." Relena thought to herself, a pink tinge flooding her face.
Trowa and Quatre looked at each other.
"Yes, I know." Quatre said comfortingly, "I'm hungry, too. We'll eat soon. Promise."
Sora and Hinode also shared a look.
"Wish I could do that." They thought.
"Oi, MONKEY!"
Akane stopped twisting Duo's ears and glanced up, following the direction of the voice to a group of VERY familiar men.
"Heyeee...izzat...SUU-KUN! MAN-NII! KAZU! TAKA!" Akane shouted, releasing her grip on Shinigami's ears and darting over to her brothers.
"Oh...oh thank god." Duo breathed, massaging his ears with both hands (after setting down the huge vat o' luggage)
There was a big group hug/noogie/punch-in-the-arm-fest between the siblings before they broke apart.
"I take it ya missed us, Monkey." Kazuo grinned.
"Shuddup." Akane glared.
"So...where is he?" Suo asked casually with murder in his eyes.
"Back in Paris." Akane responded easily.
Suo balked.
"Back..." Mannen started.
"In..." Kazuo continued.
"Paris?" Takaomi finished.
"Mm." Akane nodded, "We agreed it's for the best."
"BUT WE WANTED TO KILL HIM!" Suo yelled.
"We can do that later." Akane said indifferently, "After we erase our police records."
" ...good point." Kazuo said.
"I hadn't even thought of that." Takaomi said sheepishly.
"Dumbasses." Akane growled, a grin on her face, "God I missed you."
"So are you gonna...you know..." Suo trailed off.
Akane's face contorted.
"HELL NO!" Akane cried, "No way I'd live with that ass! Fifteen years and not so much as a letter? Fuck that!"
A relieved look passed over her brother's faces.
"No to sound rude..." Sora trailed off, "... but can we go now?"
"Yeah..." Hinode yawned sleepily, "'m tired."
"Sure." Mannen grinned, "Sorry 'bout that!"
"Our bad." Kazuo snickered.
"Hey, Mega Tard! Give Sora and Hino piggyback rides." Akane ordered.
"WHAAAAAT?" Duo cried, "How'm I sposda carry THEM and th' bags?"
"YOU figure it out!" Akane snapped, walking off with her brothers.
"Mind filling us in?" Takaomi asked Wufei.
"Not at all." The Chinese teen smirked.
-The Next Morning...-
-FWOK-
"HYAH!'
-WOK-
"TAH!"
-BWOK-
"AUGH! YOU FREAKIN' TURD!"
Heero awoke to a barefoot stomping down only millimeters away from his nose.
It was Kazuo.
In the midst of a flip-flop fight with Akane and Mannen.
Heero had to quickly roll to the right to avoid getting stomped on as Mannen dodged the red and black flip-flop in Akane's hand.
A little annoyed, Heero snaked his hand forward and grabbed his own sandals while the snickering, dueling, shrieking trio were preoccupied.
"You ass!" Akane giggled, stepping on Wufei's hand as she smacked Kazuo across the shoulder, "Gimme back those goddamn pictures!"
"You'll geddem back!" Mannen snickered, sidestepping over Relena's sleeping form and striking Akane on the stomach, "Right after ya gimme back that DVD!"
"And that zip disk!" Kazuo laughed, hopping over Trowa's hair and whacking Mannen across the puss.
"Never!" Akane crowed.
Just as Heero slunk up behind the dueling siblings and was about to strike…
-FWOK-
"Aiyeep!" Akane squeaked, as the flip-flop impacted on her thigh.
-FWOK-
"Owuch!" Kazuo yelled, bringing his hands to his head.
-FWOK-
"Ow!" Mannen yelped, falling on the still sleeping Quatre.
"WAH!" Quatre cried, awakening at the sudden weight.
"Taka!" Kazuo shouted.
"Suu!" Mannen demanded, "What th' hell?"
The elder siblings extracted the missing (and rather humiliating) items from their younger siblings and returned them to their proper owners.
"Embarrassing piccys of Monkey from when she was seven." Suo said, placing the 8x10 glossies in her hands (which she promptly ripped to shreds)
"Thank you ever so much, brother dear." Akane said sarcastically.
"Kazu's zip disk filed with nothing but videos secretly taken of a girl he likes and stalks in his off time." Takaomi grinned, plopping the tiny disk into his now blushing brothers hands.
"Thanks a bunch." Kazuo growled, ears steaming.
"And of course, who could forget Mannen's pirated DVD of "'Sensitive Ponography'"?" (1) Suo snickered as Mannen snatched it away and snapped it in two.
"Remind me t' smack you." Mannen grumbled.
Heero looked vaguely put out as he dropped the flip-flops and went back to sleep.
"Huh." Kazuo said thoughtfully, "What's his problem?
(A/N: On Safari they go! Thinga are gonna get interesting, that's for sure! R&R!)
(1) "'Sensitive Pornography"'- an extremely hardcore yaoi! Pfft! Hee hee! Lil' bunny Aki-chan! -for those who aren't familiar with the title, don't trouble yourself with that last remark-(Mannen: Stupid effin' girlfriend!) (Akane: Yeah...sure...girlfriend...) (Mannen: IT'S TRUE!) (Quatre: Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure. Keep telling yourself that.)
