They are both staring at each other for a few seconds, completely silent. Then a smile creeps across the old man's face and he walks over to Shawn with his arms extended for a hug. Shawn fully embraces his father in a tearful hug almost crushing him. "Where have you been boy? I thought I'd never see your ass again!" His father exclaims. "I've been living my life daddy. I've missed you so much." Standing there holding each other for a minute, they finally break their hug away. Daddy brings his attention to the Japanese woman and the pale white girl in Richy's arms. "Who are these people?"
Shawn walks over to Akumi and wraps one arm around her waist and motions over to Richy to give Sasha to him, "I raised a family, Daddy. This is my fiancée, Akumi. This is my kid Sasha. We have another one coming too." Daddy looks over at Sasha, "This kid doesn't look like yours. What's with that?" Shawn picks up Sasha, "We adopted her Daddy. Just like you did to me." Daddy smiles at Sasha, "Your daddy is a good man lil' girl, be good for him ya hear," Daddy diverts his attention to Akumi, "And to this beautiful woman. You better be ready to take care of my boy, he takes a lot. Trust me I know. And you're Asian too, he always wanted to marry an Asian girl." Akumi blushes and places her hand on Shawn's chest out of pride, "Trust me half of the time he'll be taking care of me. By the way your son is an amazing cook." Everyone on the porch laughs at her comment. Daddy looks back at Shawn, "Why did you come back my boy? Do you need something or did you just miss your daddy?" Shawn places Sasha down and puts his hands in his pockets, "We need a place to stay for a bit. I'll explain later, 'Kay?" Daddy nods, "Of course you can stay here, and your family too. Come inside and have a seat, you look like you need it."
As Akumi enters the house a strong stench bombards her nose, it smells like freshly cut hedges. They both take off their shoes and leave them at the door. Shawn breaths it in as if he actually likes the smell. Akumi almost can't bear it, "What is that smell?" She whispers over to Shawn. They enter the living room and he shows her, "It's weed obviously. I bet you haven't tried it yet. C'mon over, sit down and have some." Richy sits down next to Shawn and he reaches behind his ear and pulls out something that looks like a rolled up piece of white paper. He passes it over to Shawn who then takes a lighter off the coffee table and lights the end on fire. Does Shawn smoke cigarettes? No it doesn't smell like a cigarette. It's something completely different. Shawn takes a pull from the rolled up piece of paper. He inhales it and exhales, coughing a bit afterwards. He motions for Akumi to sit down next to him, "This stuff is completely harmless, it just makes you feel good and calm. This is what's called a joint." Akumi takes a seat next to Shawn and pulls Sasha onto her lap. She takes the joint and inspects it. Finally she puts it up to her mouth and takes a pull out of it. Copying Shawn she inhales it deeply and exhales it. After coughing up a storm she looks over at Shawn, "Should we be doing this in front of Sasha?" Shawn plucks it out of her hand and passes it over to Richy, "I mean it's teaching her that it's harmless. Though we wont be letting her do it just yet, we gotta teach her that there's no detriment to her health by doing it. There are some people out there who think this stuff can kill you." Sasha is just sitting there watching the football game going on from the TV.
After a few more hits Akumi begins to feel the effects of the weed. She lays back on the couch and feels a sensation she has never felt before. Relaxation has flooded her body from head to toe as her vision begins to go wonky. Looking over at Shawn she starts to giggle for no reason. The giggles turn in to full fledged laughter as Shawn just stares at her. Sasha has already gotten up and positioned herself in front of the TV on the floor giving Akumi a free range of movement. Through her laughter Akumi attempts to speak, "What the hell is going onnn right now? Baby, you look really silly right now." Richy and Shawn both look at each other and begin to laugh, "Bro your fiancée is fucking hilarious!" Akumi who doesn't have full control over her body crawls on top of Shawn and mounts him from the front, "My mouth is really dry right now. Help me out will you?"
Before he answers she cups both of her hands on his face and locks lips with him. Shawn has his arms at his side in surprise. Quickly though he is released from his timidity and places his arms on her hips feeling her up and down. Akumi grabs one of his hands off her hips and places it on her butt urging him to squeeze it, "I know what you like baby." Shawn obliges her as his hands begin to roam her bottom half. Their tongues lock like snakes as Akumi begins to rock back and forth against Shawn. Richy is just sitting there next to them staring at the roof and pondering anything that comes into his mind. Shawn takes one hand off her bottom and diverts it to the front of her shirt. Slipping his hands inside he begins to pull it up revealing the bottom of her breasts. Akumi who has enough sense in her pulls back from their kiss and pushes his hand down, "Not now, wait for tonight." Shawn does as she says.
Sasha sees Shawn and Akumi distracted so she decides to use this opportunity to explore the house. It's not as bad as it looks on the outside, in fact it's pretty nice. The walls are a pretty orange color and it was fairly clean other than the kitchen, which was a mess of bowls and empty containers. Sasha walks upstairs and passes a few people talking on them. There is a hallway upstairs that lead to 3 rooms to the sides. There are a lot of people upstairs and they all stop talking once she gets up there. One of the men looks at her and exclaims, "Ey it's Lil Youngins daughter. What's up girl?" Sasha smiles and waves at all of them, "Hi. I'm just exploring the house." One of the guys motions over to her, "I wanna introduce you to my son. He's about your age I think." He points at a room and Sasha inches the door open and peeks inside.
Inside there is an African American boy playing on a PS4 laying down on the bed. His skin is like the color of peanut butter and his face is slightly round. He isn't fat, but he isn't skinny either. He is sporting a small Afro. Not noticing Sasha he continues to play his game as she tip-toes inside hoping to surprise him. Sasha makes it to the back of the bed. Without warning she jumps and bellyflops onto the bed, startling the boy so much he falls off the bed. "What the hell was that?!" The boy exclaims on the floor. Sasha crawls over to the side of the bed and looks down at the boy, "Hiya! I'm Sasha! What's your name?" The boy stands up abruptly and huffs at her, "You don't need to know that. Now get out before I call my dad!"
Sasha sticks out her tongue, "Oh yeah? I bet my dad can beat up your dad!" The boy gives an extremely exaggerated laugh in her face, "MY dad was a Marine! I bet your dad was some loser or something." A smile creeps across Sasha's face, Oh kid you have no idea how little that matters. But instead of saying what she was thinking she decides to hold back. She knows that Shawn and Akumi are some of the most highly trained killers on the planet, but she also knows that she wasn't supposed to tell anyone. Just like with her real dad.
"Okay you win. Your dad beats mine. Whatcha playing?" The boy picks up the controller and points at the screen, "NBA 2k20. It's one of my favorite games ever." Sasha sits next to him and looks at the screen intently. After about 5 minutes of silence she gets bored, "Why not just play real basketball? Why do this when you could have more fun actually going outside." The boy sets down the controller, "I don't wanna get all sweaty, and besides," he looks down in embarrassment, "I'm not all that good at basketball." Sasha hears this and grabs his wrists yanking him off the bed, "C'mon lets go play! Or are you scared?" The boy puffs out his chest, "I'm not scared of anything! Just you wait I'll mop the floor with you!"
Sasha upon hearing this accepts his challenge and leads him out the room, passing the men in the halls the boy looks at one and says, "I'm goin' out pop. This girl wants to play some basketball." The man looks down and nods, "Go on." Sasha and the boy make their way to the backyard where there is a concrete patio with a hoop built in the back. They pass Akumi and Shawn making out on the couch and Sasha does a fake gag, "That's my dad and mom. They like to kiss a lot." She opens the door and picks up a basketball from the side. The boy looks back at Shawn and Akumi and then at Sasha, "Those aren't your parents. You're white, they're black and Asian." Sasha does a few dribbles in between the legs, "They adopted me. My real dads dead." She passes it over to the boy and he goes up for a layup but misses the hoop, "Dammit! I told you I'm really not that good at hoops." He passes it back to Sasha and she does the exact same layup, making it in. The boy frowns. Sasha walks over to him with the ball tucked under her arm, "I can help you if you want. On one condition." The boy looks up at her and squints, "What condition would that be?" Sasha chest passes it to him, "Tell me your name."
"DeMarcus, my name is DeMarcus." Sasha beams with happiness, "That's a weird name. I'm going to call you Marcus, minus the 'de'." Marcus passes it back to Sasha, "Now what's your name? Probably something overly white like Brittany or Kelsey." Sasha shakes her head, "My name is Sasha!" Marcus' expression stays the same, but the crinkles around his eyes soften, "You look like a Sasha not gonna lie." Sasha puffs her cheeks out in annoyance, "What is that supposed to mean?" Marcus shrugs, "I dunno I just thought that sounded mean enough to make you quit. Obviously it didn't." Sasha blows a raspberry at him in annoyance.
Sasha is teaching Marcus some ball control right now. She notices that he puts too much force behind his dribbles causing them to go up to his chest, "Stop putting that much force behind your dribbles. You want it up to your hips, not your chest," She takes the ball from him and demonstrates how high it needs to go, "Now you try." Marcus catches her pass and starts to dribble. Sasha notices improvement in his dribbling, "Good, good. Keep it up to your hips or to your stomach nowhere else." Marcus begins to do some between the legs, and actually succeeding.
Next Sasha demonstrates some layups, "Aim for the box right above the hoop. Anywhere in that box and you'll more often than not make it. Also try to make layups on your dominant side. If you happen to be on your non-dominant side just put it up like so." Sasha demonstrates by running up to the hoop and just tossing it up, simple as that. Marcus nods, "I think I understand now. Lemme try." Sasha seems to be a good teacher because he flawlessly makes each layup every time."
When he is done demonstrating what he has learned Sasha squeals and claps her hands in excitement, "There ya go! Maybe tomorrow we can 1v1." Marcus grins, "Yeah lets do it! Meet me back here at 1:00 PM and we can play." Sasha gives him a thumbs up. They practice for a few more minutes until Akumi opens the sliding glass door behind them, "Sasha come inside we have to talk." Upon hearing this Sasha groans but complies. Leaving Marcus outside.
