CHAPTER ONE: The Alaunus Sisters
Zuri was a woman on a mission. Her wide set hazel eyes twinkled in clear determination as she waltz out her room and across the hall to her younger sister's bedroom.
She slowly cracked open the door to see her sister in her queen sized bed. Clearly a wake with headphones on and her All Might phone-covered iPhone in hand. Two giant greyhounds on the large mattress with one curled around her feet as the other was curled into her left side. She must be looking at a compilation of animals doing cute things. It was clear basedof the big grin fixed on her bow shaped lips. Zuri slowly tried to creep into the room without gaining attention of the occupants in it and quickly failed. She slowly crept the door open. Only for a loud creak to greet her ears. She shut her eyes and held her breath. She cracked open one of her eyes to be greeted by two very excited greyhounds with heads perked up at attention in her direction. Their tails wagged happily. Before,rushing off the bed to attack her with morning kisses.
"Ah! No-! Stop! Your breath smells! When was the last time you two got a greenie!",Zuri cried in disgust. "I gave them greenies last night",her sister's gentle voice met her ears.
Burnetta,her two years younger sister smiled warmly at her from her bedside,"Morning,Oniichan. What you want to do today?"a laugh escaped her lips at the sight of her older sister struggling to get pass her dogs. Burnetta whistled,"Zoom, Guts come!",she patted her bed. The greyhounds obediently came to their owner. Guts,an all black greyhound with a missing right eye jumped on her mattress. While,Zoom an all white greyhound with a black bloch on the end of his tail. Sat in front of her at full attention.
Zuri gave her a playful glare,"You could have called them off sooner"
"What's the fun in that?",Burnetta relied in clear amusement.
Zuri rolled her hazel eyes as she wiped her face clean of dog drool with her Pokémon shirt,"It's 2:00 in the afternoon. Wanna grab some pizza at Adriano's?"
"Sounds great! Any new anime caught your eye?"
"Nah, not really. Still watching Fairy Tail"
"Seriously? I don't know how you can even get into that show",Burnetta twisted her mouth in disgust.
Zuri rolled her eyes at her sister again,"Only people with refined taste can appreciate such a great anime"
Burnetta snorted," Yeah,refined trashy taste"
"Sorry that I can't be into all that dark,gory,shitty anime you like"
"Excuse me,I don't watch anime.I read the manga. Only the manga "
"Ugh,whatever"
Meet the Alaunus sisters:Zuri and Burnetta. They live in a two-story condo in a complex of downtown Manhattan,New York. Today was August 06,2018.A day marked as the beginning of their two week vacation together. Burnetta was given time off from her job as a professional S.H.I.E.L.D agent. Zuri received vacation time from her manager,Zoey Blake. The sisters had two weeks to do whatever they wanted starting today.
Burnetta shuffled her feet around her bedroom. Her walls were decorated with posters of manga covers. She had two fairly big bookshelves neatly cluttered with comics and manga with some figurines of her favorite characters and heroes. She opened the blinds of her window. It was fairly sunny with few clouds in the light blue weather looked like a perfect day for a walk. She turned her attention to her bed. Where her two dogs was curled together with their eyes glued to her.
"Wanna go for a walk?",the dogs happily got out the bed in a flash and ran out her open bedroom door. Burnetta chuckled at the sound of her sister shrieking echoing through the condo. She strolled downstairs into the livingroom to see her older sister on the couch with her mid-back wavy burgundy brown hair was a mess with two greyhounds licking her face.
"Zoom,Guts!",she patted the outside her dungaree covered thigh as she went to the coat rack and plucked two dog leashes off. The two hounds swiftly obeyed her and sat in front of her with wagging tails as the milk chocolate skinned girl put their harness leashes on.
Zuri fixed her sister with a hard glare as she put her hair into a somewhat decent ponytail. Burnetta looked at Zuri. Offering her a grin,"Ready to go"
"Yeah. So,are we going to the dog park or Adriano's first?"
"Let's go to the park first and get these guys settled for the day"
"Alright,they ate already?"
"I fed them this morning and again at 12:00. They should be good until 6:00"
Zuri hummed impressed. She was usually the one to feed them when she got home sometimes. Burnetta was sometimes busy on a mission for weeks or even months on end.
"Alright,let's get this show on the road",Zuri bursted open the door. She was greeted by a big moving truck across the street in their fairly quiet neighborhood. Not that many people roaming the streets at the time. "Someone's moving in?",Zuri's burgundy brow arched at the sight of it.
Burnetta shoved her sister out of the doorway. Helping her sister keep her balance with a firm hand on her shoulder.
"Hm,looks like it", Burnetta said in a voice of clear indifference. She gave her sister the leashes of her wild hounds."Stay here. I need to make sure that the pavement is cool enough for their paws",Burnetta went down to sun beaten pavement and crouched down putting her bare palm on the ground. She gave them a thumb up and stood up.
Zuri came down to where her younger sibling was and handed over the leashes to Burnetta. The younger sister took them as she studied her older sister. "You know looking is rude",Burnetta spared a glance over her shoulder at the moving truck. "Maybe we should go over and greet-"
"It could be someone moving out. We're not exactly buddy-buddy with any neighbors over here",Burnetta cut off her sibling with a pointed look. "
We're friends with Kala",Zuri shot back. The burgundy brown haired woman turned her eyes to her sister and gave her an annoyed eye roll. "We've knew her since middle school. Doesn't count",the ebony woman waved off the claim. Zuri's downward turned lips twisted into a disappointed pout as she gave her sister the puppy eyes.
Her younger sibling inwardly twinged at her expression. Even at the age of twenty four, Zuri's puppy dog pout had an effect on her. Burnetta heaved a loud sigh,"Let's go". Her sibling's eyes immediately lite up and she clapped her hands in excitement as she pumped her fist in victory. Burnetta rolled her eyes at the gesture. The younger sister had a gut feeling she was going to regret it.
But she quickly pushed it aside. The two sisters with a pair of excited greyhounds carefully crossed the street and on the sidewalk near the front of the moving truck.
"OI! SHITTY HAIR!",a muffled deep brass rough voice roared in japanese. From the sound of it. The sisters assumed it came for one of the condos to their right.
Burnetta's black brow rose in interest. Japanese, ah? "Huh,what's wrong Bakubro?",a deep raspy friendly voice response in the same language.
"WHERE MY OTHER LUGGAGE CASE?",the first voice raved in clear annoyance.
"I saw it last in the rental car's trunk!", the second voice replied.
Suddenly, a front door one door down from them seemingly exploded open. Zuri instinctively jumped behind her shorter sister. Burnetta wiggled her button nose and let out a dry cough. Her bored almond shaped deep brown eyes followed a very grumpy ashe blonde male marching out the door. Clearly grumbling about something under his breath.
The seemingly feral (human?) male stomped down the steps to the pavement and scanned the area. Probably,searching for that rental car. Until, deep brown clash with fiery ruby orbs. He looked at her. She looked at him.
Burnetta blinked a few times before offering a simple,"Yo",as a greeting. The feral male let out a simple grunt in return. He looked her up and down. His eyes widen a bit. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE?",he said pointing downward in english his japanese accent heavy on the words. She looked down to see him pointing at her two happy greyhounds.
"Greyhounds. They're my pet dogs"
"DOGS? THOSE FUCKING THINGS ARE LITTLE HORSES! SHITTY HAIR COME LOOK AT THIS SHIT!",he yelled in clear fascination. Burnetta gave the ashe blond a very unimpressed look as Zuri arched her brow in a quizzitive manner. In a few seconds a man rushed out of their shared condo with dark brown hair pinned up in a neat man bun to join his ashe blond companion on the sidewalk.
"What's wrong bro?",he questioned the ashe blond.
"LOOK AT THE THINGS THE BITCH HAS ON A LEASH!",the ashe blond pointed directly at her.
Burnetta grimaced as Zuri poked out her head from the safety of her smaller statured sister's back and shot a glare at him.
"Bakubro, not cool",the man bun chastised his friend in japanese as he nudged his shoulder into his companion's.
"Hey, sorry about him",he apologized in english with a light accent on his words. He looked over the ebony girl with an obvious taller sunkissed girl hiding behind her.
The taller girl was probably scared by his roommate's explosive exit out their shared condo. People on the streets and in their condos were peeking out of their windows giving them, wuthering looks and scowls of annoyance. So much for good first impressions with neighbors.
The two girls were a few feet away from them. But,he could make out the grimace written on the deep bronze skinned girl's face. And he could feel the pair of eyes over the female's shoulder giving his friend a disapproving glare. The ebony girl's face went blank and he felt eyes roaming him over.
She waved her leash free hand at him,"Please don't apologize for your rude friend. It's not your fault that he's a jerk wad",her soft voice rang in a clear dismissive manner.
The ashe blond's face twisted into a somewhat animalistic snarl at the female dismissive response to his friend's apology. Who the fuck was she insulting? Calling him a jerk wad. His hands itched to explode the bitch into another dimensional existence.
He march the distance between himself and the stupid bitch in front of him. The closer he got to her. He got a better look at the fairly shorter dark skinned female before him. Her oval shaped face bare a blank expression as her deep brown almond shaped eyes were calculating. As if she was assessing his form and storing the information in her mental catalog.
He grabbed the girl roughly by the collar of her t-shirt. Forced her to balance on the tip of her knee high wore combat boots. He didn't know why. But,the more he looked at her. The more he got pissed off. She reminded him of a nerd he knew. Except,there was no hint of fear in her eyes. She was just staring at him. Assessing him.
"Who the fuck you're calling a jerk wad,huh?", he growled in clear determination to put the bitch in her place. He swore a flash of humor crossed her brown eyes," I was clearly calling you a jerk wad. Are you stupid or something?",her facial expression remained blank as a twinkle of humor glittered her eyes. The ashe blond scowled as his face twisted into something that could only be compared to a feral canine. The ashe blonde was probably about the same age group as her.
Burnetta looked into his narrow crimson ruby eyes with a bit of a frown fixed on her bow shaped lips as her nose wrinkled a bit,"Your breath is foul"
"What the fuck you said?",the ashe blonde gritted out through his teeth. The guy growled at her deep brown eyes assessing him, " You really are stupid,huh?",her dull voice drawled out. The burgundy haired female behind her gave him a fierce glare. He just blew it off. The fact that the taller girl was hiding behind the shorter one .Showed that she wasn't a threat. But, the female that he had his fingers firmly hooked into the collar .The ebony woman that looked to be about the age of eighteen or early twenties. The bitch didn't bat an eye at him.
As if she thought she could take him. She looked normal from what he could tell. Her whole body was free of tension. She had a really lax demeanor. One he didn't really care for. He felt his anger dim a bit. Either the bitch had a strong quirk or really good at saving face.
"I hate to interrupt your joke of a thinking process. But, could you let go of my collar. I actually like this shirt", the ebony woman's gentle voice held a very dull and disinterested tone to it.
"Whatever, you dumb bitch", the ashe blond clicked his tongue as he released his grip on the fabric of her shirt.
Burnetta gracefully leaned back on the heel of her boots. She fixed the collar of her shirt. Zuri straightens up her stance behind her little sister. Her hazel eyes glared at him in ashe blond let out a dismissive grunt and walked away. Heading to a silver Rogue Sports vehicle.
Burnetta looked down at her dogs who were still happily wagging their tails. She smiled down at her boys. They were making actual progress. "Good boys. Good boys. You were so good. Even when that Pomeranian of a man assaulted me. Such good sweet boys",Burnetta quietly gushed over her two well behaved hounds with gentle pets on the head.
Zuri snorted,"Shame I was hoping they would take a chomp out of him",the burgundy haired looked down at the hounds and smiled with pride too. They were so different from the scared little pups her sister brought home from one of her many classified rescue missions.
"Hey!", the man bun rushed over to them with a sharpen toothed grin."My name is Eijiro Kirishima and my roommate is Katsuki Bakugo. We're just moving into our condo today"
"Nice to meet you,Eijiro. I'm Zuri and this is my little sister Burnetta", Zuri zoomed in front of her sister. She proudly introduced her sister and self . Burnetta gave him a two finger salute of greeting.
Eijiro could already see who was the social butterfly between the two. The young man smiled at the two. Sisters,eh? They look so different and Zuri sure looked familiar. "Nice to meet you as well Zuri and Burnetta",trying their names on his tongue.
"Just came over here to welcome you to the neighborhood. We live across the street over there, 213. If you need someone to show you around. We will be more than happy to help",Zuri pointed a thumb at the condo across the street.
Burnetta scrunched up her nose in confusion. She didn't remember volunteering herself to be a tour guide to a couple of strangers,"We?",Burnetta gave her sister a 'I didn't volunteer for shit' look. Zuri shot her with the 'Just roll with it' look.
Burnetta restrained herself from rolling her eyes in front of Eijiro. The man bun guy seemed alright. She sort of felt bad for the guy. Living with a guy as rude as what's his face? Bak-something. Ugh,like she gave a fuck.
She watched with a bored expression as Zuri exchanged empty pleasantries with the new neighbor. "Ok,I'll see you guys around. Take care",Eijiro waved bye to the sisters. "You too",Zuri waved back as Burnetta nodded giving him a peace sign with her leash free hand.
"Eijiro is so nice",Zuri chirped walking beside her sister. They rounded the corner of the exit of their neighborhood.
Burnetta let out a snort and rolled her eyes,"The same can't be said for Pomeranian man",the ebony woman sucked her teeth at the thought of reacting with the feral excuse of a human being. Hopefully Eijiro wouldn't consider their offer to play tour guide for them. Hopefully,if he did. He wouldn't drag his ashe blond friend along with him.
"Yeah,he was rude. I mean you are kind of a bitch. But,you didn't do anything to warrant being called one",Zuri smiled at the beautiful glare her little sister gave her. Her raven brows furrowed with the little wrinkle over her adorable button nose. Her bow shaped lips with her top natural dark chocolate lip and peach colored bottom lip twisted into a scowl. Showing off her sharp fangs a bit. God she missed this. They hadn't spent time like this in what felt like forever.
"Whatever",Burnetta grumbled in slight annoyance. She knew her older sister was teasing her and she was kind of a bitch by nature. In fact she had what they called a,'resting bitch face' throughout what seemed her whole existence. Even, as a kid she always had a bitchy demeanor about herself. "There's nothing wrong with being a bitch. You know the best girls in anime have a resting bitch face", Zuri teased her sister a bit more.
"Jeez,thanks for the compliment ", Burnetta's words were soaked in sarcasm.
"Anytime,baby sister ",Zuri chirped in pure glee as Burnetta growled in slight agitation.
"Hey daddy-o. How's it kicking?",Zuri answered her Inuyasha covered iPhone.
"Where are you two?"the deep gruffly voice of her father acquired his middle child of his three blood related daughters.
"We're spending some quality time together for the day. We're at Adriano's waiting for our pizzas. Why? You in town? We can order another meat lover one just for you",Zuri offered in slight excitement.
The man on the other end of the line smiled,"You might want to do that. I'll be at your place in two hours. Good for you two?"
"Sure,we'll meet you there. See you till then dad"
"Back at ya,Euphrosyne. Tell Athena I said hi"
"Sure,thing", with that they both ended the call.
"So,dad's coming over and he still calls me Athena",Burnetta said with a peak of interest in her voice.
"Sometimes,I forget you can literally smell and hear everything around you like dad. Does that get overwhelming sometimes?",Zuri asked with clear interest in her sister's undeclared dilemma.
"Why do you think I have resting bitch face in the first place?",Burnetta gave her sister a 'Isn't it obvious' look. It's not like she could cut the shit off. She wiggled her nose as many scents of fresh ingredients assaulted her nostrils. She felt her left ear twitch at the sound of metal pans clashing in the back kitchen of the restaurant. People chattering about mundane things,jobs,work,affairs in their relationships. She learned to simply ignore her surroundings at a young age of eleven with the help of her father and her older sister Laura Kinney.
Zuri gave her sister an apologetic smile," I guess you already ordered the other meat lovers pizza for dad".
"Yup",Burnetta popped the 'p' with a click of her tongue as she pulled out her All Might covered iPhone.
"Order for Alaunus Sisters is ready", the perky messy haired ginger teenage girl with espresso skin announced. Zuri got up for her seat at the table with her sister. Carefully,walked over Zoom resting in front of her.
She approached the perky girl with a smile,"Thanks,Amy. How much will it be?",Zuri digged into her back left pocket for her wallet. "Nothing,Adriano's said it's on the house. He's just happy your sister is back home safe",Amy chirped as she looking over at the ebony girl with raven wild shoulder-length coily curls looking at her phone with a blank stare.
"Oh,wow thanks. But,please take this. I want to support this place in anyway I can",Zuri handed the employee a one hundred dollar bill.
"I said,your money isn't any good here. Now, take the damn pizzas and go home",Adriano's thick Italian accent smothered his loud words from the back kitchen. Zuri sighed in defeat.
"Fine fine, you win this time",she mumbled putting her money back in her wallet. She took the three pizzas and whistled. Catching the immediate attention of her sister and the two drowsy greyhounds.
"Let's go",Zuri waved bye to Amy as she exit the small corner restaurant with her sister and hounds.
"Come again",the ginger employee chimed with a smile.
"So,we got free pizza. Bitchin",Burnetta commented with a smirk.
"Yeah. Now let's go home and eat our weight and plus some",Zuri smiled looking at her sister. She was happy her sister was back home too. The sisters walked and chatted about various things.
Until,they were back in their neighborhood and headed towards their condo. It was around 6:00 in the afternoon.
The sun was setting,painting the sky in shades of blues,yellows when ,they finally entered their home. "Woah, what a workout", Zuri put their pizzas on the coffee table and thrown herself on the couch.
Burnetta unleashed her tired boys and went straight to the her hounds some wet food with bits of dry kibble in it. She also gave them fresh water with one ice cube in their water bowls.
After,making sure her hounds ate their dinners. She sauntered over to the fridge and told out three cold bottles of sodas. Coke for her sister,and two Sprites for their dad and her. "I'm going to wash up real quickly",Burnetta stated as she put the cool drinks on the coffee table. She hooked the leashes back on the coat rack and headed straight up stairs.
Zuri sat up and grabbed the bottle of Coke and opened it. Reveling in the frizzy sound of the soda. Before,gulping half of the content in the bottle. She let out an refreshed sigh.
"Knock! Knock!",Zuri perked up at the sound,"Dad!",she rushed over to the door and opened it to be embraced by her shorter dad. She embraced the mid-forty looking man back."Wow,dad have you gotten even shorter?",Zuri teased the retired man.
"Shut it,brat and let me in",the man grunted with a slacked smile.
The burgundy haired girl moved to the side for her father to enter. Only for the two hounds to pounce him with kisses. "Oi,down you two",the man demand with a smirk and the hounds quickly obeyed his command. Zuri stared in pure awe and scowled to herself. She watched the dogs follow her father to the large plush blood red leather recliner chair. The hounds seemed to listen to everyone besides her. Logan looked around the livingroom of their condo with a cheeky smile,"You two are obviously doing good for yourself".
"Logan", a warning gentle voice echoed as Burnetta walked back the stairs of the condo in her Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood shirt with the Elric Brothers on it and a pair of all black basketball shorts, her hair was covered in a black silk cap stared at the back of her favorite chair.
"My little Athena. It's been a while",smiled as his youngest daughter slowly approached him from behind. "No shit,pa. Where the hell you've been?",Burnetta acquired bluntly sitting on the arm of the chair her father was resting in.
"Nowhere really. Mom said hi",Logan looked over his daughter. She looked so much like her mother. Only inheriting his dark brown color eyes and hair color instead of her mother's blue color eyes and ivory hair.
"You went to Kenya?",Zuri acquired with a voice of worry . She sat on the end of the couch near her father. Hoping their mother was alright.
"Unika-Mom,she's okay?",A glimmer of hope shined in Burnetta's deep brown eyes.
"Yup, she's doing really great. She ran into Laura. Seems like your sister's mission with babysitting the Brat Avengers with the Spider-guy took a left turn. Don't worry,she's alright. Unika helped your sister reunite with her team. She called me. Laura reminded her of me. Thinking at her made me think about you girls. I wanna to check up on you two",their father looked over both girls. Both girls exhaled their breath. They didn't even know they were holding it.
"I'm glad,mom is doing well",Zuri smiled at the thought of her adoptive mother figure.
" Laura and her met huh? I bet they got along fabulously",she chuckled at the idea of the two meeting for the first time. Logan snorted,"Laura and her had a bit of a clash. Until,your sister got a good look at her face. So yeah,they got along fabulously",his Adam's apple bobbed up and down with his chuckles.
The daughters and father spent an hours drinking sodas and eating pizzas and watching late television shows. Reminiscing about their past hardships. Talking about possibilities of the future.
To be continued...
