Author's Notes: Hm...This is actually my first fanfiction in about five years. Sorry if I suck. Anyways, I started this fic with my sister, but I think I'll be finishing it by myself. ;; What's with the lame title, you ask? I couldn't think of one. So my sister said to use the initials of Dead or Alive, to think of a title. So, I used Dream Of Another. I was considering naming it Dilemma of Ayane, but that's just as bad as the first. XD Hm, I just reread it. It's kinda boring, and I made Kasumi seem like a goody-goody. I'll fix that in later chapters. ;D
Ayane's heart beat faster. "He's…in my class?" She stared up at the face that could belong to no other than Hayabusa. She didn't know how long she stared. Hayabusa cleared his throat, bringing Ayane back to reality. "Erm…Ayane-san…?" Ayane blinked. The teacher broke the silence. "Miss Ayane, I asked you to get Mr. Hayabusa here a history book, so we may begin class." He said, with slight annoyance in his voice.
"Oh…Right..!" Ayane stood up quickly, slightly blushing, which caused a few giggles to erupt from some of her classmates. Ayane shot them her death glare, which abruptly shut them all up. She smiled to herself. No one would dare challenge her. No one that is, except for… Ayane's eyes scanned the classroom, until they fell on…Kasumi. Who was glaring right back at her. 'Probably just jealous that Hayabusa is paying attention to me, rather than her,' Ayane smirked, and made her way to the back of the classroom. Kasumi's crush on Hayabusa was no secret, and at first, Ayane paid no mind, that is until she had first started to gain feelings for the brown-haired boy herself. She had tried to shake of the feelings at first, but they soon became too severe that even she, self-proclaimed "Female Tengu," couldn't ignore. But it didn't matter. She would never tell anyone. But oh, how much fun it was going to be to torture Kasumi. Yes, this was going to be a fun year indeed.
Ayane made her way to the shelves located at the back of the room and selected a history book from one of the many piles. She handed it to Hayabusa, and made out a quick "Arigatou" from him, before he found his seat. Ayane returned to her seat and stared at the open history book on her desk. So boring. Pretty soon the sound of the teacher blabbering on and on filled her ears. Ayane sighed. "Who needs History?" she grumbled to herself before laying her head on her desk, and abruptly falling asleep.

Outside on the schoolyard, a fairly large group of students were gathered. In the midst of all the students, was a Chinese boy, one that many would consider handsome, which may be the reason there were always girls plastered to his arms. His name was Jann Lee- the most popular boy in school. Any girl would die to go on a date with him.
One of the girls clinging to Jann Lee's arm was a girl with a buff build, and semi-short blonde hair. She had her shirt tied, so it showed her stomach, and she wore her navy- blue skirt much shorter than the school would allow. She was Tina, and, being the most popular girl in school, she was of course, the only one to be called Jann Lee's girlfriend. It just went without saying.
Another amongst the group was Zack, a funky character who insisted he was a babe magnet. It was obvious he had his heart set on Tina, but she paid him no mind, and instead would involve herself in long make-out sessions with Jann Lee, so she would usually have no time for anyone, anyways. The group was discussing the "Stupidity" of their teachers and their school rather loudly, and they didn't even notice the orange haired girl approach them.
Kasumi sighed. Today was definitely not her day. From the moment she noticed Ayane's icy glare settle on herself, she knew it was going to be a bad day. And then she saw Ayane blush. She saw Ayane blush. Kasumi knew her half-sister wasn't one to let her emotions show so easily. But when she saw Hayabusa….Kasumi sighed. What if Hayabusa liked Ayane back…? She closed her eyes and shook her head. She wouldn't – couldn't – let that happen. And then, to top everything off, the teacher had sent Kasumi to find Tina and her group who had yet again decided to ditch class. Everyone dreaded facing that group. They were the self-proclaimed "popular" group in the school, and one sentence from any of them could put you at the bottom of the social status. Kasumi opened her eyes and walked faster.
She stopped when she reached the group, and cleared her throat. She was finally noticed. Everyone turned to face her. "Kasumi," Stated Tina, with a slight glare. "What brings you here? Shouldn't you be off somewhere studying like a good little girl?" She said with a roll of her eyes. Kasumi narrowed her eyes. "Actually," she began "that's just why I'm here. It would appear that half of Leon-san's class would be missing." She raised an eyebrow. Tina laughed. "Yes…and?"
"You will all report to the office immediately, or face punishment." Kasumi said without skipping a beat. Then something caught her eye; A young Chinese girl, standing among the crowd. Lei fang. Lei fang averted her eyes when she saw the glance. She admired Kasumi; she was her best friend, practically her sister, but… the older girl had promised to watch out for Lei Fang, and therefore was always on her case. It wasn't normal for Lei fang to ditch class like this, it was just…Lei fang sighed; knowing what was soon to follow.
Kasumi's eyes made their way back to the rest of the group. Tina was mouthing off as usual, but due to the distraction, Kasumi had missed most of what the angry blonde was saying. She shook her head. "You will all meet at the office, NOW." She simply stated, before grabbing Lei fang's wrist and leaving the group behind.
Lei fang weakly followed behind Kasumi, as the butterflies gathered in her stomach. Kasumi didn't say anything. She dragged Lei fang back into the school. They reached the door of their classroom. Kasumi put her hand on the door handle. Lei fang swallowed. "Kas, I-"
"Was it for him again?" Kasumi asked softly, without turning to face Lei fang. Lei fang looked at the ground. "…Yes. I don't know why I do it, I just…want to be around him, any way I can." Kasumi nodded. She knew of Lei fang's feelings for Jann Lee, but sometimes the younger girl did stupid things because of it. Kasumi wasn't feeling very well. She let go of the door handle and turned to face Lei fang. "Listen, I know how you feel, but…could you try to express your feelings in more reasonable ways, and not ditch class anymore… please?" she said with a faint smile. Lei fang looked up from the ground and smiled. "Yes," she said, sounding more like her usual cheerful self. Kasumi's smile widened and she turned around and opened the door, and the two of them stepped in the classroom.
Back out in the schoolyard, the group still gathered. Tina, now practically sitting in Jann Lee's lap, held a smug grin on her face, like she had just conquered the world. Zack approached Jann Lee and Tina. "Yo Jann, we plannin' on going inside, or what?" he said, kind of uneasy. Jann Lee smiled, and kissed Tina. "Hell no," He stated, grinning.
