Kikkie: This is probably my first story in a long time that I wrote and did not check if my writing was bad. It's just so simpler to write and not have to worry about my writing. Also, its rated M for cursing.
"Everything is fine! We're gonna be fine!"
She says before a building behind her blew up, the bright colors of yellow and blue lights up the area a bit before it began to rain metal and money down to the ground. Looking over her shoulder, she saw what used to be a large building, now just smoke and rubble.
"So…contextually speaking…how fucked are we?" The orange ottsel asked.
"Royally." The blue-green-haired female responded as she begins to hear the sounds of race cars coming their way.
(Ten hours earlier, Keira POV)
"My back is killing me." The rustic voice male moaned as he uses his right hand to rub his shoulder blades. Another race down, another car destroyed by spikes on the road, mines, and just heat. Weirdly enough, Torn seemed to do less damage than the others, so I wasn't that mad…but still.
"You were racing in a mountain set up, how the fuck did you get sand in the engine?" I asked as I examine the large metal device that was now smoking with the smell of sand and rust.
"I had to make a U turn through the forest area. There was quicksand but I didn't think it got into the engine." Torn explains to me, he watches me remove the machinery from the car then pop open the dispensary side. Titling it, a line of sand falls to the ground.
"Must have been a hard turn." I muttered.
"Sorry Keira, a lots been on my mind. Recently a murder happened and I have been getting calls." He responded, at this point I was too tired to lecture him on the safety of his car. I just placed the engine on the ground before walking away from him. He soon follows me to the waiting/lobby area where the rest of rag tag team is. Today was a rough day, seven races and two of them weren't even towards to help our team.
"Great, Torn's here, now we can start." Ryan started, I swear if I wasn't patient…I's sucker punch that nasty bitch right in her fake boobs! Just to see one of them pop! Then give Jak punch in that face of his for convincing me to come to shit bag of a city! But, I am a kind person! So I just took a seat next to Jak as Torn sat next to me.
"As you all know, we wont be racing for the tomorrow! The Sponsor day is happening, which means we all must do out part gain some sponsor for our team! Our else everything we have now may not last for long." Ryan…wait, what?
"I thought Krew paid for everything?" Sig asked.
"Yes, well there are something that aren't covered in my father's will. Such as car expenses." Ryan says as she glances over to me.
"That comes out of MY pocket." I growled back, do not blame this on me…
"Yes well, we also have things like food and water to pay for. Plus, we have to partake in the festivities or they might kick us out." Ryan explained. "So, for tonight and tomorrow, I want you all to have smiles on your face and a positive attitude. There will be fun activities, social greets, a big dinner, so much fun!"
"Oh my god, that sounds amazing! It almost makes me forget that I am poisoned!" Daxter mocked as he chuckled. Seconds later he got a slap over the head by Jak.
"Well, tomorrow we have to go the assembly hall. That Blitz fellow will instruct us on what to do next, but tonight is the ball!" Ryan said in glee, she sounded way to happy about that.
"A ball, Oh! You think there be some crazfish there? Tess and I have been dying to do something romantic!" Daxter spoke.
"Actually…no animals allowed." Ryan awkwardly chuckled. I must be honest, I not sure Ryan acknowledges Daxter as a being. Rather, I think she see's him as a pet that can talk.
"I am not an animal!" Daxter shouted in anger before crossing his arms. Poor Daxter, you know, he's actually calmed down a bit since we left Sandover. He's no longer an annoying turd that would constantly try to see my underwear. I guess the stress of a new environment can really change people.
"Also, it's a suit and tie event, so we must look our best." Ryan tells us, but her eyes soon fell onto Jak. I know what that look is, those are fucking eyes. Jak on the other hand doesn't see it that way, or so I think. "Jak, would you like me to take you shopping?"
"I don't do shopping, I normally just go through someone's closet." Jak chuckles, which causes the older male to turn and look at him in shock.
"I knew that outfit looked familiar!" Torn shouted before pointing to Jak.
"Nice fit." He chuckled back as he pulls at the collar.
"Jak, this is a formal event, you can't wear your everyday suit. This afternoon I am going to the red section. Why don't you join me, I'll get you a suit!"
"Eh, I'll just get what's in Torn's closet." Jak awkwardly chuckle, it was then I realized that he does understand what's going on. It seemed uncomfortable and I wasn't the only one that notice.
"But I-And with that!" Ashelin started, cutting off the blue haired female. "I assuming this afternoon is free of any more events, races and stupid commercial take?"
"Ye-Yes?" Ryan responded in fright. As if she was a little girl trying to hide away from the bag bad wolf.
"Then we are done. Keira!" Asheli…why is she calling for me?
"Yea?" I responded.
"Come with me!" She said as she walks towards the exit. Is she gonna kill me?
"Why?" I asked.
"Because if I find out you took another piece of clothes from my closet again, I am going to sneak into your room and shave you bald. Now get up, were going shopping!" She threatens. And yes, I too take her clothes because I hate shopping! Why do you think I wear the same thing every year (Honestly, they did Keira dirty).
"Fine!" I growled before standing up. Waving bye to the male in the room before following Ashelin to the garage. Once inside, I hopped into the car and allow Ashelin to drive us to the shopping section in the city. I didn't know there were so many clothing stores in the city, and I hate it! After being dragged into a store that was painted bright pink, Ashelin finally started to talk.
"How do you feel about Ryan?" Ashelin asked as she examines a very shiny top. I was holding a bunch of clothes she had picked out for both her and eye. Our body size wasn't that different, although I will admit that her tits are bigger than mine.
"I don't trust her." I responded; I wasn't lying either. Ashelin a bitch but if I was in a dangerous situation, I would entrust her with my life. So being honest here wasn't that big of a deal.
"You don't?" Ashelin asked as she examines another top, this one normal looking.
"No, I worked for Krew for a year. Ryan and him aren't that very different." I explained.
"What did you do for Krew?" Ashelin asked.
"I built vehicles that hid drugs, money and other stuff. Long story short, I wasn't in the game for long." I explained. "What's your connection with Krew?"
"I looked the other way when certain people got murder. Since he and Torn were…kind of working together during the war against my father." Ashelin explained. "I wrote a lot of accident reports that year. But I never met Krew's daughter."
"She was hidden." I responded. "But she was working, and I am telling you know, I think she was in on the poisoning."
"You think so?" Ashelin asked me. I could tell that she wasn't surprised by my words. Unlike most of the men we were around, she and I saw right through Ryan's damsel in distress act.
"I know so." I responded.
"Hm. Well, obviously your not dumb. So why do you play along and pretend to be nice to her?"
"She's Krew's daughter. She knows how to act…" I started. "She plays that weak and fragile girl. To the point that even her voice breathily feminine. She portrays a weak damsel, like a small helpless mouse. Because of this, everyone around us thinks she's weak and can't do any harm. And that's how she manipulates people! And I for one, am not for it! I want her to think I am nice, but not weak. I want her to realize that I will kill her if needed, and I have a couple of times."
"You've tried to kill Ryan?" She asked, staring at me wide eyed.
"Only twice…" I responded. "Look, she poisoned us! I was not happy!"
"Have you ever tried to kill me?"
"No." I responded, and that was the truth. With all the hardships and annoyance, I have for this redhaired bitch, I have never tried to kill her. Cause again, I need her to survive! Plus, people could link me to ger death easily.
"Really?"
"Okay, I might have thought about it once, but that is when I learned about the kiss."
"I kissed Jak on the Cheek! I didn't fuck him!" Ashelin shouted in anger, causing some people to look in our direction. After a few seconds, they all continued their activities.
"Bedside's, I am into older males."
"I know, that reminds me…" I started. "You and Torn need to be quite at night, just cause you two bust a nut at 2 AM, doesn't mean I can't hear you. I am right next to Torn's room, I do not need to hear about his dick size."
"Sorry." A blush appears on her face as she looks away in shame. Personally, I don't care about another person sexual activities. Frankly, I think its nice Torn is having sex! Frankly, the guy needs it to remove the stick up his ass! What I don't like is that there are loud as fuck and I can't sleep! And other reasons I wont get into just yet.
"Hey, where were you last night?" She asked me, weird question.
"Where I always am, in the garage. Check the video feed." I told her.
"So you weren't at the Bloody Hook at all?" She asked.
"I don't like going there alone, a bunch of criminals and assholes. Why do you ask?"
"One of the racers was murdered in the parking lot. One of Mizo's men. Now Blitz is ordering everyone to not travel alone and such. He quoted Don't want a fan favorite to die and lose ratings!"
"What an asshole!" I growled. "But I will keep an eye out and stay away from traveling alone."
"Also, I heard you are going to the beach soon?" She asked as she pulls a white dress that was very scandalized…I liked it!
"Yes, I haven't had a good swim in the ocean in years! Now that the Metal Heads are gone and we might die soon if we don't win this horrible thing. I thought now we be a great time to enjoy my life and go for a swim. Jak, my dad and Daxter are excited about it!" I told her as I reached over to grab that white dress she had in her hands. The redhead smiled herself before continuing her shopping. I must admit, this fun! Normally being around Ashelin would make me want to cut my eyes out and then eat them with a side of ears. But this was nice! After purchasing the dresses, we went to get smoothies!
Everything was fine…till the ride back I saw Jak going down on Ryan in her car.
Kikkie: The Jak series did Keira so dirty. Like she is the third of the group, she's in every game, even has a cameo in the PlayStation game. I wish they did more with her than treating her like a side piece of ass.
