Ashley's P.o.V.

I woke up with my stomach hurting. Crap. Maybe I shouldn't have eatin' four steaks then just fall asleep. Groaning, I get up from my bed. My muscles are sore. This was not a comfortable position to sleep in.

I look at my dresser and see it's 5:59 a.m. I woke up before my alarm. The clock turns to 6:00 a.m. and the alarm blares in my face the annoying tune I set it to so I could wake up. Turning it off I groaned again. "I don't wanna go to school." I said complaining to nobody. Wait... Nobody?

I looked around and saw that both mom and dad were gone. Did they seriously just leave me here?? Ugh! What about school? I swear, if they abandoned me to do some freaky stuff, I'm ignoring the both of them.

Mumbling to myself about my 'unreasonable and dumb' parents, I got up out of my bed and got ready for school. It's still barley Wednesday. A lot has seriously happened within the last few days; I broke up with my boyfriend, Got another one who is the son to my uncle, Found out my parents are getting married, and Uncle Mamo tried being an uncle. Holy shit, this is a lot to take in. I just hope that nothing else insane comes up.

Looking through my closet, I picked out my blue, black, and gray plad shirt dress thingy. And I grabbed my light blue pre-torn jeans. Then I shuffle away to the shower. When im done with my shower, I get out and get dressed for school. Looking through my jewelry, I take out black beads and a black lock/clock/ key necklace.I don't keep my hair down letting my natural wavy hair just settle.

Man, I really needed that shower. All this wedding planning shit has got me stressed out. Hmm.... The wedding plans. I look over to my plans being all over my bed and pick up a random note. Oh. It's my bridesmaids and groomsmen. I don't really have a fourth bridesmaid. I just left it blank.

I need a fourth bridesmaid. I wonder who would be good for it.... Omg! I just realized who would be perfect for it! She loves weddings, and she's my most favorite cousin of all time!! Lily-Anne! It's funny; she goes to my school but I haven't seen her in two months. Her parents tend to travel a lot by themselves. But this time they took her with them. They took her to California. Lucky.

Wait.... Would she even be back in time? I quickly take out my phone and check my calendar to see when she'd be coming back. I let out a sigh of relief when my calendar tells me that she is coming back in a week. Ah.... Timing loves me right now.

Right after school I'll see if I can get in touch with her to ask her. Mom and dad won't mind. They are too in love to care who their bridesmaids are. Besides, they also know that I wouldn't ruin this for them. I've been waiting for this for far too long.

As I put on my light blue converse, a cheerful chime goes off from my phone. That's moms ringtone.

Hey.

Mother. I was mad. She left me here!

You're mad. I knew you'd be mad. Ashley honey I'm sorry. I was just having such a fun and beautiful night with your father. I didn't want it to end anytime soon, so we went to his secret house and we-

Eww. Mom. I don't need to know what kinda freaky stuff you two did. *sigh* I guess if you two were having fun I can let bit slide just this once.

Thank you Ashley!

That was a different voice. Haha.

You're welcome dad! But just this once! You hear me Mr!?

Yes ma'am. Loud and clear. *shuffling* Okay I'm back Ashley. I'll be there in five or ten minutes to take you to school. Okay?

Okay mom. Love you.

Love you too Ashley. *sound* Hey! I want love too!!

I love you too daddy!

*squealing, and from background:* she called me daddy again!! Did you hear it?! I'm daddy!! *back close to phone* Love you.

And the phone call ended. Dad is so weird about being called daddy. Its funny. But I love him. How can I not?

As promised, seven minutes later mom is here to pick me up. I grab my baackpack and head out the door. I get in moms car and she looks at me apologetically.

"Ashley...." She starts, but I cut her off. "Mom. It's fine, really. All that matters to me is your happiness. Just.. Next time it happens, tell me about it. Deal?" "Deal. Wow. You have no idea how relived I am, we were both worried that you were going to ignore us." I laugh and turn on the radio. The song Cant Sleep Love by Pentatonix comes on and I immediately turn it up and start to sing along.

Ariving at school, I say by to mom and head to the library as usual, but then I stop in my tracks. Raito.... H-he is always in the library too. And we just beike up. What do I do? Go in? Stay away? Ugh, all this relationship stuff is new to me and I hate it. Too confusing for me.

Suddenly an arm slips it's way to my wrist. Surprised I turn around and come face to face with Sano. Oh thank goodness. I was worried for a moment there, I thought he was someone else.

"Sano. Hey." I lean up a bit and peck him on the cheek. He shakes his head in disapproval then leans down to get my lips. " You missed." He sais with a flirtatious smile. I turn my head away and feel my face flush.

I think he's developing his own version of the 'angelic smile.' He might just be the death of me. I really do love him.

"Common, babe. Lets go to the library." "Huh?" I turn back towards him. "Well, it's where you usually go isn't it?" I nod slowly. "B-But.... Umm...." I don't really want to run into Raito. It would just be to awkward, if you ask me.

Sano looks at me sternly. "Babe. Listen to me. Never let an ex ever stop you from doing something or going somewhere that you love. It just ends badly. Got it?" I sigh and realize that he's right. I cannot let Raito stop me from being me.

And so, we were on your way to the library. This is good, right? I mean, I was going to have to face him eventually. He is in everone of my classes. And so is Sano. So this is good.

Baba's P.o.V.

Evelyn left to go pick up and drop off Ashley at school. I walked back to the Tres Spades and into the lounge. When I got into the lounge I saw Ota and Mamoru were on the couch. Just sitting there as if they were waiting for me. "Hey guys. What's up?"

Ota immediately gets up and hugs me. "Umm. Ota? Not that I don't like them.... But, why are you hugging me?" "I'll wait for Soryu and Eisuke to get here to tell you everything. There is a lot to discuss." "No hints on the topic? About what's going on?" "Nope!" Ota answers me with a cheery voice and gives me his famous 'angelic smile.' I shrug. "Oh well. Thought it was worth a shot at least." This is leaving me suspicious. Verrry suspicious.

Eisuke comes in first from his suite, grumbling things about it being early and how he wanted coffee. About five minutes later Soryu comes in from the elevator with Samejime and Inui right behind him. "Okay everyone," starts Ota. "The reason you are here is because we all need to help Baba." I was confused. "Huh? What do you mean 'help me?' Like with the wedding planning? Because, I know my little Ashley is on top of it." Ota shook his head. "No Baba, not with the wedding. I mean, with protection."

I am silent for a moment. "What do you mean, protection? Protection from what?" "Sano came to me last night with some very serious news. While he was out yesterday, it seems that he's overheard some guys talking in an alleyway. He said it was three guys talking about taking or even possibly killing Evelyn and Ashley." "What?!" I am furious beyond belief. No one is ever going to take my family away from me. Ever. Not again. Especially since I just got them back. "It seems that Nakasu has returned. Well, at least Nakasu's son." I snap back from my little trans. This time it was Mamoru speaking. "He wants to get to you Baba. Nakasu's son wants them so he can get you. And once he has you, he will take you to his father. As a piece offering." Next was Soryu to speak, "So what? The kids not on good terms with his daddy so he threatens us?" "It would appear so." Answered Mamoru.

I didn't know exactly what to say right now so I just pointed out something I noticed. I turned to Soryu, "Us?" Soryu nodded to me, "If someone messes with one of us, he messes with all of us, am I right?" Everyone nodded and agreed. "We are all family. We are like brothers. It is only natrual that we stick together like this. " Eisukie spoke out this time. Again, everyone noded and agreed. "Thank you all of you." I started, "You are all great friends and brothers to me. I would most definitely appreciate your help in protecting my family." Everyone come around and gave me a hug. "I think it would be wise to not let Evelyn and Ashley know of this situation. At least not until when and if the situation goes vital. Yes?" Said Mamoru. "Yeah. Good idea."

Evelyn's P.o.V.

Parking my car, I get out already have changed into my maids uniform at Baba's house. I rush into the hotel And clock in just in time. Good. I made it in on time. Being late is not good. Chisato and Sakiko enter and punch in as well. "Good morning Evelyn." Says Sakiko in a gleeful tone. "Good morning to the both of you. What's got you so happy this morning Sakiko?" She looks at Chicago then at me. Suddenly they both start jumping up and down all around me squealing as if they were teenagers asked to go to the prom.

"Umm. Girls? What's going on?" They stop jumping and squealing to talk. "Thank you so much for letting us be your bridesmaids!! We so really appreciate it!!" Sakiko gave me her happiest girliest voice when explaining. "Ashley called us, and she told us you wanted us as your bridesmaids!! *gasp* Are the other VP members in Penthouse going to be the groomsmen?!?!" Once again they started to jump around and squeal. I felt like a teen again. This was exiting for me. So I gave into my kid side and joined them in their celebrating.

After our little squealing fest, we went back to being professional, and got to work. It was a long and hard work us three. Especially with Erika and her Tweedle Dee-Tweedle Dum team bugging us every five stinking minutes. I know it's bad to think about, but what if one day. Maybe Erika just slipped and- No! I cannot think that way. What's wrong with me? I think Baba is rubbing off on me. That's a scary thought.

I can't be complaining if I got a steady job. Everyone has to deal with terrible bosses at some point. So that means that I have to deal with mine. Oh well, that's life for you. And I can't do anything about it. I'll just have to trug along with my day. Just like everyone else. At least I know that I have two people who love me,will be waiting for me to come home. And I love knowing that.
