The Guinea Pigs
It was now a month since the video was released, and things have gone back to being relatively calm.
Jinx: Damnit!
Akali: You know you can dodge, right?
Kai'sa: Where are my shoes?!
Eve: On your feet.
Ahri: <Totoro~ Totoro~ Small and fluffly~>
Totoro: <Meow>
You sighed as you worked at your new desk that was now tucked under the stairs. It was your little sanctuary away from everyone else.
As you may have guessed, Kai'sa was wondering around the living room looking for her shoes, Jinx was playing a game while Eve watched and Akali provided commentary, and Ahri was playing with Totoro.
You were working in your laptop at your desk. You were setting up an interview with a local talk show that spotlights new talent. Ahri and Eve didn't really fall into this category, but Kai'sa and Akali did. That also meant KDA was new blood. Loop holes.
Everyone stopped what they were doing when the doorbell echoed through the house. You looked up from your laptop and looked at the door.
Y/N: Uh, anyone expecting visitors?
All: No.
Y/N: Okay, then.
You stood up and walked over to the door. You looked through the peephole, but no one was there. You opened the door and looked around but you couldn't find anything.
Y/N: Hello?
No answer.
You were about to close the door when you spotted something on the doorstep. It was a cardboard box with holes on top. You opened the door and picked it up. You were so tempted to shake it but judging by the holes, there was something alive in it.
Y/N: Hm.
You closed the door and walked back into the living room where everyone looked at you.
Y/N: Uh, we have a package?
Ahri: What is it?
Y/N: I don't, I don't know.
You set it down on the table and everyone gathered around. Ahri held Totoro in her arms as you slowly began to open the box. Once you did, you all stared in confusion.
Jinx: What....
Akali: The....
Eve: Hell....
Kai'sa: Is....
Ahri: This...
Y/N: Shit?
Inside the box, was four guinea pigs. That would be odd enough on its own. However, the oddness was taken a step further. You picked one up, and almost laughed. Each of them were dressed like one of the girls. The one you picked up was wearing round sunglasses, a purple coat, and had two tensils like Eve did in the music video.
Y/N: Heh.
Jinx: Ah! They're sooo cute!
There was a mini Kai'sa, Akali, and Ahri too. One by one, you pulled them out and set them on the table. They all looked around as Totoro looked at the confused.
Totoro: <Meow?>
Y/N: Seems like a fan sent them.
Ahri reached into the box and pulled out a letter. She opened it up and read it out loud.
Ahri: Dear KDA, I just wanted to say that I've been a fan of Ahri and Evelynn for a few years now. I hope you all enjoy mini KDA. On top of being cute, they know fun tricks.
Kai'sa: Tricks? What kind of tricks?
Ahri shrugged.
Ahri: Doesn't say. No name either.
She set Totoro down on the table and the guinea pigs looked at him. The cat then looked up at you.
Totoro: <Meow>
Y/N: I guess we are keeping them. We'll need to pick up some stuff of them, though.
Ahri: Are you going to swing by the pet shop?
Ever since you took in Totoro, you became a regular at the pet shop in the mall. Guess you had four more reasons to go now.
Y/N: I guess.
Kai'sa looked at the mini her who stared right back at her. Mini Eve started to walk toward the edge but Totoro was quick to pick her up and set her back on the table. Looks like he was going to be their manager.
Jinx: Where are we going to put them?
Everyone gave it some thought before Akali snapped her finger. She then disappeared into the garage and came back holding what appeared to be a large doll house.
Y/N: Uh...
Akali: It was here when we moved in. I've been meaning to paint it but I just got kinda lazy. They can live in here.
She set the house on the table and the guinea pigs looked at it for a moment. Mini Ahri was the first to step into it.
Mini Ahri: <Squeak>
She turned back to her fellow pigs.
Mini Ahri: <Squeak squeak>
The others entered the house and began to move around like they belonged there.
Y/N: Guess Ahri is the leader in every form.
Eve: Looks like it. Though, I do wonder what those tricks are that the note mentioned.
Jinx: Maybe they dance?
You all stared at the house for a moment. Akali then pulled out her phone and hit play on one of the songs she was listening to. As the music played, the pigs stopped what they were doing but they didn't do anything. Suddenly, Mini Kai'sa began to do a dance.
You all felt your hearts melt at the sight.
Ahri: I love them.
Akali: If anything happens to them, I will kill someone and then myself.
Y/N: Please don't.
Totoro watched Mini Kai'sa dance for a moment before he looked at you.
Totoro: <Meow>
Y/N: Maybe? I guess we could check that out.
The girls looked at you confused as you pulled out your phone.
Eve: I know we never questioned it, but can he actually understand him?
Jinx: I wouldn't doubt it.
You finally found Pop/Stars in your playlist and hit play. Once again, the guinea pigs stopped what they were doing and turned to you. When Akali's verse came on, Mini Akali began to squeak. You were all impressed.
Ahri: Do they recognize our voices?
Jinx: How the...never mind. Forget I asked. Why am I even still surpised anymore?
When Eve's verse came on, Mini Eve sang. So on and so forth. The only one who didn't squeak was Mini Kai'sa who was just dancing the entire time.
Y/N: This is, actually pretty impressive.
You stopped the song and the pigs went back to wondering around the doll house. You looked to Eve.
Y/N: You mind if I barrow one of your cars? I won't be able to carry everything on my bike.
Eve nodded.
Eve: I'll go with you. Let me get a disguise on.
She left to her room to change while you turned back to the guinea pigs and watched them. You never had a pet like this when you were a kid. The most you had was the stray dog that stopped around ever once in a blue moon.
---------
Eve: So this is where you get Totoro's food?
Y/N: Yep.
You and Eve entered the pet shop and Eve looked around with mild interest. You walked over to the counter where you found the girl who worked there. Over time, the two of you talked more and you even learned her name.
Y/N: Hey, Neeko.
Neeko turned around and saw you. She then smiled.
Neeko: Welcome back, Y/N. Buying more food for your fur baby?
Y/N: Not today. And please don't call him that. Ahri already thinks of him like a baby enough as it is.
Neeko laughed while Eve spotted a wall lined in costumed for animals. She was suddenly very interested.
Y/N: Do you have stuff for guinea pigs? Like feed and whatever else you need for guinea pigs?
Neeko: You have guinea pigs?
Y/N: Yep. They were a, uh, present.
Neeko laughed as she walked around the counter and lead you over to a section for smaller pets. While she got you what you needed, Eve browsed the many costumes.
Once you were ready to check out, Eve had acquired many different outfits for Totoro.
Eve: I think he'll look handsome in them.
Y/N: Handsome, in a taco costume?
Eve: Let me have my fun, Y/N.
Y/N: Whatever.
---------
You sat on the couch watching the girls play with the guinea pigs and Totoro. You let out a yawn and looked over at your desk.
Totoro: <Meow>
You looked at the cat who was dressed in a Sombrero and Pancho with a cartoonishly large mustache.
Y/N: I can't help you. If I do, I have to deal with Eve.
Eve: What was that?
Y/N: I said I'll have to deal with you.
Eve gave you a wicked eye before she picked up Totoro. The cat was less than pleased.
Y/N: I'm gonna go get dinner ready. We're having fish.
The girls all gave their two cents, not that you cared, and you turned to head to the kitchen. However, you stopped when you saw your reflection in the body mirror near the entrance. Standing there, was a younger you in your gear.
Ezreal: You really like staring at yourself, don't you?
You looked over to your friend who was smirking. You turned away from the broken mirror and flipped him off as you walked through the old house. Everyone was gathered at a table where Darius was going over the plan again to himself.
Graves: This seems like a standard mission. In and out, just like always.
Darius: This one is a bit more tricky. We have innocents in the building. If we shoot one...
Ezreal: War criminals.
Darius pointed at your partner.
Darius: That's why we have two locals to help us out. You may know them already as the officers who helped us contain the attacks back at Demacia.
Two officers walked in and you smiled a bit.
Y/N: Look what the cat dragged in.
Rakken: Aw, you guys love us.
Xayah: Sure they do, dear.
You shook their hands and welcomed them to the table.
Darius: We have our targets. Somewhere in this house is the location of the big monster himself. You have your objectives. Make your shots count.
You all nodded. Within the hour, you were all packed into the van and on your way to the town home where the Intel pointed.
Jinx: I hate silent missions. They're no fun.
Ezreal: I'm sorry, do you have fun with this?
Xayah: Renekton is the Butcher of the Sands. His army is attacking places where my people are helpless. This isn't a game.
Jinx just sunk down in her seat.
Jinx: Jeez. Just trying to find a silver lining.
Y/N: Everyone just calm down. Save that anger for the enemy.
The van came to a stop and you got to your feet before opening the back doors. You all stepped out and you readied your rifle. There were two teams. Yours which included Jinx, Xayah, Ezreal, and Garen. The other team was led by Darius which included Rakken, Graves, Rell, and Parthenon.
Your team was to infiltrate the building through the back and clear out the first floor before Darius' team heading in. After that, you would go floor by floor until you cleared the whole building.
Y/N: Remeber, innocents are in the building. Count your shots.
Everyone nodded as you headed through the back alley. You reached the gate where everyone stopped as you reached over and unlocked it. You silently pushed it open and you all headed to the backdoor.
Y/N: Knight 1-4, you got the window.
Garen nodded and stepped back to get a good view of the window. He reached behind his back and pulled out the portable ladder he had which he extended so he could enter through the window. You unlocked the door and the rest of you entered the house.
You all ascended the stairs and ended up in the kitchen area of the ground floor. You had your guns at the ready as Garen entered through the window. So far, so good.
Suddenly, you heard a voice.
Woman: Let me throw on some tea. You all must be tired.
Footsteps approached the door which caused everyone to freeze. You moved near the door and waited. Once it was open, you grabbed the woman. You forced her to the ground and cuffed her as Jinx and Garen watched the door. Xayah made her way over and grabbed the woman. She then place tape over her mouth.
Xayah: Innocent taken care of.
You nodded and got back to your feet. You lead them out of the room and through the hall where you found the front door. You unlocked it and pushed it open to find Darius and his team.
Darius: Good work. Let's get this started.
You nodded. You followed behind Darius with Xayah, Rakken, Jinx, and Graves behind you. The others would be in charge of making sure no one manged to get out. You headed up the stairs with your rifle aimed at the rail.
Floor two.
You all took a door and waited for the signal. Once you got it, you would push open your reactive door and rush in with your guns ready to fire. The second floor had nothing in your room. Jinx, on the other hand, took one down.
Floor three.
You found a wife and child in one room, and a man with a shotgun in the other. You managed to shoot the man's leg and restrain him.
Floor four.
The final floor before the attic. You waited by your door as everyone got situated. So far, so good. At least, you thought. Your door was suddenly blasted off its hinges when the man on the otherside fired off his rifle. You quickly rolled into the room and shot the man twice. One in the arm, the other in the head. As his body dropped, Darius and Ralken rushed in to make sure you were alright.
You simply gave a thumbs up.
Final floor. You and Darius left the others to take any retrained terrorist to the first floor. Besides, you only needed two people in a small space.
Darius: Last floor. Stay alert. We don't know what they got up there.
You nodded as he opened the final door. You both rushed in and aimed your guns at the only person there. A woman who was unarmed.
Y/N: An innocent.
Woman: Don't shoot! Please don't shoot!
Darius sighed as he looked around the room. You pulled out your cuffs but Darius noticed something. A trigger on the desk behind the woman. She took a step backwards, and he pieced it together.
Dairus: Drop her!
You stopped and instinctively grabbed your pistol from its holster. The woman quickly turned around and grabbed the trigger. She never activated it, though. Her body hit the floor and the trigger landed back on the desk. Smoke came from the barrel of your gun.
Dairus: She has a fucking trigger.
You holstered your gun and followed Darius to the table. Plans, bombs blueprints, and everything pointing to the Butcher of the Sands. Looks like you got what you came for.
Dairus: Good work. Let's get this intel back to HQ. See what we can find.
Y/N: Yes, sir!
Dairus smiled as he placed a hand on your shoulder.
Dairus: Good work, Villian.
Y/N: Thank you, sir.
Ahri: Y/N?
You looked to your left and found Ahri standing there, staring at you. You were now back in the KDA house.
Ahri: You alright?
You looked behind you and found everyone looking at you with worry. You just smiled.
Y/N: Of course. It's nothing.
You rubbed her ear and headed to the kitchen. Ahri watched you walk away but she wasn't convinced. Even though you were smiling and whistling, she knew something much deeper was eating you away.
