My Highlander's Inheritance

Chapter Two

"You know she's right Little Sis," Menmen comments, "there are going to be changes around here." She nods to the door that lead to Macy's room. "Big changes, weather they're wanted or not."

"Starting with a certain someone," Kimiko joins in with smile, and begins to ring her hands together in glee, "Prissy Miss Macy." Kimiko walks over to her door smiling over her shoulder at Menmen. "I wonder, my dear sister, whatever shall we do to properly educate her on how to have a much nicer attitude. One that will allow her to survive under the new rein of the McClain Household." Menmen returns her smile.

"There is a very high possibility of that event taking place very, very soon." Menmen opens her door. "Goodnight Kimi-Cub."

"Goodnight, Red Headed Devil Lass."

"Menmen are you asleep yet?" Kimiko asks in whispered tones as she creeps into Menmen's room and gently sits down on her bed. Sighing Menmen props herself up against the headboard.

"Nope."

"Me neither," Kimiko chuckles as she looks around at the decor of Menmen's room, which is set up just like hers across the hall. "This place turned out better than I thought it would. The way Gran Annie talked they were all blue-blooded snobs without hearts."

"True. They are all pretty much funny and good people. Well, all but that Macy Bitch," Menmen says with a slight snarl around Macy's name, and Kimiko finds herself snarling as well at the encounter with their new-found cousin. "We are going to have to do something about her."

"I know. Something that can put her in her place and make her regret ever taking on the us and mom." Kimiko smiles as the evil plots begin to form.

Menmen chuckles when she begins to think about all the plans she was sure Kimiko is plotting.

"Putting that aside for now, I can't believe that idiot Crazy Man doesn't know we're..."

"I know right!" Kimiko laughs as she falls back onto the bed. "I can't believe he doesn't sense it!"

"You would think Mary would have warned them about us, after all we have McClain blood running through our veins. I mean, seriously, it's a given that we take after Gran Annie." Menmen says as she joins in Kimiko's laughter.

"I know! It's so funny that the rest have already picked up on it, except Crazy Man and the one who was watching from the shadows." Kimiko leans up on her elbows and turns Menmen. "It's sad really, that they're so strong and yet so blind, in more ways than one." Menmen laughs as Kimiko winks at her.

"They sure are." Smiling she looked at Kimiko wickedly. "We should so screw with them majorly."

"Totally!" Kimiko agrees with the same wicked smile as Menmen. "Sooo dear genius sister of mine what shall we ever do with ourselves tomorrow, after mom heads to town that is."

"O'Shamus, that's not the way to yer room," Mary says sternly as she meets him while walking back down the stairs to her room. O'Shamus stops and quickly hides his hands behind his back. He gives her a sheepish look that automatically tells her he's up to no good. "My word O'Seamus, is that honey and whipped cream in your hands?" O'Seamus' face turns as red as his hair.

"Nay Lass, tis only honey and shaving cream," He scoffs loudly causing him to wince as look up the stairs to make sure he didn't waken anyone.

"Hmmm plan on making her an honest woman after words young man?" Mary grins wickedly as she nods up the stairs to where Menmen's room are.

"Nay! I not be up to that." He winces again when his voice echoes though out the castle. "Nay not that Mary. I just want to play a wee prank on the Devil Lass to get revenge for her smacking me in the head with that damnable pipe." Mary raises an eyebrow at his admission.

"Ye?" she snorts with laughter. "Ye, play a prank on a wee lass?" Mary tries very hard to contain her fit of laughter. "Yeah, right Howl O'Seamus." She quickly loses her battle when his face darkens.

"Don't call me that. O'Seamus is more than fine," He mutters as Mary tries to compose herself again.

"Well, Howl, good luck with pulling one on Menmen. She be a prank master. Believe me Lad ye'll need it." O'Seamus gives her an odd look as she continues down the stairs to where her room is.

He shakes his head and sighs in relief when no doors open to see what the ruckus is about. As he comes to the top of the stairs he double checks to make sure no one is in the hallway before quietly opening the old oak door to Menmen's room.

O'Seamus sends up a quick prayer of thanks that the hinges didn't squeak. He slowly shuts the door behind him. He sneaks a few steps forward, his hand pulling the bottle of shaving cream from his back pants pocket.

He usually isn't one for petty pranks, but it is the only way he can come up with to get back at the lass for what she did. He smiles as he quickly takes a few more steps.

Shaving cream in her hands and honey all in her hair should make her regret ever pulling one over one him. O'Seamus freezes when something flies past his face and make a small thud as it imbeds itself in the wall behind him. He blinks as he realizes that there is a small trail of blood sliding down his face.

The Crazy Lass had thrown a knife at him.

At the mumble threats coming from a shadow figure sitting up in the bed, O'Seamus quickly backtracks, and goes back out the door. He gently closes the door behind him. Taking a few steps back, making sure he faces the door the whole time.

O'Seamus lingers only long enough to make sure a mad woman isn't going to throw open the door to attack him with a pipe of vengeances or a sharp knife. He quickly high tails it down the stairs to the third floor to his room. He locks the door behind him just to be sure. He runs a hand over his check, hissing as he wipes at the small cut there.

"Damn that Devil Lass."
