Chapter 13
Taniya felt antagonism rush through her whole muscular body. How else would she feel when she found out that her little sister lost her virginity, well, at least that's what Bastion and Meg proclaimed. She swore that she would not rest until the two teens paid for their giant mistake. What if her younger sibling got pregnant? Taniya felt resentment towards the male race surge through her entire being. She should have watched over Megara with more care. What will mom and my other sisters say? Taniya worried. She sat beside Jaden and Alexis on the couch in the lobby. She overheard Chazz and Mindy start talking about the whole situation.
"Do you think that they really…" asked Mindy trailing off nervously noticing that Bastion's family was watching her conversation with Chazz.
"No," replied Chazz, "We're talking about Bastion. He's the definition of a gentleman."
Taniya sighed wondering if Chazz was right. As far as she knew, Bastion was a gentleman to the extreme. Taniya noted mentally it could all be a joke, a prank that Meg and Bastion pulled. She looked at Crowler who was mumbling about the situation and how the two teens were going to receive a load of detentions. The amazonness suddenly realized that Bastion and Meg had run off. If they elope, Taniya thought, I will kill them both without hesitation.
"Where do you think they went?" asked Taniya to Jaden who probably knew Bastion better than anyone else in the room, even better than Bastion's family. Suddenly, everyone's attention was directed at the Slifer.
"Tell us, Slacker," demanded the distraught Crowler. Jaden laughed thinking usually I am the one no one goes to for information, and now they are demanding it from me when I know nothing about this place.
"Maybe a school or something," replied Jaden giving Syrus a high-five. Taniya sighed noting the kid wouldn't know. How would he know if he didn't know the surroundings? It was at this time where Taniya wished she had her tiger and Meg had her panther. Then most definitely, the runaway couple could be tracked down, but that was not the case at the current moment.
"Dammit!" yelled Chazz who was a hopeless romantic (A/N: If you don't believe me, watch the Chazzanova episode or any episode where it was obvious that he was in love with Alexis.), "Let them be! If they want to run away together let them, it'd be the only way for Bastion to find true happiness." Some people stared in disbelief as they didn't expect them to go off on them. Mindy, who was in love with Chazz, was trying to resist all urges to explode into fits of her telling him that she was in love with the man in black.
Taniya laughed wondering if he was right about the whole mess. She figured that she was soon to find out so not to worry about it at the present moment. She looked over at Misawa's family who was not as relaxed about the situation as the amazonness was.
"We have to find them," proposed the mother, "We can't let Bastion end up with that harlot." Wesley sighed, annoyed at his mother's words, thinking this whole mess is such a drag. I need a good smoke right about now.
"You're right, mother dearest," said Raoul, "We must do something about this." The bad actor figured this was going to earn some brownie points, and then later he could have the hotel renamed after him.
"What is the point?" asked Wesley. Wesley wondered why they would bother after they disbanded Bastion from the family was beyond him.
"Don't you want the best for your brother?" asked the step-father who was set to kill somebody. He didn't particularly like the young prodigious genius, but he would do anything to make his lovely wife happy.
"Yes, but he's happy," replied Wesley receiving a blow from his step-father. Jasmine and Mindy stared in disbelief running to his aid. This family knows nothing about romance thought Jasmine helping Wesley up. Mindy stared at them angrily as she led Wesley to the couch where he was seated beside Chazz Princeton.
"He's happy!" yelled the step-father angrily, "I don't give a shit about that! He should learn from his mistakes!" Chazz closed his eyes, remembering his brothers making fun of him when he told them that he had gotten over Alexis and liked someone else, and how they flipped because she wasn't the ideal woman. Bastion better be doing something worth it swore Bastion or I swear he will feel a world of hurt, and not by me.
"Where would he go?" asked his mother forgetting that Bastion's biological father lived in London also.
"I don't know, mother," replied Raoul without hesitation, "I'll go check the Opera House." His mother nodded in approval and sent her eldest son on his way. Wesley tried to stand up, but was stopped by Chazz.
"This isn't your business," Chazz snarled, "and if you care about Bastion then you'll let him do whatever. He's in love; I know that because he did what none of any of you losers dared to do. So, you will do nothing." Wesley nodded in fear of what the pale-faced boy was going to do.
"You didn't need to be rude," said Mindy to Chazz after he commanded Wesley. Chazz shrugged it off, but at least she wasn't telling him what to do. They looked over at the rest of the angry family.
"I'll check at the church. Maybe they went to confession," said the mother, "John," she said directed her attention to her husband, "You'll go to the Big Ben. Angel and Wesley will run the hotel while we're gone." The rest of the family went to their stations, not knowing where Bastion and Meg had run off to.
Meanwhile, Meg and Bastion had reached a small house in a neighborhood about a mile or two away from the hotel. Bastion pulled out his keys and unlocked the front door. Bastion thought my dad won't mind one bit that I came to visit, and he'd probably have some advice for us. A tall figure with sad blue eyes and slicked dark gray hair with broad shoulders ran to meet his son.
"Bastion! What are you doing here?" asked the excited father embracing his son that he hadn't seen since he was nine-years old. He was dressed in a dirty lab coat and black pants. "Get in here."
"Thanks Dad," answered Bastion leading Meg inside the small house. Meg's eyes glistened in the dim light. The room was lit by lamps and some candles. She had never seen a sane member of the Misawa family before, and he looked normal enough.
"So who's this, and why aren't you in school?" asked Bastion's father curiously but far from condescending tone that welcomed both of them and their relationship. Bastion smiled as he put an arm around Meg warmly.
"Dad, this is Meg. She's my girlfriend. We're in England for a field trip, but we were staying at Mom's hotel, and things turned into a bit of a mess," explained Bastion. His father let out a small laugh figuring that would probably happen knowing his ex-wife was a psycho bitch.
"A bit of a mess is the understatement of the century," added Meg remembering Raoul's stupidity and accusations. She was going to ruin his life one way or the other someway.
"That sounds like it," answered Bastion's dad, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Meg. I hope you won't fear me because of the rest of the clan." He gave Meg a warm handshake.
"Don't worry," replied Meg, "You're too much like your son to make me scared at all." The father nodded approvingly. Of course my son has good taste in women, he is smarter than most people in the world noted Bastion's father.
"So what may I help you with?" asked the paternal figure. Bastion explained how the crazy family and Meg's sister is probably either going to kill them or separate them for life, and they needed to get back to Duel Academy or go into hiding even though Bastion was disbanded from the family.
"That is a dilemma," agreed Bastion's father. He left the room quickly and handed Bastion two boat tickets.
"You two most likely will have trouble returning to Duel Academy, but this is a boat ticket to Domino, Japan. You need to get to Kaiba Corp and explain the situation. He can get you home. The next boat leaves in three days. So the rest of your classmates should still be here. I can hold of the plane, remember, I am an inventor. You two cannot stay in one place. You can stay here until tomorrow, but the more you stay in one place, the more likely you'll get caught," explained Bastion's father after thinking over the matter.
"What about our stuff?" asked Bastion, "It's all at the hotel?"
"I'll get it tonight, trust me. Wesley and I still have a bit of a connection so he'll let me get your things. He'll give me your room number," his father explained calmly.
"We'll be fine," said Meg trying to reassure her boyfriend and herself. She was going to have to be ready for the adventure that was ahead of them.
Mew Kazurinu: Well, an adventure awaits our heroes. I love this fanfic so far and I hope you do too.
