Memento Mori Chap 4

Home. You stupid jerk why'd you bring me here? Mori looked around at the people staring. Mouths whispering, eyes judging. “Fuck all of you! Stop looking at me!” Yelled Mori.
“Mori!” Yelled Suzaku.
“They're so fucking judgemental.”
“Language, you're only 14.”
“Your a 35 year old man who owns 60 pairs of shoes and ties his hair back with a bright red ribbon.”
“I look good with it and the combat boots here are to amazing you wouldn't understand.”
“Gay.”
“Not gay you idiot.”
“Guys don't wear ribbons.”
“I look good with it, you have short hair... well not really anymore you probably could tie it back.”
“I'm good I don't wanna look fucking stupid.”
The made it home standing outside the gates Suzaku set Moriuta down and hugged him. “If you wanna leave go ahead but don't think I'll ever hate you for what you do. Just visit please.”
Mori pushed Suzaku back and kicked the doors open. “I don't need your pity Dad.”
Kuro ran in with pj's on. “Moooooooooooooooooooooooom!” She then noticed it was Suzaku and Mori. “Oh it's just you two, where's mom? She went after you dad.”
The two stood silent.
“Why the long faces? Come on guys. Say something.”
Mori walked up to her and put his hand on her head. “She's dead.”
“That's not funny Mori.”
Suzaku came over and dropped Nya’s ax. “She's dead.”
“Prove it! Take me to her!” She tugged her dad's coat.
“I was there Kuro, she's gone.”
Kuro leaned onto Suzaku and cried. “Who fucking killed her?!”
“I did.” laughed Mori. “I fucking killed her with dad's sword. She didn't suspect a thing.”
Kuro enraged grabbed Suzaku’s sword and went to swing it at Mori.
Suzaku grabbed her and the blade to make sure she didn't touch Mori. “Kuro! Stop it!”
“Let’s me go! I'll kill you!” Kuro let go of the blade and from her hand came white fire.
“Calm down!” he pulled her back.
“I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL HIM!”
“Mori can you go on a the roof for a sec?”
Mori nodded and went outside shutting the gates behind him.
Kuro took a deep breath.“Let's me go, please.”
“If you try anything I'll won't hesitate to fight back.” Suzaku let her go.
Mori climbed up onto the roof. Sitting above the city staring at the clouds as drops of rain started. His dad made it up to the roof and sat beside Mori.
“Feels great doesn't it.” Said Suzaku. “The rain hides all the tears.”
“Do you hate me, for killing mom?”
Suzaku sighed. “Do you hate me for not saving her?”
“Guess not.”
“You know on this roof top I proposed to her, well it wasn't much of a surprise to her she saw right threw me.”
“‘Cause your an idiot.”
“I was and still am. Right after she saw threw me and revieled you. At first I was surprised, wasn't expecting an idiot like me to become a parent so suddenly.”
“So I was an accident? Great that makes me so feel better and by better I ment miserable.”
“Accidents are mistakes and your not one of my numerous.”
“I bet Kuro was planned.”
“Don't be like that.”
“Why not, it's true isn't it?”
“She’s was, everything at the time was peaceful and all together so we had Kuro. When your mom was pregnant with you I couldn't even stand or go anywhere without help. I lost my hand and my foot on my left side. I couldn't do anything to help your ma without me failing. We were young and not really ready but we pulled threw.”
“What's the moral of the story?”
“When things are looking down you gotta pull threw cause it's all ment to be.”
“Like that skull on that pike?”
“That was my grandma getting revenge on her uncle. Without his cruelness my dad and his brother would've never been born then I would've never met your mother. All comes togeather threw tragedy and time.”
“You have a weird philosophy.”
“Guess so.”
“So how'd you even meet mom?”
“Uhhhh that's a great question. Well I was at a ice base fighting a Loch.”
“Kizo Loch?”
“Suprised you know his name.”
“His daughters hot.”
“Okay then… back to what I was saying your ma and uncle Arid came. Lit the base on fire and we talked for a few seconds. Kizo blinded her in an eye and it wasn't much after we became friends after showing me I was from the fire.”
“Weird but cool I guess, not how I'd wanna start.”
“You don't pick the start you just find the finish.”
“So much metaphoric bull shit with you today.”
“Fine I'll shut up then.” He sighed.
After a few months Kuro stopped trying to hurt Mori. The public of course didn't agree that Mori was let lose because he was the prince. He was a member of UW and killed the queen, anyone else would've burned to death.
Mori didn't care about it, two years came and he was busy training. If anyone challenged him he'd fight them head on.
“You fucking bastard! I'll kill you for what you did to little bro!” The jocks came at him with a simple punch forward. Mori moved to dodge and the jock shot his hand into the wall.
“Hope you have the money to pay for that.” Commented Mori.
“Oh yeah!” the jock threw his other hand at him. “Money won't fix what I do to your face!”
“I don't have time for this you lowlife, for a clansmen your pretty stupid. Note to self any Kai related to Enzo is retarted. Bet your mom wishes she swallowed you.”
“You bastard, go kill yourself no one wants you as king!”
“To bad for you then ‘cause you made my shit list. Byebye to you when I'm ruling this trash heap.”
Mori shoved his text book threw the jocks teeth then whiped it down.
Chocking on his teeth the Jocks coughed. “I'll kill you! You bastard!”
“You keep saying that but I can assure you my parents were married when I was born.”
“Don't be a smart ass with me!”
“I sure not gonna be a dumb ass with you.”
A teacher ran over and pushed the 2 apart. “What we're you thinking Shiki, you just got back from suspension and you're already in another fight?”
“He came at me, I plead innocent.” replied Mori as he put his textbook away. “I did force a book in his mouth, hoped it'd give him some knowledge in that tiny brain of his.”
“Shiki!”
“I'll kill you like you fucking murdered your own mother you monster!” the jock yelled wiping the blood from his mouth.
The students watching gasped. That wasn't wasn't a happy topic to mention.
“Enzo!”
Mori started to laugh to cover up how pissed he was. “I'm done here.” He walked around the teacher. “I’ll be at the office waiting.” passing the jock he grabbed him from behind as the teacher asked a few students what happened. Put the jock into a head lock to start choking him. “Fucking die!”
A few more teachers came and pulled the two apart.
“Stop Shiki you're not helping your case!” Commented a teacher.
“Mori.” a hand grabbed Mori’s.
He turned to see Kuro. “Let me go you idiot.”
“I'm not holding your hand I'm dragging you to the office. Better if you don't stay here.” She tugged his arm. “Mr. Ao I'll take him to the office.”
She dragged him down the halls.
“Why arnt you in class?”
“Well when I heard there was a fight I thought it was probably you.”
“Wouldn't call it a fight. More like a sheep trying to hunt a lion. People like him drive me nuts, they don't know when to fucking stop talking.”
“Why can't you just stay out of trouble?”
“To many fucking idiots.”
“You got that right.” She giggled.
The two made it to the office.
“See ya later Kuro.”
“Whatever.” She left.
Mori slouched in one of the seats waiting for the teachers and that idiot jock Enzo.
The principal came in already familiar with Mori being that he’s sent there alot.
He sighed once he saw Mori. “Of course you're here.”
“Nice to fucking see you too.”
“You here for profanity use in class again?”
“I wish. The kid from last week's brother wanted ‘revenge’.”
“Why can't you just behave like your sister?”
“‘Cause to many fucking idiots need to shut up.”
“Mai send a letter to the king for me.” The assistant did as he said. “Your father's probably tired of being called here while working.”
“Its Saturday he's probably sleeping. I bet 20 cytes on it.”
“Yeah right he's the king, he's gotta be busy at a meeting .”
The other teachers came in complaining. Enzo was sent to a dentist for his teeth. Last came the king ½ hour later, shirt buttoned wrong, shades, face unshaven and a coffee mug.
“I'm busy so make it quick.” said the king as he sipped his coffee.
“I told you so!” Mori grabbed his coffee cup and drank some. “You owe me 20 cytes, Nekozawa.”
“Did I miss something?” asked the king as he took back the cup.
“I totally knew you'd be asleep so I made a bet on it.”
“So you had me wake up and come here for stupid bet?”
The principal stepped forward. “My lord your son got in another fight today.”
“Of course you did.” replied the king as Mori grabbed the cup from his hand again.
"My lord this has become repetitive, please we just ask you control your son. We're still figuring out the details on the start and reasoning.”
“Dammit Mori stop taking my cup, your to young to drink coffee!”
Mori laughed as he sipped it. “Its just coffee.”
“Coffee will make you short.”
“Says the 6’2” coffee chugger.”
King turned to the principal.“Nekozawa, how longs the suspension?”
“I'd rather not suspend him but that's only if we get him to behave?”
“I can try to keep him in check but it's not like I can hold his hand all day at school. Well Kuro could.”
“You must be speaking of Kuroyuki, she’s an amazing student. It's quite pleasure to have her attending out school.”
Mori complained. “Kuro’s a straight A student, she gets along with everyone. Kuro’s so pretty and perfect I wish I were Kuro… Go fuck yourself.”
The king sighed. “Can you put Kuro in all of his classes, sure that’ll fix the problem?”
“You wouldn't dare?!”
“If you think that’ll work. Sorry to bother you my lord. I should've thought of it myself.” Said the principal.
“Glad we're done here. Let's go Mori.”
The bell rang and students all stopped and stared as their sloppy looking king passed by with Mori following him.
The jocks brother who Mori got in a fight and week ago stood before them. “Shiki you jerk how dare you hurt my brother?!”
“Not you again.” replied Mori. “Let's just go.”
The king went up to the kid and took his shades off. “Are you a friend of Mori’s?”
“You're the king!” kid fell to his knees. “I'm so sorry my lord. I didn't mean what I said.”
“You'll bow to your king but not your prince? Ha.” laughed Mori.
“I'm so sorry my lord.”
They brushed him off and made it home.
“Glad I didn't go to school. In the ice kingdom rich kids go to school, you have to pay there. Well when I lived there.”
“Lucky you. Oh and I almost forgot to say fuck you dad for putting me in class with Kuro.”
“Its the only way you’ll get good grades. I'm tired of having to talk to your teachers every week. Now your little sister will baby sit you in class. It's your falt for not doing well, I don't care if you copy down your sisters answers just pass.”
“Smart idea, guess your not as stupid as you look. By the way you look like a drunk and I'm not sure you realized you grabbed your shades and not your glasses.”
“I was tired, I don't think straight when I get up.”
“I see that. Also don't you have a meeting at like noon it's like 11:45 .” He looked at his watch.
“ Wanna come?”
“Not like I have anything to do here anyway. Place is boring by itself.”
Once they were both property dressed Mori asked. “If I got a girlfriend would you let her chill here?”
“You have a girlfriend?!”
“No but if I did would you?”
“Ummmm I don't know. I feel like Kuro wouldn't like it but I wouldn't mind as long as she's respectful. Do you have your eyes on someone?”
“Yeah but I wanna ask her out but her dad's terrifying.”
“Is she from around here?”
“She's Loch from the ice.”
“I knew a Loch from the ice once but that's not important. She's from the ice so that’ll be a problem. As long as she knows the universe language you to can talk. Plus no grudges against the fire. Wait have you even met her? Not some girl you saw once.”
“Her brothers a good friend of mine and while you were ‘dead’ I crashed at his place a few times and met her.”
“You didn't do it or anything, right?”
“I haven't even asked her out! What makes you think I'm done it?!”
“Nice to know you like to be in a relationship before doing it. Back to your lack of dating skills and virginity well you could wing it at a bar and see how it goes.”
“Would that work?”
“I was kidding, but it might. People don't think straight when there drunk.”
“Right.”
“ If her dad disapproves of you then ask her out when he's not around then he can't stop you. Take her somewhere that she'd enjoy even if you don't pretend you do.”
“That's it?”
“And be confident, no girl like a guy who's a puss.”
“I think I'm ready.” You got this Mori, we're off to the ice kingdom anyway. I could just fly there with dad and while he's at the meeting see if Kirai will go out with me.
Once at the ice castle Fire king wished him luck and he was off to Kirai’s.
Made it there on foot so he wouldn't draw attention. Ready he stood tall, took a deep breath and knocked. No reply so he tried again a few more times but no response. Over hyped and now disappointed he made it over to the local bar.
Sitting alone drinking, over came someone to hangout. A fellow drunk.“What brings you here?”
“I was gonna ask a girl out but she wasn't home so I came here bumbed out plus my dad's here for politics so I'm waiting on him and got nothing better to do. What brought you here?” replied Mori.
“Curiosity I guess. Find someone to hangout with.”
“Guess your a lucky lady that I needed someone to hang with too.”
The two looked at eachother and blushed. “Your faces so red, you must be drinking to much.”
“Your such is as red as your hair, I'm not that drink.”
“You mean drunk you dork.”
“I know what I saaaaid, ima prince bet you didn't know that. I be ruling all the fireballs and kicking butts!”
“That's so cool!”
“Yeah but I'll kinda be sad ‘cause my pa will probs be dead when it happens and that’ll really suck not having parents and stuff.”
“Yeah that sucks.” She grabbed his hand. “But just know I'll be there.”
“I fucking love bars!” he grabbed her and kissed her drunk as hell.
