Don't ask me why I wrote this, because I have no clue. I know gangs would never be like this. It was one of those that just pop into your head, ya write down, and then decides to post it. Fellow authors, please don't critics for such a weird idea for a fanfic. Thank you.

Flashback

It had been one month since naru had left, leaving Mai behind, heartbroken. She had taken a liking to tattoo's while he was gone, and to smoking cigarettes. She never showed to the meeting of the ex S.P.R members, and probably never would. She no longer had friends; she lost them from working too much. For some reason though, this had attracted the local gang, the silver tails.

They were called this because they lined the backside on the inside of their uniform skirts with white fur. She knew she had their attention because one or two had been following her recently. She never said anything, and they never talked to her.

She had started to believe she was being paranoid until one day. She'd ditched school (her first time) when she heard someone say "yo."

Whipping around, she saw a girl that was obviously a silver tail. She had bleached white hair, and several piercing on her ears. She stood around Masako's height, and he air demanded attention.

"What're you doing out of school, kid?" white haired girl asked, leaning on the wall next to Mai.

"I was bored" she replied simply, taking a small draw of her cigarette.

The girl gave a long laugh, and said "nice to see we agree on somethin, I'm Suzuki" she brought a hand out, and Mai shook it.

"I'm Mai" she told the Suzuki, then asked "aren't you a silver tail?"

The girl nodded, looked Mai over, and said "you seem like silver tail material. Some of the newbies told me about ya."

"Thanks…. I think" Mai mumbled, unsure of what to say.

"How bout ya join us?" Suzuki asked, and then said "we look out for our own, so you wouldn't have to worry about gettin beat up."

Mai gave a small nod, unsure of herself. Suzuki grabbed her arm, not hard enough to make her feel threatened and said "come on! I'll show you our compound!"

2 years later/ Mai's P.O.V

"Mairu!" is yelled into my ear, effectively waking me up from a peaceful sleep I had been enjoying. I grunted and sat up, to see Miharu in my bed. Miharu is a year under me; she's got bleached hair (gang trademark) and green eyes. She doesn't consider her home home (abusive family) so she hangs at my place a lot, and sleeps over with me in my bed as well.

I don't mind, I'd let her live here if I had the money to feed her.

"Morning Mairu (gang name)" Miharu says, and then asks "did you sleep okay?"

"I slept fine" I replied, getting out a cigarette. I almost lit it then remembered about second hand smoke and stashed them away.

"How's your back? Need any more alcohol?" I ask, I'm a tattoo artist (I do prison style because I'm only 16, so I have a lot of tattoo's on my body) Miharu had just gotten her first tattoo last week (a panther head) and I didn't want it to get infected.

"Its okay" she told me "you don't have to worry about smoking around me ya know? My dad does it all the time."

I shrug and lit a cigarette.

"The daily question" I say after taking a long draw "do I go to school? Or do I skip?"

"You're going to fail if you don't" Miharu added "do you want to wait another year before becoming an adult in the silver tails quadrant?"

It was one of the silver tail's rules. You graduate high school, and then decide if you want to stay a part of the gang as well as whether or not you're going to college. We all need a basic education.

I managed to scrape by last year, but I doubt I could pass if I skipped anymore. I sighed, and then got on my uniform. I walked to school through alleyways, knowing better than to show my silver fur lined skirt in a public area. I reached school and quickly sat in the back of the room.

I fiddled with one of my earrings (I put them in myself) and wondered if I should get a nose ring. I have plenty in my ears (none match, I only have the money to buy one at a time) and even one (at the pressuring of Suzuki) in my navel.

During class, I wrote note down, but internally I was bored.

Halfway through class, the intercom came on and the principal bellowed "Mai Taniyama to the principal's office!"

I stood up and walked out of the room, wondered why I was called. I tried to remember what I did that I was caught for, and then I realized it might be about my smoking.

I reached the office, and listened at the door "I'm not sure that's a good idea, hiring her, sir" the principal was telling someone "Mrs. Taniyama has gotten into many illegal activities and it would hurt your business to have her around."

I slowly opened the door and walked in.

Ayako's P.O.V

Naru finally got his butt back her from Europe, and now he's restarted S.P.R. he called all of us, except Mai, and asked if we would like to rejoin. We all agreed, but Mai's phone was turned off, so we went to her school, Which I why we were now sitting in the principal's office waiting for her to arrive.

"oh, Mrs. Taniyama' the principal lady says, with obvious distaste "how nice of you to join us."

In walks in this girl that couldn't possibly be Mai. She had bleached white hair with a lot of ear piercings, and tattooed arms, and a bad temperament.

"No doubt you are shocked" the principal lady says, much to over dramatically in my tastes "that this is what became of the Mai you have been speaking so highly of, but alas, this is what happens when you waste your own potential."

This made me look at the girl again. Now that I actually looked at her, she had Mai's brown eyes and Mai's figure. She even had Mai's irritated frown I remember so well, this was actually Mai.

Mai crosses her arms, glares at the lady, and finally says "what makes you think I'm wasted potential? You're the one who's supposed to 'unlock' this great potential I'm supposed to have. So technically, my failure of a life as you call it is your fault."

I gave a small gasp. Mai never spoke back like that when I knew her, and even though it's not nice to say the stuff she just said, it was kinda funny.

But I still couldn't help but wonder, why did she bleach her hair? Why does she look so indifferent to everything? Why are her arms (and neck from what I could see) covered in tattoo's at her age?

The principal sniffed and left the room, letting us speak to her alone. "Mai" john started "what happened to your arms?"

She just shrugged and asked "what are you all doing here?"

"I'm reopening S.P.R" naru stated, looking unfazed by Mai's new look "I thought you may want to be my assistant again."

Mai replied with "fine, I need the money for food and stuff anyway."

Mai's P.O.V

I don't want the job back, but I could use the money so Miharu could stay at my place. One of the most stressed rules of the silver tails is 'protect your own' after all. I skipped the rest of the school day, just walked out the door and yanked a cigarette out on the way.

I went to Suzuki's place; she never goes to school anymore. Her apartment is in the downtown slums, to visit were told to carry either a gun and knife with us at all times, even thought we can defend ourselves.

No one messes with us, except the red claws. There a mostly all boys group (females are there for their pleasure from what I've heard, enough said.) we fight because their leader, Kowari, wants us to surrender to his and his friends wants (no need to go too deeply on what those are) and we won't. They threatened to force us; we threatened to beat em up, normal gang arguments.

There's more than just the 'no way' reason than that. You see, there's a curse on the silver tails, one they've been living with for 20 years. 20 years ago, we managed to get some guy angry (were not sure how or exactly when) and he put a curse on us. He made it so we can't get pregnant until were 18 (some of them want this, not me though) or we die. They cough up blood for a few weeks, turn deathly ill, and then die. The children are always still born.

Anywhom, the arguments are starting fights, meaning that gang war could start up. Just last week a small fight broke out with a couple of us and the red claws. So Suzuki's always at home to plan just in case.

"Hey Suzuki" I yell as I walk in "it's Mairu!"

I sit cross-legged in the living room across from Suzuki.

"Did you get attacked on the way here?" Suzuki asked

"Of course not" I reply "they never do. I got a job today." I blew some smoke out of my mouth.

"A job, huh" Suzuki says with a puzzled look "why?"

"I need the money for Miharu" I reply "so that way she can live with me."

Suzuki nods, and then says "if there's a gang war I'll need you full time."

"I don't mind losing my job again" I reply "it's one of those ghosts fighting businesses. Not much to lose except the cash" major lie and I knew it.

Suzuki looks at me for a moment then says "do you think you could ask them about the curse?"

I shake my head "they'll want to know why I know gang people. Then I'd lose my job. You will have to ask on your own."

Suzuki nodded and said "I may just do that."

I stub out my cigarette, lie down, and fall into a deep sleep right there on the floor.

Again, this is just another one of those weird ideas I get everyone in a while. If you like, thanks! If not, I know this isn't really realistic but I don't mind. It's for fun. R and R! JA NE!
