"2 months!" I gasp.
"Yes"
"Why arent you taking him now?" I ask him raising my voice.
"If he comes back now he'll be dragged off by the Elders to train to take over the buisness" Kiyoshi responds.
"Let them take him" I fling my hands in the air.
"Chikara!" Kiyoshi yells.
"Kiyoshi!" I yell back.
"He's only 16" Kiyoshi reasons.
"He's a decade older when the Elders trained me"
"But that was different"
"How's it any different?"
"You were the only successor"
"Edith, Cora, Esme. Only Cora had an excuse. Edith and Esme could've taken over at anytime"
"Esme was out of reach"
"You have Edith who is experienced!" I say to him in a cold tone. "But only Hunter and Cora tried to stop the Elder's and Edith from training a 5 year old girl how to be ruthless and cruel!!" Kiyoshi silently lowers his head in shame. "But of course what did I expect from Kitamura or Yukimura both cold-hearted and only cares about theirselves. Sure let Ren stay here so that he doesn't find out about how ruthless his father is"
"I agree with Adira" Killian chimes in. "You couldn't care less for other people."
"If you had to save yourself or your son you would pick yourself" Kian says.
I see that Kiyoshi face is a deep shade of red due to anger. "Of course you're happy to stay here for a few days" I smile brigthly at him.
"No thanks" Kiyoshi turns down my offer. He and Ren walks out. 5 minutes later Ren walks back in.
"He went" Ren says downcasted.
"Don't worry he'll be back in 2 months and you can always call him" Kian says trying to cheer him up.
"2 months and then you'll be going through gruesome training. Being surrounded by old douchebags and hags. Everywhere you'll look you'll see an elder who will haunt your dreams" I say in a traumatized voice. I shiver to add more effect.
"R-really?" Ren asks scared.
"It's not that bad once you get used to having aching muscles and smelling like old people" I honestly say.
"Do you remember that old hag who made us climb the haunted castle?" Killian asks.
"The one where you and Atasi ended up falling because you were tackling each other to get to the top?"
"Yes"
"We were so happy when she fell from the top" I smile remembering. "That was the happiest we were training."
"Wait! Fell from the top?" Ren gasps.
"Yeah she slipped on ice and fell. I swear she looked like a smashed pumpkin"
"She slipped on your ice Adi" Killian says pointing at me.
"It was Oreo's ice" I retort.
"No it was yours. You made icicles to make it easier to climb"
"No that you mention it, it does sound like something I'd do" I ponder over.
"So you technically killed her?" Ren asks.
"I suppose I did" I answer him. "So what did Kiyoshi say about me?" I ask him.
"He said he wanted you to teach me the assassin leader board and english" Ren says.
"Argh!" I groan out in frustration. More work!!!
"How many languages do you know?" Ren asks.
"Um..." I pause at the question. "How many languages are there?"
"It says approximately 6,900" Killian reads off his phone.
"There you go 6,900 languages" I repeat.
"You have to be more specific Ren. Like how many languages have you spoken?" Kian asks.
I freeze at the question. "How would I possibly know that?"
"How many do you think you've spoken?" Ren asks.
"About 300" Killian answers for me.
"300!" Ren exclaims.
"It could be more" Killian gets lost in thought.
"Once upon a time a cute 5 year old girl came across a vampire. That vampire had the ability to speak any language he has heard. The cute 5 year old has a ability called steal so what did she do? She stole the power from him making her speak any language she heard fluently. The End" I tell a short story.
"The girl was Adi" Killian says seeing Ren thinking who the girl is.
"So that's how you've spoken so many languages?"
"Yep."
We all go silent.
"Well we should cook dinner" Killian and I say dusting the non-existent dirt on our knees. We look at each other with a strange look before rushing to the kitchen. Killian sprints around the counter while I jump over it. I pull one of the drawers out and grab the sharp knife.
"I won" I say in victory.
"No fair" Killian pouts and goes to wash the vegetables.
"Is fair" I jump onto the counter attached to the wall.
Killian finishes washing the vegetables and passes them to me. I thinly chop them being careful not to slice my hand off at the speed.
"Why were they racing to get the knife?" Ren asks.
"The ones who gets the knife only has to chop everything up while the loser has to clean, cook and clean again" Kian explains.
"Oh" Ren says in understanding.
"Oh and also forgot. It's also for the one who gets to shower first" Kian says.
"Oh"
I finish chopping the vegetables and place them to the side. I then proceed to chop boneless chicken. I give the pieces of chicken to Killian who then puts them into the fry pan and starts to fry them. (It's not what's in the recipe but it's a lot quicker than letting them boil in the pot). Killian then fills a pot with water and puts the cut up potatos into it. Halfway through the potatos Killian puts the vegetables in a pot with water and starts cooking adding curry, pepper and salt (love pepper).
When everything is 20 mintues from cooked Killian puts everything into the vegetable pot adding a bit more seasonings. He gets some rice out and rinses it first but then tips it into boiling water. 20 minutes later Killian and I serve the curry.
"Are you leaving or staying?" I ask Ren.
"Staying" Ren replies drooling over the curry.
"Okay" I serve another bowl for him. I place the bowl in front of him. I grab my bowl and a glass of milk and sit down in the middle of Killian and Kian (who always sit next to each other might I add).
"So you have to learn the assassin leader board?" Kian asks already knowing the answer to it.
"Yes" Ren answers eating the curry and rice.
"Do you want to learn the assassin leader board?" Kaena asks eavesdropping on the conversation.
"Not really but if it helps me get stronger than I'll do it" Ren says with determantion in his voice.
"Aw you're so cute!" Kaena says with a odd smile. "He's going to die" Kaena looks away.
"What?! Die?!!?!?" Ren spits out his curry which splashes onto Kala and Kailey.
"Yah do you want to die?" Kala and Kailey so angry that they yell in english.
"Huh?" Ren doesn't understand.
"You know when that Nero dude came and I turned him into dust?"
"Yes" Ren answers while looking at me.
"Well they have the same ability only stronger. They're asking you if you want to die" I translate. Ren shakes his head in fear. "Good now say you're sorry and they should forget all about it."
"What do you mean they should?"
"Well that's their favourite outfits so they might not forgive" I explain.
"I'm sorry" Ren apologizes.
"That's okay brother-in-law" Kala and Kailey except his apology.
We go back to eating but seconds later Ren, Killian, Kian and I spit out our curry and rice.
"What do you mean brother-in-law?" we all ask.
"Well you two are going to date so naturally he'll be our brother-in-law" Kala says proudly.
"You buffoon. What are you thinking in those heads of yours" I lean over and hit their heads.
"And besides Adi already has enough males in her life" Killian and Kian puts their arms around my shoulders.
"Yes but she doesn't date any of them" Kala says.
"Adira doesn't need to date and who are you to decide Adi's boyfriend?" Killian asks.
