Vacation

Declaimers: We are the Generation A

Ramon: first things first, we're Portuguese and we're making this fanfic in English.

Sunny: so don't be surprised if you see some graphic errors …

Alandra: And as usual, KOF doesn't belong to us, it's a very cool awesome video game made by the SNK. And to celebrate the release of KOF XV we make a story about Shun´ei and Isla.

Air Jay: and sadly, it is not a lemon story

Alandra: SHUT UP AIR JAY!

Air Jay: You just miss saying that, right?

Maliska: So let's go on with the story.

Chapter 5

Meiteikun wakes up with a large yawn, he sees the clock and notices that it is 10 in the morning. "I better get up, I don't want to miss breakfast again…"

Meiteikun gets out of his room to find Shun'ei and Isla taking care of baby puppy. "Huh? You guys, what happen? Where did you get that puppy?

"Good morning Meteikun." Shun'ei greeted.

"Yo there, sleepyhead." Isla greeted as she continues to cuddle the puppy.

"Oh yes, good morning. So may you tell me where you get the puppy? He's looks so cute." Meitenkun notices the looks on Shun'ei face turn more serious.

"We found her last night. The poor thing, she was bumped in the trash by-"

"By the Jerk who tried to feed me to the shark!" Isla finished with an aggressive tone.

Meitenkun gasped in shock. "That-that's horrible! First he tries to sacrifice Isla-san and now he tries to kill a poor, harmless puppy? How could he?"

"Yes, I was disgusted as well. It's like that guy has ice in his veins." Shun'ei commented.

Isla nodded in agreement. "The poor thing could not defend herself, and like a coward he-he-"

"Ok, ok! You two save her and now the little thing has a home and people to take care of her." Meitenkun interjected trying to calm both Isla and Shun'ei. "So, what will we call her?"

"Well…" Shun'ei spoke as he scratched his chin. "I haven't thought about that…"

"I got the perfect name!" Isla interrupted as Amanda holds the puppy. "We will call her, Ink!" Isla declared as she made pose, pointing that puppy now known as Ink.

"Wait, what?" Shun'ei asked in shock.

Meitenkun blinked in confusion. "Ink? Really?"

"Yeah, it is only obvious." Isla replied with a grin.

"Because she is a Dalmatian?" Shun'ei asked.

"Nope, because you can tell she is an artist as well.

Shun'ei was thunderstruck by the response.

"Besides being dumped in the trash, Ink seems to be very healthy." Meiteikun noticed.

"After we found her, we immediately Ink to the vet." Shun'ei explained. "The doctor gave us a lot of medicines for the puppy, and we basically spent the entire night taking care of her."

"And we are still taking care of her." Isla said as Amanda passed Ink to her. "The doctor said that it was a miracle that Ink survived, she was really mistreated."

Shun'ei puts a hand on Isla's shoulders when he felt her anger rising. "But she is safe now, Isla. Ink is secure and now she can live a normal life."

"But the S.O.B. who did this to her is still out there!" Isla said with an livid tone. "Today I'm taking care of Ink, but tomorrow morning I'm going to find that jerk and give him a wall deserved smackdown!"

The rest of the day passed on, Isla, Shun'ei and Meiteikun spend the entire day taking care of poor Ink, giving her the first bath and play with her with a few more toys. Isla even took some pictures when Amanda was cuddling the little puppy. Isla even took some pictures of Ink sleeping with Meiteikun, Isla immediately called them sleeping buddies. Shun'ei even played with the puppy, tears forming into his eyes with the mere image of seeing Ink so well and so joyful despite what happen to her.

Eventually the night time arrives and the three teens decide to watch another DVD movie. Shun'ei and Meiteikun tried to convince Isla to see Titanic but she immediately interjected and decided to see another movie. The chosen movie was Batman Returns.

The three teens watched the movie with Meiteikun sleeping in the middle of the movie and Ink sleeping calmly on Isla's lap.

Finally the film ends and Isla looks back at Shun'ei to see a bothered look on his face. "What's up, Shun? The movie was too dark for ya?" She teased.

"Well…" Shun'ei started with a low tone. "I… I could not help but to feel sorry for the Penguin."

"Oh…Why?" Isla asked in a much softer tone.

"I mean, he was neglected and abandoned in the sewer by his parents, the very people that should care for him no matter what. I can understand how he felt. I mean, I'm not saying that I approve all the wrongs he did but I can understand the felling of rejection that he experience."

Isla listened to Shun'ei words intensely. She has seen this movie many times with her friends and in the end all of them said that they feel sorry for the Penguin. But the way Shun'ei illustrated the Penguin's sad past it almost sounded like he experimented that same rejection. Isla also faced the same rejected so she also understands what the Penguin felt, the only difference is that Isla was left in a orphanage while the Penguin was left in the sewers.

"Well, time to go to sleep." Isla said as she got up and faked a yawn. "I have a long day tomorrow."

"Ok, ok. I'll put Meiteikun to sleep." Shun'ei replied as he picks up Meiteikun.

Isla noticed the gloomy gaze on Shun'ei's features, he's still very syrupy about the movie. It is very understandable that the movie brought back an agonizing recall from his past. Isla was struggling with the urge of asking Shun'ei about his past. certainly she was tremendously curious about it but she evade asking about Shun'ei past, the conversation might encourage Shun'ei to ask Isla about her past, and Isla wants to avoid it, she doesn't want anyone to learn to much about it, she doesn't want to show any limitation to anyone. Shun'ei is still too distance to enter her circle of trust entirely.

Isla puts a hand on her chest. The barrier she is building between herself and Shun'ei is throbbing her, virtually taking her air away.

The next day finally arrives.

"Yo there! Goodmorning!" Isla greeted as she enter the kitchen. She notices Meiteikun sited on the ground, feeding Ink and then notices Shun'ei eating his breakfast, the sorrow on his face seem to have faded away.

"Hey Isla." Shun'ei greeted.

""Wha's up Shun." Isla greeted back as she picks her coffee and stole a toast from Shun'ei.

"Hey! What gives? That's my toast!"

"What? I'm hungry! And in a hurry!"

"You still want to look for that guy who hurt Ink?" Meiteikun asked.

"Of course! I have a knuckle sandwich to give him." Isla responded in a determinate look.

Shun'ei has seen that look in Isla's eyes previously, back in the King of Fighters when she was determinate to overcome him. "I thought you were going to say that, so I'm going with you."

"What? Why?"

"What do you mean why? After what he did to you and Ink, I want him to pay as well."

Isla was about to complain but decided against it with the mere gaze from Shun'ei's eyes made her give up. "Ok fine, it's your funeral. Then you better not slow me down."

"Ok, fine."

"Then let's go!" Isla hooted as she ran to the door.

"Take care of Ink while we are away, Meiteinkun." Shun'ei said as he walked out the door.

"Hum… Ok"

"Ok, we are out, so do you have any idea how to find the guy?" Shun'ei asked once they were out of the building.

"Nope, no idea at all." Isla responded very simply.

Shun'ei nearly tripped with Isla's response. "Don't say that so proudly!"

"Relax, I have my ways to get informations."

"How?"

"Hehehe! You underestimate the info one gains from the streets. Time to show you my world, Shun'ei."
