Chapter Thirteen:

The Creation Of The EMS.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

 

Recap:

“Akito? Is he like his dad or some thing?” Alix asked as Momiji climbed of her and into her lap.

“No, Alix. Akito is head of the Sohma family.”

“Hi!” Momiji said suddenly to Tash.

Tash broke into a smile. “Hi! Who are you?”

“I'm Momiji Sohma. Who are you?”

Tash took a deep breath, “Tash-“

Alix clapped her hand over her friend's mouth. “Her name is Tash.”

“Tash who?”

“Scotch. That's all you need to know. Her name is way too long.” Alix said as Tash and Momiji broke into a heated conversation on how annoying Kyo was. Alix just sighed.

“Midgets are annoying. Now I remember why I moved in the first place.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

 

The sky was dark and grey. It was almost as if it knew something terrible was going to happen that day. On the small empty street, a young girl was busy petting a stray cat. Her family were getting ready inside for a night out. She was already dressed. Her long black hair was pulled up in an intricate mess of curls, and her face had been lightly painted with some make up. She was wearing a pair of long black pants and a very nice floral blouse. She was being careful not to get her self dirty as she pet the small feline. The tiny white cat mewled as she stroked its fur.

She heard voices from the front door, and knew that her parents and older sister had finished getting dressed. She gave the cat a quick scratch under the chin and gently shooed it away. She stood up to face her family and smiled. Her mother and sister looked lovely. Her mother was wearing a black dress and had her hair the same way. Her older sister was dressed similarly, with a blue boob tube instead, with a pair of long black pants. Her father was dressed in a simple dress shirt with a tie and a pair of black trousers. Her mother smiled at her.

“You look lovely tonight, dear.” She said softly.

“You look beautiful.” The small girl replied.

Her father smiled at her, “Fenik's going to be late. But he wanted you to have this early.” He held out a jewelry box. The young girl beamed and took the box from her father. Minutes later a necklace adorned her pale neck, as they all got in the car and backed out of the drive way.

 

 

Alix frowned. She had dozed off again. The third time that day. It didn't help that Tash had laid low for the day and hadn't tried to scare her. She blinked the sleep away and found her self on the couch in Kyo's arms as he watched the TV.

That was the last time she had spoken with her parents. Shortly after that last discussion, they were involved in a car accident that took them from her. She hated remembering her family, because she missed them dearly.

“Hey, are you okay?” Kyo asked when he realized she was awake.

“Yeah. I was just remembering my family…before the accident.”

“I'm sorry. I though you were tired, so I let you sleep.”

“Thank you. Where's my midget?”

“No bloody idea. And I hope we don't see her. She is so annoying.”

“Yes, she can be. At least I haven't found a snake any where yet. Almost a week with out finding a snake; I think she is slipping.” She yawned and snuggled into his arms. He smiled down at her and pulled her closer to him. The sound of Suki talking at the front door carried in through to the living room, where they were sitting. Shortly after Momiji came running into the room. Hatori, Shigure, Ayame, Haru, and Kagura followed afterwards. Alix smiled softly at them.

“We decided to keep you company while entertaining your friends,” Hatori said as he sat down on one of the armchairs. Shigure and Aya took the other two-seater, and Haru sat in another armchair as Momiji leapt on his lap. Kagura smiled and sat on the floor in front of Hatori.

“Tash has been good lately. I haven't found any surprises yet. That doesn't mean I won't.” Suki came into the room, followed by Tash. Hatori raised an eye bow. Alix just sighed.

“Suki, you didn't bring cheesecake out did you?”

“Yes, Miss Tash requested it. I couldn't say no.” she replied sheepishly as she handed out tea and cheesecake to every one.

“Remind me to teach you how to ignore the puppy dog eyes. Tash, you have your own cheesecake. Why eat this one?”

“Because I can,” she replied cheekily as Staralinga walked into the room. She looked around the room, and seeing all the chairs full, left again, only to return with another chair from the kitchen. Suki gave her some cheesecake as well.

Shigure smiled at Suki as he took his plate from her. Alix rolled her eyes.

“No flirting with my hired help, Shigure.”

“Not even a tiny bit?”

“No, not even a wink at her.”

Suki smirked. “I'm sorry Mr. Sohma, but I'm afraid I am already taken, by my husband.” Shigure's smile faltered, but didn't disappear.

“Makes it all the more funner,” he mumbled. Suki laughed and left the room.

“So Alix, how did you meet your charming friends?” Ayame asked as Tash shoveled a second piece of dessert down her throat.

Alix smiled at the memory. “It was the funniest meeting. It was my first day, with my new family, well my first day in the new house. I had a hard time sleeping that night, because it was a new house, and I was still grieving for my family. I woke the next morning to the loud, pain in the ass whistle. It was so annoying, and at six in the god damn morning too. I walked to the window to see two large buses parked out side the house across the road-”

“-are we talking about my house?” Tash asked. Alix sighed.

“- one was one of those ugly yellow school buses, and the other was an army colored one. Twenty males came marching out of the house. Twenty! They divided up into the two buses. A little blonde thing was trailing behind them, and climbed into the army bus. The buses wouldn't move for a few minutes, then finally, the blonde girl was escorted onto the other bus, by one of the older males. That was my first sighting of the Scotch family. I went back to sleep, thinking I had some weird neighbors. Suki came in at like eight. I heard her skirts rustling, and I leapt out of bed. I figured, because I was now an army brat, I was going to get the same wake up. Suki just laughed and told me that it wasn't the case, because I was excused from school for that week, due to the accident and settling in. She also said that she found waking teens up gently worked better.”

“You never said you were an army brat.” Shigure said.

“I didn't? I thought I had…I'm pretty sure I did. Any way, all six of us are army brats.”

“Six?” Kagura asked, shaking her head at Tash who asked for her cheesecake.

“Yes. There are six of us. Tash and Staralinga, then there is Tapanga, Ally and Kealin. We make up the EMS.”

“EMS? Do I even want to know?” Kyo asked.

Hatori sighed. “Evil Midgets Society. I do believe they were under the influence of sugar that day.”

“Oh, Hari. We were not.”

“Okay then. They were under the influence of sugar. You were under the influence of alcohol.”

“It was my first time drinking!”

“And Fenik was wrong to do that.”

“At least he didn't let me leave the house. And he made sure the others didn't touch it. Any whoo! I think we need to drop that subject.”

“Who's Fenik?” Ayame asked slyly.

“Fenik is my best friend. He was there for me before and after the accident. I think he is almost five years older than me. He sees me like a little sister.”

“That's sweet.”

“He is.”

Suki took the tray back in to the kitchen and came back out. “You haven't told them about when you first met the girls, Alix. That was a funny meeting.”

Alix smiled. “You tell them. I'm too tired.”

Suki sat her self down on the ground beside Kagura. “I swear it has to be the strangest way to meet new friends. I had taken Alix out the day before to purchase things for her room to decorate. That day we were arranging her room to her liking. I knew that the girls were coming over, because all six lots of parents are good friends. Alix answered the door bell after it rang and I think was a little startled. Can you picture five teenage girls dressed in pink frilly party dresses, standing on the front porch with looks of murder on their faces? Alix was freaked out to say the least. On the Scotch's front lawn, were all their mothers, silently urging them to be nice and make friends. The girls barged in, slammed the door closed, and in a matter of seconds, the dresses were ripped off all at once, to be replaced with jeans and t-shirts, with the exception of Tash, who just changed into a dress that was black. The dresses were stuffed in a duffle back and thrown at the door. They stood smiling at poor Alix, still in the process of pulling hair out of pony tails. I helped introduce them to Alix, and after a while, they seemed to get along okay. It was the weirdest meeting.”

Alix was in the process of snuggling closer to Kyo when Tash spoke up.

“No. That was not weird. What was weird was seeing her bedroom. Her room was covered in posters. Of my dad! That was weird, seeing my dad's face all over your friends bedroom wall.”

“Why would she have posters of your father?” Shigure asked as Tash took Alix's untouched plate of dessert.

“My dad is a famous archeologist. She had found his picture one day, and went all fan girl on him.”

“Well, that's a bit strange. I thought she was obsessed with a Numair some one.”

Tash frowned. “Numair Scotch. Yeah, my dad.”

Alix blushed. “Can we drop this subject too? I think that Tash needs to go away and shop some where.”

“Only if I can have your credit card.”

“Fine, just go away.”

Tash broke into a grin. “Suki, will you come shopping with me?”

Suki nodded and together they left the room, then the house. Alix sighed in relief.

“She's gone. I can live in peace.”

Staralinga smirked. “That's not true and you know it. She will come home with a puppy.”

Alix froze. “I hope she doesn't. I thought I got her out of that habit.”

“You've been away for almost two years, shit happens.”

Alix grumbled and sat up. She stood up suddenly. “I'll be right back.” She left the room quietly. Hatori raised an eye brow, but refrained from saying anything. Kyo glared at Staralinga but didn't say anything either.

“Listen here, Cat boy. I haven't done anything wrong, so stop glaring at me.”

An ear piercing scream had Kyo bolting from the room. The others followed him up the stairs and into Alix's bedroom. They found Kyo dodging flying objects from a hysterical Alix. A live snake lay on the floor of her room, with Alix on the bed. She was paler than usual and was shaking worse than before. She was finding it hard to hold objects before she threw them. Ayame frowned before stepping in the room to remove the poor snake. Kyo was having trouble getting onto the bed to calm her down. Finally, he just tackled her gently, pinning her to the bed to stop her squirming. Hatori sighed.

“Trust Miss Scotch to ruin a nice day. Kyo, put her under some cold water.”

“Having trouble calming her down,” he got out through gritted teeth, as he pinned her arms beside her head. “Alix, calm down. It's gone. Alix, please!”

Alix shook her head, but stopped moving, although her shaking didn't cease. Kyo released his breath, and rested his forehead on hers. “Alix, come on. Shower.”

She shook her head and started to try and control her breathing. Momiji climbed onto the bed.

“Alix. It's okay. It's gone now.” He said softly as he gently pet her hair. Haru was watching silently from the door way.

“Hatori, why is she reacting worse than usual?” Kyo asked as Alix tried to scratch the feeling from her hands.

“I do believe maybe she has reached…that um…time of month, as they put it. That would cause a weaker or worse re-action. The best thing to do is to calm her down. And to keep Miss Scotch away from her. Kyo please work on that. I need an asprin.” Hatori said before leaving the room with Shigure. Kagura came into the room and sat down beside Momiji as Alix continued to shake uncontrollably. She started sobbing and mumbling to Kyo as he kissed her face gently. He couldn't catch all of it. Something about dead midgets and real snakes.

“Alix. I'm going to let you go, don't do anything, okay?” Kyo released her wrists slowly and flopped on the bed beside her. “Alix, I love you, but please stay away from snakes. It is really tiring.”

Alix shook her head again, but snuggled into his chest. He sighed, but gently pet her on the back while she mumbled into his shirt. Haru decided to step into the room and sit on her arm chair.

Momiji frowned at Alix but went to climb into Haru's lap. Kyo raised an eye brow at his cousins. Haru glared at him, daring him to say something about it, but Kyo remained silent.

Finally Alix pulled away from Kyo.

“Sorry for being such a pain in the ass,” she said softly.

“Forgiven, just don't run into any more snakes for a while, okay?”

She nodded. “I need a shower. Now.”

He sighed, but helped her to stand, and to walk into the bathroom. He closed the door after him self, but Alix frowned.

“Not this time please.”

He frowned, “why not?”

“Because, I have blood-“

-“what? I don't see any-“

“-all down my legs. I got my periods, just before. So not this time, please?”

“alright. Take as long as you need.” He kissed her gently and exited the room, closing the door behind him. He walked over to the bed and flopped down on his stomach.

“Is Alix going to be okay?” Momiji asked quietly.

“Yeah, she'll be fine. She wants a shower, then she'll be her usual self again.” He buried his head into one of her pillows, and closed his eyes. He could hear every thing going on, he just could care less. The bathroom door opened after almost twenty minutes and Alix came back out, dressed in a very long black skirt, and a very tight black tank top. She went over to Kyo and sat beside him.

“Thank you. For putting up with me. I don't know why you do.”

“Because I love you, stupid. Just don't go finding any more snakes, okay?”

“Deal. Say what's going on with you two?” she asked, seeing Momiji resting in Haru's lap

Kagura smiled. “Haru has an interest in your bunny.”

Alix broke into a smile. “Kawaii!!! Aw, so adorable. My little bunny is gay. Oh, bummer. That means I can't have him.” She faked a pout that had the blonde leaping on her. She kissed his cheek.

“So how long has this been going on? I want details, have you fooled around yet?”

Momiji blushed and shook his head. Alix smiled.

“Did I embarrass you? Oh, poor bunny, I'm sorry.” She put Momiji down and walked over to Haru. She knelt in front of him.

“I know we haven't spoken, since we broke up. But I really do want us to stay friends.”

He looked at her. “I loved you.”

Kyo raised his head in interest. He wasn't going to but in, but he wanted to know what would happen.

“I love Kyo. I love you as a brother, and I know that Kira said the same thing to you years ago. Don't you love my little bunny? He's cute, and so innocent. And he likes handcuffs.”

Haru raised an eyebrow. “He does?”

She nodded. “I have a pair actually. I was given them, and Momiji found them. It was cute, seeing him lying on the bed asleep with his hands cuffed. I know that you loved me. I will always love you, but not as much as Kyo. So can we still be friends?”

He nodded, and pulled her into his lap. He whispered into her ear.

“I want to use the handcuffs on both of you.”

She blushed bright red. “I'll let you borrow them. But I'm with Kyo.” She kissed his cheek and slid off his lap, to go over to her drawers and dig around in her underwear. She pulled out a pair of metal handcuffs. She closed the drawer and went back over to Haru and clasped them on his wrists. She giggled when Haru lunged for her. They landed on the floor with a thud. Haru grinned at her as he kissed his way up her neck. Alix giggled.

“Momiji your boyfriend is kissing me, get him off!” she laughed as Momiji dragged Haru off, by grabbing the cuffs. Haru stood, pulling Momiji close and whispering into the blonde's ear. Momiji blushed, like Alix did, but didn't pull away. Alix smiled.

“Kiss him for me, please? Kiss Momiji?”

Alix squealed happily when Haru complied with her request and captured Momiji's lips in a soft kiss. “Kawaii! You are so adorable together!”

She climbed onto the bed with Kyo. “I love you,” she whispered to him, before kissing him. He grumbled at her.

“Wash your neck. I don't want his saliva on you.” She smiled at him, before going into the bathroom to do as he asked. When she returned, Haru and Momiji were sitting back in the chair, with Haru nibbling on one of Momiji's ears. She smiled at them sadly. She wished Kyo would treat her like that, but it was never going to happen. Kagura sighed loudly.

“I'm leaving. I'm jealous because I don't have a boyfriend to hug and smooch.”

Alix frowned. “I'm sorry. How about some chocolate? It cures every thing…even cramps,” she said wincing as a period cramp kicked in. Kyo was up in an instant. “Kyo, it's okay. It's just cramps. I'm used to them. I want chocolate though.“ She smiled at him and slowly made her way out the door, followed by Momiji who pulled Haru along by his cuffs. Kagura and Kyo followed as well.

Downstairs, in the living room, Shigure raised an eyebrow as the teens entered the room.

“Haru?”

“Haru is our bitch.” Alix said smirking at Haru.

“I didn't think he actually owned any cuffs. I know he talks about them-“

“They're mine.” She said sheepishly. Shigure raised an eyebrow at her.

“Really? Who would have thought you were into bondage?”

“I'm not. They were a gift that I never used. Haru wanted them, so I let him borrow them. Hatori, do you have any pain killers?”

Hatori looked up at her. “What on earth for?”

“I have cramps, and they're killing me. They're worse than usual. Please?”

“Alright. Momiji would you please fetch my bag?”

Momiji handed Haru over to Alix and bounced out the door. Alix smirked at Haru again.

“I've got you now. Whacha gonna do about it?”

Haru pretended to think about it for a few seconds, before pulling her close and whispering in her ear. “Gonna tie you to the bed and ravish you.”

“I think not. Kyo will do that, not you.” She flicked his nose and moved away as Momiji came back into the room. Hatori gave her some pain killers, and Kyo went to the kitchen to get some water for her when another cramp kicked in. She sat on the couch, her arms wrapped tightly around her hips as she lent forward to help put pressure on her stomach. Kyo came back with a glass of water and a block of chocolate. He helped Alix to down the pain killers before sitting beside her. Alix flopped onto her side, resting her head in Kyo's lap as she brought her knees up to her chin.

Momiji frowned. “Do cramps really hurt so bad?”

“Yes, Momiji they do. And I just want the drug to kick in. You guys can eat the chocolate. I can't eat anything.”

Hatori cleared his throat. “Eating something will help ease the pain.”

Alix scoffed. “Yeah, for about twenty minutes before I throw it up again. I don't bother. I've told you I can't eat anything for at least four hours after I first get them. You've known me how long, and you forgot that?”

“And my answer still remains the same. You need to eat something.”

“Stick it Hari. I already feel miserable, don't make it worse. I'll kill that fucking midget.” She moaned as Kyo rubbed her shoulder gently. “I feel like shit. I don't mean to be a pain, but would you guys leave? I'm going to be a huge bitch, and I don't want to say something I'll regret.”

Hatori sighed and placed his tea cup on the table. “Alright. We will leave you. Kyo, make sure she eats something soon. She needs the vitamins. Take care of your self Alix. Will you be okay tomorrow?”

“What's tomorrow? Oh yeah. No I'll be fine. Kyo?”

“Hmm?” he asked, leaning over to her face.

“Could you go with them, please? Just for tonight. I really just want to be alone tomorrow. I'll make it up to you, I promise.”

“Okay, but I will drop some stuff off that Tohru wants you to have.”

“Sure. I love you Kyo.”

“I love you too.” Kyo kissed her gently before helping his cousins stack the cups on to the tray. The others left the room, but Kyo lagged behind.

“Kyo?” She asked when he knelt down in front of her. She was answered with a fierce kiss. She opened her mouth to him and let his tongue enter her mouth. He only stopped when breathing became an issue.

“Let me stay with you tonight. Please? I don't like sleeping with out you.”

“Kyo…I don't know…” she sighed at the look his was giving her. She thought she was immune to the puppy-dog-eyes, but Kyo's eyes were just too sexy to ignore. “Okay. But I am going to be a bitch.”

“I lived with Kagura for how long? “ He pointed out to her.

She frowned. “Yes, you can stay.”

Kyo kissed her again before disappearing from the room. Alix sighed. How was she going to leave tomorrow? The girls were going back tonight, so they wouldn't be a problem, and the others wouldn't come around…she could just wake up early. She shook her thoughts from her head as Kyo came back into the room, along with Suki, Tash and Staralinga. Staralinga sat down beside her and Tash sat on the floor in front of her.

“Do you want Suki to give them to you later? Or do you want them now?” Tash asked softly. Alix frowned again.

“Maybe later. Fenik would have sent his, and Suki will give it to me in a few days. Git might have sent his with Fenik's. I don't really want to see those until maybe on Wednesday. You midget are going to die.”

Tash smirked. “You needed some action. You were getting boring. I think Snape was a lovely fella for doing it for me.”

“You named it?”

Tash nodded. “I thought he was cute…what did that man do with him?”

“I don't want to know… Dinner before you leave?”

“Yes please. Potato bake. With bacon and schnitzels?”

Alix nodded, “ask Suki, she will make it for you. I'll be in the kitchen in a few. My cramps haven't calmed down yet.”

Tash nodded again before dragging Suki into the kitchen.

Staralinga spoke up. “Are you going to be okay tomorrow?”

“Yeah, I'll be fine. Aunt Sae will be coming over for it. I think she will leave two days after, I'm not sure.” She lowered her voice and spoke in Double Dutch to Star.

“How am I going to get away from him? He wants to stay the night, and I will leave at six.”

Star spoke normally. “Just leave. Who cares what he says. He has no say in it. I'm going in now.” She stood up and left the couple alone.

Kyo sat in front of Alix as Tash had been. He looked at her worriedly. She smiled at him.

“Do you want normal bacon and schnitzel? If so you better go tell Suki. I'll be in, in a few. Cramps are still bad.”

“Kagura suggested that you move around, she said it helped her.”

She winked at him, “better help me up then.”

Kyo helped her to sit up, then to stand. Once she was balanced he walked beside her slowly as she made her way into the kitchen. Suki was busy preparing the ingredients for dinner. Tash was peeling some potatoes and carrots, and Star was mixing some cream with some soup mixes. Suki was busy pulling out some real and vegie bacon, along with real and vegie schnitzels. She asked Alix what she preferred. She decided on the real stuff that night. Suki nodded and went about preparing it. Alix sat down at the island and helped by chopping an onion and the vegies that Tash had peeled. Kyo sat down beside Alix and just watched.

Dinner was quiet, just the five of them. Alix helped Suki with the dishes while Tash helped her self to some ice cream as dessert. Alix turned dessert down, but Kyo had some. After that they went upstairs to help the girl pack their suitcases up and for them to nick a few of Alix stuffed animals. Tash picked up a large, lavender colored bear and went to put it in her suitcase. Kyo grabbed it back out and put it on a higher shelf out of the blonde's reach.

“Gimme the teddy! I'll castrate you.” She ground out through gritted teeth.

“Not that one. I gave it to her you're not taking it. Any of the others, not that one.” He said calmly to her, carefully to keep his anger out of his voice. Tash glared at him and chose one of the other ones. Once she was happy, Kyo helped her take it down stairs to the car. He helped with Star's as well. Alix smiled.

“This is nice of you Kyo.”

Staralinga laughed. “you really are dense. He is only doing it to get rid of us faster.”

“Damn straight. Now lets go.” He said, helping Alix into the car.

 

The drive to the airport was quick. Kyo took their bags in for them and waited for Alix and Suki to check them in. Alix and the other two exchanged hugs and laughs before the two girls boarded the plane, but not before Tash came running back to kick Kyo in the shin.

“You take care of her or I will kill you.” She whispered to him before running back to Staralinga.

Alix insisted that they not leave until the plane had taken off and she couldn't see it any longer. Kyo was buggered by this time, and just wanted to get to bed.

 

He was dimly aware of a purple haired woman speaking to Suki at Alix's house as Alix led him upstairs to bed. He put it out of his mind as Alix snuggled against him under the blankets. He was just happy that those two midgets had left for good.
