Sooo since I don't really have much to say I suppose we should just start huh? :)

Adriel now lives with Jak, Daxter, and Kida. Everyone has met him and now Kida is caught up in the recent events that have happened. Baron still has the Precursor Stone while Baby Boy is still missing..~

I do not own Jak and Daxter the game/series or its characters. Only my own characters or events that are mine are indeed mine.

Enjoy!

"She's asleep!"

"That doesn't mean you stand there like a creep!"

"Oh, I'm the creep. Who turns into a animal? Oh that's right…the dark eco freak."

I heard a growl and suddenly Jak's voice got louder in my head.

"Kida has the same problem," he spat. I heard a chuckle and recognized it as Adriel.

"That's where you're wrong, Eco Boy. I've been there…I've seen everything inside Lady Kida's mind and there is no dark eco part in her mind."

"It's isn't he power."

"She doesn't want power!"

I exhaled and sat up. This was pissing me off. I didn't exactly care what they were fighting over..what I did care for was the fact that they were fighting at eight in the damn morning!

Moving off of the bed I ran a hand through my hair. It wasn't until I got to the living room that I snapped.

"Are you serious! You're really going to do this first thing in the morning?"

Adriel and Jak both stared at me with wide eyes and Daxter popped up from behind Jak's shoulder lightly.

"Good, uh, morning, Ki," he said smiling sheepishly. I glared at him annoyed and Adriel jammed his thumb in the direction of Jak.

"Okay well in my defense he woke me up," he stated bluntly. I raised a brow at Jak who shook his head rolling his eyes.

"That isn't true. I woke up and when I walked out he was standing outside of the door," he said looking at the male as if he were disgusted.

I sighed rubbing the bridge of my nose as they began arguing. It was times like this I really wished Jak was a mute again. Hell, I'd go for Adriel to be a mute.

I saw Adriel indeed did get a change of clothes. He now wore what looked like cargo jeans that were strapped with boots and two gun holsters. He had on a tan sleeveless shirt and tight suspenders with arm bands.

"Alright knock it off," I said looking at them.

They both looked at me again and stopped yelling. It was clear Jak was about ready to rip Adriel's head off and I could literally feel the hatred Adriel bore for the other male.

I held up my hands before putting one on my waist, shifting my weight.

"You both are very important and I love you both to death but right now I'm not in the mood to deal with you. You two can't get along then you can both get the hell out."

Adriel blinked and Jak let his mouth fall open. I saw Daxter quickly jump off when they both started yelling at me about the other. I covered my ears quickly and squeezed my eyes shut before looking at them both.

"Shut the fuck up!"

They both blinked and I pointed at Adriel, "Knock it off I know you are the one starting this!"

Adriel put his hands up, "How do you know it's me!"

I rolled my eyes as if he were stupid.

"Because, Adriel, I can feel you're enjoyment and accomplishment to this situation," I said glaring. He stopped and blinked and I nodded. Then Adriel smirked slowly.

"Maybe I'm just enjoying your appearance," he drawled some. Jak glared at Adriel and I looked at myself remembering i was in Jak's shirt and that was all. Sighing I shook my head.

"Jak when I get done we're heading to the garage to see Keira-"

"Oh great the bitc-"

"Adriel!" I stared at the male and he shut his eyes not saying anything else. I shook my head turning away defeated.

"My god, I'm with a bunch of children!"

I walked into my room, Jak behind me and shut the door much calmer then I felt right now. I grabbed my clothes and began to change, all the while cursing about their behavior.

I put my bra on, pulling the short tank on and wrapping the suspenders around the bottom before clasping it over my shoulders. Grabbing my caprice I pulled them up, my belt clipping on next before grabbing my gun and strapping it around my thigh.

I grabbed my boots, pulling them up to my knees and put a dagger in each.

"You can't be mad forever," Jak said. I looked at my boyfriend dully and he was smirking. I rolled my eyes walking to the bathroom.

"You are part of the problem too," I spat annoyed. I brushed my long black hair quickly, letting it fall in my face and I brushed my teeth.

Jak leaned against the doorway, already dressed and shook his head, "It just annoys me he's here is all."

I looked at him defeated and wiped my face off, pulling my goggles on and let them sit on my head.

"Jak, I'm sorry but I can't help it! I feel like he's my responsibility. He's my friend."

The blonde stared at me for a long time but I was not backing down from this. Finally he sighed and shut his eyes. I frowned softly, moving his arms so they were no longer crossed and put my arms around him.

"Just…give him a chance," I mumbled. Jak put his arms around my shoulders easily and nodded before holding me closer.

"Fine but you owe me," he grunted. I pulled away and smiled, kissing him before pulling away.

"Don't I always."

We got out to the living room and Daxter jumped on my shoulder, gesturing over to Adriel.

"What's snake eyes gonna do while we're gone?" he asked shrugging. Adriel looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Is that seriously all you could come up with?" he asked dully. Daxter grinned at him and Adriel shook his head smirking. Then he sighed standing.

"Actually I'm going to Hip Hog Heaven. I've gotta get a job with Krew as fast as I can," he stated shrugging. I frowned some, Jak crossing his arms.

"What do you have with Krew?" he questioned. I nodded in agreement and Adriel waved his hand some.

"It's not like that. I won't have much use on missions with you three. So I'll spend my time trying to find more information. Fastest way to do that…Krew."

I sighed but he was right. Lately we were focused on the races and even keeping the Underground clear for safety since we had found the original Samos. It just wasn't really helping that now I had one more person to worry about with safety.

"Don't worry, Kida. I'll keep you updated. I find any new information I'll tell you," Adriel said waving his communicator. I nodded looking at him.

"Don't do anything rash. If you find anything about the Baron or the kid…" I trailed off and Adriel nodded softly, his teal eyes looking my face over. He smiled softly.

"I'll be fine. Trust me."

I wasn't convinced but just as I did for Jak I nodded as Adriel walked passed us to his room. Jak stared at me before kissing my cheek.

"Dax and I will head out to the garage. You stay here and say whatever else you need to," he said softly. I watched him as he walked out and sighed, turning down the hall to Adriel's bedroom.

I watched Adriel walk around and my concern didn't falter.

"Look, are you sure that-?"

"Ki…" I stopped and he smiled at me shaking his head with a small laugh, "I'll be fine. You've gotta trust me."

I sighed and continued to lean against the doorway to his, previously Jak's, room. It seemed he was going to try and get a job as one of Krew's men. But I knew what it was really for.

"You don't need to do this for me, Adriel," I said shaking my head at the ground. The male stopped with a deep sigh and looked up at the ceiling, crossing his arms.

"If I don't do something to help I'm not your protector!"

I stood correctly and shook my head, "Yeah but you aren't devoted to work for me either!"

"Yes I am!"

I stopped at that and stared at him as he nodded, looking at me seriously though we were both still in each other faces, "Yes, alright! I am devoted to work for you and protect you because that's my job. It's been my job and it will stay my job! Not Jak's!"

I blinked repeatedly and stared as he went to go sit down, putting his head down with a sigh. I shook my head a little, stepping forwards.

"Adriel..are you jealous of Jak?" I asked softly. He didn't speak and instead just moved his head to the side, looking away from me.

I stood there for a moment later very confused. My mind was blank and my eyes averted away. I thought about something to say and found it was just best if I left him alone for a while. I turned for the door to head for the garage.

"We…were suppose to grow up together and be together…forever…" he said softly.

I halted, looking over at him and saw Adriel's eyes were again downwards. His hands were clenched together with his elbows on his knees and he spoke very quietly.

"It was arranged when we were born that we would get married..and eventually we agreed because we were friends. I promised myself to always protect you. So that one day…I knew I'd be able to protect you from anything and everything..when we were finally together." I heard the soft laugh he gave as my eyes landed on his form but his eyes were shadowed by his hair as he let his head hang. I saw the blank smile on his face.

"But then…you met Jak. You didn't remember me and you couldn't hear me at all…and you fell for Jak in almost an instant and I felt it. The older you guys got..the more time that passed..the closer you got and the more you grew to love him."

I turned fully when I saw drops fall from behind his face, hitting the ground. My heart clenched and I shook my head softly.

"Adriel…"

"I know I shouldn't but I hate him. I hate him with all my being and it's because he stole you away without even knowing it. I never had a chance. I was alone and you weren't. It wasn't fair!"

'Adriel, please…'

The male looked at me suddenly as I stood directly in front of him. I shook my head softly and touched his face. He stared up at me with wide teal eyes and all I could do was stare seeing the tears trail down his cheeks. I kneeled shaking my head and he continued to stare at me.

I put both hands on his cheeks and grasped his face softly. I shut my eyes, feeling them burn with tears and pulled him to me, pressing his face against my shoulder. I held him there, my arms winding around his neck and I looked up sobbing some.

"I'm so sorry…you were tortured…for years. And I couldn't even protect you from your own misery…" I shook my head thinking about how lonely he must have been…how angry he must have gotten that I loved Jak.

Adriel didn't move and I didn't let go, tightening my grip on him as I ran a hand through his hair.

"I promise you…I will always be here. No matter what."

I felt him shake a little and suddenly he grasped me around the waist, pulling me to him. I felt the tears and felt even worse, my heart breaking.

It was my fault. All of it.

"I will fight for you."

I stopped hearing his tone had gone back to normal and he pulled away enough to see my shocked face. Adriel stared me in the eyes and I saw his jaw clench but it wasn't out of anger, it was out of determination.

"I will fight for you for as long as it takes. I will protect you and I will not let anything else hurt you," he said nodding.

I stared at him and before I could talk he broke into a small smile.

"I know you'll choose him…it won't stop me from existing as your guard, assistant, protector, and past fiancé."

I saw him smirk now causing me to loosen my hold, rolling my eyes. At least I was able to make him feel a little better. But I couldn't let myself feel better. It wasn't allowed.

I stood and headed for the door to meet Jak at the garage.

"Be careful, Adriel. Meet me at the arena when you're done," I requested softly.

"It isn't your fault. At all." I looked over my shoulder, slowing my steps and he was standing, his face set. I stared at him for a while, seeing in his eye he was serious. I shut my eyes before walking on.

'Thank you.'

I turned into the garage easily and remembered I still wasn't exactly okay with Keira. Whether Jak was or not didn't really matter to me.

The whole Ashlin thing hadn't slipped my mind in the least. But something's were more important at the moment. Hating her wasn't on the top of my list.

"I'm still missing two pieces. Vin says I still need an artifact called the time map and an old energy gem history books call the Heart of Mar. And I've looked inside every book on precursor history I can find, but the Rift Ring seems to have vanished."

I watched Keira talk to everyone, the same excited glint her eye she always had talking about precursor stuff. I looked at the Rift Rider and blinked standing beside Jak.

"You did all this? I mean…that's useful." I shook my head at Jak's words and looked at Daxter as he jumped on my shoulder.

"Oh will you three stop moping around and make up already!" I looked at Keira while crossing my arms. The Heart of Mar was what Jinx needed to get for Krew when I got back from prison at Barons.

"We've seen the Heart of Mar. Krew has it," I said frowning.

Jak nodded in agreement, "We'll get those two artifacts, Keira."

"Attention all drivers. The Class One Championship is about to begin." We all looked up as the automated women started talking and Jak sighed softly.

"Well…here goes. The race of my life," Jak mumbled turning away. I shook my head smirking.

"Actually…I replaced my name with yours."

Everyone looked at me in unison, "What?"

I looked over at Jak, crossing my arms, my eyes growing hard.

"This is the only way I can get Erol back for what he did to me…I'm not passing this up," I said seriously. Keira put a hand on my shoulder frowning softly.

"Kida…are you sure?" I looked over at her and nodded, a small smile on my face at her concern.

"Yeah. I'll be fine," I said nodding. Jak shook his head.

"I don't think this is a good idea." I shook my head some, shifting my weight.

"Sorry, Blondie, but…I'm not asking for your permission. I switched our names when I got here so I made sure I could time it out right. Technically you're disqualified and I'm one of the top racers."

Jak frowned and Daxter jumped on his shoulder looking at me like I was crazy.

"What are you nuts! Erol won't hesitate to kill you out there, Kida!" he exclaimed waving his arms. Samos nodded suddenly, speaking up.

"I do believe this is a mistake. Not to mention Erol isn't the only driver out there you'll need to worry about," he explained frowning.

I frowned and Keira shook her head, "I believe in you. Leave 'em in the dust, Kida!"

I nodded happily, pointing to myself, smirking.

"I'm the best female racer here. There's no way I'll lose to someone like Erol! He won't lay a scratch on me."

Jak nodded, a smirk of his own forming as he stood across from me, folding his arms.

"I see…well you better show those big boys who's boss, Kida. We'll be watching," he stated surely.

I walked around everyone with a nod, my green changing purple as my fists sparked. I smirked darkly heading for the arena while pulling on my red goggles.

"Can't wait."

I pulled up in the back of the line just as Jak was placed on the ranks and put my feet on the ground, pulling my gloves on.

There was no messing around here. I would race like I learned the past two years in this damn city. With skill, mercilessness, and dark tricks.

"Good to see ya back, babe." I looked over at the male from a while ago and he made a kiss at me, "This time you gonna go with me when I win?"

I thought about it for a moment in mock thinking, "Funny. Pretty sure I beat you last time."

"Seems like you have yet to learn your place." I growled lowly hearing that voice and watched as Erol pulled up next to me. I glared at him through my goggles and he raised a brow.

"Funny how I didn't see your name on the board," he said smirking. I smiled sweetly.

"Things happened. I wanted to come out here personally and beat your ass," I said darkly.

Erol's smirk faltered and I narrowed my green eyes, "I will not hesitate to kill you on this track…and I will win."

The redhead shook, slamming his fist on the Zoomer he was on.

"I'm tired of you! I want more than just to win, Kida. I want you!" I smirked at him, leaning forwards and grasping the gears to my Zoomer.

"Come and get me." Erol growled lowly and I shook my head, looking forwards as Praxis came down on a large hover board.

"Greetings, racers! Today your nerve and skill will be tested for our amusement!"

I rolled my eyes, setting my feet up, 'Not the only thing that's tested..'

"If any of you should, by some small chance, beat our Grand Champion Erol then you will be awarded a month's supply of eco! And a short tour of my palace to see how the other half live."

I tsked some, hearing Erol chuckle while pulling down his mask. Sure just slip in the last part huh? It didn't matter to me. I was here to beat Erol and win this race so we had access to Baron's Palace.

"Good luck! And die bravely! Ready..? Get set…!"

Everyone revved their engines and I got ready, watching the lights flash.

Yes yes…Kida is going to race meaning she is going to kick ass and race against Erol. It is going to be difficult but I thought..eh. We haven't seen enough action on Kida's end so why not?

Well that's all for this chapter! Please review and I shall keep workin' on the next! Bye byeee
