Chapter 18: Meet the Anders

A yawn escaped Kori's lips as she stretched out her arms. Although she didn't know it, the party from last night took a lot out of her and she decided to sleep in. Kori glanced at her clock and got out of bed, her body still tired and her eyes half open. As she walked to her door she passed by her calender. Her whole body froze. Kori sprung to full awareness and grabbed her calender. A certain day was circled in red and today was that day.

A scream was heard through out the Anders house causing Raven to awaken from her sleep. She opened her door to see what was going on. Outside was Kori banging on Komi's door.

"Komi! Komi, wake up!"

Kori continued to bang on the door and didn't even notice Komi had opened the door. Since Kori didn't notice this she hit Komi on the head by accident. "Oww. Kori, you bitch!"

"Yell at me later." Kori said, holding up her calender for Komi to see.

Komi's eyes widened. "Oh shit..."

"I know. We both forgot and what's even worse is we only have an hour left till their plane lands."

"Okay, I'm gonna go get dressed and pick them up, that gives you enough time to clean."

"Why do I have to clean? I can pick them up."

"You're the one who threw the party yesterday!"

"You're the one who drives like a blind school teacher!"

"Would you both shut," Raven shouted, causing the two sisters to become silent and look at her. "What is going on?"

"Mom and Dad are coming home..." Kori said.

"And everything has to be perfect." finished Komi.

"Why don't you two just calm down," Raven said. "Komi, you go pick them up, Kori and I will clean the house."

The sisters nodded and Komi went back to her room to get ready.

"Thanks for that, Raven," Kori said. "I just get nervous when my parents come home from one of their business trips."

"It's alright," Raven said, turning to her room. "Oh, what is all this I hear about you and Dick sleeping on the couch together."

"Uh...I gotta go and get dressed!" Kori said, quickly returning to her room before any one could see her blushing.

About an hour later the house was completely spotless. The furniture and wood had been polished and was dust free, the floors were swept and mopped. Kori went to extra lengths to make sure everything was perfect. She didn't know why she was so nervous. It was just her parents, no big deal. Then again, it was her parents and her parents were a lot on the meddling in their children's lives. If their was a club for parents meddling they would be the presidents.

But then again they didn't need to be presidents for a club, for they were already the presidents of their own company. Kori's father and mother were well known in the business world, only a few rows down from the famous Bruce Wayne.

Just like him, they had their own family business which began years before Kori's grand parents were even born. The business dealt with hostile take overs and numerous little business that grew into popular hotels and much more. After the death of Kori's grand parents the business was passed down to her father and uncle Galfor.

One day, when Kori was older, she too would inherit the business. It was just like Dick who would one day become owner of Wayne Industries. Even if the two didn't want to.

Oddly enough, that didn't worry Kori. Seeing her parents did and it caused her to pace, back and forth in the living room. Raven sat down with her legs crossed and her arms folded in front of her. A pair of purple eyes watched the red head walk back and forth. Watching changed into frustration.
