I can see Kori's brain go from thinking to fight mode and the only thing I can think of to do is roll over on top of Natsuko to shield her from Kori's onslaught. Slaps, punches, claws and I think some jewelry hit me in the back and back of my head as Kori is swearing at Natsuko through me.
"You fucking bitch, I will fucking fuck you up you dirty lying cunt….," Kori keeps going with more profanity than even I care to hear as she beats on me.
"Kori? Kori?! KORI?!!!," I finally scream at her but to no avail as she's in a full blown rage.
The beating stops and I hear the sounds of a struggle behind me and turn to see Imelda and Mathilda dragging Kori out of the bus. I get up and watch as Rachael and Katy enter to see me sitting on the edge of the bed and Natsuko getting dressed behind me as I see Katy's face turn sour.
"I ought to kick the shit out of you," Katy says as I stop her by standing up naked and stomping towards her with a grumpy look on my face.
I get into the blinding sun and hear the girls struggling with Kori as I start to step down and end up on my face as my balance is not the best the morning after. Driveway is warm all over and I can hear the fighting has stopped as I start to get up and I hear more than just my girl's voices.
"Someone grab him some underwear or something," I can hear Rachael saying to whoever is able to listen.
"Why," I hear Bethany ask with a smile in her voice.
I get up and I see Kori's rage turn to shock and apparently it's a trend as I feel my face and see blood on my hands. I'm fucking bleed out my nose and when a pair of underwear is handed to me I lean against the bus to get them on and not fall on my face. I'm barely dressed and everyone is looking at the principals wondering what happens next when I get pissed again and decide to do what everyone seems to come to me for, handle shit now.
"Everyone inside right fucking now, my girls and Natsuko in the TV room and everyone else outside," I say waving off a helping hand from Matty as I stomp my way inside the house.
I get inside and pass Loretta who is standing shocked as I have blood on my face and am in my underwear as I stomp my way to the TV room and sit down in the chair facing the door. I feel a bit woozy but I need to focus on the now and get this done before someone other than me gets hurt. I watch my girls and Natsuko file in and when everyone tries to find a seat I point Natsuko to the TV to stand before everyone.
"Alright so we're getting all this out right fucking now and I swear to god if someone speaks out of turn or interrupts I'll stand up too fast and put my whole face through the glass coffee table. Are we clear," I ask, getting wide eyed stares and nods from everyone.
"Honey don't you want some clothes or to have me look at your face first," Loretta asks from the doorway next to the rest of my crew.
"No Mom, this is a priority but please come in and sit with Kori," I say, getting another set of odd looks as she does so," Alright Natsuko let's get this started with you. Did you tell Heather to have Kori beaten down last year?"
"No, when I was talking with her I was telling her to find some friends of her own. I didn't think she would go so far as to get in your face and come at everyone," Natsuko says trying to explain.
"So what did you actually do exactly and don't keep anything back," I ask, still woozy and upset.
"I sent her pictures of you because she asked if I had seen you. I talked to her about moving on or to try getting through to you if she wanted to be around you," Natsuko admits with more than a little fear.
"And why would you do that," I inquired.
"Because Kori and I talked about it and I figured it'd be the best way to get you back into who we knew you were," Natsuko asks as the whole group starts looking between her and Kori.
"When did I ever say we needed to get Heather to go psycho and make Guy's life hell," Kori asks hotly but sees my pissed off face and cools down barely.
"It wasn't so much as Heather as you telling me that we were losing him and that he's not pushing enough so I came up with a way to get him to be motivated," Natsuko explains before looking to me and seeing my pain," I didn't want any of that last year. I didn't want a war or Kori to get hurt, I just wanted her to push your buttons and then you'd get into being your angry but sexier self. Kori said that."
"I'm sexier when I'm angry?," I ask, getting a couple of nods from my girls," Aside from all that, did you give her information on us? Did you tell her how to get at MY girls? Did you even give her my location at any point in time so she could fucking ambush me?"
"No, I didn't tell her anything about anyone else. I just had her focus on either trying to get close to you or her getting her own friends. She started going on about how she was going to take over and until Kori got beat I had no clue how bad it had gotten," Natsuko says scared," That's why I did everything you asked, it was my fault because I tried to get you back to being what you are."
"And what exactly am I that all you women seem to need to hide behind the scenes," I ask, more confused and a little betrayed.
"You are a machine, a sexy machine that loves us and destroys anything that hurts us. You fix everything we ask and you never compromise for anyone which makes you better," Imelda says speaking for the others.
"We thought you were going to start regretting everything that happened the year before when Natty and I started talking about it. I was scared I was losing you, that we were losing you," Kori says quietly.
"We'll get to that in a minute. Now Kori, what happened last night," I ask, turning my attention off of Natsuko.
"We were partying, Jun had won his fight and we were talking into having a celebratory drink since you weren't around we just kept drinking. Then you came back and I realized what we were doing baby," Kori says apologetically," But I woke up this morning and found you're not home and then I saw you in bed with Natsuko and I lost my temper."
"Yeah I'll say so but you all got drunk then my bike gets brought home without me and I'm stranded at the races alone," I say as everyone starts to wonder.
"Yeah Guy, that was Carlos's people's fault. They thought you said to bring your shit home and that you'd be alone later," I hear Lilly say from the back of the crowd outside the door.
"Everyone get in here and sit down on the floor now," I tell everyone and wait till they're inside and Devin closes the door," Now you all got drunk, fine and I sent you home before something bad happened and planned to give you some grief about it today but in light of recent events I think we need a little show and tell of what happened."
