Chapter 4

Last chapter you saw Ren moved to tears by her friends who refused to find a new singer for the band. I'm actually not too good touching scenes but I think that one turned out well, anyway the Starlight girls meet Zoey in this one. Now ONWARD TO THE BATTLE FIELD!

"Where are you taking me Rennie?" Zoey asked as Ren dragged her down the side walk. She said nothing just looked back at her smiling.

"Whatever it is. You must be excited about it." Zoey sighed, Ren nodded her head happily causing Zoey to laugh.

When they arrived to starlight house Zoey looked up at the house, then back at Ren. Who was nudging and pushing her sister to go in.

"You know we have our uncle to take care of us right? We don't need to stay at a girl's home." She said, Ren grumbled, then Deidre walked outside and spotted the two.

"Oh Rennie! Hey!" she called walking up to them, "Who's your friend?"

Ren smiled a bit hugging Zoey tightly. Deidre gave her a puzzled look, telling her she didn't understand. Zoey sighed.

"Uhm you know Ren? How?" she asked.

"She's hangs out with us over here a lot, Ba nee really likes her. So who are you?" Deidre asked.

"I'm Zoey, I'm Ren's older twin sister." Zoey explained. Ren narrowed her eyes. How come no one could understand her when Becky or Shirley wasn't around?

"Sister? Oh wow, you really do look like each other, well except Ren's hair is longer and a different color. Other than that you guys are almost mirror images." Deidre said. "Come on you gotta meet the rest of starlight girls."

"Ok…?" Zoey said skeptically.

Inside the others were playing or watching TV. Zoey looked around at the other girls.

"Hey everyone, look, Rennie's sister came to see her." Deidre shouted. Krissie, and Ba nee walked over, Ashley looked up from the TV but then just left bumping into Ren as she left. Ren narrowed her eyes but said nothing.

"Hi, I'm Krissie, and this is Ba nee." Krissie said, Ba nee smiled sweetly at the two.

"I'm Zoey, Uhm Ren, how exactly do you know these girls?" Zoey asked, Ren smiled sheepishly.

"The starlight girls are my friends." She said meekly. Zoey stared at them all.

"You're all friends? And you're all the same age?" She asked.

"That's right, we met when Ren first started here." Ba nee said sweetly, Zoey looked over to the girls.

"Kawaii! My baby sister's making friends her own age!" she shouted hugging Ren tight enough to break a normal person's spine. Ren wiggled to get free but Zoey wasn't budging. "My sister's really shy around people her own age. So her making friends is really hard for her."

"Yeah we know Ren wasn't real keen on the idea at first." Deidre said.

"Uh-huh, she ran off when we tried to talk to her." Krissie laughed, Ren hid her face from embarrassment, Zoey laughed.

"Wow you guys are lucky she doesn't normally run off, it usually ends in her holding her toy gun up in defense." She said laughing at her little sister.

"Uresai! Enough already! This is embarrassing!" Ren shouted, still in Zoey's death hug. Zoey stuck her tongue out at her sister.

"Aww but it's a friend's job to embarrass each other." She said sweetly. Ren gave her sister a look.

"It's not my friends doing the embarrassing, baka." She grumbled, Zoey laughed then let go of Ren.

"Anyway I'm glad to see my sister's coming out of her shell. I was afraid she was only going to have Shirley to count on." Zoey continued.

"Well even one friend is good right though?" Ba nee asked. Zoey smiled sweetly and patted the girl on the head.

"Yes but Ren's just so shy a sis can't help but worry." She said sweetly.

"Baka na, I have plenty of friends." Ren mumbled under her breath, Zoey gave a sly smirk to her sister and walked over to her. "Nani?" Zoey grabbed Ren by the cheeks pinching and pulling them.

"What was that onee-chan?" she said laughing evilly. Ren's gave a face of pain, the others just looked at the two with shock and confusion.

"Ah! Baka na! let go you crazy woman!" Ren shouted, Zoey laughed mercilessly.

"You know how to make this stop Onee-chan!" she laughed.

"W-what're they doing?" Krissie asked confused and shocked at the little spectacle.

"I don't know but I don't think that's how normal people act." Deidre said staring at the two, who had now switched positions; Ren being on top of Zoey with her hands behind her back. It was then that Becky and Blud came in.

"Are they at this again?" Blud sighed, the girls all looked at them confused. Becky laughed.

"This sort of thing is normal for the Hagane sisters. It's how they show affection for each other." She explained.

"Can't you stop them?" Ba nee asked, Becky sighed still smiling.

"Last time one of us tried to pull them off each other they couldn't play for weeks." She said looking over to Blud who shuttered, "Nah just let them have at it. they'll be done soon, Ren usually wins at this point."

"Why do they do this anyway?" Krissie asked. Becky shrugged.

"It's a Hagane thing. From what I understand they're uncle's a pro boxer. My guess is that he's the reason behind this." She said. There was a thud and everyone turned to see Ren walking toward Becky and Blud.

"Who won?" Becky asked. Ren huffed.

"That's rhetorical right?" Zoey asked getting off of the floor. "Of course Ren won." Ren grinned.

"Sorry 'bout that lost control a bit there. hope we didn't freak you out too much." Zoey said fixing her skirt. "We tend to do that."

"You guys are really weird." Ashley said from the doorway, Ren and the others looked over at her.

"How so?" Zoey asked, Ashley huffed.

"What kind of sisters try to pummel each other after not seeing each other in a while? that's weird if you ask me." She said.

"Every family has its traditions, this is ours." Zoey explained kindly but you could see the irritation on her face.

"Whatever. Wierdos." Ashley said walking off.

"Now what's gotten into her?" Deidre asked, putting her hands on her hips. Ren sighed, was she going to be mad at her forever?

Yes the Hagane sisters are known to be violent towards each other, this stems back to me and my cousin. When we were little we used to wrestle with each other, he usually won. It's what we did when we saw each other. So yeah every family has it's traditions. And yes Blud tries to stop them in the manga of mine, it results in a bad injury to his hand, which causes the band to forfeit a competition. I feel bad for Blud he always gets the crap beaten out of him by Ren. Hey does anyone even read these things? If so, review and put 'Metal lotus' that way I know. Review please! ja-ne.
