Continuation...
[spoiler]After all by the looks of it she had another 'Maruki episode' where she got too embarrassed and now was zoned out again. "I think you broke her again Xavier, quick! lets draw on her face!" "Your so mean, alright I guess we'll jut have to wait for her to come out of it, I should really watch what I say." he said as he then looked to both his sister's.
Taking Maruki's hand so she wouldn't be standing in the middle of the field with her black out look in her eyes he began to head to the small house now, smiling as he came to the door and the twins rushed in first. Getting his mother when she came over to the door she paused, almost unable to contain herself from hugging him tightly and spinning in place. She was taller than him by about 4 inches and had long red hair, a fair face and a womanly body, resembling the amount of kids she had as her wide hips swayed every time she walked.
Pulling his ear now the happy moment seemed to take a weird turn, "Xavier, why did you call! Showing up her out of the blue like this, you nearly made me drop some plates I had!" She said with a stern look as Xavier groaned at the ear pulling, trying to escape but soon she stopped and gave him another hug. "I'm glad your safe and sound here though sweetie..." Smiling Xavier nodded and hugged her back, "Thanks mom..."
Letting her go soon after he pointed to Maruki with a simple gesture as she was with him as well after all, "Oh hello there Maruki, I see your coming along with Xavier too, have you went and gone to see your parents yet?" Waiting for her answer Xavier began to take a small look around his old home, everything looked the same except for how they arranged furniture. It was still dusty as ever but he enjoyed the dust, it was like a novelty.
The man had no warning to being socked strait in the gems, by the kids foot that is, dropping to the floor as he groaned and whined another guard simply laughed at him as two of them walked over. "Looks like your having trouble there haha~ can't even handle a little kid any more? Geez and you call yourself a black spade, anyways fun's over, get the hell out of here kid before you get hurt, I don't think you want to pick a fight with guys that came from the grand line." One of the other men warmed as the people here seemed oblivious o what was going on.
Maruki kinda stayed a bit out of it as Xavier led her to his old home, well...he was more dragging as she was taking kinda slow steps as she was tugged along, then as his mother talked to him Maruki kinda stayed a bit out of it the whole time, till his mother looked at her and asked her something "we are sorry but Maruki is currently experiencing technical difficulties, please leave a message after the Wha.....Wha~~~" she was still kinda out of it really.
Inside her head one could imagine the little Maruki crew were frantically trying to restart the brain as the little captain Maruki sighed and facepalmed "Never in all my time as a captain have I ever had a Maruki that had so many breakdowns....Can someone please find out WHY this keeps happening and FIX it?" she sighed as she looked up at the little maruki's currently trying to restrain Sane Maruki.
"and someone toss that trouble maker in a closet or something and lock her inside it, I don't want her causing anymore trouble or trying to put more sighs on the main portholes...and someone please clean those signs off the portholes" all over the eyes were sighs calling for help and the like that several little Maruki's were busily taking down now. and as the two dragging Sane Maruki away passed the Brain she kicked out and managed to knock something back into place as the brain started up again.
Back in the normal world Maruki shook her head and then looked around "huh? where? why? oh? hi there Wha~~" she smiled at Xavier's mom as she ran her question bath through her head "yeah we already talked to my folks, I think they are interested in a nice family meal both families showing up and just hanging out Wha~~ OH and this is Noodles Wha~~" she pointed to the bunny that had nested in her hair after she told her about the family dinner Idea.
"and the little guy that scuttled on by you is Scuttles Wha~~" she said with a giggle as Scuttles had indeed slipped passed her and was already busily cleaning and dusting, his little crab-bot brain making him wanna tidy up at least a little as a greeting, a content bubbling purr escaping him "and don't worry he is harmless Wha~~ he just likes to take care of things...like the ship...any cleaning he sees needing to be done things like that Wha~~" she giggled a bit more.
Jericho felt accomplished, he had successfully brung an adult to their knees. Well, not his knees exactly, but it was good enough to make him feel good about himself. His head was filled with a bunch of wonder and glee, he couldn't wait to tell the others about what he had done today! Well, he really hoped that they'd understand he was doing it for the sake of justice, but he knew he was doing it because it was simply something to do.
Then some of the guy's friends had come over and said something about him being a little kid. Okay, for one thing, he was pretty sure he wasn't that young...or looked that young either. Another thing, he was pretty sure that these were the guys that had thrown the man overboard, they were the ones that he was looking for. Well, they all looked alike in their black suits and shizz, so maybe he was just imagining it or something. Whatever, he was just gonna whoop some black-suited butt until he got inside of that office they were so keen on guarding.
"Grand Line huh? Why do I keep running into nutjobs that keep claiming they came from the place?" He said with a sigh. Just remembering that wannabe musician was enough to make him upset, not to mention the terrible music he played. Well since these guys were so sure they were up for a battle with him, he wouldn't keep them waiting or anything. Nope, these guys were gonna get a fist to the face, a kick to the nads, and...well...whatever else he'd have to do to kick their butts!
Feeling like an eventual hero, he believed it time to do some much needed taunting. "Hey, you losers say the Black Spades are so cool, just wait 'til I'm through with ya!" He said, smirking as he unsheathed his sword. "I may not know much about cards, but it won't matter when I send you mooks home to your pervy dads!"
Xavier's mother gave a simple nod to her as she soon snapped out of her small daze, both herself and her son kinda wondering why she was in one but only Xavier could give a good guess to it as his sister's wen into the back rooms. Seeing Scuttles and Noodles she giggled, "Aww, they are so cute, I wish I could just keep both of you~...and I could see a ship docking from the sea only a few minutes ago, it was built like one of your parents designs but I didn't think it was theirs completely...it lacked something...let me guess, thats the sip you built right?"
Smiling she was pretty observant of her surroundings, a quality that got Xavier in trouble a lot, while she was talking Stacey had began to go around the farm, heading to the barn as she looked around at her place of birth. Where she grew up, it brought up a lot of fun memories related to Xavier's and Maruki as she really felt like Xavier's sister almost. "Well I think we can call the company which we got scuttles to maybe give you one as a present but I don't know if he would just follow you...unless scuttles wants too that is."
Looking down to the bubbling robot he perked up when the door was knocked on, wondering who it might be he walked over and opened it, seeing Niteo at the door he smiled and opened it fully for him. "Hey you made it, come in we just got here actually after visiting Maruki's parents...hm, looks like Jericho is still sight seeing a bit, hopefully he doesn't get himself into trouble..." Briefing him a bit at what he missed so far he let him into the small home in which he was born.
It wasn't a great house but it was nice none the less, thanks to the money supplied by his father when he was alive it was pretty standard to have a medium sized house with an upstairs for bed rooms while everything else looked to be situated like it was some what new. Stepping t the side he let his mom greet Niteo with a simple smile and light bow, "Hello there, you must be Niteo, Xavier's told me a bit about you and how you never take off your helmet too Hehehe~" Giggling the red haired woman smiled to him, she had a warm glow about her that seemed very inviting and happy.
Looking over to the food she was cooking Xavier pointed it out as he was slightly hungry, he had eaten not to long ago but he was becoming noon and a snack sounded great. "Hey mom, can we get some of that when we have this get together with Maruki's family?" Looking to the stew she was making she nodded and went over to check on it, Xavier learned most of his cooking talents from his mother while his sisters took more of a protective fighter role that his dad had. Of course he inherited that too but only later on in his life while his sister's would just only start learning to cook right about now.
"Yep, but it will be a while befroe its fully done, maybe an hour of simmering, you guys can stay around here if you like? There's plenty to explore around the farm and if you feel like just staying and kicking up your feet then feel free, that go's mostly for your Mr. Niteo since your our guest here." After all Xavier and also Maruki were probably very relaxed in this house, on the other hand Niteo was new to this place and so he would probably not feel to welcomed unless given permission to do things.
Sitting down in a dinning room chair Xavier sighed and st reached, loving the feel of his old couch, it still had the butt groves in it from when he sat in it too. "Thanks mom, well I guess we just relax here for a bit unless you guys want to do something else. I wish Jericho was here but meh, he's off doing his own thing, best not to tie him down with our little activities." Though he was tempted to see what he was up too by calling him on his den den mushi.
Meanwhile it was almost as if karma was messing with what Xavier predicted as the men saw him pull to a sword the man that got kicked in the junk got up with a groan and growled. The two other men did notice he had a sword before but didn't think it was real, however with the light dancing off the edges it was indeed real. And it seemed pulling out a weapon in here was a big no no as soon about 10 guys from around the room pulled out guns on Jericho, there were a total of 30 guys in this room alone, never mind the floor on the ship he was on as it was well above 100.
"Kids got balls I can say that...hm, wait...I think I've seen you before haven't I?" Jericho might not know what he meant by that but he would probably learn as he soon said, "Oh shit! your that guy from that bounty hunter crew that took down Maliry and her crew, I'd recognize that stupid hat anywhere!" Pausing the guy got a bit scared, however he wasn't too scared as he looked around.
"But where's your friends at, hm? You might have 10 threat but compared to the others your not so scarey when your with out back up~" Pulling out a gun as well they were pointed at him from all side, and even threw all this the people in the casino paid it no mind, still drinking the beverages and eating the odd treats they gave out for free. Something else was going on in here...However they did have enough politeness to take people out of the area, but they seemed hooked on the game they were playing, as if they were zombies almost but the light outside snapped them out of it as they regained their senses.[/spoiler]
---------------------------
It was at this point Xavier began to snap out of his day dream as he was reminded of his past, this small memories about his old life making him miss his old friends and what not but he wouldn't dwell on it too much, he had to find out more about this place and see what it had to hold. After all he knew most of his friends were now gone from that world so their was no returning to it but maybe in this world he could try to let his mind not stick around those images and thoughts. Ones of Maruki, Jericho, and the others...it was all a bit painful to really think about but maybe he would try to not let his mind wonder like that, for now he would answer his question. "Yeah, we worked up a sweat, might be better to find a nice place to take a shower and relax." He said back as he looked around. Maybe the inn had rooms available?
