Saturday, now there was a day that could never be ignored. A day where you didn't have people bickering at you and no work to do. Just laze about and enjoy the day as it slowly went by. Plus the fact that it had now become summer only made this Saturday even better. In the Bikoura's darkened room the soft sounds of dog's feet were softly heard plotting on the floor before jumping into his master's bed and licking Bikoura on the face. "All right all right im up, gah!" He sighed and yawned and stretched before sitting up and throwing the blankets off of him and onto the bed. "All right Shadow lets get you some food." He smiled and ran his hands over the husky's muzzle and pulled on his p.j pants and a white tee-shirt.

Slowly walking out of his room with shadow trailing behind him He walked into the kitchen and noticed his secret lover standing and making herself some breakfast "Morning you." He walked over to where he kept shadow's food dish and bag of food before he scooped up some of the food and set it down for him to eat. "There ya go eat up boy."
 
The sun was a welcome diversion in this household. She awoke to the bright rays shining through her now-opened window. With one eye opened she checked around her room to see if anyone special was watching her awake. To her disappointment, there was only Mr. Sun and Wiggles, her sister's Ferret to greet her.

"Wiggles! What are you doing out of your cage... again?" She said with a half hearted smile. She hated waking up alone but seeing Wiggles did cheer her up. The rambunctious creature always slithered out of his cage and headed into his owner's sisters room. When they were younger the sisters stayed in the same room and that is what Wiggles is accustom to. Picking Wiggles up and first cradling him in her arms then giving him a slight 'bop' on the head for good measure she stuffed him in her perky breast and headed down the hall to her sister's room.
"Wiggles got out again and I told you----" She stopped when she opened the door all the way to her sister cuddled up on her lavender canopy bed with her favorite childhood stuffed animal wrapped tightly in her arms. The sun lite up the room just enough to illuminate everything it touched even her sisters porcelain skin seemed to glow with intensity. Wiggles started to squeak in her arms and she decided that he would ruin this innocent moment that was about so she quickly closed the door and headed into the kitchen.

Taking out all the materials that she would need she quickly filled the once empty space on the counter tops with Pancake Mix, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, and Hash browns. Soon the kitchen was teeming with the smell of breakfast. Not soon after, she heard the panting and claws hitting the hardwood floor of the kitchen. It was Shadow and she knew the dog only followed one person diligently in this house. He was awake now. She tried everything not to blush but her heart would not hide this emotion.

"Morning You." A familiar voice said. Her heart skipped a beat and her body began to tremble. But before she could respond he was already over at Shadow's food dish. She shook her head in displeasure and said, "Ya know... that dog gets more attention than I do."
 
Bikoura then thought about it for a second and looked at Shadow. "Oh sorry boy come on lets let you go out back for morning bathroom. Sorry boy." He laughed and grabbed his shoes and slipped them on and headed to the back yard and let Shadow go and head out" Once shadow was done with his morning bathroom break he trotted back over to Bikoura and barked. Bik laughed and just patted him on the head. "Well time for breakfast so go lay down." He walked back through the sliding glass door and to the living room and sat down watching the news as he always did.

"So tell me Sis who else is up?" He sighed and shook his head before getting up and heading over to the table to set up his plate. Once he got his plate set up he carried it over to the table and sat down and started to eat. Shadow just bounded over to Bik and sat down under the table at his feet. Bikoura looked over at his sister. "What do you mean by that hmm?"
 
She stood there watching him, her eyes following his every move from the backyard to the living room and then to the kitchen. She didn't want to take her eyes off of him for the moment she did he would be somewhere else in the house. He never stayed still.

"I was cooking for you..." She said blushing. She always wanted to impress him, whether it be with cooking or an outfit she gathered at the store he was always on her mind. She twiddled her fingers as she watched him eat and then noticed his plate.
"Aww... and I cooked all this food for you and all you're going to eat is that?" She said turning the waffles in the iron. She looked from him to Shadow and smiled nodded her head and then tossed him a sausage.

"No one else is awake..." Her sentence was stopped by Wiggles reaching out of her robe and snatching a piece of bacon for himself. She peered at him and a smile eased across her face as she watched him eat it without hesitation. She sighed and then started over again.
"No one else besides Wiggles and I were until I heard you and Shadow. I was going to surprise you with breakfast but apparently Shadow smelled it before you did." She chuckled at her statement and then decided to make herself a plate since it was just the two of them downstairs at the moment then as she was sitting down she remembered what he asked her.
"I said you give the dog more attention than me... At least the dog sleeps comfortably under you at night. Who makes sure I am warm?" She looked at him and pouted.
 
Bik nodded and got over to his chair and sat down at it. He looked at the waffles and smiled. "mmmm, Smells good." He took the syrup and poured it over the waffles and began to eat it. He smiled then went back to eating the waffles his sister had made for the two of them. He watched as Shadow moved under the table and sat by his master's feet. "Sure, So then Sis what do you have planned today?" He quickly finished the breakfast. and got away from the table and took his plate and washed it off in the sink. "well best get dressed for the day, what ya say shadow?" Shadow just barked and got up following Bikoura. Bik looked at his sister and just shook his head. "Well when you either get a pet or if you find someone then You'll have something to keep you warm." He smiled and hugged Shadow before heading out to his own room and starting to get dressed for the day.
 
She whimpered and then sighed. As she was walking away she mumbled under her breath "It's not fair... I do have someone to keep me warm, he just doesn't see it." She said teary eyed. That sentence hurt her with intensity as he conveniently went about his business. She loved her brother in ways that a sisters was forbidden and her brother was the only one who didn't seemingly understand this logic. In her mind it was perfectly normal to make breakfast and cater to his every need, want, and command.

She pawed at her plate obviously not hungry anymore and decided that she was going to go back to bed. "I don't have anything planned... not anymore." she huffed at him. Taking Wiggles in her arms once again she nuzzled his nose and said "Come along Wiggles... let us keep each other warm." She glanced back at him with an empty expression and then headed toward the bedroom. Wiggles seemingly understanding what his second owner said squeaked happily in her arms and fidgeted carefully not wanting to be dropped along the floor and having to run behind her.
 
Bikoura walked into his room to get dressed for the day pulling on his favorite black and white tee-shirt and blue cargo pants. He watched Shadow jump onto the bed and walk in circles on it before sitting down. He sighed. "Don't give me that look Shadow, You know I care about her but I can never let it get out. If anyone in the family were to find out I'd be in big trouble. and if dad found out. He'd kill me." Shadow just watched his master before yawning. Bikoura finished getting dressed and just thought about his sister Carla for abit before wondering when dad was getting home. His father was a very important businessman who was often out an about because of his job and not often around the family and because of that he always had Jaster look over the family when their father couldn't be in for any important family dealing. Bikoura though had overheard that his father owed the company somethings but he wasn't sure. what did he owe? He knew his father made well enough to support the family.
 
Carla headed back to her room devastated. She took it very personal that her brother seemed oblivious to the fact that she cared deeply for him. He was always there for her, he always comforted her when she needed it. They did everything together, from watch TV to staying up late at night telling scary stories to each other so it was obvious that she loved him. She could not say the same thing for him though.
"Not Fair! Not Fair!" She screamed into the pillow as tears started to build in her eyes. More and more she thought about them, the more she thought the more pain it brought her. Cassie, her best friend from school told her to just get over it and move on. But for someone so frail and delicate and innocent as Carla this in itself was a difficult task to complete and she couldn't even muster up the courage to tell him how she felt.
You can never be! You want to send him to hell? The words rang in her head like church bells. Her seemingly best friend Cassie told her when they were alone. But these feelings Carla could not hide, she could not control. She indeed hated herself for what she could not change.
"Brother... I want you to love only me... care for only me now." She said aloud to the wind.
 
Shadow wandered out of Bikoura's room and just started to wander through the house before walking up to Adrianna's room and gently pushing the door open. He watched her as he walked up to the bed and gently sat down setting his head down on Adrianna's bed and watching her he sniffed at her feet before gently licking at her feet then at her legs, his tail just happily swinging from side to side. Bikoura didn't notice shadow walking out but looked up to the window and noticed that it was Jaster pulling up to the driveway. Bikoura walked out and opened the door for him when Jaster walked up to the door. he spoke to Bikoura before telling him to go and get the rest of the family.
 
Adrianna chuckled and was awoken out of her sleep by a form hated by many and loved by few tickling. She was about to catch an attitude thinking that it was Carla but then when she saw the tail she quickly knew who it was. The dog lapped at her legs and then went in between them. She jumped up and hugged him silently.
"Not now boy..." She said petting him ever so softly. Shadow was indeed her favorite pet before she got Wiggles, but Shadow was the house keeper and favored her brother over the other members of the family. Adrianna couldn't place why the dog was so picky but on many late nights it was her that he indeed favored. She arose slowly at first taking in the sun and then looking out her window. She saw a car pull up and knew that the real master of the house was home, if only for a short time. She walked to her drawer and rustled through the top and then the bottom and then the middle and finally found one of her long t-shirts that had an anime girl on it. It was her favorite. Besides the one with the all different types of blades on it. She slipped it on made sure it fit and then started walking down the stairs with Shadow quickly following behind her.
 
Jaster spoke with bikoura before looking to the stairs as Adrianna walked down. He nodded. "Adrianna, go and wake your mother and sister because this will have to do with all of the family. He looked at Bikoura before going to the living room and sitting down on the rocking chair as Bikoura walked over to the couch and sat down on it. Bikoura ahd already been told and was wondering how this would all play out. He had to take ownership of the family as master or else the family would be split and sold off to pay for their fathers debt. When the girls came down Jaster had them all sit together beside bikoura before telling them the same thing he told Bik. He also told them that he would be checking in from time to time to see how they were doing and that this was the only way to keep the family together and pay off the debts that their father had acquired.
 
She nodded in compliance and headed upstairs to gather the rest of the family. As soon as she was done she, her mother and the oldest sister came trotting down the stairs one after the other in an orderly fashion and all lined up ironically from smallest to tallest. They all seemed to have a puzzling look on their face and none too soon as the father seem to show a defeated expression on his. The mother looked the most confused seeing as though she rarely got to see the love of her life and it seemed as though this would not be a happy occasion where she could just prepare dinner and all the problems went away. They all said in unison,
"What's the Matter?"
 
Jaster looked at Bikoura before telling them all that was going on. That they would either be sold off or that Bikoura would take charge and work to pay off their fathers debts that he had acquired through the company. That an "Investor" would check in from time to time. That it was the only way to keep the family together or else they would all be split up. Bikoura didn't say much as the news had already been passed to him. He was more wondering on how his family would take the news and what they would decide upon doing. Shadow looked at the girls then to Bikoura before sitting down in front of his feet and curling up watching the family and what choices it would make. Would they refuse and end up getting split up or would they accept and submit under Bikoura but at least be all together.
 
The youngest sister broke down and seeing her sister in tears soon the older sister was in shambles. The Mother, torn by what she just heard hauled off and slapped the father.
"You bastard!" She mustered the last little bit of strength she had to do that and then all that was left were tears.
"Why!" was all the sisters could seem to say and then the look on their faces said what they felt.
"I don't wanna leave big brother." Carla said finally. The bigger sister nodded in compliance.
The mother realizing that she had to make a choice on the Family's future, gathered the girls and they huddled in a nearby corner just long enough to make a decision on their fate. When they were done the younger sister spoke for them all since the others were too distraught to talk.
"Brother... we want you to be our owner." She said with her head down.
 
Bikoura looked at them as Jaster and their father left before sighing and sitting back. He looked at Carla then over to Adrianna and over at their mother as he just sat in the chair. He then looked up at them. "Look just give me some time to think about this and why dont you all just go and get dressed for the day okay?" He slowly got up and looked at shadow before going outside with him to think and try and clear his head about all that had gone on. One side of his mind was trying to get reason for what was going on while the other side of his mind was now saying he pretty much had a harem of very attractive girls who were now to do anything he said. what could go wrong? He just looked at Shadow and opened the door to let him go back inside while Bikoura thought about what he was going to do.
 
The biggest sister came to his side and spoke what little peace she had left. She was always a smart-mouth so she had quite a few to say.
"So... was this planned?" She spit the words at him. She crossed her arms waiting for an answer. "What is it that you're thinking? I know you all too well... something in your little head is happy that sister made that choice. The ONLY reason mother and I went along with it was because of her. If you hurt her I swear I will---" She stopped and her face turned pink. She knew what she was about to do, something she hadn't done in so long.
"I will NOT be your puppet! I have my own free will and I will not be tied by the likes of YOU... so don't try to control me brother. Don't... Don't try to..." She sniffled and then cleared her throat. "Listen to me... that girl loves you... more than a sister could ever love her brother. Do with us as you see fit... but please... don't..." She stopped again and frowned. The thought of her brother in command over not only her whereabouts but also her body was something she couldn't take, at least not outright. She was a natural rebeller. What someone said she did the opposite no questions asked. She punched the couch and walked away mumbling under her breath.
