Childhood

Request from Roxie14: Do one where megumi goes back in time to where ace was a child and she gets turn into a child also.

She blinked a few times at the beast in front of her before screaming at such a pitch the beast ducked its head slamming its paws down onto its ears trying to block the ear shattering scream from breaking its skull. Megumi tried to run away but the long skirt she wore twisted around her ankles sending the pink haired girl sliding across the ground. She coughed as her mouth filled with dirty spitting it out as she turned to look up at the beast that loomed over her. Bright white teeth flashed before her as his open jaw loomed across her head, this was it she was going to be eaten by a beast when she was sent to some own known landed as a child.

A flash of orange and black zoomed across her vision and the beast was sent flying away from her, a boy about her age stood with his back to her. A metal pipe held tightly in his hand as he glanced back over his shoulder at her glancing her up and down before scoffing.

"What is a girly doing up here in the bandit territory," The boy scoffed.

Megumi untwisted the long skirt, "None of your business."

The kid scoffed and glared at her, "Well you better get out of here, another beasty will eat the little cutey."

Megumi stood brushing the dust off her skirt and glaring at the young man in front of her, "Shut up num skull, like you know anything!"

"More than you do," The kid scoffed, "I know not to go wondering around mountains on my own."

"Well woopydedo," Megumi snapped, "And who is Mr High and Mighty to tell me what to do."

The kid turned and a familiar grin filled her eyes, "Ace and who might the cry baby be?"

Megumi slammed her hand against the underside of his head forcing him forward a few steps, "I am not a cry baby…" She stated before she mumbled, "Megumi… I am Megumi."

"What is the pretty girly doing in the mountains?" Ace asked her sitting down in front of her.

Megumi crossed her legs and sat down across from him, her skirt spreading out around her as she looked at him. "I got lost ok! I was …. I wanted away…."

"Oh so your from the Kingdom and tried to run away," Ace stated grin across his face, "What your rich parents gonna do when they find out that you aren't locked up in your tower."

"Not like they will notice that I am gone," Megumi stated.

Ace looked at her with a bit of sympathy, "Not all parents are right you know."

Megumi nodded and smiled softly at him, "How would you know?"

Ace didn't say anything about it straight away before he shrugged, "Friends parents is a bit of a dick."

"Oh…."

"Like yours rich and only care about their fame and money…. I'm guessing…"

"Sort of…."

"Hey…. I live with a lot of people that take care of random kids, wanna stay for a bit…"

"If that's ok?"

"OF COURSE!"

AN: Ace is such a cutey.

Scarlet.
