It's beginning to look Alot like Trouble p2

"Don't go to the kitchen! it's occupied." Jihi said blocking the way as Jade tried to go into the kitchen, "You're kidding? occupied by who?! but I'm hungry!" Jade whined.

"YOU CAN'T!" Jihi shouted, suddenly they heard a loud moaning noise coming from the kitchen.

"Was that Aroon?! what's going on?!" Jade Asked with bugging eyes, "You...are you that hungry? then dress-Up, I'll take you out to eat." Jihi replied while pushing Jade back to where she came from.

"Really?!...wait at this hour?! there isn't many places that should still be open at this time! this is Christmas." Jade said.

"Then we can get some snacks and drinks! just hurry-up Jade." Jihi replied, still pushing her.

...Few minutes later...

"I'll be across the street, I need to get something quickly from the pharmacy so pick anything you like and wait for me to come back, I'll pay." Jihi said before walking away, "Thank you!" Jade said happily.

Chuckling,"Tch, she didn't even try to oppose or say that's she'll pay instead...*Mumbling* I'm going crazy now, I think she's adorable, just like a puppy." Jihi spoke to themselves while Crossing the street.

Inside, Jade was thinking about what snack she wanted to eat, was it sweet or savory? maybe she wanted both or something entirely else.

She was moving aimlessly until her eyes landed on a Cookies box, it was the last box there and she remembered how Jihi likes cookies Alot, so she thought of grabbing the box.

But the moment her hand reached for it, it accidentally touched another person's hand.

"I'm sorr-!" she was to apologize when she realized who that person was, "Uh?! it's you!"

"Sour mood you're here?!" Mallory replied visibly annoyed, "Wassup Rude Shawty." Jade replied.

"The fuck did you just call me?"

"You called me sour mood first Sis!"

"MERDE! out if all the bitches in the world, it should be you shopping in the same store." Mallory said rolling her eyes.

"Must be fate!" Jade said smirking at her, "Fate Must hate me." Mallory replied.

"Indeed, you'd be the least interesting character Mall, if this was a story."

"Please Fuck off and give me my cookies."

"Your cookies?! I reached for them first."

"Jade, I'm already having a bad day...let go of the box." Mallory said trying to get the box for herself, but Jade was as strong as she was.

"Mom invited you to party, you could've shown-up and had a better day! it's not my fault you're miserable and lonely...is it true you had a fight with Muriel? is that why you didn't come to the party?" Jade replied while successfully snatching the box for herself.

"Hold on, I'm miserable? look at you! nobody likes you, and you don't like anybody...sounds to me like you're going to be as miserable and lonely as I am Jade."

"Even without a love life, At least I'm involved with my family! and everyone except you Loves me!" Jade replied.

"You're right about that, I don't like you!...I wonder how you got raised, don't you know you should respect your elders?"

"Oh really?! Btw, did you use the 'we ran out of milk' excuse when you ran away Mallory?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Shitty bitch...pay attention to your own goddamn kid before you try to lecture someone else's." Jade replied.

"I DIDN'T RUN AWAY?!" Mallory shouted, "Always with the temper, you keep changing to the worst Mallory." Jihi spoke out of nowhere.

The two Alpha women turned around to see Jihi standing with a plastic bag in their hands, "I went for a second to get Nicotine Gum for the girl I left behind to get herself some snacks...and what do I find? two rich Alpha women fighting over a box of cookies." Jihi said.

"I wanted to get the cookies for you, you know I'd feel bad if I'm the only one eating something." Jade explained.

"I know, you're a good kid." Jihi said, "I'm not a kid." Jade said disappointed.

"Yuri..."

"Mallory please, don't call me that."

"Yuri? is that your real name Jihi?" Jade asked curiously, "What happened to you?! why are you like this! you came to my house that day I thou-!" Mallory spoke but got cut off midway by Jihi.

"I came hoping to see you one last time, apologize for the past and wish you a better life,

Mallory, there's nothing left between us, there shouldn't be anything between us from the start...let's just let it go, like we both did to our son." Jihi replied.

"Son?!" Jade mumbled surprised, "Yuri! we messed-up, I messed-up but we can start over!"

"No Mallory! I'm not doing this again, not with you...You got another shot at life, so find someone else because I'm no longer in love with you."

"I lost everything, even my kingdom...I can't lose you!" Mallory said.

"Please live your life and forget about me." Jihi said bowing one time before they grabbed Jade's hand, walking away.

Jade was beyond confused but she walked hand in hand with Jihi, while glancing over her shoulder at a fuming Mallory.

Then, Jihi quickly paid for the cookies box and exited the Store.

Mallory followed them outside and shouted, "I TOLD HIM ABOUT YOU! YUREI KNOWS...I'M SORRY."

"Yurei?" Jade mumbled underneath her breaths while Jihi turned around one last time to face Mallory, they gave the blonde female alpha the middle finger before rushing away with Jade, still holding her hand.

...Few minutes later...

"So Yurei is your kid?...what happened then, to you and Mallory? apparently you loved Each Other at some point." Jade said sipping on the coffee Jihi bought for her, the two of them sat inside a Stopbucks store, it was surprisingly Open at this late time during Christmas.

"We did, but it was hell...she went crazy when I broke-up with her...I even gave her some expensive contract documents to try and make it up for her at the time." Jihi replied.

"I don't get how doing that would help anyone get over a breakup, but you are Jihi after all! a business-person at heart...and a socially awkward person.

Anyways, according to what I know... Mallory abandoned her post the next day after Yurei was born, correct?"

"Not exactly, she probably wanted to find me because I ran away first as soon as I gave birth."

"Listen, I'm not gonna pressure you into talking, so If you don't want to then it's fine, I know people don't trust me with Their secrets because I run my mouth." Jade said.

To her surprise, Jihi removed the bucket hat they wore covering their head, alongside with the shades.

"Ok wow!...you're so pretty...I mean beautiful...I mean that's not the point."

"Jade darling focus."

"Ok!"

"You can call me Yuri from now on, I don't want to hide anymore.

I have to make it up for Yurei and the others, Especially Muriel, since he had to take care of My kid at such a young age." Yuri spoke, "Ok Yuri, quick question about Aroon...It seems like you have something to do with him too, what exactly?" Jade asked.

"Aroon and I were both runaways...runaway slaves that is." Yuri replied, "Oh shit...sorry about that." Jade said with a Shocked expression.

"He was like a family to me as children, we ran away together but got separated...He ended-up somewhere in a town between Junglaya and Derora."

"Somewhere between Junglaya and Derora?"

"The town where the Style family mansion was located in, they lived somewhere between the two kingdoms."

"Huh? really?" Jade said surprised, "Yes, although Registered as Derorians primarily, that family belonged to both sides as they had a job granted from both kingdoms.

Aside from being That town's only noble family, They were to manage trading between the borders of Derora and Junglaya, and guard the borders as well...At the beginning, they were an honest family doing their job and insuring Peace and a smooth trading process...but things took a dark turn." Yuri explained.

"Oh wow...what about you? what happened to you?"

"Shortly after the Style mansion bursted into flames The very first time, I ended-up getting scouted to be a witch for the Jihi that was in charge at the time."

"And Faunus? how did you guys get to know each other?" Jade asked, "We crossed paths accidentally, I was seriously injured, i nearly died and he saved my life." Yuri replied.

"So you guys became friends?"

"Yes, we became very good friends, and thanks to him, I got reunited with Aroon.

But it seemed like Aroon and Faunus didn't see eye to eye, so whenever Faunus wanted to open-up, he would talk to me.

Then one day, Faunus asked me to return the favor of him saving my life and sent me to get something for him outside the town right before he died.

I didn't know that he just saved my life for the second time, until I met Aroon who survived and told me Faunus died the first time, alongside the Style family...I became a Witch to return the favor to him again." Yuri explained.

"Why does Fernando has it for the style family?!" Jade asked.

"The Style family, you already heard about them adopting kids from rich families."

"Yeah, after his real parents died, Faunus got adopted but Faunus's adoptive parents died too later on."

"There was a rumour that the Style family killed those Rich people and adopted their last surviving kid."

"WHAT?!" Jade shouted, "But the rumors wasn't just a rumour...Henrietta Style, the head of the family admitted to Aroon that they did kill those people, when Fernando attacked them the first time." Yuri replied.

"Wait, but Orlando, Fernando...why leave those kids behind?!" jade asked.

"Apparently last surviving kid meant that they select the child that suits them best, and get rid of that child's unwanted siblings, if the kid had any siblings.

According to my informations, the Style had no killing children rule, they can kidnap but not kill.

So they'd get rid of the extras by giving them to other less fortunate families looking for children to raise.

As long as the adoptive family hide the child's true identity, and give them new names...in the end they need one heir to join The Style clan." Yuri explained.

"What the fuck...no wonder Fernando was after them! They killed his parents, took his twin brother and left him behind."

"It doesn't stop there, The Style family... committed many other crimes, in order to have control over the nobles and Royal families in both Derora and Junglaya.

They managed to drive Thorn's parents out of the throne, and Because of it, Thorn became a king at a very young age.

They went as far as kidnapping Muriel as a child, twice...They are most likely the suspects in Muriel's parents sudden death...And.."

"And?" Jade asked, "Mallory's disappearance." Yuri replied.

"Wait, didn't Mallory run away?"

"At first yes, she did leave on her free will, and when I heard the news I tried to find her, I went to the beach house, since that's where she usually hides...but I wasn't able to find her there."

"What makes you believe that the Style family had something to do with her disappearance?"

"Because the second time they should have been murdered, Fernando casted his spell on your mom and his friends instead...

Since they survived, the Style family joined the war between the nobles Thanks to their status, and won the throne." Yuri replied.

"What?! how?!" Jade asked shocked.

"Apparently, they had a document signed by Mallory...that gives them the right to take the throne for themselves." Yuri replied, "Mallory was forced to sign it." they added.

It was at that moment when Jade remembered What Mallory told her,

"I DIDN'T RUN AWAY!"
