All in the Family

Disclaimer: I do not own the Gorillaz. I only own Kathryn she can be used in other stories with my permission. I also don't own the song I Need Some Sleep.

The siblings sat together in the Kong Studios kitchen both with a cigarette hanging form their lips. Kathryn sat in stunned silence while Murdoc watched her questioningly. "So….will you lend your talents Kat?" Kathryn took the cigarette from her mouth and put it out on the table, frowning. "As much as I hate it Murdoc I don't think I have much of a choice…..if what you said they did to a 13 year old girl really happened then I'm duty bound to hold up her memory. Besides…" She smirked at her brother, the family resemblance shinning through. "if you pissed these people enough for them to pull out the heavy artillery then you guys are rebel enough for me." Murdoc shook his head laughing. "Then get to practicing. You may have had talent Kat but if you're going to survive in my band you need to actually be able to play something that didn't come from your own skull." Kathryn merely stood, flicked him the bird and sauntered off. "Kat…where are you going?" "To find a room and lock the door so I don't have to listen to your sorry ass!" Murdoc smirked, "Just like old times…"

Kathryn wandered the hallways becoming more and more agitated. She must have opened fifty doors, none of which she could stay in. Opening the next door, she found the roof caved in letting the heavy English rain pour in. "Damn this place! Do I have to sleep in a freakin' closet!" She stormed down the hall heading for the last door at the end of the hallway. "If this next room isn't inhabitable I'm going to take Murdoc's bass and shove it into a wood chipper. I know it's been 6 years but damn!" With that she flung open the door and gasped. "You lucky bastard I just had to find the one room…" She chuckled walking into the small bedroom and falling facedown on the bed. "Black walls, Black carpet, and one window with bars on it…it's like a dungeon….perfect." And with that she jumped onto the bed and pulled out her guitar. "I've barricaded my room shut to be away from Murdoc…..just like old times."

2D winced when he heard another door slam shut. His head was killing him. 'Who the hell?' He pulled himself up off the couch and walked toward the source of the noise. He made his way down the hallway a hand clutched to the side of his head and then he stopped dead. There was a girl…standing right in front of him, her black hair falling down past her butt and the denim miniskirt showing off almost everything she had to show. He gulped and for a moment every thought of Noodle's death flew from his mind. 'Holy mother of Buddha…who the hell is…' "Damn this place! Do I have to sleep in a freakin' closet!" The shout shook 2D from his thoughts long enough for him to see the girl run down the hallway. 'What….is she staying here?' The girl kept moving unaware of the fact that he was following her. . "If this next room isn't inhabitable I'm going to take Murdoc's bass and shove it into a wood chipper. I know it's been 6 years but damn!" 2D stopped short. 'She knows Murdoc? What is she a fling or something?' He watched her open to door to the guest room and saw her smile. "You lucky bastard I just had to find the one room…" 'Goddamn it who the hell are you!' He watched her walk into the room closing the door. Fortunately for 2D (unfortunately for Kathryn) the lock on the door often stuck meaning when she closed the door it bounced back enough for 2D to see inside. He watched her look around the room before falling back on the bed. "Black walls, Black carpet, and one window with bars on it…it's like a dungeon….perfect." 2D watched her as she sat up and pulled out a guitar. 'Oh……Noodle's replacement…' He was about to walk away and return to his grieving until…

The notes flowed from her fingers like liquid mercury. Kathryn sighed, content to be playing again. The tune was a depressing little number. She looked out the barred window and watched the rain yawning. She leaned back against the headboard her mismatched eyes (it runs in the family) fuzzy from sleep. She opened her mouth and began to sing…

I need some sleep

You can't go on like this

I tried counting sheep

But there's one I always miss

Everyone says I'm getting down too low

Everyone says you just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

I need some sleep

Time to put the old horse down

I'm in too deep

And the wheels keep spinning round

Everyone says I'm getting down too low

Everyone says you just gotta let it go

You gotta just let it go

You just gotta let it go

Kathryn sighed and closed her eyes smiling. "That was beautiful luv." Kathryn sat bolt upright her eyes widening staring at the black eyed blue haired man. "Wha-Who…I mean…uh…get the hell out of here!" She stuttered. "You're the new guitarist? I'm 2D this singer." Kathryn didn't understand…why couldn't this guy take a hint and leave. "Well luv are you the new girl or aren't you?" Kathryn nodded, "Yeah…I'm the new guitarist." "And your name is…?" "Kathryn…Kathryn Niccals." 2D nodded slightly before it hit him… "NICCALS!"
