"Yes because everyone knows my brothers but no one believes you have a son so Ren's in the all clear." I smile. "Except you position your men here and visit every few months...."
"Fine, fine. I'll pull my men back." Kiyoshi gives in.
"Great. He knows the basic at fighting so if any humans tries to attack him he can defend himself. Oh and Ocean is watching him." I say and kick him out of my house. "I'm not going to live with him so toodles." I wave my fingers at him and slam the door in his face.
"Adira Chikara Astrid Yu-" Kiyoshi starts.
"I'm not a Yukimura anymore instead I'm a Blackwell, remember?" I cut him off.
"Edith." Kiyoshi says respectfully.
"Chikara open up the door!" Edith's voice sounds from the other side.
"Well it's the she-monster so..... No." I refuse and go into the kitchen to grab a snack.
Thud!
Edith kicks the door down and elegantly waltz into the room. Well she thinks she's elegant but I think she looks like a constipated peacock.
"The Blackwell's are gone so you don't need this house. You will move into an apartment with Ren Yamashita!" Edith orders.
"Eh! What if I don't want to?" I ask with a ton of attitude.
"I will give Chikao more work." Edith says confidently.
"You wouldn't?" I hiss.
"Oh I would." Edith smiles victoriously.
I smirk and kick her waist. I pin her to the ground and grab her throat. I smash her head into the wooden floor making huge 'bangs' but I don't care. Edith cries out in pain but I don't stop until blood is on the floor. I stand up and drag her out of the house by her hair. I throw her onto the front yard.
"Don't ever try to threaten me with those cheap, petty tricks." I hiss at her with dark purple eyes. Astrid is in control. Edith whimpers in fear. I walk inside the house again and kick Kiyoshi out. "Don't ever come here again." I order them and walk back inside.
I clean up the mess and fix the door before slumping on the couch next to Asra.
"Why couldn't I have better relatives?" I ask while patting her. Asra growls which I smile. "You're right. I have you and all the rest."
I turn on the TV and watch a vet show since I just love shouting at the people that they're doing it wrong. After a few hours of watching I start getting tired. I look over at Asra to see that she's already asleep with her head on my lap. I smile and carry her to her bed. Since Killian isn't here I lay on his bed and I am about to fall to sleep when my phone rings.
"What?" I say, grumpy that someone disturbed me.
"It's me Chika." Cora's voice says. She sounds tired like she just woke up.
"Let me guess Edith complained to you?" I say sitting up.
"No. Why? What happened?" Aunt Cora asks.
"Nothing. Anyway why did you call?"
"Chandler Jones." Cora says.
"Chandler Jones. Who's Chandler Jon- Oh." I say remembering.
"Yes oh. Well anyway just want to let you know that he knows Ren's face."
"What? How?"
"Chandler was there when you two were trying to escape and saw Ren's face clearly. He's now trying to look for him in the underground." Lane explains taking the phone from his wife. These two are always updated since they have connections with gossipers.
"Dammit!" I curse.
"Look out for that Yamashita boy or else he'll be wiped off the planet." Lane warns.
"I know. Don't worry I'll handle it Aunt Cora and Uncle Lane. Just enjoy your vacation in Puerto Rico while you still can." I reassure them and hang up. I think for a few minutes before calling Kiyoshi. "I'll do it." I say three words before hanging up. I don't even give him enough time to react.
Asra quietly growls.
"Yes we are moving Asra." I confirm and sigh.
*****
2 weeks pass since Aito's death and with it everything changes.
Kiyoshi takes Miss Yamashita and their youngest son to his hidden property which only a handful of people know while the Blackwell's move back to the Mura Castle with the newly added Keetan and Kayden.
I pack for the move which only takes me two hours since I don't have that much stuff. I clean the house down since it will be used for a safe house whenever we come to Nagoya for a mission. I even clean the backyard which is a bit more tricky with all the weeds.
When 3 o'clock comes I grab the two suitcases and move them outside. One suitcase is filled with clothes and the other is filled with food and Asra's necessities.
"Come Asra." I call out to her.
Asra howls in protest but I finally manage to coax her out using six different bag of chips.
A car pulls up in the driveway and Damien, Beatrix and Theodore hop out. They walk up to the door and without saying anything Damien and Theodore grabs the two suitcases and put them in the back of the car.
"You do know that I'm only moving houses and not moving continents?" They all look like I'm leaving them forever.
"Yes but you have to live with a dude!" Beatrix exclaims quietly but we all hear her.
"I've lived with dudes whole life."
"Yes but this dude is the first that isn't from the Myth families."
"He's Kiyoshi's son so technically we're cousins."
"Non-related cousins." Beatrix corrects.
"Nothing will happen Trix. He's just a friend." I reassure her but she's not buying it.
"Besides Adira can handle herself." Theodore says.
"Yeah if things start to go south she'll fight her way out of it." Damien adds.
Click.
Ren's door open and he moves his boxes out onto his porch.
Theodore and Damien go over to help him while Beatrix stays behind to pat Asra who is quietly howling in protest.
"Poor girl she won't have a backyard to play in and instead have a teeny tiny balcony." Beatrix sulks.
"She'll have the apartment to run around in." I say yawning since I didn't have enough sleep last night hence me waking up at midday.
"Okay let's go!" Damien orders putting Ren's last box in the back of the car.
We all sit in the car. Ren, Beatrix and I sit in the back with Asra on my lap growling at Ren because she thinks he's the one that made us move. Theodore drives while arguing with Damien about which Avenger is the best. Damien chose Hulk while Theodore chose Black Panther.
After 50 minutes we finally stop in front of a 14 story condo apartment building.
