Sup sooooooo Covid 19 has really picked up.
My country (NZ by the way) has now officially hit level 4 on the crisis scale meaning limited movement and people being forced to stay home for 4 weeks.
To others this is a great time to learn a new hobby, like me just before the Level 4 happened I picked up a huion Kanvas 20, it's my first drawing display tablet and I'm excited to get a better grasp at digital drawing, if only there wasn't any panic in the air and maybe I wouldn't be pressed to learning everything I could on the first day.
Other than that it will leave me to watch random shows I've found online, new manga and games.
Oh also gives me more time to write I guess, if I'm not pulled away from time to time by my mother or nana just to do some house work but hey that's nothing new.
Now I've dallied on too much so I will just leave you to read and get back to you at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 11 Change Trick
"Why did you take me?" Was the first thing I heard come out of Akito from the entire night, sitting on the edge of one of the tall skyscrapers I landed on.
"Got a couple reasons, some of them a little more personal than the others but I will say that one of them was to piss off your brother." I pointed out not bothering to hide that little tidbit.
"Hahahaha I see, my brother can be-"
"He's nothing more than an abuser." I said casually dropping right beside Akito. "Sadistic guy that probably caused you some serious traumatic experiences."
"I see… What are you going to do to us-I mean me?" catching his supposed slip up I couldn't help but let out a small amused hum.
"The both of you can make that decision for yourselves, you could either run out into the world by yourselves and possibly get picked back up by your brother." Pausing for a minute I smiled before placing my hand gently on the kids head. "Or you could stay with me and my little family full of misfits and go to school."
"Aaaaah well um I… i-is-"
"The other you wondering if crow is going to be at my home?" I asked, watching how Akito seemed to look up at me in pure shock. "Well to answer that yes, also I know for the fact thanks to me he ended up fighting you two, really I don't see how my ribs are that good or anything." I mumbled the last part to myself but I suddenly felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Please take us in, I-I don't know why but I feel like I need to see Crow again it's kinda weird and Agito is really sceptical but well please take us in," Akito begged his head slammed into my chest while he looked up at me with the biggest puppy dogs I've ever seen.
"As long as Agito learns to keep his fangs in check and promises to use it on me over some random guy then that's perfectly fine." I said not negotiating.
"Ok oh Agito wants to talk to you." Akito exclaimed as he quickly switched eyepatches causing the immediate changes of personality to appear, instead of Akito's calm relaxed demeanor it was replaced with an agitated position.
"Fucking hell you must be out of your fucking mind." Agito exclaimed clearly not pleased but at least didn't sound as bloodthirsty as he first came off in our first meeting an hour or so ago.
"Don't have to tell me twice, you're speaking to the guy who is straight up dating the previous thorn queen of the sleeping forest." by that name drop I could immediately pinpoint the exact facial expression of shock from the teen.
His eye looked right at me as he tried to look for any kind of lie, but unfortunately for his observation skills I wasn't lying.
"You must be-I mean…"
"Honestly I'd rather you not going into, now how about a quick run to my house oh please don't contact Kaito that asshole is more insane than you and even I know thats fucking saying something." I exclaimed as I really didn't want to deal with him replacing his rubber bullets with 50. Cal rounds.
"Ahahahahaha don't worry about it unlike him I can at least keep my fucking secrets." Agito exclaimed, throwing himself off the skyscraper with me quickly following him.
This is going to be interesting.
"Ok everyone meet Akito he has a multi personality disorder and when you switch his eye patch over the personality changes, and before you even start yes Ume I did promise to cook barbecue ribs tomorrow."
"Yes!" came the immediate happy response while the rest of the girls silently cheered, well all but Rika seeing as she apparently had to leave early for a business trip which was fine, I gave her a quick kiss told her she was absolutely wonderful and to kick any skank in the vag if they said otherwise to her.
…
…
…
Can't I say I don't love my girlfriend now can ya?
"Hello all I'm Akito!." the teen in question said waving a large sleeved arm at everyone.
"Anyway did anything else happen while I did my thing?" I questioned looking to Ikki as everyone appeared to be in their AT clothes except Ume she must have switched out because she was going to bed in a couple minutes.
"Yeah this idiot nearly lost our emblem, freaking idiot." Mikan bit out as I blinked in confusion until I saw the satisfied look on Ikki's face.
"Let me guess Skullcaders?" with the collective nod I couldn't help but let out a small groan of annoyance from hearing their name especially in my own home.
"Well shit they are going to be a pain to deal with, that much I can already damn well tell." I said shaking my head not disappointed in Ikki but the fact that canon still had a way to come out of nowhere.
"Anyway Ikki, Ringo please do me a favor and take Akito over to your school and get him applied to your school."
"WHAT YOU WANT HIM GOING TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS ME!? ARE YOU INSANE!?" Ikki roared somewhat surprised by the suddenness of Ikki's tone. I shook my head in annoyance.
"Either you take him or I'm not cooking those ribs." I exclaimed with my arms folded.
"He'll do it!" Mikan yelled out quite obviously hypnotized by my power of cooking.
"That's what I thought now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna scream into my pillow until I pass out from exhaustion." I said turning around and making my way up stairs.
"Wait hold on where's he going to-"
"Don't know, don't care."
The next morning was quite active.
"AAAAAAHHH! get away from me!"
"But Ikki Hamish told you have to take care of meeeeee!"
"Ikki don't be mean to Akito."
"Ah not you too Ringo, damn it Hamish why did you do this to me!?"
Rolling my eyes I casually placed everyone's breakfast on the dining table, everyone immediately forgetting their squabbling and dug in. Well all except Akito who simply stared at the meal in front of him.
"What's up you don't like it?" I exclaimed curious as to why Akito didn't jump in immediately.
"Oh you didn't have to do that you could have given me some melon bread, you don't need to-"
"Oi I'd stop that if I were you." Ikki spoke stopping himself from eating. "Hamish hates the mornings but he gets up everyday to cook us breakfast and make our lunches, if you don't eat it you'll just be spitting on the hard work he went through." Huh surprising to hear that came from Ikki.
"Now though if you don't want to eat it then I will gladly take it ehehehehe." Nevermind that's the real Ikki.
"Just take a bite and if you don't want it then that's perfectly fine." I said moving away and back to the kitchen finally prepping the last of the lunches but stopped when I heard the sounds of eating.
Looks like someone enjoyed my cooking.
"Alright Lunch should be done soon Akito I made you one as well Ringo I trust you to keep it out of Ikki's hands?' I called out closing one of the bento boxes.
"You got it." Ringo exclaimed happily, I'm glad she's bet-
"Ringo why do you have Ikki in a headlock?"
…
…
…
Looking over my shoulder I watched as Ringo did indeed have Ikki in a headlock and he looked like he was close to passing out.
"Yeah no I am not touching that." I mumbled looking back at the bentos and got them sorted.
Think I may have been a tad too forward with Ringo, then again when it comes to me subtilty is not an option but a hindrance.
Ring ring ring!
"Hello? Oh Hamish it's for you!" Hearing Ume's voice I grew a confused look on my face before moving over to take the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hamish you have got to be out of your mind."
"Oh Daunt hey your up early thought you would still-"
"I've had to take a damn all nighter because of you, after someone named the Nevermore took a certain former fang king a fucking stupid crazy ass fucking cop came right into my club and tried to shoot up the fucking place!"
"Ow no need to yell at me geez, anyway what the hell happened?" I asked, wincing from Daunt's tone of voice.
"Allot of things mainly thanks to your expert paper work skills I was able to show a perment for the use of AT's as well as some other stuff, still that asshol didn't leave not without casually scaring our fucking clients, he wants your head Hamish badly." Hearing this I couldn't help but frown in annoyance.
Other than the Inn the club, my work place was somewhere I could be myself so to hear it be fucked with irks me the wrong way.
"For now I'm going to have to let you go, please don't take it seriously."
"Nah it's fine Daunt just change it from full time to part time."
"What no did you not hear me, you need to-"
"What I need is a job and frankly in these three months your business has booming to the point you are considering opening up another club in kyoto, I've seen the papers Daunt, now don't mistake what I'm saying as me trying to owe me one fuck no with what you pay me I'm the one who owes you." Pausing for a minute I took a deep breath in and out calming myself down.
"Now we can discuss more of this tonight, if you I could take a week and go out to some potential spots for you to open up the second club, now if you'll excuse me I need to finish making these kids their lunches." I said listening as the man, my boss, my teacher and more importantly my friend took a minute to give me his answer.
"Sigh fine, but I'll see you later today frankly I need some sleep, so come in and just wake me up."
"Alright will do, now good night my love." I said in a teasing sarcastic tone.
"Oh fuck off."
Click!
"Ahahahahaha fuckin hell today is going to be a fun one." I said with a bark of a laugh.
"Hey are you done over there cause we need to go!"
"I'm coming!" I yelled out.
Deciding to come in with my AT's I flew through the air kicking myself from building to building until I stopped at a rooftop of the club, but body powersliding to a stop right in front of the club's rooftop entrance.
Forgoing my usual attire of all black everything I decided to just wear a pair of blue jeans, a blue t shirt and finally dark gray wind jacket.
Stretching my arms over my head I felt my bones click into place before i made my way inside, entering through the rooftop entrance I quickly jumped onto the guard railing and slid down it until I reached the bottom where the VIP area sat.
From low coffee tables, high end leather couches this place was the absolute example of what a VIP looked and felt like absolutely boring.
Riding along the hardwood floor that was more likable than the smooth carpet you usually get in other clubs this place like the rest of the club was designed for Stormriders, albeit the more high end type of storm riders but still stormriders all the same.
Moving through I took a solid minute to look at the nearby concrete wall that was covered in tears from different people who wall ran around it. One day someone came in through and started using those runs as a basis and created an interesting form of graffiti.
I didn't get the whole story but I still appreciated the surprising dedication to the artwork.
It was just a bird flapping it;s wings with feathers scattered around with each flap. If I stare at it hard enough I could most see the wings move.
Moving away from it I made my way to the exit that lead to the main club.
The place looked almost like it was a repurposed construction site until Daunt got his hands on it and refurbished it all to be at least safe enough so that someone who was dumb enough to side on one of the I beam gurders won't accidentally bring the entire club down with it.
Jumping over a railing and landing on the main dance floor that had LED flooring with supposedly 8 inch thick resin tiles, I casually rolled my way over to the Manager's office, getting up the stairs was semi easy with AT's but since i didn't really want to grind my way up there I took my time moving up the stairs my mind slightly clouded with options and plans on what to do now, how canon was going to supposedly retaliate to my inturuptions, as whether or not I should tell Rika what I know from how this world is a manga in my world and that Sora is a fucking outright dirt bag.
Kilik lost his goddamn mind thinking he's the only one capable of keeping the world as it is and lets not forget Spitfires death as well as the large scale masacures fucking Nike is doing, god somemuch to keep in and so little I can say.
"I wonder how Ikki would take my explanations, I wonder?" I mumbled to myself before opening the door and walked into to find the familiar room with paperwork thrown everywhere on the coffee table, Daunt sleeping his ass off on one of the couches and that desk that I have never once seen been used once in the whole three months of me working here, I wonder if Daunt actually uses it or not?
"Hmmmmm to think the Nevermore would grace my previous teammate with his presents 5 points." I froze, my body felt like I was stuck in a spot like a stone statue and I only know one person who can do that, well two but Nike isn't here. "So Mr Raven I've seen you have been having some intriguing headway talk about it shall we?"
Suddenly the chair behind the desk suddenly spun around and my eyes immediately narrowed at the person that sat behind the desk.
"Kilik… What are you doing here?"
Chapter 11 end
Ooooooooo thats right Kilik is here!
Next chapter is going to be a good one, but as I said before in the last chapter this will be the last chapter for a while cause as I said I need too pick myself and continue writing the other chapters as well as plan out somethings.
So just for all you now shit is going to get crazy a whole lot more sooner than what happened in Canon.
And with that this is Amvmaster logging off.
Laters!
