Chapter 4: Attitude Lesson #1
Rei came home late that night and collapsed onto her bed. She quickly undressed and pulled on her pajamas. Tomorrow was going to be another long day. She fell asleep the second her head hit the pillow. The sound of birds and a slither of light on Rei's face awoke her the next morning. She sat up in bed and yawned and looked at her alarm clock. She got up and pulled out the outfit she was going to wear today. She pulled on a form-fitting black t-shirt that had a zipper at the bottom with a chain as the zipper end that connected to a spiked choker. She put the choker around her neck letting the chain fall a little bit loose. The t-shirt had the words 'For the Punx' written white. Next was a short red plaid skirt with a useless belt with many silver rings on it. Next was a pair of black platform shoes that had strings tied up to her mid-calf. Last was a black fishnet armwarmers with lots of tears in them. She smirked at her reflection and picked up the phone dialing Minako's house. A sleepy Minako answered the phone.
"Hello?" she asked before yawning.
"Hey Minako, it's Rei, do you think you and Hotaru could come over in like 10 minutes?" she asked. Suddenly Minako was very awake.
"Yea, we'll be over there soon." she said and hung up. Rei chuckled, they were already like putty in her hands. She didn't have to wait long before they were rushing up the stairs to her room. She sighed and shook her head beckoning them to her closet. Hotaru was given an outfit first, it consisted of a black shirt with a white eye and a white eyepatch across the chest, a pair of army green capri's much like the black ones Rei had worn the night before, white socks, matching army green sneakers, a spiked choker and lastly a pair of black biker gloves. Hotaru grinned at her reflection. Next was Minako who was wearing a black corset with the black leather jacket, a long purple plaid skirt that reached past her ankles and matching purple boots that reached her mid-calf and as the last accesorie, a ring was on a long chain around her neck.
"Ok, we're going out to my friend Ami's house, we're going to give you your first attitude lesson. Ami is a master in snappy comebacks and bitcy remarks. Let's go." she said and they got into her car and drove towards some apartments. Their outfits fit in perfectly with this part of town, Minako remembered her mom once calling this part of town the "ghetto" and the "slums" and she was excited at the fact that she was here. They walked up to a door labeled J-9" and Rei knocked on the door. A blue-haired girl wearing a white corset with a black leather jacket just like Rei's but with a white skull on the back and a black knee-lenght skirt with white skulls in many places and boots that were up to her knees that were not tied very well and a big spiked choker opened the door. She smirked and moved out of the way.
"Hey Rei, these the guys you were telling me about?" she said as the three girls walked inside.
"Yep, that's them. Hotaru, Minako, meet Ami. Ami meet these girls. They're here for their first attitude lesson." she said with a knowing smirk.
"Hey, nice to meet you guys." she said shutting her door. Minako and Hotaru nodded. "How far in the other zone are they Rei?" she asked circling around the two girls making them somewhat uncomfortable. Rei smirked.
"WAY in the other zone. they've got level 7 parents." she said to her.
"Ooh, that's pretty bad. Well ok, we'll start you off with a situation. You accidentally run into some kid on the street and knock them down. What do you do?" she asked looking at them with a keen eye.
"I immediatly apologize and offer to help them up." Minako said without a doubt. Ami rose an eyebrow but looked to Hotaru.
"That's right." she agreed. Ami sighed.
"Bzzt. Wrong. They swat your hand away and stand to their feet and push you to the ground and say 'You think I'm so weak that I need YOUR help you bitch?!' and grab you by the shirt. Now you've got yourself into a situation. What do you do?"
"I try to right my wrong and ask them to please remove their hold of me." Hotaru said this time as Minako nodded. Ami sighed.
"Bzzt. This time they swing a left hook to your jaw and say 'You think you can order me around?! I'll show you who takes orders!' and then procedes to beat the shit out of you. Now you're broken, bloody and you ruined some nice ass clothes over a dumb shit because you were too nice. Let Rei and I demonstrate how this scene should have gone." she said and Rei walked to her and shoved into her knocking Ami to the ground.
"What was that for bitch?" she said getting to her feet with a fierce glare in Rei's direction. Hotaru and Minako flinched. Rei shrugged.
"Your fault for getting in my way, next time watch were you're going." she said with a flick of her hair. Ami clenched her fist and threw a punch which Rei blocked easily.
"You think you can tell me what to do you bitch?"
"Damn straight I can so just fuck off. Remember the name Rei Hino and next time don't get so goddamn pushy bitch." Rei said shoving Ami back down to the ground and walking across the room. Ami smiled.
"Now Rei just earned a notch of respect. I won't be getting my ass kicked by her again. You have to stand toe-to-toe with these idiots. Wearing the clothes you do, you can't act like a pansy little prep. They expect you to put them in their place or put you in yours. Also you can't be afraid to cuss these people out. Never say you're sorry because then you look like a push-over. Only say sorry if you're being sarcastic to get their blood boiling so you can kick their ass."
"Try it out you two. Hotaru, you with Ami and Minako, try it out on me. Knock us down. We won't actually try to hit you but often these street thugs will resort to violence easily. We'll teach you self-defense later, but you should only have to use that if you're alone." she said. Hotaru walked over to Ami and walked into her knocking her down as Minako did the same to Rei.
"What the fuck? Why did you do that?" Rei said with a growl as she jumped to her feet and brushed off her skirt. Minako shook slightly but swallowed.
"Y-you were the one to get i-in m-my w-ay." Minako said with a terrified stutter. Rei sighed.
"You can't stutter like that Minako, lay down the law, I was in YOUR way, NOT the other way around."
"Ok. What do you mean?" Minako said in her bitchiest voice she could muster. "YOU were the one who ran into ME. Don't go blaiming me for your clumsy ass." she said staring Rei down. Ami, Rei and Hotaru froze. Minako blinked. "What?" she asked now confused, her eyes now clouded in innocence.
"That was GREAT Minako! That was perfect! You need to use that attitude every time! Make me get the facts straight!" Rei whooped. She gave Minako a high five. "Don't forget, cussing isn't a sin, don't be afraid of it."
"Right."
"Ok, now to resume this. My clumsy ass? You think you can just call me whatever the hell you want bitch?" Rei asked shoving Minako back but she stood her ground her best. She shoved Rei back as hard as she could knocking her back down.
"Your ass is clumsy bitch, get it straight. Don't go getting in my face if you can't take me on." she said with a glare. Ami and Hotaru were speechless as Rei tried her hardest not to smile at Minako's amazing progress. She learned amazingly fast. "The name's Minako Aino, don't forget it and don't fuck with me again." she said and turned away. The three girls burst out in applause. Minako turned around.
"You have passed that with an A++ my friend! That was fantastic! You put your foot down and put Rei in her place. I wouldn't want to meet YOU in a dark alley. That was exactly what we're looking for. Keep that air of superiority with you Minako. It's Hotaru's turn. Make us proud, if Minako can do it, so can you." Ami said. Hotaru nodded and walked into Ami knocking her down.
"Hey bitch, what's with that?" Ami said with a glare to kill. Hotaru swallowed and mustered all her courage.
"Don't fuck with me bitch, I'm not in the mood for any shit." Hotaru said with a glare. Rei and Minako nodded silently rooting her on.
"Don't call me a bitch, bitch." Ami said towering over her. Hotaru meerly rose an eyebrow.
"If you think you're so high and mighty how come you fell on your ass instead of me?" Hotaru said calmly. Ami shook in anger, her fist clenching. Hotaru just pushed her down. "Quit trying bitch, I told you I'm not in the mood." she turned around. "The name's Tomoe, Hotaru Tomoe and I suggest you keep your fucking distance if you don't want your ass kicked." Hotaru said. The three girls clapped enthuisastically, they learned so fast, it was amazing.
"Well you've definately caught on quickly, you guys are great, I'm letting you pass the attitude lesson #1 with flying colors."
"I'm taking them to the bar tonight with the boys, you wanna come Ames?" Rei said her mind already made up.
"Sure thing, sounds like fun. Lemme go get dressed." she said walking into her closet. She came out wearing a black shirt with random chains in various places and tied up at one corner showing one side of her stomach, a short black skirt with a few pleats and ruffles at the bottom, baggy boots and black strings around her arms like armwarmers. She nodded and they all got in Rei's car back to her house and walked inside to get dressed.
Rei now wore a olive green long sleeved shirt that reached past her hands, at cut off just below her breasts and had ripped fishnet around the neck, trouser clips connected her top to a olive green with black plaid lined skirt that reached her mid-thigh with black fishnet underneath that was ripped jaggedly. Next was her holey and string stockings with olive green lace-up boots that reached her mid-calf.
Hotaru wore a deep green plaid jumper with the looped belt and the black jacket over top with criss-cross stockings with black boots just like Rei's and the ring necklace and a spiked choker around her thin neck. The jumper had a zipper from the top to the bottom and cut off just above her mid-thigh.
Minako wore a black corset with two buckles on her right side with a strap across the front and a sleevless patch of ripped fishnet going from the top of the corset to around her neck. A black skirt that cut off at her mid-thigh was above a white ruffled skirt and the black fabric shredded on the white side with a few strings keeping it together fully showing the white of the skirt. Next was the holey fishnet stockings and armwarmers and lastly a pair of lace-up boots that reached her knees completing the look. They all nodded in approval to each other and got in Rei's convertible and drove to the bar and walked inside. They walked over to a table witht the five guys already sitting there and three extra seats. They looked up as the girls entered and when noticing Ami they pulled up another chair between Quatre and Wufei. Rei sat down next to Heero where her drink was waiting for her. She kissed him on the cheek before turning back to the others at the table. Hotaru was seated between Duo and Trowa and Minako was sitting next to Heero and Wufei. Wufei threw a look to Rei which she ignored and smiled.
"Order your drinks girls." she said and turned to Heero and began muttering in his ear. "They passed the first attitude lesson with flying colors Heero." she whispered. Heero nodded and kept listening. "I'm willing to take the chance on them." she said while Ami turned to the waiter with a cocky grin.
"I'll take an iced Madalyn Rouge Makoto." she said to the waitress that had her coconut hair pulled into a ponytail. Makoto winked.
"Figured as much. You girls?" she asked turning to Minako and Hotaru.
"A colk." Hotaru said looking at her hands. Makoto rose an eybrow but stayed silent.
"A sprite." Minako said in the same manor as Hotaru. Makoto nodded and was gone and back with the three drinks in a flash.
"If you need anything else, holler." she said and walked away. Rei stood up and dragged Heero to the dance floor so she could talk to him freely and privately.
"You don't think I'm taking too big of a chance do you Heero?" she said as she leaned her head against his chest.
"You seem really confident of them Rei. If you think they can handle it, then so do I."
"Thank you so much Heero, these girls learn so fast and I think they could be so great, I just don't want to ruin someone else's life." Rei said with a sigh.
"I don't think you will." he said quietly brushing a lock of Rei's raven black hair behind her ear. Just then Duo waltzed by, Ami firmly in his arms as she laughed brightly as he whirled them around the dance floor. With those two however they were having basically the same conversation.
"Hey Ames, do you think they're up to snuff?" he asked as they twirled around the dance floor.
"I've never met anyone besides us that have caught on so quickly, Minako only stuttered once and after that she was bitching Rei out and shoving her to the floor. It was amazing to see how she was able to just just snap and she had an attitude that could rival ours. Hotaru was quick to it as well. Rei and I were shocked, the way that she snapped back at us with such fierceness and calmness, she was so sure of herself, I don't think someone could replicate a facade like that. I think she was just catching on very very fast."
"If they're that much of quick learners as you say, they could easily jump the ranks then. They'll be up with us if they're as great as you and Rei think." Duo said thoughtfully. He smiled ruefully. "They seem nice enough."
"Oh whatever Duo, you just think they're cute and want them to in it." Ami said rolling her eyes. Duo grinned wolfishly.
"You know me too well Ames." he said. Ami nodded.
"Yes, yes I do." she agreed. Duo smirked and they continued dancing like maniacs and holding a calm conversation around the dancefloor. Finally both groups walked back to the table slightly flushed from all the dancing and sat back down to take a long drink. Rei looked thoughtfully around the table and looked to Heero whom gave her an encouraging nod to continue. She looked at each person in turn. First she looked at Duo who she was sitting next to and watched as he gave her a look of wonder and excitement and hope to see what Rei had decided. He could tell it was time. Next was Hotaru, one of the one's lives she planned to change forever. She had such a calm and innocent face, it wouldn't be innocent for long with the plans she had in store for her. Next was Trowa who was deep in thought and glancing at Hotaru or Minako sometimes and then staring straight into Rei's eyes and giving her a nod. Her gaze then shifted to Quatre who was flicking his lighter in a bored way and looking from Minako to Hotaru to Rei then back to the flame that was currently in his direct line of vision. Next she looked at Ami who nodded already knowing what Rei was about to say and approving. Next came Wufei who had a slightly irritated look on his face in anticipation, he was sick of waiting for Rei's announcement that she was obviously about to make. He studiously ignored Minako and Hotaru and looked fixedly at Rei. Next came Minako who had on a large smile and her bubbly eyes full of laughter and happiness, Rei couldn't help but wonder if her eyes would fade like the other's had. Then she nodded to Heero and cleared her throat.
"I just want to say that Minako, you and Hotaru have amazing learning abilities and for that, kudos to you." she said and paused as the others nodded and smiled or nodded in approval. Hotaru and Minako blushed lightly. "Next I what I'm about to say will probably change your life from this minute forward. Minako and Hotaru I have a proposition to make to you." she said and took a deep breath as Minako and Hotaru exchanged confused looks. She looked betweent them. "Hotaru and Minako I want to offer you a positon in our gang, Burnt Wings." she said with a deadly serious look in her eyes. Minako and Hotaru gasped.

Heero nodded and kept listening. "I'm willing to take the chance on them." she said while Ami turned to the waiter with a cocky grin.
"I'll take an iced Madalyn Rouge Makoto." she said to the waitress that had her coconut hair pulled into a ponytail. Makoto winked.
"Figured as much. You girls?" she asked turning to Minako and Hotaru.
"A colk." Hotaru said looking at her hands. Makoto rose an eybrow but stayed silent.
"A sprite." Minako said in the same manor as Hotaru. Makoto nodded and was gone and back with the three drinks in a flash.
"If you need anything else, holler." she said and walked away. Rei stood up and dragged Heero to the dance floor so she could talk to him freely and privately.
"You don't think I'm taking too big of a chance do you Heero?" she said as she leaned her head against his chest.
"You seem really confident of them Rei. If you think they can handle it, then so do I."
"Thank you so much Heero, these girls learn so fast and I think they could be so great, I just don't want to ruin someone else's life." Rei said with a sigh.
"I don't think you will." he said quietly brushing a lock of Rei's raven black hair behind her ear. Just then Duo waltzed by, Ami firmly in his arms as she laughed brightly as he whirled them around the dance floor. With those two however they were having basically the same conversation.
"Hey Ames, do you think they're up to snuff?" he asked as they twirled around the dance floor.
"I've never met anyone besides us that have caught on so quickly, Minako only stuttered once and after that she was bitching Rei out and shoving her to the floor. It was amazing to see how she was able to just just snap and she had an attitude that could rival ours. Hotaru was quick to it as well. Rei and I were shocked, the way that she snapped back at us with such fierceness and calmness, she was so sure of herself, I don't think someone could replicate a facade like that. I think she was just catching on very very fast."
"If they're that much of quick learners as you say, they could easily jump the ranks then. They'll be up with us if they're as great as you and Rei think." Duo said thoughtfully. He smiled ruefully. "They seem nice enough."
"Oh whatever Duo, you just think they're cute and want them to in it." Ami said rolling her eyes. Duo grinned wolfishly.
"You know me too well Ames." he said. Ami nodded.
"Yes, yes I do." she agreed. Duo smirked and they continued dancing like maniacs and holding a calm conversation around the dancefloor. Finally both groups walked back to the table slightly flushed from all the dancing and sat back down to take a long drink. Rei looked thoughtfully around the table and looked to Heero whom gave her an encouraging nod to continue. She looked at each person in turn. First she looked at Duo who she was sitting next to and watched as he gave her a look of wonder and excitement and hope to see what Rei had decided. He could tell it was time. Next was Hotaru, one of the one's lives she planned to change forever. She had such a calm and innocent face, it wouldn't be innocent for long with the plans she had in store for her. Next was Trowa who was deep in thought and glancing at Hotaru or Minako sometimes and then staring straight into Rei's eyes and giving her a nod. Her gaze then shifted to Quatre who was flicking his lighter in a bored way and looking from Minako to Hotaru to Rei then back to the flame that was currently in his direct line of vision. Next she looked at Ami who nodded already knowing what Rei was about to say and approving. Next came Wufei who had a slightly irritated look on his face in anticipation, he was sick of waiting for Rei's announcement that she was obviously about to make. He studiously ignored Minako and Hotaru and looked fixedly at Rei. Next came Minako who had on a large smile and her bubbly eyes full of laughter and happiness, Rei couldn't help but wonder if her eyes would fade like the other's had. Then she nodded to Heero and cleared her throat.
"I just want to say that Minako, you and Hotaru have amazing learning abilities and for that, kudos to you." she said and paused as the others nodded and smiled or nodded in approval. Hotaru and Minako blushed lightly. "Next I what I'm about to say will probably change your life from this minute forward. Minako and Hotaru I have a proposition to make to you." she said and took a deep breath as Minako and Hotaru exchanged confused looks. She looked betweent them. "Hotaru and Minako I want to offer you a positon in our gang, Burnt Wings." she said with a deadly serious look in her eyes. Minako and Hotaru gasped.

Yes, Quatre is a pyro, you finally happy? You know what is scary? I'm that sheltered and I'm writing a fic about a rebel girl. I had to put in a past for the pyro bit, it came into my head and I had to add it in. hahaha the dark side? I guess you could call Rei and them that and trust me, Minako and Hotaru are going over to the other side of the force. lolz. I'm glad you enjoyed this chappie as well and keep reading!

I promise to try my hardest to keep updating regularly and I hope you enjoy this chapter and all the chapters to come. You can't win, I'll lose my stuff that way! o.O eep!
Bloody Love - I couldn't bear ripping Rei and Heero apart, not only would it be cruel to them, but it would be cruel to you, me and it would break my own personal code which is to always have Rei with Heero. I'm trying to get my chapters out quickly, so I hope that will keep happening. *rubs hands with a malicious grin* Oh Minako and Hotaru are in for the time of their lives my friend, they'll never be the same. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and keep reading please!

JeRee - Yay you reviewed! I'm all happy now! This is so cool and I'm glad you like my fic! Hota/Q-man? Hmm...well I STILL haven't decided couples and they won't be forming fast, romance isn't the main thing going on, they've only seen the guys once and well yea. We'll have to see where my muse takes me. Usa the big bad? I could, I wasn't sure how I wanted to use her but we'll see, she's in the next chapter for sure, but I guarantee that you'll crack up at how Rei talks to her. I just had to put in the heero/rei dressing part because I thought it was funny. :D obviously so did you. The big secret, it's coming soon, I promise! Thanks for the review and please keep reading!
Review again please!!!!
