Chapter 29

"Damn Lumic and his love for food, damn it! If he loves them so much he might as well go get the groceries himself!"

Victoria grumbled, stomped and moped carrying two paper bags on her arms that contains foods and other things that Lumic wanted her to buy, 'If he wanted to cook this much he should've been the one to buy them not me!' she stormed gritting her teeth.

'No wonder Edward thinks Lumic and Venus' are a good match, ha! They're simply so much alike' Victoria thought for second, still grumbling and cussing a few more times, sighing she wondered why did she even agree 'Oh right! He blackmailed me! Stupid night sky with his stupid blackmail'.

"Get away you little rascals! I can't have my store blocked with you damn kids!"

A man suddenly yelled making Victoria whip her head towards the source, only to find two kids being shooed away. Eyeing the two kids who were now running behind a tree, she can not help but stare at them for a minute.

One kid has light blonde hair while the other one has a black hair- huh just like night sky's hair color, out of nowhere a familiar recognition suddenly halted her walk.

'Those kids were the ones who've been spying on Lumician and I!' she thought and frowned. They've been sneaking up here and there when she and Lumician would go out sometimes, 'no wonder they seem so familiar' she thought while still stopping in her tracks.

She would and could easily spot those two anywhere they'd go, 'It may or may not be because the blonde one's too loud to really easily be heard', Victoria sweat dropped at the fact and smiled at the running and hiding two kids.

"Ran I'm hungry" grumbles the young blonde who was now sitting at the ground in a crisscross.

"And I'm not" sarcastically replied by the young black back also rolling his eyes dramatically to his friend.

And as if on cue their stomach suddenly rumbled, making Victoria somehow smirk and grin at the two. A light bulb suddenly came crushing down on the girl's amazing head, but before she could do as planned Josh again yelled giving away their hiding spot.

"And you said you were not hungry, you liar!" Josh exclaimed making Ran face-palm and shake his head in dismay.

Victoria snickered at the two but mostly to the dense blonde, getting her plan into action she then continued walking down her path and began to whistle, making two heads blonde and black watch her walk from the pavement.

Sensing that she got their attention she hummed and slowly make her ways, trying to bait them both to follow her home and oh she knows they will follow.

"Josh look! It's that girl!" Ran yelled at his partner making Victoria secretly snicker at them.

'They really don't know a thing about being quiet, do they?' she internally face palmed, oh how she'll have fun teasing this kids. 'One is like Lumic while the other is like Lumician, huh what a coincidence' trying not to laugh she bit her lip and clear her throat.

"What is she doing here?" Josh asked now on fours and silently staring at her walking figure.

"Idiot! That's the way home" Ran knocked Josh's head making the young blonde glare at his friend. Looking down both thought of the word 'home', sighing the both know it won't happen.

'Home' both silently thought, it has been a long time since they felt the feeling of being home and feeling the comfort of the people they love. They have been longing for such thing, but oh well 'It was our fault to begin with that we don't have a home anymore' thinking of the sad and harsh moment they have been through they almost dropped to the floor and sob that was until Victoria got their attention.

"Oh my, I suddenly remembered Lumic's going to make a lot of food today" Victoria loudly exclaimed making the two kids drool at the mention of food and making the sad atmosphere vanish.

"What am I going to do? I don't usually eat much, how the hell are we going to finish the food?" dramatically sighing and glancing back at the two kids who were now unconsciously following her, she mentally snickered at the two following kids.

'Oh my glob I feel like a kidnapper at this point, this is like fishing, but the fishes are two human kids, but oh well' she thought and shrugged it off, glancing now and then to the two following kids, she make sure that they were following and is out of trouble.

"We could eat a whole bunch of food right now" Josh answered but suddenly again he got hit by his friend in the head, feeling the ache he rubbed the sore spot and glared at his brother - partner in crime.

"Idiot! She'll hear you!" Ran grumbled at his friend on trying to be quiet.

Snickering by herself she can't help but feel entertained by their love-hate relationship. 'I might as well ask Lumic to make a lots of food when I get home' she mentally noted and nod her head not really bothering on watching her steps.

"What are they going to do with those foods if they can't eat them all up?" Josh questioned at his friend looking all confused and puzzled, 'Adorable' Victoria thought trying her best to stay focus and lead them to their home.

"I don't know" Ran answered shaking his head, still staring at the walking woman.

Mentally drooling the two kept on following her, but the thought of food made them both want to break into their house and eat then ran away. 'Ha! That's what Josh would gladly do' Ran face-palmed trying to suppress the emotion of really doing it.

"Oh, lookie here I'm finally home" Victoria cheered making the two spying kids halt and obviously panicking trying to hide behind a tree who was a couple of feet away.

Opening the front door Victoria happily went inside making her spies frown, 'Guess no dinner today as well' they both thought trying not to cry, sniffling and wiping their nose.

"Lumic!" Victoria hurriedly went to the kitchen where the said person could be found now tying his white and pink apron.

"Damn! You look hot- wait never mind that, we'll be having two guest tonight"

She beamed at him making Lumic raise his eyebrow in a questioning manner, but said nothing less and got to work after giving her a slight nod, grinning from ear to ear Victoria hummed and got out his way.

She timidly went to the front door and plop herself at the way, grinning widely to herself and scanning her eyes out the trees, there finally she spots the two kids. Silently she squints her eyes towards them, she suddenly felt a tug in her heart when she saw them silently crying.

"Hey brats" she suddenly called out.

Startled the duo squirm at her voice then turn at her, thinking they were now doomed. 'The cats out the bag' they slightly trembled, thinking she'd sent them back.

Sighing and still not moving from her spot, she gestured them to come. Confused Josh and Ran immediately wiped their tears away and sniffle, quietly making their way towards to her.

"What?" Josh asked all puffy and red, but still has the guts to act smugly.

"Don't 'what' me mister, what were two doing back there" Victoria squinted her eyes to the two who were now right in front of her, leaning her body forward her squinted eyes made the two tremble.

"None of your business brunette" Josh replied with a hump and having his arms crossed at his chest trying to act tough.

"What are you talking about Miss?" Ran asked politely at Victoria trying not to show that he is scared.

"Dumb kid" she scowled and looked at the other night sky.

"Back at the store" Victoria replied before muttering her own profanities to the blonde kid in front of her.

"We wanted to dine in but the owner won't let us" Ran answered while glaring at the floor, as if it was the one at fault.

She kept on staring at the two kids in front of her, placing her cheeks unto her hands she hummed and kept on staring at them making the two fidget and twiddle their hands together.

"Why won't you go home?"

She asked them, curiosity eating her brain alive, 'If they would just go home then they wouldn't have to suffer anymore won't they?' she asked herself and studied them closely.

"I- We can't, would not, and will not go back!" Josh yelled furiously at Victoria with small tears on the side of his eyes.

Taken aback, Victoria's eyes slightly grew and stared at the blonde kid in front of her, hearing his sudden outburst made her stop thinking for awhile, rubbing her head she composed herself back and sighed.

"I'm really sorry for his behavior Miss" Ran bowed his head in respect, trying not to cause some trouble that would put him and his brother in danger.

Raising his head back he was met with a smiling Victoria, Ran and Josh was quite taken aback from her sudden warm action for them, they both gawked and fidget more on their spot.

Of course the moment was quite warm, the two stopped fidgeting and smiled as well they were slowly letting their guard down, well not until Lumic suddenly came out and bump Victoria's head with a spatula.

"Dinners ready" he said grinning.

Then and there he saw two kids in front of Victoria who suddenly had sparkles in their eyes when they saw Lumic. Eye brows furrowed he was thinking of who the kids were, raising his eye brow not quite knowing of what occurred before he came out he was clueless. Opening his mouth, he was about to speak on what was on his mind to Victoria when he saw the glint in her eyes.

"You do realize what you did right, Lumic Neel?" she stated knocking her fingers one by one.

Gulping hard he suddenly regret what he did. 'Idiot! This isn't Venus' he internally screamed and panic, nervously laughing and backing away oh so slowly he grabbed the door frame tightly and screamed.

"I'M SORRY!" he yelled running inside the house.

"Come back here LUMIC NEEL! Face me you damn chicken!" she shouted at him taking a step to run at him until she glanced at the two kids who were now down and sad.

"We,will be on our way now" they both stated lowly and slowly taking a step back.

"What are you talking about?" Victoria stated furrowing her eyebrows together, tilting her head at the two sad kids.

"Aren't you coming in? Ah, before eating you need to wash up first though" she stated and opened the door wide for them to come in.

Grinning her butt off, the duo light up and beamed. Not a moment to waste they dashed in with a loud happy yell, 'Well, it's not like I kidnapped them or something' sighing she closed the door and went in with a happy smile on her face.

"Hey Vic, who are this kids?" Lumic asked popping out from the kitchen.

"Josh and Ran at your service!" the duo replied loudly bowing down at the two adults.

"We will now be in your care" Josh said cheekily, whilst Ran grinned at them showing his pure white teethes.

Victoria looked at Lumic who was now very shocked and startled facial expiression, grinning mischievously to herself she hummed and gain Lumic's attention.

"Meet your sons sweet cheeks" she teased and laugh out loud.

"SAY WHAT?!"

"Now now, off you go to the bathroom. I shall go and get some clothes for you" Victoria ushered the two kids towards the bathroom leaving a very shocked and stunned Lumic at the kitchen
