Hunter hesitated for only a moment. There no question that this woman was pushing her to her limits, but she wasn't sure that she wanted to tear her apart in front of Yori. Her eyes quickly glanced down the table for a moment, weighing out her options on what she could come back with, when Mika dropped 'unnatural' the second time, she was beyond controlling herself. If she had bit her tongue any harder, she was sure there would be blood.

"That's it!" she roared, slamming both of her hands down open palm on the table. "Y'all can see whatever ya want 'bout me, 'cos I guess I am uncivilized.. and if ya must know, my parents a couple of miserable fuc-- people just like y'all, so don't you worry about what they think. I bet you'd even like 'em, you're the same kinda shitters," she informed them boldly, sitting straight up in her seat to take advantage of her full height.

"So, like I was sayin'.. you say whatever y'all want about that, but don't you sit here and tell me you want your daughter wit' that piece of fuckin' trash. Only thing he's good for is dog food, and I wouldn't even feed 'em to my dog."

Mika and Akio were positively seething as the blonde bit into them. They listened, eyes narrowed as Hunter went off. Mika turned her attention to Michiko, who was sitting by Hunter's side, her eyes a little wide. "Quite frankly Michiko, I can see why you think the two of you work together," she snapped.

Michiko looked from Hunter to Mika and then sighed. "You know what ma? Yeah. We do work and there's nothin' you can do about it. She gets me, I get her and we're happy," she said finally.

"What the hell kind of example are you setting for your little brother?" Akio asked evenly.

"Better than the one you two heartless assholes have set!" she accused him. Turning to Yori she took his hands in hers. "Don't turn out like them kid," she said, pressing a kiss to his forehead.

She stood up and looked at Mika and Akio one last time. "Hunter is my girlfriend and if you can't treat her with respect for one meal, then I won't treat you with respect period," she said sternly.

"Wanna get out of here Hunt?" she asked the blonde, her voice shaking.

It took an extremely large portion of Hunter's self control not to go off again, or just keep going. She let Michi take over and do some of the talking, just sitting tall and glaring seriously and menacingly across the table at her parents. What was it with the three of them? Between her, Michi, and Mack, she was pretty sure there wasn't a nice parent on the bunch.

Maybe they had all been left on doorsteps or something, like tall Cinderellas.

"I'd love to go, 'fore I spit in this fool's face," Hunter agreed, standing up and staring at Akio in particular. He had even less room to talk then Mika, yet he kept his occasional comments grating on Hunter's nerves.

"You? Ain't her father, so you jus' better keep your shit to yourself. She's a better example than y'all could ever be, hateful buncha fucks," she added as Michi kissed Yori's forehead. Reaching over, she scruffed the kid's head, grinning at him weakly. "Let's bounce, babe." she suggested finally, turning her little grin on Michi instead.

Michi couldn't feel better about her decision to get the fuck out of dodge before Yori had to see something worse. She nodded, smiling slightly at Hunter before taking her hand. "Oh! Are those dill pickle chips?" she asked suddenly, noticing the bag of chips on Hunter's tray. "Can we bring those, I've got a hankerin' for something salty."

"Oh yeah!" Hunter said, having forgotten almost entirely about her lunch tray. She had actually been pretty excited for it when she has originally picked it up. "Sure babe," she added, squeezing Michi's hand, she grabbed the chips and gave them to her before taking the half of a sub for herself.

"Peace bitches," she chimed happily, shoving the sandwich into her mouth and taking a messy bite in front of them before she and Michi actually walked off.

"Thanks," Michi said leaning her head against Hunter's shoulder as they walked away. She sighed deeply as soon as they were out of sight of the table. "I'm sorry about them. She's such a bitch and he's a completely douche nozzle. I don't know what they're effin problem is," she shook her head.

"At least we gave it right back to them," she grinned up at the older girl.

"Don't you worry 'bout them," Hunter replied lazily, her arm almost instinctively finding it's way to wrap around Michi's shoulders, pulling her closer. "I'll give it back to 'em everytime I see 'em until they learn how to treat people right," she added.

Leaning down a bit, she kissed Michi's temple. "Dunno how a kid like you came outta that ol' whore anyway.."

She frowned. "They treated Pas like he was a fucking prince but the second I start dating a girl... it's like the fucking Inquisition is back in town," she rolled her eyes.

She laughed a bit and closed her eyes. "Don't know how either of us got to be so awesome with the lot we drew. Gotta buncha real winners for parents."

"I'm tellin' ya babe, I've been tellin' Mack for years that we musta been basket babies.. y'know, like left on the door step or something? Shit like that still happened in the nineties," she replied, shaking her head with a weak smile. It was always easier to explain it away with silly possibilities than admit that they all genuinely just had bad parents.

"Or switched at the hospital, I've considered that too! Y'know I looked it up, they say like on average or whatever, twelve newborn kids go home from the hospital with the wrong folks daily.. like, think 'bout that!"

"I wouldn't doubt it babe," she said as they mosied away from the larger crowd. "I mean, I know I was a mistake but it's not like she has to rub it in every second of every day ever," she pressed her eyes shut. "I would never do that to a kid man."

"Still... twelve kids every day? I'd say chances are we were some of them," she joked lightly.

"Me either. It ain't the kids fault that their parents got issues.. ain't no reason to make 'em miserable," Hunter muttered back, sounding surprisingly wise for someone so bitter. She gave Michi a little squeeze with the arm she had around her.

"Twelve kids a day on average, I mean.. I guess that could be eleven kids one day, and then thirteen the next day, but it's still a huge chunk! I say we get tested, maybe we're lucky. I bet the government gotta pay a whole lotta cash money for a fuck up like that, too."

"Right?" she asked, it had been a genuine question of hers for years and she just had to wonder what she had done as a kid to deserve the shit she went through. In the end the only offense she ever managed to wrangle up was that she had been born. Sighing deeply, she opened her eyes.

"Yeah we should," she snorted. It'd be a miracle if she ended not actually being Mika Miyaki's child. She had seen similarities in herself and her mother and it had been enough to drive her up a wall. She hated the things about her that were like her mother, she hated being compared to the woman and she hated being related to her. From what she knew of her father... well, she couldn't stand the thought of being as cruel to him so she pushed their one visit to the back of her mind. "We could totally just... escape and be done with them. Get the fuck outta here," she said lightly.

"Like run away elope? Are you proposin' to me already?" Hunter joked back, giving the younger girl's side a little nudge. Sometimes she had considered quitting school, studying wasn't really her thing and university was optional, but the social life and life away from home always brought her back. So much as she loved her home state, her parents made her hate being in Texas most of the time.

"We'll have to build a little room for Mack in our loveshack, I guess. Less we can get someone else to adopt her. Maybe she can go stay with her favorite ginger hooker," the blonde went on, laughing and shaking her head. "Her and that kid.. jeez, I don't get it."
