"ButLillytoldmethatElillwasgonnakidnapyousoyoutwocanelopelikeitornotsowe'reheretosaveyou!"

Kari said all at once frantic chibi almost comically

((Yuppers,and sorry for not coming on yesterday. My internet's been crappy.))

Cat looked at him for a minute suspiciously then sweat dropped "actually...that's not possible..."

"I was joking about it with Lil....even if i wanted to, which i dont, your 15...your too young to be married..." Elill said "and besides Ive only known Cat two months...only freaks are that hasty..."

Aleck sweat dropped "oh yeah...but that makes Elill a pedophile...also didn't Matoko propose after a week?"

"we haven't don-"

"SILENCE!" Aleck shouted and Cat and Elill sweat dropped.

((sorries Im in class D: come back! and hows school? want to kill yourself? are the guys cuter? how are classes? what are you taking? is math as hard as you thought? and rofl you totally missed the cats 15 thing XD))

"....One of these days,I'm going to be intelligent enough to catch whenever Lillie's lying."

Kari said face palming at her own stupidity while sighing

((School's okay,only in gym,kinda,they're good,yup. XD yes yes I did))

Aleck sweat dropped "Kari....you need to pay more attention to the details"

"dont blame her, you didnt notice either." Cat said and took Elills hand and they went in

Aleck sighed "I feel stupid...."

"I feel stupid too.It's a usual feeling these days."

Kari said sighing and said holding Aleck's hand and heading back to the house

"C'mon sicky,we should get home before I get sick too."

"Kari, did Catalina kill mom?" he asked worriedly "she wont look me in the eyes anymore, which tells me she did something wrong..."

"...Lilly said she did who got said information outta Yuki."

Kari said honestly while sighing and added looking up at him giving his hand a gentle reassuring squeeze

"But if that was the case,I don't think it was intentional."

"I think it was, I told Cat something I should have kept to myself." Aleck sighed sitting on a bench for a moment "Mother...she was sick, in more then one way...years ago she would sell me to let people do as they please..."


((im in class >> so sorry if my replies are late, just keep checking))

((that's okay))

That would be where Kari slammed into the pole in surprise and she moaned lightly in pain and said huggling Aleck now and clinging to his leg

"That's not good...I knew she was kinda crazy in the head but she was our mom Allie...But the fact that she did that to you...That's just not forgivable."

Aleck slumped his shoulders picked kari up in a hugging/carrying motion "She always just wanted to make the most money off of me possible...I was a cute kid and I was healthy, sometimes it would just be simple odd jobs, but those where rare...dont tell shigure...i dont think we need to worry about Cat getting caught if she told Elill...he seems to have his share of cover ups."

Kari nodded and said kissing his cheek and petting his hair using the pet name she always called him,particularly when attempting to comfort him.

"Roger. Shall not tell Shigure and don't worry about Cat and Elill,and your not feeling tired from carrying me are you Allie?"

He shook his head "I'm almost better, its just a shock after Lilly doing that..." Aleck kissed her on the nose and smiled at her "how about some hot coco?"

((how was your day?))

((Good,how's yours been so far?))

"With marshmallow and vanilla cream?"

Kari asked raising her eye brows while looking more and more like the immature child she was.

he nodded chuckling "yes as much as you want..." he said then set her down in front of the shop "hey...that Izzy guy...who the hell is he?"

((suckish...my so called freind isnt talking to me all of a sudden because hes an athlete and has his 'reputation" and Im just the weirdo))

((That sucks. *huggles* You always got me~ X3))

"Apparently he was Lilly's old boyfriend.She wants to torture him so the break up was probably bad....And considering he kinda hit on me and Cat I can guess it's from "

Kari said sweat dropping,her cupid instincts having kicked in,while attempting to walk in without slipping and falling on the clearly slippery floor from being cleaned with the 'slippery when wet' sign and everything. She failed miserably.

Aleck grabbed her arm before she could fall "he keeps looking at you, but thats normal lately..." he sighed "i heard them say something about him taking care of lillieths and his child...do you think its true?"

((unless you get grounded forever >> *shot* i mean *huggles*!!))

"I think Lilly would remember having a child.And I'm so cute and loveable and a rare species that everybody feels the need to gawk and huggle me,or kill me. Thankfully you were the former when me and Cat were 8."

Kari said giggling lightly

"or they have a fetish for flat girls.." Aleck said taking the drinks to a table "is it honestly beyond Lilly to lie though? i think she's become so insecure that she does things spur of the moment then tries to forget and cover it up"

Kari smacked him in the arm for the flat comment and she said calmly while sitting down at a table

"Lily tends to lie a lot. And since I've known her,she's been insecure. I don't think it's odd. You'll just have to get used to it."

"I dont know...Ive seen some weird behavoir in both her and Elill so..." he said sipping his coffee "by the way, i havent seen matoko around..."

(....What happened to Matoko again? ^^U *can't remember and too lazy to look*)

((i dont remember either XD i was hoping you did....lets just say he took a trip out of town or something...its been so long Im just using this conversation to jog my memory))

((XDDDD Sounds good to me))

"He had to go out of town for a few days on a business trip.He'll be home by the weekend."

Kari said cheerfully,clearly she couldn't wait until then,while sipping her hot chocolate happily ignoring the fact she was getting a hot cocoa foam mustache.

Aleck smiled "yeah....Im happy you have good taste in men at least, I should have been stricter with Cat.." he said finishing up his coffee and sighing looking out the window "tomarrow i think im going to get Cathy and take her shopping, the poor girl is nearing 7 months now and they have absolutly nothing for the child...Im assuming she has no parents anymore so I would like to let her know someones there if she needs it"

Kari shrugged and said to the men comment

"Every girl's bound to get a bad boy as a boyfriend at least once,and Elill's a nice guy."

She gulped down what was left of her hot cocoa and asked giving him the puppy eyes and showing him her empty mug

"And you should take Cathy shopping,all her clothes probably don't fit either and you might wanna buy a life time supply of diapers or somethin'....And can I get some more Allie? It's so good..."

"yes you can" he said taking her mug for a refill, and came back and said "you keep going on about what a nice guy Elill is but how can a guy that wears makeup, has peircings and buys a little girl cigarettes be a nice guy...and Cat refuses to listen to me when I tell them to break up..."he ranted for the 100th time "They dont belong together...you can see they dont really even like each other and Cat says they fight all the time"

"There is no such thing as a perfect couple or a perfect guy.You'll have to learn to live with it,and Cat's not little. She's 16,and how old were YOU when you started smoking?"

Kari said sighing rubbing her temples but took the mug gratefully and started sipping it more slowly

"15...and 13 but Im a guy....shes my little girl no matter how old she gets...and what about you and Matoko....you two seem good together" he said frowning and upset while slumping in his seat "all I ask is for a clean cut guy that has a job....Elills 19 years old and I have no idea what he does"

"Ask Cat later,and that's really sexist and hypocritical ya know."

Kari said rolling her eyes as she added "Give it up already,your not gonna win.And thank you for the compliment about my boyfriend."

Aleck still pouted "I dont like Elill....I really really really really dont...your going to help me break them up" he said

Izzy came in carrying a girl that looked to be about 3 in his arms, she has brown hair and freckles and closely resembled him, however still looked something like Lilly, he looked at Kari "hey..your stalking me arnt you?.."

"Other way around. And no Aleck I am NOT gonna help you break them up,I am the CUPID not the ANTI-CUPID."

Kari said bluntly and asked raising an eye brows "What's the kid's name?"

"who are you going to break up?" Izzy asked "Her names Abby" he said to Kari setting Abby on the chair beside her

"the freak of nature Elill and Cat" Aleck said

"Why?" Izzy said "Elill got dumped within few months of dating every other girl so I don't think you have to worry about it..."

Abby was sitting with her head bent and knees against her chest shaking and Izzy petted her "its alright, just stay here while I get you some hot chocolate..."

Kari ignored Aleck's whines over the 'freak of nature that is Elill and Cat' and asked Abby raising her eye brows while offering her hot chocolate

"Hey Abby,my name's Kari. You look like you need this more then I do so,you want the rest?"

she nodded with tears in her eyes "daddy was like a week late and I was standing out in the cold starving and freezing to death!" she exaggerated

Aleck sweat dropped "we should kidnap the child..she would be better off with us"

"You just want another little girl since me and Cat grew up."

Kari retorted rolling her eyes and she said to Abby secretive chibi

"I'll tell you a secret,my big brother Allie once forgot that he was supposed to pick us up at the park after school and me and my sister Catalina were stuck in a tree for like 4 hours before he came to get us and then get us down!"

Abby frowned "you should have run away..im gonna run away!" she said hopping off the chair and running towards the door before Izzy ran after her picking her up "no you dont.."

Aleck sweat dropped "I told you not to share that with anyone didnt I? and no....I want her because...her dad seems like he wouldnt be a capable parent..."

"He's trying,which is important. And it's not like I told Shigure,he would of spanked you if I did."

Kari said snickering a little bit

Aleck frowned at her "you do and I will kill you..." he said bluntly


Izzy sat down with Abby on his lap sipping hot chocolate "hey....I have a favor to ask of you two.."

"What is it hentai-sama?"

Kari asked bluntly,hopefully Abby didn't understand Japanese XD,while giving Aleck a pout but nodded in a 'I won't tell him' motion

"I'm not a pervert!" Izzy said

"whats a pervert?" Abby asked curiously looking up at him cutely

"something bad honey...anyway can you ask Lillieth if she would let us stay with her for a while....I'm barely making ends meet"

"be a man and suck it up" Aleck mumbled

"....And I happen to like not being in the basement.Or the attic. Or somewhere else traumatizing if I asked her for you."

Kari said shuddering at the thought

Izzy bit his lip seeming a bit irritated "fine, I'll be taking my leave then" he said wrapping Abby in his coat to keep her warm and took off

Aleck sweat dropped "well that was no loss"

"Didn't try hard enough either.If he really needed help he would of either pressed harder...Or he's going over there right now to ask."

Kari said sweat dropping and added after a minute of thinking "And the kid kinda reminded me of Lily."

Aleck nodded "did you notice some of her mannerism matched too...I would say hes over there bugging Lilly again...I really should go after him and stop him..."

"Then let's go,with some donuts to go too please."

Kari said sweat dropping as she got up giving him the puppy eyes

he sighed and went up to the counter getting a few donuts for her and began walking after Izzy only to find him sitting on the side of a small wall/fence, he has Abby curled up on his lap

"You gave up easily" Aleck said bluntly

"If you would let a child suffer because you don't like her parent then there's no point in bothering. Im going to go ask Lilly in a bit..."

"We were testing you stupid."

Kari said giving Izzy a kick to the shin with her eye twitching

He just gave her a dirty look and Abby squirmed out of his grip looking up and Aleck and grinning "whats your name?"

"Aleck..."

"you gonna be my husband!" she said getting sweat drops from both the guys

"....Yes she is indeed Lilleth's child."

Kari said after a minute before cracking up laughing as well

Aleck sighed "Indeed"

"I just need to teach her about prevention...something Lillieth never learned..." Aleck nodded in agreement with Izzy for once

"all right lets get home..we don't want to get sick.." he said and Abby took his hand happily making Izzy seem to be jealous
