Bitchy Big Sister!

"Why Are You In My Room So Early In The Morning?!," Came Aaron's rather brusque voice.

"Ow, Let Go of Me!," Michelle struggled, twisting free of her Brother's grasp and not wanting to hurt his Sister Aaron let her go.

Michelle looked up at her Brother while nursing her sore wrist before kicking him in the shin again only this time Aaron didn't move. He didn't show any signs of even having felt a thing. Michelle on the other hand yelped out loud in pain while cradling her foot in her hands and hopping in place on one foot., "Ow! Ow! Ow!"

Aaron found the whole thing quite comical but he didn't so much as crack a smile.

Aaron repeated his question., "Why. Are. You. Here?"

Knowing his Sister's temper as he did, Aaron braced himself for another hit but instead Michelle straightened and the pain momentarily forgotten she began her interrogation anew., "Never Mind What I'm Doing Here! What Is That Whore Doing Here?! Is That What You're Into You Sick Pervert?!"

Aaron sighed, lowering his head and pinching the bridge of his nose before shaking his head and speaking., "I don't know what I did to garner such a low opinion from my own Sister..."

Michelle's expression went from merely being annoyed to full-on Pissed-The-Fuck-Off but she didn't say anything.

"... But Sydney is only a colleague from work..."

Before he could say anything else a very angry Michelle cut him off., "Colleague?! Colleague... What Kind of FUCKING colleague DRESSES LIKE THAT?!!"

Before Aaron could respond she fired off a series of rapid-fire punches aimed at his face. Aaron deftly dodged every one while jumping back.

"Stop Dodging You FUCKING PERVERT... Are You A Man or A PUSSY?!"

Aaron instantly stopped and took the very next punch from his Sister square on the nose. He didn't flinch even as the sound of bone crunching could be heard and a small stream of blood made its way from his left nostril and a small tear formed in Aaron's right eye.

As Michelle pulled back and looked at the blood on her knuckles, Aaron bent down and looked her straight in the eyes with an expression that said "Are You Finished?."

Michelle looked back and forth from her bloody knuckles to the blood oozing from her Brother's crooked nose and for a second there was a look of profound shock and horror. It looked like she might begin sobbing and begging for forgiveness but once that second of genuine concern and regret passed her previous bitchy expression reasserted itself full **** and she looked like she wanted to punch him again.

Aaron stood straight and proceeded to straighten his tie before saying., "Are you satisfied? Can I explain?"

Michelle bit her lip, drawing a small drop of blood.

"Sydney is my Boss's personal driver and she drove me home because I worked late. She was fatigued from all the long hours she's been working lately and she fell asleep not long after we pulled into the garage so I brought her up stairs so she would be more comfortable rather than leave her sleeping in the car."

It was clear from her expression that she didn't believe a word he was saying which didn't surprise Aaron in the least. Of all his Sisters, Michelle was the most willing to believe the worst about him and admittedly not everything he had just told her was the truth but she didn't need to know about the events of the previous night after all how would her knowing change anything. Telling her wouldn't change the fact that a group of people had tried to kill him or that he had taken their lives with his own hands and felt nothing while doing it. It had been kill or be killed... plain and simple.

Michelle stepped in close and poked her Brother in the chest with her finger while speaking., "If She's Really Just A Colleague Then Why Is She Dressed Like That, Huh?!"

Aaron sighed in annoyance., "She is also my Boss's Bodyguard and that...," Aaron gestured toward Sydney., "... Is a tactical skinsuit which is designed to offer as much protection as possible while safeguarding body function and only minimally reducing mobility."

"Pfft, You Really Expect Me To Believe That Pile of Shit... As If?! That Kind of Lie Might Work On Big Sis or Mom But I Know The Truth!"

Aaron's face hardened., "And what is the truth?"

Michelle poked Aaron in the chest several times as she spoke., "The Truth... [Poke]... Is... [Poke, Poke]... That YOU... [POKE]... Are A... [Poke, Poke]... Dirty... [Poke]... Little Perv!"

"I've already explained her presence so if you're not going to tell me why you're in my room so early in the morning then just leave. I have neither the time nor the inclination to deal with your mood swings."

"How Can You Talk To Me Like That?!," Michelle grumbled indignantly, grabbing Aaron by the arm as he turned to walk away.

Aaron turned to face his Sister., "Because I'm tired of having to walk on eggshells around you. Everyday Its like you're a different person... First you're playing footsie with me under the table and then you accuse me of cheating on my Girlfriend who I might add you don't even like."

Michelle stood in shocked silence. It wasn't like what he was saying wasn't true but she still didn't like it.

Aaron grabbed his Sister by the shoulders, She tried to resist but Aaron held her firmly., "I've tried and I've tried but for the life of me I can't figure out what I could have done to make my own Sister despise me."

Michelle stiffened.

"OW!," Exclaimed Aaron as his Sister ground the heel of her foot into the top of his and pushed him away. Aaron stumbled backward but he regained his balance quickly.

"HOW DARE YOU! I Can't Believe You! You Don't Know... You Really Don't Know?!"

It was clear to Aaron that he had pissed his Sister off more than he ever had before. Her head was lowered with her fists clenched at her side and she was shaking.

Aaron hadn't expected what came next. His Sister grabbed him by the head and headbutted him. If his nose hadn't been broken before it definitely was now but that didn't hurt nearly as bad as what came next. Michelle dropped her hands to her Brother's shoulders and pulled him forward at the same time she buried her knee in his groin, lifting him off the floor momentarily.

"Sis I...," Aaron started in a pained gasp, reaching toward his Sister with one hand while the other one placed on his knee supported his weight but she angrily slapped his hand away and stormed toward the door, stomping the floor like she was trying to break it., "Don't Flatter Yourself! Who Would Waste Time DESPISING A WRETCHED LITTLE WORM LIKE YOU?!!"

The door to Aaron's room slammed behind his departing Sister so hard that the entire room felt like it was shaking.

Aaron sighed, his outstretched hand dropping to his other knee in defeat., "No Matter How Hard I Try Women Are Still A Mystery To Me... That One In Particular."

It took Aaron several minutes before he could stand straight again but when he finally did he was ready to put his latest encounter with his Sister behind him., "On The Bright Side I Won't Have To Take Another Cold Shower But That Was A Painful Way To Get Rid of An Erection."

After resetting his horribly broken nose, Aaron turned and headed to Knowhere to hopefully get a few answers to the mysteries that had recently begun plaguing him. Just before entering Knowhere Aaron stopped and looked quizzically over his shoulder.

"I Don't Remember That Rip In Her Shorts.," Thought Aaron as he flashed back to his Sister angrily stomping out of his room and slamming the door behind her. Aaron focused on his memory of his Sister's rather abrupt departure and rewound the memory to just after she kneed him in the groin and he winced from the remembered pain. He froze the memory just as she turned to leave and looked closely. Aaron conjured a second memory for comparison and viewed the two side beside in a sort of mental split-screen inside his head and sure enough the rip hadn't been there before. The second memory was of his Sister bending over Sydney which he lingered on only briefly before he **** it to move forward until it reached the point where he had freeze-framed the other memory.

"Just As I Thought The Rip Wasn't Present When I First Came Into The Room But It Appeared Shortly After...," Aaron gulped., "... After My Mind Started To Wander. No, It Has To Be A Coincidence... It Has To Be. There Is No Way That That Actually Happened."

A very concerned expression crossed Aaron's face before relaxing again., "What Am I Worried About... It's Not Possible. If I Had Really Done That To My Sister She Would Have Surely Castrated Me Without A Doubt."

Dismissing his concerns, Aaron stepped into Knowhere as a momentary wave of nausea swept over him and everything faded to black for what felt like several seconds before he emerged into Knowhere. Aaron turned slightly and looked back at the way he had came, seeing nothing but a solid wall.

"I Know The Transition Is Instantaneous But Why Does It Seem To Take So Long?," Aaron wondered to himself with a frustrated sigh., "No Matter How Much I Adjust The Spatial Co-Ordinates There Is Still A Lag In The Transfer... Oh Well, I Don't Think Anyone Else Would Even Notice. I Guess I Shouldn't Get Hung Up On Trivialities."

Aaron turned back and headed toward the massive computer that dominated the huge room and spoke to the cute, smiling face on the screen that greeted him., "It's so good to be Back. What have you found out about those that attacked last night?"

Aaron took a seat and listened carefully to Gog's explanation.
