"And that's how we became the grand champions of Kras City." Daxter finished his story and the women around him started to giggle. They were dressed in grass skirts and tiny coconut bras. I rolled my eyes and interrupted my friend. "Ugh, Dax? Five minutes."
Daxter twitched his tail and sighed. "I know, I know. Gees. All work and no play, makes jak a dull boy." He got up and walked towards me. I grinned. "Good bye ladies."
The bar girls moaned and pleaded for our stay, but we left out anyway. After all we were on a mission. It was late Saturday night and the Destiny village's nightclubs and bars were full swing. "After this can we go to one the luaus?" Daxter asked as we turned down an alley. The rainbow sand glittered in the moon's green rays. "I miss the naughty osstel."
I smiled. "After this, sure. But we are calling home first."
"Deal. I wonder how the girls are doing. The girls remind me of Tess...so very, jiggly."
"Dude." I laughed. "You got problems."
"That's why we are friends."
Daxter chuckled. "Well that's why we are best friends. We both have problems, for example. I have a fashion sense."
Being on and a tropical Brink island its get pretty hot, so I brought some new clothes. Shorts and a white beater. I keep my goggles and red scarf, but replaced my boots with tennis shoes. I rolled my eyes. "Those girls didn't seem to mind. You know the ones who couldn't take their eyes off this beautifully chiseled ass." I laughed I flexed my bicep. Dax groaned. "EW."
I laughed again as I prompted myself on the brick wall. We were in the end of the alley.
I watched as Dax's ears twitched. "Time." He said narrowing his eyes. Just then a very drunken man stumbled down the path. His ears are long like most, but are pointing down. He was humming and he had a purse in his hands. He slumped down and started to rummage through the purse without knowing we are here.
"Stupid bitch." He said as he pulled out a voucher for 25 orbs. "She wasn't worth killing with this lousy cash. Oh
Well at the sex was great." He laughed. I narrowed my eyes. This guy was named Gy. Cyrus explained he was in the anti's just to get rich and be evil. Cyrus told us that viper doesn't trust him and he needs to be taken care of. Good riddance to bad rubbish. He clearly wasn't sorry for what he did, so neither would I be for what I'm about to do. I had this pent up for weeks. I lay awake at night trying to force myself to read Damas' journal, but to no prevail. I got to admit, dark was right. I was pissed off. Really pissed. So its time for a stress management.
"Don't over do it, jak." Daxter said hoping up on a trash can. He covered his eyes with his tail and covered his ears. Dax never liked the sound of ripping flesh. I walked towards the criminal, feeling my horns erect. My breathing fast and labored.
Gy looked at, obviously too drunk to understand the danger he was in. I grinned. "Gy, that doesn't look like yours." I pointed to the purse. He spat at my foot. "So fucking what? Who are?
You anyways?"
I have a lot of names, but you...can you call me dark." I was salivating at his quicken pulse. I was too far gone now. "Fuck off buddy." gy said shaky. I shook my head. "I can't. You see I have a girlfriend with a purse like that back home. I can't help but to think what if you were the sorry bastard to hurt my kiera." I leered in. he gasped. "Look, man, I don't even know a kier."
He pulled out his gun. I grinned at he emptied many rounds on me. I fell in mock defeat. And Gy stood over me. "Eco freak." He laughed looking down at me. "You're just a damn eco frea-"
I grabbed his throat. My claws embedded into his skin. His iris turned red and he tried screaming for help. Dear god, why? I had just planned on beating him to death, but the monster in me lusted over this. "Help?" I slammed him against the floor. He yelped as he hit the ground. Purple sparks clouded my vision as I pulled out my claws. "the ones you killed and hurt wanted help. But u never stopped." I laughed
"sorry daxter! I can't hold it...you might want to leave for the luau without me." I said suddenly between clenched teeth. Recognizing my human voice daxter turned his head around. Gy used the distraction to try to run but I caught and twisted his ankle back till I heard a snap. Gy's screams were muffled by my scarf. Daxter rolled his eyes and went back to covering his eyes and ears. "With you till the end bud. Right behind you...literally." He said slumping down into his ball. I grinned. Good friend. Even dark valued daxter, something hard to do. Getting a demon to like you.
"now where were we?" I asked Gy who was still yelping. I looked at the bone that was sticking out of his skin. "That my friend, the least of your troubles." I said as every violent instinct took over me
...
*back in Hevan City*
"what happened to the sexy blonde who used to bartend here?" Asked a customer. I smiled softly. "She left, but she left in my and my boyfriends' very capable hands err paws."
"Shame, she was a HOTTIE" the customer drunk up another mug of liquor. I just smiled and continued to wait on customers. It's been exactly 5weeks since the boys left. I missed my orange lighting dearly. Kirea seemed to be in shock with jak gone. She was outside fixing up some car she was working on like her life depended on it. I hurried up the last few people out the door. It's a long day and really wanted to work on my guns. Just then my communicator rung. I sighed and answered it with an unexcited tone.
"Hello?"
"Daxter!"
...yeah. Calm down babe, your nearly blew out my ear drum."
"oh whisker puss! It's so lonely without you! Are you ok? How's jak?"
"I missed you too Tessie bear. None of these dames don't come close to you." Daxter crooned and my heart melted. I love you."
"I love you too. So how many girls did you flirt with?" I asked coyly
Daxter hesitated then cleared his throat. "The important part is that the mission is coming along...except... Um can you put kiera on?"
I blinked "yeah."
I jumped down and dashed outside. kiera raised an eyebrow as she took the phone from me. She pressed a button making a hologram pop up. It was jak and kirea's voice went up four octaves. "Jak!"
"Hi babe."
I've missed you." They both said and I smiled. Ah, love.
"Jak? What's that smeared across your face?"
"...blood."
It was silent for a while. Jak slips much like an alcoholic recovered would slip if tempted with whine. "Oh." She said. "Are you?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just...a little dirty."
"A little?" Muttered daxter quietly. "Blood splatter all over the damn walls..."
I glad Ki didn't hear that.
"um, kirea?"
"Yes?"
"What does having a father feel like?" Jak looked down at his ruby hands.
"Like you're being protected. Even when you don't want to be." She smiled.
Jak nodded.
"Sig told me about the journal." I admitted sheepishly. Jak sighed. He wasn't a good talker, especially when it came to feelings. Could you blame him? I smiled at him softly. "My father was also a gunsmith. He died when he was charged with treason for supposedly forging guns for rebellion, but my father left me his journal too. I read it because it made me feel like daddy never left. He taught me how to make guns. I wish I still knew him. That I would still be his princess Tessilina." I wrinkled my nose at my full name. "My point is... What's to fear?"
Jak groaned. But nodded. "Thanks."
I nodded.
"I love you, jak." Kirea said. Jak perked up. A devilish smile.
"Do you my little Ki-Ki puss?" He was acting like daxter. Despite myself I giggled. Kirea grinned.
"Of course. Now come home soon so I can rub your...back."
"oh yeah." Jak chuckled.
"Thanks, girls, but duty calls." Daxter said suddenly. Jak nodded and gave us a sad little wave before shutting off the device.
"King Damas' journal huh? I wonder if Queen Aurora had a journal too." Kirea said out loud.
"How? How do you know about aurora?" I asked lifting a fuzzy eyebrow. Ki grinned. "You think all I can read are racing magazines. We have a great library with history books. I just wonder if jak has any idea about Damas' late wife."
I shrugged and climbed on her shoulder. I knew that if he didn't he would find out.
A/N ok soooo if you guys haven't read forgotten memories yet, now would be the best time. Aurora is my OC and she is fully explained in Damas' journal.
