"Do you have to follow me back to the tower?" Kiko asked.
"I just want to meet your friends." Daniel said.
The two were in a way arguing about meeting the rest of the team. Finally Kiko gave up and they walked to the tower.
"Okay, you can stay for a maximum of three minutes. That's it." Kiko said.
"Alright Kik. Don't get your hair in a knot." Daniel said.
-o-
Everyone minus Tech was in the living room when they heard the elevator binged. They saw Kiko and a avian they never met before.
"Hey Kiko, who's your friend?" Ace asked.
"This is Daniel Roader my…" Kiko started to think of a way not to reveal the ex relationship with him, "…Brother-in-law."
Everyone looked at her crazy.
"It may seem hard to believe, but my sister is married her brother." Daniel said breaking the tension. "Kiko and I have been knowing each other since…how much, about seventeen years now."
"Why - did - she - marry - him?" Raphl asked.
"Because they both love each other. I mean people don't get married if they don't love each other." Daniel answered.
"And - your - parents - are - okay - with - it?" Harriet asked.
"Oh course. Well my adoptive parents are okay with it. I don't know how my biological parents would think." Daniel said a little sad.
"I'm sorry." Lexi said catching his drift.
"It's okay. I know their in a happy place now." Daniel feeling a little better. "I became a orphan with my brother and sister at the age of 7 in Africa. We were adoptive by a couple coyotes that…"
"Hold - it," Raphl interrupted, "I- thought -I- just - heard - you - say - you - were - adopted -by-coyotes."
'Here we go.' Kiko thought while rolling her eyes.
"Yeah. I was adopted by coyotes. I know there have been coyote and roadrunner issues, but the people who ran the orphan home went ahead and adopted us. They said because it would be a good way to end all the issues, but honestly I think they did because we were trouble makers." Daniel explained.
"Was - the - life - style - hard?" Harriet asked with concern.
"No. Of course not. My adopted dad Abel Roader was a preacher and my adopted mom Chelsea Roader was a principle at the elementary school. They are really great parents who took really good care of us. And honestly, if we never gotten adoptive me and this hot girl wouldn't met."
'Fuck no!' Kiko thought.
Everybody became silent again.
"Did you just call her…" Duck was saying a little uneasy.
"Hot. Well yes I did. Kiko and I once da…"
"Oh look at the time three minutes passed." Kiko interrupted nervously. "Daniel has to go now." She was then pushing him towards the door. "Bye Daniel." She said closing the door behind him. Kiko then walked to the corridor trying to ignore the stares. "Don't look at me like that." She said passing by.
-o-
Kiko was relaxing in her room meditating trying to balance herself out till she heard a knock on the door. She got up and walked towards the door. When the door slid she saw Rev.
"What brings you here?" Kiko asked.
"Well - I - was- pretty- bored,- but- everyone- was-busy- so -I- thought - we- could... you-know…do - something." He said a little shy.
"Like what?" Kiko asked.
"Well,- maybe - we- can- play - chess." Rev answered.
Kiko started to think a bit. "Well I was getting tired of beating Tech. Sure why not?" Kiko said.
"Great." Rev said walking past her with the chess board.
"Whoa, where do you think your going?" Kiko said pulling his tail back out her room. "My room is off limits. Why don't we go to the living room?"
"Okay." He replied.
-o-
It was their third and final game. Kiko have won one and Rev has on the other. They both only had four players left.
As Kiko was waiting for Rev's turn to be over she heard the elevator binged. It opened up to… Rev's dad.
Glaring a bit she looked at the board when it was her turn. As she was trying to figure how to make a checkmate Raphl interrupted.
"Never - thought - a - coyote - played - chess." He said.
Kiko stopped but didn't bothered to look up. It was like this when it came to Rev. Once you look at them eye to eye there was no escaping. Trying to relax she sighed and picked up her queen. Anxious to make the move she did, before she sat it down she noticed she would've lost, so she put the queen back a step and went the other way.
"Checkmate." She finally said with a small grin.
Rev looked at the boared including Raphl.
"Great-job-Kiko." Rev said.
"Thanks, you were great too. Your the only person who actually won a game with me." Kiko said. She then got the box and started putting the game up.
"So,- your - just - letting - her - win." Raphl asked looking at Rev.
'Control yourself Kiko.' Kiko thought.
"We - played - three - games.- I- won- one- she- won- twice.-We- were - only - playing - three." Rev said.
"Let- me- play- a- round." Raphl said.
"What?" Kiko and Rev both said in the same time.
"I- said - let- me- play - a- round." He said again.
"Okaaay." Kiko said getting the game back out the box.
-o-
"Checkmate." Kiko said after their game.
Raphl looked at the board and said, "You - must - have - cheated."
"No I didn't." Kiko said getting a little pissed.
"I-think-you-did." He countered.
"Ya know, for a grown man you sure are immature." Kiko retaliated getting up before leaving.
Not that bad on the chapter ending. I got SO much to do for this story.
