A/N:
Well, I decided that this story deserved to be updated even though it did not meet my requirement of two reviews and currently has the second lowest hits out of all my new stories. Still, I noticed this is the only new one that has not been updated and decided to go ahead and put up chapter two. I do not own any of the songs that are in this chapter. Please review. There is a preview up on my quizilla page. The link (along with a link to a poll) may be found on my profile page.
Now, on with the chapter!
Chapter Two: Introducing the Girls
Rena stared as the boy moved past her and toward the empty bedroom. She could almost hear the screams of jealousy from her four friends, but she didn't care. The only thing running though her mind was she was rooming with a strange boy. She almost screamed, but forced it back.
"I'm sorry," she said following the boy. "There must be some sort of mistake,"
"This is room 404 isn't it?" He asked.
"Yes it is,"
"This is the Ignis dorm isn't it?"
"Yes,"
"Then there is no mistake,"
"There must be. I've talked with the head master personally. I was told I'd be rooming with my brother,"
"These rooms are designed to have up to four people. I was assigned this room. You're just going to have to deal with it, princess,"
She could feel her anger boiling. She wanted to give the boy a piece of her mind and it was not going to be pretty.
"My name is not princess," she snapped.
"My apologies. I figured it was appropriate since you were acting like a royal brat,"
"Listen here, mister, I refuse to sit here and…"
"Sasuke, Rena, that's enough," Ryoma interrupted. "Now obviously we're rooming together. Nothing can be done about that for a few weeks as a minimum. Until then, we have to learn to get along. Can't we reach some sort of compromise here?"
"Hn," Sasuke replied turning away. "I'll be setting up my room. Just make sure your girlfriend stays out,"
He slammed the door shut behind him.
"I'm his sister!" Rena screamed at the closed door.
There was no response only making her fume even more.
"Who does that guy think he is?" She demanded turning to her brother.
"Rena, calm down. Take a deep breath and…"
"Calm down? The entire reason I spent hours debating with the headmaster was to avoid this type of situation! I want answers and I mean now!"
Ryoma sighed. It was going to be a long semester if this kept up. He grabbed her hand and led her back to their room. There he sat down next to her on the bed.
"Alright just relax. His name is Sasuke Uchiha. We're acquaintances. We know each other, but we aren't exactly close. I've heard he's pretty well off money wise, but never really seen anything to prove that. He's our age and tends to stick to himself. He has a handful of friends, knows self defense, and he's pretty smart too. We don't have a choice about rooming with him now. We'll just have to deal with it. The headmaster won't even hear about roommate problems until next month. He thinks that all we need is some time to sort things out on our own or at least give it our best shot. So like it or not, we're stuck with the current room situation for a while. My advice? Don't worry about it. Focus on the welcoming ceremony alright?"
She sighed, slowly calming down. She knew it was pointless to let her temper get the better of her so early on and she knew her brother was right. She didn't have to time to waste trying to figure out what went wrong with the roommate situation. Instead she needed to focus on the performance she was expected to put together with the upmost perfection by the following evening. Luckily, she and her friends had spent the past several months rehearsing over and over again until they could perform their routine in their sleep. She nodded to her brother.
"Alright. I won't worry about it…for now. There are much more important things to worry about. I still needed to do my pre-show routine so that I'll be prepared tomorrow. Then I'll call the girls to see if we can do a quick run through before we perform and double check our lineup. Plus I need to meet with the sound and light people that are going to be working in the auditorium and…" she replied.
"See? You have your plate full. Don't worry about the tiny problem here. I'll take care of that. I'll clue Sasuke in on a few key rules. After tomorrow, we can sit down and set up some room rules to hopefully cut down on the fighting. For now, you just focus on your performance. I know you'll do fine," he smiled.
She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Thanks Ryoma-kun. I'll do my best,"
"That's my girl,"
Rena got up and began gathering things she would need for her pre-show ritual. She got out a large bowl she had packed and filled it with water for her manicure and pedicure. She also selected clear nail polish to paint them with afterwards as well as her nail buffer, nail file, and nail clippers. From there, she pulled out her flat iron, a few hair ties, and a butterfly clip so that she could straighten her hair. She also made sure she had her mask, face wash, toner, face lotion, and (just in case) acne cream prepared for her facial. It was everything a girl needed to relax. She chose a vanilla scented lotion to top it all off.
Once everything was set, she applied her mask then, after about five minutes when it was dry, went into the bathroom and took a shower. She hummed softly as she washed up and shaved. She wrapped the towel around her body and put her hair up in another one when she was done. She brushed her teeth and used her toner followed by her face lotion. She did a quick check and put a little bit of her acne cream on some trouble spots. She smiled at her reflection and pulled her robe on over her towel.
"Isn't she done yet?" Sasuke demanded glancing toward the bathroom door from the couch.
"Relax. She'll be done soon," Ryoma replied.
"She's been in there for over an hour! How long could it possibly take to use the shower? It's been off for a while now,"
"Sasuke, she's a girl for starters. Second of all, she has a big day ahead of her tomorrow. She's starting a new year at a new school filled with boys. She's also expected to participate in the big back to school assembly tomorrow evening. This is part of her calming ritual. All in all, it's best to leave her alone and let her go about her business in peace. Trust me, it leaves us in one piece if we just let her be,"
"Hn. I still can't believe there's a girl in this room and attending our school,"
"It's an exchange program and she's not the only one. All the girls will be introduced tomorrow,"
"I don't see the point. Why should we even consider merging? We're better off staying the way we were. Combining would just be a hassle,"
"Give them a chance. I'm sure once you get to know them, the idea won't seem like such a hassle,"
"Hn,"
The bathroom door opened and Rena stepped out, housecoat wrapped tightly around her with her clothes in a small bundle in her arms. Her hair was hidden beneath a towel on her head. Still, some water dripped down the back of her neck. She looked at the boys and gave Ryoma a small smile.
"Bathroom's free," she announced before turning into her room and shutting the door.
"I told you she would be done soon," Ryoma said turning back to his book.
The Uchiha boy said nothing in response. Instead, he stood and went into the bathroom. In her room, Rena finished drying off and began her mani/pedi before putting on her lotion. Once her hands and feet were ready for the last step (painting the nails), she dried her hair and straightened it. While she was painting her nails, she began singing softly to help pass the time.
"I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads where you want to go, and if you're faced with a choice and you have to chose I hope you chose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed I hope you keep on walkin till you find the window. If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile," she sang softly. "But more than anything, more than anything, my wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big and your worries stay small. You never need to carry more than you can hold and while you're out there getting where your getting to I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too. Yeah this is my wish,"
Ryoma smiled as he listened to his sister sing. It was soft, but undeniable. He loved listening to her sing. She was really talented. Sadly, she would probably never pursue it. She wanted to be more practical which is why her grades hardly ever faltered from an A average. He sighed and glanced over at his other roommate. Sasuke obviously heard her and she had captured him for just a moment. Ryoma wasn't worried though. He knew his sister all too well. The Uchiha boy wouldn't ever be more than a friend if was even allowed that close after the fight they had endured that afternoon.
"Oh well. It's not important right now. What is important is making sure tomorrow's welcome to school assembly goes well," Ryoma thought.
When Rena finally opened the door again, she was in her pajamas and had her hair tied back in a braided ponytail. They stayed awake a little while longer before turning in for the night. The next morning, she got up around seven and sent off text messages to her four friends asking about a quick rehearsal. From there she got dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a navy blue shirt that had yellows words written on it saying: "Tell me again, why is it I need a boyfriend?" She pulled her hair into a bun sitting on her neck. She slipped on her shoes and read the confirmation text from her friends. She left a note for her brother saying that she was off to practice and would see him later before leaving.
The girls met up at the school gym and practiced for hours. They took a few breaks in order to eat, rest, rehydrate, and set up the line up for that night. They agreed to meet up at the stage half an hour prior to performance time as usual. Rena walked around campus, her nose stuck in her book, double checking everything she needed for that night. She didn't even look up until she ran into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry! It's my fault," she said before looking up.
"You're right, it was your fault," the boy with black hair replied.
She glared in response at her so called roommate.
"No need to be rude. I did apologize after all,"
"Next time, why don't you watch where you're going?" He said before he continued walking.
"Jerk," she muttered under her breath before continuing on her way.
She didn't have time to deal with him. She had more important things that were occupying her mind. At long last, it was time for the school assembly. Ryoma took his seat next his roommate and some friends. All together, there was Ryoma, his brothers Chris, Nuriko, and Kai, and his friends Lee, Kiba, Neji, Shino, and Sasuke. They chatted about random things, not really paying much attention to what was going on. Finally the lights dimmed and a few appeared on the stage.
"Gentlemen," the headmaster called stepping on stage. "We are in for a great treat today. Joining us from the esteemed Natsumi High School for girls are five beautiful and talented young ladies. These young ladies will be attending our school for the year, so please be on your best behavior and make them feel at home. Now, I'll let them introduce themselves. Please welcome, Natsumi High!"
Most the boys applauded more out of politeness than anything else. What was so great about a handful girls? There was too much competition. Still, it was possible they could at least provide some sort of entertainment. The lights dimmed once more as the headmaster stepped off.
"Five. Tenten, be prepared," a girl with brown hair styled in twin buns called as the light shinned on her.
She gave a half turn toward the audience, one hand holding up the number five. The light switched to another girl who did the same half turn and held up a number four.
"Four. Hinata Hyuuga, sit back and relax," the girl with shoulder length dark blue hair.
"Three. Ino Yamanaka, get ready," a girl with blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail called giving the same half turn toward the audience and holding up a number three.
"Two. Sakura Haruno, you're about to be blown away,"
She turned toward the audience when the light came on her holding a number two. Her pink hair rested just below her shoulders and was pushed back with a headband. Finally, the light landed on center stage where the finally girl stood. Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a butterfly clip completely off her neck. She smirked and held up a one as she gave the audience a half turn.
"One. Rena Kanari, let the show begin,"
They all turned to face the audience, an individual spotlight on each of them. Rena was dressed in a periwinkle blue tank top with a matching long sleeve, t-shirt like cover and black leggings for her pants. Her shoes were black jazz shoes. Sakura wore a bubble gum pink midriff t-shirt with the same pants and shoes as Rena. Ino wore a dark purple, sleeveless halter top with a black t-shirt like cover that stopped just before her midriff. She too had the black leggings and jazz shoes. Hinata wore a lavender v-neck t-shirt that clung enough to her to show off her figure, but not enough to show off everything. Again, she had the same leggings and jazz shoes. Finally, Tenten wore a white spaghetti strap tank-top with light pink trimming on top of her black leggings and jazz shoes. Each girl smiled before the music began. The other girls scattered to the side while Rena sauntered forward as she sang.
"Remember the feelings, remember the day my stone heart was breaking my love ran away,"
The girls on the side turned toward the center and made very slow, precise movements, showing the words of the song through motion.
"This moment I knew I would be someone else my love turned around and I fell,"
Rena turned her back to the audience and feigned falling then turned it into a back flip. The girls did several flips to reach their order in line before the chorus began.
"Be my bad boy, be my man. Be my weekend lover, but don't be my friend. You can be my bad boy, but understand that I don't need you in my life again. Won't you be my bad boy, be my man. Be my weekend lover, but don't be my friend. You can be my bad boy but understand than I don't need you again, no I don't need you again,"
They moved perfectly with the music, their movements telling the story almost as if inviting the boys in the audience to be, as the song suggested, their "bad boy". Immediately, the guys were on the edge of their seat, really enjoying and getting into the show. During the interlude, Rena turned her back to the audience and slowly began making her way toward the back of the stage once more, but as she walked the other girls did interchanging flips across the stage. If one had mis-stepped, someone would be hurt.
"You once made this promise to stay by my side," Rena sang when the music cued her.
The girls had partnered up, Tenten with Hinata and Ino with Sakura leaving Rena alone with an imaginary partner. She wrapped her arms around herself as someone was hugging her.
"But after sometime you just pushed me aside,"
The girls all stepped away from their partner with a slide, turning their heads in rejection. Rena pushed her arms away from her as if to signal being pushed away. Then she pointed toward the audience.
"You never thought that a girl could be strong. Now I'll show you how to go on,"
She ended the last note with a spin. She dropped to the ground and slowly stood as they began the chorus.
"Be my bad boy, be my man. Be my weekend lover, but don't be my friend. You can be my bad boy, but understand that I don't need you in my life again. Won't you be my bad boy, be my man. Be my weekend lover, but don't be my friend. You can be my bad boy but understand than I don't need you again, no I don't need you again,"
They finished the dance much like they had done the interlude, showing off their incredible skills as gymnasts and timing. They ended with Rena in the center, face down, in a crouch as she had landed from her last flip. The other girls crowded around. Ino and Tenten were looking off toward the sides of the stage, their back to the group while Sakura and Hinata stood on their knees back to back just behind Rena, a perfect pose. The audience erupted in applause. After a moment the girls stood up and bowed.
"Thank you very much for all your support. As representatives of Natsumi High, we are greatly honored to be here," Rena began.
"As you can see, we are not only the top five at our school chosen for this privilege, but we are also performers known as the Natsumi Kunoichi," Ino continued, her arrogant smirk in place.
She had always been very proud of her friend's talent and never hesitated to boast about it whenever the opportunity came up.
"As our way of thanking you, we were given permission to give you boys a special, private performance," Tenten added.
"We hope you enjoy the performance," Sakura smiled.
"And we hope to make this school year a memorable one," Hinata finished.
"So, please," Rena began.
She crossed one leg behind the other, and held her arms out to the side as if for balance or holding a skirt for a curtsy. The other girls followed, each smiling before looking at the boys.
"Enjoy the show and welcome to a wonderful school year."
The stood up as the next song began, Cinderella by Play. Again, they ended with an eruption of applause. They also performed Naturally by Selena Gomez and You found me by Kelly Clarkson.
"Now, while my girls get changed for the next song, I'd like to take some time to explain this next song. It's not often that we perform a song with a specific message we want our audience to understand or walk away with. This song, however, has a very powerful message that I want to have passed on. Rather than our usual dance routine, we actually will be acting out the story. For this particular song, we will need some help. The two gentlemen who will be joining us we have had the privilege of working with for many years and I have been blessed enough to call them my brothers. They are truly talented boys and very polite and patient enough to deal with me when it gets to crunch time. Please welcome to the stage Ryoma and Nuriko Kanari,"
There was a small round of applause as the two boys made their way to the stage. They each gave her a hug before disappearing behind the curtain.
"The song we are about to perform really shouldn't need an introduction, but I feel it is my duty to do so anyway. There are times when it seems that the world is crashing down around us. For a lot of people it is when they suffer a terrible breakup. For some girls, they feel it is the end of the world if he didn't love her and don't understand what went wrong. Some guys try to find what was so wrong with themselves that they couldn't keep her around. This particular song takes that situation and puts in through the worst case scenario. Each of us pray that none of you have to experience this situation or have someone close to you experience this. We ask, though, that if you see this happening or feel like this, to get help. Just like Natsumi, Konoha has staff and faculty members that are always ready to help. Never go to alcohol as an escape, as a way to make it through. Alcohol impairs our judgment. We don't always see as clearly as we should when under the influence as you will see in our performance.
Today, Ryoma and I will be narrating the story. Our very own Ino Yamanaka will be playing the lead female role while Nuriko will be playing our lead male. Our angels are Sakura Haruno, Tenten, and Hinata Hyuuga. Please enjoy, Whiskey Lullaby,"
The curtains opened to reveal the scene of a boy and girl in mid argument with a door in behind the girl. Ryoma came and took his place beside his sister handing her a guitar similar to his. She took a deep breath and nodded. Together, they began playing. The couple argued during the intro and finally, Ino walked past the door and slammed it shut.
"She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart. He spent his life trying to forget," Ryoma sang in a tenor voice.
Nuriko, a boy with light brown slightly wavy hair, shook his head and walked away to the other part of the stage that was similar to a bar where he took his seat and began downing a few shots that Hinata placed in front of him.
"We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time, but he never could get drunk enough to her off his mind until the night…"
Nuriko pushed away from the bar, stumbling as if drunk. He had a piece of paper in one hand and in the other, a toy guy.
"He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger. He finally drank away her memory. Life is short but this time it was bigger than the strength he had to get up off his knees," Ryoma and Rena sang in harmony.
There were a few shocked gasps as Nuriko faked killing himself with a bullet to the head and fell to the ground, not moving.
"We found him with his face down in the pillow, with a note that said 'I'll love her till I die.' And when we buried him beneath the willow, the angels sang a whiskey lullaby,"
Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata gently pulled Nuriko's body over toward a tree they had set up to represent the willow tree. There, they laid a black sheer fabric over him. Sakura and Tenten were dressed in black while Hinata wore white and each had a black veil to show mourning.
"La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la," Ryoma and Rena sang in unison with the three other girls.
"The rumors flew, but nobody knew how much she blamed herself," Rena sang, taking over.
Ino who had wandered the stage while the "angels" were singing, had found her way to the bar area where Hinata had taken her station again.
"For years and years, she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath,"
Sakura tried talking to Ino, but was repeatedly blown off.
"She finally drank her pain away a little at a time, but she never could get drunk enough to him off her mind until the night…"
Ino pushed Sakura away and went back through her door. She had the toy gun in one hand and a framed picture in the other. At this point, most of the audience knew what was going to happen. Some even turned away.
"She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger. She finally drank away his memory. Life is short but this time it was bigger than the strength she had to get up off her knees,"
A few people still gasped when they saw her hit the ground and stopped moving. Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata entered the scene.
"We found her with her face down in the pillow, clinging to his picture for dear life,"
They dragged her over and placed her next to Nuriko and covered her as well.
"We laid her next to him beneath the willow while the angels sang a whiskey lullaby,"
"La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la," they all finally ended in harmony.
Everyone erupted in applause. Their performance had been phenomenal. Rena smiled, pleased with their reaction. She only hoped that she had reached that many people. They continued with a few more songs including Walk Away by Kelly Clarkson, Who do you think you are? By Cascada, Fighter by Christina Aguilera, Everybody's Fool by Evanescence, and The Very Last Moment in Time by Lindsey Lohan. Finally, the show was finished. The girls were tired, but didn't show it. Instead, they kept smiling and bowed as they received a standing ovation.
"Thank you so much for coming out today and supporting us. We hope to make this year the best ever and hope you all enjoyed the show," Rena said before leading the curtsy as she did at the beginning of the show.
"Have a good night and thank you again," the girls said in unison as the curtsied and smiled at the audience again.
Finally, everyone began to file out. Once it was safe, Rena flopped down on the ground. Her ankle couldn't take anymore. While she had been dancing for Everybody's Fool, she landed poorly after a spin, but she had managed to pull it off by changing it to a flip so no one would know she was hurt. Now she was suffering for continuing. The pain ran up her leg, throbbing. Ryoma came up on the stage waving to the girls.
"Hey! You guys did a great job," he congratulated.
"Thanks, Ryoma-kun," Ino giggled.
"Yeah, now I'm bushed!" Sakura sighted sitting next to Rena.
"Me too," agreed Tenten.
"I-I think we deserve a good rest," Hinata said softly, smiling.
"Sounds good. How about this: tonight, we go home and rest up then tomorrow after classes we all go out for ice cream or something to celebrate?"
"Yay!" Sakura and Tenten cried throwing their hands up.
"Sounds good, Ryoma," Rena smiled.
"You okay, Ren?" He asked.
"Um…yeah. My ankle just hurts a little, but I'm fine,"
"Are you sure? It looked pretty painful when you landed," Hinata said, concern coating her tone.
"I'll be fine guys, really,"
"I'm still going to have you go straight to bed when we get home," her brother said kneeling down and looking at her ankle. "We'll also wrap it and maybe put some ice on it. It looks like you may have sprained it. You've got to be more careful Ren!"
"I know. I will be. I promise,"
He sighed and scooped her up in his arms, one arm under her knees and the other supporting her back (bridal style). She groaned slightly. She didn't like being babied, but knew she didn't have a choice. It was bad enough she kept dancing after her injury. Walking would risk it turning into something serious. She put her arms around her brother's neck for support and waved to her friends as he carried her to back to their dorm. She yawned, completely exhausted. She rested her head on her brother's chest and inhaled deeply. He was so warm and comfortable. His heart was beating in time with a slow metronome, perfect for a lullaby.
"Sh. Go ahead and sleep," he whispered. "You deserve it. You worked hard and deserve a good long rest. I'll take care of you. I promise,"
She smiled and let her eyes fall shut.
"Thanks, Ryoma-kun,"
She yawned again and cuddled up against his chest. He chuckled and kissed her forehead. It wasn't a long walk from the auditorium to their dorm. He never minded carrying his sister. He liked taking care of her. It was almost like his duty to care for her. When he reached the dorm he groaned. Even with the door shut, he could hear the distinct loud voice of the most hyperactive kid in the entire school, Naruto Uzumaki. He silently prayed the boy wouldn't wake up his sister. If he did, they were all in trouble. She stirred slightly in his arms.
"Here goes nothing," Ryoma thought before opening the door.
Naruto was sitting across from Sasuke in the main room practically shouting about how amazing the performance had been. The Uchiha boy didn't seem at all pleased with his best friend. Instead, he looked rather bored with annoyance slowly creeping into his face.
"Just perfect," Ryoma thought.
Naruto looked up when the door opened.
"No way!" He shouted. "Teme, you're rooming with one of the girls? You are so lucky!"
"Naruto, could you please keep it down?" Ryoma asked softly. "She's really tired and needs sleep. I'd rather not have her woken up,"
"You mean she's asleep already? Man! You guys are so lucky! Which one of you gets to share the bedroom with her?" Naruto shouted.
Rena stirred.
"Ryoma-kun, make it stop," she whimpered half asleep.
"Hn. She's a spoiled princess," Sasuke said as Ryoma hushed her back to sleep.
"Sasuke, I would prefer if you could not say such things about my sister," the brown haired boy said sternly before laying his sister down on her bed.
"Woah! You're her brother?" Naruto shouted.
Ryoma groaned softly as he wrapped her ankle and tucked her into bed. He came out of the bathroom and shut the door behind him.
"Yes, I'm her brother. Twin to be exact. She is not a spoiled princess. She's just tired. That performance took a lot of work and all you saw was the end product. That's to say nothing for the hours of practice she had to put in just to get it to performance level. She's used a lot of energy. Please, do us all a favor, and keep it down so she can sleep. She's not exactly pleasant when she's been woken up after thoroughly exhausting herself like that,"
"Oh, okay," Naruto said lowering his voice.
"Hn," Sasuke replied turning away.
"Oi teme! Can't you show any respect? She just put on an amazing show and all you can do is call her a spoiled brat and go 'hn'? What the hell?" The blonde boy shouted.
"So much for quiet," the Kanari boy thought then said. "Naruto, please, lower your voice,"
"I can't believe you Sasuke! Do you know how many guys would kill to be in your position? And you don't even care!" Uzumaki continued shouting.
"Naruto…"
"Ryoma-kun?"
He turned toward the bedroom door and saw Rena standing there, all of her weight was on her uninjured foot. She was rubbing one eye much like a toddler would after waking up from a nap.
"Rena, it's okay. Go back to bed," Ryoma said softly, trying to coax her.
"Who's making so much noise?" She whimpered.
"Hey!" Naruto said running toward the girl. "You were great! I mean your dancing was something else!"
"W-who are you?" She asked.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" He shouted proudly. "What's your name…"
She took a step toward him and stopped on his foot before she used the heel of her hand to hit his chin upward. She finished off giving him a swift kick to the stomach. He stumbled backward and fell onto the couch, the air completely knocked out of him.
"If you don't mind, some of us are trying to sleep. So would you kindly shut the hell up?" She snapped glaring at the boy.
"S-sure thing," Uzumaki panted slightly terrified.
She nodded and stood for a moment longer before almost collapsing, groaning in pain.
"Ren!" Ryoma cried catching her.
"It hurts," she whimpered. "It really, really hurts,"
"Sh. Alright come on. Let's get you back into bed. You need to stay off that ankle for a while. Don't worry. We'll keep the noise down so you can rest,"
She nodded and let him pick her up again. Once she was settled in bed again, he came back out to the main room. Naruto had finally sat up and was rubbing his slightly bruised jaw. Ryoma sighed.
"Now, if you don't mind, please keep the noise level down. It's for all of our safety. Frankly, I would like to be able to walk tomorrow. Wouldn't you?"
The blonde boy only nodded.
"Good. Now let's keep it down and nobody gets hurt,"
A/N:
And thus concludes chapter two. I hope you enjoyed and maybe got a few more people to give it a chance. ^_^ The songs that are sung that have no information are Bad Boy by Cascada and Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisely. I do not own any of the songs. If you do not agree with my song choices, I'm sorry, but tough luck.
I did my best with trying to describe some of the dance routines, but it's difficult. I'm sorry if it gets confusing there.
Please, I would like to get one or two reviews before I post again. If I'm struck with inspiration, I may just update anyway, but reviews are always nice. Thanks for reading!
Until next chapter,
-Rinoa-san
