Galia wandered along the market beside Dray. She looked up at him hopelessly. Why is it always so darn easy to get lost in these places? I'm glad it's only Shanaii! She sighed, and then bought some loaves of bread, then they started going home.

Dray smiled and chuckled slightly then looked ahead. "Hey is that....?" "DRAY!!!! GALIA!!!!!" Akili ran up and hugged Galia. "Oh my gosh, its been so long!"

"AKILI!" Galia exclaimed, hugging her old friend close. "How's it been going!? Zeki brought Aulii home for supper the other night, you know!" She exclaimed, then looked up at Dray. You dead? She poked him in the chest.

Akili smiled and looked back at Kalor who was walking aimlessly slow up to them. "We havent seen you guys sense we had Zeki!" She smiled. "Havent we Kalor?"
Dray grinned. "Hey Akili, hey Kalor." Suddenly he saw two teenagers behind them. "Hey isn't that Zeki Galia?"

"Yeah. HEY! ZEKI!" Galia called, watching him and the girl beside him hesitate.
"Um..." Zeki paused, looking over at her. "Do we go over there? Or make a break for it?" He knew how his parents would react, but Kalor was huge compared to somewhat scrawny Zeki.

Aulii saw her dad turn. "WE RUN FOR IT!!!!" She grabbed Zeki's hand and took off. "RUNNNNNNN!!!!!!"
Dray looked at Kalor, then darted off after them, Akili behind him, and Galia following. "GET BACK HERE ZEKI!!!"

Kalor shot after them. "GET BACK HERE!" He yelled, running at top speed after them. His long legs carried him swiftly alongside Dray, they were gaining on them.
"RUNNNNNNNNNN FOR IT!" Zeki yelled, letting go of Aulii so she could run faster, and they both took off at full speed, trying to outdistance their parents.

Aulii turned a corner and grabbed Zeki when they were out of sight then pulled him into an alley. "Shh" She pushed him down behind some piles on junk, then hide herself, but soon she heard heavy footsteps comming toward them.

Zeki gasped for air beside Aulii. "I hope that isn't your dad!" He whispered quietly, pressing himself down behind the junk further so that his reddish hair wouldn't give them away. The footsteps went past, and he let out his breath softly, then caught it again when the steps came back.
Kalor darted into the alley, towards the hiding couple. He slowed to a walk, looking around. Damn kids... He muttered, then found them. He caught Zeki by the collar of his shirt.
"Hey!" Zeki started kicking, trying to make Kalor let go of him. He grunted, then looked up at the tall man just behind him, holding the back of the collar of his shirt, and quailed.

Aulii stood up. "Daddy! Put my friend down!" Her voice was slightly edgy.

Zeki finally got away, and watched Kalor warily. "Well you didn't have to grab me!" He snapped, turning his head to watch every time Kalor moved.
Kalor looked at Aulii sharply. "What are you doing, hanging out with a runt like him?" He shot a dark glance in Zeki's direction, and the boy seemed to shrink under his glare.

Aulii crossed her arms. "He isn't a runt!" She watched as her mother ran in.
"Aulii! What are you doing!" Akili shook her head and panted slightly, she hadent ran, or been in any fights sense she had given birth to Aulii, that was all left to Kalor.
Dray ran in and up to his son and put him in a headlock. "Don't you ever run from me again!" He slapped him over the head and let him go. Then watched as Galia came in.

"Ow! Dad!" Zeki rubbed his head, then shook it. It still hurt, then he stared apprehensively at all the adults around him. He looked over at Aulii. 'We're dead meat' He mouthed to her, then looked up at Kalor, then to Dray, and back again.
Galia darted in, and stood beside Dray. She paused for a moment, not exactly sure what to say, then came up with something. "What were you doing?" She demanded sharply.
Zeki stared at his mother. "We were hanging out together..."

Akili shook her head. "Do you always hold hands while your hanging out?"
Aulii backed away and hid behind Zeki.

"Sometimes." Zeki admitted, then tried to make himself look a little bigger to protect Aulii, but it was hard with four adults staring at him.
Kalor glared at him. "Why were you 'hanging out' with my daughter?"
"Because we're friends!"

Dray crossed his arms. "Friends do not hold hands. Tell us, NOW."
Aulii gulped.

"Um..." Zeki hesitated, then eyed Kalor and Dray in front of him, and the quiet two mothers to either side.
"Um what?" Kalor snapped.

Aulii tugged on Zeki's shirt to make sure he was watching. "RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She took off and jumped, grabbed the top of the tall tall fence and pulled herself over it. "HURRY UP ZEKI!!!!" She started running again.

Zeki wasted no time. He shot over to the fence, scrambled up it, and darted over the other side, then took off running into the forest.
Kalor dashed after them, got over the fence, and ran the direction they had gone.

Dray also took off and jumped the fence as well, Galia and Akili, who hadent done anything like this for sixteen years would have to stay behind or go around. "ZEKI!!!!!!!"
Aulii was running infront of Zeki when they came to a bridge and she pulled him under it. They sat, unvisable from the direction there fathers were comming from, and stared at each other. She was pressed up against him, scared for her life. Before there parents came she smiled then kissed him on the lips. She head them comming and broke away. "I love you." She whispered then heard footsteps going across the bridge then stopping in the middle of it, then another pair, and stopping where the others had.

Zeki held his breath, not daring to look up to see who was on the bridge in case he was discovered. Both of them sat stock still.
Kalor stopped. He walked to the other side, and found no tracks in the mud. "They're around here somewhere..." He growled, and looked at the mud on either side of the bridge. He found their tracks.
Zeki grabbed Aulii's arm. "RUN!" He pushed her out in front of him, and shot away upriver again, both fathers chasing close behind.

Dray was a fast runner, and pulled ahead, then caught Zeki by the arm andthey both fell. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOIN'!?!?!?!" He stood up and had Zeki in a headlock once more, smacking the back of his head numorus times before letting him go.
Aulii ran back and caught Zeki as he staggered away from Dray. Then Kalor came.

"OW!" Zeki rubbed the back of his head again. "Dad!" He muttered, then dashed away madly when Kalor came. He really didn't want to be pounded to nothing after Kalor and Dray caught him again. He managed to smile at Aulii before fleeing for his life again. He scrambled up a thick tree, and hoped they didn't see him.
"Damn runt!" Kalor hissed, glared at his daughter, and shot past after Zeki, Dray close behind again.

Aulii chased after the others. "DADDY STOP!!!!!!" She screamed at him when he caught Zeki in the tree.
Dray dragged his boy out of the tree and made him stand. "You must really like getting smacked little man!" This time he punched him hard in the arm. He let him go but he was trapped between him and Kalor, and would not be able to get away this time.

"I'd like to keep my head, thanks!" Zeki winced, shutting one eye. Well, he was stuck now, no help for it.
"Why were you holding hands with my daughter!?"

Aulii ran and grabbed Zeki's hand once more. "Because we love each other dad!" She turned Zeki and kissed him passionatly.
Dray blinked and watched his son kiss this girl.

Zeki kissed her back, closing his eyes. He knew that Kalor wouldn't hurt Aulii, and neither would Dray, he was the only one in danger here, so he positioned himself with his back to the tree, where he couldn't be hit without Aulii being hit as well. He smiled, and when they had to break for air, resisted the urge to backtalk his father.
Kalor's eye twitched, but he would not hit Aulii, so Zeki was safe for the moment. He looked over at Dray.

Aulii turned and stared her father down. "Do you have anything to say now Father?" Her hand was still locked in Zeki's.
Dray looked back at Kalor and shrugged then turned and left the two with Kalor.

Kalor sighed, and shook his head. "Nope." He turned, and walked away.
"Wow. They didn't kill me...you saved my life!" Zeki smiled, and hugged her close.

Aulii turned back and hugged Zeki close. "He isn't such a bad guy." She laid her head on his chest and smiled.
