Previously...
"Kai and Tala." Hinata whispered.
Ryan looked down and saw the hate on her face.
"We'll get them." He said firmly. "But first we have to remove Spencer Petrov and Bryan Kuznetsov from the picture."
Hinata nodded.
"I will kill them." She said darkly. "They will pay for betraying me."
--
"Hiwatari! Tachibana! Get to class!" The teacher barked in a light english accent. "Valkov, get into the principals office now!"
Tala looked around and smiled at Kai and Hilary.
"Tell you about it later." He said.
Kai and Hilary nodded. Tala turned and headed for the school principals office as if he were walking to a festival. Kai sighed and Hilary shook her head.
"I hope he isn't punished too bad." she said anxiously.
"I don't really think he cares about the consequences." Kai said. "If I was the one who just bashed Jacon Katakei, I'd be so happy I wouldn't care if they gave me life detention."
----
Normal POV...
Tala sat in the hard, wooden chair opposite the Principal who sat at her desk writing silently, not even appearing to have noticed him. Tala was thoroughly bored. He knew how this woman worked; she'd sit you down and make you wait in silent suffering, letting you think of all the trouble you've landed yourself in and all the consequences that will follow. She'd wait until you were on the verge of having a mental breakdown and then she'd begin her lecture. Tala and Kai were used to it and were not affected when they were sent to her. Principal Kima Sakimura was a pretty easy going woman and was normally cheerful and kind. Though when she was pissed she could be quite stern. She was a middle aged woman with short blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. She had slightly tanned skin and had emerald green eyes. She was thin and of medium height for a woman, making her smaller than most of the teenaged boys above grade nine.
Tala sighed in boredom, finally triggering a reaction from Kima. She put down her pen and fixed her green eyes upon him, intwining her fingers on the polished timber desk in front of her.
"I hear you have gotten yourself in another fight Tala." She said softly.
"You heard right."
"What was it this time?" She asked, "Did Jacob push you in the hallway? Antagonise you? Bad mouth one of your forgotten parents or make a comment about a sister you don't have?"
Tala smirked.
"Nope." He said. "He walked into my fist. It wasn't my fault at all. I tried to help him up but I guess he wasn't as heavy as I first thought and so he sorta flew into the lockers. Oopsy daisy! Clumsy me. I won't do it again."
Kima smirked wryly at his sarcasm.
"Okay Tala. What did he do? Your answer will determine how long you will be suspended for."
"What?! I'm suspended?!"
"No, I'm just going to give you afternoon detention for beating up a fellow student." Kima said dryly. "Of course you're going to be suspended! This is the fourth fight this month Tala! You're lucky I made the School Board let you off with a suspension! They wanted to expel you! I put my ass on the line for you so you'd better show some consideration and appreciation!"
Tala sighed.
'Why is she so nice?' He thought in frustration. 'If she was a bitch I would have told her to fuck off... then again, if she was a bitch I wouldn't be sitting here with a mere suspension.'
"Fine." He said reluctantly. "Jacob and my girlfriend were seeing each other behind my back."
"Thank you." She said sitting back. "I can understand your anger. Though you should learn to excercise some self-control instead of just bashing people."
"I did excercise self-control," Tala said smiling. "I didn't kill him did I?"
Kima smiled.
"No I suppose you didn't. Still, there are better ways to relieve your anger besides beating people to a bloody pulp. Have you ever tried a stress ball? Or yoga?"
Tala snorted, almost bursting out in laughter at the very idea.
"Okay okay! So you're not a yoga person!" Kima sighed. "You'll have two weeks of detention and a week of interschool suspension."
"Interschool?" Tala groaned.
"You didn't think I was going to give you a holiday for assaulting someone did you?" Kima said with a sly smile.
Tala shook his head and gave a weary smile and thought to himself.
'Come to think of it, the devil is always the last person you expect.'
----
Kai sat in the back of English class listening to Bryan and Spencer talk about the confrontation between Tala and Jacob. It was the topic of conversation for the whole school and because their english teacher had not yet arrived, it was all that Kai heard.
"So what was the whole fight about Kai?" Spencer asked his curiously.
Kai shrugged his shoulders. "I'm guessing it had something to do with Lucy."
"I wish we could have been there to see it!" Bryan said.
"It was your choice to come late today." Kai replied simply.
The classroom door suddenly opened and Jacob walked in, still looking bashed and bruised. Kai, Bryan, Spencer and most of the class room had to supress snorts of laughter. Jacob glared at them all and sat down in a desk with is two friends. Most of the blood from his injuries and broken nose had been cleaned away but no amount of cleaning could make disappear the two large black-eyes he now sported and the slightly crooked nose which was slowly turning purple. Tyson Granger walked through the door after Jacob and took a seat in front of Kai.
"Tala really did a number on his face hey?" Tyson commented quietly so Jacob couldn't hear.
"I reckon." Spencer agreed. "I doubt his face will return to its previous structure for a few months!"
The class room door opened again and their teacher walked in. It was the bad tempered english man who'd broken up the fight earlier, and he still looked pissed.
"Text books out! Page 115 now!" He barked.
Half the class chorused dully.
"Yes Mr Roberts."
----
Hilary sat with her three friends, Mariah Ling, Ray Kon and Mas Tate at the back of her class. They worked silently, writing messages to each other when they were supposed to be studying Quadradics for their Math's test the next day. Hilary glanced over and noticed Mariah sketching the words 'Ray + Mariah forever!' into a page in her maths book and smirked. She quietly tore off a page from her book and wrote to her friend.
"Obssessing over Ray again?"
She quickly passed the note to Mariah when their orange-haired maths teacher turned to write a formula on the white-board. Mariah read it quickly and glared at Hilary whispering a curse at her which was loud enough for both Ray and Max to hear. The blonde boy smirked and the neko-jin looked at Mariah and smiled. Mariah's cheeks became a redder version of her bubblegum pink hair. The school bell started tolling, signally the end of period one. The male maths teacher turned around.
"Alright, you can all go and have a quick break. When you get back we'll have a revision test."
"I hate double lessons." Hilary said as they and the rest of the class rose to have a small break.
Her eyes rested upon Lucy who was also in their class. She looked angry and sad at the same time. What made Hilary angry was that there was no guilt on her face.
'Slut.'
"So what exactly happened this morning?" Max asked Hilary.
"Yeah! Fill us in Hil's!" Mariah said, latching onto her boyfriend, Ray's, arm.
"Tala just started bashing Jacob." Hilary answered honestly. "Oh and he dumped Lucy."
She made her last statement just loud enough for the blonde bimbo to look back and throw her a look of the deepest loathing. Hilary gave a sweet and innocent smile.
"I wonder how much trouble Tala is in." Mariah said.
"It's bound to be a lot." said Ray. "This is the fourth fight he's been involved in this month alone! I doubt they're gonna let him off with a slap on the wrists."
"Surely it wont be too bad?" Max said opptimistically. "I mean, it's only his fourth fight this month and he didn't even start two of them!"
"Yeah, it's his fourth fight this month." Ray sighed, "How many other fights has he been involved in since term one?"
The mall group was silent as realisation dawned on them. Tala was in a lot of trouble.
"He'd better pull himself together!" Hilary said firmly. "If he gets expelled then I swear I'm going to kick his ass!"
----
Tala sat in a small, clean classroom. There were only ten desks all evenly seperated and the walls were completely bare, void of any of the little educational posters which usually hung in classrooms. This at least was the upside of being stuck in the detention room. Tala despised being told by a laminated piece of colourful paper that the only place success came before work was in the dictionary or that he doesn't know what he's capable of until he tries. Like he really cared. He didn't give a damn where success appeared in the dictionary, he only cared whether the actual book would burn well. And he knew exactly what he was capable of doing... almost anything! He could walk out of this room right now and bash the first person to piss him off. If given the chance, he could kill certain people like Boris Balkov or Voltaire without hesitation.
He yawned and stared at the teacher sitting in the front of the class room, marking assessment on the desk. She had neetly cut, burgundy, shoulder length hair. It was obviously coloured because the rest of her wrinkled yet big-boned body gave evidence that she should have died along with the dinosaures. Every so often she'd snap her blue eyes onto Tala to be sure he was doing his set work. Tala did have his pen to paper but it wasn't completing any work. Instead the pens potential was used to graffiti the paper, and when the ancient woman looked away, to graffiti over the mess already ingraved on the wood surface of the desk. Tala read his previous messages on the desk and also noticed some notes left by Kai, Bryan, Spencer and Tyson from their previous visits.
The messages varied between which teachers they thought should 'get fucked' and those who should die. Though it wasn't only teachers who were being targeted. Tala had engraved Jacobs name into the desk, mixed in with a number of profanities and death threats. Tala felt his eye lids getting heavier. He was so tired. He'd stayed up almost the whole night wondering why Lucy had cheeted on him, coming to the conclusion at 1am, that he couldn't care less. He glanced at the teacher and rested his head on his arm, on the desk. He yawned again and closed his eyes. It didn't take long for him to fall to sleep.
Flashback
"Don't cry Hina," Tala whispered in an eight year old body.
He knelt beside the lilac eyed girl named Hinata. She was on her knees and had her small clenched fists up to her eyes and sobbed, trying not to look weak in his eyes.
"I'm not crying!" She said stubbornly.
"Show me where he hurt you." Tala said quietly.
Hinata pointed to her upper chest and back. She then continued sobbing brokenly.
"It's not your fault Hina." He said with anger in his voice. "Boris did it. It's his fault!"
"It hurts Tala!" She cried.
"It won't hurt forever." He said softly. "Don't worry Hina. One day, we'll get out of this place! I bet it looks really cool outside! Just think of what it would be like! No walls! No bars!"
Hinata sniffed and smiled hopefully.
"You really think so?"
"I know so!" Tala lied.
His lie had convinced Hinata and he thanked the lord he'd been blessed with his dishonest gift.
End Flashback
CRACK!
Tala sat up with a shock and breathed quickly. He looked around and noticed the ancient teacher standing in front of his desk with a broken ruler in her hand. Her arms were crossed and her thin lips were pursed, making it look as though she didn't even own any. Tala saw the other half of the snapped ruler on his desk and smiled innocently.
"On task. NOW!" She ordered.
Even though her body was old and decreped, her voice box was as young and loud as ever.
"Yes Mrs McMahon." Tala said dryly.
----
Kai entered Hilary's house after her. He was relieved to finally be out of Tyson's house. He didn't know how much more of his and Daichi's arguing he could take before he killed one of them. Tala entered in behind Kai and imediately threw himself down on the couch.
"Nice place ya got here Hil." He commented putting his feet up. "I could get used to this!"
"You will have to get used to moving around without legs too unless you get your filthy feet of my couch." She said dangerously.
Tala instantly sat up, removing his feet from the couch. He slumped back in the soft couch wearily.
"Can Tala stay tonight?" Kai asked Hilary, sounding very reluctant.
"Huh?" Hilary looked over to Tala who obviously hadn't heard Kai and was now watching the Simpsons on television. "Just make yourself at home Tala." She added sarcastically.
"Will do!" Tala called.
Hilary turned back to Kai. "Hasn't he got his own house?"
"Not really." Kai replied. "I think he's living in a hotel at the moment. His adopted parents kicked him out a couple of weeks ago. He's been living with me, Bryan and Spencer for a week at a time. It was my week this week but David's on a business trip and Tala doesn't exactly want to sleep over Tyson's house for a week."
Hilary smirked. "Good point. Alright he can stay, but for how long?"
Kai shrugged.
"A week?" Hilary offered.
One look from Kai instantly squashed that idea.
"Fine!" said Hilary defensively. "A couple of days okay? He has no where else."
"Fine." said Kai.
Hilary started towards Tala then turned back and looked at Kai.
"Weren't you the one asking if he could stay?"
"As a friend I am required to at least ask for him." Kai said. "That doesn't mean I want him to stay. I'd rather it be just us."
----
Tuesday morning was overcast, threatening a downpoor. Hilary gazed up at the clouds, walking between Kai and Tala as they approched the school grounds.
"If it rains on me, I'm going to be so pissed!" She said, almost challenging the clouds. "My jeans will be soaked!"
"Thanks again for letting me stay Hils." Tala said. "I appreciate it."
"Don't worry about it!" Hilary said happily as they entered the school grounds. "You're my friend!"
She noticed that Tala wasn't even paying attention any more. She followed his gaze and noticed Bryan and Spencer coming towards them. They stopped in front of each other. Both Bryan and Spencer looked spaced out and tired. Bryan suddenly bent down and looked at Hilarys chest. He had his face around only a foot away from her chest and read the slogan on her low cut, black shirt.
"Punk Baby..."
His words had hardly left his mouth when he recieved a harsh slap from Hilary. She turned her chest away from him.
"Ew! Bryan! You were looking at my boobs weren't you?!"
Bryan felt the red mark on his cheek, his face still looked out-of-it, as though the slap hadn't even registered to his brain.
"Maybe. Can't remember."
Hilary growled and looked at him in irritation. Tala and Spencer laughed. Kai shot Bryan a withering look and folded his arms over his chest.
"Where are you two going?" He asked.
"Home." Bryan replied. "I got pissed last night and suffering a hangover now."
"Do you have a headache do you?!" Hilary yelled into Bryan's ear.
He pulled away quickly and held his head. Hilary smirked evilly. Spencer sniggered.
"What about you?" Tala asked him.
"I was with him." He replied, cocking a thumb towards Bryan. "But dude, this hangover was is so worth suffering after last night. Hot girls were every where and one was flashing everyone. It was awesome!"
"Charming." Hilary commented, less than impressed. 'Those girls give the rest of us a bad name! How are we supposed to prove we're smarter than men when some bimbo decides to flash her boobs at everyone!?'
"We're out of here." Bryan said, keeping an eye on Hilary lest she decided to do something cruel to tweak his hangover again.
"Bye guys." Hilary said loudly as the two boys walked around them.
----
Jacob watched from a distance as Tala laughed with his friends. Cold hate eminated from the boy and if his gaze could burn, Tala would be ashes. He touched his bag. Inside the material was a steel baseball bat he'd brought for HPE. He smirked.
"Payback time Tala." He said darkly. "This time I will win!"
----
Spencer had seperated with Bryan and was heading towards the shops alone, craving a hotdog. He moved pass a pair of strangely dressed teenagers. They both looked like warriors or paid assassins or something but he paid not attention. The only thing he was listening to or noticing was his growling stomach.
Ryan and Hinata stared after Spencer. They'd both left their belongings in a hotel, specially booked and paid for by Boris. Ryan smirked behind his mask.
"Look's like we've found the first victim on our list."
Hinata pulled her long hair back and tied it into a bun, fixing it in place with two thin, needle like daggers which looked like chopsticks to the normal eye. She fastened the sash around her stomach and followed Spencer.
"The faster we get rid of him," She said, "The faster we get to Kai and Tala."
