Pretend Relatives

Chapter 2

When Alex got home he saw the glow of the television through the front window. He went to the door and slowly turned the knob then slipped his shoes off and snuck into the living room. He could see a bit of brown hair over the edge of the couch, the television was tuned to some crime show. Quietly he put his shoes down and just as he was about to scare Janelle someone tackled him from behind. Spy instincts kicked in and he threw his attacker on to the couch and pinned her down.

Alex's eyes met her wide scared ones a brown haired baby doll lying near her head.

"I…I….It was just a joke….just a joke; to get back at you for this morning." Alex rolled off of her and groaned as he hit the floor. He quickly formed a plausible lie.

"Sorry, I have studied a lot of martial arts. It was a reflex action. Did I hurt you?" Janelle sat up and checked herself for broken bones by twisting different parts of her slowly. Flopping back onto the couch she hung her head of the edge so she could look at him.

"I'm okay nothing broken, but you scared the pee out of me. Gosh what are you some kind of ninja?" Alex sat up and leaned against the coffee table so he could face Janelle. She had no clue how close her guess was to who he really was.

"Is this the hair of a ninja?" He pointed to his dirty blond hair. Janelle reached out and tousled his hair.

"I don't know. I think a blond ninja could be cute." She stared off into space than an evil smile formed on her face. Alex reached out a smacked her on the back of her head.

"Ow that hurt ninja boy."

"Oh so now I'm ninja boy. Well if that is it than I need a mask." Janelle's face lit up and she jumped up from the couch almost stepping on Alex. He followed her as she ran up the stairs and into her new room, the guest room. After a few minutes of her going through her bags she came upon one that was filled with books ranging from thick hard backs to backwards manga books. A few other odds and ends were in the bag, in less than a minute her hands came out of the bag clutching a black scarf. She pushed Alex over to the bed and motioned for him to sit down.

Alex carefully sat down on the bed unsure of what was going on. The next thing he knew a black scarf was being wrapped around his head. After a few minutes of Janelle wrapping his head she went back over to her bag of books and grabbed a manga book out that had a ninja on the front or was it the back Alex couldn't tell.

She sat down on the bed and murmured to herself as she flipped through the pages. Alex got up and looked at his head wrapping in the mirror all he could see were his eyes the rest of his face was hidden in the folds of the black scarf. The book appeared next to his shoulder open to a page that had a ninja dressed all in black with a similar head wrapping as his. Janelle peeked over his other shoulder.

"There now you have a mask blond ninja boy. You and Youshira could be twins if it weren't for the fact that he has black hair and lives in Japan."

"Well now that I'm a ninja I need to do something ninja like." Alex looked around the room his eyes landed on Janelle putting her book away.

"I know what I will do. I will kidnap you." She turned around in shock and started to speak.

"Whaaa…." She didn't get a chance to finish because Alex had picked her up and was taking her into Ian's old office that had been converted into a library type area. He set her down in a chair and grabbed an electrical cord from a box in the corner. He tied Janelle to the chair then let out a muffled evil laugh. He had heard so many in his life he had been able to devise his own. A huge smile spilled over her face.

"Alex come on let me go. I still have unpacking to do." He got his face very close to hers and moved the black scarf away from his mouth, he edged closer to her ear.

"No." With that he slipped off the scarf and folded it setting it in his lap as he sat down on the floor in front of Janelle.

"What is your favorite pass time?" She looked over at him in shock

"What?!? You know you don't have to tie a person up just to ask what their favorite pass time is, come on let me go."

"Yes but its more fun this way and I know this way you won't kill me like you were going to earlier." She glared at him.

"Movies, books, and being around friends which is not a relationship you have any chance of having with me now ninja boy." Alex sighed than stood up and walked over to her and untied the cord. Just as she was released Janelle tackled him around the waist and straddled him.

"So ninja boy you had me but now I've got you. You got your request answered now it is my turn. No more comments about this morning ok? I'm not a slut and I didn't mean to be running around your house in my pajamas. I just have been having a few problems and sleep isn't coming easy also this stupid time change does not help at all." She rolled off of him a whispered almost so silently he couldn't hear her.

"Please."

"Sure Jan this morning never happened." When he said her name shortened Janelle sat bolt up her face masking over with a sort of sad lost expression. She started getting up and flied the room. A remark was said fleeting over her shoulder.

"I need to unpack now later ninja boy." With that she was gone Alex heard the door to the guest room close and Janelle move around the room. He sighed rolling over something was wrong with that girl more than her being insane there was something deep that would take some digging to find out.
