A/N: Wow it's been too long sorry for the wait so sorry but! I got my mojo back :'D Well! Flame and comment away! Please don't hold back! Love my fans! 3 Enjoy!
"Sister? It is you. What are you doing here? I've missed you, I've searched everywhere for you. You've grown to be… so little." The boy walked over to Keri. The only thing Keri could do was stand there staring at the boy. She blinked and stepped forward, in one swift move Keri slapped the boy so hard she left a handprint on his face. "What was that for?" The boy rubbed his throbbing red cheek.
"Don't ever leave me like that again Shikaru! Do you know how scared I was? No! You do not! I was alone for so long, I didn't think I would make it." Tears began to fall from Keri's eyes Shikaru tightly hugged his sister feeling as if he would never let go.
Hearing a knock on the door Shikaru walked over and answered it, Keri was in her room jumping on the bed.
"Is Keri here?" Two men stood outside the dorm.
"Hm? Keri? No I'm sorry you have the wrong dorm." Shikaru was closing the door when Keri rushed over.
"Who is it Shikaru?" Keri peeked around her brother to catch a glimpse. "HEY!!! Ikkaku! Yumi! Do you guys have a roommate too?" Keri asked as she climbed onto her brothers back.
"Keri? This guy said we had the wrong room." Yumichika tilted his head to the side in confusion.
"Keri? You're mistaken; my sister's name is certainly not Keri, its Sarah." Now everyone was confused.
"What? That girl on your back is Keri you idiot." Ikkaku hated to be wrong, and besides he knew he was right this time.
"Are you stupid or just slow? Her name is Sarah." Shikaru spat back but still kept his composure.
"You wanna fight pretty boy?" Ikkaku reached for his sword.
"Well, my name was Sarah but its Keri now brother, I didn't have any good memories when my name was Sarah and besides I didn't know who I was when these two found me brother." Keri said looking at her brother.
"Did you just say brother?" Yumichika asked now even more confused. Ikkaku wasn't sure how to react, cutting the guy down for abandoning her or hug him for coming back, maybe he can get Keri to act like a woman, she's been around men all her life so that's all she knows.
"Yep yep this here is Shikaru my twin brother." Keri smiled brightly and hugged Shikaru from the back.
"Twin?! You always said you had a BROTHER not twin!" Ikkaku exploded.
"What's the biggie? It's the same isn't it?" Keri hopped off her brothers back and onto Ikkakus'.
"Would you get off?" Ikkaku frowned.
"Can we go inside? We're drawing attention." Yumichika nodded his head to the left where he noticed people standing outside their dorms to see what all the commotion was about.
"Of course, we certainly don't want attention, which would only bring more conflict." Shikaru went inside and everyone followed him into the dorm and closed the door behind.
"He certainly is the complete opposite of Keri isn't he Ikkaku?" Yumichika whispered to his long time friend.
"Yeah you're right, he's more mature, well he acts his age unlike that brat Keri." Ikkaku replied.
"Hey! I'm not a brat!" Keri yelled in Ikkaku's ear while still on his back.
"So let's get on with this conversation, we missed our first day because everyone over slept. Now we can go out for some drinks Keri." Yumichika suggested.
"Alright!! Drinks! Bars! A night on the streets! Guys! Lots of guys! And drinks too!" Keri shouted and jumped onto the table.
"Ugh, this is what I mean! Get down Keri! And we're not goin to be roamin the streets you idiot!" Ikkaku grabbed Keri's hand and slammed her onto the floor.
"Well, now that that's handled, Shikaru you do realize Ikkaku and I don't fully trust you with our Keri right?" Yumichika got straight to the point.
"Yumi! Why not? He's my brother!" Keri shouted.
"He's right Sarah, I understand Yumichika, you think I'll abandon her again but I wont, of course you don't believe that until I've been around long enough and my actions show that I will never leave her side." Shikaru sipped his tea.
"That is not entirely true, even if you do stay around and change your actions to make me believe that I can trust her with you or even let her let you back in her life, it does not mean that you won't leave after I let that happen. I may not ever trust you I just want to make this clear to you." Yumichika sipped the tea Keri had made for him.
"That is completely understandable but do not think I will trust you that easily as well, just because Sarah has been with you all of this time does not mean you are worth trusting. She is and has always been my sister that will never change. Though you found her at a young age we still went through a lot together and again she is MY sister by blood not yours." Shikaru smiled has he finished his tea.
"I see. Keri are you ready to go. It seems we're done chatting." Yumichika smiled and bowed to Shikaru. "Thank you for providing the tea and nice chat. Goodbye now."
"But I made the tea!" Keri whined.
"Yeah but everyone knows you didn't buy it." Ikkaku laughed.
"Hmph." Keri, Ikkaku and Yumichika headed out the door.
"Be careful Sarah, come back tonight." Shikaru waved.
"Call me Keri from now on Onii-chan" Keri waved and smiled at her brother.
"Geez who would've thought Keri's brother would be like that? He's a stuck up bastard." Ikkaku shoved his hands in his pockets and glanced over at Keri.
"He certainly is the opposite from our lovely Keri." Yumichika patted Keri on her head. The three stopped at Ayumi's dorm to recruit her, to their surprise a red haired boy opened the door.
"Yeah? Whatcha want?" Renji asked looking a bit annoyed. Keri gasped as if she had just seen a bug.
"Ayumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" Keri shouted very loudly causing Renji, Ikkaku and Yumichika to cover their ears. Ayumi walked over to the group.
"Hey guys what's going on? Why are you glowing Keri?" Ayumi was suspicious of the group.
"No reason let's go! We're going to the bar! C'mon I got lots of stuff to tell you!" Keri grabbed her friends arm and tugged, hard. "Oh Pineapple can come too!" Grabbing Renji's arm with her other hand she led the way out of the building.
"Red Pineapple? Me? What the hell?" Renji didn't like that, at all. "The names Renji pipsqueak, ya hear?" Dragging his feet behind Keri, Renji looked over at Ikkaku and Yumichika. "She forced you guys too?" He snorted feeling a bit better knowing he wasn't the only one being dragged with the new psycho on campus.
"No. We want to go, why stay in the room all night before classes tomorrow?" Yumichika smiled. Renji looked away.
"Hey hey! Look! We're here!" Keri shouted and charged into the bar, sitting on one of the barstools next to two big guys Keri waved for Ayumi to come sit next to her while Ikkaku and Yumichika sat at a near by table.
"There's no more seats up here Keri, I'll just go sit with Renji" Ayumi smiled and turned away.
"Nonsense! Hey, move it buster! My friend wants to sit here! Get up!" Keri shouted at one of the abnormally large men sitting next to her. The man turned to face Keri. "You deaf?! Get up big guy!" Keri was starting a scene already. Ikkaku and Yumichika face palmed.
"You talkin to me little girl?" The man stood up and cracked his knuckles. Keri stood on her barstool.
"Yeah, I am! What of it? Move!" Keri cracked her knuckles to show she was not backing down any time soon. Ayumi wasn't going to try to stop what was about to happen because Keri always gets her way.
"You're just a little girl, are you even allowed in this place? What're your parents teachin ya?" The man turned to his friends and laughed, he turned back to face Keri and was knocked out cold in one hit.
"I'm not little" Keri pouted and cracked her knuckles again causing the other men to grab their friend and leave. "Look now there're lots of seats Ayumi! Sit!" Ayumi sat next to Keri and motioned for Renji to come over and sit next to her. Someone chuckled in the back of the bar. You could not see him it was so crowded. "Well? Whatcha want. I'm getting a Mango Saketini," Keri told her best friend. Ayumi ordered blue apple sake and slowly sipped it. "What? That's it?! You're being a wimp Ayumi c'mon! Drink up, Yumi and Ikkaku are paying!" Keri ordered 12 more mango saketini's. 10 minutes later Keri ordered 11 more then stumbled into the women's bathroom where she found her self-standing in front of the mirror slightly pale but not enough for anyone to notice. She rinsed her face with cold water so she could get back to drinking, Keri closed her eyes for a second, when she opened her eyes it was dark. Someone turned the lights off, Keri assumed it was Ikkaku playing tricks on her because she was drunk. Not paying it any attention Keri continued to wash her face; she was used to being in the dark so it bothered her none.
"He's so stupid, stupid Ikkaku; did he think this would scare me?" Keri turned around and started to walk toward the door, she stopped and looked to her left where she thought she felt the presence of someone but she figured it was just her imagination again. Keri was yanked and pressed up against the cold stone-wall of the bathroom before she could even touch the handle of the bathroom door. She was stuck between a hard wall and an even harder what felt like a person.
"Wha-" Keri, interrupted with a strong hard kiss, she was so confused, she couldn't identify the persons scent because all she could smell was alcohol. Pressing harder against Keri the oversized man propped Keri up higher on the wall with one hand and began to caress her right thigh. Keri gave in and sank her hands into his rough hair, their tongues battled viciously as the mystery man slowly crept up Keri's thigh. Keri, ready for anything did not try to stop him, before he could slide her shorts off there was banging on the door.
"Oi you in there Keri? You've been in there for a while! Hey why is the door locked?! Keri! Open up if you're in there!" Ikkaku shouted and withdrew his sword. Keri found her self sitting on the cold wet bathroom floor right before Ikkaku cut the door down, he turned the light on and scanned the bathroom for anyone else while Yumichika ran over to Keri's aid.
"What happen? Why are you sitting on the floor in the dark? And why is your mouth all bruised up?" Yumichika helped Keri up and out of the bathroom.
"Well I didn't find anyone in the bathroom and the window was closed and locked tight so I don't know what could have happened, we should head home now." Ikkaku picked Keri up and walked over to Ayumi. "Let's go, Keri needs sleep before classes tomorrow." Ikkaku nodded toward Renji, Ayumi grabbed Renji and the 5 headed home.
