Anna's Weapon… Aya
Anna bounced into the living room with a bowl, way too full of popcorn, and grinned to Jade who had been forced by Kid to watch his daughter as he went out to do something with Liz and Patty. "Movie Time!" She was so glad that Jade was over. She hadn't gotten to spend hardly any time with her now that she had school and… Green Star. Sitting the bowl on the table she bounced over to the TV and opened a drawer under it picking out a movie.
Sitting on the couch bored as she watched Anna shifting through the movies, she knew she couldn't back out now. "So what movie are we watching?" She asked as she stretched a little and grabbed the bowel of popcorn munching on some before Anna ate it all.
"A scary one!" She squealed back and popped it in before she bounced onto the couch grabbing the bowl from Jade and took a mouthful of it. Spilling some popcorn also over the two of them. "I'm so glad you said you'd stay with me! It gets lonely here." She took another mouthful.
Jade grabbed another hand of popcorn and ate a few pieces. "It's been awhile since I've done anything like this. It's nice to have a nice laid back night… for once." She got comfy with a pillow behind her so she wouldn't have to sit up all the time for the movie.
Anna beamed at that and wiggled in her seat a little. Though once the movie started, she actually shut up, her hand freezing over the popcorn bowl once they got to the part where there killer was. "Oh…. No…" She whimpered, watching the man sneak up on his victim. She yelped when he attacked and ended up throwing the bowl of popcorn up into the air covering her eyes and clung to Jade in a vice grip.
"Its… ok… Anna…" Jade said and tried to get out of her grip and she looked at the spilled popcorn all over now and sighed gently a little sad. "Don't worry Anna; it's only a movie nothing like this can happen." But suddenly a noise on the second floor caught her attention and her eyes narrowed a little.
Anna jumped again when she heard the noise. She looked up and sniffled a little and clung more too Jade. "J-Jade? What's that?"
"I don't know… but I intend to find out."
"Uhh… no no no no no… Don't go! Don't leave me!"
"Then come with me… you know I can handle my own." She got herself out of Anna's death grip and stretched. "I'm not letting an intruder come into this house alright… So don't worry. It will be alright." She patted her head and stood up holding out her hand to her.
Anna whimpered but she nodded and grabbed her hand standing up. She got behind her and grabbed the back of her shirt looking around scared. "What do you think it is? I hope no one's here. I don't think I could handle it…." She sniffled gently.
"We won't know until we find out…" She got to the stairs and stopped hearing something crash upstairs again. Her eyes narrowed even more and her arm turned into a scythe blade. That was when she caught site a shadow coming towards the stairs. Anna yelped and clung to Jade more. Tears came to the corner of her eyes and she sniffled.
Aya cursed as she tripped over something that looked very expensive. Why the hell did Lord Death ask her to come to his house and at such a random hour? He wasn't even there to greet her. No one was there. "What the hell kind of school is this?" She muttered to herself, but saw a light flickering near a door and sighed as she headed over that way.
Moving into the other room with Anna, Jade glanced at her. "Stay here ok." She whispered to her and went back to the side of the stairs. She saw the shadow beginning to descend the stairs and her face formed a frown knowing she'd get a better angel from the other side.
Grumbling to herself, Aya sighed seeing that the stairs led down to another expensive area. Maybe that's what Lord Death wanted. He wanted to see if she'd investigate. After all, DWMA students were supposed to check everything out before finishing a mission. Though, this was hardly a mission. She ran a hand through her hair and began to descend the stairs, squinting as it got darker.
When the girl got down to the bottom of the stairs, Jade grinned to herself and stepped out from the shadows behind the girl. "Who the hell are you?" She stood there glaring at her with her arms over her chest.
Aya stopped and blinked, squinting some more hardly being able to see. "Um… well, who are you?" She asked back. This person didn't seem very friendly. Maybe she had the wrong house? No. No one could mistake this house.
Flipping on the lights, Jade stood there still glaring. "I asked first. Deciding to break into Lord Death's house for the hell of it is a stupid move." She smirked to herself.
"I wasn't sneaking in! I was invited by Lord Death! Damn it!" She growled. She had a very short fuse and got angry very easily.
"Uh huh…" Jade just shrugged to herself. "Well Lord Death isn't here… so you can just leave now." She shooed her away with a bored look on her face.
"Why would he invite me over if he's not going to be here?" She asked as her hands clenched and took a step forwards. "Are you his interrogator or something?"
She smirked and put her arms behind her head with a slight laugh. "I wish…"
Aya raised an eyebrow to that as well. "Look, I'm not leaving until I speak to him. He asked me to come here and I'm not going to disobey him. Where is he?"
"I said he is out you idiot…"
"Don't call me an idiot, you shrimp!"
Jade's eyebrow twitched, "Well at least I can tell when no one is home. You idiot!"
"Hey! I'm going to pop you if you call me an idiot one more time!" She yelled at her.
From the corner, Anna glanced around the wall and her eyes went wide seeing Jade standing up to someone. "Try not to fight Jade…"
"Idiot…" She said really slow and dumb sounding while sticking her tongue out at her. "Just try, you can't win against me…"
"You brat!" She yelled, taking a few huge steps towards her and rearing back to slap her, but Jade brought up her hand before she hit her. Her arm turned into a scythe which made Aya bring her hand back and held it in pain and swore a little as she glared at her. "What the?" After a minute she rubbed her sore fist, "Oh, you think you're something don't you?"
Jade shrugged, "Not really…" she yawned and stretched ignoring her for a minute.
"You…" Aya's temper had hit the breaking point by then and she charged, shoving Jade back, about to punch her in the face.
Growling low, she ducked under her punch and charged at her in return. She tackled her onto the ground and rolled off before she touched her. "I'm going to hurt you!" Aya screamed at her and grabbed her by the ankle and tugged her down onto the ground. She punched Jade in the side trying to overpower her.
Jade kicked Aya in the stomach and quickly then brought her palm back and struck her straight in the middle of the chest before she got away and spat out some blood on the side. That punch had hurt her, but she refused to show it. "Well I admit, you're not a sissy…" She grinned a little at her.
"Heh, I can see you aren't either." Aya said while wheezing a little from the punch. This girl was good, but she stood up and glared at Jade. This fight was about pride now, screw what had happened before. She couldn't let this girl beat her.
Jade got up and got into an offensive position but gave Aya no time to defend because she charged and threw a punch at her face.
Taking the hit, she took the opportunity to get Jade in the stomach between the ribs which caused Jade to cough up some blood which Aya noted that black liquid came out of her mouth but she didn't have time to think about it.
Jade had heard a cry from Anna and she knew that she had to finish this to not get her involved. "That's it…" She said to herself and round house kicked Aya into a wall hard.
"Gah!" Aya cried as she slammed into the wall. Sliding down she coughed up some blood but quickly got up and ramming back into Jade and throwing her across the room. "You fucking brat!"
She got slammed into a painting and rolled away before jumping up and charged again tackling her through a wall into the living room. She kept her hold on her the whole time… getting cut also from the wall, but she ignored it.
Aya scratched and kicked at her, trying to get free while coughing up blood. There was some definite damage done but she couldn't let this girl win… she just couldn't. Neither of them heard Anna as she was yelling at them to stop fighting. But Suddenly Jade hit her in the pressure point on her neck which caused her body to go limp. Blood seeping past her lips, but Anna caught up to them and covered her mouth with her hands. "Jade! You didn't!"
"No… I didn't…" She said wheezing gently but spat out blood to the side. "Anna, go get some rope please…"
"Huh Rope?" She asked, blinking as tears rolled down her face. She really did hate fighting, which was unfortunate, given who her father was.
"I didn't kill her Anna… I made her unable to move for a short time…" She sighed and stood up while she pat her head. "Never mind, stay here with her and I'll be right back." She left the room to find some rope. She knew where most everything was anyway.
Anna nodded, while she sniffled. She knelt down to the paralyzed right and watched her. Who was she? What was she doing here to begin with? She said her father sent her. Why?
After five minutes, Jade came back and kneeled down. "Well then, help me tie her up." She sat Aya up and began to tie her up… handing the rope to Anna sometimes. Anna helped Jade, though she felt really weird about it. The girl's eyes were open and she knew that she could see and hear them, and it was unnerving.
"I wish daddy was home…"
"Yah well… he won't be back till tomorrow. So you being safe is my responsibility for now…" She sighed and dragged her over to the wall and leaned her up against it. "There…" She sighed and went to sit back down on the couch. "I got to admit, that girl doesn't go down easy…" she rubbed her sore stomach where Aya had hit her.
"Do you know who she is?"
"Nope, no idea…"
"Oh…" Anna sniffled and looked down at her feet. "I don't think I can sleep tonight now."
Jade glanced at her and scratched her head with a slight sigh. "Well… then come over here…" she patted the couch next to her. "Lie down and get some sleep… I won't leave."
"Promise?" She asked, going over and laying down. She pulled a pillow up under and laid her head on it which was against Jade's leg.
"Yup…" she nodded and gave Anna a small smile.
Anna smiled a little and nodded, "Thanks Jade." She said, and closed her eyes before she falling asleep.
Jade watched her fall asleep before her eyes shifted back towards the girl. She stayed up all night watching her but by seven am, she yawned and knowing the girl would be able to move soon. Rubbing her eyes, she stretched a little hoping Kid would be back soon.
Anna had slept like a baby all night, Aya however was a different story. She blinked, finally able to move. What the hell was that girl? She groaned, and flexed her fingers a little getting the feeling back in them.
"I see you're getting back feeling now…" she narrowed her eyes at her.
Aya glared at her but couldn't say anything yet. This was terrible, what the hell was her problem?
Jade continued to stare at her but then stretched and stood up. She walked up to her and poked her in the nose. "While Kid is gone, her daughter is under my care… so until he returns you will stay tied up…" Aya groaned and coughed a little, finding it hard to breathe, especially tied up like this. Jade continued to look at her, but then kneeled down and loosened up the rope at least so she could breathe and stood up walking back over to Anna. "Morning, come on wake up sleepy head…" she shook her gently to wake up.
"Mm… five more minutes…." Anna mumbled, drooling a little on the pillow, her hair all over the place now.
"If you don't wake up, I won't make you breakfast."
"Hmmm?" She said finally opening her eyes, "You're cooking? Yay!"
Jade scratched her head, "Bring her along with you when you come to the kitchen ok…" She walked out towards the kitchen to get started.
"Huh?" Anna whispered low to herself but glanced over to Aya and tensed remembering last night. "Oh…" She got up and rubbed her eyes before she carefully walked over to the girl. Stepping over the rubble from the night before. "Um… are you okay?" Aya glared at her, and grit her teeth trying to move but still feeling like she couldn't. She quickly gave up and sighed, she'd wait for her chance to get back at Jade, but for now she'd go along with everything. "Please don't be angry at me, I tried to make her stop…" Anna said and knelt down in front of her while pouting.
She continued to glare at her, but blushed a little when her stomach growled.
"Oh… um… Jade's making food. Do you want some?" She asked and reached out hesitantly but grabbed the rope and started to loosen them even more so that she could get up if she wanted. Anna was really sweet even if she was probably the dumbest student at DWMA.
She blinked feeling her loosen them, 'Is she stupid?' she thought to herself but felt like she could move and began to stand up. She was taller than Anna, so she glanced down at her. "Kitchen…" She said in a rough voice, her voice coming back now also.
"Okay!" Anna said, smiling cutely and walking ahead of her. Glancing back to make sure she was following. "Jaaaddddeee! What are you making!" She asked bouncing into the kitchen into a chair.
Jade had a lot of pans out and had a lot of food out. "Well a lot of breakfast food really. I wasn't sure what you like this time of morning…" She hadn't known what to make, and had decided to make a little bit of everything also she knew Anna ate a lot.
"YAY!" Anna cheered turning and grinning at Aya. For a minute, she even forgot that there had been a fight only a few hours ago. Sat down in a chair and looked at Aya.
Jade, who in return glanced back at her. "I will release your rope enough to eat, but until Kid comes back you are not leaving…" She walked over and undid them some more before she went back to the food. After 20 minutes, a pile of food was in front of them. "Eat up…' She got her food before Anna ate her.
Anna's eyes were as big as her stomach and she gobbled up as much as possible and then some more. "Oh my god! Jade, this is SO good!" She said her mouth full. Aya actually ate a bit, silently agreeing with Anna. The fact that the girl who had beaten her ass made it, kind of put a damper on it but still… it was good.
Seeing all the food gone after a few minutes, she sighed a little. "Well then, I'll leave cleanup for kid…" She scratched her head and glanced towards the front door. "Because they are back…"
As on cue, Patty ran through the house into the kitchen while laughing. "I smell good!"
"You're too late…"
Anna frowned and looked at her plate. "I have a pancake left!" She piped, running over and sharing it with Patty. Who ate it hungrily.
Aya looked up and raised an eyebrow. This… was going to be interesting. About 20 seconds later, a loud scream was heard from the other room and Liz rushed in. "Uh… Anna… you dad…"
"What's wrong with him?" Jade blinked to herself as she finished her drink.
"There's a gaping hole in the wall… What do you think?" Liz said while sweat dropping.
"JADE!" Kid screamed from the other room, Aya sighed and hung her head. Apparently this was a common think about here.
Jade blinked twice, all the cuts and bruises she got from Aya last night were still showing, but she began to clean up the kitchen ignoring Kid until he came into the kitchen. "Well that… wasn't entirely my fault."
Kid stomped into the kitchen and nearly died seeing the mess there as well. "Gah! Jade! What the hell happened here!" He yelled. He looked over and saw the student he'd talked to the day before and then all the color drained out of his face. She was tied up, bruised and cut and looked like she'd been through hell and back. "Jade! Why the hell did you beat up a student! I can't keep dealing with this…" he wasn't all that mentally stable, afterall, not with having Anna for a daughter.
"Hey! She snuck into the house! I thought she was a burgler!" She defended herself and put all the pots into the sink. "I was protecting your daughter… thank you very much!"
Kid looked at Anna who just laughed nervously. "It was… well… we didn't know who she was…" She half explained.
Aya just looked up, heeling weak and angry. "Can someone completely untie me, please?"
Kid gasped and went over, letting the chains fall off her. "Jade…. Really?"
"Really? seriously? You don't believe me?" Jade stood there in disbelief.
"Should I?" He asked annoyed. "Did you explain yourself?" He asked Aya.
"Well… I told them I was looking for you but I didn't get a chance to explain why or who I was. This girl… she just got under my skin."
"I asked you! I gave you time to explain!" Jade yelled at Aya.
Aya sighed and looked down, swaying a little. "I need to lay down…." She whimpered. Kid took her by the arm and led her out, telling Jade he'd be back soon.
Liz swallowed and looked to Jade. "I'd leave now if I were you."
She grumbled and tossed a pot down on the ground letting the contents go everywhere on the ground. "fine!" She yelled and walked to the door ignoring Anna and slammed the door shut before she walked down the street. She was tired, cranky, sore, and pissed… not a good combination for her.
