Spitfire hung up his phone and pulled out his phone to call Akina since she was Ra- knows- where in the store. When she didn't pick up he opened his tracker to trace where Akina was, Ha! The art aisle he should've known!
As he rushed over there he stopped when he saw some employees trying to put out a fire, shrugging it off as a reckless child he continued to the art aisle, only to stop when he saw Yami painting on the tile floor and Akina making paper animals, bags of candy, pop and energy drinks surrounding them.
"What the -?" He yelled making Akina, covered in glitter with a small heart stamp near her eyes look up at him. "Came to join the party, Ice King?" she laughed at her joke; Yami looked up a temporary tattoo on his cheek of a flower. "Come to the dark side, Spitfire." They chorused creepily, before they laughed crazily. Spitfire blinked before taking a deep breath to calm him.
"Akina love." She ignored him in favor of shoving her hand into a bag of animal crackers, "Love." Akina picked up a stray dart from not even Ra knows where she threw it at Spitfire, who ducked. "Bulls eye!" she yelled, jumping up when she saw her dart in the center of the board.
Spitfire stood up straight- his reflexes should be faster after all Akari does the same dart thing to everyone back in her office, sometimes you have to think of where she hides the dang thing before walking in. "Akina." Ok now Spitfire's getting tired of being ignored, either she hears the news or not, he doesn't care anymore!
"Akari's awake." And Akina was up, knocking the open glue and glitter tube onto the floor, Yami was up; knocking over the paint bottles he was surrounded with, making a colorful masterpiece.
"What are we still doing here then?" They yelled, running right through the paint and glitter, leaving a paint trail as they ran for the exit, Spitfire shook his head happy he paid for the food and Akari's new clothes before he came and got them.
Akina came back, Yami trailing behind her; she grabbed Spitfire thinking he was taking too long and drag him though the paint, so Spitfire's clean black shoes now smudged with blue paint made a purple trail out of the store. Did he mention security and management were waiting for them at the exit? Yeah, they weren't so happy with Akina's idea of fun; making a fire in the camping department's fire pit, calling a code 3 in housing, dying a dog's fur green. Spitfire didn't blame them for being mad, good thing they shut up when they found out he was the leader to the most powerful gang in the world and Akina was the second leader's identical twin.
To Akina's happiness she didn't get banned from Wal-Mart, in fact they told her she could come back whenever she wanted! Poor Spitfire took one look at the bill and sighed- Akina and Yami had just broken Akina and Akari's record at how much they could break at Wal-Mart and how much it would cost Spitfire, by 1,000 dollars.
In the car Akina leaned back in her seat letting her mind drift off to happier times for both her and her twin sister.
~ Akina's memories
A 5 year old Akina and Akari laughed as they played in the desert sand when Tony came to get them. "Come on you two, mom and dad are ready to take you to school." The twin's looked at each other, uncertain before taking their big brother's hands and being lead to the car where 3 almost 4 year old Akane lay in her car seat fast asleep.
"She was taking her nap." Tony whispered, making the twins giggle and let their parents put them in the car. Akina and Akari were busy singing to random songs on the radio, trying to make Sakura angry when their mom laughed as they pulled into the school.
Victoria turned in her seat to look at her kids, "I think our little terrible two-some will give those poor teachers a run for their money!" She laughed getting out of the car and unbuckling the twins.
Akina looked up at her mom, "Mommy, what's a tribal two-come?" She asked. Sakura shook her head disapprovingly. "It is terrible two-some, you idiot." She snapped, earning a slap upside her head by Tony, who was taking a sleepy Akane out of the car. "Ibiot." Akane yawned, rubbing her blood red eyes. Akina and Akari laughed, both picking up Akane's plush puppet they got her for her 2nd birthday.
"Here you go, Akane!" They chorused, before they held their mother's hands. Clad in identical boy sailor uniforms they walked into the school. A lady wearing a dark blue dress smiled as they walked in.
"Are these two Akina and Akari?" She asked smiling as the twin's shyly hid behind their mother's legs. Arthur nodded proudly, pushing them forward gently, "This is Akina." He patted Akari's head. "And this is Akari." He patted Akina's head. Victoria shook her head smiling as the twin's huffed and crossed their arms clearly angry at their father.
"No," She got to the twin's level soothing Akina's hair. "This is Akina." She repeated the action with Akari's hair. "And this is Akari." Arthur slapped his forehead. "I knew that!" He shook his head and Tony put a hand on his father's shoulder. "I didn't know that." Arthur looked at his daughters. "I'm sorry girls it's just you're so identical." The twin's looked at each other before looking at their mother.
"Your husband-," Akari started. "Needs mental help." Akina finished, Victoria laughed. "I love how you guys pawn him off as only mine when he does something stupid." Arthur glared at his wife, "You're the one who needs mental help, Victoria."
Victoria glared at her husband standing with her hands on her hips, the twins mimicked their mother. "I went through 4 pregnancies- all 5 your children, hours of pain and I had you on your knees just by holding your hand!" Arthur opened his mouth to retaliate, but Victoria held up her hand. "And I didn't freak out or faint when I found out I was carrying twins- identical none the less." Arthur bowed his head, knowing he was cornered.
Akina remembered that day because Akari and she buried the teacher's cell phone and car keys in the sandbox, but time out was worth it when they started at cookie dough fight with the two knew friends they made!
Akina was woken from her daydream by Spitfire, who picked her up and it was then that Akina realized just how tired she was from all the sugar and allowed Spitfire to carry her into the building and up the elevator to Akari's room.
Gently, Spitfire placed Akina on the ground and she walked over to her sleeping sister. "She passed out when the doctor came in." Akane informed, not looking up from her book. Akina stared at her before shrugging and climbing in next to Akari and fell asleep, Yami barely made it to the couch before he was out. "How can he be so tired?" Atem asked, "Well Akina has energy equal to Akari and they were hyped up on sugar and energy drinks when I found them." Spitfire stated. Atem nodded before pointing to Yami's check, "But what's that?" Spitfire sighed, some people were just stupid.
"That is called a temporary tattoo and Akina probably talked Yami into it when he was under the influence of sugar to wear it." Yugi, Marik and Malik laughed while Atem sighed.
When it was quiet Akane told Spitfire that the dresses were done and out of the way along with hairstyles, Spitfire sighed in relief he didn't have to run around saying what parts of what dresses he liked and what he was thinking of for the design.
As Spitfire relaxed, he was set on edge when he found out what happened to Akari's car. "What do you mean blown to pieces?" Spitfire yelled, "Akari loves that car!" He paled as he watched the sleeping twins. "She's going to be out for blood when she remembers what happened." Everyone in the room looked horrified at Akari who slept about rainbow and glitter unicorns' tango dancing.
Victoria cut Akina's hair as she slept so they didn't have to freak out about not being identical because of Akari's haircut; she threw the hair away in a nearby bin before seeing Arthur staring at her. "What? Those two will be screaming for hours unless they look alike- not to mention Akari's going to be yelling for hours when she sees she in a hospital gown." Sakura sighed. "They can suck it up, it's time they stop playing the who's who game they play." Akane scowled.
"I like that game- guess right and a get a laptop or a ticket to the Puppets of the World Convention!" She smiled; Sakura frowned and held up a flyer, "Don't you want to go to Glitter Con. With me and Tea?" Sakura glared when she saw their step sisters beam, "And those idiots." She finished.
Akane looked horrified, "Mom, Sakura's acting like a mom the depths of the underworld again!" Victoria glared at Sakura.
"Sakura Lyn Gale, how many times have I told you not to be a brat or create your sisters' into something they can't be?" She then rounded on Arthur, "You encourage her behavior- when I let you take them you promised not to let her act like that!" Arthur tried to explain when the nurse rushed in. "Which one's Akari?" She asked urgently as the doctor ran into her, "The left one." Spitfire answered the nurse nodded and turned her over opening the back of her gown to show her back. "You don't believe me that those are two degree burns and that she's fine?" She hissed taking out some numbing oil on Akari's burned back making her whimper.
"Ok, I need you guys to rub this stuff on her back every 4 to 6 hours so she doesn't feel any pain." Spitfire nodded, and took the three tubes of numbing gel as she walked out.
"I wonder when we get to take her home." Arthur stated sitting on the bed Akina and Akari woke from the added weight to the bed, but fell back asleep.
Tea looked at the bed the twins slept on. "Why are they on a king sized bed?" She asked, Spitfire spoke. "She's a V.I.P which means she gets immediate and the best care- so she gets a private room and a custom bed." Tea looked at him. "I don't think that's fair- "
Spitfire shook his head. "When you work in the most famous gang in the world you treat them like royalty or pay the price. Especially when the injured is the Queen- most fear for their jobs because of the stories about her." Atem nodded. Tea went to speak but Akina and Akari woke, "Turn that thing down." They growled before taking the blanket the throwing them over their heads, the occupants of the room looked at them like they were strange before they both growled.
"TURN THAT THING DOWN!" Spitfire stared at them before he looked at Akane who turned the TV down; when he heard the twins sigh happily he knew that's what they wanted. "How did you know that's what they wanted?" Akane stared blankly at him as the others watched her waiting for her answer; she opened her mouth and said. "I honestly don't know- I guessed."
The twins both sat up and to everyone's amazement their hair wasn't the same length in fact, Akina's hair was longer then Akari's and their bangs were different lengths. Looking at each other they screamed, "MOM! HELP, HELP!" Victoria pushed Arthur off the bed and looked at her girls frantically.
"What are wrong dears?" The twins were sobbing and hugging each other tightly. "WE'RE NOT IDENTICAL!" They hiccupped tightening their hold on each other, Spitfire took the scissors and started cutting Akari's hair so it was more even, and then he moved so he was cutting Akina's hair shorter. After that he tapped Akari's shoulder making her looked at him then he cut her bangs. He did the same to Akina before making them both look at him, a few more snips and then he stepped back letting everyone see what he did.
Akina and Akari looked at each other and beamed. "WE LOOK IDENTICAL!" They yelled hugging each other happily, when some familiar music played the twins' heads snapped over to the TV, "OMG its Lala Loopsy!" Victoria shook her head those two could be so random- or bipolar.
Sakura blocked her sisters' view of the TV commercial making them frown, Sakura looked both of them in the eyes before she stated proudly. "You both don't look identical-"
Victoria told Sakura to shut up. "In fact your eye colors don't look the same at all." Akina and Akari looked at each other. "What color are my eyes?" Akina asked. "Blue. Mine?" "Green." With that they both screamed. "MOM!" Victoria started petting the Twins' heads telling them to be calm.
"It's probably Keri who's using Akari's eyes for right now so hers should rest from the explosion." Those words didn't calm the two at all. It just made them cry harder. "Hey!" Spitfire called gaining their attention even though they sobbed and hiccupped. "How about I go to the store and get you some LALA Loopsy's you want so much?" They sniffed, but nodded still crying as he walked out of the door.
Yami woke a minute later stretching and yawning, he saw Akari was awake and went to her putting his hand on the back of her head; he hugged her, not wanting to hurt her. Akari looked at him through her green eyes, Yami blinked before he said. "Your eyes are green." Akari hiccupped, but then Yami leaned in and whispered. "I like your blue eyes better." Akari blushed ducking her head, "Down, Jester of Bunnies." Akina stated, looking at the TV, Akari copied her older sister and watched the TV; unknown to her that her eyes had turned back to blue. When the commercial ended for the Lala Loopsy dolls the twins started chanting. "We want Lala, we want Lala!" Akane rolled her eyes. "Spitfire just went to get you some." She said dully, Akane stood and walked over to the door. "I'm hungry- I'll be in the cafeteria." Yugi stood stating he was coming too and followed her out.
Soon everyone was standing saying that they were hungry and left to go to a restaurant saying Akane was in charge of the twins along with Yugi. Yami stayed back to make sure Akari didn't escape from her window or Akina try to smuggle Akari. "I won't leave." Akari stated, watching Yami pull out some pajamas from a bag and handed them to Akari. "Go change." Akari did as she was told and walked over to the bathroom with some help from Yami and got changed, the blue and black plaid pants and a blue tank top that said, 'Guns or ninja's don't kill people- gaping holes in eternal organs kill people.' After being laid down on her side, she fell asleep Akina following her.
Yami stayed up for a minute before he too fell asleep… at the foot of the bed.
~Akane and Yugi.
Akane walked around finding what she wanted, Yugi beside her, holding the tray. "You're taking this well." He spoke, watching Akane pick out some cake, Akane looked at him. "Taking what well?" she asked, filling up their drinks- hers coke and his root beer.
"Akari's accident." Akane shook her head, "What's to take well? She was burned in a car explosion- but I guess that's her fault." She laughed, walking up the meat and grabbed a sandwich. Yugi looked at her curiously. "How's it her fault?" He questioned, trailing behind her as she walked to the register. "You don't want to get more?" Akane shook her head and walked to a table, putting the lunch on Akari's credit card. "Where'd you get her card?" He asked, Akane grinned as she sat down. "Her room." Yugi was about to ask when she cut him off. "I grabbed it while she was downstairs with Seto and Mokuba." She stated.
Yugi nodded and ate his lunch before asking. "But how's it her fault?" Akane looked at him tilting her head before she realized what he was asking and answered. "Akari made enemies- but being the queen of the most feared gang in the world; it can't be helped. She makes enemies faster than some could spell Mississippi River backwards or say the alphabet backwards." Yugi laughed. "That is true, she did make enemies with Tea on her first day- the first hour even!" Akane laughed and it was the first time Yugi ever heard it, 'She has a great laugh- maybe I should make her laugh more often.' Yugi thought before he ate his pudding.
"By the way, did you finish your play for Drama?" Akane asked, Yugi nodded. "You?" He asked, Akane replied saying she did. "What's yours about?" Akane questioned, leaning forward as she slipped her drink. "It's about games- the hero in the story wants to be free or be human and away from the evil magician, but as he goes on his journey to be free from the game, he meets a puppet and falls in love. He learns that the puppet is going be sold and he takes her with him, but some dangerous events take place." Akane blinked, before she smiled. "I like it." Yugi blushed, before he coughed nervously.
"What's yours about?" He asked, diverting the subject of his play, Akane smiled happily. "Puppets, it's a little like Pinocchio and how he wants to be a real boy, but mine is about a princess puppet who wants to be a real girl and to be free from marring an evil puppet, named Rico. The girl falls in love with the puppet master's grandson, who comes every weekend to help build puppets for her kingdom. The boy loves her, but thinks of her as an object; not a person. In the middle the princess is given the gift from twin witches to be with her love, and in the end the boy realizes the girl he's with is the puppet."
Yugi beamed. "I wanna read it." Akane blushed, looking down at her hands. "I-I don't that's a good idea besides I- l lost it…Yeah, I lost!" Akane stated, embarrassedly.
Yugi sighed, "But I really wanted to read it!" He whined, Akane shook her head. "Sorry." Yugi sipped his drink before he stated. "Why don't we go see a movie today- my treat?" Akane blushed. "S-sure why not?" Akane yelled at herself inwardly for stuttering as they dumped their garbage and went to see a movie.
Akari and Akina were sleeping peacefully when Akari was awoken by her cell phone; she sat up and grabbed it from the bedside table. "How you survived the fire I will never know- I guess I was right you can survive anything." Yami woke to her voice; he stared at her before he asked. "What has it survived?" She looked at him and grinned. "Shootings, being thrown out a 10 story window, fires, the washing machine, zoo animals, being dropped from the roof of a building and my anger, Akina's angry, and Keri." Yami stared before he started laughing; Akari read the text she got from Akane.
"Went to the movies with Yugi- be back later." Akari read, she typed absentmindedly saying what she was writing. "Ok, be back before mom gets back." Akane sent a text back quickly. "Ok. I have a question, what do I say? And what movie do we see?" Akari blinked. "Just talk." "This conversation never happened." Akane replied. "What conversation? Oh yeah this one- erased from my memory." Akari replied, laying back down.
"You know, I heard your conversation with Akane." Akari glared at him. "You will see it wise to keep your mouth shut Yami- or I'll reconsider you being my escort to the ball and going to the movies with you." Yami shut his mouth instantly. Akari pointed to her laptop. "Bring it here." Obediently, Yami picked up the blue electronic and brought it over setting it on Akari's lap. She begun typing and when Yami tried to see what she was doing he realized she put it in a different language preventing him from spying. "No peeking." Akari sang, wondering what Akane was doing.
Akane's opinion of the movie was it sucked, sure she was with Yugi and she really wanted to see that movie, but some people wouldn't let her enjoy it! They were talking and texting and Akane just wanted to have a peaceful movie with Yugi, but No!
When you mess with Akane Gale's movies you mess with Akane Gale and that's a big No-No. "Yugi can you pass the popcorn, I'm feeling… snacky." Yugi nodded and passed the popcorn. Akane poured her nachos, licorice, Junior Mints and Recess into the bowl, Yugi watched her mixing them up, waiting to see what she was going to do…he got his answer when Akane dumped the concoction onto the girls in front of them.
The girls squealed in surprise and they turned and glared at Akane who spoke. "Can you keep it down some people are trying to watch a movie." They stood blocking Akane's view. "Did you just dump that crap on us?" They shouted, the girls received a few hisses telling them to shut up, Akane shook her head. "Nope, I didn't." She pointed to the dude next to her who was tall and muscular. "He did."
The man looked at her confused; he gulped when he saw her red eyes flash daring him to deny her word. He puffed out his chest. "I did so what are you going to do about it- I'm trying to watch a movie with my girl and you brats keep talking, so shut up!" The girls gasped, but stopped when security came and hauled them out.
The crowd cheered seeing them leave and they all settled down to watch the movie, Akane was surprised when Yugi put his arm around her shoulders, blushing Akane leaned into Yugi sighing. She'll tell the twins about this later…after all they could keep secrets.
I Had to do that Yugi X Akane at the end, cuz since my sister helped me with my english homework. (Make a powerpoint about a song for A Poem is a song) I chose Katy Perry's song Firewor,k and since she had to help me with the slid show, i agreed to do a little fluff for her. (she did get me an A+ on the project plus, mine was better then anyones because i had moving pics and my slid show moved on its own- i also had the music on it!)
Thanks to all my fans i love you so much! i'm almost at 20 chaps can you believe it? My sister has been literally yelling at me to finish this chap! She started begging a week ago to read it- i wouldn't let her see it because i was so proud of this chap she had to wait until the end.
